Description

Recorded on Aug. 20, 2024

What could be more humanitarian than aiding refugees fleeing from persecution in their home country? Not much… but wait! Why are all these strings attached? Join Terra and Peter in plumbing the depths to which the United Nations Refugee Agency goes to promote biometrics, digital IDs and complete tracking of EVERY refugee... and how it ends up enslaving them all within a global agenda.
