WEF Pushes ‘Digital IDs’ for ‘Every Citizen’

Unelected globalists at the World Economic Forum (WEF) are calling on governments to usher in “digital IDs” for members of the general public.
The WEF argues that “every citizen” should be issued with digital ID as the world prepares for “cashless societies.”
The new form of ID is part of the digital public infrastructure (DPI) plan being pushed by the WEF, United Nations (UN), European Union (EU), and Gates Foundation.
While it will initially be used for IDs, DPI will be expanded to also support digital payments via central bank digital currency (CBDC).
The plan to roll out DPI infrastructure with digital IDs is already being tested on a national level in other countries.
As Slay News reported, Bill Gates has been working with the government of India to roll out digital IDs there.
Although digital IDs are not mandatory, they are required to access basic services, meaning compliance is necessary for those who wish to partake in society.
Gates described the system as an “inspiration” that Western nations must follow.
Meanwhile, India’s South Asian neighbor Pakistan has also been acting as a testbed for the globalist DPI scheme.
In a new article on its website, the WEF praises the development in Pakistan for “transforming lives.”
The article is authored by representatives of the World Bank and the UN-based “Better Than Cash Alliance” – a taxpayer-funded “cashless societies” advocacy group.
The WEF, World Bank, and UN are celebrating the fact Pakistan has so far issued digital ID cards to over 240 million citizens nationwide.
World Bank’s DPI technical adviser Tariq Malik and Better Than Cash Alliance’s Prerna Saxena write that Pakistan’s “digital transformation” has the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) at its core.
Various elements of the controversial DPI scheme are at this time “tested” in less developed countries around the world, and invariably, the benefits of DPI are advertised as helping, in particular, (financially) underprivileged communities.
The WEF article refers to poverty-stricken testing countries as “a select group of nations.”
The take on what is currently going on in Pakistan is no different: NANDRA’s Computerized National Identity Card (CNIC) integrates digital ID with opening bank accounts, getting a driver’s license, social welfare, etc.
Opponents aregue that DPI is a dangerous centralization of people’s identities and activities, opening up disturbing possibilities for mass surveillance.
However, as far as the WEF blog post authors are concerned, digital cash and IDs are creating “seamless identity authentication for every citizen.”
“Within four years of launching the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) – a social protection initiative to alleviate poverty – CNIC issuance to adults increased by 72%,” the article boasts.
During Covid, it proved useful in managing lockdowns by transferring $75 to 12 million households.
This payment was supposed to sustain people for three months.
Drawing conclusions from Pakistan’s “success story,” the authors stress the need to ensure that regardless of who is in power, they remain committed to implementing DPI.
The WEF insists that governments must push for DPI’s adoption with “robust legal frameworks.”
Meanwhile, Pakistan’s DPI project is next expected to produce a nationwide digital health records system, among several other initiatives.
Soon, the entire nation’s health records, identity information, and “banking” details will be stored, monitored, and controlled in a centralized system.
