Over time, this digital identity is being progressively defined and is replacing your actual physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual identity. What you are allowed to do, and not do, will increasingly depend on your technological identity rather than your moral character, intellectual and\/or physical abilities, your emotional suitability, religious beliefs and the many other attributes that define your unique personality.<\/p>\n<p>Starting with your birth certificate, which identifies your name, birth date and birth location, as well as parenting, an endless series of details about your personal life has been accumulated and stored, sometimes with your knowledge and consent. Far more often it has been done without either.<\/p>\n<p>Do you remember having your photo taken for a student and\/or employee identity card, your vehicle license and\/or a passport? Do you remember being finger and\/or palm-printed, submitting to an iris scan, agreeing to a recording of your voice, offering data for \u2018two-factor\u2019 authentication, and requesting an ancestry search by submitting a sample of your DNA? Most often you had no choice: It was \u2018legally required\u2019. Other times, you were probably offered something in return, such as admission to an educational institution, \u2018secure\u2019 access to an account or information you wanted. But whatever other price you paid, you also paid an \u2018identity cost\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, none of that information has ceased to exist and there is a lot more interest in it now than there was when you, or someone, innocently agreed to tender it all those years ago. And it is being added to all of the time with information you have surrendered or that has been obtained about you, up until this morning. In addition, it will be added to by information gathered about you tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Your bank account(s), academic and employment records, health records (including vaccination record), legal record (including traffic violations), internet search history, and any other information compiled by or submitted to a government authority, corporation or other entity has been recorded, compiled and systematically stored in data banks of which you have never even heard. And they are being used to generate your \u2018social credit score\u2019 which, depending on the country in which you live, is already or will be soon, used to determine what you can, and cannot, do.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, facial recognition technology is vastly expanding the capacity of the surveillance state, and those corporations and entities that work with it, to identify and track you. And it is doing this already in the most obvious places such as on the street and in shopping centres. See, for example, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/reclaimthenet.org\/microsoft-partners-with-banks-to-introduce-facial-recognition\/\" >\u2018Microsoft partners with banks to introduce facial recognition: More invasive technology\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, an apparently desirable application is used as a trojan horse to have it introduced even more widely.

Think you voice is unique? Not once they clone it so they can present some technological imitation as your voice. See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.respeecher.com\/\" >\u2018Voice Cloning for Content Creators\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And you are no doubt well aware of simple ways that photos of you can be replicated. Or altered by \u2018photoshopping\u2019, to put you in an entirely different context or location.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does this matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This has all been done, fundamentally, so that one day soon now you can be locked in the technological prison that is being created around you. This technological prison, being promoted under the guise of \u2018smart cities\u2019, is being built around you as cities are converted to \u2018smart\u2019 by installing 5G and the other technologies necessary for comprehensive surveillance and control. But the Saudis are building a \u2018smart city\u2019 in the desert too.

And you won\u2019t be able to do anything else. This is usually called \u2018slavery\u2019 except that, in this new technological world, virtually all of the slaves will be transhuman with no independent will of their own.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How has this happened?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In a report published by the World Economic Forum in 2016, the authors wrote \u2018Consistent with the World Economic Forum\u2019s mission of applying a multi\u2010stakeholder approach to address issues of global impact, the creation of this report involved extensive outreach and dialogue with the financial services community, innovation community, technology community, academia and the public sector\u2026. The mandate of this project was to explore digital identity and understand the role that Financial Institutions should play in building a global standard for digital identity. Identity is a critical topic in Financial Services today. Current identity systems are limiting Fintech innovation (as) well as secure and efficient service delivery in Financial Services and society more broadly. Digital identity is widely recognized as the next step in identity systems. However, while many efforts are underway to solve parts of the identity challenge and create true digital identity, there is a need for a concerted and coordinated effort to build a truly transformational digital identity system.\u2019 See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www3.weforum.org\/docs\/WEF_A_Blueprint_for_Digital_Identity.pdf\" >\u2018A Blueprint for Digital I<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www3.weforum.org\/docs\/WEF_A_Blueprint_for_Digital_Identity.pdf\" >dentity: The Role of Financial Institutions in Building Digital Identity\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>By 2018, another report by the World Economic Forum was proclaiming \u2018Our identity is, literally, who we are, and as the digital technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution advance, our identity is increasingly digital. This digital identity determines what products, services and information we can access \u2013 <strong>or, conversely, what is closed off to us<\/strong>.\u2019 See \u2018<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www3.weforum.org\/docs\/WEF_INSIGHT_REPORT_Digital%20Identity.pdf\" >Identity in a Digital World: A new chapter in the social contract\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But one primary motivation for their interest in digital identity was reported in a World Economic Forum article in August 2022. Citing research conducted by the consultancy Cebr \u2013 see <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/programs.callsign.com\/hubfs\/digital-trust-index\/Callsign%20\u2013%20The%20digital%20trust%20index.pdf\" >\u2018The digital trust index\u2019<\/a> \u2013 the World Economic Forum noted that \u2018our global digital economy can unleash trillions of dollars of opportunities. But if we don\u2019t know for certain who we are interacting with online, we cannot have trust. Digital identity must therefore be the foundational element to our digital economy\u2026.\u2019 Moreover, according to the WEF: \u2018Consumers also told us they would trust banks and financial services firms the most to create and maintain an identity system.\u2019 See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2022\/08\/digital-trust-how-to-unleash-the-trillion-dollar-opportunity-for-our-global-economy\/\" >\u2018Digital trust: How to unleash the trillion-dollar opportunity for our global economy\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the World Economic Forum is not the only institution planning our digital identity prison. In a 2019 report, the United Nations stated \u2018We recommend that by 2030, every adult should have affordable access to digital networks, as well as digitally-enabled financial and health services, as a means to make a substantial contribution to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.\u2019 See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/pdfs\/DigitalCooperation-report-for%20web.pdf\" >\u2018The Age of Digital Interdependence\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, that long-standing bastion of economic exploitation known as the World Bank has had a long-running involvement in digitizing identity, publishing a report on the subject in 2017 which was updated in 2021 and, unsurprisingly, linked to its notion of \u2018sustainable development\u2019: \u2018Every person has the right to participate fully in their society and economy and to be recognized as a person before the law. Yet, as many as 1 billion people across the world do not have basic proof of identity, which is essential for protecting their rights and enabling access to services and opportunities.\u2019 See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/documents1.worldbank.org\/curated\/en\/213581486378184357\/pdf\/Principles-on-Identification-for-Sustainable-Development-Toward-the-Digital-Age.pdf\" >\u2018Principles on Identification for Sustainable Development: Toward the Digital Age\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This report goes on to outline a set of ten principles \u2013 universal access, accuracy, security, privacy&#8230; \u2013 to guide the nature of digital identity, in various categories, that sound wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>But fundamental issues are left unaddressed.<\/p>\n<p>Why the rights to participation in society and the economy, and recognition before the law, suddenly requires \u2018basic proof of identity\u2019 and is \u2018essential for protecting their rights and enabling access to services and opportunities\u2019 is not explained. Nor is it explained why those same rights enshrined in the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/about-us\/universal-declaration-of-human-rights\" >Universal Declaration of Human Rights<\/a> in 1948 \u2013 on which the world has so spectacularly failed to deliver since that time (and particularly for those billions of people marginalized by the global capitalist economy) \u2013 will now be magically delivered by a digitized identity.<\/p>\n<p>As is often the case, the delusional rhetoric sounds good despite being a vast distance from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>But the World Bank continues its rhetoric in a more recent report: \u2018Vulnerable and marginalized groups are often the least likely to have proof of their identity, but also the most in need of the protection and services linked to identification.\u2019 See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/documents1.worldbank.org\/curated\/en\/213581486378184357\/pdf\/Principles-on-Identification-for-Sustainable-Development-Toward-the-Digital-Age.pdf\" >\u2018Principles on Identification for Sustainable Development: Toward the Digital Age\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, according to the World Bank, experience has supposedly \u2018shown that there are key actions countries can take to unlock their own paradigm shift towards building digital ID and G2P [government-to-person] payments ecosystems that empower people and support sustainable development outcomes\u2019. See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/documents1.worldbank.org\/curated\/en\/436051643089705385\/pdf\/Identification-for-Development-ID4D-and-Digitalizing-G2P-Payments-G2Px-2021-Annual-Report.pdf\" >\u2018Identification for Development (ID4D) and Digitalizing G2P Payments (G2Px) Annual Report 2021\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Really? How does this happen?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the documents go on to outline why identity is important to access certain rights and services \u2013 banking, voting, owning property, particular transactions&#8230; \u2013 but do not specify why <em>a digital version of identity<\/em> is necessary. A sleight of hand made necessary by the complete absence of any genuine reason for moving beyond long-accepted means of establishing identity, where they are appropriately useful.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond international organizations such as these, major Non-Government Organizations including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Rockefeller Foundation, as well as corporations, are predictably behind the moves to digitize identity for reasons explained in the ID2020 Manifesto. For example, as Peggy Johnson of Microsoft Corporation noted: \u2018\u2026 it\u2019s exciting to imagine a world where safe and secure digital identities are possible, providing everyone with an essential building block to every right and opportunity they deserve.\u2019 See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/id2020.org\/\" >\u2018ID2020\u2019<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/id2020.org\/manifesto\" >\u2018ID2020 Manifesto\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Again, why rights and opportunities, theoretically long-ago enshrined in a multitude of human rights laws, should now somehow be accessed through a digitized identity is, obviously, not explained.<\/p>\n<p>With such a predatory list of sponsors \u2013 the World Economic Forum, World Bank, United Nations, major corporations, particular NGOs \u2013 clearly endorsing digital identity and the complete absence from any consultation process of those of us who might identify (not digitally, of course) as \u2018ordinary\u2019 people, it is obvious why those who understand the rapidly advancing technocratic agenda have issued a multitude of warnings about participating in the ongoing efforts to digitize your identity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What, precisely, is at stake?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your identity itself. Your freedom. Your privacy. Your human rights generally, including the right to choose what you eat and how you obtain it. And everything else that matters to you. Gone forever, if this global push is successful.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain this in a little more detail.<\/p>\n<p>All over the world, countries have been implementing processes to digitize the identities of their citizens. Here, for example, are progress reports on what is happening in Nigeria and Greece: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/reclaimthenet.org\/nigeria-will-be-a-testing-ground-for-microsofts-digital-id-tech\/\" >\u2018Nigeria will be a testing ground for Microsoft\u2019s digital ID tech\u2019<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/greekcitytimes.com\/2022\/07\/28\/greece-digital-wallet-driving-license\/\" >\u2018Greece rolls out digital \u201cwallet\u201d for citizens; ID and driving license now on phone\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond this, did you know that people in Australia started getting microchipped in 2016? See <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au\/blog\/australia-has-started-microchipping-people\/\" >\u2018Australia Has Started Microchipping People\u2019<\/a> and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/newspunch.com\/australia-microchips-population\/\" >\u2018Australia Becomes World\u2019s Most Microchipped Nation\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But other countries, like Sweden, are not far behind.

Beyond this, of course, what else will the chip be used to control? Do you know? Watch <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/victoriantimes.com.au\/australias-banks-want-you-microchipped\/\" >\u2018Australia\u2019s banks want you MICROCHIPPED!\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And what if, as planned, your identity chip is linked to your driver\u2019s licence and your car? How far do you think you will be able to travel from home? To go shopping for food? To travel to work? Will you be allowed to go on holiday?<\/p>\n<p>Beyond these simple examples, what if your digital identity is linked to your health records (including vaccination status), your legal records, and anything else they decide to add \u2013 such as carbon credits \u2013 so that you can be given a \u2018social credit score\u2019? Perhaps you will be deemed unsuitable to be a parent and have your children taken away.<\/p>\n<p>But the answers to these questions, as well as others, are already known and you can watch a fuller explanation of just how securely you are already locked in this digital ID prison in this video presentation by technology expert Aman Jabbi \u2013 see <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/odysee.com\/@yabba:e\/Digital-ID-or-Digital-Prison-:1\" >\u2018Facial Recognition: Digital ID or Digital Dictatorship?\u2019<\/a> \u2013 who spells it out in gruesome detail.<\/p>\n<p>By the end of 2022, there will be more than twenty billion data collection (not just simple surveillance) cameras (of many types) in the world keeping track of the nearly eight billion people on Earth. As Jabbi observes: Under the guise of privacy, security and convenience, \u2018We are being monitored everywhere and all the time\u2019 by the \u2018Internet of Eyes and Ears\u2019 linked to artificial intelligence and a vast array of technological devices, such as smart street poles and lights which gather data via facial recognition cameras and environmental sensors, display digital signage, use speakers to instruct the immediate population how to behave, include \u2018drone charging stations\u2019 because drones \u2018are going to be the new aerial police\u2019 with everything wirelessly connected to each other and the Internet of Things (IoT). This comprehensive network will be used to collect your data and control your behaviour, including by use of LED (light-emitting diode) incapacitators (which Jabbi calls \u2018puke guns\u2019) which emit high-intensity beams of different frequencies that can make you vomit or inflict other forms of behavioural control. In short, behavioural compliance will be enforced not by human guards, but by artificial intelligence and electromagnetic weapons.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>The digital identity they say is a new chapter in the social contract. It&#8217;s a social contract that nobody signed up for and nobody wants. But they are&#8230; going to force this on us.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Every entity, person, device and thing is going to have a digital identity and once you sign on to a digital identity, the only way you can access healthcare or your bank finances, ability to travel, ability to access the internet, to go to social platforms or do anything in your life, to buy food, you need a digital identity. And how will that digital identity be authenticated? Through your face. So your face is the key to unlocking access to life.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>And this key is going to be linked to a new type of financial system which is going to be a combination of carbon credits, your social credits or social score&#8230; \u2018reputation capital\u2019, and then of course your status with respect to vaccines and boosters&#8230;. And if you don\u2019t have enough carbon score and you don\u2019t have enough social score or you haven\u2019t taken your latest booster, your face will not be able to unlock your digital identity and therefore you cannot access stuff.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>You&#8217;ll be locked out of the whole new matrix system. And this is what they call central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)&#8230;.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>This is essentially the key to understanding what sort of a new world that is going to be upon us once the final switches are turned on&#8230;.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Your digital identity is really a digital prison and your face is used to unlock the digital prison if you behave well&#8230;.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>And how are they going to implement this? There is a new protocol called \u2018Zero Trust in Cyber Security\u2019&#8230; so by default we are going from a world of implicit \u2018allow\u2019 to default \u2018deny\u2019.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>So as an example, when you log into your computer you type in a password&#8230; and you have access to your browser, your files, your applications but now this zero trust is about \u2018default deny\u2019 which means \u2018we don\u2019t trust you and for everything you need to do you\u2019ll be denied initially until you can prove that you\u2019re trustworthy\u2019 and that trust will come from face recognition and from digital identity.<\/em><\/strong> (If you want to read more about \u2018digital trust\u2019, here is the Callsign report: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/programs.callsign.com\/hubfs\/digital-trust-index\/Callsign%20\u2013%20The%20digital%20trust%20index.pdf\" ><em>\u2018The digital trust index\u2019<\/em><\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the above, by using \u2018geofencing\u2019 (both digitally and geographically), your access to everything, including who you can contact, how you can travel and how far, what media you can access or book you can read&#8230; can be controlled through your digital identity. \u2018So the goal is to lockdown humanity in these smart cities and not allow them to move anywhere\u2026. So the digital identity is inside the Trojan horse of security and privacy. I can\u2019t stress this enough\u2026. And this will result in total control of humans because people will comply in order to unlock access to life.\u2019 In addition, \u2018they can even be monitoring the emotional state of a child and the algorithms can decide whether child abuse is happening at home and then they can come for the children, which they will.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Jabbi also points out that in late April 2022, the World Economic Forum and the United Nations took over the internet which means that, soon enough, \u2018If you don\u2019t accept a digital ID, you cannot get onto the internet and you cannot open your phone\u2019. And he emphasizes that \u2018Banning facial recognition means nothing because neither your government, nor your state or local officials are doing facial recognition so banning it is pointless because facial recognition is going to be done in the cloud on Amazon and Google servers with artificial intelligence algorithms, with cameras installed by private companies on public lands which are now owned by private corporations.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Apart from Aman Jabbi, other scholars have also thoughtfully researched what is happening regarding digital identity and how it relates to other features of the overall elite plan.<\/p>\n<p>After exhaustive research leading to their extensive report <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrgj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Report_Paving-a-Digital-Road-to-Hell.pdf\" >\u2018<\/a><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/chrgj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Report_Paving-a-Digital-Road-to-Hell.pdf\" >Paving a Digital Road to Hell? A Primer on the Role of the World Bank and Global Networks in Promoting Digital ID\u2019<\/a>, scholars at the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice at the New York University School of Law concluded as follows in relation to digital ID:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>As outlined in this primer, and as many of our partners and colleagues have documented, the World Bank and a wider network of global actors are promoting a specific model of digital ID. This model privileges economic identity, is disconnected from legal status, and steers attention away from civil registration. Contrary to the human rights and inclusive development language used to promote this vision of digital ID, this model threatens a range of fundamental rights, from the right to social security to the right to privacy. The purported benefits remain mostly unsubstantiated in the absence of serious baseline studies, cost-benefit and value for money analyses, and impact assessments. Meanwhile, researching and revealing the impacts of these systems has mostly been outsourced to an already overburdened and under-resourced community of human rights organizations, advocates, scholars, journalists, and other civil society actors.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The report includes three recommendations for addressing concerns about digital ID, given the transformational nature of the change intended: 1. detailed investigation and research, consideration (particularly of possible harms and their mitigation), cost-benefit analysis and impact assessments; 2. thorough discussion in democratic fora based on detailed knowledge of plans, actors involved in the scheme and roles played by foreign governments and international organizations; and 3. engagement of all stakeholders, including us, not just \u2018technical experts\u2019 in the deliberations.<\/p>\n<p>Researcher Lynn Corey has also written an insightful four-part series of reports which are published on her website and as a book.

Despite all the positive propaganda in its favor, Aadhaar has had a disastrous impact.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite the solidly documented negative experiences in relation to digitized identity and the many expert warnings against it, a range of powerful elite agents has a comprehensive program to impose this technocratic nightmare upon us.
