[Iain Davis](https://iaindavis.substack.com/) is an investigative journalist and author known for his critical analyses of global governance structures, digital identity systems and the UN's Sustainable Development agenda.

His work often examines how SDG 16, particularly target 16.9 on digital identity, serves as a mechanism for enforcing a centralised global governance regime, enabling mass surveillance and control through public-private partnerships. 

His book [*Pseudopandemic: New Normal Technocracy* (2021)](https://www.amazon.com/Pseudopandemic-Normal-Technocracy-Iain-Davis/dp/B097CZ3K7K?ref=jermwarfare.com) looks into how global events are leveraged to advance technocratic control, connecting elements like carbon neutrality, ESG criteria, social credit systems, and digital currencies.

> The pseudopandemic has introduced us to the administration system for this new eugenicist normal. Technocracy can be defined as a scientific dictatorship.

Iain argues that digital ID isn't just a convenient login tool — it's a comprehensive surveillance and control system that binds together every aspect of your life, and can be used to permit or deny your access to society based on ever-shifting 'risk signals' judged by governments and corporations.

> We are being rapidly transitioned into a new system of centralised, authoritarian global governance. This system is designed to be a technocracy, and, as such, it is truly totalitarian.
