Latest / The Aaron Day Show / S2E34 Digital ID Exposed 17 Countries in 90 Days
Transcript
- Welcome back to the Aaron Day Show. This is season two, episode thirty-four. We have a very packed show tonight. There have been so many developments going on. the digital id space globally that i wanted to do a deep dive just on this topic i know obviously my area of particular focus is cbdc's but it's all interrelated it's all one technocracy and this is an area where things are moving at an alarming pace so i wanted to give an update on everything that's going on globally and then take a step back and just talk about generally what's going on with digital ids and how it fits into technocracy more broadly. So quite a bit to discuss on that front. Just taking a step back and looking at the last couple of episodes, I had a great episode last week called The Technocrats Are Hijacking Maha, which may sound a little bit incendiary, but I think it's not the case. I encourage you to watch this episode and share it with all of your friends in the medical freedom community, because essentially what's happened is is we have gone from yes we're fighting covet and we're having some success winding some of the mandates to a certain degree but at the same time while that's going on the administration is pushing ai and wearables which is actually worse from the standpoint of surveillance there's nothing medical freedom about either wearable mandates or what's going on with Palantir and other organizations and Oracle building health databases. Trump announced that, you know, they're building a genetic database of children with cancer. I mean, literally it's the exact opposite. Trump also announced that they'll be selling prescription drugs directly through a direct to consumer website, cut a seventy year deal, excuse me, a seventy billion dollar deal with Pfizer. So on the whole, I would argue medical freedom is losing substantially. And part of the problem is that I think the Maha movement has been hijacked. The hope of the Maha movement has been hijacked because the medical freedom community, in my experience in being an activist, is the most diehard community out there of activists. And right now they've put all their hope in either politics or in one one person in the form of Bobby Kennedy. And it doesn't matter how great Bobby Kennedy may or may not be. This is not the path forward to to medical freedom. And so please watch that episode. Please share that episode. And I hope to be talking more about that. I will be talking more about that at the next technocracy roundtable on October the twenty second. I'll have more on that in a bit. The episode before that was on Trump's sovereign fund exposed. This is a very important issue in this general theme of tracking Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance, Peter Thiel, and what's actually going on within the administration, what's driving the administration, which also includes Elon Musk and the dark MAGA movement. essentially what i'm putting forward is that i mean he's explicit about it there's an active movement to consolidate power in the executive branch almost giving it monarchical power and many feel that this is a good thing because clearly you know the us is off the rails and we have administrative states and deep state and everything else which is true all of that is true but i think most of the people are that i know that support this are coming at it from the standpoint of well yes we need to enhance executive powers to fix some of these things so that we can restore the constitution and as i've outlined in the last several episodes and we'll continue to uh moving forward that's actually not what's going on this was this was actually five d chess from peop from the you know paypal mafia and people like peter thiel The monarchy is the interim state to rolling out a technocracy. And so one of the keys to this, if you were going to give the executive branch more power, one of the things you'd give them the ability to do is have a sovereign wealth fund with very little oversight. And so we're already seeing that, for instance, the US now owns ten percent of Intel. We own lithium parts of Lithium Americas and a whole variety of other things. And this is continuing. Trump put out an executive order calling for a sovereign wealth fund. And so, again, if you were really pushing for a monarchy, giving a strong executive control over the nation's wealth and investments would be one of the critical ways you would go about doing that. Sovereign wealth funds control about twelve trillion dollars worth of assets globally, which is seven percent of the world's assets. So this is a major theme and something that most people aren't aware of. So I highly encourage you to check that out. I also encourage you to check out the TheAaronDayShow.com website. You'll notice I've updated the branding and quite a bit going on on that front, which I'll talk about shortly. The live stream should be working. Maybe it's not. I'm trying to get this going on the back end. If not, let me see. Anyway, hopefully it will be going. If not, certainly we're obviously live streaming right now. And then the episodes will be saved through IPFS. So they will be censorship resistant long term, even if the live stream isn't functioning today. Also, I want to point out that we've relaunched the Daylight Freedom website. And the Daylight Freedom website is basically a container for all of the other projects that we're working on and links to all of the other sites. So Freedom Forge, TheAaronDayShow.com. So this is the one place to go if you want to see all of the projects and everything that Eileen and I are working on. in regards to warning people about technocracy and also helping people build parallel solutions on the events front we have the brownstone fifth annual conference and gala coming up at the end of this month i really encourage you to check that out i'm going to be on a panel with ed dowd and one of the other brownstone fellows so it's the only economics focused panel but that should be exciting and i encourage you to check out the the speaker list these are always some of the best events out there So if you're new to The Aaron Day Show, the entire thrust of the content here and everything that we're focused on is what I see as the big war, which is technocracy versus freedom. And technocracy is essentially a system of governance where you have elites picking scientists and engineers to make decisions for people. So in essence, there's a system that started in the nineteen thirties and nineteen thirty two. So this is it's not just a general word like technology or it's not a word that means making things more efficient through technology. It's an actual ideologies. It's a very much an authoritarian ideology. regime that actually at its core changes the entire economy to going from a price-based system based on supply and demand to an energy credit-based system. So you would have a digital currency that's essentially carbon credits. And then within that, you would have social credit system and ai surveillance on top of that and so to me this is a battle of for free will itself because if you're in a position where you can't make decisions about your life because they're being determined for you by either scientists and engineers or now the trend is to move towards having ai make those decisions through artificial general intelligence. So this is the real battle that's going on. And within that battle, I think the big battleground is actually tokenization, which is one of the ways that the technocrats are moving towards this global system where they have this control is by creating digital tokens that represent all of our assets. And these are digital tokens that can be centrally programmed, centrally tracked, and can be censored. Tokenization isn't itself bad. There's a freedom version of it where you can tokenize your own assets and trade them stocks, bonds, money, whatever it happens to be. And you can trade those privately without anyone being able to see the transactions. This is why I'm excited about Zeno. And I see it as a big counter to the technocratic threat. However, make no mistake, tokenization is happening. CBDCs are a form of tokenization, stablecoins are a form of tokenization, and it's the bad kind. And then we have the Clarity Act, which will involve tokenizing stocks, bonds, and commodities, which will be controlled by third parties, by governments and other third parties. And so this to me, this is why I'm passionate about this and trying to educate people on how to get out of the system. and to start building parallel economies that are private and decentralized. You'll note, by the way, I've changed the branding a bit. I've decided I'm sick of, I don't know about you, but I'm sick of this generic minimalist branding. All the big tech, everything has just turned into this You know, generic, everything is a sans serif font. Everything is supposed to be completely minimal. I like the idea of clean design, but at the same time, you know, what about beauty and what about aesthetics? And frankly, I think everything, you know, I think this is part of the technocratic vision is to just blur everything. Eventually, you start by blurring genders, gearing people up for merging with technology. You start kind of blending everything together. So I think from an aesthetic perspective, I'm probably going to be changing the brands a bit on all of these sites and focusing on kind of a better look. And in this case, kind of a richer, more abundant look. I kind of like this Art Deco vibe. So anyway, let me know what you think. But in any event, these are the three... areas that we focus on i mentioned earlier one warning people and helping people to wake up about what technocracy is why it's a threat uh two and this is actually the most important the only way out of this there are no white knights it's not a question of whether it's trump or musk or rfk jr it's none of them the you are your own white knight that is the only way out we we need to stop looking to other people we need to reclaim our free will and start taking control of our own thoughts our own emotions and our own actions and we have the ability to do that but we are being heavily programmed by other institutions and increasingly by algorithms and technology. And so this is a part of what we do is trying to educate people on how they're being programmed. A few episodes back went into quite some detail on social media and AI and the current algorithms in terms of, you know, seventy percent of our traffic is bots, basically. have these i even played a video clip where you know there are places where there are ten thousand cell phones that are manned by two or three people and all they are doing is generating fake engagement online and then beyond that freedom of reach as musk calls it is essentially a form of social credit where he tweaks and determines the algorithm and this is not a public square this isn't free speech and it's largely focused on rage baiting And the third area is the revolution will be tokenized. And this is again, building parallel systems outside of the current system to battle the technocratic threats. I'm introducing something new today because it's occurred to me, it's become difficult to stay on top of what's going on. The increase in technocracy has been so substantial since Trump was elected, not that it wasn't moving forward before, but it's actually mind-numbing. I mean, we now have Real ID, which is a digital ID. We have a backdoor CBDC. Other countries around the world are accelerating their CBDCs, putting in place digital ID, more AI surveillance. absolutely everywhere and so what i'm introducing tonight this is actually doesn't go into a lot of the detail but i will share the detail either on the site or i'll figure out an appropriate place to put it but we have to you know come up with a scorecard a framework of okay how are we doing and how fast is technocracy going and i would argue that if you think about this in terms of a DEF CON five type of situation where in this case five is bad, I'd say we're already at a three. And the dimensions that I'd measure this on are level of financial control. So where are we with things like CBDCs, stable coins, cashless mandates, debanking, Where are we with respect to digital identity, AI surveillance, data sovereignty, movement and control, communication, access to resources? So these are the elements of this scoring system. And I'm going to put this out for comment because, again, I came up with a framework for it. But I think it'd be useful for us to all have a common framework to look at, to see. Because what I've noticed, one of the problems is that Most of the technocracy creeps in very small increments. And so people don't notice it. But then when you actually take a step back and you look at, for instance, my area of focus, our money is already digital. It's already programmable. It doesn't need a blockchain or a bill to be passed. Our transactions are already being surveilled. Our money is already programmed. And so when you really start to take a step back, you realize we're already eighty percent of the way gone. And so I'm going to use this. At some point, I'm going to publish this framework and then get comments on it. And then every podcast, or maybe not every, but every podcast or every other podcast, we're going to look at the news in the lens of what's going on in terms of the overall march of technocracy. And so I'll give you an example of some of the things that are going on right now that are accelerating technocracy. And the list is even longer than this. And I encourage you to always check out what Patrick Wood is doing at technocracy.news and to sign up for his email list because he sends out a daily update on what's going on with technocracy. But I mean, we have now fifty five hundred secure digital ID enrollment kiosks that have been deployed across the United States, overseen by a federal digital identity office. And so, you know, this is probably not great news. Obviously, this kind of a kiosk is just more accelerating. The percentage of people that are participating in Real ID, which is we'll get to tonight, is a digital ID. And at the same time, Treasury is currently developing aggressive new approaches for tracking digital assets and requesting proposals for integrating AI surveillance. This is all going on right now. And when you start to understand the Clarity Act and the Genius Act and all of this, once you layer AI on top of that, it is the complete surveillance of not just your money, but the movement of every asset that you own. And that's happening very quickly. And most people don't even know about it. You know, in at least three metropolitan areas, companies have been contracted for new citywide deployments of AI driven surveillance. I mean, it goes on and on and on. So I'm going to figure out a way to once again, once we get the kind of a scorecard down a framework so that we can look at the news and assess where we are. And I don't have a lot of optimism that we're going to be reversing. of these trends because remember most people think that we're winning or a lot of people think that we're winning people think you know alex jones thinks we're defeating the globalists which that's pretty uh remarkable when you actually look at what's going on around the world and in the united states the second tracker that i want to put in place is you know what where are we on the monarchy scale and so again this goes back to my conversations about about curtis yarvin who's been actively promoting and pushing the idea that the united states needs a monarch or a dictator or a ceo um to take more power and more control and that that form of governance works better than democracy and i'm not democracy we're not supposed to be a democracy we're supposed to be a constitutional republic but i mean he's arguing that we need this type of position, although I saw today it just came up in my feed that he's thinking about leaving the United States and he's worried about the next election. But nevertheless, that's not germane to this conversation. But I want to put together similarly a set of metrics for how would you measure how much power is being gained by the executive branch and how close are we getting to a monarchy and so some dimensions i'd measure on that are executive over overreach emergency powers political persecution speech control constitutional erosion power consolidation ruled by decree and obviously the sovereign wealth fund would fit into that as well so i'm looking at my notes on this but obviously i'll circulate this around as well because i again i think When I talk to people, I'm not just on this podcast, but off the podcast that are working on technocracy and trying to get the information out there. I think this kind of... framework it might be helpful because it will also help people because they can see okay here's how we measure this and here's what's actually going on it gives a framework for starting to make sense of what's going on in these in these areas so those are two things i you know i already started to mention the next technocracy roundtable which includes courtney turner patrick wood Craig and myself, that will be October the twenty second at six p.m. And the focus on that one is going to be AI and health care. And this is a big topic. This is going to be a big extension of of what I started to talk about last week when I highlighted just the extent to which AI and big tech has infiltrated MAGA and MAHA. It's something that needs to be understood. I'm getting comments here. I will get to this. Do you envision supporting private chat in some way? How does someone get in contact with others in the community? You can... Well, right now you can sign up for free at theerrandayshow.com. And we have registered accounts. There's a commenting system. And I may very well add a community function to that if there's demand for something like that. Or I might even... set up a group using Zeno and Matrix, which I'm going to talk about briefly in this conversation, but that is a good idea. And so one way or another, whether it's directly through my site or through some of these other tools, we'll work on that. And so that's a great, great suggestion. So tonight's topic, so now we're going to get into the the heart of the issue so i mean so this has been shocking right what i'm about to tell you may may seem hyperbolic although maybe not if you're listening to this podcast but it's it's a documented fact and we really are in an emergency situation we're very soon going to wake up and find we're in a digital cage with no way out Between July and October of this year, in ninety days, seventeen countries have implemented mandatory digital ID systems. These weren't broadly announced. We're not talking about announced or proposed, implemented. So while people have been watching the news about Trump's latest appointments or conspiracy theories about Charlie Kirk or the latest battles amongst influencers, essentially three million people were digitally enslaved. But here's what should terrify you. The speed of implementation has gone exponential. What took Klaus Schwab twenty years to plan is now happening in months. What Bill Gates spent a decade building through ID. Twenty twenty was deployed in weeks. The technocracy isn't coming. It's here and it's accelerating at a pace that I even I didn't predict. I mean, I wrote a book. I wrote the final countdown three years ago or so. And the whole point of that was to warn people about CBDCs. But in the broader context of technocracy, And when I originally wrote it, people were like, oh, this is nuts. Are you nuts? And then it turns out I wasn't nuts enough. I wasn't apparently startling enough about what's going on. So let's put this in perspective. It took fifteen years to get real ID passed. So fifteen years to get real ID passed. So it's been nothing but back and forth. And then all of a sudden Trump is in and within ninety days we have real ID. Mobile driver's licenses went from a concept to eleven states in three years. So it's already digital. Real ID is already digital in eleven states. Ethiopia enrolled sixteen million people in their digital ID program in eighteen months. Mexico mandated biometric IDs for every citizen with full corporate compliance required by law, and they did it in one announcement. The UK, which is supposed to be a bastion of Western democracy, received, I think now it's up to two point eight million signatures against its digital ID. And Parliament debated it and the public opposed it by negative fourteen percent. And what happened? I mean, Parliament was bypassed entirely and they're implementing it through ministerial Decree democracy didn't just fail. It was executed on live television and nobody did anything about it. Maybe Curtis Yarvin can move to the UK. It seems like Keir Starmer is more up his up his alley. But why the sudden acceleration? Why now? Why are we seeing the coordination across seventeen countries in ninety days? In my opinion, I think they're preparing for something. And everything to me points to a manufactured crisis. If I had to guess, I'd guess a cyber attack. They will be blamed on anonymous transactions or privacy tools or decentralized networks, the things that I've been trying to tell people to start using for quite some time now. And I think that when that happens, they'll use it to justify an immediate mandatory adoption for digital ID. Again, when you look at what's going on, why now, why in all these countries and why doing it behind largely behind the scenes with the exception of the UK, which, you know, a lot of noise has been made about that. But mostly people didn't hear about what was going on in the other countries. So there'll be no gradual rollout, no voluntary adoption. Just all of a sudden overnight, you'll need a digital ID for everything or you'll be locked out of society. So look at the infrastructure they've built at breakneck speed. Palantir now has real-time access to every government database in America. Their Gotham system is running predictive algorithms on every citizen. They're not hiding it. Their CEO, Alex Karp, admits on camera they could track everyone if we eviscerate civil liberties. Well, guess what? Those civil liberties are already gone. The Fourth Amendment is dead, has been for a long time. The surveillance state is already operational. CBDCs are ready to launch. And if you look at this, I mean, I would argue what's happened with the Genius Act is a backdoor CBDC that captures twenty seven trillion dollars worth, twenty seven trillion dollars a year worth of transaction volume all in one act. But what's going on beyond that is China already has a CBDC. Countries representing ninety eight percent of the global GDP are working on CBDC and now it's being accelerated around the world. So at the end, what we're going to end up is whether you call it a stable coin regulated by governments and central banks or a direct CBDC, we're going to be dealing with programmable, trackable, sensible digital money at a speed and rate I was not even projecting prior to the election. The AI surveillance architecture is complete. Facial recognition is already largely in every major city. Behavioral prediction algorithms are already running. Social credit scoring is being tested in places like Bologna, Italy and Darwin, Australia. Your phone is continuously verifying your biometrics to the government every time you unlock it with Face ID. They've built the digital prison. They've tested the systems. They've proven they can freeze bank accounts instantly. Just ask the Canadian truckers or any of the number of our friends who have been debanked over the years. They've shown that they can lock us out of employment, as we're hearing about in the UK. They've demonstrated that they can starve us into compliance, Ethiopia. cage is built they're just waiting for the right crisis to lock the door and when the cyber attack comes and when the financial system crashes due to anonymous hackers they'll present digital ids and cbdcs is the only solution for our safety for our security to protect us from the terrorists the money launderers and the extremists this is what they're going to use this is always what they what they hold out and most people panicked and desperate will walk right into the cage I mean, this is the problem. There are a lot of people like, oh, well, we defeated them on COVID. And I'm like, you've accepted and even cheered on more of an increase in technocracy in the last nine months, and you're not even aware of it. And that's the problem that's going on. We might not fall for something that's exactly like COVID again, but I see no indication that people are broadly applying these principles because they don't understand that what's driving it all is technocracy. So they've assumed that we will comply and they've assumed that we have no alternatives. And that's the part where there is still time and hopefully they're wrong. So right now, as they accelerate their control grid, we're building the counter economy. Zeno provides completely anonymous transactions and the ability to tokenize assets. You have things like matrix that allow and enable encrypted communications that they can't monitor. Freedom Dollar, which I'm going to talk about exclusively on Thursday. I'm going to walk through Freedom Dollar, which is a privacy algorithmic stablecoin built on Zeno. I think is probably one of, if not the best counter that we have to technocracy and best counter that we have to CBDCs and government regulated and central bank regulated stable coins. Those aren't theoretical solutions. These are operational right now. I use these on a daily basis. I haven't used a personal bank account since twenty nineteen and I've moved exclusively into privacy coins over the last year. So while they spent decades building their prison, we have been building an escape route. And while they have created digital slavery, we are creating digital freedom. But I think it's critical. I think we maybe have as little as ninety days before the door slam shut. I mean, this is why I'm doing Freedom Dollar and I'm probably going to start doing one of the two podcasts that I do each week exclusively on solutions and walking people through what they can do to move into these systems because we are at that point now and we need a critical mass of people or otherwise again it's no fun watching the train wreck happen when you have enough lead time to hopefully at least get people off of the track so this is not a drill it's not a warning about the future this is an emergency broadcast about what's happening right now And I hope with what I show you tonight, you will realize that there's no reason to be complacent about any of these programs. We're no longer talking about digital ID and CBDCs as something in the distant future. We're no longer talking about AI surveillance as something that might happen in the future. It's already launched. These things are at various phases of deployment and the entire rate is essentially accelerating. So so with that, I'm going to walk through the presentation tonight. I have a few video clips and some interesting things. If you would like and share this, this one has we only have five hundred thirty eight people right now. I will say and I mentioned this last week, one hundred percent topics related to technocracy are shadow banned. and i will tell you so you know the curtis yarvin episode that i did on x was the worst traffic i've had probably and since i started doing the podcast yet on itunes and spotify it was the top performing podcast i've ever had so this information is is being shadow banned so if you think we you know again because you can talk about covid now that you have free speech. Yes, you can talk about the thing that happened five years ago where none of the people that need to be held accountable or currently hold office or are running these platforms. Yes, you can talk about those things, but you can't talk about the thing that is the present active COVID right now because they are owned by the technocrats musk owns x larry ellison now increasingly owns a bit of everything tick tock oracle cbs paramount uh peter teal jd vance vivek owned a big piece of um I'm a big piece of rumble. So it's on and on and on. So I really would appreciate if you could share this because this is a difficult situation to get this information out. And I think it's going to get more difficult. And I started doing podcasts in March of twenty twenty. were educational podcasts trying to show people how to get off of big tech so that you could talk about covet related topics and it only took a week before that was shadow banned so i have the same feeling right now and even looking at these these numbers right now i'm i'm thinking that that is that is the case so so with that between July and October, the most significant expansion of surveillance infrastructure in human history happened in ninety days. Seventeen countries implemented digital ID systems while the media had us watching anything else, frankly. And it wasn't organic growth. It was a coordinated deployment. So let me give you a summary of what's happened here. On July the first, Vietnam mandated electric e-identities for all businesses. July twenty fourth, Mexico started requiring biometrics. September twenty fifth, UK bypasses Parliament and moves towards a digital ID system. In October, Laos, PNG and Zambia activate. And the thing about these seventeen countries, when you dig into it, they're all using the same three contractors. So by my count, I mean, we're talking about stuff that affects billions of people. Every continent is now covered. And we're looking at completion dates of twenty six to twenty twenty six to twenty twenty seven. Globally. So I want you to think about that in terms of what most people have been worried about is Agenda twenty thirty and Klaus Schwab and everything else. And a lot of the people that I've talked to have just taken this approach that, oh, well, you know, Klaus Schwab resigned, even though he was replaced by Larry Fink, but that somehow the globalists are waning in influence. They're not. And as I said last week, I think Agenda twenty thirty is going to happen by twenty twenty eight. And not necessarily in the form of the thing pushed by the UN, but all of the things that are encompassed by UN Agenda, are looking like they're going to happen ahead of time. So the fact that with these digital IDs, we're looking at a twenty twenty six to twenty twenty seven completion date should be Horrifying. Also, when you dig into it, you see that there's interoperability built in from day one because you have some of the same contractors working on this. These systems are all designed to work together. So I'll talk about that in a little bit more detail. But essentially what you're seeing is in these rollouts, you're seeing the exact identical justification language is being used in every case. It's copy pasta. Financial inclusion appears in every announcement. They use the same technical standards, something called ISO one eight zero one three dash five. World Bank is funding multiple countries simultaneously. I wrote about this in my book that the World Bank is essentially a vehicle for pushing these types of policies on developing nations in a coordinated fashion, often using them as pilots, um, to test some of this. So the theory being, if we can get this kind of surveillance working in this small country that may have challenging demographics or minimal internet access, whatever it happens to be, then we're going to be able to get it working anywhere. And that has been a trend. The Tony Blair Institute is advising forty plus nations. So with that, let me show you how Mexico became the blueprint for North American surveillance. So we have in the Mexican system, they have an eighteen character prison number. This is a unique identifier that you're assigned for life. It contains your complete biometric profile. There's a QR code with your embedded personal data. It can't be changed, refused or appealed. It links to all government databases instantly. There is a corporate compliance mandate. Companies are now legally required to accept and verify. Noncompliance means immediate business closure. Real-time government database access is required. No warrant is needed for authorities to access. It's a complete employment surveillance system, essentially. So any company must provide immediate database access. Authorities can track anyone within seconds. Complete location history available on demand. Social network mapping automatically generated. Total population control infrastructure is complete. So Mexico just made history as the first company to make it illegal for companies not to track their employees. So I'm gonna play a video clip about this that you might find interesting. Let me see, we have here, here we go. Their existing population code, the CRP, unique population registry code, and made it a mandatory biometric ID for every single citizen. Mandatory being the keyword there. Exactly. We're talking a national digital ID card. Essentially, it's got your personal details, photos, fingerprints, even iris scans, all bundled into a QR code. Now, the CRP itself, that's not new. It's been around since ninety six. But making the biometrics compulsory, that's the game changer. This was flagged in a biometric update article just last week, July twenty fifth. And the timeline they've said is, well, ambitious is maybe putting it mildly. Right. They're aiming for a gradual rollout, supposed to be all done by February twenty twenty six. But get this metric curve. And is it obligatory? Mexico's Congress last month approved reforms to existing laws that allow for the creation of an identity document that contains biometric data, including fingerprints and iris scans. Supported by President Claudia Sheinbaum and the ruling Marina Party, the reforms to the laws enabled the creation of the CURP Biometrica. Biometric CURP took effect on July seventeenth after the publication of a decree in the federal government's official Gazette the previous day. The CURP, or Unique Population Registry Code, is an existing national identification code for all citizens and legal residents of Mexico. How much of your identity is truly, well, yours in this digital age? It's a question that Feels more pressing all the time, doesn't it? It really does. Technology is just so woven into our lives now. Exactly. And today we're doing a deep dive into something really compelling, maybe a bit concerning, developing in Mexico around digital identity. That's right. We got a news report from Biometric Update, their big name in the biometrics industry, you know. Very focused on the sector. We also have this really critical analysis. It's called SIF's take. Quite provocative. It is. And that's where the real tension lies, I think. Our mission today is to unpack these sources, especially digging into SIF's perspective to really understand what Mexico's new mandatory biometric identifier means, you know, So I'd be curious in the comments how many of you were aware of what was going on with Mexico because I was not entirely aware of what's going on. And I didn't realize it was to this extent. And so, you know, just from a development standpoint, by October, by October, by October, by October, by October, by October, by October, It will be mandatory for all school enrollments, including for children. Full obligatory use for all adults and children is scheduled for February twenty twenty six. So this is it. This is the model. I mean, who would have thought that it would be Mexico? Right. So, again, curious to see in the comments if you were aware of the fact that it was a complete and total comprehensive digital ID system with biometrics and everything tied to a QR code that had been mandated in Mexico. And that's just one, again, of seventeen countries. So what is coming? Why is all of this happening at the same time? And if you look at this, obviously, if you think the Mexican situation is bad, you probably have heard about what's going on in the UK, which is that on September the twenty fifth, the UK government received one point two million petitions against their digital ID. I think that was like right out of the gates again last time I checked and I haven't even been able to get the full update today because I've been working on the presentation last check. It was two point eight million and public support had collapsed from initially plus thirty five percent to now negative fourteen percent. So Parliament debated it and overwhelmingly opposed it. And so what did the government do? They bypassed Parliament entirely and implemented it through a ministerial decree and made it mandatory for all employees for all employment by twenty twenty nine. So democracy didn't just fail. It was truly executed on live television. And I will show you a clip. This is a consolidated clip from a couple of different perspectives that you can see. what is going on on the ground there. I think this is the right one. And this all started with me getting the hump because the government were telling me what car to drive. Um, the twenty thirty zero emission vehicle mandate and all the rest of it, stating that by twenty thirty we will all be driving milk floats. You will not be able to buy a petrol car. You will not be able to buy a diesel car. And I hate being told what to do and what I can't do. And as I keep saying to all the floaterati, this is about choice. This is about having a choice. That's all it is. It's about not being dictated to over what you can or can't drive. There should be a choice. Oh, you just want to go back to the horse and cart. You would have been protesting about the motor car back then. No, I wouldn't, because nobody said, shoot the fucking horse. You can't have that no more. That never happened, did it? It was a case of, would you like a car? Yes, I would. Would you like to stay with the horse and cart? Yes, I will, because I don't feel that the motor car technology is actually worthwhile at the moment, and I'd like to wait until something better comes along. Sound familiar? Plus, my horse would do more than fifteen mile an hour, which is all the bloody Model T Ford did anyway. And, my horse was lovely. And I could talk to it. Can't talk to a Model T. It splutters. Anyway, that's not the reason for this. The reason for this is that, obviously, the government announced last week that they're going to introduce digital ID's. And I've had my fair share to say about it. In fact, I'm wearing right now, you can't see it because the camera angle doesn't quite fit, but this T-shirt says, here's my, and then that's two fingers sticking up, and underneath it says digital ID. You can buy one of these T-shirts, the link's in my bio. Um, because obviously it's the worst idea since, insert your own analogy here, since my first marriage. Um... So as soon as they announced it, somebody started a petition, one of these government petitions. And it took off quite quickly. I think it's been running for five days, that's all. And it now has. I've written the number on my hand, except I can't read it without my glasses on. Hang on. two million seven hundred and fifty eight thousand two you will know exactly how this could affect your daily life the announcement breakdown so here's what we know on thursday september twenty fifth twenty twenty five prime minister keir stammer announced plans for a mandatory digital id scheme for every adult in britain this isn't just a proposal this is happening though it will need consultation and let's They're telling people, oh, if you've all got Digi-ID, they'll stop the boats crossing the channel. What a lie! If you've got Digi-ID, it'll help you fill potholes. It's complete blathering nonsense. And of course, now, though, we have another problem. People say, no, it's all right. We'll have a Bill of Digital Rights. And more of digital rights will be the backdoor for digital ID and the end of freedom. Stop digital ID! Stop digital ID! Stop digital ID! And of course, let's say... Millions have signed up to oppose digital ID cards in the UK. More than two point four million people have signed an online petition demanding that the UK government immediately commits to not introducing digital ID cards. Petition creator Maxim Sutcliffe argues that introducing digital ID cards would be a step towards mass surveillance and digital control, and no one should be forced to register with a state controlled ID system. Sir Keir Starmer announced last week that the UK government would introduce a new ID system by twenty twenty nine that would be mandatory for people working in the UK. The Do Not Introduce Digital ID Cards petition is now entitled to a written response from the UK government and is currently being considered by the Petitions Committee for Debate in Parliament. Labour backbencher Bill Ribeiro Andy said the petition shows people do not understand the purpose of this move. But the Prime Minister said he was absolutely convinced that one of the reasons migrants travelled through France to reach the UK was that it was easier to work illegally here. Let me spell that out. You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital ID. It's as simple as that. You clicked on this video because you saw the number, over two million signatures. And you wondered, how in the world did that happen so fast? And you might think this is just another political debate, a back and forth about a new government policy. But what if I told you that this isn't about an ID card at all? Because what the government is proposing isn't just an upgrade, it's an entirely new system. A system built on the premise that they should have a single, unified database of your entire life. And what I'm about to show you, what the data reveals, is that they didn't just make a mistake. They walked into the exact same trap a previous government fell into. But this time, the trap is a whole lot scarier. OK, let's break it down. September, twenty sixth, twenty twenty five. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stands up and he delivers a speech that on the surface feels pragmatic. He says his government is taking a tough stance on immigration. He says he wants to tackle the black market economy and he says the solution is a new digital identity. So there you have it. I mean, this was pretty fast and pretty unprecedented in terms of, I mean, it kind of came a little bit out of nowhere. And so now, as you heard from the clips, you will not be able to work anywhere without this digital verification. So right-to-work checks will be completely digitized, and this applies to all employment, not just if you work for a large corporation. This will apply to self-employed, to contractors, to the gig economy, even to Uber drivers. So this is a massive mandate. And what I think it's intended to do, and again, this is the kind of thing Curtis Yarvin says that he's in favor of this kind of power, this subversion of democracy. This is an example of how to do this. This is a case study of how you can bypass democracy entirely. This is a perfect example of the administrative state being triumphant over elected officials. Public opinion is completely irrelevant. The protests achieved absolutely nothing. Now they have a template. And believe me, they're going to use it. And before people say, oh, well, God, I'm glad they're not doing that here. We've already accepted it. People don't even realize they already accepted real ID. We already have a digital ID. It's frustrating watching people point fingers at how bad it is everywhere else when people don't even realize we innovated on this surveillance. But we'll get to that. So... So while the UK was destroying democracy, Ethiopia pioneered using banking as a weapon of total control. There's a comment here. How can we be certain that Zeno won't be affected? What are some of the ways it could shut down? So, I mean, this is the thing. Zeno is a decentralized protocol. There is no centralized corporate entity. The transactions are private. I fully expect it to be banned in certain countries. I mean, the EU is already talking about banning privacy coins by That doesn't stop it from actually working, and it doesn't stop it from remaining private. The thing that you have to understand about all this is we're not going to comply our way out of technocracy. If we think we're going to follow the rules and beat the people that are not using the rules that are subverting the Constitution, then we've already lost. That is the biggest problem that people, well, I don't want to do this because there's nothing illegal about Zeno currently. But I mean, I know a lot of people are like, well, I don't want to do this because this might become illegal. Do you realize you've basically already lost? You've pretty much surrendered your free will anyway. You might as well get ready for your pod. Because if you're unwilling to use legal things that are actually constitutional or even kind of reinforce the Constitution, then you'll pretty much accept anything. So, but there's always risk. I mean, you know, don't be clear. Let me be clear. There's, there are risks with everything. There's risks with Zeno. There's risks with Monero. There's risks with every technology. This is an ongoing war of technocracy versus freedom. So there's absolutely nothing guaranteed about any of it. I will talk about, and I did, I can't remember, I think it was episode twenty five. I did an episode entirely dedicated to the Zeno ecosystem, but I'm going to be breaking that down. into pieces and then providing other videos and other tools as well so um so sylvia if everyone does not comply in the uk i mean you know sure that could happen um you know, it should happen, but we haven't seen a lot of success with noncompliance. I mean, I think COVID was a good ramp up for this. What was the percentage of uptake on the vaccine in the UK? I mean, if they got people to do that, then how hard is it to get them to do digital ID? I mean, realistically. And if what you're saying is you can't work and you can't collect a paycheck, how many people are going to be willing to actually forego that or be willing to actually fight that out. I mean, you've got lead time. There are steps that people could take, but inevitably people will wait until the last minute and then they'll say, well, I don't have any, there's nothing I could have done about it. When the reality is the stuff that you can do about it is right now. And as I have said, time and time again, the single best tool to fighting technocracy is to ditch fiat currency, stop using currency that is backed by government debt. If you stop using their money, that is what halts them. Voting will fix nothing. You have zero ability. to change the political system. We'll do another podcast on this. My wife and I have forty years of experience trying that. But I mean, I can document what it would take to win politically. It's over. Politically is over. The best thing that you can do is not fight, but to take your energy and money is a form of energy out of the system and put it into alternatives because you cannot win a rigged game. But you can build a parallel system. And what their system requires is essentially they're expecting nearly a hundred percent compliance. So you don't have to get fifty percent plus one to actually stop their system. You only need a few percent and really the ability to show people that can be done. Because that's the big problem with a lot of this is that we're always playing defense. We're not creating the alternative. At best, what we're doing is stopping one part of the technocracy from moving in one way. But overall, over the past ninety years, the technocracy has only been moving in one direction. Maybe a blip here or a blip there. There is no pendulum that's been swinging. Tell me about the pendulum that's swinging in the surveillance space. Since World War II, has the pendulum swung towards privacy once? When it comes to financial surveillance, has the pendulum gone towards privacy once since the Bank Secrecy Act? It has not. There has not been any revocation of any of the financial surveillance. And there won't be. So accept that and then move into these alternative systems. I can't stress that. I can't stress that enough. So now we'll talk... about ethiopia on january the first of this year ethiopia mandated the fada digital id for all banking in the nation's capital no id means no bank account which means no economic existence they've already enrolled sixteen point four million people they're targeting ninety million by twenty twenty seven but here's what makes it terrifying the world bank is funding this with a hundred and twenty million dollars and they're calling it financial inclusion They're not banking the unbanked. They're digitally enslaving them. So again, it's a financial execution. Banking is literally impossible without this digital ID. December, twenty twenty six nationwide mandatory implementation. Cash is being systematically removed from circulation. International transfers require ID verification, complete economic surveillance grid activated. And by the way, there's a lot more that I need to research on this. I mean, I travel to Mexico quite a bit. What are the implications of these digital IDs for people coming in from outside of the country? I saw last week that the EU was looking at tightening up the requirements and scans and what kind of information fore
