In this episode, Tom dives deep into the growing threat of digital IDs, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and the rise of AI surveillance—warning that these technologies could give governments unprecedented control over our daily lives. Tom draws vivid parallels between historical abuses of power and current trends, referencing moments like Canada’s freezing of bank accounts in 2022, the expansion of surveillance after 9/11, and the COVID-era clampdowns on personal freedoms around the world.
Through compelling stories and hard-hitting data, Tom explores how governments often use crises to grab more power, and how digital systems could turn everyday rights—like spending money or traveling—into privileges subject to approval. He breaks down what digital IDs really are, why governments are pushing so hard for them, and the dangers of programmable money. But this episode isn’t just a warning—it’s a call to action. Tom lays out practical steps listeners can take to safeguard privacy, defend individual freedom, and resist the creeping tide of digital control.
If you care about the future of liberty and want to know how to stand up for it in the digital age, this episode is one you won’t want to miss.
