Very few things in life scare me: I find the prospect of our people sleepwalking into a Digital ID system utterly terrifying (regardless of whether it’s state or corporate controlled).
If you pair this Digital ID, with the Online Safety Act (new powers that have already been rushed into place in the UK), a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC’s are very much in development and are already in effect in some places), and a Social Credit Score system in the near future (again, some countries are already grading their citizens); you are giving away your rights and the freedom to be able to meaningfully disagree with your government on any topic ever again (and also to every other even more nightmarish government that may enjoy having these powers in the future). If at some point you also add an ‘unrealised gains tax’ (that wipes out any form of property you own), a bank bail-in (that wipes out your savings like Cyprus or Lebanon did) or an exit-tax for the UK; then at this point most people won’t feasibly be able to leave even if they eventually decide that they want to. A modern-day mass form of subtle slavery, from a series of small changes that sound so harmless.
Think this all sounds kooky? Just take a look around our current world and its history books. Then take a look at manifestos from influential groups like the World Economic Forum (WEF) - who suggest that: “you will own nothing and you will be happy”. Notice how it’s not: “we will all own nothing and we will all be happy”.
People are distracted and caught up in polarised in-fighting, pointing to each other and pointing to symptoms of the problem; this party/that party, housing, immigration, crime, healthcare, inflation, yet another boogyman; when as usual the root causes are generally to be found much further upstream and effect all of these things.
Call it whatever you want; money printing, coin clipping, quantitive easing, diluting purchasing power, expansion of the monetary supply, counterfeiting. Every time in history that elites have figured out a new way to break the technology that we use to store and exchange energy/value with each other (also known as money); basic living becomes increasingly unaffordable to the average person, and society begins to break down. Our time is sadly no different. This time it started to break preceding WW1 with the Bank of England and with the creation of the Federal Reserve in America. It accelerated in 1971 when Nixon ‘temporarily’ and permanently de-coupled the world reserve currency (the dollar) from the gold standard (sound-money that is difficult to counterfeit). And then every time afterwards when there was another ‘big print’ enabled by these previous changes (such as 2008, 2020…).
If you want a simple illustration of what happened and how it affects you; then just look at a graph comparing the average house price, to the average wage over the last 100yrs. No prizes for guessing that asset prices have skyrocketed away from wages to unaffordable levels for the average person, especially after 1971.
We have significant issues to solve in the UK; Digital ID isn’t a solution to any problem that you or I are experiencing in our lives. It’s a transfer of what little independence, power and freedom we all have left; handing it directly to the exact same various elites that figured out how to break our money again.
If a small group of humans can expand the monetary supply and create for free the things that most humans have to work tirelessly for to acquire; then the ‘money’ that you hold will rapidly loose its purchasing power and will afford you less goods, services and quality over time. Those closest to the money printing will benefit disproportionately from it (funnelling those counterfeit monetary units into any thing, cause or atrocity that they want). And if we let it happen, once again society will continue to fray and crumble as it has before. History often rhymes, even if it doesn’t exactly repeat.
Follow the money. Stay curious, stay grounded and openly question those that attempt to rapidly force change (I don’t know about you, but I don’t remember voting for this).
I choose: freedom, integrity, fairness, kindness, compassion, love. And no, no Digital ID here thank you; regardless of what utter nonsense they try and pin it to:
