Mexico Moves Closer To Biometric ID - Will The People Comply?

As of Thursday July 17th, several new laws went into effect in Mexico which are likely to greatly increase the push towards a digital surveillance state.

The Mexican government says these new laws are aimed at fighting organized crime, drug trafficking, and helping with the search for missing people. The government has also argued that controversial changes to the nation’s telecommunications laws are designed to bridge the so-called “digital divide”, referring to the limited access to internet and cellular service in rural areas compared to urban environments.

Death of the Middle Class: Why You’re Falling Behind

The economy is growing. Corporate profits continue to skyrocket. So, where’s your share? For millions in the U.S., U.K., and beyond, it feels like paychecks aren’t moving. But the numbers don’t lie – the middle class is being squeezed today harder than ever before. [Read More]

The Agenda: Their Vision - Your Future (2025)


The Agenda: Their Vision | Your Future is a feature-length independent documentary produced by Mark Sharman, former UK broadcasting executive at ITV and Sky (formerly BSkyB). In fiction and fact, there have always been people and organisations with ambitions to control the world. And now the oligarchs who pull the strings of finance and power finally have the tools to achieve their global objectives: omnipresent surveillance, artificial intelligence, digital currency, and ultimately digital identities.

The potential for social control of our lives and minds is alarmingly real. The plan has been decades in the making and has seen infiltration of governments, local councils, big business, civil society, the media, and, crucially, education. A ceaseless push for a new reality, echoing Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World or George Orwell’s 1984.

The Agenda: Their Vision | Your Future examines the digital prison that awaits us if we do not push back right now. How your food, energy, money, travel, and even your access to the internet could be limited and controlled; how financial power is strangling democracy; and how global institutions like the World Health Organisation are commandeered to champion ideological and fiscal objectives. The centrepiece is man-made climate change and, with it, the race to net zero. Both are encapsulated in the United Nations and its Agenda 2030. A force for good? Or “a blank check for totalitarian global control”? The Agenda presents expert views from the UK, the USA, and Europe.

AI Pioneer Warns: Shut Down or Die

Is AI Going To Kill All Of Us? One Of The Pioneers In The Field Has Warned That “Everyone Will Die” If AI Is Not Shut Down

AI technology has been developing at an exponential rate, and it appears to be just a matter of time before we create entities that can think millions of times faster than we do and that can do almost everything better than we can.  So what is going to happen when we lose control of such entities?  Some AI models are already taking the initiative to teach themselves new languages, and others have learned to “lie and manipulate humans for their own advantage”.  Needless to say, lying is a hostile act.  If we have already created entities that are willing to lie to us, how long will it be before they are capable of taking actions that are even more harmful to us?

ScotAccount: A Digital ID that is Being Introduced Across Scotland

Scotland is implementing a digital ID system, known as ScotAccount, to streamline access to government services, including healthcare, benefits and taxes.

The system raises surveillance and privacy concerns due to the centralisation of sensitive citizen data, increasing the risk of illegal access by hackers and governments.

Civil rights group Big Brother Watch is warning that the scheme could become a mandatory ID system, disadvantaging those who rely on physical documents and letters. [Read More]
