The Push For Digital ID And 'Social Credit Scoring'

Digital ID Tyranny is being Rolled Out Across the World

Rhoda Wilson

New biometrics identity credentials have been proposed or launched around the world as government digital identity schemes continue to roll out.

Previously we wrote about the program Mastercard launched for retailers to use biometric payment methods, like facial recognition and fingerprint scanning. As of May, the program had already gone live in five grocery stores in Sao Paulo, Brazil, with more trials planned for Asia and the Middle East. Mastercard said it planned to roll it out globally later this year.

But it’s not only private companies dictating we use the technology they’ll use to track, trace and control us. From Australia to the Maldives to Uganda, governments are rolling out the WEF / UN digital IDs to usher in a global digitised police state.  A state which will police every aspect of our lives.

Australia to “actively explore” a national digital ID system

Australia’s digital and data ministers from the federal government (Commonwealth), and six states and territories agreed to “actively explore” a national digital identification system.

Over the past six years, the federal government has spent about $450 million on a digital identification system, but has been delayed by a lack of legislation to expand the system into territories, states, and the private sector.

“While Australia lacks the corresponding technological infrastructure to utilise a Digital Identity to its sinister potential (such as China’s spying street lights and billboards), this Bill – whether intentional or accidental – acts as the foundation for a China-style Social Credit System,” wrote Senator Malcolm Roberts.

In February, Senator Roberts warned Australians about the “Trusted” Digital Identity Bill in a short video. “The so-called trusted digital identity bill represents a watershed moment in Australian history we stand at the divide between a free personal enterprise future and a digital surveillance age,” he said.

In a speech in Parliament last month, Senator Roberts said:

Instead of working together to push Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum plan based on United Nations policies, work together instead for our country. Klaus Schwab’s life by subscription, quote, is really serfdom. It’s slavery. Billionaire globalist corporations will own everything, homes, factories, farms, cars, furniture, and everyday citizens will rent what they need if their social credit score allows.

The plan of the Great Reset is that you will die with nothing. To pull off this evil plan, Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum will need to take more than just material possessions from Australians. Senators in this very chamber today who support the Great Reset threaten our privacy, freedom, and dignity. Yes, they’re in this senate chamber.

One Nation vehemently opposes the Great Reset, the Digital Identity Bill, theft of agricultural land use forcing farmers off their land, and all of the Great Reset.

Government officials in Canada and the United States gave their prognosis for how the Covid pandemic altered the direction of digital ID.  Canada’s Treasury Board president says the pandemic was an accelerant for broader acceptance of digital ID.

A US congressman, Bill Foster, proposed legislation to promote verified digital ID as a means of clamping down on pandemic-related fraud garnered interest at a congressional hearing on the issue.

The bill is not Foster’s first attempt at legislating national digital identity.

The European Union (“EU”) is moving quickly to adopt a transnational digital identity system. However, the EU proposal came under attack in the European Parliament several months ago for running the risk of replicating Communist China’s social credit system.

European Parliament Member Cristian Terhes said the move was equivalent to the “Chinafication of Europe” where the government acts as the all-encompassing Big Brother who sees everyone, everything, everywhere.

Meanwhile, the EU says that unlike China’s social credit system, its digital identity platform will only be voluntary.

But sceptics have cast doubts particularly following the implementation of the Covid-19 passport, which sparked violent protests across Europe. The passport had initially been lobbied as a voluntary and temporary solution to enable ‘safe’ cross-border travel amid the pandemic. Now, it is a mandatory tool that EU officials are mulling to extend further.

Members of the European Parliament Rob Roos and Rob Rooken explained how the so-called EU “Digital Identity Wallet” works.

“This is what governments and big corporations will do: they will ask for more information than they are currently allowed to. This hollows out our privacy and makes citizens powerless against the government and big corporations.”Read more: Nation First, 5 August 2022
