A Democratic congressman has advocated for the implementation of the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) “digital ID” system for the American people.
In a recent House Financial Services Committee hearing, Representative Bill Foster (D-IL) urged the federal government to adopt the “digital ID” system. While presenting his case for this authoritative technology, Foster proposed that the ID database should be linked to the biometrics of the general public’s smartphones.
Throughout the hearing, various government officials provided updates on their progress regarding digital ID and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Both of these technologies have the potential to grant the government an unprecedented level of control and surveillance power. The WEF is spearheading the digital ID system, and members of this unelected globalist organization have been advocating for its full integration with “digital cash.”
“Cashless societies” is a key component of the WEF’s “Agenda 2030.”
The group has a vision for the near future where individuals in society will need to rely on their CBDC-linked digital ID in order to participate. As previously reported by Slay News, a prominent banker expressed his satisfaction to his WEF colleagues about the plans to eliminate physical cash, as it would grant government officials and powerful corporate figures “absolute control” over the global population through the use of digital currency.
In a panel discussion held in 2021, Agustin Carstens, the General Manager of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) and a member of the World Economic Forum (WEF), highlighted the “advantages” of a society without cash. Carstens proudly stated that by eliminating cash and implementing CBDCs, governments and financial elites would have the ability to track global purchases made by the public through their digital ID, allowing them to monitor who is buying what. Furthermore, this would enable them to achieve their long-standing objective of having complete control over financial transactions.
“We don’t know who’s using a $100 bill today and we don’t know who’s using a 1,000 peso bill today,” the Mexican moneyman said, bemoaning the anonymity of cash.
“The key difference with the CBDC is the central bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability,” Carstens said.
“And also we will have the technology to enforce that,” he added.
Various Democrats have also commended these technologies while expressing disapproval towards legislators advocating for the closure of CBDCs. Democrat Representative Foster wholeheartedly supported the implementation of Digital IDs.
The congressman presented the technology as a means to alleviate the potential dangers associated with artificial intelligence (AI). Furthermore, he lauded the digital ID systems utilized in nations like India, Estonia, and Korea.
“A secure digital ID biometrically synced to your smartphone allows individuals to remotely verify that they are who they say they are, saving costs, reducing the likelihood of fraud, and to allow individuals to defend themselves against deep fake identity fraud,” Foster said.
Foster further proposed the utilization of digital ID for online transactions, asserting its potential benefits.
