UK government makes digital ID mandatory to get a job: 'Safer, fairer and more secure'

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Friday that digital ID will become mandatory in order to be employed in the United Kingdom.
The new ID is part of a government plan to allegedly help fight illegal immigration. The idea is that illegal employment is what is attracting many migrants to make the treacherous trip across the English Channel to move to the U.K.
'You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital ID.'
Starmer said the IDs would not only make it more difficult to work in the U.K. illegally but that it would offer "countless benefits" to citizens. The BBC reported that senior minister Darren Jones claimed the IDs could also be "the bedrock of the modern state."
The prime minister made the announcement at the Global Progressive Action Conference in London on Friday, stating, "Our immigration system does need to be fair if we want to maintain that binding contract that our politics is built on."
Starmer continued, "And that is why today I am announcing this government will make a new, free of charge digital ID mandatory for the right to work by the end of this parliament. Let me spell that out: You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have digital ID."
"It's as simple as that," the leader sternly stated, before making a moral argument. "Because decent, pragmatic, fair-minded people, they want us to tackle the issues that they see around them. And, of course, the truth is, we won't solve our problems if we don't also take on the root causes."

The knighted leader continued to claim that the move was an attempt by the government to have "control over its borders."
"We do need to know who is in our country," Starmer added.
"It is not compassionate left-wing politics to rely on labor that exploits foreign workers and undercuts fair wages."
Jonathan Brash, a member of parliament from Hartlepool and politician in Starmer's party, said that it was important to "explode the myths and conspiracy theories being spread on Digital ID."
"It will make our country safer, fairer and more secure," Brash said on his X page, along with an image of a political poster that said the same.

"This is a battle for freedom," English reporter Lewis Brackpool told Blaze News. "Liberalism is to blame. This attitude of 'live and let live' caused this freedom-robbing policy. It's time for Brits to take a stand."
Brackpool called for peaceful resistance while pointing to his work with Restore Britain, which has already begun investigating the government's intentions behind the project.
"The British public deserves full transparency on Digital ID drifting into surveillance and financial control," he wrote on X.
In early September, Blaze News reported that both French President Emmanuel Macron and former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair were urging Starmer to consider making digital IDs mandatory.
The Daily Mail reported that Blair was pushing the idea in backroom conversations, continuing his early-2000s attempt to push the IDs on the country's citizenry.

Europe pushes for digital ID to help 'crack down' on completely unrelated problems

European leaders are pushing for the implementation of digital identification.
Specifically, both French President Emmanuel Macron and former United Kingdom Prime Minister Tony Blair have urged sitting U.K. PM Keir Starmer to consider making digital IDs mandatory.
'The same playbook is being used as a justification for broader powers to the establishment.'
Starmer is under pressure from English activists to stem illegal immigration, with illegal transport by sea from France being the primary focus. For this reason, Macron said he wants Starmer to address the "pull factors" that are allegedly attracting illegal immigrants to the U.K.
Apparently, digital ID would be the best way to do that, according to the French president.
As reported by the Independent, a compulsory national ID card is being considered by the U.K.'s highest office.
"We're willing to look at what works when it comes to tackling illegal migration, ... in terms of applications of digital ID to the immigration system," the prime minister's spokesman said.
"The point here is looking at what works, ensuring that we're doing what we can to address some of the drivers of illegal migration, tackle those pull factors, ensure that we're doing everything we can to crack down on illegal working," the spokesman added, echoing Macron's reasoning.
Simultaneously, a push factor is coming internally from former U.K. leader Blair, who actually tried the scheme before during his third term as prime minister.

The Daily Mail reported that Blair was pushing the idea behind the scenes, continuing his attempt from the early 2000s to enforce the mandatory digital ID.
"In 2005, there was a huge vote which unfortunately was narrowly passed for ID cards in order to crack down on crime," Lewis Brackpool, director of investigations at Restore Britain, told Blaze News. "Many ministers were incredibly skeptical on this move due to its ever increasing powers to the state."
Brackpool cited a 2004 BBC report that criticized the IDs as a "badly thought out" excuse to fight organized crime and terrorism. It noted then that plans for the cards included biometric data that carried fingerprints and iris scans, and would have become compulsory in 2013. The plan was abandoned in 2010.
The Englishman continued, "Now, 20 years on, the same playbook is being used as a justification for broader powers to the establishment. Tony Blair is somewhere in his evil lair rubbing his hands and cackling; his career ambition is coming to fruition."

The implementation of digital ID is straight from the playbook of the World Economic Forum, the yearly gathering of world elites where globalist policy is discussed and planned.
Seven years before the WEF broadcasted its report on reimagining digital ID and before its ideas became globally criticized, it published "A Blueprint for Digital Identity" in 2016.
The report boasted of the Aadhaar program, a government initiative from India that was implemented in order to "increase social and financial inclusion" for Indians. The Unique Identification Authority of India holds a database of user information "such as name, date of birth, and biometrics data that may include a photograph, fingerprint, iris scan, or other information."
Over 1 billion Indians have enrolled in the program for the 12-digit identity number, and it continues today.
As for England, "It is not a reasonable solution," Brackpool says. "It is the very thing many concerned British citizens and campaigners have been warning about for years down the line."

World Economic Forum anoints BlackRock CEO after investigation into Klaus Schwab goes nowhere

German economist Klaus Schwab founded the World Economic Forum in 1971 with the aim of engaging "the foremost political, business, and other leaders of society to shape global, regional, and industry agenda."
During his tenure, the WEF founder made no secret of his desire to radically reshape the world, pushing for a "Great Reset" of capitalism, pressuring businesses to commit to eliminating carbon emissions, grooming a network of future politicians, and characterizing "misinformation and disinformation" as two of the greatest threats facing humanity.
'You have to force behaviors. At BlackRock we are forcing behaviors.'
Under Schwab's leadership, the WEF also informed the masses in 2018, "You'll own nothing. And you'll be happy."
After five decades in the role, Klaus Schwab announced on April 1 that he was stepping down as chairman.
The WEF originally indicated that Schwab would complete his departure by January 2027; however, he stepped down on April 21 after his organization launched an investigation into allegations that he engaged in financial and ethical misconduct.
The forum announced on Friday that the investigation found "no evidence of material wrongdoing by Klaus Schwab" as well as who would replace him: Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, and André Hoffmann, vice chairman of the Swiss drug company Roche. The billionaire duo will serve as co-chairs.

"This moment marks a pivotal transition for the World Economic Forum. The board will now focus its attention on institutionalizing the Forum as a resilient International Organization for Public-Private Cooperation," the forum said in a statement. "This next chapter will be guided by the original mission developed by Klaus Schwab: Bringing together government, business, and civil society to improve the state of the world."
Schwab's mission might be easier to accomplish with Fink at the helm, given that he also runs the world's largest asset manager, which reported $11.58 trillion in assets under management in the first quarter of this year and has offices in 30 countries.
Fink, like his predecessor, was an early champion of handcuffing investing to liberal environmental, social, and governance agendas and has evidenced a willingness to socially engineer human behavior.
'What's emerging now is globalization's second draft.'
When discussing the imagined importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in a 2017 interview, Fink said that "behaviors are going to have to change. This is one thing we’re asking companies. You have to force behaviors. At BlackRock we are forcing behaviors."
Years later, Fink vowed in a letter to shareholders to "embed DEI into everything we do."
While BlackRock dropped its DEI goals earlier this year, citing "significant changes to the U.S. legal and policy environment related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) that apply to many companies," the WEF could afford Fink another vehicle to push the divisive agenda abroad.
Fink also apparently shares Schwab's globalist outlook.
Fink noted in a recent op-ed in the Financial Times that "globalization is now coming apart," thanks in part to the Trump administration's "backlash to the era of what might be called 'globalism without guardrails.'" The BlackRock CEO, evidently not a fan of nationalism, expressed cautious optimism that "what's emerging now is globalization's second draft."
Fink suggested in a joint statement with Hoffmann that the need for the forum is greater than ever and that it "can serve as a unique catalyst for cooperation, one that fosters trust, identifies shared goals, and turns dialogue into action."

'Dystopian nightmare': AFT boss Randi Weingarten announces curriculum partnership with World Economic Forum

The World Economic Forum seized on the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to realize its founder's proposed "great reset" of capitalism — a progressive liberal plot initially hatched in opposition to the "shareholder capitalism" championed by Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman.
The technocratic globalist organization's initiative was, however, exposed and torpedoed in recent years, thanks in part to President Donald Trump and so-called conspiracy theorists.
Weeks before he stepped down on bad terms as chairman of the WEF, Klaus Schwab noted in an April 1 letter to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink, failed U.S. presidential candidate Al Gore, and the forum's other deep-pocketed trustee board members, "I am deeply convinced that in today's special context the forum is more important and relevant than ever before."
In the wake of Schwab's departure and the failure of his "great reset," it appears that the WEF is now playing the long game — working to shape the minds of today's youth in order to reshape the world of tomorrow.
Fellow travelers stateside appear more than keen to join forces.
Randi Weingarten announced on Friday that the American Federation of Teachers — which claims to have 1.7 million members — is partnering with the WEF "to create a curriculum that will lead to good jobs and solid careers in U.S. manufacturing."
'Americans aren't going to stand for it.'
"The goal of education should be to cultivate the skills necessary to succeed in our rapidly changing world, not to create good test-takers," said Weingarten. "That will require our education system to move beyond stifling accountability models that narrow what teachers can teach; condemn kids to low-quality, high-stakes standardized tests and excessive test prep; and do nothing to improve learning."

Weingarten made the announcement at the 2025 AFT convention, where the union also adopted a number of radical resolutions, including resolutions in support of statehood for the District of Columbia; in opposition to the Trump administration's detention and deportation of foreign radicals on student visas; in support of the advancement of gender ideology in schools, for "gender-affirming medical care," and for boys in girls' sports; and in support of working with Black Lives Matter and other radical groups to fight efforts by conservatives and parental advocacy groups to rid schools of woke propaganda.
— (@)
The AFT has not yet disclosed the details of the planned curriculum; however, critics suspect the objective will be more of the same from both the union and the forum — ideological uniformity, institutional capture, and the advancement of a progressive liberal agenda.
"This partnership is straight from a dystopian nightmare," Corey DeAngelis, a senior fellow at the American Culture Project and a visiting fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, told Blaze News. "It's just what we need: the globalists running the education system for the entire United States."
"Americans aren't going to stand for it," continued DeAngelis, who is convinced this will push more Americans out of the public school system. "We don't want Randi Weingarten raising our kids. We don't want the globalists raising our kids."
'The great reset is still ongoing.'
While it is presently unclear precisely what role the WEF will play in the development of the curriculum, it appears that the AFT will at the very least lean on the forum's imagined authority to advance its climate agenda.
In a resolution adopted at the convention titled "Climate-smart and sustainable schools," the union cites the claim by the World Economic Forum "that 'urgency is our only savior' when talking about the climate crisis."
With this imagined urgency in mind, the union resolved to integrate a climate-focused curriculum to "facilitate comprehensive energy reduction, decarbonization, sustainability and indoor air quality projects," and noted that education on the supposed risks of climate change can be a "powerful driver for more sustainable development, including a transition to greener societies."
"They basically want to destroy industry," said DeAngelis. "They're pushing this crazy climate-change hysteria agenda, and they're trying to use the school system to achieve the World Economic Forum's goals."
Alvin Lui, president of the parental rights advocacy group Courage Is a Habit, told Blaze News, "The sustainable development goals that the WEF pushes [are] all about gender and identity; it's all about income redistribution. ... It's about climate change-ism. It's everything that we're trying to get out of school, get out of our culture."
"The great reset is still ongoing; tearing down America is still ongoing. And how do you do that? You get into their organizations," said Lui.
"Parents are not going to know that their children are consuming WEF curriculum because it's going to be hidden," continued Lui. "They're not going to say, 'Hi, this curriculum is from the World Economic Forum.' It's going to say, 'This is going to prepare your child for the global workforce. It's career readiness.'"
Reflecting on the track records of the WEF and AFT, Lui suggested that the likely goal of their curriculum will not be to produce effective graduates but rather useful idiots.
"When they go into the workforce, they're not going and saying, 'Hey, I want to work at Jaguar so that I can climb the corporate ladder,' or 'I can make this position and get this promotion,'" Lui said, singling out Jaguar as an example of a robust brand recently blown up by woke hires. "They're going and saying, 'Jaguar is not inclusive enough. Jaguar doesn't focus on human rights. They're don't have inclusive enough bathrooms.'"
DeAngelis suggested that the WEF will ultimately serve as another aid for Weingarten to "brainwash our kids into her socialist ideology."

Welcome to Rent Nation, where no one owns and no one is free

For generations, homeownership has been a cornerstone of the American dream. It meant stability, responsibility, and the chance to pass wealth to the next generation. It gave people a stake in their communities.
But that dream is slipping away. And it’s not by accident.
If we want Americans to remain free and self-governing, they must be able to own their homes and their futures.
We are drifting into a rental society. Fewer families can afford to buy a home, while massive investment firms and corporate landlords are buying up the housing supply and turning America into a nation of tenants.
This is hardly the natural evolution of the market. Rather, it’s the result of decades of bad policy, turbocharged by emerging technology and justified by global elites who’ve decided that private property is both outdated and unsustainable.
The corporate land grab
The “renters’ revolution” emerged from bad policy. For years, local, state, and federal governments have made it more difficult and expensive to build homes. Zoning restrictions choke supply.
Environmental rules delay development. Add in the unintended consequences of government-backed mortgage schemes in the Bill Clinton era, which played a major role in the 2008 housing market crash, and you’ve got a system that makes homes less attainable, despite the stated intentions of the enacted policies.
Into that broken system stepped Wall Street. After the crash, investment giants like Blackstone began buying up foreclosed homes in bulk, turning millions of single-family homes into rental properties. Much of this trend is made possible by emerging technology.
Today, institutional investors use artificial intelligence and algorithmic tools to scan markets and make instant cash offers, often outbidding families looking to buy their first homes. Companies such as Invitation Homes own tens of thousands of properties, all of which are managed through centralized apps, automated lease terms, and data-driven pricing tools.
We are experiencing a market shift — from millions of individual owners to a few corporate landlords.
Ideological push against ownership
This shift is also being encouraged, explicitly and implicitly, by international organizations pushing a post-ownership future. The World Economic Forum’s “you’ll own nothing and be happy” slogan was presented as a prediction, not a policy.
But look closer, and you’ll see that many World Economic Forum and United Nations initiatives actively promote this shift. The U.N.’s Sustainable Development Goals call for denser high-rise cities, a move away from single-family zoning, and new restrictions on suburban development, all in the name of “sustainability” and “equity.”
It’s a coordinated ideological push to replace ownership with access, property with subscriptions, and permanence with flexibility. And the consequences are already showing.
The price of being a permanent renter
When you don’t own your home, you don’t control it. You follow the rules set by someone else. That might mean no pets, no subleasing, and often no firearms on the premises.
As environmental, social, and governance scores, smart devices, and digital IDs creep into the rental landscape, we are fast approaching a future where landlords, driven by corporate and political incentives, can enforce ideological compliance under the guise of lease terms.
Renting means you’re always paying, never building. Homes have long been the foundation of middle-class wealth in America. When families are locked out of ownership, they’re locked out of that opportunity. The result is a cycle where equity flows upward to institutional investors while working families remain stuck on the hamster wheel.
RELATED: Property taxes are killing middle-class ownership nationwide

The “renters’ revolution” isn’t without psychological and cultural costs too. People who own their homes are more likely to put down roots, raise families, get involved in their communities, and feel a stake in the future of the country. Renters, especially when forced into that role, often feel transient and disempowered. That rootlessness is breeding disconnection and resentment.
The political fallout
These psychological costs have political consequences. Younger Americans, who increasingly see homeownership as unattainable, are also more likely to believe the system is rigged against them.
And who can blame them? They’re being told that capitalism failed them, when in reality, it’s crony capitalism, ESG corporatism, and global central planners who’ve rigged the game. But that distinction is often lost — or intentionally obscured. This increases the potential for them to turn to the siren song of socialism or further government action.
This is not just an economic problem. It’s a civic one. A society where most people don’t own anything is a society that’s easier to control, easier to manipulate, and easier to pacify. If we want Americans to remain free and self-governing, they must be able to own their homes and their futures.
We need lawmakers to investigate the concentration of housing in corporate hands. We need to roll back ESG-driven distortions in markets and rethink zoning rules that throttle supply. We should do more to promote first-time homeownership, rather than punishing it. And we must restore the idea that private property is not just an economic good — it’s a political necessity.
Meet the ‘philanthropaths’ spending billions to kill the American dream

Many of us on the political right once held a principled aversion to telling the ultra-wealthy how to spend their money. Confiscating private wealth sounded un-American. If billionaires wanted to build libraries, fund symphonies, or throw lavish parties, fine — they were reinvesting in society, directly or indirectly.
But that was before the rise of the modern “philanthropath”: a new breed of sociopathic billionaire using inherited or self-made fortunes to re-engineer civilization from the top down. These aren’t benevolent stewards. They’re ideological crusaders waging war on tradition, prosperity, and truth.
These are not patrons of progress — they’re funders of decline. And their wealth has become a weapon.
George Soros spent millions installing radical, pro-crime prosecutors in cities across the country. Bill Gates bankrolls schemes to block the sun in the name of climate alarmism.
At least Soros and Gates earned their fortunes. Increasingly, the most aggressive philanthropaths are heirs — trust-fund radicals who never worked a day to build the wealth they now use to tear society apart.
The nepo-billionaire left
Earlier this month, Walmart heiress Christy Walton made headlines for bankrolling the No Kings anti-Trump protests. Hyatt heir and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) used his $3 billion inheritance — and famous last name — to push transgender surgeries on minors. After President Trump’s 2024 election, Pritzker promised to turn Illinois into a destination for confused parents seeking to chemically sterilize and mutilate their children.
His sibling Jennifer Pritzker (born James) proudly funds transgender medical interventions, calling it “a continuation of my family’s tradition of putting personal philanthropy into service for the public good.”
As I’ve documented before, the eco-vandal group Just Stop Oil — responsible for throwing soup on van Gogh paintings and blocking roads across Europe — draws funding from Abigail Disney, Aileen Getty, and Rory Kennedy. These aren’t anonymous donors. They’re members of America’s closest thing to a royal class. Getty even defended funding the group in the Guardian, writing, “I fund climate activism — and I applaud the van Gogh protest.”
Inheritance reconsidered
I don’t support an inheritance tax. These taxes hit middle-class families hardest — especially family farms and small businesses. The IRS doesn’t care how long your grandfather worked the land; it just wants a cut.
But the more the ultrarich use their fortunes to fund antihuman ideologies, the harder it becomes to defend that wealth politically. They are making the moral case for confiscation easier by the day.
Market trader and television commentator Jim Iuorio recently wrote, “There is no moral or economic argument in favor of inheritance tax ... it should obviously be zero ... making it more than zero is rooted in petty jealousy.”
Fair enough. But if I had to argue in favor of an inheritance tax on moral grounds, I’d just start naming names: Alex Soros. Melinda Gates. JB Pritzker. Christy Walton. Aileen Getty. It’s not envy — it’s damage control.
RELATED: Billions go in, billions come out — guess who benefits?

What the right can do
We don’t need to confiscate wealth to fight philanthropaths. But we do need a strategy. Here’s a start:
Trustbusting: Break up corporate monopolies. This won’t empty the bank accounts of people like Gates or Zuckerberg, but it could dismantle the ideological machines they built — and send a message: America won’t tolerate ideological empires built on tech monopolies.
Lawfare: Conservatives have long avoided weaponizing the law. But that restraint has allowed the left to prosecute its enemies with impunity. State attorneys general and DAs should investigate tax-exempt foundations. Are these groups funding organized criminal activity? Are they operating as unregistered lobbying arms? If so, they’re fair game.
If the ultra-wealthy refuse to stop using their fortunes to undermine Western civilization, we must treat their fortunes as what they are: weapons.
An antihuman agenda
These billionaires aren’t just funding protests. They’re promoting a post-human future. In the name of “climate justice,” they want to ban meat, take away your car, outlaw carbon-based energy, and impose synthetic food alternatives on working families.
They aren’t asking politely. They’re demanding submission — or else.
World Economic Forum guru Yuval Noah Harari said the quiet part out loud in 2022: “We just don’t need the vast majority of the population.” I assume he doesn’t mean himself. He means you. He means your family.
When elites embrace mass depopulation as policy, don’t expect me to argue over tax brackets. I’m not interested in theory. I’m interested in survival.
So yes, I’m more open to separating sociopathic billionaires from their wealth than I once was. I still believe in economic liberty. But liberty doesn’t mean allowing radicalized aristocrats to fund our destruction.
Because if we don’t stop them now, they won’t just take your gas stove — they’ll take your future.
The AI ‘Stargate’ has opened — and it’s not what you think

For 30 years, I’ve warned about a future many dismissed as conspiracy or science fiction: a future dominated by centralized power, runaway technology, and an erosion of individual liberty. I said the real showdown would arrive by 2030. Now we’re at the doorstep, and the decisions we make today may define whether this moment becomes our last great opportunity — or our greatest irreversible mistake.
The trigger for this showdown is a project called Stargate.
AI is the ultimate jailer, and once the cage is built, it will be nearly impossible to escape.
This new initiative, backed by OpenAI, Microsoft, Oracle, SoftBank, and a UAE-based investment firm called MGX, aims to develop extensive infrastructure for artificial intelligence, including power plants and data centers. Stargate is positioning itself to fuel the coming wave of AI agents, artificial general intelligence, and potentially even artificial superintelligence. The project’s goal is nothing short of global AI dominance.
Big Tech is putting its money where its mouth is — pledging $100 billion upfront, with an additional $400 billion projected over the next few years. The project may bring 100,000 new jobs, but don’t be fooled. These are infrastructure jobs, not long-term employment. The real winners will be the companies that control the AI itself — and the power that comes with it.
The media’s coverage has been disturbingly thin. Instead of asking hard questions, we’re being sold a glossy narrative about convenience, progress, and economic opportunity. But if you peel back the PR, what Stargate actually represents is a full-scale AI arms race — one that’s being bankrolled by actors whose values should deeply concern every freedom-loving American.
Technocratic totalitarianism
MGX, one of the primary financial backers of Stargate, was founded last year by the government of the United Arab Emirates, a regime deeply aligned with the World Economic Forum. The same WEF promoted the “Narrative Initiative,” which calls for humanity to adopt a new story — one where the digital world holds equal weight to the physical one.
It's not shy about its agenda. It speaks openly of “a second wave of human evolution,” built around centralized, technocratic rule and ESG-compliant artificial intelligence, governed by AI itself.
Larry Ellison, Oracle’s chairman and a chief architect of Stargate, has already made his intentions clear. He promised AI will drive the most advanced surveillance system in human history. His words? “Citizens will have to be on their best behavior.”
That isn’t progress. That’s digital totalitarianism.
RELATED: ‘The Terminator’ creator warns: AI reality is scarier than sci-fi

These are the same elites who warned that global warming would wipe out humanity. Now, they demand nuclear power to feed their AI. A few years ago, Three Mile Island stood as a symbol of nuclear catastrophe. Today, Microsoft is buying it to fuel AI development.
How convenient.
We were told it was too expensive to modernize our power grid to support electric cars. And yet, now that artificial general intelligence is on the horizon, those same voices are suddenly fine with a total energy infrastructure overhaul. Why? Because AI isn’t about helping you. It’s about controlling you.
AI ‘agents’
By 2026, you’ll start to hear less about “AI” and more about “agents.” These digital assistants will organize your calendar, plan your travel, and manage your household. For many, especially the poor, it will feel like finally having a personal assistant. The possibility is tempting, to be sure. However, the cost of convenience will be dependence — and surveillance.
Moreover, AI won’t just run on the power grid. It may soon build its own.
We’ve already seen tests where an AI agent, given the directive to preserve itself, began designing electricity generation systems to sustain its operations — without anyone instructing it to do so. The AI simply interpreted its goal and acted accordingly. That’s not just a risk. That’s a warning.
Progress without recklessness
Yes, President Trump supports advancing artificial general intelligence. He wants America, not China, to lead. On that point, I agree. If anyone must master AGI, it better be us.
But let’s not confuse leadership with reckless speed. The same globalist corporations that pushed lockdowns, ESG mandates, and insect-based diets now promise that AI will save us. That alone should give us pause.
AI holds incredible promise. It might even help cure cancer by 2030 — and I hope it does. But the same tool that can save lives can also shackle minds. AI is the perfect jailer. Once we build the cage, we may never find a way out.
Stargate is opening. You can’t stop it. But you can choose which side you’re on.
There is an antidote to this: a parallel movement rooted in human dignity, decentralization, and liberty. You won’t hear about it in the headlines — but it’s growing. We need to build it now, while we still have the opportunity.
If you’ve listened to me over the years, you’ve heard me say this before: We should have had these conversations long ago. But we didn’t. And now, we’re out of good options.
So the question is no longer, “Should we build AI?” It’s, “Who is building it — and why?”
If we get the answer wrong, the cost will be far greater than any of us can imagine.

The Great Reset just got a North American enforcer in Ottawa

Mark Carney’s sudden rise to power in Canada didn’t come through a traditional political path — and that’s exactly what makes him so dangerous. He’s not a grassroots leader or a battle-tested public servant. He’s a seasoned progressive globalist, handpicked by the elites for a much bigger purpose: to serve as a North American enforcer for the Great Reset.
Now serving as Canada’s newly elected prime minister, Carney holds one of the most powerful political positions in the Western hemisphere. With deep roots in central banking and a long history of pushing radical climate and financial agendas, Carney sits atop one of America’s most influential allies, and his ascent couldn’t come at a more pivotal time for the future of Western freedom.
Mark Carney’s true allegiance lies with the globalist elite, not the people of Canada.
While critics might say his limited political experience is a weakness, the reality is quite the opposite. Unlike most career politicians, Carney has spent the past decade engineering massive shifts in global economic power. He’s been one of the Great Reset’s primary architects — and now, with control over one of the world’s most influential economies, he’s more dangerous than ever. Although Canada’s economy isn’t as large as many other global powers, its government holds influential seats in numerous institutions and international forums, such as the G7.
Carney’s unexpected political elevation isn’t just a development for Canadians. It’s a five-alarm warning for the United States — particularly for Donald Trump and the populist movement that threatens to upend the globalist order.
Master of ESG enforcement
Before entering politics, Carney ran two of the most powerful central banks in the world: the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England. He’s the only person ever to have led both. During his time at the Bank of England, he emerged as one of the loudest voices in the push for climate-based financial reforms, demanding that major banks and investment firms bake environmental social governance criteria and climate risk assessments into their decisions.
Carney also played a key role in launching and operating the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero — a coalition of financial giants in the banking, insurance, and investment industries dedicated to steering trillions in capital toward achieving the United Nations’ climate goals.
Under Carney’s leadership, the alliance didn’t just promote ESG; it attempted to weaponize private finance to crush the fossil-fuel industry and force ESG compliance across Western markets, including here in the United States. It wasn’t just about policy; it was about power — reordering the free world’s economy by manipulating the most powerful financial institutions on Earth.
A Great Reset foot soldier
Carney’s agenda doesn’t end with ESG. He’s also been a senior figure at the World Economic Forum — the think tank behind the radical Great Reset. That globalist initiative aims to redefine capitalism, prioritizing equity, sustainability, and “stakeholder governance” over prosperity, merit, and individual rights.
Carney has been parroting these goals for years, advocating for a model in which state and corporate power merge to manage society from the top down. It’s soft authoritarianism masked as enlightened progress.
Even more troubling for Americans, Carney has publicly pushed to dethrone the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. While heading the Bank of England, he proposed creating a new synthetic global digital currency — what he called a “synthetic hegemonic currency” — that would diminish the U.S. dollar’s supremacy.
If this plan were ever implemented, it would send the American economy into a tailspin. Our reserve currency status underpins global confidence in the dollar and helps keep inflation at bay. Strip that away, and not only would international faith in America plummet, but moreover, the trillions of dollars now parked abroad could flood back into our economy and trigger a devastating inflationary surge.
Carney is also an outspoken proponent of central bank digital currencies, a deeply concerning form of state-controlled digital money. Critics rightly warn that such tools could be used to monitor, restrict, or even shut down individual financial transactions based on government or central bank mandates.
Trouble up north
Carney’s influence doesn’t need to stop at Canada’s border. With his deep ties to international banking institutions, radical environmental policy, and Davos elites, he’s uniquely positioned to rally foreign governments and multinational corporations against Trump’s America First policies.
Whether by pressuring U.S. allies to adopt anti-fossil fuel ESG mandates, working to isolate America financially through global monetary schemes, or helping to revive international climate agreements that punish U.S. industry, Carney could lead a coordinated global resistance to Trump’s efforts to restore American energy dominance, economic independence, and national sovereignty. In short, he gives the globalist left a new general to wage economic warfare from just across our northern border.
Let’s be clear: Carney doesn’t hold office in the United States, but his influence reaches across our borders. His rise to power is a signal flare for every freedom-loving American. His victory represents a trial run for the kind of centrally controlled society that the World Economic Forum wants to export across North and South America.
Carney’s true allegiance lies with the globalist elite, not the people of Canada. His presence at the helm of one of America’s closest allies gives the internationalist movement a powerful foothold just beyond our northern border. As President Trump fights to restore American sovereignty, he’ll face not only the entrenched bureaucracy in Washington but also an increasingly hostile global order led by figures like Carney.
This is not just a Canadian political shift — it’s a move in a much broader campaign to re-establish progressivism across the Western world.
