## Summary

Real ID is being forced on US citizens, according to claims that the Trump administration requires it for domestic flights, with regular driver's licenses no longer accepted. Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, warns it may be used to "control" Americans and says its power will be realized "when everyone complies." Journalist Derrick Broze argues digital IDs are a first step toward an "Everything app" like China's WeChat, while Whitney Webb links them to Peter Thiel's AI biometric surveillance contracts. The American Civil Liberties Union says the law would facilitate tracking of individuals' data and supports efforts to repeal it.

Big New Threat to Privacy

Warning:

Real ID is being forced upon US citizens

Flights

The Trump administration is forcing US citizens to get “Real ID” to fly domestically. A regular driver’s license will no longer be accepted. [3]

Thomas Massie

Representative Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, warned that the REAL ID may be implemented in an attempt to “control” Americans, quote: “Real ID isn’t a database. It’s proof that your physical person matches an entry in the digital database. Its power & purpose will be realized when everyone complies, but not before.” [1]

Derrick Broze

As Journalist Derrick Broze warns, this is only the beginning, with establishing these types of digital IDs. Broze thinks the end-game is a digital ID to enter all aspects of our lives, like an “Everything app” similar to WeChat in China. Derrick Broze further stresses that eventually they will push for a digital ID to enter the internet. [4]

Whitney Webb

Journalist Whitney Webb of the Unlimited Hangout podcast stresses that Peter Thiel, who funded Donald Trump’s campaign, is getting huge lucrative contracts to do AI bio-metric surveillance. And digital IDs are a critical piece of this. [5]

ACLU

Even many on the left are also protesting. The American Civil Liberties Union has warned the law “would facilitate the tracking of data on individuals and bring government into the very center of every citizen’s life.” the organization has supported efforts to repeal the law, calling it a “bureaucratic nightmares for individuals.” [2]

My Opinion

My personal opinion is that the world is what we make it. So resist to the best of your ability. If you can use a Passport instead of Real ID, for even domestic air travel, then do so. There is no “line in the sand”, but a fight each step of the way. For freedom is in our minds, and not on government paper.
