The Data (Use and Access) Act, also known as the DUA Bill, has provided the UK government with the ability to roll out a series of programs that will eventually force citizens to participate in a digital ID program. The law was enacted with the premise of reinforcing security and providing convenience for businesses and individuals, with the true goal of surrendering all data and control to government authorities.
The UK government has eased the public into the concept by launching digital verification services. Phase one enabled citizens to voluntarily create a digital identity to streamline the right to work and the right to rent procedures and provide access to age-restricted products. Phase two will create a foundation for Digital Verification Services (DVS) and government oversight of digital identities. Approved services will receive a trust mark to note that they have been verified by the government. The program is currently in a pilot phase but the government plans to move full speed ahead by the end of the year.
“This independent certification process has given lots of organisations across the UK economy the confidence to start accepting digital identity. In some parts of the economy though government or businesses need extra assurance, beyond the requirements in the trust framework, before a digital identity can be used,” the government noted, later adding, “We estimate that hundreds of thousands of right to work, right to rent and disclosure and barring checks each month are now taking place using digital identity services providers; but that’s just the small step towards a much bigger transformation we want to enable through our work.”
In two years, after people are accustomed to creating and using their digital identity, the government plans to launch a digital wallet (GOV.UK Wallet) that will store citizens’ official government-issued documents. The Home Affairs Committee launched an inquiry into the risks associated with this digital ID, with industries and watchdog services raising a red flag over concerns regarding government overreach and surveillance. Critics are also concerned about the true security measures a centralized database could offer as data breaches and unauthorized access are possible. The initial attempt to create GOV.UK failed and cost the government £200 million and there is no currently publicly disclosed total cost of the plans to create a new version.
Government never implements a policy without expansion. There are already discussions of incorporating tax information into GOV.UK in the future, for example. Digital ID is not about convenience. It’s about CONTROL. The entire agenda is to monitor everything you do, say, and spend in real-time. They need Digital IDs to enforce CBDCs. Without it, they can’t control how you spend money. Every nation will attempt to create its version of a digital ID before they are combined into one centralized database, per United Nations guidelines. There will be public resistance toward these systems as government trust erodes. The plan will never be voluntarily repealed once implemented and overreach will expand until all freedoms are forcibly surrendered.

As some of you may have noticed, I am back on social media. The idea is to post video-based content of interviews (snippets) as well as shorter-form text on Twitter.
I will be posting a story on Instagram where you can ask questions. I will be answering them on video once a month.
The X (Twitter) account is my personal one, which I am starting to use again. The original Armstrong Economics account is also up and active.

Obviously, the government should own everything, there should be no rents, no taxes, and they can take care of us – no problem.
I think I heard that before. Wasn’t that Lenin’s Sales Pitch?
Let’s see. The government paid millions to farmers to kill their chickens to stop bird flu. Might that have anything to do with the price of eggs? Then their is the problem that cows fart. And Bill Gates is cloning meat sho we can eliminate all the cows so he can sleep easy at night instead of have nightmares about their farting. So, open government stores, and then how will that bring prices back down? Oh, dah! Obviously, you seize the farms, just as Stalin did. Of course! That will work.
So Democrats will now swap Transgender Womanhood for you will own nothing and be happy?

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, I read Reuters comments this morning and they said “The dollar sank to a three-year low … the greenback down more than 10% for the year. If it stays that way in the coming days it will be its biggest first half of a year fall since the early 1970s – effectively the era of free-floating currencies.”
The exaggeration and bias in the financial news have become outrageous. I have been in this field for 30 years. Never have I found the press so dishonest and politically driven. They are trying to create the collapse of the dollar to overthrow Trump. This is like the polls. They lie about everything.
P
REPLY: I fully agree. It makes me want to quit and hide under the covers, for they are deliberately distorting the world, and everything they do is to push us into war. I am so sick of the exaggerations and lies, as they do not care about the people, the country, or our future. NOTHING – just the moment and how to win at all costs.
Here is our Dollar Index back to 1902. It allows you to see the real trend and put it all in perspective. Below is the US Dollar Index, which began in 1988. It omitted the dollar high in 1985, not to mention the dollar decline into 1976.
Here is CNN faking the news, standing in the deepest puddle they can find, while the film crew is only ankle deep. Everything is always the worst they can possibly project. They trash the dollar because Trump wants to replace Powell with someone who will lower interest rates. Sorry, Trump is a biased borrower, not a lender. So he looks at everything from only one side of the table. Europe entered negative interest rates in 2014, strip-mining pension funds and bank reserves. Lower rates harm savers for the benefit of borrowers. This is always a one-sided view that never makes sense.
So let me see. Interest rates rise in bull markets and always decline in bear markets. That is reality! However, the press has somehow sold the idea that lowering rates is bullish for the stock market. It is all based on Keynesian Economics, which was based on Government Intervention following Karl Marx. This presumption that the government is capable of managing the economy under socialism is merely presumptuous. Why worry. The socialists will take everything, we will own nothing, and be so excited, happy, and thankful, for in their book, we are too STUPID to understand anything anyhow.
Here is the Great Recession 2007-2009. The stock market rises with RISING rates because that shows there is a demand for money and investing. When rates decline and even went to NEGATIVE to punish people for NOT investing, that is the truth. This is exactly OPPOSITE of the nonsense the FAKE FINANCIAL NEWS reports because they do not give a shit about the truth. They need to find the deepest puddle to exaggerate everything.
There is NO definitive rule that even a specific level of interest rates will impact that market. The strongest bull market was 1929 and there we see the lowest level of interest rates. The other impact is CAPITAL FLOWS. Fort 1929, all the capital poured into the USA because it was here, hiding during World War I. There was the first G4 meeting in 1927 when the central bankers convinced the US to lower interest rates, and that would force the money to return to Europe. That failed.
If you think the stock market will DOUBLE, you will pay 20%.
If you do not think it will rise by 1%, you will not pay 1%.
