Digital ID: Billionaires are CIRCLING your digital life - it's time to WAKE UP

Your plastic driver's license is getting a digital upgrade. Twenty states and Puerto Rico now offer some kind of digital driver’s license. The technology allows you to share a minimum level of information to prove identity by tapping your phone on a reader or scanning a QR code . Some states allow digital IDs and drivers licenses to be added directly into your mobile wallet. Others offer a state-backed mobile app. But privacy experts have concerns around digital security and government data collection, warning that frictionless identification could lead to things like increased surveillance pricing. PBS News’ Tim McPhillips spoke...

Sir Keir Starmer announced in September that all UK citizens are to have mandatory ID to prove their right to live and work in the country. People in India, who have had digital IDs for years, tell Sky's Sam Coates how they work their country.

China is so CASHLESS that even beggars use WeChat QR code when they beg for money.

People in China pay using their hand — but how? All you have to do is hover your hand over the POS terminal, which uses infrared cameras to scan your palm. Beforehand, you have to use a device that registers your palm print and vein pattern and connects it to your bank card.

We don't want anything like this in the UK

On January 9, 2026, Mexico enacted a new law requiring all cell phone numbers to be verifiably associated with an individual. Any cell phone number not associated with a person and their government-issued ID by June 30, 2026, will be suspended until/unless the number is registered by a verified user. If you have an active Mexican cell phone number: Whether you are situated in Mexico or abroad (or travel between countries); and Whether that number is active with a physical SIM card or a virtual eSIM; and Whether you are on a contract or a prepay phone plan; and You...

What started out as a plan for a common market evolved has matured into a central planner’s paradise with all the associated problems that once gripped the Soviet Union. The European Union is essentially the project of a bureaucratic elite, and is undemocratic at its core. It was designed, from its inception, to wrest power from the democratic institutions of individual European members and vest it within the EU bureaucracy. In recent decades, it has taken on a hideous form with the embrace of climate eschatology and destruction of industry in the name of net-zero. Even worse, it has promoted...

Say "NO!" to a Global Digital ID

One of the European Central Bank’s most complex and controversial projects is heading for a crucial test in the first half of 2026, when the European parliament is expected to vote on the digital euro. The plan cleared a key hurdle in late December, when the European Council backed the ECB’s plan to launch an electronic equivalent to cash: a digital currency that works in stores, online and in peer-to-peer transactions. One of the European Central Bank’s most complex and controversial projects is heading for a crucial test in the first half of 2026, when the European parliament is expected...

Cash is dead. Speech is scored. Freedom is conditional.. ... Mark Carney didn’t rise through politics. He was not elected. He was installed — by the very institutions that profit most from technocratic control and public obedience. Goldman Sachs. The Bank of Canada. The Bank of England. The Financial Stability Board. The World Economic Forum. Bilderberg. The Trilateral Commission. The Council for Inclusive Capitalism. This is a man who has spent his entire adult life inside the machinery of global finance and elite governance. Now, he’s running a country. Carney is no fool. He speaks in the hushed tones of...

“He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads” (Revelation 13:16). These words written 2,000 years ago depict a future global system that controls who can buy or sell (Revelation 13:17). I’m coming at this from a Pre-Trib Rapture view and hold to the view that believers will be raptured before this Beast system fully manifests, yet we already see its technological groundwork emerging. In this article, we explore how astonishingly close modern technology is to enabling the kind of total surveillance and control...
