Non-profit publication NOTUS reported in an exclusive post that they saw a draft of an executive order that ‘pushes federal and state governments to speed adoption of smartphone-based mobile driver’s license and ID options more widely, stating: “It is the policy of the executive branch to strongly encourage the use of digital identity documents.”’ This digital ID framework would allow documents to be electronically submitted, and in tandem with biometric scans such as facial recognition and palmprints, the IDs would be used to cut down on fraudulent activity and identity theft.
The program ‘would also mandate federal agencies adopt a single government-run identity system, Login.gov, as a gateway to federal websites and offer that system to state and local governments for integration.’
13 states actively allow mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs), but this executive order, if submitted, would then federalize these initiatives and then some.
The Biden administration has purportedly been working on something for some time now, but has delayed moving forward with anything as of yet, NextGov reported in March. Biden hinted at it during his 2022 State of the Union Address in a bid to reduce fraud. Clare Martorana, the federal chief information officer, told Nextgov/FCW in March, “We continue to work in this area very rigorously across government. This is top of mind for all of us. We want to make sure that we accelerate people’s use of digital [to access government], but safely, securely.”

Apparently the 2022 executive order has already been written-up, but the administration was not sure when to roll it out. NOTUS said: ‘One person obtained what they said was the final text of the order from a federal agency this week and provided it to NOTUS. A second person confirmed that many of the provisions matched a summary that had circulated among stakeholders within recent months and that the draft provided to NOTUS incorporated some changes sought by agencies and industry.’
A White House spokesperson said: “Nothing is final until it’s signed by the president.”
According to the draft seen by NOTUS, the order would grant funds to states to help them build those systems and guarantee they are compliant with federal systems.
The mock order also boosts security measures to properly verify the age of someone when accessing certain content, both in the public and private sector. This would allow websites and other restricted content to no longer have to query the age of the user, whereas verifying the unique digital ID of the person would eliminate that.
The executive order would also force government agencies to accept digital IDs when building their websites for the purposes of filing for unemployment or Social Security benefits, and federally-run Login.gov.
However, the draft also instructs government agencies to provide simple alternatives for those who wish not to submit to automated facial recognition scans. NOTUS said: ‘In plans to roll out, Login.gov allows people to have their physical IDs checked at a post office in lieu of the facial scan, while ID.me has a live video call option and in person verification at 650 retail locations. It also bans the sale of biometric data like face scans by government and contractors and prevents governments from using that kind of data for anything other than identity verification.’
In the days following NOTUS’ article, the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST) subsidiary division, the National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence (NCCoE), partnered with 15 large financial and state institutions, including some tech firms, to research and develop a method of fusing mDLs with financial services.
The groups include:
- American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA)
- California Department of Motor Vehicles
- TBD (Block, Inc.)
- Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology Directorate
- Idemia
- iLabs
- JP Morgan Chase
- Maryland Department of Transportation
- MATTR Limited
- Microsoft Corporation
- New York State Department of Motor Vehicle
- OpenID Foundation
- SpruceID
- US Bank
- Wells Fargo
NIST said in a press release: ‘Collaborators will work with the NCCoE to accelerate the adoption of digital identity standards and best practices by producing reference architectures, representative workflows, and implementation guides to address real-world cybersecurity, privacy, and usability challenges faced by adoption of mDL in the financial sector.’
According to a listing published in the Federal Register that asked for participants to “submit capabilities that aligned with desired solution characteristics for the project,” NIST provided some additional details into the project, which include:
Digital identities are supplementing and supplanting traditional physical identity cards. Customers, consumers of services, law enforcement, vendors, suppliers, businesses, and health care entities may require a method of verifying a person via a mobile device. If these digital identities on mobile devices are to meet the demands of varying use cases, there must be technological interoperability, security, and cross-domain trust. The nascent nature of this technology leaves many challenges to be addressed, including but not limited to:
- Lack of guidance and governance for identities on devices.
- Limited capability to evaluate and validate compliant, standards-based deployments.
- Limited understanding of the privacy and usability considerations.
The goal of this project is to define and facilitate a reference architecture(s) for digital identities that protects privacy, is implemented in a secure way, enables equity, is widely adoptable, interoperable, and easy to use. The concepts of cybersecurity, privacy, and adoptability are critically important to this overall effort and will be interweaved into the work of this project from the beginning. The NCCoE intends to help accelerate the adoption of the standards, investigate what works and what does not based upon current efforts being performed by various entities, and provide a forum/environment to discuss and resolve challenges in implementing ISO/IEC 18013-5 (attended) and ISO/IEC 18013-7 (over-the-internet) standards.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The Last American Vagabond, who are critics of the two-party uniparty we have, just as I am, noted that this digital ID push is just a continuation of policies instituted by the Trump administration. Trump’s intentions for a digital tracking system were touted in 2016 during his first campaign.
The LAV reported:
In November 2020, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) proposed a new rule that would dramatically expand the use of facial recognition surveillance at the border. The rule was opposed by several branches of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future, and other rights organizations.
The CBP posted a notice announcing their intention to collect the faceprint of nearly every single non-U.S. citizen who enters or exits the United States. The rule also applies to children. This faceprint will then be stored on a government database for up to 75 years. This data could then be used by the Department of Homeland Security, foreign governments, and federal, state, and local law enforcement to identify individuals for a variety of purposes.
The U.S. Congress has never authorized the government to implement a massive data collection program for faceprints. Additionally, non-U.S. citizens entering the country are already subjected to fingerprint collection.
This 2020 effort was a continuation of policies set forth by the CBP under the Trump administration. In 2017, the CBP announced plans to scan the faces of all flyers exiting the United States.
The only publicly available information on the program came from a privacy impact statement the Department of Homeland Security issued on the program, and a briefing CBP Deputy Executive Assistant Commissioner John Wagner gave to privacy advocates in Washington this week. The CBP envisions a system where airports install cameras at boarding gates to take pictures of all passengers leaving and entering the country. The pictures will have facial recognition software applied to them.
Biden himself continued on Trump’s surveillance state path as part of his own immigration plan.
On top of this, Trump has said that former United Nations Ambassador and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley will be a part of his administration in some capacity. He said earlier this year: “Well, I think she’s going to be on our team because we have a lot of the same ideas, the same thoughts. I appreciated what she said. You know, we had a nasty campaign, it was pretty nasty, but she’s a very capable person and I’m sure she’s going to be on our team in some form absolutely.”
I mention this because Haley was campaigning on a digital ID system for the explicit goal of stopping “misinformation” and “antisemitism.”
Whether it’s Trump or Harris, you are getting a digital ID.
Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
The digital ID is needed to facilitate CBDCs and tokenization, something I have repeated over and over; and is what economics Professor Richard Werner, the man who introduced the economic philosophy of “Quantitative Easing” (QE1 and QE2), said is the objective of digital IDs.
There is an argument to be made, and that is the entire Covid scam may have been run in order just to prepare things for the CBDCs and the real goal, or the big prize to them, [are] the CBDCs.
There is one step before then: they need digital IDs.
Werner explained, referencing the vaccine passports that did not make sense, he said, and how that framework is now being used as the basis for the new digital IDs and global health passports; for which they and the CBDCs will be interlinked, he said.
I have a number of articles on Digital IDs, their rapid rollout and what they mean for us, and the Orwellian used in support of them. Give them a read:
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Not. Good.
They had to wait until after the SSN “hack” in order to have better standing to push a “more secure” from of ID. The offers of peace and safety are only going to ramp up in the coming days (to keep the community well and the children safe), and we will be finding both in short supply.
I have a question. We know this is part of the (Table Setter) for the Mark Of The Beast. It seems we will be forced into this Digital ID system in order to use it receive certain benefits etc… I plan on receiving SS Benefits starting May 2025. If is at that time required to have a Digital ID: A part of me feels that if I accept that ID in order to receive my SS Benefits, am I then an “Enabler” of moving the Evil along?? We are supposed to FIGHT these Evil systems as they come about… until we are caught up to Heaven before the TOJT / Anti Christ arrives. Would anyone have a thought on this? Jacob? Thanks.
Great question. I do plan to discuss more of this in a sermon/report I have been holding onto for a while now. For now, I will just say that, if I am being 100% honest, I don’t know just how much we’ll be able to resist it. My immediate answer is to say, ‘yes, fight it like the plague.’ However, the powers at be do not need our permission. Just like with social security when it was first rolled out in the 30s, people were assigned numbers by default without consent, and it was fought against but people ultimately were forced into anyways. Currently, ‘they’ have everything on file already and do not need us to voluntarily submit to it. Some countries that are rolling them out now have been lenient and lax about voluntarily joining, but when do they become mandatory to do a lot of things? I honestly don’t know. But like I said, I will talk about this in future reports.
It is scary to agree to this, but like you say, Jacob, they just roll us right into these things and don’t ask us for our permission cause if we don’t comply, they will withhold our income or driver’s licenses or something that’s vital to our lifestyle. I pray we are out of here before we have to choose, but we don’t know for sure that we will.
I do not agree. This is not something that we will be rolled into, we will have to choose to enroll into this beast system at first and then it will go from our phones right into our bodies, right into IOB with AI at the helm. Where do you draw the line? Bill Gates already said that if we do not choose to do these satanic systems they are putting in place that we will be left out of society. Do we choose GOD or mammon? Remember the Mark of the Beast is baby steps until it’s final destination is in your Forehead or your Right Hand. Why is no one asking GOD? I remember hearing a Pastor of Calvary Chapel saying he asked God about taking the Vaccine and he said God did not answer or say anything and so he assumed it was ok and took it. I was shocked because I know my Savior Jesus Christ and during that whole mess a few years ago I learned about the evil of vaccines and I repented of taking past ones and I specifically heard GOD say “DON’t do it again”, to me this sounded like SIN no more! GOD wants us to solely to rely upon him for our needs in these last days, why is no one listening…..
Oh but wait this can not happen until we all fly away…..NOT! WAKE UP! The Mark is being set up in stages until that evil one (the Beast) arises and everything is in place for him to make the worship demand as he is the savior of this messed up world and the switch (AI) (IOB) will be turned on to connect everyone to him. AI is his silver cord, because satan copies everything GOD does. What is wrong with all of you, WAKE UP, WAKE UP! My KJB does not have any hidden rapture, IT IS SHOUTED FROM HEAVEN WITH THE VOICE OF AN ARCHANGEL, It should scare you that GOD has allowed your ears to be tickled, WAKE UP and really read the scriptures! Do not even dip your toe in this beast technology. GOD WILL PROVIDE!
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”
“In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” (Really look at what happens with the last trumpet)
IT IS PLAIN AS DAY! Prepare your hearts and minds to suffer for Jesus Christ!
I hope and pray this opens up the ears of at least one person!
I will not respond to any HATE, so don’t waste your time for nought! Instead of asking believers like me to prove it, you prove it and in not some secret hidden meaning or twisting of scripture way. GODS WORD IS NOT OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION!
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.”
Proverbs 21:24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
So you come here making railing accusations, but then are unwilling to even hear the other side’s explanation? You’re not convincing anyone with your arrogance. It’s obvious you’re the scared one here.
Marie is spot on, “arrogance” didn’t come across to me, pointedness yes. With that said, yup the “mark of the beast,” will be a choice. Revelation 13:11-18, these scriptures talk about the false prophet and his role in the end times, the scriptures tell us what things he will do, his relationship to the anti-Christ (which proves he isn’t the anti-Christ), and the things he will institute.
Revelation 13:16-18, reveals that he will “cause” or “causeth” all to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead, it doesn’t say we will be “force” but rather he will “cause”. Verse 17 goes on to say that the way he will enforce this statute is to provide that no one will be able to buy or sell unless they take the mark of the beast. He will use coercion, but force is not there in these passages of scripture.
For the Christian who is fully dependent on God and separated from their dependency of this world it is the ultimate in standing with Jesus as our “source” for life and not the world system. Verse 18 goes on to further define the mark of the beast, this in itself takes considerable “splaining.”
Revelation 14:9-13 – Verses 9 and 10 tell us from declaration of an Angel of God that if anyone takes the mark of the beast that they will suffer the wrath of God mixed in full strength. Notice the “wrath of God” is not the “great tribulation” but is clearly defined in verses 10 and 11 as the “eternal fire and brimstone” meaning eternal damnation in hell. These verses make it clear that if you take the mark of the beast OR worship the beast or his image you be-toast, there be no redemption for the one who does this.
It is important also to note that taking the mark of the beast and worshipping the beast and his image are almost always in the same section of scripture as the two will be required synonymously by those who want to be a part of the new World System which is the Government of the beast or anti-Christ.
Two things are very important here. First, in verse 9 it says “IF” anyone worships the beast or his image and receives a mark on his forehead or his hand. The word “IF” indicates choice as well.
Secondly, in verse 12 it says that the perseverance of the Saints is to keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus, which means just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego who defied King Nebuchadnezzar’s command to bow to his image, we will keep the commandments of God even though punishment may be a result as an edict from the rulers. This so very important, as many of us no matter how Christian have a lot of faith in this world to save us, which keeps us from walking in full faith in Jesus…verse 12 is talking about the Saints who keep the commandments of God AND their Faith in Jesus! However, the fact we avoid the mark of the beast by keeping the commandments of God and our faith in Jesus is proof yet again it will be a choice and not a forced edict…Even though it will be something that makes us have to “persevere.”
Revelation 20:4 In this passage of scripture it is revealed that literally there will be martyrdom for those who had not received the mark of the beast on their right hand or forehead, and who refused to worship the beast or his image (Revelation 6:9-11 supports this), those people also were killed for the Word of God and the Word of their Testimony (supported by Revelation 12:11). The fact that they were killed for their refusal to take the mark of the beast on their right hand or forehead, and because they would not worship the beast or his image, once again this is proof that this edict will not be forced, but through coercion and even the death penalty it will be required if you want to be a part of the World system….But for us our Kingdom is not here, and this is why we will reign with Christ.
As followers of Jesus it is required of us to warn the populace in a kind, gracious, and loving manner as per what is coming as predicted in the Word of God and the hope Jesus represents.
The central bank digital currency system, digital IDs for everyone connected to a social scoring system, 24/7 surveillance of most all our activities via 5G and soon 6G technology, App on our cell phones used to enter stores, access public services, sporting events, to travel to buy (& sell) the “cashless society” is here and we are the “watchmen” for Jesus Christ.
