00:00:00.000 I could stand here and say more or less what other people are going to say about the effect of these 15-minute neighbourhoods,
00:00:05.000 soon to become digital ID facial recognition zones.
00:00:09.000 Let's say my friend lives in Zone 3 and I'm in Zone 1.
00:00:12.000 If, for example, I went to my friend's house in Zone 3, my parents normally would come and pick me up in their car.
00:00:19.000 It only takes 10 minutes.
00:00:21.000 So does that mean that they would have to go round the ring road and back into town again?
00:00:25.000 If my mum or dad had to drive round the ring road, it would take 30 minutes,
00:00:29.000 causing much more pollution and leaving a much bigger carbon footprint.
00:00:33.000 They will say, you can walk home.
00:00:36.000 Would that be safe for me to walk home?
00:00:39.000 Me as a 12-year-old walking home in the dark alone.
00:00:43.000 Is that really going to be safe?
00:00:45.000 Then they will say, oh, don't worry about that.
00:00:48.000 We've already thought of that. You'll be safe.
00:00:50.000 We will have a thousand cameras on the streets following you and tracking you all the way home.
00:00:55.000 Oh, and just remember, it's for your safety.
00:00:59.000 What? Are you serious?
00:01:02.000 Do you really think I want to be watched every second of the day?
00:01:05.000 Are you serious?
00:01:07.000 Thousands of cameras tracking by every move until I get home.
00:01:11.000 At this point, I have to ask, is my safety that important to me that I want to be followed by cameras all the way home?
00:01:18.000 Or do I prefer to have freedom than privacy?
00:01:21.000 For your information, I still wouldn't feel safe.
00:01:24.000 No amount of cameras is going to stop someone who wants to attack me.
00:01:28.000 I want to be safe, but not to the extent that I am prepared to govern my freedom and my privacy to have it.
00:01:34.000 As a 12-year-old, I am really concerned about my future.
00:01:37.000 And to Klaus Schwab, I say this.
00:01:39.000 How dare you.
00:01:40.000 How dare you steal my childhood and my future. 0.83
00:01:49.000 And the future of all children by enslaving us in your crazy digital surveillance prison.
00:01:54.000 We all know where this is leading.
00:01:57.000 These are the first steps of a dystopian reality called 15-minute neighbourhoods.
00:02:01.000 From a small seed, a huge tree can grow.
00:02:05.000 Climate change is being used to control us, to nudge us in the direction the greedy people want us to go.
00:02:11.000 The truth is that the greedy people want total control over everything we do, everything we think and everything we say. 0.92
00:02:19.000 Our government has been hijacked by greedy and selfish imposters posing as politicians. 0.92
00:02:24.000 They believe they are better than us and masters over us. 0.85
00:02:27.000 And until this problem is effectively dealt with, the tyranny will continue.
00:02:32.000 Thank you.
