Nick Corbishley: Digital Identity Can Close Life Off For Individuals

Nick Corbishley discusses the most important issue of our day: the deployment of digital identity programs which by their own admission can "open up" or "close off" the digital and analog world to individuals. The EU is at the forefront of introducing Digital ID and helping other regions around the world do the same. Brussels insists they will be voluntary yet countries like Greece are already making them mandatory. We're talking about a new social contract in which the public has ever decreasing influence over their own lives. The EU is actively anti-democratic in its very essence, which is how it was designed. Multipolarity is a nice idea, but these governments are much further along the road toward killing cash and launching CBDCs. The U.S. and NATO are positioning in Latin America via countries like Argentina to keep regional powerhouses like Brazil in check. Location will be important for surviving the Digital Dictatorship, however, there is some hope because of the hubris and incompetence of the elite.Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Odysee / Rokfin / RumbleListen/Download on SoundCloud*Support Geopolitics & Empire:Donate https://geopoliticsandempire.com/donationsConsult https://geopoliticsandempire.com/consultationBecome a Member Become a Sponsor https://geopoliticsandempire.com/sponsors**Visit Our Affiliates & SponsorsAbove Phone https://abovephone.com/?above=geopoliticsBorderless Mexico Expat Health Insurance https://beacons.ai/jamesguzmanWebsitesX https://twitter.com/NickCorbishleyWebsite https://nickcorbishley.comScanned: Why Vaccine Passports and Digital IDs Will Mean the End of Privacy and Personal Freedom http://www.chelseagreen.com/product/scannedGreece Just Gave a Glimpse of How the EU’s “Voluntary” Digital ID Wallet Will Gradually Become Mandatory https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/04/greece-just-gave-a-glimpse-of-how-eus-strictly-voluntary-digital-id-wallet-will-gradually-become-mandatory.htmlAbout Nick CorbishleyNick Corbishley is a writer, journalist, teacher, and translator based in Barcelona.
