I am not sure what problem they are trying to solve. Almost all of my accounts that deal with financial transactions have 2 factor authentication(2FA)

COVID-19 changed a lot

And they're continuing to use the Wuhanic Plague to implement tyranny that Stalin and Hitler would have envied.

All it takes to instantly kill this bill is to attach an amendment requiring digital ID to vote.

That's a good idea. Short, sweet, and makes a great point.

The most dangerous man is the one who wished to be left alone and who has nothing to lose in this life.

One day, one or more of those men will be coming for those tyrants and it will be ugly. Far more ugly than whatever may or may not be in some concealed crossdressing homosexual manifesto. That manifesto would teach THOSE men NOTHING. Those men would be utterly merciless in their actions. The leftist tyrants know this is true and as reported, have built for themselves castles, security manpower, systems and fortresses in which they falsely believe they are safe, but they won’t be. Our military has trained such men for tasks such as this and the elites know this and are afraid. This is why they spy on everyone...fear from the horror which may come upon them.

May God have mercy on the tyrants and Godspeed to the men who wished to be left alone in peace.

The bottom line;
They spy and try to control us because their afraid of us, but want us to be MORE afraid of them.

Brethren, FEAR NOT!

Digital Identity.

Does that include toes?

Then there are 20 possible identities.

Probably most true citizens are of the middle of the hand identity.

Not to be used for voting. That’d be racist.

As 2 factor authentication takes over the software world (and annoys the hell out of developers) the general concept isn’t bad. A government 2nd factor, with one API, would certainly make a lot of industry lives easier. But, of course, this is our government we’re talking about. Real ID STILL hasn’t gone into full usage and isn’t schedule to until 2025 (20 years after the bill passed). Something this big, and technical, is probably a 50 year project. If it could ever finish.

So I’ll put it on my “yeah whatever” list.

But anonymous publication has been an essential feature of American democracy since its beginning. It has long allowed vulnerable voices to participate in public politics and speak truth to power. Indeed, anonymous debate was at the center of the revolutionary politics that led to American independence, the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, which enshrined the press freedoms that continue to protect anonymous speech today.

In the late 18th century, pseudonyms and anonymous sources filled the pages of newspapers. In fact, some of the most prominent Founding Fathers regularly used the shield of pseudonyms in political essays during the era of the American Revolution: Thomas Paine, John Dickinson, Alexander Hamilton, Arthur Lee, John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Influential texts such as “Common Sense,” the Federalist essays and the “Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania” essays were all published without an author’s byline.

In many of these cases, well-known, elite authors expected that their audience would be able to identify them. Early American cities were, after all, small towns by today’s standards. Indeed, shortly before he began to write the Federalist essays, Hamilton wrote a controversial essay under a pseudonym to “avoid the appearance of ostentation,” an ally explained privately. He feared, according to this friend, that a signed essay would make it seem as if he was seeking fame and publicity — a crucial sin for an early modern politician.

As Madison, Hamilton and Jay published the Federalist essays, they protected their identities closely, using the pseudonym “Publius” and denying their involvement to all but their closest associates. Yet some contemporaries quickly and accurately guessed their identities.
Their use of a pseudonym was probably not intended to avoid detection or retribution. Rather, they probably hoped that their pseudonym would focus their readers’ attention on their arguments rather than their personalities. Moreover, by removing themselves from the conversation, they sought to embody the broader public.

It’s bad enough to have to carry a digital I.D. in my wallet, but that I.D./barcode tattoo on the penis is too much...

11Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon.12It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.13It performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people,14and by the signs that it is allowed to work in the presence of the beast it deceives those who dwell on earth, telling them to make an image for the beast that was wounded by the sword and yet lived.15And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain.16Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead,17so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.18This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.
—Revelation 13:11–18 ESV

Insist that the digital ID be a requirement for voting, **loans, drivers license, passport, travel, marriage certificate, large purchases**.

This will then expand from mere voting and approach what Russia demands

“I am not sure what problem they are trying to solve.”

The problem they are trying to solve is there are too many citizens out there who insist on thinking for themselves.

The politicians want total obedience.
