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.

A couple was left bewildered after they discovered how some shops in China are taking payment.

This election confirms what we already know—American universities have become Marxist indoctrination centers. The low income people in New York City voted en masse AGAINST the guy who promised to create government-run grocery stores and “freeze” the rent. This should tell you EVERYTHING. American universities have systematically destroyed the minds of Americans.

Imposing mandatory digital identification on every nation on the entire planet has become a primary goal for the global elite. It isn’t going to happen tomorrow, but eventually the plan is to get virtually everyone in the world into the system. If the global elite get their way, a time will come when you will not be able to buy or sell anything on the Internet without logging in with your UN-mandated digital identity chip. You won’t be able to go to school, get a job or open a bank account without your UN-mandated digital identity chip either. In essence,...

In the late 1800s and early 1900s the western world experienced a sudden burst of open occultism among the ultra-rich elites. The rise of “Theosophy” was underway, becoming a kind of fashion trend that would ultimately set the stage for what would later be called “new age” spiritualism. The primary driver of the theosophical movement was a small group of obscure academics led in part by a woman named H.P. Blavatsky. The group was obsessed with esoteric belief, Gnosticism and even Satanism. Blavatsky co-founded the Theosophical Society in New York in 1875, claiming that she had a psychic connection to...

On November 8th 2023, a virtual launch event took place for what was termed the “50-in-5” agenda. The United Nations, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and partners of the Rockefeller Foundation are launching a campaign to accelerate digital ID, digital payments, and data-sharing rollouts in 50 countries under the umbrella of digital public infrastructure (DPI) by 2028.

Several cities in Italy, including Rome and Bologna, will enact a digital plan this fall that rewards its citizen’s behaviors that comply with the UN 2030 Agenda. The cities are doing this by launching an app called “Smart Citizen Wallet.” Citizens who separate their garbage for recycling, use public transportation, or behave in ways that comply with the climate change agenda will be rewarded with discounts through the app. Some of the more worrying items on the UN 2030 agenda include increasing taxation, encouraging open border migration, and empowering the IMF to access personal financial information. Critics of the technology...

Patrick Paumen causes a stir whenever he pays for something in a shop or restaurant. This is because the 37-year-old doesn't need to use a bank card or his mobile phone to pay. Instead, he simply places his left hand near the contactless card reader, and the payment goes through. "The reactions I get from cashiers are priceless!" says Mr Paumen, a security guard from the Netherlands. He is able to pay using his hand because back in 2019 he had a contactless payment microchip injected under his skin. "The procedure hurts as much as when someone pinches your skin,"...

ESG stands for “Environmental, Social, Corporate Governance” and has been likened to a globalized Social Credit Scoring system for business. If you have a high ESG score, it will be easy to qualify for credit, to get the best deals with vendors and to participate in the global supply chain.Alas, if you don’t have a high ESG score, you won’t be in business long unless you change your behavior and knuckle under to its demands.So, how is ESG determined and who sets the rules and guidelines?First, ESG has nothing to do with the physical aspects of a company, like capital,...

Last week, the world glimpsed a future in which vaccine passports are implanted under the skin. A viral video from South China Morning Post profiled a Swedish start-up hub, Epicenter, that injects its employees with microchips. “Right now it is very convenient to have a COVID passport always accessible on your implant,” its chief disruption officer, Hannes Sjöblad, told the interviewer. Oddly enough, he repeatedly spoke of chipping “arms” when we clearly see a woman opening doors with her hand. Two years earlier, Sjöblad told ITV, “I want us humans to open up and improve our sensory universe, our cognitive...

Looking for feedback on what is this incessant motivation to vaccinate everyone including children with experimental treatments. Close to 90% of those most vulnerable to CV-19 have been 'vaccinated'. Some possibilities: 1) Control - many progressive leaders get temporary satisfaction in edicts that their 'subjects' follow. 2) Profit - not much needs to be said, but many people are gaining wealth via vaccines 3) Depopulation - an interesting idea given many advocates of the vaccines have been promoting depopulation. Though one could argue if only - say 30% of the population dropped from vaccines - then 90% would be dead...

In the state of Victoria, Australia, Premier Daniel Andrews again affirmed his intent to keep all unvaccinated citizens isolated, marginalized and locked out of the economy deep into 2022. Simultaneously, Andrews warns the vaccinated citizens that if they attempt to avoid any booster shots, as determined by the state, the vaccinated will join the unvaccinated group in being locked down.Perhaps this threat will alarm the citizens that have been vaccinated. Just because they are compliant today, if the vaccinated class attempt to defy the government boosters 3, 4, 5, 6,… etc, they will be cast back into the second class...
