Ugly to watch. These people trusted him. Should have known he was Deep State when he attacked a great patriot like Tom Massie.

Trump Throws Base Under the Bus with Real ID China-Style, National Face Recognition Database
Real ID would have done nothing to stop the 9/11 hijackers
Unremarked by media, national identification documents have been declared "abhorrent" by the US Supreme Court. In Aptheker v. Secretary of State, (1964) the U.S. Supreme Court said:
Former congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul writes:
Why is the Trump administration telling a blatant lie?
The Trump administration insists that Real ID is not a national database of Americans. But the Papers Please Identity Project writes in "How the REAL-ID Act is creating a national ID database":
If different databases are linked together, and work seamlessly in answering queries and moving data, it is a "distributed" central database. Any database expert knows this. Different parts may live in different servers, but it works as one.
Not only is Real ID exactly a national central database, in which each person is assigned a unique number for the computer, the same as in communist China. The 2005 law, that previous administrations have had the good sense to let languish and not enforce, grants the Secretary of DHS the unilateral authority to add on to the requirements - the "standards" - that make a Real ID valid.
This means "vaccination" status or a "social behavior" score might be included, terminology that might be new to Americans, but not to ordinary Chinese, who know it very well.
Section 205 of the Real ID Act:
China "social credit score" system based on national ID ranks and punishes citizens without due process
That means if a "dictator" like, for example Trump if these are your political leanings, finds, through your facial recognition scan, that you were at an anti-Israel protest, or an anti-DOGE protest, you could get a black mark added to the proper field in your Real ID profile.
That could mean no air travel for you, or no gas this month, or no gun purchases. The law leaves room for completely arbitrary behavior by the government. The Real ID Act of 2005 does not limit what the government can require for you to have a valid ID, or what it can do to you if you don't.
Come to think of it, that is exactly what they do in China. There is very little protesting the government in China. Or protesting that the tiniest fraction of the population lives like royalty, while everyone else starves on dog meat.
They also get carted off to quarantine camps by the thousands if the government says there was a new case of Covid on the block. Two of digital ID's biggest cheerleaders, Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab, say to this day that China is a splendid example of how to deal with "health emergencies" like Covid.

National Real ID Treats Only Americans as Suspects, not Foreign Tourists or International Students
But the real kicker about Real ID, and there are many, is that it can be stone-cold proven that it has nothing to do with safety. DHS has confirmed that non-Americans, such a 5 million international tourists a year and about 1 million international students, will not need it. They will be able to travel around free as jaybirds with only their paper passports, and not worry that every movement is now being tracked and stored in a monster database somewhere for the use of future tyrants.
Business Standard reports:
Demolishing the idea that Real ID is about safety is the fact that it would do not one iota to stop the 9/11 hijackers from boarding their planes today, which they did with ordinary passports, and which Real ID still allows. This is nothing against foreign nationals. It simply proves that any argument that national Real ID is about security has a hole in it you could drive a Mack truck through.
This is not about security. This is about you.
In 2022, thousands of Canadian truckers got the attention of the world by coming out in force against Justin Trudeau's Covid "vaccine" mandates, and stopped the spread of vaccine passports around the world in its tracks. It was one of the most awesome displays of People Power witnessed in modern times, maybe ever..
With Real ID, soon linked to facial recognition and even DNA "profiles," as well as someday becoming a single point for all financial transactions, the elites are ensuring that this can never happen again.
Facial Recognition is Already Built in to the National Real ID Infrastructure
It is inevitable that national Real ID will eventually include high-resolution, facial recognition scans, so detailed that you can be identified on the street in real time by street cameras. The software infrastructure for this has already built into the national Real ID standards.
The Papers Please Identity Project writes:
National Real ID is Unconstitutional
One key argument against Real ID is that it is unconstitutional, since the Constitution enumerates the limited powers of the federal government and reserves all other powers to the states (Tenth Amendment.) The Constitution was not written to exalt government. It was written as a straitjacket on it.
Nowhere in the Constitution is there any enumerated power which would cover a national ID database, and indeed it is impossible to imagine that the Founders would have tolerated such a thing, as the Revolution was sparked in part by random searches of Colonials' homes by the British. At no time did any of the Founders say: "It's just a search."
In October 2024 The Citizens Council for Health Freedom, a non-profit organization, wrote during the public comment period for a proposed rule by the DHS regarding Real ID:
Many states have had long-running battles against the Real ID law. Maine State Representative Gay Grant writes in The Maine Wire:
In China only national ID-based facial recognition is allowed if you want to buy something
In January of this year Dr. Mike Yeadon, a former Chief Science Officer for Pfizer who came out strongly against the Covid "vaccine," penned a powerful essay on national digital ID, "The Hill to Die On."

Our children are condemned to the ultimate unbreakable dystopian nightmare unless we all put our foot down on this one.
No compromise!
Prison?
Essentially-eternal prison in 15 minute concentration camps, for all we love is worse.
Compulsory jabs to be allowed to eat, no travel, Net Zero carnage.
Every purchase ‘approved’ from the BIS at point of purchase
- or not.
Inevitable?
Ben Rubin’s summing up of 2024 on UK Column finished with a few quotes from an unimpressive gentleman who told us, in relation to a digital ID, that “The debate has been won. It’s just about how & when we implement it in U.K.”
I tell you this, with absolute conviction.
The day you sign up for a new format, global, editable, biometric digital ID, that’s the day that any possibility of a continuing, free life, free from perpetual interference and increasing control over every aspect of your existence, ends.
Furthermore, knowing what we now know, and not requiring anyone to be a conspiraloon, merely open minded to what unpleasant people through history always do, you will recognise that you won’t be gaining a new, shiny digital ID on an app. You will disappear, replaced by an avatar that is solely that digital ID.
As far as the state and any corporation and institution is concerned, any interaction with you will be conducted through that digital ID. Not with you, a natural person. Whatever that digital ID says about you is reality.
Even if it’s clearly not.
This isn’t my primary concern, though.
I’m not even arguing that there won’t be many ways in which, for most purposes, it’ll be genuinely useful.
That’ll be how they sell it.
Inside the Trojan Horse
Here’s what I’m completely certain it’s going to be used to accomplish.
1. At a time of their choosing, the Useless Eliters will trigger an event that ends sovereign currencies and physical cash. Money will become solely digital but it won’t be like you currently know it. Instead, it’ll be Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).
2. When you try buy anything, you’ll be required to show your digital ID. The merchant will be unable to process the payment without this. Your digital ID is the gateway to absolutely every transaction.
Obviously, there must be ways to ensure that your digital ID is valid in some way. Before the question of whether you have the requisite credits in your account. And whether all the conditions necessary to allow the transaction are met.
Among those conditions will be your location.
If you’re outside your 15 minute community boundary, the transaction will fail. If you’ve already had your 50g of meat this month, the transaction will fail. If you’ve posted something a corporation doesn’t like online, it’s possible the transaction will fail (depending on what it is that you’re trying to buy).
3. First, about credit in your CBDC account. Remember there are now no alternative means of payment. If there’s a restriction on your account, you will be unable to transact. If there’s anything about you that the state or its delegated authorities don’t like about you, there will be laws that permits the state or its delegated authorities to not permit a transaction. CBDCs can be removed or caused to expire. You will have no recourse. Whatever might seem OK today could, in a heartbeat, not be OK. You will have no recourse.
You might trust the government of the day. That’s not enough.
You’re trusting every future government, too. Given what past governments have done (been told to do), and still do (are told to do) how confident are you that this is a wise position?
If they take any steps you don’t like, you have no recourse. A crucial feature of the design of these accounts that I’ve seen proposed is an upper limit.
You will not be permitted to save.
I expect at some point, you’ll be wholly dependent upon the state crediting your CBDC account with Universal Basic Income, upon which you might, if you’re careful and compliant, just make it to the end of the month.
You won’t need much money, though, because you won’t be going anywhere. See UN2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
4. Here’s the “killer flaw”. Unfortunately it’s not even black humour. I’m sure they actually intend to do this.
Note that your digital ID, the QR code that you’ll have become, isn’t itself your identity. You cannot look closely at it and learn what it says about you. Because it’s essentially a web address. It’s within the files & details within that address, that website, that the devil lies. One of the critical aspects of digital ID that’s different in kind from any other means of identifying yourself that you’ve ever had is that it’s editable in real time.
This isn’t true of your passport, your driving licence, your council tax bill plus your credit card, all the simple, traditional means of identifying yourself that you’ve used successfully for years.
It’s also biometric & will use your face as the key. Avoiding Neurolink will not cut it.
5. One of the editable fields in your digital ID is your vaccination status.
I’ve seen the outline of the EU vaccination passport system, which the EU Commission started in 2018. It’s explicitly stated that it’s anticipated that everyone will be vaccinated, regularly & for life, with mRNA based injections & recorded electronically only.
It’s entirely fraudulent, the claims they make that this will improve health and safety as you move about.
On the contrary, if you’re repeatedly injected with anything based on that platform, your health will decay and eventually you’ll be killed.
6. You might argue that you’re not going to accede to the requirement to be injected at all, let alone regularly. I’m sorry to have to point out to you that if “Vaccination status on most recent WHO recommended injection: No” is what your digital ID says about you, then your digital ID is invalid.
You won’t be able to buy anything.
Note that you will also use your digital ID to cross any regulated threshold, such as a border, a mall, a shop or potentially even your home or car (if you have one). If you decline the injections, you will lose access to your own life.
In the most extreme case, you’ll starve to death. If on the other hand you comply with the injections, you will sicken & die.
Do not sign up for digital ID.
You cannot check out later. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say it’s the last truly voluntary, important decision you’ll ever make. Thereafter, you’re a passenger.
You’ll be forced by its strictures to do whatever those setting it’s rules decide. It will also not in any way be a rallying point. Because your digital ID is insanely personal. A person you speak to about the trouble you’re in, because you’ve not taken the most recent jab may not have that difficulty.
I expect some people will have their vaccine field set permanently to valid. They won’t need to be injected.
The ultimate divide & rule could be that some people will have much higher upper limits to their CBDC account.
Some will not have 15 minute community limits.
Some will not have limits on what they can purchase. Some will permit the crossing of all thresholds.
This is the ultimate tool of slavery.
For the love of God, do not sign up for digital ID.
Best wishes

Trump Throws Base Under the Bus with Real ID China-Style, National Face Recognition Database
Real ID would have done nothing to stop the 9/11 hijackers
Unremarked by media, national identification documents have been declared "abhorrent" by the US Supreme Court. In Aptheker v. Secretary of State, (1964) the U.S. Supreme Court said:
Yet this April, the Trump administration declared that it would begin enforcing the national Real ID for domestic flights, and access to federal buildings.“Free movement by the citizen is of course as dangerous to a tyrant as free expression of ideas or the right of assembly and it is therefore controlled in most countries in the interests of security. … That is why the ticketing of people and the use of identification papers are routine matters under totalitarian regimes, yet abhorrent in the United States.”
Former congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul writes:
Below Twitter post, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem"Those who hoped the second Trump Administration would reject big spending, war, and restrictions on liberty continue to be disappointed. A new disappointment came when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced her department would in May begin enforcing the REAL ID law."

Why is the Trump administration telling a blatant lie?
The Trump administration insists that Real ID is not a national database of Americans. But the Papers Please Identity Project writes in "How the REAL-ID Act is creating a national ID database":
Even staid Wikipedia acknowledges:"One of the big lies being told by supporters of the REAL-ID Act of 2005 is that, as the DHS says on its official “Rumor Control” page, “Fact: REAL ID does not build a national database nor does it grant the Federal Government or another state access to a state’s driver’s license data.”
"The Real ID Act of 2005 (stylized as REAL ID Act of 2005) is an Act of Congress that establishes requirements that driver licenses and identification cards issued by U.S. states and territories must satisfy to be accepted for accessing federal government facilities..The requirements include... electronic sharing of databases between states."
If different databases are linked together, and work seamlessly in answering queries and moving data, it is a "distributed" central database. Any database expert knows this. Different parts may live in different servers, but it works as one.
Not only is Real ID exactly a national central database, in which each person is assigned a unique number for the computer, the same as in communist China. The 2005 law, that previous administrations have had the good sense to let languish and not enforce, grants the Secretary of DHS the unilateral authority to add on to the requirements - the "standards" - that make a Real ID valid.
This means "vaccination" status or a "social behavior" score might be included, terminology that might be new to Americans, but not to ordinary Chinese, who know it very well.
Section 205 of the Real ID Act:
"Gives the Secretary all authority to issue regulations, set standards, and issue grants under this title."
China "social credit score" system based on national ID ranks and punishes citizens without due process
That means if a "dictator" like, for example Trump if these are your political leanings, finds, through your facial recognition scan, that you were at an anti-Israel protest, or an anti-DOGE protest, you could get a black mark added to the proper field in your Real ID profile.

Business Standard reports:
"Can international students and tourists travel without a Real ID?
Yes. International students and tourists travelling within the US can continue to use their foreign passports as valid identification for domestic flights and security procedures."
Demolishing the idea that Real ID is about safety is the fact that it would do not one iota to stop the 9/11 hijackers from boarding their planes today, which they did with ordinary passports, and which Real ID still allows. This is nothing against foreign nationals. It simply proves that any argument that national Real ID is about security has a hole in it you could drive a Mack truck through.

The Papers Please Identity Project writes:
“Digital Image Access” (DIA) component of [Real ID] software suite... is already designed to be compatible with automated facial recognition software. The logical next step, of course, would be to add some sort of “hash” or “template” representing each photo to the corresponding SPEXS pointer record, to make it easier to carry out national photo matching and search.
DIA has been in operation since 2005, and 23 states are already making their license and ID photo databases nationally available through this network:"
National Real ID is Unconstitutional
One key argument against Real ID is that it is unconstitutional, since the Constitution enumerates the limited powers of the federal government and reserves all other powers to the states (Tenth Amendment.) The Constitution was not written to exalt government. It was written as a straitjacket on it.
Nowhere in the Constitution is there any enumerated power which would cover a national ID database, and indeed it is impossible to imagine that the Founders would have tolerated such a thing, as the Revolution was sparked in part by random searches of Colonials' homes by the British. At no time did any of the Founders say: "It's just a search."
In October 2024 The Citizens Council for Health Freedom, a non-profit organization, wrote during the public comment period for a proposed rule by the DHS regarding Real ID:
"The Constitution of the United States limits federal government reach and power. A National ID is not permitted under the Constitution, yet DHS has awarded $263 million in grant funds to states, which the proposed rule states “yielded significant progress towards full REAL ID implementation.” Neither Congress nor federal agencies have the legal authority to impose or fund the REAL ID program. Nor are they authorized to use enforcement to secure citizen submission to the REAL ID card, system, law, or regulations at any level. As legislators from Pennsylvania wrote in a January 24, 2017 letter to President Trump: “By ‘federalizing’ driver licensing the REAL ID Act usurps this power which has been reserved to the states.” The federal overreach in this proposal is also a usurpation – violation – of individual rights, most obviously under the Fourth Amendment and the Tenth Amendment."
Many states have had long-running battles against the Real ID law. Maine State Representative Gay Grant writes in The Maine Wire:
The well-respected technology watchdog Electronic Frontiers Foundation writes about Real ID:"For more than a decade, Maine’s political leaders of both major parties have been united in their opposition to the REAL ID law, and have refused to sacrifice our citizens’ right to privacy from the overreaching federal government. Past legislatures have resisted turning our state’s driver’s licenses into virtual national identity cards. REAL ID was a bad law when Congress passed it in 2005 (attached to a must-fund Iraq war funding bill), and it is still a bad law."
WTOP News reports that one of the places which may require the Real ID for entry is Arlington National Cemetery. Other "federal properties which may soon be included are all of Congress, the Smithsonian, and US National Parks."The federal government is trying to force states to turn your drivers license into a national ID. Unless you tell your state legislator to push back the Real ID Act will create grave dangers to privacy and impose massive financial burdens without improving national security in the least.
Signed into law in May 2005 without meaningful debate the Real ID Act states that drivers licenses will only be accepted for "federal purposes"—like accessing planes trains national parks and court houses—if they conform to certain uniform standards. The law also requires a vast national database linking all of the ID records together."
