Big tech companies and governments are promoting the advent of a new Chinese / Indian style digital identity for everyone. The corona crisis has fast-tracked this digital ID agenda and many experts have warned ‘This is the end of freedom.’

“This is pretty important,” says Bud. “The evolution of vaccine certificates will actually drive the whole field of Digital ID in the future. So, therefore, this is not just about Covid, this is about something even bigger.” – Andrew Bud of Iproov.

Andrew Bud is the founder and managing director of iProov, a London-based company that sells facial recognition technology and developed the British corona app.

"We believe that schemes offering options for people to show their digital credentials & biometrically authenticate their face, instead of presenting photo ID, will provide the best way to meet these requirements." Andrew Bud, Founder & CEO, iProov.

Dr Toby Norman the CEO of Simprints, a UK start-up that also develops biometric techniques, called it "an opportunity to launch the systems of tomorrow."

Thales also wrote in a blog post that the corona pass will serve as a ‘steppingstone for the introduction of a digital ID card’. It asked governments to ‘create a platform for the digitisation of identity and health data’.

Two years into the plandemic, Europe is now taking its first steps towards a much broader use of digital identification systems other than the corona entry pass.

The design of the European Corona app was only a "first version of what could develop into an ultimate digital wallet" the EC told Follow the Money. This development is moving fast, says the spokesperson. "We will continue to work on this with the Member States."

Big Tech Microsoft, IBM, Mastercard is represented in the campaign for a global digital ID system. That same lobby is active with appeals for a Corona system, tech-scientist Elizabeth Renieris wrote in What’s really at stake with vaccine passports.

With an eID, citizens can prove their ID at government offices, online, banks & their biometric data derived from facial recognition systems, iris scans (shape, colour, pattern, and texture of the eyes) and fingerprints. It's also key to the Metaverse. 

12.

"The EC aims to create a Wallet, which will be available to all EU citizens, residents & businesses usable not only for ID documents, but for all attestations, including those with sensitive personal data, such as health data-related documents."

Supporters of Digital ID refer to India. An extensive eID system was launched in 2009: Aadhaar is needed to buy a house or to access government services & already used by 1.3 billion people. It's linked to payment systems operated by Mastercard.

Digital ID will also play a key role in securing connected smart electric cars, according to Thales.

Nigeria served as proof that Digital ID documents can have major consequences. In August 2021, Reuters reported an eID has become mandatory to ‘open a bank account, apply for a driving licence, to vote and submit tax returns’.

A surveillance state is now emerging, in which everything will be stored in order to steer people in various ways, both politically and commercially. Behind the campaign for digital data collection, there is ‘a surveillance agenda which we must oppose.

 19.

And “If 9/11 brought us into an era of mass surveillance, the pandemic has the potential to bring about an ID scramble, the introduction of the era of ubiquitous identification and the end of anonymity.” - Elizabeth Renieris said.

In 2018, ID2020 described how a vaccination campaign in Bangladesh could serve as an ‘entry’ to further digitalisation. "Vaccination offers a great opportunity to give children a sustainable, portable and secure digital identity early in life."

ID2020 is the most influential digital ID advocacy group. It was founded long before the pandemic by Gavi, & other founding fathers include the philanthropic Rockefeller Foundation, the consultancy company Accenture, and tech giant Microsoft.

 22.

Eighteen months later, more than 125 companies, institutions and government organisations have joined forces to form the Good Health Pass Collaborative, which aims to create a global standard for the corona pass. ID2020 steers this group. 

23.

The Covid Pass is already leading to a mission creep: in other words, the wider introduction of a digital ID.

We encourage everyone to ask, what does it mean to digitise ID & what is a model citizen within a digital ID system? How will his citizen profile data be used?

Interesting, so if my country government takes full power someday and decide to use the police to  prosecute and kill me and other antagonists, they will be able to do it in a more streamlined way if they adopt this draconian ID, instead of political enemy lists which are not as manageable as IDs for average policemen.

The disabled are 2nd to be on the list to be put down. They would put me to death as well ... likely stone me to death in full public view.

[WinGlass]

Well they already spy us with our smartphones, and with social media (good examples are Facebook and TikTok).

[ZortMcGort11]

I predict that people will stop using the internet for social media in another 10 years. Look at Meta, that thing just crashed, and Mark Zuckerberg just lost billions. More people will come to realize it's just a cesspool for attention seeking narcissists.

More people will start buying books. Something that lasts forever and only required sunlight to read. No "Kindle", no electricity. Just eyeballs in your head. I think it will actually be more pleasurable and less stressful for people to gradually just opt out from computers in general. It was like a fad that had it's time. Physical activity will make a comeback, being a hunched over muscle-less noodle who spends all day on a computer, will automatically weed out the non-breeders who can't find a wife or girlfriend, and the people who have kids will instruct their children in more productive and rewarding activities than killing time with a "device." In simple terms, people will return to what used to be known as civilized humanity.

[D.Draker]

Wishful thinking.

[Tripredacus]

Meta failed because it is VR and VR is not mainstream. VR has many issues, making people sick is one. Another is the content is severely lacking or not any better than just being like a video game. Meta was created to be a newer type of place like ActiveWorlds which was always niche even back then. An online world like that won't be in every household until they can make it work for everyone and there is actually a reason to have/want to use it.

"All Manufactured"!

The Big Lie: Worldwide Energy Shortage Plus Multiple Crises – All Manufactured – Meant for Destruction of Western Civilization

By Peter Koenig

Energy Crisis? Food crisis? Industrial collapse? Supply chains disruptions? Fractured Communications? Cyber-attacks? Black-outs? Hyper-inflation? Climate change? Wars, civil conflicts, and more plandemics, culminating in human misery… Yes it’s all manufactured.

It’s all part of the plan to destroy civilization as we know it, to replace it with the  4thIndustrial Revolution robots and humanoids – acting on AI-generated electronic commands and surviving on programmable digital central bank currencies (CBDC).

If we keep sitting at the sideline, watching, instead of doing something to stop this insanity, this crime of biblical proportions, it indeed will happen. Humanity and what’s left of Mother Earth will be ready for the abyss.

Shortages create inflation – and if inflation doesn’t occur naturally, it is manufactured. Media propaganda talking full-time of inflation gives industrial and service conglomerates a free pass to increase prices. Nobody questions whether its justified. The media says there is inflation – so, price increases are indeed of the order.

Many of the crises are not even happening in reality; most of them just in the media. By 24/7 endless propaganda. And by Artificial Intelligence (AI)-induced appearances....
