The article title is misleading - It reads "preparing." Far from "preparing," digital ID is PREPARED and can be implemented at ANY time. DIgital ID is the FINAL NAIL IN OUR COFFIN. Once it is implemented, it will NOT go away, and anyone who holds out hope that any plan will "save" us once digital ID is in place is embarrassingly ignorant. We have been largely silent as nearly half the country has adopted or is in the process of adopting SMART cards. What is it going to take for us to rise against this? This is NOT about US - This is about locking future generations into a system of slavery that they will NEVER be able to escape.
