Guest post by Leo Hohmann<\/a>, republished with permission.<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Federal \u2018Guidelines\u2019 have already been secretly adopted for a Digital ID program that will start off as \u2018voluntary\u2019 but only the most gullible Americans would believe that\u2019s anything but temporary.<\/p>\n

In the globalist drive toward the creation of a national digital ID for all Americans is well under way, and the first group of citizens to be coerced into accepting a digital ID will be those receiving public benefits of one type or another.<\/p>\n

Government healthcare benefits, Veterans\u2019 benefits, Social Security benefits, and of course low-income welfare programs of every type will all be fair game for digital IDs, and the U.S. government is already far down the road to adopting a strategy of digitizing all government-dependent citizens.<\/p>\n

It all begins with a little-known program within the U.S. Department of Commerce.<\/p>\n

I bet you didn\u2019t know that the federal Commerce Department has a sub-agency called the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST for short, and that NIST has already adopted a set of \u201cdigital identity\u00a0guidelines<\/a><\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

These guidelines are ostensibly designed \u201cto better support public-benefits programs.\u201d\u00a0Biometric Update<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0reports that these programs assist beneficiaries with essential needs such as food, housing, and medical expenses, and then goes on to explain NIST\u2019s role in digitizing all these government beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

As is almost always the case, the federal agency has partners in the private sector to help it fulfill its mission of bringing in the technocratic\/biometric beast system designed to replace people\u2019s free will with government mandating every facet of their lives.<\/p>\n

Biometric Update writes:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe project is a collaboration between NIST, Georgetown University\u2019s Beeck Center for Social Impact + Innovation, and the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT<\/a>).\u201d<\/p>\n

The Commerce Department even has its own staffer whose sole responsibility is to oversee this digitization of public benefits.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder Secretary of Commerce for Standards and Technology and NIST Director Laurie E. Locascio emphasizes the importance of balancing access and security in benefits delivery. She noted that different populations face varied needs and barriers, which this collaboration aims to address by bringing together diverse communities.<\/p>\n

The plan is for the project to utilize NIST\u2019s process of community engagement to gather input from federal partners, state benefit program administrators, IT and cybersecurity leaders, digital identity experts, technologists, advocates, and individuals with direct experience in the public benefits system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you remember ever voting on this? I don\u2019t. And where is Congress? Why aren\u2019t they involved in more than just a periphery role in something as big and important as the creation of a national digital identification process?<\/p>\n

Instead, it looks like the digitalization of America, and the world, is going to be crammed down our throats. It will be up to us to resist.<\/p>\n

The Biometric Update article goes on to quote Lynn Overmann, executive director of the Beeck Center, who \u201chighlights the goal of developing human-centered solutions to improve government services, particularly for vulnerable populations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Human-centered solutions? That\u2019s a curious choice of words, since these digitalization programs are all driven by artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n

The article adds that, \u201cShe expresses pride in partnering with NIST and CDT to enhance security, privacy, and equity in benefits applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s always done in the name of protecting the\u00a0security, privacy and equity<\/em>\u00a0of citizens. Rinse and repeat. They all stick to the same script, these globalists. They\u2019ve got to include these lies to give the program the veneer of benevolence. They\u2019re just trying to help us! And anyone who sees anything but the best of intentions in these programs is immediately branded a \u201cconspiracy theorist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ronald Reagan told us 50 years ago that we the people should fear nothing more than a government official showing up in our lives while professing these nine words: \u201cI\u2019m from the government and I\u2019m here to help.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, never trust the government. Thank you Ronald. If you never did anything else of value, you left us with those words of wisdom. Too bad so many of those conservative Americans who canonized you as the personification of conservative sainthood no longer follow that sage advice.<\/p>\n

The Biometric article then states:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe goal is to create voluntary resources for public sector organizations, including a profile of NIST\u2019s Digital Identity Guidelines (Special Publication 800-63<\/a>), to help evaluate authentication and identity proofing practices for specific benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ah, yes, they are always careful to include the obligatory statement that it will all be \u201cvoluntary.\u201d Almost every new government program that later morphed into some type of financial, educational, healthcare or workplace tyranny always starts out as voluntary, until it\u2019s not. But that\u2019s how they hook people in.<\/p>\n

Alexandra Reeve Givens, president and CEO of CDT, stresses the need for carefully developed identity management solutions focused on equity, privacy, and security. She emphasizes that people should access public benefits without technical barriers or privacy compromises and trust that the systems will function fairly and securely.<\/p>\n

Whenever they mention \u201ctrust\u201d in the same sentence with government programs, that should be a red flag. Why are they so concerned that we might not trust them? Could it be that they know they have a horrific track record of lies and deceptions throughout history? I think maybe so.<\/p>\n

Biometric Update further informs us that last year\u00a0r<\/a>esearchers in the United States<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>examined the way in which authentication and identity proofing is used in the U.S. to give access to public benefits. Of course, these \u201cresearchers\u201d are anything but unbiased or disinterested in the outcomes of their so-called \u201cstudies,\u201d because they go into the study with the presumption that more technology is always better than less when it comes to serving the public. It\u2019s always \u201csafer\u201d and \u201cmore secure\u201d and \u201cmore convenient\u201d and \u201cmore equitable,\u201d whatever that means, to digitalize a program. The only truthful item on that list is the convenience aspect because, yes, using technology instead of physical paper forms and physical cash is always going to be faster and easier. They know this and use it to their advantage with the ignorant masses, who still haven\u2019t figured out that the government is not their friend and will lie to them whenever it\u2019s advantageous to do so.<\/p>\n

So, they put out their fake studies, and then clamor about the \u201cgrowing call for accountability\u201d safer, more secure and more equitable distribution of public benefits, and eventually the forced digitalization will include private benefits too, such as private bank accounts, your corporate paycheck, your applications for various educational opportunities, etc., it will all be tied into your digital ID.<\/p>\n

And then, when as many \u201cvolunteers\u201d are signed up as possible, meaning there are no more dumbed-down government-trusting drones willing to digitize themselves, that\u2019s when the voluntary aspect will be yanked out of the equation and they start to remove the carrot and use the stick. Sign up for this digital ID, or else\u2026<\/p>\n
