But beneath the glossy rhetoric of decentralisation and user empowerment lurks a coordinated globalist agenda, driven by mega-banks like JPMorgan and unelected elites at the World Economic Forum (WEF). These powerbrokers are not seeking to liberate; they are engineering new systems of surveillance and control, cleverly disguised as innovation. Blockchain-based digital IDs, programmable money, and tightly regulated online ecosystems are not gateways to freedom—they are the latest tools for consolidating authority and monitoring every aspect of our lives. In this era of “liberation tech,” the real question is: are we being ushered into a new age of autonomy, or led deeper into a velvet-gloved digital prison?

Web3 is often presented as the blueprint for a decentralised internet, supposedly handing power back to ordinary users by removing the grip of Big Tech and government authorities. Instead of tech giants like Google or Meta hoarding your data and raking in profits, Web3 promises a peer-to-peer system where you, the individual, own your digital life—your assets, identity, and interactions—through blockchain-based networks. Imagine Bitcoin replacing banks, Ethereum enabling smart contracts, or IPFS storing your files, all without intrusive intermediaries or a single choke point. The sales pitch is all about freedom: total control over your data, direct transactions, and privacy on your terms. Yet, here’s the bitter truth—globalist powerbrokers like JPMorgan and the World Economic Forum are muscling in, pushing their own “trusted” digital ID schemes and tightly regulated ecosystems. Their vision for Web3 isn’t about liberation; it’s a rebranding of the old surveillance playbook, using blockchain to build new tools for monitoring and controlling the masses. JPMorgan and the WEF now tout blockchain-based digital identity as the bedrock of the so-called next-generation internet. At a glance, it sounds like a libertarian’s fantasy—decentralised, user-run, shielded from Silicon Valley’s all-seeing eye. But scratch beneath the surface and it’s clear: this is just another high-tech leash for the global elite to track, control, and monetise every digital step you take. The promise of freedom is nothing more than a velvet-gloved surveillance trap.

JPMorgan and WEF Pushing Blockchain Digital ID as Cornerstone for Web3

Enter JPMorgan—the same global mega-bank notorious for raking in billions in fines for market manipulation and enabling large-scale fraud. Now, this financial juggernaut is making a hard play for control over the Web3 narrative through its blockchain division, Onyx, freshly repackaged as Kinexys. Their slick “Big Shift: Digital Identity in Web3” campaign, splashed across videos and articles, boldly proclaims that Web3 will completely upend how we create, store, and manage assets and identity—pushing everything onto “decentralised” blockchain rails. JPMorgan’s vision? A future where your digital identity is locked inside a blockchain “wallet,” supposedly giving you frictionless access to DeFi, the metaverse, NFTs, and more, all while you “prove” ownership without the need for centralised servers. On paper, this sounds like a utopian dream—full user control, selective data sharing, and tamper-proof security thanks to blockchain’s immutability. But when a titan like JPMorgan sells you on empowerment, it’s worth asking: who really benefits from this new system, and whose leash are you wearing?

JPMorgan’s Digital ID intentions are not at all altruistic

Don’t be fooled by the slick marketing—JPMorgan’s push into blockchain is anything but benevolent, no matter how much their videos spin it. Far from empowering individuals, the banking giant is building a permissioned blockchain, tightly controlled and compliant with government demands, ensuring they hold the keys to access. With over $300 billion in transactions already processed on this platform, they’re now eyeing digital identity wallets that will tether your assets, credentials, and even offline payments to their centralised system. JPMorgan parades claims of increased efficiency, faster loans, and reduced fraud, but let’s be honest: the only reason banks like JPMorgan innovate is to fatten their profits. This so-called “decentralised” identity is just another trap to siphon fees and data, funnelling it straight into their surveillance ecosystem. Here, they monitor every transaction, enforce know-your-customer surveillance, and hook seamlessly into global payment networks like JPM Coin. Forget user sovereignty—this is about cementing JPMorgan’s dominance, using blockchain as a glittering facade for their expanding financial empire. As Jordan Peterson warns, digital ID schemes pave the way for social credit systems that ultimately serve the interests of globalist elites, not the people.

JPMorgan is aggressively manoeuvring to dictate the direction of digital identity, but it’s essential to scrutinise whose interests they truly serve. Their Web3 ambitions aren’t about empowering everyday people—rather, they’re a strategic ploy to tighten their grip on the financial world and centralise control behind a shiny blockchain facade. As the bank accelerates its rollout of digital identity wallets and so-called “permissioned” blockchains, we must ask tough questions: Is this the path to genuine financial freedom, or just another scheme for globalist elites to lock us deeper into their surveillance web and profit off our every move? The consequences of letting a corporate behemoth like JPMorgan call the shots in Web3 could be dire for personal sovereignty and the future of finance itself.

Now enters the World Economic Forum, fanning the flames of concern around a top-down globalist takeover. With BlackRock’s Larry Fink and a cabal of unelected billionaire elites steering the ship, the WEF has long been at the forefront of championing blockchain as the backbone for their much-hyped “Great Reset”. Their 2019 Blockchain Toolkit isn’t subtle—it’s packed with modules pushing digital identity as the key to controlling every transaction, from supply chains to daily life. By pushing for so-called “trusted digital identities” that merge our physical and digital worlds, the WEF is mapping out a future where blockchain is the gatekeeper for every actor—be it governments, corporations, or IoT devices—all woven into a tightly regulated, interdependent web. Even Queen Máxima of the Netherlands is paraded out to justify why the WEF needs digital IDs: to monitor your health status, control your access to finance, and manage government handouts. The agenda is clear—surveillance and control under the guise of innovation.

The WEF’s Digital ID Initiative

The WEF’s Digital ID Initiative, as outlined in a 2023 article, paints a rosy picture of privacy-preserving systems built on so-called “decentralised” technologies — verifiable credentials and zero-knowledge proofs. They claim these will let users stash metadata on public blockchains and keep sensitive details locked in offline wallets, all in the name of security. The WEF even flaunts Vitalik Buterin’s “soul-bound tokens” as a way to permanently tie non-transferable identities to individual blockchain accounts. Supposedly, this is a remedy for global woes like the 850 million people without official IDs, promising access to banking, healthcare, and benefits, while supposedly protecting personal data. But scratch beneath the surface and it’s clear: the WEF’s real agenda is rolling out stakeholder capitalism worldwide. They’re aggressively pushing interoperable systems to standardise identities across borders, blending public blockchains with regulatory controls. The vision isn’t decentralisation—it’s a surveillance society where compliance, carbon credits, and more are tracked relentlessly. JPMorgan has eagerly joined forces, running pilot projects like Project Mariana and linking up with SWIFT to tokenise assets. Meanwhile, rumours swirl of Ripple’s XRP Ledger being roped in, with hush-hush deals hinting at BlackRock ETF schemes and health tech moves from the current US administration. It’s a tangled web, all designed to centralise power and tighten the leash on individual autonomy. Hear it for yourself in ‘The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future’ by OracleFilms.

JPMorgan openly admits that digital identity is the cornerstone of Web3, while the World Economic Forum (WEF) is busy weaving it into everything from healthcare to compliance and global financial systems. The WEF aggressively markets its own reports on “trustworthy verification” of digital IDs, framing them as essential for a so-called sustainable technological future. But let’s be honest—this relentless drive for digital identity is anything but harmless. With behemoths like JPMorgan and the WEF steering the agenda, it’s clear this isn’t about empowering people or decentralising power; it’s about consolidating authority in the hands of unelected elites, all while selling a fantasy of tech-driven progress. Putting digital IDs onto blockchain doesn’t liberate anyone—it creates a permanent, inescapable record of every aspect of your life: finances, health, whereabouts, purchases—ready to be exploited by whoever holds the digital keys. Privacy would be obliterated, and total surveillance would become the norm, giving governments and corporations unchecked power to silence or punish individuals for their beliefs and actions.

The WEF’s focus on “redesigning trust” in supply chains is a euphemism for globalist micromanagement

The WEF’s push to “redesign trust” in supply chains is nothing more than a slick cover for top-down globalist control. Every exchange would be monitored, scored for ESG compliance, and scrutinised for carbon output—systematically undermining national autonomy and trampling on personal freedoms. The rollout of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) is part of the same playbook, handing governments and corporate giants the ability to dictate terms over our finances. JPMorgan’s blockchain experiments are just the beginning; a universal digital ID would usher in programmable money, where your funds could be frozen or made to expire if you step out of line. Despite the propaganda from JPMorgan and the WEF about “empowerment,” this is a digital trap designed to corral the public. The only real path forward is to reject this globalist digital leash—stand up for cash, demand authentic decentralisation, and fight to keep the internet open and free from mandatory IDs.

The Diabolical Globalist Plot: CBDCs and Digital IDs as the Shackles of Enslavement https://ln24international.com/2025/12/04/the-diabolical-globalist-plot-cbdcs-and-digital-ids-as-the-shackles-of-enslavement/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-diabolical-globalist-plot-cbdcs-and-digital-ids-as-the-shackles-of-enslavement https://ln24international.com/2025/12/04/the-diabolical-globalist-plot-cbdcs-and-digital-ids-as-the-shackles-of-enslavement/#respond Thu, 04 Dec 2025 10:30:25 +0000 https://ln24international.com/?p=29051 The digital id and the CDBCs will remain in their planning stage

The United States is resisting the push for retail Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) due to a strict executive order from Trump. Meanwhile, many countries around the world are eagerly exploring these digital currencies. we’ve spent years analysing financial reports and the ongoing discussions from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), and the situation appears concerning. Currently, 11 countries have successfully launched CBDCs, while an additional 49 are experimenting with pilot programs. Digital IDs are also gaining traction, with at least a dozen countries implementing biometric systems that monitor citizens, effectively turning them into data points for global organizations. This is not a distant possibility; it is currently unfolding and presents a clear framework for increased control. But thanks be unto God, we have overcome them.

And right now, the globalist cabal—the World Economic Forum’s Klaus Schwab cult, the Bank for International Settlements’ shadowy overlords, and their Soros-slicked puppets in every bloated bureaucracy—is unleashing their endgame: Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) fused with Digital IDs. This isn’t “progress” or “convenience,” you gullible sheep—it’s a full-frontal assault on your God-given sovereignty, a digital iron fist designed to choke out freedom, family, and faith. They peddle it as a shiny app for your phone, but it’s the noose around every person’s neck, tightening with every supranational summit. No isolated CBDC exists without its Digital ID Siamese twin; they’re the interconnected tentacles of a beast that devours nations whole.

Let’s break this down by country to understand the situation better. Starting with the CBDC adopters, there are nations where your money is now under the control of central banks. Three countries have fully launched operational CBDCs: The Bahamas, the Sand Dollar was introduced in 2020 and is now essentially required for financial access. While it has a catchy name, it continuously tracks transactions. Jamaica; The JAM-DEX was launched in 2022. Although it aims to enhance financial inclusion, it also serves to monitor and potentially restrict individuals who deviate from expected behaviour. In Nigeria, that failed attempt since 2021, the eNaira has gained over 13 million wallets. While it appears inclusive, it poses risks of freezing funds for political dissent or protests. By early 2025, the number of full CBDC launches has risen to 11, with China’s e-CNY leading the charge. Since its pilot in 2020, it is now operational in 26 cities, where the government controls your currency based on a loyalty score. They have even tested the concept of expiring money to encourage spending, integrating it with their social credit system. Additionally, 49 countries are currently piloting their own CBDCs, serving as testing grounds for broader implementation. India’s e-Rupee is circulating in four cities and can be programmed to withdraw stimulus funds if certain conditions aren’t met. Brazil’s Drex is incorporating identification technology for enhanced surveillance. South Korea is experimenting with deposit tokens, Nepal recently launched its basic system in April, and other countries like Thailand and the Philippines are also exploring similar initiatives. The European Union plans to roll out its CBDC—the digital euro—in October of this year, despite overwhelming opposition from the majority of EU citizens.

Let’s talk about Digital IDs, which play a crucial role in making Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) effective. In various regions, these IDs utilize your facial recognition, fingerprints, or iris scans for a wide range of services. Singapore; Since 2003, Singpass has facilitated 41 million logins each month for 5.7 million users, covering everything from taxes to health records—essentially a comprehensive life management tool. India: With Aadhaar established in 2009, 1.3 billion people have biometric identification. The system processes 446 million verifications monthly, linking welfare benefits to biometric scans. Estonia; Digital cards have been mandatory since 2002, achieving a 99% adoption rate. They even offer e-Residency for expatriates, allowing them to access digital services as if they were citizens. Sweden: BankID, introduced in 2003, handles 6.8 billion signatures annually, with 99% of adults using it for various documentation needs. It’s efficient but raises privacy concerns.

Germany: The Personalausweis, implemented in 2010, integrates with the EU’s eIDAS framework, utilizing biometrics for secure access, though its adoption is gradual. Japan: Since 2016, the My Number system has achieved a 67% adoption rate for taxation and emergency services, moving towards comprehensive tracking. Canada: The PCTF wallet promotes “user control” for inter-provincial benefits, but it can feel like a polite form of surveillance. China: The upcoming “voluntary” National Online ID, launching in July 2025, will monitor your online activities for potential issues—voluntary in the same way a root canal might be. Additionally, new initiatives are emerging, such as Costa Rica’s digital card set to launch in September 2025, which will create a physical-digital hybrid. Other countries like Denmark, the UAE, South Korea, Austria, and Bosnia are also rolling out similar systems. The UK is exploring a “BritCard,” and Thailand is gradually introducing its system through 2027. Ex-investment banker Catherine Austin Fitts says it perfectly. Digital ID—once linked to AI and programmable money—enables authorities to monitor, manipulate, and ultimately control every aspect of human behaviour.

The digital currency and the digital ID are directly connected to the mark of the Beast

The trend is clear: these implementations are not random; they reflect a coordinated effort by organizations like the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the World Economic Forum (WEF) to ensure that CBDCs are seamlessly integrated with Digital IDs for comprehensive surveillance. The e-CNY in China parallels systems like Aadhaar, while European pilots are connected to eIDAS. This creates a centralized platform managing everything from your finances to voting and personal choices.

No Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) can operate independently without a Digital ID framework. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) emphasized the importance of “interoperability” at its Innovation Summit in September 2025, highlighting how your FedCoin could connect with Europe’s euro through a universal ID system, facilitated by leading digital innovators. The World Economic Forum’s EDISON Alliance aims to promote “digital inclusion” for one billion people by 2025, but it risks excluding those who resist conformity.

The Rise of the Surveillance State https://ln24international.com/2025/11/03/the-rise-of-the-surveillance-state/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-rise-of-the-surveillance-state https://ln24international.com/2025/11/03/the-rise-of-the-surveillance-state/#respond Mon, 03 Nov 2025 07:33:19 +0000 https://ln24international.com/?p=28585 As the surveillance state gains momentum, cameras are actively monitoring individuals as they walk through public streets and sidewalks in both urban and suburban areas. Cities are now installing surveillance-equipped streetlights that can easily record conversations between people taking a casual stroll around their neighbourhood. Even the privacy of front yards is being compromised, as neighbours with “smart” doorbells are sharing footage with law enforcement, further eroding the notion of personal space. This pervasive surveillance is extending beyond city limits, with Automatic License Plate Reader cameras popping up along rural highways and county borders, while audio and video surveillance is infiltrating remote regions like the Amazon Basin. With the rapid advancement of satellite technology, it’s becoming increasingly unlikely that any corner of the globe will remain unmonitored in the future. The modern surveillance state is wielding unprecedented power, rendering the concept of no expectation of privacy in public obsolete, as vast amounts of data are being collected, stored, and analysed. Meanwhile, critics of this “Big Brother” phenomenon are actively being marginalized in mainstream media, despite the looming threats it poses. When news outlets do discuss citizen surveillance, they often frame it as a necessary solution, downplaying the potential risks to civil liberties. Citizens are not speaking out against these privacy invasions, and in some cases, are even actively endorsing them – but why? One possible explanation lies in the way these systems are being marketed as protective measures for society, when in reality, they may represent the greatest threats to freedom. By using fear to consolidate power, those in control are manipulating citizens, who, despite having unparalleled access to information, are still susceptible to this tactic. As a result, citizens are being actively persuaded to surrender their privacy, and it’s imperative that they start questioning these invasions of their personal space.

Decade after decade, a new wave of moral panic sweeps the nation, often accompanied by so-called “solutions” that blatantly erode our civil liberties. The roots of today’s surveillance state can be traced back to the fear that gripped the country on September 11, 2001, when the government seized on that fear to push through unconstitutional measures like The PATRIOT Act, real-time crime centres, and the TSA. By doing so, the government successfully imposed security measures that would have otherwise been met with fierce resistance. As the public grew increasingly comfortable with surveillance, it became remarkably easy to expand these measures from airports to city streets, fuelled by sensationalized stories of gang violence and other societal issues. Moreover, the divisive rhetoric surrounding illegal immigration has further accelerated the growth of surveillance, normalizing egregious privacy violations and touting technologies as solutions for non-violent offenses like littering and traffic infractions. Government programs are also utilizing surveillance to micromanage travellers’ behaviour under the guise of protecting the environment from climate change. The average citizen is being gradually conditioned to view the surveillance state as a necessary evil, with some even embracing it as a means to feel safer. However, this acceptance comes at a steep cost to our civil liberties, making it imperative to recognize the dangers associated with this expanding surveillance apparatus. Authorities are deliberately manipulating fear and misinformation to justify the growth of surveillance, and it is essential for citizens to stay informed about these tactics and demand greater transparency and accountability from their governments. The future of our civil liberties hangs in the balance, and addressing these issues is crucial before it’s too late.

The rapid expansion of the surveillance state is a complex issue, driven by a multitude of factors. One primary motivator is the age-old tactic of exploiting fear to consolidate power, a strategy that governments and institutions have long employed. By magnifying narratives surrounding crime, terrorism, and other threats, authorities can rationalize the enforcement of security measures that would typically face intense public backlash. Technologies like surveillance-enabled streetlights and Automatic License Plate Reader cameras are being promoted as solutions, but they pose serious risks to our civil liberties. As the surveillance state continues to grow, it is vital to expose the ways in which authorities are manipulating fear and misinformation to justify this growth. By doing so, we can demand greater transparency and accountability from our governments and work towards a future where our civil liberties are protected. The time to act is now, before the surveillance state becomes an irreversible reality. Citizens must take an active role in staying informed and pushing back against the erosion of their rights, or risk losing them forever. The government must be held accountable for its actions, and the true cost of the surveillance state must be laid bare. Only then can we hope to reclaim our civil liberties and build a future where freedom and security coexist.

The normalization of privacy violations

The surveillance state is actively eroding civil liberties, and its growth is being fueled by the normalization of privacy violations, which is a key factor in this alarming trend. As the government and other institutions increasingly use surveillance to control citizens’ behavior, they are severely impacting individual freedom and autonomy. By enforcing laws and regulations through surveillance, authorities are generating significant revenue, which is then being reinvested into further enhancing surveillance capabilities, creating a self-perpetuating cycle where the growth of surveillance leads to increased revenue, and subsequently fuels additional surveillance initiatives. The implications of the surveillance state on civil liberties are profound, and as citizens become more accustomed to being monitored, they are becoming less inclined to assert their rights and freedoms. Furthermore, the use of surveillance to generate revenue is raising additional concerns, as it creates a troubling incentive for governments to continue expanding surveillance measures.

Advanced technologies are being actively used by governments to jeopardize the privacy and safety of citizens, and this is a threat that requires immediate attention. The media is frequently overlooking this unprecedented risk, which echoes historical patterns seen around the world, and ignoring this issue could lead to severe repercussions for society. The technologies currently being used in our communities are mirroring those that oppress citizens in countries like China, where systems like social credit and ethnic cleansing are prevalent. Journalists and political dissidents who expose government corruption are suffering harsh penalties, including being denied basic resources, suitable housing, and the freedom to travel. Governments are using facial recognition technology to hunt down and execute political opponents, and entrusting such significant power to even small governments can be dangerous.

Advanced Technologies can Seriously Jeopardize the Privacy and Safety of its Citizens

Historical abuses, such as civil asset forfeiture, are revealing how easily a surveillance state can be misused, often under the guise of judicial protection. Artificial intelligence is identifying real crimes, but the evidence it provides is often unreliable, and another major threat is arising from the widespread collection of data without proper consent or oversight. The everyday activities of average Americans are being closely monitored and analyzed with minimal regulation, creating vulnerabilities not just from state agents but also from corporations that handle this data. Individuals are risking having their personal information exposed due to security breaches, often without ever having shared that information willingly. If someone becomes a target, state actors are compiling extensive details about their life while pursuing a crime to charge them with. It’s crucial to have an open conversation about surveillance, and focusing too much on certain fears has eroded personal freedoms, while other valid concerns—especially those related to government intrusion into citizens’ private lives—have largely gone unaddressed. The government must be actively held accountable for its actions, and citizens must be actively protected from the dangers of the surveillance state.

Authorities are actively building an all-encompassing digital surveillance system, with Digital Identity and Central Bank Digital Currencies serving as the core components that trap individuals in this framework. This system is being designed to replace traditional government-issued IDs with Digital IDs deeply rooted in unchangeable biometric data, including fingerprints, facial structures, and iris patterns, effectively creating an unbreakable link between individuals’ physical bodies and their digital identity credentials. By utilizing this biometric data, governments and financial institutions are rendering individuals’ bodies as passwords, establishing a total linkage between physical characteristics and digital identity. The United Nations and the Bank for International Settlements are openly acknowledging the integration of Digital IDs and Central Bank Digital Currencies to form the backbone of a new financial system, which requires the identification and verification of every participant through Know Your Customer protocols. Digital wallets are being tied to Digital IDs, which are mapped to individuals’ biometrics, creating a direct connection between financial transactions and biological data. Initiatives like Sam Altman’s WorldCoin are already rolling out prototypes of this system, encouraging people to scan their irises to obtain a unique identifier and a digital wallet.

Similarly, the UN’s Building Blocks program is forcing refugees to scan their irises to receive food rations, with the value being deducted from a wallet linked to their biometric ID. Under the guise of addressing the identity gap, authorities claim that digital IDs are necessary for the world’s poor to access essential services like banking and healthcare. However, the reality is that this system is being designed to exert total control over individuals, with their access to society and their own money being permissioned and revocable based on their compliance. This digital surveillance system is not about convenience; it’s about control, with the new global financial system being built on the foundation of total surveillance, where individuals’ every move is monitored and regulated. The implementation of Digital IDs and Central Bank Digital Currencies is a deliberate attempt to create a framework of control, where authorities can dictate who can participate in the financial system and who cannot, effectively rendering individuals’ autonomy and freedom obsolete.

Citizens are witnessing a dramatic expansion of the surveillance state, driven by the ruthless exploitation of fear, the gradual normalization of egregious privacy invasions, and the lucrative monetization of surveillance. This alarming trend poses a significant threat to civil liberties, with far-reaching consequences that imperil the very foundations of democracy. Governments must be held accountable for their actions, and citizens are demanding greater transparency and robust safeguards to protect their rights and freedoms. As the surveillance state continues to grow in power and scope, it is crucial that citizens remain vigilant and proactive, confronting these challenges head-on to prevent the erosion of their liberties. The clock is ticking, and the future of civil liberties hangs in the balance, making it imperative for citizens to take a stand against this insidious threat before it’s too late.

Thousands Rally in London Against UK’s Mandatory Digital ID Card Proposal https://ln24international.com/2025/10/21/thousands-rally-in-london-against-uks-mandatory-digital-id-card-proposal/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=thousands-rally-in-london-against-uks-mandatory-digital-id-card-proposal https://ln24international.com/2025/10/21/thousands-rally-in-london-against-uks-mandatory-digital-id-card-proposal/#respond Tue, 21 Oct 2025 06:50:41 +0000 https://ln24international.com/?p=28227 Central London Brought to a Standstill as Critics Warn of ‘Dystopian’ Future

A significant portion of central London was brought to a standstill over the weekend as thousands of demonstrators gathered to protest the UK government’s proposal to roll out mandatory digital ID cards for all residents.

The government claims the measure would streamline access to public services, reduce dependency on physical documents like utility bills, and assist in efforts to curb illegal migration.

But opponents, including civil liberties groups, religious leaders, and concerned citizens, say the plan signals a dangerous step toward creating a “checkpoint society” one where freedom of movement and access to services could be restricted or monitored through a centralized digital system.

“We’re sleepwalking into a surveillance state,” one protester said. “Digital IDs might seem convenient, but they come with a heavy price: our freedom and privacy.”

Not the First Attempt

This isn’t the UK’s first encounter with national ID programs. In the early 2000s, Tony Blair’s Labour government passed the Identity Cards Act 2006, introducing biometric ID cards and a national identity register. However, due to widespread backlash over privacy concerns, the law was repealed in 2010 by the incoming Conservative Liberal Democrat coalition government.

Digital ID critics see the current proposal as a modern reboot of that controversial plan, but with even broader implications due to the digital infrastructure involved.

Growing Opposition

Groups like Big Brother Watch, the Open Rights Group, and various religious figures have warned against normalizing state controlled digital identities.

While the government has not confirmed a timeline for implementation, civil rights advocates say the weekend’s protests are just the beginning of a broader resistance campaign.

“We won’t stop until this plan is shelved permanently,” said a representative from a civil liberties group at the protest. “The British public did not ask for this, and they won’t accept it.”

Web3: Path to Digital Liberation or a New Era of Surveillance? https://ln24international.com/2025/09/05/web3-path-to-digital-liberation-or-a-new-era-of-surveillance/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=web3-path-to-digital-liberation-or-a-new-era-of-surveillance https://ln24international.com/2025/09/05/web3-path-to-digital-liberation-or-a-new-era-of-surveillance/#respond Fri, 05 Sep 2025 09:41:03 +0000 https://ln24international.com/?p=27233 Have you heard of Web3 is the vision for a decentralized internet built on blockchain technology, shifting control from centralized entities like Big Tech and governments to users. Unlike Web2, where platforms like Google or Meta own your data and profit from it, Web3 aims for a peer-to-peer network where individuals control their digital assets, identities, and interactions via decentralized protocols. Think Bitcoin for money, Ethereum for smart contracts, or IPFS for file storage—no middlemen, no single point of failure. The pitch is freedom: you own your data, choose what to share, and transact directly. But here’s the catch—globalist players like JPMorgan and the WEF are pushing their own spin, using blockchain for “trusted” digital IDs and regulated ecosystems, which could turn Web3 into a surveillance tool rather than a liberation tech. JPMorgan Chase and the World Economic Forum (WEF) teaming up to hail blockchain-based digital identity as the “foundation” of Web3, the so-called next-generation internet. On the surface, it sounds like a libertarian dream—decentralized control, user ownership, privacy from Big Tech overlords. But dig a little deeper, and you’ll see it’s just another tool for the global elite to track, control, and monetize every move you make in the digital world. This isn’t freedom; it’s a velvet-gloved surveillance state.

JPMorgan and WEF Pushing Blockchain Digital ID as Cornerstone for Web3

Meet JPMorgan, the banking giant that’s been slapped with billions of dollars in fines for manipulating markets and facilitating large-scale fraud. This behemoth is now aggressively pushing Web3 narratives through its blockchain arm, Onyx, rebranded as Kinexys. In a video and article series, “The Big Shift: Digital Identity in Web3,” JPMorgan explicitly claims that Web3 will revolutionize the way we create, store, and manage assets and identity information, transitioning to decentralized blockchain models. The bank envisions a future where your digital identity, stored in a blockchain “wallet,” enables you to seamlessly navigate digital realms like DeFi, the metaverse, and NFTs, all while proving ownership without relying on centralized servers. On the surface, this sounds incredibly empowering, as you’re in control of your data, sharing only what you want, and blockchain’s immutability keeps it secure.

JPMorgan’s Digital ID intentions are not at all altruistic

However, JPMorgan’s true intentions are not at all altruistic like the video tries to sell. The bank is building a permissioned blockchain, which is centralized enough for them to control access and comply with government regulations. They’ve already processed over $300 billion in transactions on this platform and are now exploring digital identity wallets that tie your assets, credentials, and even offline payments to this system. JPMorgan claims this is all about efficiency, faster loans, and reduced fraud, but it’s clear that banks like JPMorgan don’t innovate without a profit motive. They’re using this “decentralized” identity to extract fees and data, funnelling it through their ecosystem, where they can monitor transactions, enforce know-your-customer rules, and integrate with global payment systems like their JPM Coin. This isn’t about giving users sovereignty; it’s about establishing JPMorgan’s sovereignty, with blockchain as the shiny new ledger for their financial empire. Jordan Peterson on digital ID, and the social credit systems it facilitates.

JPMorgan is actively trying to shape the future of digital identity, but it’s crucial to examine their motives and the implications of their actions. By doing so, we can better understand the true nature of their Web3 ambitions and what they mean for the future of finance. The bank’s aggressive push into Web3 is a calculated move to expand its reach and consolidate its power, and it’s essential to consider the potential consequences of their actions. As JPMorgan continues to drive the development of digital identity wallets and permissioned blockchains, it’s vital to ask: what does this mean for the future of financial sovereignty, and who will ultimately benefit from these innovations?

In comes the World Economic Forum, stepping into the fray, and the alarm bells warning of a globalist agenda ring louder than ever. Led by BlackRock’s Larry Fink now and unelected billionaire powerbrokers, the WEF has been aggressively promoting blockchain technology as the cornerstone of their controversial “Great Reset” initiative for years. The organization’s Blockchain Toolkit, launched in 2019, devotes entire modules to the concept of digital identity, emphasizing its crucial role in facilitating every transaction across supply chains and beyond. By advocating for “trusted digital identities” that seamlessly integrate the physical and digital realms, the WEF envisions a future where blockchain technology is used to verify and authenticate actors within complex networks, encompassing governments, corporations, and even IoT devices, all interconnected and interdependent. Queen Máxima of the Netherlands tells the WEF why digital ID is necessary for verifying vaccination status, accessing financial services and distributing government subsidies.

the WEF’s Digital ID Initiative

In a 2023 article, the WEF’s Digital ID Initiative is pushing for the development of privacy-preserving systems that leverage decentralized technologies, such as verifiable credentials and zero-knowledge proofs, allowing users to store metadata on public blockchains while keeping their personal information secure in offline wallets. The WEF even cites the concept of “soul-bound tokens,” introduced by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, as a means of binding non-transferable identities to individual blockchain profiles. According to the WEF, this initiative is designed to provide a solution to global problems, including the estimated 850 million people who lack official identification, by granting them access to essential services such as finance, healthcare, and social benefits, while also curbing the exploitation of personal data. However, a closer examination of the WEF’s true intentions reveals a more sinister agenda – the implementation of stakeholder capitalism on a global scale. The organization is actively promoting the development of interoperable systems that standardize identities across borders, effectively merging public blockchains with regulatory oversight. The WEF’s ultimate vision is that of a “decentralized society” where blockchain technology enables the tracking of compliance across a wide range of areas, including carbon credits, and more. JPMorgan is already on board, collaborating with the WEF on pilot projects such as Project Mariana and integrating with SWIFT for tokenized assets. Recent rumors have also linked this initiative to Ripple’s XRP Ledger, with leaked non-disclosure agreements suggesting ties to BlackRock ETFs and even health tech initiatives from the current US administration, highlighting the complex web of connections that underpin this global financial agenda. Listen to this from ‘The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future’ by OracleFilms.

JPMorgan has explicitly stated that digital identity is the foundation of Web3, while the World Economic Forum (WEF) is linking it to healthcare, compliance, and global settlements. The WEF is even recommending its own reports on “trustworthy verification” of digital IDs, emphasizing its importance for a sustainable tech landscape. This push for digital identity is dark. When giants like JPMorgan and the WEF are at the helm, it’s not about decentralization, but rather centralizing control under the guise of tech utopianism. Digital IDs on the blockchain would create a permanent and tamper-proof record of an individual’s life, including their finances, health, location, and purchases, all of which could be accessed by anyone with the right keys. This would essentially eradicate privacy and open the door to total surveillance, allowing governments and corporations to blacklist individuals for their beliefs or actions.

The WEF’s focus on “redesigning trust” in supply chains is a euphemism for globalist micromanagement

The WEF’s focus on “redesigning trust” in supply chains is actually a euphemism for globalist micromanagement, where every transaction would be subject to ESG scores and carbon tracking, eroding national sovereignty and individual rights. This ties in with the development of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which would give governments and corporations unprecedented control over individuals’ financial lives. JPMorgan is already experimenting with blockchain settlements, and a universal digital ID would make programmable money a reality, where individuals’ dollars could expire if they don’t comply with certain requirements. While JPMorgan and the WEF spin this as empowerment, it’s actually a trap for the masses. We need to resist this globalist digital leash and push for truly decentralized alternatives that don’t involve these players, protect cash, and keep the internet free from ID mandates.

The 2025 Bilderberg Meeting https://ln24international.com/2025/06/18/the-2025-bilderberg-meeting/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-2025-bilderberg-meeting https://ln24international.com/2025/06/18/the-2025-bilderberg-meeting/#respond Wed, 18 Jun 2025 08:23:07 +0000 https://ln24international.com/?p=25243 They are not hiding it anymore. The 2025 Bilderberg Meeting held June 12–15 in Stockholm, Sweden, had the inclusion of “Depopulation and Migration” among its discussion topics. The attendee list, published on the official Bilderberg website, included 121 prominent figures from politics, business, tech, finance, and media.  Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson was also reported to have attended, despite not being on the public list.

The 2025 Bilderberg Meeting: Depopulation and Migration on the Agenda

The term “Depopulation and Migration” has raised alarms, as it is evidence of a globalist agenda tied to population control and replacement migration. However, the Bilderberg Group operates under Chatham House Rules, meaning no detailed minutes or attributable statements are released, leaving the exact context of discussions unclear.

If you think the reference to “depopulation” may refer to declining birth rates and aging populations in developed nations, potentially linked to migration policies like the UN’s Replacement Migration concept, rather than a conspiratorial plot, you couldn’t be further from the truth.

Bilderberg attendes list, the who’s-who of the anti-freedom crowd

First of all, who was in the Room? The so-called “official” attendee list on bilderbergmeetings.org reads like a who’s-who of the anti-freedom crowd: NATO’s Mark Rutte, Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Pfizer’s Albert Bourla, and Palantir’s Alex Karp rubbing elbows with Goldman Sachs suits and the King of the Netherlands. Swedish PM Ulf Kristersson was there too, conveniently left off the public list—because why be honest with the people? You’ve got Big Tech (Google, Anthropic), the military industrial complex (Saab, Anduril), big pharma and the banking cartel (Citigroup) plotting alongside left-wing democrats like Stacey Abrams.

The 2025 Bilderberg Meeting: Depopulation and Migration on the Agenda

Red flags are waving on the issue of depopulation and migration, and rightly so. The crux of the matter goes beyond merely declining birth rates – it appears to be a deliberate and calculated effort to reshape the very fabric of Western nations through the implementation of open border policies and stringent population control measures. The United Nations’ Replacement Migration plan is a notable example that comes to mind, where the ruling elite seek to supplant our native culture with a more controllable and malleable entity. Although the secretive nature of organizations like the Bilderberg Group has limited our access to concrete evidence, the available information hints at a more sinister plot. It’s essential to acknowledge that when globalist leaders discuss depopulation, their primary concern is not the preservation of our planet, but rather the consolidation of their power and control over the masses.

The 2025 Bilderberg Meeting: War and AI on the Agenda

Here’s what’s also on their agenda: they’re actively targeting the US economy, meddling in Ukraine, pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence, bolstering defense, and manipulating energy markets. In essence, they’re deliberately interfering with our financial systems, fueling endless wars, and aggressively investing in AI surveillance and militarized technology. With the Trump administration’s tariffs and “America First” policies significantly disrupting their globalist agenda, it’s no surprise that they’re now desperately trying to salvage their vision of a free-trade, open-border world. Their focus on energy and critical minerals is a clear attempt to counter China’s dominance over rare earths. Meanwhile, their involvement in Ukraine and the Middle East is leaving a trail of NATO’s fingerprints, dragging the US deeper into costly conflicts that are rapidly depleting our financial resources.

The Bildrberg meeting is epitome of the globalist establishment

It’s important to sound the alarm on the secretive Bilderberg gathering, which embodies the epitome of the globalist establishment, shrouded in secrecy and devoid of accountability. This elite clique, convinced of their intellectual superiority, has a notorious history of concocting disastrous policies, such as the Euro, and is now setting its sights on dismantling our borders, manipulating demographics, and eroding our freedom. The euphemistic term “depopulation” is being used as a thinly veiled code for implementing policies that systematically undermine our core values and national sovereignty. The fact that this year’s meeting is being held in close proximity to Sweden’s Grand Lodge only serves to further fuel speculation, with its unmistakable Masonic undertones seeming to mock the demands for transparency.

Make no mistake, this is not a baseless conspiracy theory, but a stark reality, given the organization’s steadfast refusal to allow even a glimmer of sunlight into their proceedings, leaving the public to wonder what exactly is being orchestrated behind closed doors. Contrary to this, private-public partnerships have been taking a more aggressive approach, driving the globalist agenda and depopulation efforts under the guise of promoting global health and pandemic preparedness. In reality, these funders and partners are spearheading the charge, deliberately crafting and manufacturing pandemics, rather than genuinely working towards preparedness. The term “pandemic preparedness” has become a euphemism, as it is now synonymous with the intentional creation, development, and construction of these global health crises, ultimately serving the interests of these powerful partnerships.

Proponents of Depopulation

For decades, powerful elites have openly discussed and promoted depopulation as a means to reshape society in their favor. From billionaires to policymakers, their words and actions reveal a disturbing agenda. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, during one of the World Economic Forum, stated that depopulation ACTUALLY GOOD as it makes it easier to replace humans with AI and automation.

US billionaire Bill Gates has grown an obsession over his vaccines. However, his vaccination programs in India have been linked to paralysis in at least 490,000 children. In a 2010 TED Talk, he controversially stated that vaccines could help reduce the global population by 10-15%.

Notably, Pfizer’s CEO Albert Bourla is there, alongside top brass from the World Economic Forum and the chair of DSM-Firmenich, the company behind Bovaer, a technology eerily linked to “climate cow control”. Remember, the meeting took place under a strict media blackout, with no press coverage allowed. However, in a stunning contradiction, prominent corporate media figures are actually inside the meeting, but not as reporters – they’re participants. Specifically, journalists from esteemed outlets like The New York Times, Bloomberg, and The Economist are rubbing shoulders with the elites, raising serious questions about the blurring of lines between journalism and cronyism.
