The elite are already conducting large-scale pilot projects for the future they want, but we are not. They're not being subtle about it. They're not hiding it. The plan is a single, government-issued app that contains your medical records, your employment records, your travel records, your education records, your immunization records, your tax records, your financial records, and (possibly) copies of your signature, fingerprints, facial scans, voice samples, and DNA.
Everything is conveniently stored on your phone—and shared with the governments of nineteen countries (plus Ukraine) and over 140 other public and private partners. From Deutsche Bank to the Ukrainian Ministry of Digital Progress to Samsung Europe, you'll use this app to make payments, apply for loans, pay your taxes, pick up your prescriptions, cross international borders, start businesses, book doctor's appointments, apply for jobs, and even sign digital contracts online.
Companies and authorities will access this data from the backend to conduct "automated background checks." The German Consumer Organization (VZBZ) has expressed concerns that such an app could "pose a risk to privacy and data» to which the only answer is: «Of course, that's what it's there for!»
None of this is hypothetical, by the way, that our digital possibilitiesIn addition to the pilot project “Building prototypes and testing use cases” for the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet, there is now at least three otherThis is the latest development in a rollout that dates back to the Covid outbreak and beyond, with the EUID wallet being touted since 2021.
Anton Chashchin is apparently chairman of the fintech investment group N7, his article is a pretty good example of the kind of articles one can expect to see in major mainstream media outlets the closer we get to the full implementation of the EUID. He talks about the cost of fraud and how digital ID systems will make everything much safer and more efficient, but laments the "lack of harmonization" across borders and systems.
Interestingly, he also points out that digital ID systems at the national level have experienced a massive boost due to the Covid “pandemic” [emphasis added]:
in Belgium the rapid introduction of itsme, the online identification system in 2021-2022, was fueled by a government decree requiring a COVID-19 pass for restaurant visits. Itsme's digital identity offered consumers the most convenient way to obtain the passport and doubled the user base from 3 million to 6 million within a year. This shows that Consumer acceptance occurs when a service is needed and secured by the trust of the government.
He's right. COVID set the ball rolling for the digital ID/vaccination certificate, but it's lost momentum since then. So maybe we really do need to look for the next big "reason." A "catastrophic catalyzing event," to use a phrase. What do you think they're planning to suddenly force a tech identity on people? I think we'll find out very soon...
In other news on digital ID, Jordan has announced the digital ID is implemented and you will only be able to vote in the next election with eID.
Cameroon has a few days ago has just introduced its new national ID system, which could potentially become fully digital in the near future. Tony Blair is back on his favorite hobbyhorse: He claims that Britons would gladly trade their privacy for efficiency. And so it goes on…
By the way, I really hope no US reader thinks Donald and Elon are going to spare you this chaos. The Department of Government Efficiency will be looking into digital identity. After all, what could be more "efficient" than a single app used for everything? Hasn't Elon already said he'll make X the "everything app"? The only difference is that the US version is private rather than public. But is there even a real difference anymore?

"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever
