In the warp speed of a digital world we are increasingly confronted with false flag narratives as opposed to truth. I have adapted in the last decade in the necessary required manner to maintain journalistic standards. I read/scan first for signs of narrative – and then I research regarding the veracity of the report out to the public.
And whilst the C.I.A. amuse themselves with things like this…

I amuse myself deconstructing narrative. So let me bring you along for one of the daily journeys. We will be looking at this site because I love all of the false flags.

“Since 2016, ID2020 has advocated for ethical, privacy-protecting approaches to digital I.D.”
Hard stop! Right here! The moment you have been isolated and identified, your privacy is a thing of the past. Ethics are dependent upon individual persuasion. And while one individual may consider it ethical to never take a peek at your life and times, the next individual may consider it ethical to track you from dawn-to-dark, from the bathroom to the vehicle… to the amount of time it takes you to achieve orgasm.
“…digital ID offers access to vital social services and enables them to exercise their rights as citizens and voters and participate in the modern economy. But doing digital ID right means protecting civil liberties and putting control over personal data back where it belongs…in the hands of the individual.”
Sounds good. But is this the panacea for human ills? Doubtful. A digital ID will not change the access to vital social services for a Dalit in India, those who live in the poverty-driven societal rims, or the Nepalese nestled high within the Makalu of Nepal. These individuals will never see a social worker knock on their door, much less the delivery of a basket of fresh fruit. The women will never receive a well-woman check-up, and the babies will still be born with the mother crouching over a birthing stool. Civil liberties? There is greater danger to civil liberties in the long run, and “putting control over personal data back where it belongs… in the hands of the individual” is a fantasy concocted by Timothy Leary.
“While the move to digital ID has had many positive effects, it has been accompanied by countless challenges and setbacks, including large-scale data breaches affecting millions of people.”
Ahh, yes. Let us focus on data breaches of the criminal nature, as opposed to what may be the legal data breaches of the future. Actually, the future has arrived.
Actually, what bothers me quite a bit is the first statement for the Alliance Manifesto:
“The ability to prove one’s identity is a fundamental and universal human right.”
Prove one’s identity to WHOM and for WHAT purpose? The proposition to catalog every single human being on the planet means that none can ever again choose a life of anonymity… a life where one is content to merely know that the Creator knows of their existence. Their family cares for them. And it is enough. Imagine the tens of millions of our American forefathers who lived, toiled, and died for this great land – and none remember their name.
At the end of the day, I am more the Jew than the Christian. I believe our bodies are sacred. They belong to us. They do not belong to a technological god. And because the messaging for ID2020 reads in such a palatable manner; because all of the emotionally pleasing words are in usage (right, trust, privacy protection, etc.); I see narrative. I see shadows of grey and shards of folly.
