Secure Freedom Minute: Britain Lurches Towards the “China Model” – Are We Next?

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.
 
Britain’s new leftist prime minister has responded to riots across his country by unveiling the expanded use of facial recognition, intelligence-sharing, “criminal behavior orders” and other surveillance techniques to restrict preemptively the movement and actions of opponents of the mass immigration that is radically transforming the U.K.
 
Where have we seen such practices relentlessly applied? They are the hallmark of totalitarian systems and have been comprehensively institutionalized by the Chinese Communist Party with its so-called “Social Credit System.”
 
The critical enabler to such a system is the requirement of digital ID cards. A newly adopted World Health Organization treaty supported by the Harris-Biden administration requires every nation to issue them – or, initially, paper ones – in the name of public health monitoring. Unless the U.S. Senate rejects this accord, we will be a pretext away from adopting, like Britain, the “China Model.”
