Iain Davis 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) 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.

What is digital ID?
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.
🎙️ Podcast episode
In this conversation recorded for my UK Column show, Iain broke apart digital ID and why fighting against its implementation is the hill to die on.

Talking points
- Digital ID systems enable global behavioural control.
- UK's BritCard distracts from digital ID.
- Resistance requires personal responsibility and non-compliance.
- Public-private partnerships advance digital ID.
- Digital ID risks evolving into social credit systems.
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.
