Between 70 and 90 countries around the world are now working on the introduction of a digital ID.
These include Germany and all 27 EU member states.
Accordingly, the coalition agreement of the new federal government also includes the introduction of a
mandatory citizen account, also known as BundID, which provides all citizens with a digital identity.
The BundID is basically like a digital ID card, in which all personal data from passports and driving
licenses to financial and health data are to be recorded.
The official aim of BundID is to largely automate administrative processes.
It will therefore also function like a digital account that will be used in future to process
social benefits such as child benefit payments.
The so-called EUDI Wallet (European Digital Identity Wallet) will serve as a central platform to
enable identification, authentication and payments.
In addition, nationwide digital identities are also to be introduced for pupils, which can be linked to the citizen ID.
The German government also supports the renewal of the eIDAS Regulation at European level, i.e. the legal
basis for electronic identification in the European Union.
The regulations on the introduction of the European digital identity came into force in May 2024 and oblige all 27
EU member states to introduce a digital ID wallet by 2026.
This means that all EU citizens will soon be able to use the European digital wallet.
This will consist of a mobile app that will be issued in each member state.
It will enable all EU residents to identify themselves online and access public and private online services throughout Europe.
So the digital identity of all citizens is no longer a science fiction fantasy!
Quite the opposite - it is now within reach, which is exactly in line with the target set by the EU:
By 2030, every citizen in the EU should have an EUID app on their smartphone as a digital wallet.
The digital wallet will then contain practically our entire life - from ID cards to tax numbers, driving licenses,
vaccination records, patient files and even the digital euro.
Lilith Wittmann, one of the best-known hackers and a renowned IT security expert, said that the most important questions about
consumer protection remained unanswered or were simply ignored.
It is therefore still completely unclear how personal data is stored or used in this digital
system and, above all, how it can be protected.
Data protectionists and activist groups are therefore urgently warning that digital identity can dramatically
expand the scope for surveillance and data collection by both the state and private companies.
The introduction of the digital ID would thus pave the way for a digital control society.
This was also openly acknowledged by Ubiqu, a leading company in the development of digital identity.
The company admitted that digital identity not only offers unlimited possibilities, but also unlimited potential for misuse.
What this means in practice can be seen from the two examples below:
1. Pakistan In Pakistan, no adult can lead a normal life without having a digital identity.
This is managed centrally by the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA),
which gives the state unprecedented possibilities.
This makes it far easier for him to monitor his citizens and suppress them as required.
This was clearly noticeable for the participants in a demonstration for the release of
former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The identity cards and passports of all persons connected with the riots were blocked.
In Pakistan, these documents are essential for almost all areas of life such as banking, public
services, travel and even the use of cell phones.
Withdrawal therefore means exclusion from essential areas of society.
The location was made possible by using tracking programs to monitor the mobile devices in the vicinity of the demonstration.
This measure shows how quickly digital identity systems can be misused for surveillance and
coercion once they are established in society.
2. China In parts of China, total surveillance and repression have been a stark reality for some time now:
For example, the government monitors its population through a digitally controlled social credit system.
Those who conform are rewarded - misconduct is punished.
This is controlled by a points system in which you collect points for "good" behavior and points are deducted for "bad" behavior.
Countless surveillance cameras with face and gait recognition ensure that the system always
knows exactly who is doing what, when and where.
Information from Chinese social media, online shopping and data on surfing behavior is also collected and
then linked to other data, such as criminal records.
The wealth of data collected enables the government there to comprehensively monitor
its citizens and then reward or punish them.
These examples show where the global introduction of a digital ID will lead: to a global digital prison!
As the digital corporations are closely linked to large financial groups, this all-encompassing control network
would give the digital-financial complex unprecedented power.
If someone is of no use to the ruling elite or even becomes uncomfortable, they can very easily be excluded from public life.
Is this not the dream of every dictator?
It is therefore vital that we look behind the scenes of such insidious technologies.
So who has such a vested interest in pushing through this digitization worldwide?
1 The WEF - as a global association of the most powerful corporations - has enforced e-ID in Pakistan
in cooperation with the World Bank and the "Better Than Cash Alliance" of the United Nations.
2 In March 2024, World Bank President Ajay Banga called for the worldwide introduction of digital identity in a
speech at the World Bank Group's first Global Digital Summit.
3 The United Nations, together with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, launched the "50-in-5 Digital Public Infrastructure"
campaign in 2023. The aim is to accelerate digital identities, digital payment systems
and data exchange in 50 countries by 2028.
4 The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is even on the ground in 170 countries and territories and is one of
the most important UN organizations working on the global rollout of digital ID as part of the UN 2030 Agenda.
5. ID2020 is another extremely powerful alliance that wants to create a digital ID that can track everyone throughout
their lives with the help of billion-dollar companies.
ID2020 is backed by the Rockefeller Foundation, Microsoft, Facebook, Mastercard and Bill
Gates' vaccination alliance GAVI, for example.
6 Nandan Nilekani, co-founder of Infosys - a global IT company and leading provider of digital services - said the following
at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Spring Meetings 2023:
Everyone should have a digital ID, a bank account and a smartphone, as these are the "tools of
the new world" for digital public infrastructures.
It is significant that global string-pullers such as Rockefeller and Bill Gates, powerful multinational
corporations as well as the World Bank, the UN, the IMF etc. are so interested in complete digitalization.
It would be naïve to think that this would be to people's advantage.
However, similar to the global lockdown measures against coronavirus, resistance is also mounting here.
In England, millions are already protesting against the introduction of the digital ID and
resistance is also growing in Germany and Austria.
Dear viewers, if you don't want to live in a total digital dictatorship, then we need your resistance!
And keep this gateway closed! Do without your smartphone wherever possible, use cash, network with people who love
truth and freedom and take action together against these plans.

organizing and promoting civil resistance against the introduction of the eID and the digital euro:
