Getting tracked, tagged, registered, surveilled, data collected, spied on and ultimately targeted for dissent

Editor's note: The important thing to recognize is that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a federally subcontracted out private corporation. The creation of the corporate entity known as the DHS was structured to protect the US corporation (The United States of America "Incorporated") with many ex-military people working at DHS. The DHS is the expansion of a federal quasi-military police force with a huge bureaucratic army of 260,000 employees and a budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024 of $103.2 billion. DHS already runs their fusion centers (the US military is fully engaged at these fusion centers) and they have been caught repeatedly spying on Americans. What makes anyone think the DHS having individual digital IDs for every American won't track, tag, register, surveil, collect data and spy on you? How are 260,000 bureaucrats (federal employees) going to justify their employment with a government paycheck without "going to war on Americans?" 260,000 bureaucrats with a $103.2 billion budget protecting the US corporation (the flow of money) and its infrastructure partially explains why Obama is meeting in "secret" with democratic legislators. That's what executives for private corporations do: plan in secret. What Americans need to comprehend is the ongoing effort by an "emergency-based military-police state command structure in place which ranges outward from the DHS through the Pentagon, FEMA and the Department of Justice (DoJ) and uses Fusion Centers to coordinate the profiling of dissent among the American population". How can this federally subcontracted corporation justify its $103.2 billion annual existence when US infrastructure is collapsing?

DHS Outlines Digital ID Initiative For "Travel, Immigration and Citizenship Status, Employment, Residency Status and More"

All while paying lip-service to privacy.

By Ken Macon | June 24, 2023

The US Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) recent unveiling of a $1.7 million initiative to foster the development of digital wallets will raise eyebrows among privacy advocates. While DHS's Science & Technology Directorate ostensibly presents this as the "Privacy Preserving Digital Credential Wallets & Verifiers" SVIP Topic Call, the devil will be in the details.

The plan is to use the system for "travel, immigration and citizenship status, employment, residency status and more."

A look at the DHS's announcement shows a particular emphasis on wallets that are compatible with World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Verifiable Credential Data Model (VCDM) and W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DID) standards. On the surface, this may appear as a step toward standardization. However, this type of centralization could create a monoculture that will also speed up the move towards centralized digital IDs – which could be the entire plan.

Moreover, while the DHS claims to prioritize the portability and interoperability of these wallets, the question of who will wield the power and control over these centralized standards remains open to debate. The shadow of governmental overreach looms large, especially in an era where data is often considered more valuable than gold.

Melissa Oh, SVIP managing director, has lauded the initiative, stating, "Preserving the privacy of individuals as they use digital wallets to store their credentials is deeply important in ensuring the secure, confidential nature of their digital interactions in an increasingly interconnected world."
