Totalitarianism is growing at a terrifying speed in what was once considered the free world. "Digital identification" (digital ID) is now being pushed by world leaders, the World Economic Forum, and the tech billionaire set.
Although this rollout has the potential to affect negatively everyone on the planet, the media, instead of reporting it, seems happy distracting the public with a Gaza obsession; unserious culture wars over wokeness, transgenderism, "climate change" and so on.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, apparently attempting to impersonate a Soviet dictator, appears to be forcing mandatory digital ID on the population, despite huge opposition to the issue.
"You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital ID," Starmer said on September 26 at the Global Progress Action Summit. In other words, if you refuse to obey, there will be nothing for you but poverty and unemployment.
As a pretext for introducing digital ID, Starmer -- who apparently could not care less that thousands of migrants from North Africa and the Middle East, both legal and illegal, continue to pour into the UK -- gaslights the public that this totalitarian measure is somehow needed to stop illegal migration. Remember when the world used to have closed borders everywhere -- until the globalists opened them up? US President Donald J. Trump seems to have pretty much closed US borders without the need for a digital anything.
Bizarrely, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair -- the globalist who launched the floods of migrants into the UK and solidified the idea of a "multicultural state" – has been endlessly advocating for digital ID. He is claiming that the UK "desperately" needs it. For what?
While the European Union has been rolling out digital ID for all member states, citizens have not been asked if they consent to such a measure.
Thierry Breton, then European Commissioner for the Internal Market, said in 2024:
"The EU Digital Identity Wallet will revolutionise the way European citizens and businesses engage with online services by seamlessly integrating convenience, safety and privacy. By providing a transparent and secure framework, this innovative solution ensures that our personal data remains safeguarded as we navigate the digital world."
Europeans are being controlled "for their own good," of course. The bureaucrats are only removing their privacy and freedom as a "safeguard."
In possibly the most inverting, gaslighting sentence you could imagine, the EU markets digital ID by stating: "Your personal data tells your life's story: you should be the one to control it."
Digital IDs may not (yet) be forced upon Americans, but, according to author and journalist Michael Shellenberger, the same extreme sentiments are being thrown about by influential people in the US who are financing the push for digital ID: Larry Ellison and Bill Gates.
"It is Americans, including Bill Gates and the controlling owner of Oracle, Larry Ellison, who are financing the digital ID push." Shellenberger writes. Larry Ellison is the second-richest person in the world and one of Tony Blair's biggest financial backers. Ellison has said things that make it distressingly transparent that the actual goal of digital ID is total control: In a conversation with Blair at the World Governments Summit in February, Ellison stated that all population data must be "unified":
"The NHS [National Health Service] in the UK has an incredible amount of population data but it's fragmented. It's not easily accessible by these AI models. We have to take all of this data we have in our country and move it into a single, if you will, unified, data platform."
That data, in conjunction with a vast network of interconnected cameras, will apparently be used by AI to constantly surveil the populace, Ellison, whose business, Oracle, is an AI database cloud computing company, explained last year: "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on," he said. What could be wrong with that?
If all this sounds familiar, it is: It is the Chinese social credit system. Under it, cities have an AI-surveillance-driven "City Brain" to closely monitor residents in real time through hundreds of millions of cameras. Such a system, sort of a Big Brother on steroids, obviously, will efficiently eliminate all semblance of privacy and any sort of freedom, as it tracks your movements down to the minutest detail, so you have nothing to worry about!
These unelected billionaires -- set to make billions more from the totalitarian plans that they are pushing -- are meanwhile being hosted at international governance conferences, and setting the agendas for how to best override our basic human rights. Millions of people across the world have been brainwashed and manipulated into marching for a non-existent "Palestine" while virtually nothing is heard about the magnificent totalitarian future our billionaire overlords are cooking up.
In Communist China, in fact, they just upgraded their urban dystopia to "City Brain 3.0": "With City Brain 3.0, Hangzhou is pioneering AI-driven governance, making city management smarter, safer and more efficient, setting a model for other global smart cities." [Emphasis added.]
Smart cities are a Chinese Communist Paty idea, established in China by the regime in its 12th Five-Year Plan, issued in 2011. The UN evidently wants all cities to become smart cities:
"The concept of 'smart cities', which can help stimulate inclusive growth, promote social inclusion, decrease traffic congestion, combat crimes, improve resilience during natural disasters and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, has a potential as a solution to urban problems both in developing and developed countries."
The World Economic Forum, despite being elected by nobody, leads the G20 Global Smart Cities Alliance, which it describes as follows:
"Representing more than 200,000 cities and local governments, companies, start-ups, research institutions and non-profit organizations, the Alliance is leading numerous initiatives in more than 36 pioneer cities around the world focusing on smart city governance through mobility, administration, infrastructure, energy, as well as cultural and creative industries."
Welcome to the global "City Brain" -- your very own warm, loving "protector."
