The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters - FREEMIUM： Brokenomics ｜ We must stop Digital ID

00:00:00.000 Hello and welcome to Brokernomics.

00:00:29.480 Now, in this episode, we are definitely going to have to get into digital IDs because Tony

00:00:34.900 Blair has risen from the crypt and issued commandments to his minions, including Keir

00:00:41.240 Starmer, that he must obey with the introduction of these horrific ideas.

00:00:46.860 Now, this is very much something I started with.

00:00:50.040 When I, I mean, as you know, my backstory, I was just sort of minding my own business

00:00:53.820 at home and then COVID came along and it particularly upset me.

00:00:56.480 And also at the time, I was reading about the UN Sustainable Development Goals or Agenda

00:01:01.160 2030 and also linking it to what was coming out of the Bank of International Settlements

00:01:06.160 about how they wanted a digital, they wanted central bank digital currencies, which is

00:01:10.560 a very much a part of this story.

00:01:12.400 And they needed digital IDs in order to tie the things together to give them a complete

00:01:16.800 web of control.

00:01:18.080 So when they started doing all this COVID past nonsense and restricting liberties and all

00:01:21.940 the rest of it, I was really banging the drum as much as I could.

00:01:24.780 And I think the first sort of public thing I did was I went on James Dellingpole's show.

00:01:30.280 And I mean, it fitted perfectly with his kind of vibe because, you know, he's into the conspiracy

00:01:36.280 stuff.

00:01:37.320 And so there I was laying out all of this conspiracy stuff.

00:01:42.200 Only it's all come true.

00:01:43.960 So, yes.

00:01:45.880 So, I mean, everything that I outlined there has come to pass in various places.

00:01:53.340 So, yeah, it's a subject that I've been very much alive to for some time.

00:01:58.540 And I've done a couple of bits on this.

00:02:00.120 I've done a very short six-minute Twitter post where I did a quick video where I banged

00:02:06.500 through 20 reasons why digital IDs were very bad, ideal, wouldn't work, et cetera.

00:02:11.940 And I did a segment with, was it Josh and Bo?

00:02:18.580 I did a segment with them on there.

00:02:22.080 So I'm trying to get the message out.

00:02:24.580 But those formats don't really let me go into any detail on any of this stuff.

00:02:28.040 And I kind of need to.

00:02:29.180 So for those of you who would like to be equipped with a strong understanding of what's going

00:02:34.180 on here and why it's bad, well, I've got Brokonomics to do that.

00:02:38.660 So that's what I'm going to do.

00:02:39.940 Maybe I should let this one out as a, what do we call it, a freemium so that as many people

00:02:45.060 as possible can see it and we can push back against this dreadful idea.

00:02:48.560 Okay, I talked about my sort of intro here that I got into all of this talking stuff because

00:02:57.320 of COVID.

00:02:59.000 And I mean, let's just remind ourselves how bloody horrific COVID was.

00:03:02.980 They issued these stay-at-home orders.

00:03:05.380 And, you know, it went on for months at ends and hospitals and gyms and churches and small

00:03:13.300 businesses were forced to shut.

00:03:16.500 And you got £10,000 fines for illegal gatherings.

00:03:21.820 It was illegal to freely associate.

00:03:25.560 And you got a £10,000 fine that you did.

00:03:28.740 We had bizarre things.

00:03:30.040 We had Manchester police literally battering down the door of some family because they

00:03:36.460 were having a birthday party for their 10-year-old girl and some other 10-year-old girls were

00:03:40.820 there.

00:03:41.280 And so they broke down the door and stormed it.

00:03:45.100 You had a whole bunch of businesses who were just like, no, I can't do this.

00:03:48.660 I'm not doing this. 0.92

00:03:49.540 This is ridiculous. 0.82

00:03:50.320 And you just stayed open. 0.83

00:03:51.140 They got £10,000 fines.

00:03:54.320 Jim's got £10,000 fines.

00:03:56.320 I mean, at least we didn't go quite as berserk as Canada.

00:04:01.180 I mean, they were sort of manhandling priests to the ground and slapping them in shackles

00:04:06.000 and taking them off the jail.

00:04:06.740 I think there's still a Canadian priest who is in jail because he had the temerity to keep

00:04:12.600 his church open during a tyranny.

00:04:16.180 So, I mean, oh, and nightclubs.

00:04:17.940 They closed nightclubs and then they brought in an NHS app, a COVID pass, said you're only

00:04:25.200 allowed to go to them if you have this COVID pass.

00:04:28.320 I mean, this is a clear forerunner for this digital ID nonsense.

00:04:33.800 Police in Derbyshire, they used drones to track people who went for a walk in the open

00:04:39.720 air.

00:04:41.480 The insanity of that.

00:04:43.180 No, there's a pandemic going on, so you've got to be inside with your windows shut, recirculating

00:04:49.940 the virus.

00:04:50.560 No, you can't just go for a walk in the open air.

00:04:53.180 We're going to use drones to track you.

00:04:55.540 Police didn't have a bloody clue what the actual law was.

00:04:58.080 So they were just going around handing out fines and arresting people left, right and

00:05:01.140 centre because they just heard the rhetoric.

00:05:04.260 And they didn't quite realise that the rhetoric was more extreme than the actual powers the

00:05:08.280 government had.

00:05:08.960 And so, yeah, they were just going around slapping arrests and fines on people left,

00:05:12.760 right and centre.

00:05:13.760 I think in the end, it was something like 118,000 COVID fines were issued in just England

00:05:18.980 and Wales.

00:05:20.940 And the narrative drift, I mean, it went from three weeks to flatten the curve, if you remember

00:05:25.660 that.

00:05:26.020 Three weeks, we're just going to have a shutdown for three weeks.

00:05:28.720 And in the first three weeks, almost everybody was on board.

00:05:32.780 I mean, I was immediately suspicious.

00:05:34.140 And that's when I sort of dug out the old Twitter account and started posting against

00:05:39.560 it because I thought, yeah, it's not going to be three weeks, is it?

00:05:41.780 And it wasn't three weeks.

00:05:42.880 It was two bloody years.

00:05:44.520 That's what it turned into.

00:05:46.060 And all of this has set a legal precedent that the Coronavirus Act basically gave government

00:05:51.520 tyrannical powers.

00:05:53.640 And it was renewed multiple times.

00:05:55.820 Lots of it was clearly illegal.

00:05:58.440 But the courts just sided with them anyway.

00:06:00.200 People who brought challenges against us were just slapped down on no legal basis.

00:06:06.060 So that's the thing you have to remember of all of this stuff I'm going to talk about

00:06:09.600 with digital IDs.

00:06:11.520 It would be one thing if our government had a robust history of defending several liberties

00:06:17.980 at every point.

00:06:19.400 But actually what they've done is the moment you give them the slightest inkling that they

00:06:25.800 can grab absolute tyrannical powers, they always do it immediately.

00:06:29.860 I mean, it's not just that.

00:06:31.600 I mean, there's other examples.

00:06:32.960 They brought in anti-terror legislation.

00:06:36.120 And David Davis, he's got a good one.

00:06:39.360 He resigned in protest to a lot of this stuff.

00:06:41.820 And a lot of people were saying, well, why are you resigning against anti-terror powers? 0.77

00:06:46.400 I mean, that's ridiculous.

00:06:47.440 And he was like, no, this will be misused immediately. 0.51

00:06:51.220 And what happened?

00:06:52.680 Councils started using anti-terror legislation to fine people who put their bins out on the

00:06:57.500 wrong day.

00:06:57.980 So you cannot give government power on the basis that it will stop terrorism or stop a

00:07:05.800 virus or the current excuse, which is palpable, that it's going to be used to stop the illegal

00:07:12.580 boat crossings or stop them working in delivery once they get here.

00:07:15.440 Because these powers will be immediately used to the maximum possible tyrannical extent, the

00:07:22.260 moment that they can be.

00:07:23.660 And my source for this is basically all of history, including recent British history and basically every other country where they did this nonsense as well.

00:07:36.580 It is going to be wrapped up in CBDCs.

00:07:39.660 The Bank of International Settlements, I come to that, is, you know, it's just openly saying this is a full control mechanism.

00:07:49.660 It's what digital IDs are for.

00:07:52.220 It's so that we can have control.

00:07:54.120 Can you imagine if they had the combination of this stuff, digital IDs and CBDCs during COVID?

00:08:01.760 So, I mean, it wouldn't have been that you needed a Vaxport passport to go somewhere.

00:08:07.660 You would have just been turned off from the ability to travel more than 15 minutes from your home.

00:08:12.680 You wouldn't be able to make purchases.

00:08:15.040 Small businesses that tried to stay open would just be told, no, your account is switched off.

00:08:21.200 You wouldn't be able to travel.

00:08:22.340 You wouldn't be able to protest.

00:08:23.300 Your card, your payments wouldn't work.

00:08:28.640 You wouldn't have been able to buy a holiday, go away, see a family member.

00:08:36.320 I suppose the one thing that would be useful from their point of view is they could do more directed COVID payments and sort of furlough payments for shutdown.

00:08:44.240 So you might think it would do some of the fraud.

00:08:46.660 But, of course, once they've got this ability, I mean, they're just going to spunk so much money on it. 0.83

00:08:49.780 It's going to be ridiculous.

00:08:50.540 Oh, the other thing, you have to remember COVID as well, is they went to war on COVID misinformation.

00:08:59.160 And that was basically anybody who actually knew anything got silenced.

00:09:02.900 You had people who had won Nobel Prizes for, you know, virus and immunology type stuff who were getting censored off YouTube.

00:09:12.880 You had people who were lifelong cardiologists and immunologists who were saying, hang on, this is nonsense.

00:09:20.160 This doesn't make any sense.

00:09:22.680 Jay Batacaria something.

00:09:25.800 Oh, there was another American guy whose names escapes me.

00:09:28.460 There was that German Thai dude.

00:09:32.040 I can't remember the names now.

00:09:33.600 But you had all these people who were eminently qualified to this.

00:09:39.140 I'm just forgetting names again.

00:09:40.380 But there was another guy who was the senior immunologist at Pfizer, who was subsequently retired, who was coming out and saying, no, this is insanity.

00:09:53.440 What they're telling you cannot possibly make sense for these following reasons.

00:09:57.020 All of them banned, deplatformed, taken away.

00:09:59.200 If you had digital IDs in there and your ability to link to the internet was tied to your digital ID, which this will be, it wouldn't have been a question of banning these videos once they come out.

00:10:14.060 It would be a question of banning you from even accessing the internet in order to give the interview in the first place.

00:10:20.080 People who protested, I went on a whole bunch of the COVID protests, you'd just be locked out.

00:10:28.360 It'd be like, you know, you're from Winchester and you're going to a protest in London, you know, and you're trying to buy a train ticket or something, or you're trying to buy petrol too far from your home.

00:10:36.980 No, no, your car's just turned off.

00:10:39.820 Can't do it.

00:10:40.840 You're not going to get it.

00:10:41.520 Also, if you ever go to a protest, I don't know what it's like in other countries, but in Britain, the police spend 90% of their time filming everybody.

00:10:51.920 They go around with these cameras on these poles, trying to make sure they clock everybody's face so they can stick it in a biometric database.

00:10:59.980 Again, link to a digital ID, immediately identify everybody there, and then these people get extra scrutiny.

00:11:05.800 They get their bank accounts frozen, you know, whatever else.

00:11:08.220 So, what did I say?

00:11:10.200 118,000 fines were issued.

00:11:13.060 £10,000 fines were handed out liberally.

00:11:16.480 COVID passes tied to the NHS app were, you know, handed out.

00:11:21.080 Well, they were basically mandated across a whole bunch of, well, I mean, everything.

00:11:25.900 I mean, I remember I was a school governor at the time, and, you know, whatever, there was this thing at the school that couldn't be put off.

00:11:35.040 It was a necessary thing to happen.

00:11:37.040 And the headmistress took it upon herself to say, oh, well, we're only going to let in vaccinated people.

00:11:42.020 And I, of course, kicked off at that.

00:11:43.360 It's like, no, we're not bloody doing that. 0.99

00:11:44.820 Don't be so sodding silly. 0.99

00:11:47.980 Furlough scheme. 0.99

00:11:49.360 $70 billion was spent on that.

00:11:51.180 If you had the combination of digital IDs and central bank digital currencies, because the whole goal was to stimulate the economy, because, you know, they spent a lot of money shutting the economy down.

00:12:03.100 And then every so often they got that it occurred to them that what they were doing was utterly ruinous.

00:12:07.880 And they wanted to suddenly eject a bit more money into the thing.

00:12:11.560 And, I mean, especially with the US COVID, I mean, there was a Bitcoin spike because everybody got these, you know, furlough payments or whatever they called them there. 0.87

00:12:19.580 These payments for, you know, sorry, we fucked you over so badly over COVID.

00:12:24.100 And loads of people just went out and bought Bitcoin with it. 0.73

00:12:26.720 So there's a massive spike in it, which is not really what they were intending it to be used for.

00:12:31.320 With a digital ID and central bank digital currency, you could be issued a payment, but it's programmable money.

00:12:39.960 Meaning that, you know, you can only use it on the things they want you to use it on.

00:12:43.380 So consumption, you know, a restaurant or buying something from Walmart.

00:12:47.500 And if you've not used it within 30 days, it is that this money has an expiry date.

00:12:54.100 You know, in time, when I come to this, they're able to do that with everything.

00:12:57.120 Wages.

00:12:58.960 You know, why are you hoarding money?

00:13:00.720 Why aren't you spending?

00:13:01.500 Why aren't you consuming?

00:13:03.600 You know, your wages are, we can't have you saving.

00:13:08.380 Because if any of you save, you might get notions that you can leave your social rung.

00:13:13.160 You might get the idea that one day you could start to even gradually approach the global elites.

00:13:18.700 We're not having that.

00:13:20.200 So therefore your wages, you know, you can't buy any assets.

00:13:23.240 You can't do anything like that.

00:13:24.160 You get your wages and you have to spend it on consumption.

00:13:27.180 And if you've not spent it within two months, it expires.

00:13:30.220 You know, your money's gone.

00:13:32.140 So given that we've already had that recent history, anybody who can remember that,

00:13:42.980 which is hopefully most of you, apart from the, you know, the NPCs who have seemed to have forgotten COVID already,

00:13:51.060 this absolutely must be stopped.

00:13:54.860 Now, of course, the Trojan horse they're pitching this stuff on is digital ID will stop illegal immigration and illegal working.

00:14:01.540 Bollocks, will it?

00:14:02.900 I mean, absolutely not.

00:14:04.500 So it's presented as a security measure framed around border control because that's the thing that people are most concerned about.

00:14:12.060 And the Blairite logic is something like if every citizen must verify themselves at every turn, illegals will stand out. 0.99

00:14:19.700 Well, I mean, nonsense.

00:14:20.420 I mean, first of all, the digital ID is not going to stop a boat landing in Kent.

00:14:23.440 And all these people are already working in the illegal sector.

00:14:27.580 They're doing takeaway delivery jobs.

00:14:30.040 I think it's something like 40% of all takeaway delivery drivers are illegal immigrants.

00:14:35.600 Deliveroo, for example, you know, they've recently put out a statement saying, well, look, if you insist on stopping illegal immigration,

00:14:42.840 our costs are going to have to go up.

00:14:44.980 So don't do that because then you have to pay more because you can't be bothered to go and pick up your Chinese or your pizza or something.

00:14:49.820 And there's already right to work checks.

00:14:54.080 You know, you can ask for passports and national insurance numbers and driving license and all the rest of it.

00:15:01.060 So the immigration problem is not a lack of ID.

00:15:04.660 It's a lack of enforcement over the powers that are already there because actually they because obviously they don't actually have a problem with illegal immigration.

00:15:12.420 It's quite useful.

00:15:15.100 They have a problem with not having enough control over those of us who are here legally.

00:15:18.900 And all of those people coming over, they will eventually be made legal citizens.

00:15:23.360 It will.

00:15:24.560 So, I mean, you've got to understand the scale of failure.

00:15:28.660 The government has on this.

00:15:30.680 So last, well, 2023, which is it's probably not the last year of reliable figures,

00:15:39.820 but it's the last one of reliable figures that I looked up.

00:15:41.700 So 3,612 enforced returns.

00:15:48.240 So less than 4,000.

00:15:50.380 What was it 10 years earlier than that?

00:15:53.880 13,000.

00:15:55.720 Right.

00:15:56.200 So even with all of this focus on illegal immigration, they managed to quarter, more than quarter, the amount of returns going back.

00:16:10.240 Clearly, the government has no will to enforce this.

00:16:13.800 And that is the problem.

00:16:16.440 And tens of thousands of asylum seekers, you know, well, not even asylum, illegal immigrants.

00:16:22.800 They're just people who come over on regular visas.

00:16:24.060 Hundreds of thousands just come over on regular visas and then just outstay it.

00:16:27.200 So we've now got into the situation where we've got these over 100,000 illegal immigrants now in hotels,

00:16:34.220 and that's costing us £8 million a day.

00:16:37.860 Digital ID does not fix that.

00:16:40.700 Policy does.

00:16:41.960 The willingness to enforce existing policy and to leave the ECHR, the European Court of Human Rights,

00:16:49.680 to get out of that and just have the will to do it.

00:16:53.940 And you've got all of the tools you already need.

00:16:55.500 Now, this has got Tony Blair's fingerprints all over it, this scheme.

00:17:00.600 He tried to bring in ID, not digital ID, but regular ID, ID cards in 2000.

00:17:06.280 And at this time, because the big issue was counterterrorism, he sold it as a counterterrorism mechanism.

00:17:16.000 Why was it being sold as counterterrorism back then?

00:17:18.520 And it's to stop illegal migration now.

00:17:20.840 It's just because whatever happens to be at the top of the news cycle, that is a justification that you're given.

00:17:27.420 Now, he spent £6 billion on it, and it was scrapped in 2010 because there was a massive public backlash.

00:17:34.780 People started to understand that this was a nonsense.

00:17:37.860 Are you really going to be willing to arrest little old ladies who have gone to the shops who left their ID card at home, or maybe they don't want one? 0.97

00:17:50.440 Are you willing to do that?

00:17:52.280 Well, if you're not, then the thing is pointless.

00:17:54.340 I mean, that's how we got rid of ID cards in this country before, post-Second World War.

00:18:00.040 I'll come on to that.

00:18:01.140 So, you know, he was abandoned after spending £6 billion on it.

00:18:05.380 And Tony Blair is not the sort of crypt creature that suffers failure.

00:18:11.140 And he has been brewing on this for the last 15 years.

00:18:18.560 He has not let this go.

00:18:20.760 So he went off and he created the Tony Blair Institute, which is basically a way where he gets to be in charge of just about every government everywhere.

00:18:30.440 I mean, literally, when he sat on the stage at Davos and referred to his presidents, the presidents that worked for him.

00:18:37.480 And he's got a lot of African ones, but, you know, he expands as broadly as he's got a bunch of Middle East ones.

00:18:44.000 I mean, he basically, you know, if you're president or prime minister or somewhere, I mean, he'll put you in his pocket quite happily and then you can take his orders.

00:18:51.540 And it's extraordinary how he's been able to do this.

00:18:54.700 But, you know, he is quite good at this whole politics stuff.

00:18:58.180 He created the Tony Blair Institute, which is funded by big tech.

00:19:02.340 And basically the goal of it is to take over a country or to put a president in your pocket.

00:19:07.480 And then you go in there and you start selling digital infrastructure.

00:19:13.680 So you take out a massive loan.

00:19:16.680 You won't actually see that money.

00:19:18.000 It will go straight to my big tech friends and then you'll get an app or, you know, you'll get a bit of database something.

00:19:24.360 I mean, well, you won't get it.

00:19:25.640 I mean, it will all be hosted outside of your country.

00:19:29.380 But you'll get all this digital stuff and it will allow you to be a proper government and then you can attend events and then you can say all the right things about how we're combating people being straight or, you know, eating steaks or, you know, using too much carbon or whatever the great evil at the time is.

00:19:45.720 You know, we're combating it and we've got this app thing that we bought from the Tony Blair Institute.

00:19:50.940 That's how it works.

00:19:52.160 And you have to appreciate the functionality creep that will occur if he gets his way and he gets these digital IDs.

00:20:00.640 So straight away, these digital ID cards that apparently is just it's just a check when you sign up to work.

00:20:08.260 That's what he's saying.

00:20:08.920 When you take out a new job, you just need to check the ID.

00:20:11.780 That's the only thing it's for.

00:20:12.760 It will immediately go into banking.

00:20:14.700 It will.

00:20:15.580 And why do I say that?

00:20:18.040 Because Sweden, Denmark and Singapore, they already had that.

00:20:21.900 They had a very limited digital ID brought in immediately.

00:20:25.780 Now it's tied to banking.

00:20:27.620 It will be tied to health care access, you know, as in the Anderha digital ID system in India or indeed as our own NHS COVID pass.

00:20:37.400 It will be used for, you know, rations when it gets that bad, pensions, hospital entry, all of those things.

00:20:46.140 Voting participation.

00:20:47.360 Again, I can give you the example of Ukraine's D-I-I-A, however the hell you pronounce that bloody thing. 0.96

00:20:56.080 So in Ukraine, they brought in digital ID immediately used for voting.

00:21:00.860 I mean, if it was only that, I mean, I could possibly get on board with it.

00:21:03.860 But no, it's not.

00:21:04.920 Transport, China, brought in digital IDs, immediately linked it to transport.

00:21:10.980 So if you are a political dissident, you can't buy a plane ticket or a train ticket or hotel.

00:21:16.260 You're basically locked down into your local area.

00:21:20.640 Internet access.

00:21:21.860 That is something that the EU is proposing for their digital ID system.

00:21:26.980 And China, of course, are already doing that. 0.63

00:21:30.500 So with all of these things, the functionality creep happens very quickly after you get into all this stuff.

00:21:37.580 Not the government will be doing any of this stuff, of course, because it's incompetent and it can't.

00:21:41.600 But that's where the Tony Blair Institute comes in, in that he's got all these big tech backers who he will pass the contract to.

00:21:52.380 Interestingly, it turns out his own son decided to go into tech, become a tech mogul.

00:21:59.680 And he stands to benefit in billions from this as well.

00:22:03.340 I mean, what a bloody remarkable coincidence that is.

00:22:06.480 So what about what about the Tony Blair speech to the World Economic Forum, Davos, in 2021?

00:22:16.400 He said, digital IDs will become the new normal, a natural progression from the COVID pass.

00:22:27.120 So that's his attitude.

00:22:28.660 This is normal.

00:22:29.380 It's happening.

00:22:30.320 Deal with it.

00:22:31.720 There was a Home Office report in 2019 off the back of an earlier piece of work that the World Economic Forum had done.

00:22:38.540 And they said the scale of illegal working is unknown but significant.

00:22:43.220 Employers often evade checks.

00:22:45.140 Well, they can avoid these checks as well.

00:22:48.640 You know, the takeaway deliveries, they're going to continue to pay cash.

00:22:53.140 This isn't going to work.

00:22:55.320 Even back in 2006, civil liberty campaigners were against this stuff, warning that, you know, it wasn't going to prevent terrorism.

00:23:01.860 Correct.

00:23:03.000 But it will erode the privacy of the law-abiding majority.

00:23:07.100 They were absolutely right about all of that stuff.

00:23:09.200 Right.

00:23:12.920 If it really wants to care about illegals, 0.99

00:23:14.660 and I've covered this previously, but I'll quickly recap it here.

00:23:17.560 Leave the ECHR so you can actually deport people.

00:23:21.440 You need an offshore processing for migrants. 0.93

00:23:26.140 Australia do this with a little island called Nauru or something like that.

00:23:29.420 And, you know, we've got St. Helena's.

00:23:32.180 We've got the Falklands.

00:23:33.380 There's a whole bunch of places where we could put up some barbed wire, a few tents, stick people there.

00:23:39.080 Suddenly they will discover that it's not so interesting getting into the country.

00:23:42.620 And then just use the huge array of existing powers.

00:23:48.140 That's how you stop illegal immigration.

00:23:49.840 Nothing to do with bloody digital IDs.

00:23:51.480 It's just a Trojan horse.

00:23:53.180 Right.

00:23:54.420 Bigger agenda.

00:23:55.140 Look at the UN Sustainable Development Goals, what they used to call 2030.

00:24:04.980 But then everybody started saying, oh, it's part of a 2030 plan.

00:24:08.200 So they scrapped it and decided to bring in something which didn't trip off the tongue as well.

00:24:11.560 So instead of saying 2030, we now have to say Sustainable Development Goals.

00:24:14.920 Look in particular at Section 16.9.

00:24:19.320 By 2030, providing legal identity for all, including births and registrations.

00:24:26.360 So the moment you're born, you get linked to a digital ID.

00:24:29.600 And then everything you do from that point on is tracked and linked and fed back to the government.

00:24:35.380 And they also say in that report, the digital ID will be a prerequisite for accessing services, finance and mobility.

00:24:45.820 So they're just outright saying you won't be able to access services.

00:24:49.740 You won't be able to travel.

00:24:51.500 You won't be able to buy anything unless it's linked to your digital ID.

00:24:54.920 It is total control.

00:24:57.520 And they frame this as inclusive society and sustainable development.

00:25:03.040 I mean, they pad it.

00:25:06.720 I mean, they put out a chapter heading about sustainable development or, you know, inclusive society.

00:25:13.100 And then every point under it is just about, yeah, total control.

00:25:20.060 And it's all so open and it's so obvious.

00:25:23.740 They're not even hiding this stuff.

00:25:25.940 It's just they know that nobody's going to look.

00:25:28.960 So in reality, this is going to become a gateway for banking, health care, education, travel, leisure, I mean, everything, really.

00:25:38.660 The same UN report talks about digital ecosystems as part of the public good.

00:25:47.000 What do they mean by public good?

00:25:48.920 What's good for the elites?

00:25:50.600 Right.

00:25:50.960 Let's go on to the World Bank and the IMF.

00:25:55.080 So there was a society called ID4D, which was funded by the Bill Gates Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, and a whole bunch of other sort of globalist organizations.

00:26:11.500 And their explicit goal, and again, you can just go and read this stuff on the website.

00:26:16.480 They're not hiding it.

00:26:17.420 They're perfectly open about all of this, is to force link finance to digital ID and government services.

00:26:25.420 They're just linking it all up.

00:26:27.460 And they're providing, according to them, support to 100 countries to get this implemented, which is why it's popping up all over the place at the same time.

00:26:36.740 They're talking about digital public infrastructure.

00:26:41.640 They call it DPI.

00:26:43.940 And it's talking about putting in a stack of digital ID, CBDCs, and data sharing.

00:26:52.420 And it's sold as efficiency.

00:26:55.940 But when you get into this stuff, it's all about, what do they call it, a global, no, an interoperable global identity financial layer.

00:27:06.740 Tying you and everything about you to your ID, and then the government owns all of that data.

00:27:17.260 And the IMF is pushing this.

00:27:19.520 I mean, all the globalist organizations are pushing this as, you know, their aspect is we want to get interoperability standards.

00:27:26.140 So that your digital ID and your central bank digital currency can be operable across borders.

00:27:34.260 Because, of course, they don't want to control.

00:27:35.920 They don't want there to be any escape routes from this.

00:27:39.560 That's why it has to be stopped in every country.

00:27:41.960 If you don't stop it everywhere,

00:27:43.240 what you'll find is you'll end up needing to get one anyway, if you ever want to travel anywhere. 0.95

00:27:53.740 Or escape some other tyrannical shit that's going on in your own country.

00:27:59.100 Let's turn to the BIS, Bank of International Settlements, the final boss of globalist organizations. 0.98

00:28:04.720 It's not Davos, Bank of International Settlements.

00:28:06.580 I'm convinced they sit at the top of the pile in all this.

00:28:12.940 The dark powers that control them is probably a subject for another video that might get me cancelled.

00:28:20.680 So I won't go into that at this time.

00:28:24.480 Again, in their reports, very open about this.

00:28:27.220 Identity is central in the design of central bank digital currencies,

00:28:30.620 where they can control your every single purchase.

00:28:32.500 And they explicitly reject any anonymity.

00:28:37.440 So they say, I mean, how do they put it?

00:28:38.860 The BIS rejects a token-based central bank digital currency that would enable anonymity.

00:28:44.320 Interestingly, they're actually designing two types of central bank digital currencies.

00:28:49.420 What they call the standard one, the CBDC, which you will use,

00:28:53.880 which has no privacy and every purchase you make will be fed back to government.

00:28:58.440 And a wholesale central bank digital currency, which the banks and big organizations

00:29:04.260 and presumably the elites will be using.

00:29:08.040 Funnily enough, that layer has anonymity at its core.

00:29:13.600 So it's privacy for them and none for you.

00:29:17.840 Let me give you some bits from their report.

00:29:20.560 A central bank digital currency built on digital identification

00:29:24.860 could improve cross-border payments and limit the risk of currency substitution.

00:29:32.240 What do they mean there?

00:29:33.420 They mean we've got to stop Bitcoin.

00:29:37.660 That's exactly what they mean.

00:29:40.500 If you're able to use money, which is outside the purview of the state,

00:29:44.720 that moves power from the state to the individual.

00:29:48.720 And so they can't risk currency substitution, which is the rise of Bitcoin.

00:29:54.860 They're not quite that blatant in their reports, but that's what they're trying to do.

00:30:00.500 But I was listening to a podcast by Guy Wildback who does something in financial services

00:30:06.340 and he's not a central banker.

00:30:08.480 But for whatever reason, he gets invited to these conferences that central bankers do.

00:30:17.040 And during COVID, of course, it all had to be done online.

00:30:20.600 So rather than having a conference and then the central bankers would go off into a room

00:30:24.820 to have a chat about the truly dark stuff, they kind of did it all online

00:30:29.980 and they just kind of forgot that there were non-central bankers in the call.

00:30:36.600 And this guy said, after a while, these guys just started openly saying,

00:30:40.160 yeah, Bitcoin is going to end us.

00:30:41.480 We need to seize control of money before that thing takes over everything. 1.00

00:30:50.220 Central bankers are well aware of the risk.

00:30:52.960 And that's why I've got so little patience of people who keep telling me that Bitcoin is a scam

00:31:00.660 or it's from the CIA or it's a control mechanism.

00:31:04.620 These guys are terrified of it.

00:31:07.560 They're absolutely terrified.

00:31:08.900 They are well aware that they cannot exist alongside it long time.

00:31:14.020 And they are going to try and seize control before it becomes too well established.

00:31:19.740 So, I mean, I'll come to it over the, especially the conclusion of this episode.

00:31:25.620 It is all about delay.

00:31:29.240 Adopt Bitcoin faster than they can shut it out and delay them on this stuff

00:31:34.720 so that we've got a chance of having a free future rather than one that is controlled by these people.

00:31:42.920 So, yeah, explicitly saying they want account-based, so tied to your digital ID,

00:31:48.080 it gives them full visibility and control.

00:31:50.840 They will be able to do anything to you.

00:31:56.020 They're going to say individual monetary policy.

00:32:00.720 So, you know, you have, you know, high interest rates for everybody and, you know, standard tax rates.

00:32:09.200 And then they say, okay, well, disadvantaged communities, you know, whatever.

00:32:17.080 It won't be white men. 0.73

00:32:18.380 So, put it, it won't be white men that are disadvantaged.

00:32:22.200 You get a preferable interest rate.

00:32:24.160 You get a lower tax rate.

00:32:25.440 You get a higher interest rate.

00:32:28.540 You've said things that we don't agree with.

00:32:31.920 And therefore, the cost of governing you is higher.

00:32:34.780 And therefore, you're going to have a less favorable interest rate.

00:32:38.700 You're going to have a higher tax rate, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

00:32:42.200 You know, your money will expire, all of this stuff.

00:32:44.520 But I played a clip on the segment that I did on the podcast about this with Augustine Carstens or something, Baron Carston or whatever his name was.

00:32:59.260 And he's a general man.

00:33:00.640 He's a top dog at the BIS.

00:33:02.340 And he said, with CBDCs, the central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that determine the use and the expression of money.

00:33:15.280 And we will have a technology to enforce that.

00:33:17.400 So basically saying he can do anything he wants, wants this stuff in, can control any purchase, make your money expire, set whatever rates for you, individual, monetary and fiscal policy, down to the level of the individual,

00:33:32.260 depending on whether they're a favored group or whether they're dissenters or whatever it is.

00:33:40.340 160 countries around the world today are developing digital IDs.

00:33:46.060 160 countries, 100 and bloody 60 of them.

00:33:49.620 And it's all being pushed at this sort of transnational globalist level.

00:33:56.080 There is an EU directive.

00:33:58.660 I can't remember the name of it.

00:34:00.100 It's some long string of letters.

00:34:03.220 But every EU citizen will have a digital identity by 2026.

00:34:12.060 So that's what this is.

00:34:12.580 So you can see why the UK is doing it now.

00:34:14.020 Why it's just been handed down.

00:34:17.420 Why it came out of the blue.

00:34:18.660 Why Keir Stom was like, he's just been told.

00:34:21.420 He's been ordered.

00:34:23.280 The EU is getting this done by 2026.

00:34:25.600 And Britain has to keep up.

00:34:28.380 The G20, the IMF, been pushing public digital infrastructure for years.

00:34:34.120 If you read anything coming out of them, they describe it as the rails for development, finance and basically everything.

00:34:43.940 They want to control the rails.

00:34:45.240 Basically, they want to control everything that lets you do anything.

00:34:47.680 That's what they mean by rails.

00:34:48.700 Let's look at some of the global abuses and ridiculousness of some where this has been used before, because the examples are legion.

00:34:59.400 So India, they got their Andahar system, whatever it is.

00:35:02.960 And that's, I mean, it starts off with a 12 digit code that, you know, the government keeps, but you access it via iris and fingerprint.

00:35:14.020 Multiple, I mean, to the point of many waves of famine have occurred of this thing, because, you know, there's some error in the system and pensioners or those who are desperately poor, they don't get their rice.

00:35:32.040 And it has led to many, many documented cases of starvation in India.

00:35:38.720 Computer error, and it used to be that you go to your little rice man, whatever, and he would know you and he would know you're on the, you know, the assistance program and he would give you your rice. 0.86

00:35:51.240 And if the documentation was a bit iffy that week or got chewed by rats or didn't turn up or damp or whatever it was, he would know you and he'd give you some rice.

00:36:02.160 Whereas when all this stuff went digital, it was just, you know, file corrupted, computer says, no, whatever it was, no, you're not getting your rice.

00:36:12.340 Caused a mini famine in India when this stuff was rolled out and didn't work properly.

00:36:18.640 Well, and also, for about 10 quid, the equivalent of 10 quid, Indian journalists realised that they could get themselves put on it and then get free rice.

00:36:34.860 So, you know, whoever does the data entry, you bung them 10 quid and they'll stick you on it.

00:36:41.620 So it's a porous, crappy system.

00:36:45.820 I can't just talk about India, though.

00:36:47.160 So Estonia, they call it EID, little E and then dash big ID.

00:36:56.720 They had to do an emergency patch on that recently after they realised there was a gaping bloody tech hole in it.

00:37:03.080 And to the best of their knowledge, they managed to fix it before basically all of the data was stripped out.

00:37:10.840 But, I mean, who knows?

00:37:12.680 Maybe somebody did copy all the data.

00:37:15.880 It was a massive honeypot, this stuff.

00:37:19.540 And so it paralysed the nation while they were having to do these emergency fixes because they realised it was wide open.

00:37:25.800 China, obvious example, digital IDs, mandatory for buying a SIM card, for accessing the internet, for transport.

00:37:37.160 Oh, and they've got social credit scores laid in as well, which will be another thing that this does is, you know, you start with the score, whatever it is, 100.

00:37:46.240 And every time you say something that pisses off the government, you lose some points.

00:37:48.760 Or whatever it is that you do that they don't like, you know, you lose some points.

00:37:52.840 And then the subtle genius of the social credit scores, it links who you are close to, your family members.

00:37:59.420 And if they are near you or if they're associated with you, they lose points as well.

00:38:06.500 So if you are going to be a dissident, you have to not only be willing to sacrifice yourself to the mission, you need to be willing to sacrifice everybody else around you, your entire family and French group.

00:38:19.800 You know, you've got to burn it all to be a dissident, which could have an interesting cascade effect if they really piss people off enough.

00:38:27.580 But normally it's enough because even if somebody is personally willing to be brave, they're not willing to, you know, cut everybody they know and their entire family out of society at the same time for their own stance.

00:38:41.060 Denmark, MIT, MIT ID or something like that they've got, needed for banking, healthcare, taxes.

00:38:52.840 It's had multiple outages, which locks people out of out of banking and medical services and, you know, everything that they need it linked to.

00:39:04.080 And the authorities admitted, yeah, there's major flaws in this and a whole swathes of people are unable to access daily life.

00:39:11.340 But, you know, digital ID is more important.

00:39:13.560 So, you know, if there is a system crash, you know, you're just going to have to, you know, bloody well deal with it.

00:39:20.680 Singapore, SingPass, they've got.

00:39:25.300 You need to access banking and housing, pay your taxes and healthcare.

00:39:32.860 Forresters have already hacked this one.

00:39:35.620 They've changed official addresses.

00:39:37.600 They've opened so they can change your address.

00:39:40.320 Well, they can make themselves the owner of your home.

00:39:43.640 They've opened bank accounts and phone lines in victim's name.

00:39:49.160 You know, it shows once you have a digital ID, people can hack it and they just take over your life.

00:39:54.780 And the first thing you bloody know is when the police turn up to evict you from your own home because, you know, you're not the legal owner of it anymore.

00:40:01.380 Your bank accounts are emptied or, you know, loans have been taken out in your name, as happened in Singapore.

00:40:07.280 Well, Belgium, EID, a bit like the Estonian one, but without a dash.

00:40:16.940 Smart card for any state services.

00:40:20.640 Retailers have been liberally fined for, you know, failures to comply with the stuff.

00:40:29.240 So now you need to show it for things like a bloody loyalty card.

00:40:36.600 And it shows how quickly firms will piggyback onto the stuff.

00:40:40.080 It's like, oh, it's not worth resisting.

00:40:42.120 Now, if you even want a loyalty card or whatever, we're just going to link it straight to the digital ID.

00:40:50.000 So function creep is inevitable and will be pushed and will be welcome.

00:40:54.200 Sweden, they've got a bank ID.

00:40:59.540 So obviously this one is linked to your bank account.

00:41:05.860 And basically what happens in Sweden is if you are in any way associated with things that the government doesn't like, you just get debanked.

00:41:14.840 Regulators have even got to the point where the regulators are having to step in and say to the banks, look, you're closing far too many accounts.

00:41:27.940 You know, you're supposed to go after people we don't like, but you can't do it too much because it becomes a bit bloody obvious.

00:41:34.540 If you're a nationalist, if you're pro-Sweden in Sweden, which is a bizarre concept, yes, I know.

00:41:43.820 But just imagine whatever woke country that you're in.

00:41:47.480 If you're pro your own country, you're an enemy of the state.

00:41:53.100 And so loads of nationalists get the wokesters just go running off to the bank and say, oh, that person is a nationalist.

00:42:00.640 He's pro-Sweden in Sweden.

00:42:02.260 And then the banks go, oh, that's not good.

00:42:05.200 That's not good, is it?

00:42:05.920 And then they debank them.

00:42:07.940 Right.

00:42:09.800 It's depersoning them.

00:42:11.320 They can't pay their rent.

00:42:12.300 They can't buy food.

00:42:14.120 They're just they're just out of the system.

00:42:16.180 Rife in Sweden.

00:42:18.140 I mentioned Ukraine with their Dahlia, whatever the hell, however you pronounce it, system. 0.98

00:42:24.920 Replaced the existing ID.

00:42:27.620 It replaced driving license.

00:42:28.740 It placed passports, vaccination proof.

00:42:31.040 Incredibly brittle, authoritarian infrastructure there.

00:42:37.000 Ethiopia's got their FADA system, banking and services already being used for ethnic profiling.

00:42:47.600 So, yeah, you could have another Rwanda type situation before that, a lot before long. 1.00

00:42:52.700 And, you know, you don't have to, you know, guess whether they were Tutsi or whatever the other one were, Hutu. 0.57

00:42:59.060 I mean, I know it's different in Ethiopia, but all the same, ethnic profiling was like one of the first things they did with it. 0.72

00:43:04.060 So, everywhere that this has been rolled out, it has been an authoritarian mess and nightmare.

00:43:12.540 We cannot stand to let this get rolled out in the UK.

00:43:20.460 We must stop it.

00:43:21.840 We must, at the very least, find every mechanism to delay it.

00:43:27.040 Because if this goes through, I mean, it's just the bloody end.

00:43:30.740 It really is.

00:43:31.860 So, let's quickly talk about what it actually is.

00:43:35.840 Ultimately, it's a big, big centralized database.

00:43:37.900 You get a unique digital identifier, some string of probably 12, 13, 14 numbers, something like that.

00:43:45.400 And then that's what matters from then on, those numbers, not you, the number.

00:43:52.580 It will be linked to biometrics as fast as possible.

00:43:55.460 So, it could be fingerprints.

00:43:56.800 It could be iris scans.

00:43:58.140 It could be a facial scan.

00:43:59.500 It probably will be a facial scan.

00:44:00.920 And they'll ask you to submit a phone.

00:44:04.320 Or more likely, when you get the app, it will be like, okay, take a photo of your face now from two different angles.

00:44:09.080 Or it will be pan the phone around your face to build up a biometric profile.

00:44:14.140 And then if you've ever been to a protest, it will immediately link because they've been gathering that biometric details for years.

00:44:23.860 Or if you, I mean, a bit of do with CCTV.

00:44:26.660 I mean, if you, I mean, they just track where everybody is, where everybody's been, who you associate with, all that kind of stuff.

00:44:35.980 It will be a gateway to, you know, accessing banking and financing and voting.

00:44:40.980 And travelers have already demonstrated all of those other countries.

00:44:43.180 I mean, it will just come immediately.

00:44:44.880 It will be linked to pensions, SIM cards, internet access, the whole thing.

00:44:48.960 Central bank digital currency.

00:44:50.140 What's that?

00:44:50.340 I mean, I have done a Brokernomics on that before.

00:44:58.080 You basically have no money.

00:44:59.680 All of the money, all of the money sits with the central bank and you are temporarily granted permission to use a token of the central bank's money.

00:45:12.780 But it's entirely under their control base.

00:45:16.420 You won't take any possession of it.

00:45:24.500 It will be account linked to your digital ID sitting on their servers.

00:45:31.440 So in order to have anything, your perception of having money will be to log into your account through your phone.

00:45:42.240 It links to the central bank and it will see how much money that you've been granted the use of temporarily.

00:45:49.460 And that will be wealth in the future.

00:45:51.700 It won't be anything that you can physically take charge of.

00:45:55.540 And yes, I know a lot of people leave their money in the banks, but you can always put it out into cash.

00:45:59.280 You can always put it in gold.

00:46:00.500 You can take possession of it.

00:46:02.960 You will not be able to take possession of a central bank digital currency because it all lives on the central bank servers.

00:46:08.660 And then they can attach any rules or permissions or restrictions that they wish to it.

00:46:14.220 So you have to understand that digital IDs are the key and central bank digital currencies are the lock.

00:46:21.680 You get to this point, they won't even need police because it can just all be done by computer.

00:46:29.620 Oh, you're behaving in a way that we don't like.

00:46:31.440 But rather than having to send the cops around at 3 a.m., at 3 a.m., your ability to bank will just be switched off.

00:46:41.960 And then you'll find out at some point that, presumably the next day, that you've been depersoned because the state doesn't like you anymore.

00:46:52.860 All the kind of stuff you can do about it.

00:46:54.260 I mentioned some of this, but it gives them a toolkit for programmable money.

00:47:00.180 So anything that you can imagine on this, money expiring.

00:47:03.460 So it wouldn't be a surprise to me in 30 years' time, you get to the point where you get your paycheck paid in and it's all got a 30-day expiry.

00:47:11.160 Consume or it will be expired by the end of the month.

00:47:16.780 They can put caps on buying meat, carbon, alcohol.

00:47:21.820 Yeah, you'll get a carbon allowance, you'll get a calorie limit, you know, gambling caps, anything they don't like.

00:47:33.300 Only the consumption that they like.

00:47:35.640 And it won't allow much, by the way, of asset gathering, of course, because as we know with this stuff,

00:47:41.560 the whole goal is that you will owe nothing and you will be happy.

00:47:45.000 That is the goal.

00:47:48.560 Geofencing.

00:47:50.880 They already tried to push 15-minute cities.

00:47:53.460 We had a big thing on here about resisting 15-minute cities.

00:47:58.440 A lot of content creators went hard on this.

00:48:00.460 A lot of people pushed back on this.

00:48:02.320 And they stood back on their plans to introduce 15-minute cities.

00:48:06.100 But with this, they can bring it back.

00:48:07.960 And they can just say, yeah, you're geo-fenced to your local area.

00:48:15.600 There you go.

00:48:17.320 You're limited to that.

00:48:18.120 You can't move around.

00:48:19.440 It would be like Oxford, but worse.

00:48:22.060 Selective freezings.

00:48:24.000 So people they don't like.

00:48:25.460 Dissidence has happened a lot in Canada.

00:48:29.540 In Canada, people went to protest.

00:48:31.260 Or some people just donated money to the protesters.

00:48:33.940 And they were debanked.

00:48:35.860 Selective freezing people.

00:48:37.140 That was happening in Sweden today under their digital ID system.

00:48:40.680 That would happen.

00:48:42.660 Also, you have to remember, this is a massive surveillance honeypot.

00:48:47.200 So every purchase, every movement, every communication,

00:48:52.860 because your internet access and accounts and symphony

00:48:56.200 will get linked to this very quickly,

00:48:57.640 as I showed with those other countries.

00:48:59.720 We'll all be linked to this.

00:49:01.740 All of that is going into a government database.

00:49:05.440 Massive levels of surveillance.

00:49:07.140 Medical history will get linked in.

00:49:09.980 Political history, travel records, anything like that.

00:49:13.200 Whoever owns this data owns ultimate power, really.

00:49:19.620 As a distant movement, how would you even start to fight back against something like this

00:49:23.200 when your opponent is so massively over-equipped against you?

00:49:28.980 They know everything, and you're working with incredibly sparse information.

00:49:35.540 Also, of course, it creates a massive single point of failure.

00:49:40.160 One hack, and it's all out.

00:49:42.320 I'm recording this on the morning.

00:49:44.400 The Games Workshop, the people who do the Warhammer 40k, the little model things,

00:49:49.880 they got hacked or were leaked or something like that,

00:49:52.960 and all of their models, their entire revenue stream was just pushed out onto the internet.

00:50:01.100 Why wouldn't that happen with this?

00:50:02.440 It would.

00:50:02.760 All the time, some civil service twat goes on a train and leaves his laptop on the train and just leaks.

00:50:13.400 At one time, I remember it was classified details on submarines, specs on submarines or something,

00:50:20.600 and then the Royal Navy was reduced to ringing around all the dissident journalists and saying,

00:50:28.940 do you have it?

00:50:30.640 And if you do, can we have it back?

00:50:36.200 You know, this comes through.

00:50:39.780 In the future, you try buying a train ticket.

00:50:44.740 The purchase will just fail when you try and make payment for it

00:50:48.300 because you've been flagged for hateful content or hateful opinions or something like that.

00:50:55.140 The supermarket till, the digital till, will call the little assistant person over and say,

00:51:00.900 too many items of meat in the basket.

00:51:04.400 Remove some to complete purchase.

00:51:07.300 Your savings will disappear.

00:51:08.880 Your fuel pump will refuse you if you've gone over your fuel limit.

00:51:13.020 Utter bloody tyranny.

00:51:14.700 Must be stopped.

00:51:15.400 A little bit of historical precedent for you.

00:51:19.280 I should probably mention that.

00:51:21.260 So, ID cards were introduced in Britain during World War II.

00:51:31.260 And they were abolished in 1952, which, as you will notice,

00:51:36.900 seven years after the end of Second World War,

00:51:38.800 because we were still a proper country back then.

00:51:43.720 But all the same, even back then,

00:51:47.560 even in bloody 1940s and early 1950s Britain,

00:51:51.340 once the government had got a power,

00:51:54.060 they really hate letting it go.

00:51:57.740 And what it came down to in the end is there was some chap,

00:52:01.140 you know, some normal chap,

00:52:02.100 and he was like, no, I'm not doing this.

00:52:04.380 And he started going about his ID card.

00:52:07.640 And he got stopped driving somewhere by the police.

00:52:11.100 And they demanded to see his ID card.

00:52:12.500 He's like, no, no, I'm not doing it.

00:52:15.080 It's fundamentally un-British. 0.88

00:52:17.700 What did he say?

00:52:19.540 That's not what we do.

00:52:20.900 And, yeah, the state went to town on him.

00:52:24.620 The police arrested him,

00:52:26.900 dragged through the courts for two years.

00:52:29.200 But the message resonated.

00:52:31.580 No, it's not British. 0.82

00:52:32.440 It's not what we do.

00:52:34.140 And there was so much public support that, in the end,

00:52:36.940 I think it might have been Churchill who came back into government

00:52:40.640 and abolished it at that time.

00:52:43.660 But there was overwhelming public support that, no,

00:52:45.920 this is not what we do.

00:52:47.300 We cannot accept it.

00:52:48.620 It's fundamentally un-British. 0.88

00:52:51.540 So, yeah, we've had them before.

00:52:53.180 And then, of course, we have them again.

00:52:55.720 Blair's attempt in 2004.

00:52:58.160 He kept this up for six years, trying to push them through.

00:53:00.740 But the resistance was so relentless that even he had to drop it.

00:53:05.420 Again, as I said, linked to counterterrorism at the time.

00:53:08.560 And the COVID response, the NHS app.

00:53:12.620 If you try to go to the pub, they demand to see your NHS card.

00:53:16.440 I told you the story about trying to go to a school governor's meeting

00:53:18.920 or whatever the hell it was at the time.

00:53:20.320 And being asked to present it.

00:53:21.960 It's like, no, no, not doing this.

00:53:26.140 The powers will ratchet up.

00:53:29.400 Once a system is created, it never self-abolishes.

00:53:31.920 Yes, we did manage to get rid of it in 1952, the last time we sort of properly had this.

00:53:39.180 But it was a very different country back then.

00:53:40.740 And people had a sense and a purpose of Britishness that they simply don't have today.

00:53:44.020 And the state was less corrupt and awful than it is today.

00:53:49.680 So stopping this before it comes in is going to be a hell of a lot easier than getting rid of it after it comes in.

00:53:55.700 And the other thing is going to be tied into multi-billion pound contracts.

00:54:00.360 If Keir Starmer gets his through, he will just give a contract to these big tech companies for hundreds of billions that are payable over the next 30 years and are non-cancellable.

00:54:14.580 So somebody comes along and says, you know, if Nigel Farage is good to his word and the moment he gets elected, he immediately cancels them.

00:54:23.560 Well, the contract will be written in a way that these tech companies get their money anyway, which will be done in an attempt to make the cost of cancellation seem like it's completely unworth it.

00:54:34.480 So there's a tech integration.

00:54:38.220 Oh, and the security theatre.

00:54:40.180 Every new crisis, be it climate or terrorism or pandemics or whatever the next thing is, whatever's coming down the line, it's two years, four years, six years, there will be a story.

00:54:55.820 And that will be used to justify ramping up the system.

00:55:00.800 Now, the other argument I made is, look, I suspect if you're watching Brokonomics, you're not a massive fan of Keir Starmer.

00:55:11.960 Oh, I've just thought of a point I should make.

00:55:14.500 Look, it's got nothing to do with Keir Starmer.

00:55:17.220 But you would think that, let's say you had a penchant for hiring young Ukrainian male models, definitely not rent boys, male models.

00:55:27.320 You would implicitly understand the danger of having every transaction tracked.

00:55:33.320 Yes.

00:55:34.360 So nothing whatsoever to do with Keir Starmer, that bit.

00:55:37.700 It's anyway, I divert.

00:55:40.560 Where was I?

00:55:41.480 Oh, yes.

00:55:42.140 So, yeah, even if you don't trust Keir Starmer, if you're a lefty who somehow found yourself watching this, you do understand that future nationalist governments will get this. 0.89

00:55:53.200 And, OK, let's say you think that I'm awful, which, you know, is obviously a ridiculous opinion.

00:56:03.640 I'm great.

00:56:04.140 But if you did think that, and I'm well to the right of Nigel Farage, if I came into power and I had this, I would use it to mass support millions of people.

00:56:17.560 And it would give me, you could easily link it to ethnicity.

00:56:22.460 I mean, it's going to be linked to births and death register.

00:56:25.560 So you're just going to get that as a standard.

00:56:27.240 You'd be able to deport millions of people.

00:56:29.780 And also, all my political enemies, I'd be able to use all this power against them.

00:56:34.340 Anyone who speaks up, you know, the James O'Brien's and the Lewis Goodall's and the Alicia Kearns and all, you know, all the massive shitlibs that are out there.

00:56:43.620 I'd just be able to de-person them, debank them, take them off the internet.

00:56:47.380 And so if you're an authoritarian labour right, you have to be really, really, really bloody sure that the left is going to be in power forever.

00:57:01.320 And all you need to do is look at opinion polls today to see that you're not even going to be in power four years from now, if you can even make it through the next three budgets, which you probably won't.

00:57:12.660 So do you really want to be handing a right-wing nationalist government this sort of power over you?

00:57:17.620 Because, yes, you're going to abuse it against us from day one.

00:57:20.420 I understand.

00:57:20.980 And that's going to make you feel good.

00:57:22.540 But sooner or later, somebody like me is going to get the hands on power.

00:57:28.200 And if we have this, we are not going to hold back at hurting you in every way, because that's exactly what you have done to us forever.

00:57:37.220 And I'm fed up with this absolute bollocks about, you know, fair play and all the rest of it.

00:57:42.900 No, the left has shown us what they are.

00:57:48.040 They hurt us the moment they can.

00:57:50.200 And quite frankly, you know, I'm all for it now.

00:57:53.440 You set up the game.

00:57:55.140 You define the rules.

00:57:56.840 Fine.

00:57:57.480 We're playing it your way.

00:57:59.140 You don't want somebody like me having this control over you if you are leftists.

00:58:03.880 Right.

00:58:06.120 Oh, what was I talking about?

00:58:07.160 I was talking about ratchet effect, wasn't I?

00:58:08.520 I should finish my thought there.

00:58:13.860 Anti-terror laws passed after 9-11.

00:58:20.120 It was used against journalists, protesters, even petty crimes.

00:58:25.900 Even people who put their bloody bins out on the wrong day were getting anti-terror legislation used against them.

00:58:33.500 So there will be a ratchet in everything that we do.

00:58:36.940 The other part of the ratchet I should mention is probably China.

00:58:43.160 You know, it started off in China with just being a, you just need to attach your real name to a SIM registration.

00:58:50.480 It was an anti-fraud measure at the start.

00:58:54.740 Within a few years, it became a fully-fledged social credit system, controlling, you know, travel, finance, political behaviour.

00:59:03.560 That's where this stuff goes immediately.

00:59:12.600 Back in the day, the DPP, one of the Northern Ireland parties, they were quite good against this.

00:59:19.760 And there was a Lord MacDonald who said it threatened to make a surveillance society.

00:59:25.400 Absolutely right at the time.

00:59:26.920 David Davis, as I've already mentioned, he was very sound on this back in 2010.

00:59:30.960 And he described it, and he's quite right, as a solution looking for a problem.

00:59:38.300 Again, that's why it was billed as terrorism at the time, and now it's billed as migration.

00:59:47.440 Actually, I'll give you a quote from the Chinese state.

00:59:51.060 I mean, it's been translated, obviously.

00:59:52.460 But the quote is, discredited people should not be permitted to travel by plane or high-speed rail.

01:00:01.680 That was on some document I found from bloody China. 0.99

01:00:09.320 Just for the fun of it, we might as well dismantle.

01:00:12.560 It shouldn't take long, this bit.

01:00:14.020 Why it won't even work for the stated reason, which is illegal migration.

01:00:18.960 First of all, they'll just give digital IDs to the migrants.

01:00:24.260 It'll just be handed to them.

01:00:25.300 It will be.

01:00:26.580 They'll just get one.

01:00:28.140 And it might be flagged as saying illegal.

01:00:30.380 But if you're going to have a society where you can't do anything out of a digital ID,

01:00:34.920 of course they're going to give it to the illegal migrants, and it will let them buy stuff.

01:00:41.920 It'll just track them.

01:00:43.060 So it won't do anything for that.

01:00:44.360 But employers already know that they're hiring illegal migrants, and they just do it off the books.

01:00:53.300 It happens a lot in food delivery, but it happens a lot in construction and agriculture and hospitality

01:00:57.220 and all those sort of things.

01:00:58.680 They know.

01:01:00.180 They know perfectly well, and they just pay them cash in hand,

01:01:03.260 which I suppose is where the central bank digital currency thing comes in.

01:01:06.580 But they can pay them in other ways.

01:01:07.980 They can, you know, maybe not a bag of rice, but they will be able to find a way to pay people off the books

01:01:14.560 if people want to work and they want to hire illegals. 0.89

01:01:18.720 Or the other loop around this is what happens on Deliveroo.

01:01:23.620 So you get one guy sign up with legit credentials, but, you know, he's foreign. 0.52

01:01:32.300 And he's from that part of the world.

01:01:35.960 And then 200 more people from that part of the world turn up, and he shares his credentials with them.

01:01:41.280 And there's one case of a Deliveroo driver who had 200 people pretending to be him.

01:01:46.860 Most efficient bloody Deliveroo driver in the world, which is how they twigged it. 1.00

01:01:53.460 It's like, oh, this guy does a lot of deliveries, doesn't he?

01:01:55.280 Yeah, that's because there's 200 of him.

01:01:57.900 That one gone.

01:01:59.020 The Home Office already has the power to prosecute all of this stuff.

01:02:02.720 Hardly ever uses it because it's not a priority.

01:02:06.000 Coming after people like me at 3 a.m. because we tweeted something, that's their priority.

01:02:09.940 That's what they put their effort into.

01:02:11.220 They don't do any of this stuff.

01:02:14.200 So, yeah, back market, cash in hand, that will continue.

01:02:18.500 But on the flip side, people who just are like, no, they're the ones who are going to be excluded.

01:02:23.300 And there's already 1.7 million people in the UK who do not use a mobile phone.

01:02:29.860 Many, many more do use a mobile phone, but don't use a smartphone.

01:02:35.920 Not all of them.

01:02:36.680 They're just excluded.

01:02:37.540 They're just out.

01:02:39.940 The political dissidents and the elderly most at risk on this one.

01:02:46.080 It'll be an admin drag on businesses because now they've got to incorporate this into everything they do.

01:02:51.000 So, IT chaos, the numerous examples I gave you with other countries around the world, it doesn't bloody work.

01:02:59.560 It gets hacked.

01:03:00.400 It fails.

01:03:01.260 It's abused.

01:03:03.720 Or just IT failures in this country.

01:03:05.900 Look, so the NHS wasted something like $12 billion in the early 2000s on various schemes as it couldn't get off the ground.

01:03:14.000 Universal credit IT system trying to be rolled out.

01:03:21.940 It collapsed due to inefficiency.

01:03:28.220 With all of these state projects, there's always years of overruns and bugs and downtimes and billions of bloody wasted.

01:03:35.180 Oh, it creates a single point of failure.

01:03:38.820 That's the biggest thing.

01:03:39.760 As I showed my examples around the world, this happens all the time.

01:03:43.200 Central databases become a massive honeypot and they always get leaked or hacked because all of the data is there.

01:03:50.500 That is the most valuable thing.

01:03:52.840 So the hackers who are more talented than people looking after it, go for it.

01:03:57.260 I could recite a number of examples, but I gave it above, you know.

01:04:05.200 But bear in mind, right, once this stuff gets hacked, it's not like a bloody password.

01:04:10.060 You can't reset your fingerprints.

01:04:11.980 You can't reset your face scan or your iris scan. 0.87

01:04:16.240 Once it's hacked, you are screwed.

01:04:21.260 What else should we talk about? 0.99

01:04:23.880 Oh, yes.

01:04:24.660 Yes, let's get a bit more brokonomics with this.

01:04:27.700 We need to talk about the political economy of control is how I think about this.

01:04:36.040 Historically, governments have extracted power via taxation, which they've then used to buy hard power, police and military and all that kind of stuff.

01:04:44.500 In the digital era, data itself becomes the form of tax base.

01:04:49.540 It is the new rent that the state extracts from all citizens because it gives them that same level of control where every transaction is observable and taxable.

01:05:03.440 The state no longer needs to trust because it knows everything and it can skim data in real time.

01:05:12.740 It can apply fees to everything you do in real time.

01:05:16.840 VAT no longer requires a VAT submission from a retailer.

01:05:25.180 They just take it automatically at the time.

01:05:28.680 If they decide to bring in a wealth tax, they will know exactly how much wealth you have in every account.

01:05:35.580 Because every account would have long ago been forced to be linked to your digital ID or it would have been closed.

01:05:42.780 In Singapore, I think it was Singapore, they just closed 200,000 accounts because they weren't linked to digital IDs.

01:05:51.200 So, yep, 200,000 accounts gone, money in them gone.

01:05:54.040 So, you will have to register everything you own to this digital ID and then they will see absolutely your wealth levels.

01:06:04.520 And then, you know, Labour government or future Labour government or future social whatever will think,

01:06:09.080 oh, we need a wealth tax.

01:06:11.720 What level should we set it up?

01:06:14.060 Well, let's find the richest Labour MP and do it about 10 grand above that

01:06:18.840 and then just take 30% or whatever of everything above that as a wealth tax.

01:06:24.060 That will absolutely happen.

01:06:27.680 The other thing you've got to bear on, this is going to create a huge compliance industry in government and tech.

01:06:35.060 And then there's going to be a whole new bloody parasite class of auditors and IT firms and verification providers

01:06:42.840 that will take this digital ID and link it to, you know, a verification provision system at a shop or a bank.

01:06:50.340 It's going to create an enormous new parasite class, all of this.

01:06:55.340 And that already happened in financial services with know your customer stuff.

01:07:00.240 God, I had to spend hours going to training courses being lectured about know your customer stuff that came in after 2008.

01:07:08.620 Or was that?

01:07:09.900 No, that came in early.

01:07:10.760 That came in after 9-11. 0.60

01:07:12.840 Huge compliance culture, parasite class created off the back of that.

01:07:19.120 This will be the exact same.

01:07:21.280 Also, as per the Tony Blair Institute, you are fusing big tech and the state.

01:07:29.960 What we used to call fascism. 0.53

01:07:33.300 But now they call people who don't like children being murdered or raped. 0.98

01:07:36.500 They call those people fascists.

01:07:38.140 Whereas actually, if you know your history, fascism is actually the fusion of the state and big industry.

01:07:45.080 So now it's just the state and big tech.

01:07:47.320 Same thing.

01:07:49.960 So it'll be fascism. 0.68

01:07:51.300 But, you know, they will just...

01:07:53.240 They will call people who don't like it fascists instead.

01:07:56.180 Clever little flip.

01:07:57.840 Yeah.

01:07:58.400 Genius.

01:07:58.800 Big tech will basically just get guaranteed.

01:08:03.460 I mean, big tech effectively just becomes our feudal class, our lord class at that point.

01:08:11.700 And they have guaranteed contracts running in perpetuity on this stuff.

01:08:14.440 Financial leverage as political control, as we talked about.

01:08:21.420 You'll be debanked, depersoned, shut off if you don't like it.

01:08:26.440 Massive incentives for government expansion because now they know exactly how much they can extract,

01:08:32.400 exactly what they can control.

01:08:33.900 So they will metastasize to fill all of those power vacuums that now exist as a result of this better data.

01:08:43.200 And international agreements, the entire globalist class is lined up on this.

01:08:47.920 UN, G20, IMF, World Bank, Bank for International Settlements, World Economic Forum.

01:08:56.380 They're all aligned.

01:08:57.200 They're all marching in lockstep on this.

01:08:58.320 They're all pushing this in order to stop freedom and Bitcoin and all the rest of it.

01:09:03.900 So what's the alternative?

01:09:11.460 Is this actually inevitable or not?

01:09:15.680 At the moment we have cash, you know, it's resilient, it's anonymous.

01:09:23.020 They don't like it.

01:09:24.600 If you go to your bank in Britain and most countries today and you try and withdraw a reasonably large amount of money,

01:09:29.720 you have to provide an explanation as to why you want your money.

01:09:34.640 And if they don't like the explanation you give, they won't give it to you.

01:09:40.700 Multiple cases of that.

01:09:41.560 They just refuse.

01:09:42.400 They say, no, you're not taking it out of the bank if you haven't been able to provide an excuse which we deem acceptable.

01:09:48.400 If you say, I mean, funnily enough, they've never asked me.

01:09:51.940 I mean, I pull out big wads of cash, but for whatever reason, they don't ask me.

01:09:55.840 I don't know why. 0.99

01:09:56.800 But if they ever did, I'd say, I'm just going to blow it on coke and hookers. 1.00

01:09:59.920 And they would be fine with that because it's consumption. 0.99

01:10:02.600 And they're fine with that sort of stuff.

01:10:10.200 Cash has been falling out of practice.

01:10:13.880 So it was 60% of all transactions in 2008, which is not that long ago.

01:10:19.740 Now it's 14%.

01:10:21.140 So from 60% to 14% in the space of a bit over a decade.

01:10:27.920 Bloody impressive how they managed to sideline that.

01:10:32.600 The main alternative, of course, is Bitcoin and decentralised money.

01:10:37.240 Complete separation of state and money.

01:10:40.480 Just like it used to be in the good old days when you had gold and your feudal lord or whatever, your king.

01:10:48.140 Yes, the king put a lot of effort into getting as much gold as possible.

01:10:52.260 But they weren't fundamentally the same thing.

01:10:55.420 The king could not go to a computer and tap in some buttons and quantitatively ease himself more gold.

01:10:59.760 When he ran out of gold, he ran out of gold.

01:11:01.520 And when you started to get parliaments and all the rest of it, kings had to go and ask very nicely and provide a good justification to the parliament as to why they should be given more gold to launch a war.

01:11:17.600 And if you were good at it, if you were like a Henry the, what was it, Henry V, was it, or was it the second?

01:11:22.880 I don't know.

01:11:23.340 I don't know history.

01:11:24.280 But anyway, one of the Henrys, he was really bloody good at invading France.

01:11:29.400 Top chap.

01:11:30.480 And so parliament was like, yep, you want to invade France.

01:11:33.540 You're going to get a load of gold because you're always going to come back with more.

01:11:36.940 And also you're going to beat the French, which is probably the most important thing. 0.99

01:11:39.580 Whereas the net kings, those who are a bit crap at it, they're just like, no, no, you're not getting any gold because you'll waste it.

01:11:48.160 And that's the discipline that Bitcoin would impose on the state. 0.74

01:11:51.840 We could withhold money from them because the two are fundamentally disconnected and they desperately want to stop it.

01:11:59.040 The other thing that I should mention is zero knowledge proofs, because I actually believe that there is a case for digital ID.

01:12:06.040 We're living in an increasingly digital world and you don't want to get into a situation where people can impersonate you at will.

01:12:12.460 So there is absolutely a need for digital IDs.

01:12:17.020 But I think a bit like Bitcoin, it should be separated from the state.

01:12:21.880 And there is technology being developed.

01:12:24.560 Well, it's basically there.

01:12:25.960 It's not quite game ready yet like Bitcoin is, but that's because there's a bit of a less of a focus on it.

01:12:33.240 But it could be there very soon.

01:12:35.820 Of these zero knowledge proofs, which are a little bit like Bitcoin, but for ID.

01:12:41.320 I mean, it's all tied up with cryptography.

01:12:44.940 But it allows you to be the master of your data and control it and decide who it goes to.

01:12:52.440 And the more important thing with that is it allows you to verify whether a thing is true without handing over your data.

01:13:01.200 So a very simplistic example.

01:13:03.100 Let's say you're a teenage girl who goes to a nightclub and the bouncer wants to verify that you're over 18.

01:13:09.860 Well, she has to show him where he lives, where she lives.

01:13:12.400 She has to hand over an ID with her address on it.

01:13:14.880 Otherwise, she's not getting in.

01:13:17.340 So she wants to verify that she's 18, but she actually ends up showing the bouncer where she lives.

01:13:23.560 With a zero knowledge proof, you will be able to verify a statement such as I am over 18 without revealing any other data.

01:13:31.940 You'll be able to do it by just verifying this is true or not.

01:13:35.280 But I'm not going to get into any depth on how they work.

01:13:41.940 Super, super dumbed down version.

01:13:45.460 Imagine that you're doing one of those books.

01:13:49.400 Well, where's Wally?

01:13:51.240 I think in America they call it Where's Waldo or something.

01:13:53.760 But you know the ones.

01:13:55.040 You open the book.

01:13:55.820 It's a big, big like A3 double-sided thing.

01:13:59.520 And it's got these little people all over this scene.

01:14:02.540 And then one of them is Wally or Waldo or whatever it is in your country.

01:14:07.080 And the whole game is you've got to find the guy.

01:14:10.900 Now, imagine you're in a household and your brother or parent or child, whatever it says, did you find them?

01:14:19.900 Well, you can't verify that you found them without also revealing to the person and then spoiling it for them.

01:14:27.840 Unless you were to take a huge piece of paper, bigger than the book, so it doesn't even reveal where on the page it is,

01:14:36.500 with a tiny little cutout the size of a Wally, and put it over that.

01:14:42.100 And then you can say, look, I found him.

01:14:44.160 But it gives the person who's looking no – it doesn't spoil the exercise for the person who's –

01:14:50.560 that's a super dumbed-down version of zero-knowledge proof.

01:14:53.760 And if this becomes a bit more of a thing or you want it, I can go into a more detailed explanation,

01:14:59.940 but it involves getting into cryptography-type stuff, which we will be here for a while.

01:15:06.380 And the other reason – sorry, the other alternative to this stuff is simply enforce the existing rules.

01:15:14.760 If you just did that, I mean, at a minimum, we know that there'll be tens of thousands of people being deported every year

01:15:23.820 because we've already been able to do that under the existing rules.

01:15:27.180 So just enforce the existing bloody rules.

01:15:29.940 And if you really want to, leave the ECHR and set up offshore processing.

01:15:34.700 Done.

01:15:35.320 That is the alternative.

01:15:36.620 We must get into a future where identity and money is separate from the state

01:15:45.640 and held at the sovereign individual level.

01:15:49.800 If we get that, I think we've got quite a bright future ahead of us.

01:15:54.720 If we end up with a version that the globalists want, where it's all controlled by then,

01:15:59.240 we're looking at centuries, if not more, of slavery.

01:16:06.960 This brief window that we've had for not really more than a couple of centuries,

01:16:14.240 a bit less than that, of individual rights, liberties and freedoms,

01:16:19.400 that will turn out to be the merest blip, a historical aberration that will be forgotten in time.

01:16:26.920 We will go back to what we've always been, which is serfs.

01:16:31.220 Slaves, serfs, fiefdoms, an untouchable elite, a power class, and then the rest of us.

01:16:39.820 Don't let us...

01:16:41.580 This is so fundamental.

01:16:43.820 This must be stopped at all costs, basically, at all costs.

01:16:49.180 How do we go about stopping the ship?

01:16:57.560 Because, obviously, it's getting a tiny bit worrying.

01:17:00.960 Now, my key message here is delay is victory.

01:17:05.560 So if they're...

01:17:06.300 And they are dead set on this.

01:17:10.880 I don't know... 1.00

01:17:12.180 I mean, if you can figure out a way to just kill it dead in its tracks, great, do that. 0.99

01:17:19.180 But I can't. 0.99

01:17:22.000 The best thing that we can do is slow this down as much as possible,

01:17:25.760 make it as difficult as possible, make it as complicated as possible.

01:17:30.720 So, you know, flood the consultation with negativity.

01:17:35.720 Flood parliamentary participants and committees with new objections.

01:17:41.740 Protest.

01:17:44.600 What do they call them?

01:17:45.700 Data requests, information, you know, the things.

01:17:52.980 Spam them with that.

01:17:55.680 Demand full impact assessments.

01:17:58.840 You know, these alone take months.

01:18:01.280 Legal challenges.

01:18:03.180 Challenge the procedure.

01:18:06.340 Go after the vendors and the parties involved.

01:18:09.140 Make people speak out about it and give irreconcilable statements against it,

01:18:15.040 be they retailers or politicians or whatever.

01:18:19.300 Invoke data protection.

01:18:21.480 Invoke human rights.

01:18:23.560 Equalities act. 0.94

01:18:25.940 Promote offline alternatives or things like zero-knowledge proofs.

01:18:30.800 Promote that.

01:18:31.700 Maybe I should do some more videos on zero-knowledge proofs to, you know,

01:18:34.920 just emphasise that there is a perfectly viable functional non-state alternative to this.

01:18:40.400 Oh, freedom of information requests.

01:18:41.680 That's it.

01:18:42.060 Spam them with that.

01:18:43.920 Challenge it.

01:18:46.980 Make it a cross-party civil liberties issue.

01:18:51.520 Get journalists and normies, you know, whatever level of power or influence you have,

01:18:59.800 spread it that this must be stopped.

01:19:02.880 Highlight the foreign examples.

01:19:04.840 Maybe I need to do a segment on the main podcast because that gets more viewers on just highlighting,

01:19:11.260 as I did above here, all the times it's gone disastrously wrong.

01:19:16.380 And just get that out into the ether.

01:19:19.120 Spread all that stuff.

01:19:19.940 Highlight the people that, you know, there's 1.7 million people without phones.

01:19:24.380 Many more without smartphones.

01:19:26.940 Highlight all of this stuff.

01:19:30.260 Make a counteroffer.

01:19:32.440 Let people know that Bitcoin and zero-knowledge proofs is an alternative system to mandatory

01:19:37.680 digital IDs and central bank digital currencies.

01:19:41.960 Economic pressure on the big vendors.

01:19:45.400 You know, make it clear that you don't want to tolerate this sort of stuff.

01:19:49.940 Politicians, you can inject poison pills into any legislations.

01:19:58.220 You can delay the process.

01:20:00.680 You can make commitments.

01:20:02.180 And if none of this, and at each stage, it's easier to delay, it's easier to slow it down

01:20:09.920 and jam it up than let it get to the next stage.

01:20:12.740 If it does get to the next stage, well, that's a massive failure.

01:20:16.520 But at that point, you need mass non-compliance.

01:20:20.120 You need to make sure that everybody, by the time this comes in, Keir Starmer says by the end of the party,

01:20:25.800 you need to make sure that everybody's ready just to flat out refuse it.

01:20:29.260 Because they can't jail all of us.

01:20:32.240 You had this in Austria with the vaccinations.

01:20:36.040 They wanted everybody to be vaccinated.

01:20:37.700 And they had something like six million people who weren't vaccinated.

01:20:41.920 And so they brought in this law and said, well, you're going to be jailed then.

01:20:44.160 You're going to be jailed if you're not vaccinated.

01:20:45.680 And six million people held the line. 0.99

01:20:50.680 And the day before they had to start jailing people, they repealed the law because they realized, shit, mass non-compliance, we can't do this. 0.98

01:21:00.560 That's what we need to get to this. 0.98

01:21:05.080 You need to do a bit of both-siding on this.

01:21:07.680 So if you're speaking to a sensible person, lay out most of the arguments I've made here.

01:21:14.220 If you're speaking to a lefty, just point out, do you really want to hand Nigel Farage or somebody who comes after him who's actually based this control system?

01:21:27.260 If you're the scary right-wing uncle and you're speaking to woke-tard nieces and nephews and stuff about this, 0.99

01:21:37.080 and they see you as a nutter, just say, well, do you want me to have this power over you and all your friends? 0.93

01:21:44.220 To punish you for being woke and all the rest of it. 0.71

01:21:48.120 Make them think, make them understand that this can go both ways.

01:21:56.800 Litigation can be used on this.

01:21:58.200 Judicial review can be used on this.

01:22:00.300 Naming and shaming politicians can be used on this.

01:22:03.400 But most of all, just use the clock.

01:22:04.840 Just use every tactic, every bloody tactic.

01:22:07.460 You have to recognise that these ID systems, they take years to implement them.

01:22:14.480 They're going to try and get it done before the next election.

01:22:18.320 Slow it down.

01:22:19.200 Bog it down with everything.

01:22:23.420 Essentially, if you can delay it, you can defeat it.

01:22:25.640 No one wants to hand their political enemies a kill switch.

01:22:34.080 So make sure everybody understands that's what they're doing.

01:22:38.620 Cash is a safety valve.

01:22:40.060 Use it more often.

01:22:40.880 And ultimately, resist the building of our, as I've said before, digital IDs are the key.

01:22:55.420 The central bank digital currencies are the lock.

01:22:58.900 Build and make use of and understand alternatives.

01:23:03.860 Bitcoin and zero knowledge proofs.

01:23:05.520 And if you do that, then everyone will start to realise that this is nothing, but this is going to lead to centuries of slavery.

01:23:18.340 Normal service will be resumed.

01:23:20.980 We've spent most of our history as serfs, peasants, slaves, feudal subjects.

01:23:29.220 It's just this brief window, this tiny, brief window, when we were individually sovereign.

01:23:38.560 And if we don't stop this, all of that will go away and normal service for humanity will be resumed.

01:23:44.500 Stop this any bloody way that you can.

01:23:47.340 Spread the message.

01:23:48.660 Do whatever you can.

01:23:49.880 Even if it's just influencing two or three people.

01:23:53.040 Do that.

01:23:53.920 Stop this.

01:23:59.220 Stop this.
