Rick Green [00:00:07] Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. It's the WallBuilders Show taking on the hot topics of the day from a biblical, historical and constitutional perspective. I'm Rick Green, America's constitution coach here with David and Tim Barton. And of course, today we're going to be bringing you someone other than the three of us. Alex Newman is one of the great speakers on the circuit out there across the country right now. Just appreciate all that he's doing to restore liberty in this country is helping a lot of people understand the Foundational Principles necessary, very much like what we do at WallBuilders, The Foundation for American Christian Education. Appreciate Alex and everything he does there, but he also shared with our legislators the Pro-Family Legislators Conference, which we do once a year. And we've been sharing a few of those presentations from this most recent conference a few weeks ago with you our WallBuilders listeners. And so, this is another one We're gonna bring you. Alex, of course speaks on a lot of different topics this one specifically is a little bit unique. We haven't really covered this that much on wall builders, Digital ID. So that's why we had him speaking at the legislature's conference. So, the legislators could be thinking about what they can do to make sure this is not used to control the population. I know that sounds crazy when I say it, it is very Orwellian. We had all kinds of books written since the 40s and 50s and even before that about this concept, but now we see it within reach. It could actually be done. So, Alex is going to be addressing this at the Pro-Family Legislators Conference and it'll be a chance for you to hear what he shared with the legislators there just a few weeks ago. So, we're going to take an early break in the program. We'll be back, Alex Newman speaking at the Pro-Family Legislators Conference. When we return, you're listening to The WallBuilders Show.

Rick Green [00:02:50] Welcome back to the WallBuilders Show. Thanks for staying with us. As I mentioned before the break, we'll be hearing from Alex Newman at the Pro Family Legislators Conference. Let's jump right in. 

Alex Newman [00:02:58] Hey guys, what an honor and a privilege and a pleasure to be with you, thank you. This issue of Digital ID is really significant. It's not just about the Digital ID. In fact, I often say the Digital IDs not even the real problem. It's a piece of the puzzle. And the Bible warns us in Proverbs chapter 27 that the prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty. So, let's be the prudent. Let's not be the simple because the penalty will be massive. And it will be on your children and your grandchildren and your great grandchildren. And I will show you a little bit about where this all leads if we don't nip it in the bud and stop it now. A lot of people are talking about the Digital ID as a tool to track us, and it is, but it's much more than that. It will eventually become a tool to control us, to control access to just about anything you can imagine. If you wanna see a picture of the future, Communist China will give you a nice little hint about where this is all going. Everybody's Digital ID is connected to their social credit score. If you have a good score, you don't ask questions of the government, you behave yourself, et cetera, you're all right. The moment your score slips into bad territory, you've got a big problem. We also know that it will be used as a compliance mechanism to enforce every bad thing you can think of. And I don't care if you've got all 27 of your COVID boosters, that's just the beginning, okay? This will get worse. It's a vaccine passport on steroids. And it's not some hypothetical future threat. This is the Fabian socialist prime minister of the United Kingdom just a couple of weeks ago, Keir Starmer. 

Keir Starmer [00:04:32] 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. Respell that out. You will not be able to work in the United Kingdom if you do not have Digital ID. 

Alex Newman [00:04:56] Are you kidding me? So, they're taking the bully approach now. Now, they're framing this as a tool to control illegal immigration. And I think all of us understand we have a problem with illegal immigration, but let's not be foolish here. That's the pretext, that's the excuse. In fact, when they first tried this in 2010, I wrote an article about it for the New American Magazine. It was actually the two amigos in Congress, Senator Chuck Schumer and Senator Lindsey Graham. They proposed a biometric digital social security card that you would need to work and pretty much everything else. And by the way, the same legislation that included all of that would have provided amnesty to all of the illegals. So, it's not about controlling illegal immigration. It's about controlling you. Now, in 2015, a decade ago, a group of evildoers got together and they launched ID2020. They put out a fancy website. They said they're building a new global model for the design funding and implementation of Digital ID solutions and technologies. They don't ever quite explain what the problem is that needs a solution. But don't worry, they're smarter than us. And here's the partners, here's the founding partners, notice you see Microsoft, Bill Gates Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the Rockefeller Foundation. What's not to like, right? And this actually melds with Real ID. Even just yesterday, I was talking to some wonderful legislators who are here, I'm grateful for all that you guys are doing. They were, what if we had a system where all of your data was just on your own smartphone and there was no central database? And that all sounds good, you know, we can come up with plenty of great solutions, but the reality is, if you look at Real ID, this is a mechanism to federalize the identification system in this country. You might notice you have a nice little yellow star on your driver's license, or at least from most states now. My state, Florida, went full blown, thank you Jeb Bush. But 20 years ago, they started this process and it took them a long time. They still haven't quite finished. There's a lot of you in this room who are still resisting this and I'm grateful for that. But if they get their way, they fully intend to federalized every element of the identification systems. And so if you think, we'll just put some controls on the Digital ID system, don't worry, they will come back, they will use this foundation to bring it all into the national and then eventually the global system. You see some of this happening in Europe right now. Here's a little promo video for us. 

Speaker 5 [00:07:07] Major leap into the digital age with the rollout of a unified digital identity wallet by 2026. The system promises to merge IDs, licenses, and official documents into a single, free mobile app for citizens across all. 

Alex Newman [00:07:23] Again, it's free, woo. So, all the big institutions are working on this. The World Bank says over two thirds of the governments in the world either have one or are working one right now. And ultimately, they intend that every single person on this planet will have one of these. In fact, they said so in the 2030 Agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals, they call it the Master Plan for Humanity. World Economic Forum, also deeply involved. They say somehow this is gonna accelerate national economies, which they never explain how that's gonna do that. It's just a word salad, meaning nothing, that's supposed to persuade us that this is a good idea. And you might know that some American states, including some of our most conservative states, are already jumping on the bandwagon and have been for years. Mississippi. Utah. Right, many American states are already on this bandwagon. And then, oh, it's just a digital ID, just for a few small things. Nope, eventually it will be for everything. Here's the queen of the Netherlands at the World Economic Forum just a couple years ago. 

Queen of the Netherlands [00:08:19] Why? Because in order to open an account, you need to have an ID. Right. And I have to say that when I started this job, there were actually very little countries in Africa or Latin America that had one ubiquitous type of ID. And certainly, that it was digital, and certainly that was biometric. And we've really worked with all our partners to actually help that being, I mean, to grow this. The interesting part of it is that, yes, it is very necessary for financial services, but not only. It's also good for school enrolment, it's also for health, who actually got a vaccination or not. It's very good to actually get your subsidies from the government. So, this has not only effect to the financial services. It's a very important issue. 

Alex Newman [00:09:07] Yeah, your banking, your health care, your subsidies, your children's school, are you starting to see? I mean, they're telling you this openly. And yet, it's all part of something even bigger. It's not just a digital ID, right? Bill Gates is a big fan of what they call digital public infrastructure. I think if you just think of it as global digital Gulag infrastructure, it'll make much more sense, but here he is. 

Bill Gates [00:09:30] Public infrastructure. 

Alex Newman [00:09:33] A little bit of an idea on where this is going. 

Bill Gates [00:09:35] The basic structure that starts with identity and bank accounts and payments is just foundational. And as part of this visit, I'm now seeing how that foundation is being built out, built out in agriculture with profiles of farmers to understand what they need and give them advice, built out with health records so that we can help people not only with infectious diseases but the challenge that's coming in the future with the growth of the non-communicable disease. 

Alex Newman [00:10:09] So as you can see, this is not just about ID. This is about everything. It's your health records. What are you growing on your farm? How are your children doing in school? And I mentioned the United Abominations, I mean the United Nations deeply involved in this. The UN development program actually with Bill Gates launched the 50 in five campaigns. And they said 50 countries in five years are gonna go full blown with this digital public infrastructure so they can lay the groundwork so that all of us can join later. And they define digital public infrastructure as digital ID being one component, then you have digital currency, and then you the digital architecture that melds it all together. I wanna share with you a little bit about the other pieces in this puzzle so you can get a more complete picture of where it's going. 

Rick Green [00:10:55] Alright, guys, gotta interrupt Alex for just a second. We'll take a quick break we'll be right back on the WallBuilders Show 

Rick Green [00:12:04] Welcome back to The WallBuilders Show. Alex Newman, our special guest. He's speaking at the Pro Family Legislators Conference. We'll jump right back in. 

Alex Newman [00:12:11] Central bank digital currencies. You might have heard of them. Joe Biden actually signed an executive order saying his administration places the highest urgency on developing and deploying these things. And leading the charge is the Bank for International Settlements. Very few Americans are familiar with the BIS. It's based in Switzerland. Here's a guy who runs it, Agustín Carstens. 

Agustín Carstens [00:12:30] And there is a huge difference there. For example, in cash, we don't know, for example, who's using a $100 bill today. We don't who is using a 1,000-peso bill today. A key difference with the CBDC is that Central Bank will have absolute control on the rules and regulations that will determine the use of that expression of central bank liability. 

Alex Newman [00:13:02] So just to be clear, this isn't just about ending your privacy, right? Right now, you can go into a shop you can buy something with a hundred-dollar bill only you and the shopkeeper know. But notice he said central banks will have what he says absolute control over how these are used and he's not kidding. And by the way yes it has to be linked to digital ID here's the Financial Times a couple years ago they said what CBDC research and experimentation shows is that it's going to be impossible to issue these digital currencies outside of what a comprehensive national digital ID management system and they said meaning CVDCs are going to be tied to personal accounts including your personal data your credit history and other forms of relevant information maybe all your google searches your tweets and much more. And ultimately, they're going to program this currency to determine how you can use it and they're saying this publicly again World Economic Forum 

The World Economic Forum [00:13:54] Think about the benefits of digital money there are huge potential gains. It's not just about digital forms of physical currency you can have programmability you know units of central bank currency with expiry dates. You could have as I argue in my book a potentially better and some people might see it or a darker world where the government decides that units of central bank money can be used to purchase some things but not other things that it deems less desirable. Like say ammunition or drugs or pornography or something of the sort and that is very powerful inter-

Alex Newman [00:14:31] Yeah, I'll say, right? They're gonna program your money- I don't want these conservative Christians buying ammunition or tithing at a conservative church or giving to WallBuilders. I mean, come on guys, we have to keep some law and order here, right? And I mean it sounds like a bad dream, but this is the infrastructure they're working on now and they're talking about it publicly, okay? Here's one of the top leaders at the International Monetary Fund. 

Top leader at International Monetary Fund [00:14:50] The third way we think CPDC can improve financial inclusion is through what we call programmability. 

Alex Newman [00:15:00] Programmability with financial inclusion? What does that even mean, right? 

Top leader at International Monetary Fund [00:15:03] Those money can be precisely targeted for what kind of people can own and what kind of use this money can be utilize. 

Alex Newman [00:15:18] Can they be any clearer? The Federal Reserve actually put out a report last year saying we can program this money. That way, during an emergency, you can't use your free government money for things we don't want you to use. They're telling you where this is going. And ultimately, it'll be tied to your carbon footprint. Tomorrow, I'm catching a plane down to South America. I'll be going to the UN's Climate Clown Show. And this is the kind of stuff they're working on. Listen to this guy here. 

Speaker 11 [00:15:38] If we link that with AI technology and then big data and particularly Internet of Things, there are ways for us to come up with instant measurement and reporting of the carbon footprint. I hope that through this we can help people to really make different choices. 

Alex Newman [00:16:03] Yep, I want to help people make different choices. You've already had one steak this year. No, you can't buy a plane ticket to go see grandma as she passes away, sorry. You've exceeded your carbon allowance. Again, sounds like bad science fiction. They're telling you this is where this is all going. They're also building, we're not gonna listen to this guy. He's so boring and he's so slow, but they're building out now the International Unified Blockchain Ledger that's gonna bring all this together. So, they plan to tokenize every asset in the known universe, every stock, every bond, every tree, every house, every farm, every car. And if you wanna be able to exchange it or trade it with somebody that's gonna live on the International Blockchain Ledger, you gotta use your digital ID and your digital currency through a digital contract that exists forever on this ledger. Forget your local county courthouse. This is what they're building now. You can read the white papers at the Bank for International Settlements. And ultimately, the digital ID is even bigger than you can imagine. Here's Klaus Schwab, one of the lead architects of all that. He just got wheeled off stage left. You probably noticed. The founder of the World Economic Forum! Listen to what he says about the Fourth Industrial Revolution. 

Klaus Schwab  [00:17:06] It's at the end, what the Fourth Industrial Revolution will lead to is a fusion of our physical, our digital, and our biological identities. 

Alex Newman [00:17:22] Fusion of our digital and our biological and physical identities? Like, what does that even mean? They're already starting to market it. This is NBC fake news. Obviously not a reliable source, but look at what they're trying to sell you. Get your microchip. 

NBC Reporter [00:17:35] When Julius Brotberger goes to work, he doesn't need ID, and he doesn't need money. In fact, much of what he needs to get through the day is hidden right there, just below the surface, in his hand. 

Alex Newman [00:17:49] Is it his right hand or left hand? 

NBC Reporter [00:17:51] Oh, weird, yeah, it's like a grain of rice. Yeah, a grain a rice. Embedded in his hand is a microchip that serves as his keys, his ID, and his wallet. 

Alex Newman [00:18:02] There is an occasional benefit to watching the fake news. You get a sense of where they're trying to take us, right? And you're saying, well, I'll never take that. Well, once you have the digital ID, you've gone on the on-ramp to the super highway to hell and there's no getting off. There's no exits. There's not U-turns. You're done, right. You want to do it? Well, you can't go grocery shopping. Can't sign your child up for school. Can't get your subsidies. Can't your social security check. Right, you see how this works? Step by step, they're building the prison. 

Rick Green [00:18:26] All right, folks, one more break today. Stay with us. You're listening to The WallBuilders Show. 

Rick Green [00:20:35] Welcome back to the WallBuilders Show, getting back in there at the Pro Family Legislators Conference for the conclusion of Alex Newman's presentation on Digital ID. 

Alex Newman [00:20:45] Now Klaus Schwab wrote a book on the Fourth Industrial Revolution and he talks about how these technologies are going to become implantable, they're going to be part of us, including your little smartphones. He says they're gonna be implantable in our brains. He talks about it openly on TV. And now the surveillance will go under the skin, says his evil sidekick Yuval Noah Harari. 

Yuval Noah Harari [00:21:02] Maybe in a couple of decades when people look back, the thing they will remember from the COVID crisis is this is the moment when everything went digital. And this was the moment when everything became monitored, that we agreed to be surveyed all the time, not just in authoritarian machines, but even in democracies. And maybe most importantly at all, this was a moment when surveillance out as going under the skin. 

Alex Newman [00:21:34] There you go. See where it's going? Right? You're just a hackable animal, by the way. ... 

Yuval Noah Harari [00:21:38] Democracy for this new era in which humans are now hackable animals. The whole idea that humans have this soul or spirit and they have free will and nobody knows what's happening inside me. So, whatever I choose, whether in the election or whether in a supermarket, this is my free will. That's over. 

Alex Newman [00:22:02] That's over, okay, you hackable animals. You have no soul, you have no spirit, you have no free will, you will not choose your own leaders, okay? Now, he put out a book recently called Homo Deus. He believes man is evolving into gods, at least some of us. You know, those of us who aren't going to become obsolete. It's crazy talk. Here's what he thinks about Jesus Christ. 

Yuval Noah Harari [00:22:20] I mean, all this story about Jesus rising from the dead and being the Son of God, this is fake news. Wait, that's fake news, okay? The real news is that ye shall be as God. Now humans are developing even bigger powers than ever before. We are really acquiring divine powers of creation and destruction. We are already upgrading humans into gods. 

Alex Newman [00:22:46] Okay, yeah, it should sound familiar. It's the oldest lie in the book. What Satan said to Eve in Genesis chapter three, right? Ye shall be as gods. As a folks, what do we do about this? This is a crisis. Our freedom is facing an existential threat. We have got to deal with this. And so, I think as individuals, we need to stop feeding the big tech companies, all of our data, they're using it to build the prison around us. Stop letting them abuse us as legislators. You have the power to stop this abuse, to stop the stealing of our data, to start the weaponization of our data against us. And you can put controls into place and you can certainly stop investing public money into these evil corporations that are building a prison for your children and your grandchildren. We can encourage the use of cash. We can refuse contracts with businesses that reject cash. We can protect small and local businesses. My state in some ways has helped to lead the way and I'm grateful for our dear Governor Ron DeSantis. We have banned central bank digital currencies. Our governor correctly pointed out that this is about surveilling Americans. It's about controlling Americans. Why is there only one governor in the country willing to speak like this? There should be 50. A lot of states now have, and I know you'll hear from Kevin Freeman if you haven't already, a lot of States are moving now to help facilitate commerce in gold and silver. I think that's a fantastic idea. Let them build their slave system and we can have a free system. Go back to the constitution, Article I, Section 10. No state shall make anything other than gold and silver a tender and payment of debts. This great state of Texas already has a gold bullion depository. Why don't we have 50 of those across the country? And there's a lot we can do. We can ban mandatory digital ID for anything, right? Know your bank cannot require it, know the DMV cannot require, know your airports cannot require it, know your healthcare providers cannot require. We did that in Florida. When Joe Biden said you have to take a vaccine or get fired, our state passed a law that said, well, if you fire somebody for not taking the shot, you're gonna get a fine that's 10 times larger than what the feds offer. So, there's a lot of creative solutions that we can use here. We can require opt-in explicit consent before any of our data is shared with these totalitarian megalomaniacs. We can prohibit the tracking and the profiling of citizens through the digital ID data. We can limit the data retention and much more. We've got to have access to good information. We've gotta understand what we're dealing with. You can get my newsletter for free at LibertySentinel.org/subscribe. We must protect our children folks. They are grooming our children. I can talk to you for hours about this. They're grooming our Children, not just to accept this future, but to beg for it. And last but not least, I think we should all memorize Daniel chapter three. You might remember the Hebrew boys were in Babylon in captivity. Nebuchadnezzar says, hey, worship this big golden idol when the music plays. And what did they say? Oh no, we are not careful to answer you, oh Nebuchadnezzar, our God can deliver us from your fiery furnace and he will deliver us and we will not worship that golden statue. And of course, God protected them and he brought the most powerful man in the world to his senses and honored the Lord. Thank you guys and God bless you! 

Rick Green [00:25:49] Alright friends, that was Alex Newman speaking at the Pro-Family Legislators Conference. To learn more about Alex, you can go to the Foundation for American Christian Education website. That's face.net, face. Net, and I encourage you to check that out and learn more about Alex but also continue to learn about Digital ID. There's a reason that we wanted the legislators to hear this topic and be informed about it, but also our listeners to the program here as well. Very very important. Already being used in in in countries in a way that allows you to micromanage the population to control how people spend money, to drop the hammer, for instance, with the Canadian truck drivers and their digital currency and ability to even access their own money. These are all things to be significantly concerned about, and we appreciate Alex sharing with the Pro-Family Legislators and with you, our WallBuilders audience. Thanks so much for listening. You've been listening to The WallBuilders Show.
