Digital Identification is a tough one, because it is predicated on the truism that "My enemy' s enemy is my friend", that is, we don't want unknown migrants arriving and circulating in society, and digital ID is portrayed as the enemy of undocumented individuals.

Hence, digital ID must be the friend of anyone who is opposed to mass anonymous migration.

It's quite a compelling argument, and needs an equally compelling rebuttal.

Musk also just happened to coincidentally offer to supply his Starlink (or whatever it's called) technology to replace Verizon's contract for updating the US air traffic control system. Or part of it. It's not clear from the articles I've read what exactly Verizon is sucking at and why they're about to be fired. Depending on the source it's either just computer terminals "for ATC communication" or all the planes are gonna crash. Either way, I don't trust Musk as far as I can throw him. It's unbelievable the way conservatives are barking like trained seals for that guy, just because they think he's *their* guy. If it were a Democrat in the White House and that Soros fembot doing the same things Musk is, conservatives wouldn't be so sanguine about it. It's pathetic and embarrassing that they're so susceptible to the messiah syndrome. As for the Stargate data harvesting, well, it'll just be taking over from the NSA, which already has massive centers for that. Americans are already thoroughly and intrusively spied on.

As for getting AI to make "cancer vaccines," I'm sure they'll try, but it's bullshit. AI is all hat and no cattle. It can make interesting pictures of hot guys with their shirts off, but that's all it's good for. I really urge anyone worried about AI to read Ed Zitron on the subject. His article "The Subprime AI Crisis" doesn't directly say or even imply that tech's pushing AI into "vaccines" because it's worthless at everything else (and will be fatal at medicine), but as you read about the desperation of Silicon Valley to show *something* for the hundreds of billions of dollars AI is costing them, it becomes pretty clear that trying to wed pharma and AI is a Hail Mary play. That's not to say that the kakistocracy isn't dangerous and that it won't try using even fake technology to kill us all. They used PCR and viruses already, and there's not much faker than that except AI.
