You can now renew your US passport online. It’s easier than the paper renewal process and requires an upload of a JPEG digital passport photo. My question is should we be avoiding all manner of “online” identification credentialing while paper alternatives are still available? With the current online renewal you get the same(ostensibly) paper passport in the mail as you get with a paper renewal, but I’m wondering if the online renewal could be a portal(for the government) to a digital passport? Not unlike the Stablecoin situation. Stablecoin was launched earlier this year as a “non US backed cryptocurrency” but which, according to ChatGPT, could technically morph into a US backed CBDC(with some significant changes, according to ChatGPT). So if Stablecoin is a back door way to get the US to a CBDC, could online passport renewal be a back door way to get us to a Digital ID(for those, like me, that have refused the RealID route)?
All your info will be going into the Palantir hog machine when it will be matched with everything else the government and big tech have collected on you. Then you will be appointed an A/i retard to become your master, judge, jury and executioner. The only objective of digital ID and A/i data centers is to implement your total destruction...as in being depopulated.
The closed-loop architecture insight here is probably the most important framing. Once identity becomes the prerequisite for transacting, surveillance isn't a separate decision anymore, it's structuraly embedded. I've been tracking how digital product passports started as supply chain transparency tools but morphed into the foundation for conditional commerce. What makes this harder to push back against is exactly what the piece says, nobody signed up for a global control grid, they signed up for efficency or sustainability or fraud prevention. Each component justifies itself in isolation. The Aadhaar example with cancelled ration cards is what makes this concrete though. The system doesn't need malice, just rigid enforcement of eligibility criteria with no appeals process that functions at transaction speed.
It's high time for Canadians to reject digital payment systems since they will no longer be just about money by 2029. It will be about controlling YOU. The alternative is to expand the use of fiat money, for now. And oppose vociferously, ANY attempt by financial regulators to cancel the use of fiat currency as a form of payment. IT'S ALL ABOUT FREEDOM OF CHOICE.
Too weird. They will loose in the end.
*lose. And yes, they will.

Can’t wait. Being doomed has its advantages. I no longer have to worry about the possibility

Just curious, can a "closed loop system" contain corrupted data and remain intact?
Maybe enough people will tell them hell no to digital ID.
The picture do say it all thank you
Your research is so appreciated. Now I know for sure I have to sell everything I have and go live self sustainably in nature for as long as I can
lol, but no - that's no solution. they won't leave you alone.
You are all about creating unrelenting fear porn, Esc Key.
That is your contribution to this world.
