Alex Newman: “Digital ID is a tool for totalitarianism – a digital gulag for humanity”

"This is a tool for totalitarianism... and if people around the world don't stand up, we're going to lose our freedom."

Investigative journalist Alex Newman on digital ID: "It really has nothing to do with illegal immigration."

"It's an effort to force everybody into this system... First it'll be to work, next it'll be to shop, it'll be for your healthcare, it'll be for your government benefits."

"Digital ID is one component of the digital public infrastructure that Bill Gates and the United Nations have already publicly announced they're working on."

"It will be melded with the central bank digital currency and all of the other digital architecture they're building to create, essentially, a digital gulag for humanity."

"It will end up in total control of every facet of your life. They're already bringing in the social credit score that they pioneered in China. They're pairing it with the digital currencies, and they want to make it so that they will track your carbon footprint."

"They will track your attitudes and your opinions online. They will track everything that you buy to determine whether you're making appropriate choices."

"And if we don't stop it, it will culminate in exactly what Klaus [Schwab] describes in his book on the Fourth Industrial Revolution—a fusion of our biological and our digital identities that will be impossible to escape from."

"Take this threat seriously... We must say no."
