The World Economic Forum (WEF) is actively promoting digital IDs. The
Known Traveler Digital Identity (KTDI) is a WEF initiative that, according to its website,
“brings together a global consortium of individuals, governments,
authorities and the travel industry to enhance security in world
travel.”
As you can probably tell by the name of the initiative,
digital IDs are a core component of the WEF’s desire to “enhance
security.” Canada
is KTDI’s most prominent member. Now, Canada, supposedly a country
interested in advancing human rights, wants to introduce a federal
“Digital Identity Program.”
According to a recent report
released by the Canadian government, those in charge want “to make it
easier for Canadians to interact with the Government of Canada.” For
this to occur, though, “modern, integrated systems and an unwavering
focus on the needs and experience of citizens” are required. In plain
human language: this will require the introduction of digital IDs. The
elites in Davos, one imagines, are excited by the developments in
Canada.
Last year, in a rather revealing white paper,
the WEF outlined the many ways in which digital IDs will turbocharge
our digital future. The authors cite China’s use of digital IDs and
biometric technologies; these, they insist, have “transformed consumer
habits and delivered tangible benefits” to Chinese citizens. The fact
that the WEF is using China as a shining example of why digital IDs work
should worry anyone who cherishes the idea of freedom.
Should
American citizens be concerned if Canada—the United States’ neighbor—is
prepared to roll out digital IDs? The answer is yes. If it can happen in
one of the most developed countries in the world, it can happen in the
United States. In fact, some Democrats are actively pushing for digital
IDs....<<<Read More>>>...
