Stopping the Digital ID Locomotive - a strategy that WILL work

Elaborating further my strategy of using fear-based campaigns to get the "normies" to reject digital ID

Stopping the Digital ID Locomotive - a strategy that WILL work

Last night, I joined Robyn from on a livestream to discuss my strategy of stopping the rollout of digital IDs through the use of fear-based advertising campaigns.

Here is a TL;DR version of my strategy. It sums up my approach in less than a minute.

Reason will NOT work but emotional triggers absolutely WILL!

I outlined my strategy in great detail in the video and accompanying article below, which I strongly encourage you check out in order to fully understand what I am actually proposing:

This is how we ACTUALLY DEFEAT Digital ID
Failure is NOT an option!

Hopefully, this will help prevent any misunderstandings (and the resulting arguments) and also the need for me to repeatedly explain again things I have already outlined (in very great detail) previously.

One aspect in my discussion with Robyn which we didn’t have enough time to go through and yet is absolutely CRUCIAL to understand, is the concept of incrementalism.

Digital IDs will be rolled out through INCREMENTALISM

A formal definition for Incrementalism is:

a method of working by adding to or subtracting from a project using many small incremental changes instead of a few large jumps.

Logical incrementalism implies that the steps in the process are sensible. Logical incrementalism focuses on “the Power-Behavioral Approach to planning rather than to the Formal Systems Planning Approach”.

Now here is the most important part for the purpose of this conversation:

In public policy, incrementalism is the method of change by which many small policy changes are enacted over time in order to create a larger broad based policy change

Or in simple terms, especially as they pertain to the rollout of Digital IDs:

Death (or worse!) by a thousand cuts.

Incrementalism works. A “big bang” approach does not. If you boil the frog slowly, it is more likely to get cooked. If you put the high heat straight away, it will just jump out as its survival instinct kicks in. In Australia, the enemy is in it to win it which is why incrementalism is being applied…and all sides of politics (with a few minor exceptions) are singing the ‘virtues’ of “age verification” for accessing social media. In the UK however, there is a different play underway at the moment. The incrementalism will come later…most likely under the next government of Reform/Advance UK, who are positioning themselves at the moment as the “saviours” of the British people from the menace of Starmer's digital BritCard.

Someone who has done truly phenomenal work in my opinion explaining Incrementalism in the context of Digital IDs is Miles Harris:

The REAL DIGITAL ID: One Login creates the verified digital ID. The gov.uk wallet then stores and manages that ID. Later, the same wallet or its credential will be used within banking, employer & landlord apps.

Miles has done a series of videos and accompanying posts explaining how the incremental tactics are being implemented, in both the UK and the US, in the context of rolling out digital IDs and shoving these down people’s collective throats.

I strongly encourage you to review the material from Miles I have provided below. I consider it mandatory viewing and reading.

You will likely never be directly asked to sign up for a digital ID; instead, you will “voluntarily” adopt it through convenience.

Incrementalism at play in Australia’s digital ID rollout

The Age Verification legislation which passed in Australia last December will start to be enforced from December 10 (in just two months time):

Here is US-born and former senior member of Twitter’s “Trust & Safety” team in the pre-Musk era (as well as former staff member for a Democrat Congressman and allegedly also an aspiring CIA case officer at some point), Australia’s eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant, presenting the government narrative (which she created!) of “this is needed to protect the children”:

This regime lackey is universally referred to by Australian freedom lovers as “eKaren”…and RIGHTFULLY SO!

/2:03

Here is the ad campaign “eKaren”’s office has launched in preparation for the commencement of enforcement of “age verification” on December 10:

The “age verification” requirement is TEXTBOOK Incrementalism and while Inman-Grant (a.k.a. “eKaren”) stated on several occasions that while Digital ID is “one” of the methods for “age verification”, it will not be the only method:

Those who agree to “verify” their age to access Facebook or YouTube by uploading their government photo ID may think that they have dodged the Digital ID bullet for now but obviously they don’t understand what Incrementalism is and how it is executed.

Here is the next step after that:

Pretty simple from here…and it’s game, set, MATCH for us in Australia. ALL the required tech is READY TO GO NOW! And in the future, other places too… https://rumble.com/v6t2ayz-digital-id-secure-convenient-and-voluntary-is-the-new-safe-and-effective.html

The video below does a pretty good job outlining the exact steps for Incrementalism in the Australian context so it’s worth checking out but I do also have to say that towards the end, it also tries to normalise somewhat digital IDs and make them an acceptable solution in certain circumstances.

You can either watch in full or tune out once it starts to do that. Your choice (as it always is):

Who will be deployed to counter any campaigns we attempt to run to stop the Digital ID rollout?

Australia's 'nudge unit' answers some direct questions

Once we engage in what I discuss in this video with Robyn, and especially if we do our job well and get traction, these are almost certain to be the people who will be tasked by the enemy to engage with us and counter our campaigns in Australia specifically:

Link to the nudge unit website

These are people who live and breathe this type of work and are paid very very well for the work they do!

We can still prevail (especially because we will NEVER engage in lying) BUT we need to be laser focused and determined at least as much as they are.

The “officers” from the “BETA Unit” (which is Australia’s premier ‘nudge unit’, at least in the civilian space) are soft spoken and appear like boring government bureaucrats but do not let this confuse you:

These are shrewd and RUTHLESS operators!

This is what they are PAID (and paid very very well by the Australian taxpayers) to be.

The recent announcement by the British PM to mandate Digital IDs for all UK workers is a DISTRACTION

What Starmer announced in the UK is the EXACT OPPOSITE of Incrementalism and given the tactic of incrementalism has worked so incredibly well for the real enemy during Covid, as well as many times prior to that, there is no reason for them to stop betting on a winning horse so to speak by showing their final hand too soon and getting everyone united in opposition too soon.

While the enemy absolutely DO make mistakes from time to time, this to me seems like a very rookie mistake and one thing is certain:

The enemy are NOT rookies!

I touched on this briefly in my conversation with Robyn and how Nigel Farage and his Reform party will end up as the biggest beneficiaries of this (and then still roll out digital IDs once in government but this time through using the approach that actually works: incrementalism) but these two posts by outline it in much more detail…and much better than I can explain it myself:

The BritCard Psyop: What Is True Digital ID in the UK?
Digital ID in the UK is not the BritCard. True digital ID includes the possible BritCard but to understand what true digital ID is read here.
UK Digital ID - The BritCard Bait and Switch
In my previous article I suggested that the UK’s proposed “mandatory” digital ID, called the BritCard, was a bait and switch psyop.

Miles Harris has also done some great work explaining that in the two videos and associated posts below:

Why Compulsory Digital ID will Fail... By Design
Why Compulsory Digital ID Will Fail
After The PsyOp: The Real Digital ID Roll-Out
Despite public denials, UK governments have been quietly building the infrastructure and laws needed for a digital identity system.

Despite all the above though, the regime’s complete dismissal of the concerns raised by almost 3 million UK citizens cannot go without a response.

I propose a limited ‘shot across the bow’ as a show of force as well as the willingness to escalate significantly if the need arises. It will also serve as a good test of the ACTUAL resolve within British society to defeat ANY attempt to introduce a digital ID in ANY shape or form and under ANY pretext (no exceptions!).

This resolve is important to test before the next Reform/Advance UK government takes office and moves to introduce Digital ID through incrementalism.

Here are some specific actions I propose which go beyond signing petitions and demonstrating (two things that clearly do not work, never have and never will):

  • Stop paying select taxes/levies that are the easiest/most feasible.
  • Run on the major banks. Everyone goes and takes as much money out in cash as quickly as they can. I discuss this tactic, the justification for it and how to execute it properly here.
  • Blocking government email serves and phone lines through automated calls and emails that will clog the system and maybe even bring email servers/phone lines down. There are various tools to do that. The Revenue and Customs service should be specifically targeted as should the Prime Minister’s office.
  • Publicly burning tax assessment notices and any payment notices from the regime’s UK branch.

The Regime’s subsidiary in the UK basically told almost 3 million Britons to eff off…as expected! While I still maintain that this is unlikely to pass through Parliament in its current form (and the ACTUAL play is a Reform/Advance UK coalition government rolling this out via incrementalism under various pretexts), it may be time to consider a “shot across the bow” for two purposes: Indicating to the current puppets, as well as the next ones, that this will NOT stand in ANY way, shape or form; and Test the ACTUAL resolve of the British people to resist and defeat this. Talk is cheap and signing petitions is completely worthless as far as I’m concerned. It is a very opportune time to test #2 because as I maintain, this is still the ‘trial run’ from the regime rather than the real deal and if sufficient resolve is not there yet, there is still time to address that using various tactics, including the ones I propose here: https://actionabletruth.substack.com/p/defeating-digital-id So what should a “shot across the bow” look like at this point you ask? Here are some ideas: Stop paying select taxes/levies that are the easiest/most feasible. Run on the major banks. Everyone goes and takes as much money out in cash as quickly as they can. I discuss this tactic, the justification for it and how to execute it properly here: https://actionabletruth.substack.com/i/112186619/get-your-money-out-of-the-big-banks Blocking government email serves and phone lines through automated calls and emails that will clog the system and maybe even bring email servers/phone lines down. There are various tools to do that. The Revenue and Customs service should be specifically targeted as should the Prime Minister’s office. Publicly burning tax assessment notices and any payment notices from the regime. Any other ideas along those lines you may have are welcome. Under NO circumstances should people resort to violence and attacking regime installations or property at this time..or any regime official or their lackies. This is clearly the ONE response the regime is hoping for. The uniformed enforcers in the UK are clearly still aligned with the regime and will OBEY any and all orders to “restore order”. https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-digital-id-brit-card-petition-starmer-surveillance

UK Government Dismisses Public Outcry, Pushes Ahead with Controversial Digital ID Plan
Over 2.7 million signatures couldn’t move the needle on a dystopian plan already set in motion.

Few examples for what I have in mind in terms of campaign creatives

Feel free to add more suggestions in the comments

First example I want to highlight actually comes from a big company (Thales) making a digital ID product. They’ve created this promo video for their solution. Watch closely:

This can literally be used AS-IS as even most “normies” will find the above video terrifying…especially the part about “mandatory vaccination”!

Another good example comes from the UK:

Personally, I’d like to ramp up the fear even further by for example showing granny walking in the rain and subsequently getting robbed, all because she couldn’t get on the bus.

There is also this ad from the Australian Government itself that is currently running as part of a government campaign aiming to teach Aussies how to use the Internet safely (funny that):

I can see very very clearly how this clip can be EASILY repurposed for running scare campaigns against Digital ID with minimal effort.

Can YOU see that as well?

If you have any more examples of specific campaigns or other material I should look at as potential advertising collateral, please let me know in the comments section.

Harnessing the “bystander effect”

An alternative to fear-based campaigns

This 4 minute clip from @The Corbett Report is one of the most profound things I have seen in recent years!!! No joke. If this can be harnessed effectively to combatting the Digital ID agenda, I would argue this can work even better than the fear-based approach I have been advocating. It will not be a hyperbole to say that watching this and internalising properly what it REALLY means….and then IMPLEMENTING it, could make the difference between freedom and what I refer to as the “FINAL enslavement”. YES, it is THAT important! Pay very very close attention. https://open.substack.com/pub/corbettreport/p/flashback-the-bystander-effect-solutionswatch?r=yylj&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false

This may work equally as well as the approach I discuss in this interview…and may potentially be even MORE effective if understood properly and harnessed effectively:

If I could only say one thing, it would be THIS:
