Global Digital IDs Are Coming
Congress has taken a huge step towards rolling out digital IDs
for U.S. citizens, fulfilling the wishes of the World Economic
Forum and Bill Gates, and there has hardly been a whisper about
the major development in the mainstream media.
It's almost as though the globalist elite have instructed their
minions in the mainstream media to keep quiet about their plans
for global domination.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, efforts have been underway
to advance digital identification systems, including mobile driver's
licenses and vaccine passports. In 2020, the World Economic
Forum (WEF) rolled out plans for its COVIDPass, which required
users to have their blood screened at an approved COVIDPass
laboratory.
Now, in the midst of a media blackout, a proposed national digital
ID system for U.S. citizens is fast becoming a reality following
a vote by the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental
Affairs Committee to advance the Improving Digital Identity Act.
John Solomon's Just the News outlet report (

In simple language, a digital identity enables an individual to
prove who they are in the virtual world. Proponents claim digital
IDs offer greater privacy than traditional forms of identification
and can help minimize some of the risks associated with physical
documents such as driver's licenses, passports, etc. Others, though,
are quick to sound the alarm, warning that the introduction
of digital IDs will almost certainly lead to an erosion of civil
liberties.
"Digital is often touted as the 'future,' and many people cast such
a transition as inevitable," writes Jay Stanley, a senior policy
analyst at the ACLU, who believes digital IDs could prove
to be a privacy nightmare. "But digital is not always better
- especially when systems are exclusively digital."
"There's a reason that most jurisdictions have spurned electronic
voting in favor of paper ballots, for example," Stanley writes. With
voting software in some states vulnerable to outside interference,
paper ballots increasingly appear to be much safer.
Similarly, digital IDs are vulnerable to attack. Horror stories
involving people's identities being stolen are not uncommon.
Remember, digital IDs are synonymous with data, and if there
is one thing hacker's love, it's data - especially the data of U.S.
citizens.
Some have speculated that the introduction of digital IDs and
vaccine passports in the U.S. is laying the infrastructure for
a social credit system similar to the one in China. China's social
credit system, a massive undertaking of government surveillance
that aims to combine 600 million surveillance cameras - about
one for every two citizens - with facial recognition technology,
has an end-goal of being able to identify anyone, anywhere,
within three seconds.
Programmable central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) add
another layer of control. As a fiat currency in digital form that
is programmable, it would be easy to make it so you can only spend
your money on certain things or in specific places, as desired by
the issuer.
Then there are the seemingly innocuous smart meters, which raise
serious privacy concerns, not to mention health concerns from their
related electromagnetic fields. Before smart meters were widely
available, your electricity usage was recorded by a meter reader
who would visit your property once a month and manually record
your energy usage.
As The Telegraph reported, Britain's Crossbench Peer Lord Alton
warned of the dangers of intertwining mass surveillance systems
with daily living. "[W]e simply cannot allow the tools of genocide
to continue to be used so readily in our daily lives. Mass
surveillance systems have always been the handmaiden of fascism.
The government should come forward with a timetable to remove
these cameras and technology from the public sector supply chain."
In the end, the global superpowers won't go so far as to create
a worldwide digital ID that can simply be left behind when you feel
like it. They'll want something much more permanent, something
that can't be left at home.
Sweden is one of the earliest adopters of implantable microchips.
The chip is implanted just beneath the skin on the hand, and
operates using either near-field communication (NFC) - the same
technology used in smartphones - or radio-frequency identification
(RFID), which is used in contactless credit cards.
Already, Sweden has become more or less a cashless society. Now,
this tiny implant will replace the need for debit and credit cards
all together, as well as identification and keys. To pay for an
item, all you have to do is place your left hand near the contactless
card reader, and the payment is registered.
An estimated 5,000 to 10,000 Swedes have been chipped so far,
although Swedish authorities claim they don't know the exact
number, as there's no central registry. In the end, everything will
be connected to a single implantable device.
