Or better yet, keep the people divided and fighting each other.

Oh yes, Divide et Impera always works. See this multiculti bomb ready to explode in Europe, or Vax v Antivaxxx, proletariat v capitalist, left v right,… The examples are infinite but we never learn.
Panem et Circenses is another eternal one that always works and which is being applied more than ever! The Elites definitely have paid attention to their history classes.
Wonderful vignette dear Permiegirl, a true gift to my caricaturist soul!

I really want to, but my job and to a lesser extent my family put a ton of pressure on me to carry one. I’m expected to be reachable during waking hours by work when needed, and so get my wife wanting me to carry a phone for emergencies.
However Im traveling in Costa Rica at the moment and Im amazed at how well people here get along without a mobile plan, simply relying on Wi-Fi and app-based communication. Im not savvy enough to know if this is better or worse. Without a cell plan it would be easy enough to get a burner phone, but then is using WhatsApp (a Facebook product) actually more private? I don’t know but I reluctantly installed it for the trip as it’s otherwise impossible to call a cab or arrange services, short of just asking someone else to do it for you.
It’s encrypted but I don’t doubt state actors have it hacked. But probably still way more secure than SMS. But for life in the US it relies on people on the other end using it too. Same with Signal. I know most people in the US aren’t willing to do that, we lack the network effect so far.
I need to start looking into burners and de-googled phones for sure, but as long as you have a SIM tied to your identity you’re going to be tracked. But the. I assume as soon as you log into an account tied to your identity you’re anonymous burner is no longer anonymous.

Hi Doubletap, very interesting video indeed. Some of the points are already reality here in the old continent:
In Italy we had the ‘Green pass’ during the scamdemic, similar to China, which now isn’t asked for anymore but it is still online (I wonder why).
I refuse to have the DigiID as its called here, which is not linked to your drivinglicense (yet) but is like a virtual version of your ID. I refuse to have ID card as well, only have a passport which unfortunately has a microchip in it with god knows what data + your fingerprints (EU way ahead in these dystopian things).
It already happened a couple of times flying in the Schengen zone in the last years that they wouldn’t even bother to check my passport, a thing which I picked up straight away, and now Italy has made the obvious official:
You don’t have to present any ID to fly from Italy into any Schengen country, meaning that they already know who you are before you place a foot in the airport.

Reading this report really puts things in perspective. The removal of our privacy and freedoms is happening right on schedule. The election of Trump has done nothing to slow this down. Quite the opposite. That’s why he’s surrounded by globalist technocrats. There is no politician (left or right) on the state or federal level with the power or political will to do anything to stop this. States like Texas and Tennessee that are supposed to be conservative and pro-freedom are starting to roll out digital surveillance and control on their citizens. Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn has said on multiple occasions that she supports legislation to ID everyone on the internet by forcing them to upload personal data and proof of government-issued identity documents, so I expect Tennessee to follow Texas’ lead very soon. Unfortunately, the “solutions” presented in the “Life Under Digital ID” report are not long term, workable solutions. You might be able to avoid being caught in the digital dragnet for a while (depending on your age and personal situation), but eventually you will brush up against the government, financial or healthcare system and be forced to comply or be denied service…or worse. I’m sure the globalist psychopaths have a solution planned for every situation…including the technology averse among us. As the report states, this will be abused. Identities will be stolen and the data corrupted. You can try to keep your head down and only use the internet for essential services, but all it will take is someone to steal and use your identity for some purpose that the technocratic overlords don’t like and your “Life Graph” will be polluted. This could result in debanking and other restrictions being placed on you and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Sorry to sound black-pilled, but when I’ve tried to talk to family members and people at work about these issues, they look at me like I’m crazy or give me the old “I’ve got nothing to hide” response. So, not only do our elected leaders have no will to stop this, but the general population doesn’t seem to care either.

Super long reply coming sorry y’all.
Also before you read, I’d like to invite everyone to our upcoming webinar that explains the important of privacy phones and how they can protect you from things like Digital ID.
Its happening October 29th at 12 PM Central Time. Sign up here: https://abovephone.com/webinar
@doubletap
Thank you! I agree more states will jump on biometric ID soon.
The pre-cursor from my research is U.S mobile driving licenses, accepted in place of REAL ID.
The definition of REAL ID are the new ISO-18013 family of security standards, it doesn’t have to have a biometric component - it is a basic physical card that doesn’t necessitate electronics.
Then there’s 18013-5 which outlines how mobile drivers licenses work. 28 states have or are working on mDLs, you sign up with biometric identity.
If you use Google or Apple wallet I predict you’ll start to see this option more in the near future.
@mysterymet - The freedom to exercise our religion will be another important way to opt out. But don’t be mistaken - Iowa was one of the first states and they’ve made progress, here’s a list of businesses accepting the digital ID.
First they need to make it really convienient. I also think its on purpose typically conservative states like Texas, Florida, and Wyoming as places with biometric IDs…
@aaronmckeon - awesome, haha one of the few people who opt out at the TSA lines, it feels like everyone is asleep sometimes - but hopefully people see you doing it and decide to do the same thing. thanks man.
@frontlineDIY - if you want to improve the privacy of your tablet, we also have a private one: Pixel Tablet
@MadMilo @kelle cash will only be banned if digital payments reach near totality. In China, its something like 99% of payments are digital - cash isn’t banned, but there’s no point in using it, people outright reject it. In that way, they don’t even need to ban cash.
@thebiotechnologist - yes using wifi is a good option. we offer an internet phone number with our phones (us or canada number) so you can stay in touch on the go. No, we don’t think WhatsApp is private - (it was leaked recently how 1,500 Meta engineers have access to use data) - but for those in South America, there’s not much option. at least on our phone you can minimize the contacts it uses.
We also have an anonymous eSIM that you can use, we may have something available for Costa Rica. https://abovephone.com/datasim
@madmilo - that happens through the new border control requirements. they don’t really care as long as the entrance is logged and the exit is logged. i just came back from a Europe trip, one day before the system went into effect. i mention some solutions in the report.
@neo786 - yes, its sad, but some people have to learn the hard way about surveillance and how it can be used against them. i try to focus my life towards living well outside the surveillance and i think ive been able to convert people in my inner circle moreso that way. when the stick comes down, people will be a bit more open minded 
thanks everyone for reading!

They dont have to ban physical cash. The great majority of ‘money’ is electronic already and the bulk of transactions are too. The juice of banning cash isnt worth the squeeze. They will instead just stop producing it and progressively withdraw it from circulation (old, damaged etc etc). Cash wont be banned, but it wont be available either.

Hi All, can someone please confirm that this is a ‘written only’ presentation - not video? ( have been caught previously when for some reason the video link was completely absent so i assumed article was only via text. ). TY
Amazingly, when I got home from the Summit in NH and was able to do an 8 year renewal of my DL online after having let it expire by a few days. So for now I still have the old school type, although it is an entirely new format with clear places and water marks etc.
I need to renew my passport in case I need to fly.

How will CBDC work with local merchants who only accept cash, ie. garage sales, yard sales, local thrift shops? Many accept cash because they can not take credit cards or alternate payment methods such as apple pay which require a connection to a processing center.
I see an underground economy right off the bat and it will likely grow over time.

Simple. They’ll do what Canada and other countries are doing-you’ll need to declare the source of any cash you deposit under penalty of law. And with cameras everywhere and AI doing cross-referencing of everything, they’ll usually know who bought or sold what strictly through correlation.

I just skimmed this without reading thoroughly, but up here in Canada, the pretense is that we need to go digital and eliminate cash to prevent fraud. This is a common propaganda narrative, but there’s a variety of narratives used, depending on the host country. Terrorism, child abuse, illegal drug sales…whatever narrative they think will work on that country’s citizens. The funny thing is, if you ask them for 5 reasons why Digital IDs will work better, they have no answers other than the propagandistic bullshit.

People would use an app on their phone to send and receive money. No bank is required but since it would be recorded on an immutable blockchain, “they” would have complete visibility to your activity.

I keep wondering, watching almost everyone I know act like they can’t live without a cell, how toxic they have to get before people drop them.
To answer your question though, I’ve had one briefly 10 years ago, I got rid of it, and I won’t be getting another one. They were annoying before, and now they are an instrument of abuse and enslavement.
My two cents -

Digital ID
What’s the big deal. If one travels internationally. If you don’t have a Global Entry card. You are guaranteed to wait up to hours to get thru Customs coming from overseas if you don’t have a Global Entry Card.
Global Entry application is Digital ID.
I have no issues with that. It walks me thru Customs with a Smile from the Customs Agent.
I luv it.
