The Coming Government-Issued Digital ID?

The Digital ID System To Come:


Before his term ends, President Joe Biden is planning to sign an executive order (EO) to speed up the nation's adoption of a standardized digital identification platformcontrolled by Washington, D.C.

The digital ID system will require Americans to verify their identity and age in order to access certain public websites and services. This includes Obamacare and other government-run health care plans that will only be available to Americans who agree to participate in the digital ID program.

A nonprofit media outfit called NOTUS obtained a draft copy of Biden's EO, which states that "It is the policy of the executive branch to strongly encourage the use of digital identity documents."

The program is "optional," but in order to access health care services, renew one's driver's license, or log onto public services portals online, users will have to agree to participate otherwise they will not be allowed to access anything controlled by the government online.

According to NOTUS, Biden's EO "could reshape how Americans access government services, and potentially behave online." Biometric technologies like facial recognition are included as part of the system to "help better verify identity online," we are told.

None of this would be possible without the help of Big Tech companies Apple and Google, both of which are said to be working with the United States government to build digital ID systems that "allow Americans to carry identity documents on their smartphones and frictionlessly submit them to both government and private sector websites for verification."

This is a dream come true for the World Economic Forum (WEF), which has stated in the past that digital identity is "the sum total of the growing and evolving mass of information about us, our profiles and the history of our activities online."

Michael Rectenwald, PhD, author of "The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty: Unraveling the Global Agenda," told The Defender that digital ID is much worse even than what the WEF admits it to be.

"Digital identity is not merely a new, more handy, lightweight, digital form of identification," he warns.

"It refers to a collection of data that purportedly defines who we are, including what we do both online and offline … and not merely to a means by which we can be identified as such."
