Digital IDs offer undeniable benefits, but they come with risks that strike at the heart of conservative values: privacy, individual autonomy, and skepticism of centralized authority.
uppose for a moment that Joe Citizen and his lovely wife are rendered unconscious in an auto accident. Joe is a diabetic and suffers from hypertension, while his wife is under medication for rheumatic heart disease and is allergic to some types of antibiotics. When the EMTs arrive they scan their embedded chips, quickly ascertain their blood types, their medical history, their doctors' names, and their insurance information. Treatment begins almost immediately.
Joe is employed in a field that requires extensive travel, including overseas. His chip, no larger than a grain of rice, allows him to pay for meals in restaurants around the world, verify his identity at hotels and airports, gain access to his company's offices and innumerable other activities without coming into physical contact with cash or credit card touchpads. After dealing with the heightened health scares in the post-COVID era, he finds this reassuring.
Proponents of digital IDs and embedded microchips will frame them as modern, efficient tools that will make everyday life safer and more convenient. The potential benefits of instant identification during a health crisis and everyday convenience are undeniable, but many of us consider the risks far in excess of the gains. Convenience is a thin veneer over a deeper reality: digital IDs dramatically expand the power of the state and its ability to monitor, restrict, and control citizens. The debate is not simply about technology -- it's about the proper limits of government in a free society.
The Open Government Partnership notes that over a billion people worldwide lack formal identification, and digital systems could help them access banking, healthcare, and voting. Digital identity wallets, or apps

It has my state ID, Medicare card and my Part D card.
I also carry my passport card.
Freedom still exists somewhere, then ...
One use I would like to see implemented is having similar chips embedded deeply into the pelvic bone of every illegal alien caught and every gang member who keeps being found here after deportations.
As it is they dispose of their real IDs upon crossing an assume a made-up or stolen identity - BEFORE the lawyers and libs protect them. This inescapable means of identification can simplify law enforcement while serving as a major disincentive to crashing our border.
Barring physical disability or other reasonable inability to get to the polls, anyone too lazy to go out and vote should NOT be voting!
I have no interest in embedded chips like tracking an animal, however, we need to be honest in our assessments, ‘the mark of the beast’ in a physical sense has been here for a long time. The legal tender you need to trade in any country, the ID you have to carry to engage in many activities, buy things, sell things. Try establishing anything without a social security number in this country.
The mark, while it may be physical at some point, is a spiritual mark borne by those who worship and follow the beast.
Folks need to have their minds made up about this technology now.
The human mind panics at the point when they are forced to do this immediately (think Covid masks and the death jabs associated with it) and will more than likely “give in” and accept this monstrosity that will damn everybody to eternal hell if they take it.
I look forward to losing my head if I am not raptured before.
This decision for me is easy....
John 12:25
He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
Luke 9:24
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.
