Digital ID Introduced at a Furious Pace Worldwide

The UN and the Bill Gates Foundation are now accelerating plans for a global digital ID system that will cover 50 nations by 2028. The “50 on 5” campaign, which was launched at the end of 2023, has already been signed by at least 30 countries. All EU member states will also introduce the EU digital wallet for identification EUDI by next year at the latest.

In recent months this year, governments from Switzerland to Papua New Guinea have been rapidly developing regulations and introducing digital IDs. The details and arguments differ slightly from country to country, but the message of security and convenience combined with the circumvention of democracy through top-down dictates and global coordination is strikingly familiar to the years of Covid tyranny. At the time, it initially looked as if each country was acting independently of each other, but over time it became clear that it was about global coordination. It was about the same “lock step” methodology that was used during the virus.

Here are some picks from five continents:

COSTA RICA: Digital ID linked to a smartphone was introduced in September and has already become law, making it a requirement for access to a variety of public services.

ETHIOPIA: The digital ID “Fayda” is being rolled out at a furious pace. Some 23 million residents have already been forced to use it, and the goal is 63 million by the end of the year. By 2027, all 90 million will have it, no matter how remote or poor they are. It will be required for access to bank accounts and all public services.

INDIA: Digital ID “Aadhaar” contains biometric details like photos, facial scans, iris scans and fingerprints already collected from more than a billion Indians. Initially said to be needed only for tax returns, “Aadhaar” is now required to buy a house, get a job, open a bank account, get subsidies, buy a car, get a SIM card, book train tickets and send children to school.

LAOS: National digital ID has recently been launched, while the government has ordered agencies to “integrate it with” all of their service offerings.

MEXICO: A biometric digital ID “CURP” is being introduced, with nationwide implementation in early 2026.

PAPUA NEW GUINEA: The government now supports a policy that a national digital ID “SevisPass” will be required to access the internet and social media.

GREAT BRITAIN: Digital ID as a requirement for adults to be “given the right” to work was recently introduced. Even before it was introduced, the British government has requested an investigation into whether it should apply from the age of 13. “BritCard”, misleadingly called “card”, should be introduced by 2029 at the latest.

SWITZERLAND: State e-ID was approved by referendum, with 50.4 percent of the vote, overturning the first vote in 2021 that was no. But voter turnout was around 50 percent, so in practice only one in four Swiss said yes to e-ID. Improper election influence by globalist-linked companies is also being investigated by the country’s electoral commission, and many Swiss suspect voter fraud.

SINGAPORE: Digital ID “Singpass” is required for residents to access over 2,700 government and private services online.

THAILAND: Digital ID “ThaiID” is required to access government services, open bank accounts, sign up for mobile phone subscriptions and check in for domestic flights. Thailand has frozen over 3 million bank accounts this year alone because the account holder does not meet this condition. Starting in October, ThaiID will be required for all drivers and passengers in public transport and taxis. All such vehicles must also have GPS that transmits their position in real time.

VIETNAM: Digital ID “VNeID” with a ring is required since September 1 to hold a bank account. At least 86 million bank accounts have already been frozen for not meeting the requirement. From September 1, bank accounts began to be closed and assets seized. From December 1st, “VNeID” will be required for, among other things, all domestic flights.

GUARDIAN SYSTEM: Several countries that lack digital ID are now receiving help from countries that are leading the way. One example is Zambia, which has ongoing procurement and collaboration with Ethiopia to create and implement a similar system.

Countries that have not even had a European equivalent personal identification number are now introducing these post haste. Examples of this are Nigeria’s “NIN” and Kenya’s “Maisha Namba”, both of which have now been completed.

Nigeria, like several other countries, has – more or less secretly – reduced the amount of cash in order to force people to obtain a NIN in order to be able to pay by card, which has led to sometimes strong protests.
