The Biden regime has announced plans to completely ban air travel in 2025 for Americans who refuse to carry a new WEF-inspired digital ID.
According to journalist Patrick Webb, the US government plans to launch its controversial federal ID program, called Real ID, for domestic air travel on May 7, 2025.
Webb declared on X Sunday that this will ban all adults from domestic flights unless they have replaced traditional state-issued IDs with Real IDs.
Leo’s Newsletter reports: On the government’s own DHS website, it states:
Are you REAL ID ready?
On May 7, 2025, U.S. travelers must be REAL ID compliant to board domestic flights and access certain federal facilities.
This change raises major concerns about privacy and state surveillance.
In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, Congress passed the Real ID Act in 2005 (signed by George W. Bush) and it was presented by the Department of Homeland Security as a means to standardize the issuance of ID cards, driver’s licenses, and similar forms of identification. But what this really represents is a national ID card through back-door means. Nothing could be more un-American than a national ID card but come May 7 of next year we will all need to have one or be treated as second-class citizens.
The only other option is a U.S. passport.
But here’s the rub: Fewer than half of Americans possess a passport, according to the U.S. Department of State.
Without a passport, adults will be left with Real ID or so-called Enhanced ID as their only options. However, as noted by Webb, the Enhanced IDs will only be valid for land or sea travel to Mexico and Canada, not for domestic flights. Not to mention, Enhanced IDs are only issued by five states — Washington, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Vermont.
So, it appears the goal here is to shut down air travel for a large portion of the American public, certainly those who are concerned about government abuse of the new federalized Real ID program. How convenient that this dove-tales perfectly with the globalist climate agenda known as “net zero emissions,” in which they have stated they want to see dramatically fewer people traveling by air.
Why the states ever allowed the federal government to hijack the identification process is beyond me. But why should we be surprised, as the states have allowed the feds to hijack just about everything, including the roads we drive on, our education system, the firearms business, all labor and housing, healthcare, food production and distribution, everything.
Webb reports that privacy watchdog groups like the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) argue that the US government is essentially forcing states to turn driver’s licenses into national IDs, “which carry severe privacy implications.”
EFF asserts that the purported goal of improving national security will not be met and instead, Real ID will lead to the erosion of privacy and the expansion of state surveillance, Webb says.
EFF likens Real ID to the Social Security number, which began as an innocuous identifier but evolved into a crucial component of numerous government services and private databases of personal information.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) shares these concerns, emphasizing the financial and administrative burdens of Real ID. The ACLU has joined states in opposing the law and advocating for its repeal.
