I think the point here is that ID cards will happen, and they will only be technically optional. Gobal Ids are the next step FYI.
If we create compound key of
Zip Code
Door Number
Mobile Phone IMEI
NI Number
DOB
Surname
Car Reg
They can build a picture of your whereabouts. Passports have biometrics so as you travel you already have a global id of sorts.
This is global enslavement people. Now you have enough debt to keep you and your children and their children enslaved.
Cue the dollar collapse.

Originally posted by minestrone View PostThe cards will always be voluntary but they will push through some anti Money laundering legislation that means that you cannot get a financial product or open a bank account unless you have a card.
