Paul G Conlon on Digital ID . . . Do we need it?

“If the Government sends me an identification card I shall return it with a letter to explain that I do not need it;

I already know who I am.”
DOUGLAS GRAHAM (RINGAROOMA TASMANIA), CONTRIBUTER TO THE AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER PROTESTING THE AUSTRALIA CARD PROPOSAL, 8 SEPTEMBER 1987

He combines firsthand family history inside the Nazi military with deep technical knowledge to warn that lockdowns were just a taste of what’s coming, if we allow it.
