A nationwide digital ID push is quietly reshaping the internet, turning age checks into a gateway for identity-linked online life.

The draft legislation, reviewed by AFP, sets September 2026 as the target date for enforcement.

Australia was the testing ground for citizen revolt and now the policy will be rolled out in all WEF controlled nations (Canada will surely announce in 2026 with Carney the poster boy for WEF policies) — this forces mandatory digital ID for internet access — if France and Australia can do it, why not YOUR country

The UK government’s digital ID push is escalating into outright dystopia, with ministers privately floating the idea of assigning digital identities to newborns right alongside their health records. 

This “sinister” expansion, revealed by the Daily Mail, exposes Labour’s true agenda: a lifelong tracking system masquerading as a tool to curb illegal immigration. The move is being slammed as a blatant power grab, with many warning it has nothing to do with border control and everything to do with eroding freedoms from birth.

Attendees at the meetings, sworn to secrecy, described jaws dropping when the newborn ID concept was raised. One source told the Daily Mail: “The disturbing prospect of digital IDs for newborn babies shows this has nothing to do with right-to-work checks, immigration or giving people choices. It’s a cradle-to-grave digital file being dishonestly forced on every single Briton. This is a shocking, underhand way to massively expand a controversial policy our country has always rejected.”

China isn’t perfecting cheap labour — their focus is on NO labour!

The White House has told companies they must rebuild Venezuela’s crude-pumping infrastructure if they want compensation for assets seized by Caracas.

Administration officials have told oil executives in recent weeks that if they want compensation for their rigs, pipelines and other seized property, then they must be prepared to go back into Venezuela now and invest heavily in reviving its shattered petroleum industry.

Trump said he preferred Rodriguez, 56, in power rather than the country’s opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, adding that Maduro’s VP was prepared to work with the US. ‘She, I think, was quite gracious, but she really doesn’t have a choice,’ ‘She is essentially willing to do what we think is necessary to make Venezuela great again. Very simple.’

But the Maduro loyalist, who has helped him maintain his regime for over a decade, has vented her fury at Trump’s capture of the despot, whom she called her nation’s rightful leader. Rodriguez, who also serves as minister for finance and oil, slammed Maduro’s arrest as ‘an atrocity that violates international law’ and called for his ‘immediate release’.

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act requires employers to give 60 days’ notice ahead of mass layoffs.

Though we are constantly told that Mamdani is on a steep learning curve, within hours of taking office, he signed the following executive orders:

1. “Prior Executive Orders” (1 page): Revokes all orders issued by the previous administration after Sept. 26, 2024 — including the one that got most of the media attention, walking back the previous mayor’s pledge of allegiance to Israel.
2. “Mayor’s Office Structure and Operations” (23 pages): Establishes the cabinet and specialized offices for Economic Justice and Pro Bono legal aid.
3. “Revitalizing the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants” (3 pages): Establishes an office to coordinate tenant rights and improve housing quality.
4. “Leveraging City-Owned Land to Accelerate Housing” (3 pages): Establishes a task force to identify city-owned sites for 25,000 new housing units.
5. “Improving Process to Accelerate Affordable Housing” (3 pages): Creates a task force to streamline permitting and expedite housing production.

Hidden within the executive order on the structure of the Mayor’s office is a significant though subtle shift in the hierarchy of the NYPD. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch has been quietly downgraded.

From this week, every German male will be legally required to answer questions from the army the moment he turns 18, as part of a sweeping new military service scheme approved amid mounting fears of a major conflict in Europe.

Tens of thousands of teenagers will be sent a compulsory 14-question survey by the Bundeswehr, asking not only how interested they are in joining the military, but how fit they are to fight and how quickly they could be ready for service.

Young men who refuse to complete the questionnaire – or repeatedly ignore follow-up demands from the army – face fines of up to €1,000 (£800), even though ministers insist the scheme falls short of full conscription.

IN RESPONSE TO THIS COMMENT ON HIS X ACCOUNT

POTUS: The US government will run Venezuela until such time as a proper transition can take place

THE RESPONSE

Any form of transition will be symbolic. We are moving to annex #Canada and #Greenland. Against that backdrop, adding #Mexico, #Colombia, and #Venezuela is not radical—it is logical escalation. An American Empire is taking shape in real time, and we are witnessing its birth.

These states cannot exist as truly sovereign entities without eventually being captured, coerced, or stripped by external powers. Independence without power is an illusion. Incorporated into a new American Commonwealth, however, they would not only achieve stability and prosperity, but would directly reinforce the national security architecture of the Empire itself.

Control of Mexico, Venezuela, and Colombia is not optional—it is imperative. Failure to act guarantees that China will step in, extracting oil, gold, and silver while converting these regions into economic dependencies and strategic liabilities. Ownership denies rivals access, secures resources, and hardens the Empire’s southern and hemispheric defenses.

This is not ideology. It is force projection, resource denial, and strategic consolidation. #MAGA

The geniuses who are planning New York’s energy future think that they can make intermittent wind and solar generators work to power the electrical grid by the simple device of providing some battery storage. How much battery storage will that take? It’s a simple arithmetic calculation, but none of our supposed experts have taken the trouble to crunch the numbers.

In a post back in March 2024, I reported on the progress of our two “climate leader” states with developing grid-scale battery storage. It turned out that the big problem was that these facilities were subject to large and dangerous fires on a regular basis. In some cases the same facility would catch fire multiple times.

The planned capacity of the battery storage facility in Ravenswood is 316 MW/2528 MWh — some 25 or more times the size of the facility in Warwick that has now caught fire at least twice.

Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada stands by the Venezuelan people’s “right to decide and build their own future in a peaceful and democratic society” after U.S. President Donald Trump announced American forces captured Venezuela’s president early Saturday morning.

“Canada has not recognised the illegitimate regime of [Nicolás] Maduro since it stole the 2018 election,” Carney said on social media Saturday evening. “The Canadian government therefore welcomes the opportunity for freedom, democracy, peace, and prosperity for the Venezuelan people.

A deduction of up to $10,000 is available for vehicles that undergo final assembly in the United States.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of the Treasury issued guidance on Wednesday regarding the deduction for car loan interest payments made by taxpayers. The provision allows owners who bought vehicles with final assembly in the United States to deduct up to $10,000 in car loan interest from their taxable income for 2025 through 2028.

“If two taxpayers have a Federal income tax return filing status of married filing separately, the $10,000 limitation would apply separately to each taxpayer’s return.” If the modified adjusted gross income of a taxpayer for a year exceeds $100,000, the deduction limit decreases by $200 for every $1,000 in extra income. For married taxpayers filing a joint return, the cuts in deductions start once income exceeds $200,000.

Gilligan had his three hour tour. Trump has his Three Hour War

WOW….SOME NEW INFO HERE

The arrest comes on the 36th anniversary of the surrender of Panamanian dictator Manuel Antonio Noriega to the USA after two weeks of war. He faced similar federal charges and after his conviction received a 40 year sentence. In 2017, he was released to home confinement ahead of brain surgery but died at 83 from complications from that surgery.

23 American troops died in the Two Week War in Panama. No Americans died in this one.

The American media calls Maduro president, but more than 100 countries do not recognize his government as legitimate including Canada, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Paraguay and of course, the USA. Make no mistake, this was not Trump against the world. This was Trump doing the world a big favor.

While Machado is popular and world-renowned, Venezuelans elected Edmundo González president in 2024 after Maduro kicked Machado off the ballot. She 100% backs having González assume the presidency. He exiled himself to Spain but plans to return next Saturday to take the oath as president.

In the above article Don Surber says Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has fled to Russia

This afternoon she defiantly demanded US return the Maduros and that Venezuela will not be occupied !

I asked AI

The New York Post reported, “Venezuela’s Vice President Delcy Rodriguez has also fled to Russia. Os this true ?

Search
Yes, it is reported that Delcy Rodríguez, Venezuela’s Vice President, has fled to Russia following the capture of President Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces. This information was primarily reported by the Guardian and confirmed by other news outlets such as the New York Post and BBC.

Key Details:
Capture of Maduro: Nicolás Maduro was captured on January 3, 2026, during a U.S. military operation. This has resulted in significant political upheaval in Venezuela.
Rodríguez’s Flight: Following Maduro’s capture, Rodríguez reportedly fled to Russia, which has been implied in multiple sources.

Well she was President for a couple of minutes there ….LOL

“I’m gonna go hug my family. I’m happy right now.”
