In this episode, Catherine Edwards talks to Gareth Icke (Ickonic) about the rising push for digital ID, mass surveillance, PSYOPs and how fear is being used to rush through big changes. We dig into the timing, the legal routes governments might use, and practical ways people can resist while protecting their families and sanity.

What we cover:
- Why digital ID keeps reappearing in public policy and how it could be pushed through emergency or incremental legislation.
- The playbook of fear: how terrorist incidents, war headlines or crises are used to fast-track surveillance measures.
- What “convenience” really costs: data harvesting, facial recognition, loyalty programs and the slow loss of privacy.
- Practical responses: petitions, community organising, digital hygiene and ways to protect your peace.
- How to stay informed without burnout — personal resilience & local community support.
