The “Reimagined State”: Tony Blair Institute’s Blueprint for a Global Techno-Dictatorship
snip:
Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who leads the institute, has called digital ID an “essential part of modern digital infrastructure.” Under his plan, each citizen would be assigned a single digital identifier linking personal health, tax, welfare, and immigration records. More alarmingly, such a system could give the state the power to track citizens and exclude them from services as punishment.
Bank accounts could be frozen, access to air travel restricted, and movement monitored through electronic toll systems. Since the same global advocates are pushing for electric vehicles, the ability to charge one’s car could also be suspended. In effect, an individual’s mobility and financial access could be controlled from a central government computer system.
Policies like the Green New Deal could be enforced digitally by cutting off electricity or water once monthly limits are exceeded, or by canceling flights after a person’s air travel pollution credits run out. Critics warn that Tony Blair’s “Future of Britain” and “Reimagined State” initiatives are not mere modernization efforts but blueprints for a global technocratic system. By linking digital identity systems, central bank digital currencies, and cross-border data networks, the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) promotes a framework that could enable digital totalitarianism, where access to essential services depends on government approval. What Blair describes as “a little work of persuasion” toward modernization, is the normalization of mass surveillance and centralized control over private life.
