Google – whose entire business model is built on centralized surveillance meant to tax everything you do – has published new research on privacy-preserving digital cash.
Anonymous Quantum Tokens with Classical Verification
Google Quantum AI (the authors’ affiliation) is their quantum computing research division. They’re racing against all the other commercially sponsored academics to demonstrate “supremacy” by proving practical quantum applications.
This paper is therefore an academic statement, not a product Google intends to deploy yet, still worth unpacking.
It’s basically like reading about tobacco companies funding cancer research. It’s like reading about oil companies funding climate research.

Cryptographic guarantees of anonymity
Explicitly designed to prevent surveillance
This trust scheme requires a trusted bank/issuer to mint and verify tokens. Security comes from quantum mechanics (unconditional) generating tokens that are explicitly one-time-use. There’s no distributed or shared record of all transactions, just the bank’s private verification history. It is like physical cash or centralized payment systems where you trust the issuer yet want anonymity.
Maybe Google will patent it such that it can never happen without them. This is straight from the tech monopoly playbook. See: Google’s codec patents, Apple’s design patents, pharma evergreening.
Or maybe it’s about selling centrally planned and controlled infrastructure. It’s the predatory Oracle database model – you think you’re independent, but you’re codependent on their abusive stack forever.
If a central bank implemented this, would they use Google’s quantum infrastructure? (Vendor lock-in) More importantly, would Google have backdoor access? (National security concerns) What other reasons would Google want this to be realized, since it reduces ad targeting potential? Is it like Coke selling water?
If Google provides the infrastructure, they control the hardware that mints tokens. They could inject distinguishable states at manufacturing, while the “identical token” guarantee depends entirely on trusting Google’s implementation. This is like Juniper routers with NSA backdoors, but quantum.
The question is whether anyone should trust Google-controlled infrastructure for privacy, regardless of the math.
The answer is obviously no.
This academic framework for quantum surveillance resistant to mathematical proof is highly vulnerable to implementation compromises in every layer of the stack they control.
These numbers are straightforward enough. Deploy a robotic pool cleaner to the bottom of ships to reduce drag, and save huge amounts of fuel.
A recent trial between the NRMA and the Rozelle-based hull-cleaning robot manufacturer revealed a 13 per cent fuel reduction on the diesel-powered NRMA Manly Fast Ferry fleet.
Using its arsenal of 4K cameras (mounted on the top, front and rear), dedicated lighting, sensors and propellers, the Hullbot successfully replaced the role of human divers during the trial to deliver a more regular, time-efficient hull cleaning maintenance.
Doing so reduced the amount of underwater drag created by biofouling (the accumulation of marine growth on ship hulls), which in turn made the circa 24-metre long vessels more efficient through the water.
Furthermore, the AI-powered robots performed critical cleaning duties on the hull exteriors that eliminated the need for antifouling paints.
The buried lede is the reduction in deadly paints. Antifouling is another word for toxicity, because the “fouling” stuff is being killed. These robots reduce a need to pollute, saving even more money on both paint and cleanup from the paint effects.
No wonder Hullbot just raised over $10M in a series A.
The new DHS rule (effective December 26, 2025) authorizes CBP to photograph all non-citizens at every entry and exit point, with photos retained for up to 75 years in the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT). It targets anyone crossing at airports, seaports, land borders, and even people using private airfields and marinas.
…DHS retains certain records for up to 75 years, which is necessary to support the holding of biometrics of subjects of interest in immigration and border management or law enforcement activities.
Now every technical prerequisite is in place for… what, exactly? This system can process millions daily, track individuals for life, integrate across enforcement agencies, and operate with minimal oversight for an entire generation.
The 75-year retention detail seems to be the key, a loud dog whistle, as it makes no sense for border management. It makes perfect sense for… race-based multigenerational population control.
This is as good a time as any to highlight that Hitler’s men modeled their “immigration” systems on American President Woodrow Wilson’s “border control” in Texas, with each stage justified by “administrative efficiency” and “public safety.” Nazi chemist Dr. Gerhard Peters published in 1938 his photographs of the El Paso delousing chambers, advocating Texas-like Zyklon B use in German camps.

Peters later managed the company that supplied pesticides to death camps, and was convicted at Nuremberg. Wilson however still escapes proper scrutiny for what in 1916 was called El Holocausto, so here we are again.

This Bisbee tragedy expanded further in 1917 to industrialized efforts at ethnic cleansing.
The event itself has become known as the Bisbee Deportation. On July 12, 1917, roughly 1,200 copper miners, who’d been striking for better wages and safer working conditions, were rounded up at gunpoint, some by their own relatives, and sent via cattle car to the New Mexican desert, where they were left to die.
Forced at gunpoint into cattle cars, left to die in a desert, bodies stacked and burned… in America.
So you see, Nazis studied the “America First” platform of President Wilson, because it showed methods of roundups and concentration for the purposes of mass executions. Elaine, Arkansas 1919 was literally federal troops sent to open fire on civilians, killing hundreds who had dared to be Black and ask for higher wages.

The Nazis didn’t invent the genocide infrastructure they built, they copied the America First platform. Hitler praised American immigration law in Mein Kampf as a model of “scientific” race policy. German legal scholars cited American anti-miscegenation statutes when drafting the Nuremberg Laws. Henry Ford’s antisemitic rantings became required reading in German schools. America demonstrated first that industrial-scale racial oppression was administratively possible. The Nazis studied and imported the American methods. It was no coincidence Ford, IBM, Standard Oil and even Coca Cola were implicated in facilitating a Nazi Holocaust.
Coca Cola promoted Hitler’s Nazism in Wisconsin to attract “Silver Shirt” consumers
The question is not: whether unitary-executive genocidal capability exists in America, again. It does.
The question is: What prevents moving from the concentration to elimination phase, again?
With a $45 billion detention plan underway since July, the United States has been in the concentration camp building stage, and now is flexing the technical and procedural infrastructure to increase numbers detained.
The Five Prerequisites for Genocidal Infrastructure
Component
Nazi Germany
DHS Today
1. Comprehensive Identification
Census identified 500,000+ Jews, using IBM punch card systems
Kristallnacht. Forced relocations. Deportation to camps.
July 2025: Congress allocated $45 billion for new detention centers. Capacity doubled to 110,000 beds. Family detention reactivated. Fort Bliss military base tent camp holds 5,000. South Texas Family Residential Center reopened 2,400 beds. Karnes County facility reopened 830 beds. At least 13 deaths in ICE custody since January 2025. Conditions described as “hell on earth”. Medical neglect. Overcrowding. Pregnant women detained. Families separated. 125 facilities opened or expanded in 2025.
Elimination
Wannsee Conference 1942. Genocide.

Critical Questions
Question
Answer
Are there substantive structural differences?
No. Both systems provide comprehensive identification, permanent records, agency integration, legal framework for reduced rights, and limited oversight.
If genocide were the plan, is DHS ready?
Infrastructure is in place. All five prerequisites exist.
What prevents genocidal use?
Political factors only. Declared intent does not exist. Democratic constraints present but eroding.
Why 75-year retention?
Visa overstays resolved in weeks. Immigration violations in years. 75 years covers birth to death. Multigenerational tracking.
What’s required to activate?
Redefine target population. Expand interior enforcement. Activate detention at scale. No new technical capabilities needed.
