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.

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.
