Yesterday saw two announcements. Starmer is to introduce compulsory digital ID
cards in the UK, and Tony Blair is put forward by the White House to be the
colonial administrator of Gaza for five years.

The political economy of the world appears locked in a vertiginous downward
spiral. You don't have to scratch very hard to find that Tony Blair's hand is
also behind the compulsory ID plan. He has been pushing it for nearly thirty
years, and now it comes with added links to Larry Ellison, Palantir and Israel.

The government will be able to garner and centralise knowledge of everything
about you. Every detail of your financial transactions, your DNA, your family,
your medical records, your education, employment and accommodation. It will be a
very short time before the digital ID is linked to your social media accounts
and your IP access to monitor your browsing.

There is already the intention to control us through our access to financial
services. I have spoken with one of the women charged for protesting outside the
Leonardo factory in Edinburgh. She has had her bank accounts cancelled - simply
losing the money in them - and cannot open a new account. You may recall they
tried to debank Nigel Farage. The campaign to defend Julian Assange suffered
multiple banking cancellations.

The desire of the state to control people politically through their ability to
carry out ordinary transactions is not in doubt. It is demonstrated. Once you
have a compulsory digital ID linked to transactions - which will follow very
swiftly, I am quite certain - they will be able to simply switch off your
ability to pay for anything. Add this to a digital currency which tracks all of
your expenditure - all the key elements of which are already installed - and
total control will be in place.
