Operation Lockstep is progressing inexorably: Global agenda drives citizens into the digital trap
A global roadmap is taking shape
More and more countries are accelerating the introduction of digital identities. What is officially presented as progress in security and convenience turns out, upon closer inspection, to be a roadmap to a digital society of control. The parallels to the infamous Operation Lockstep are unmistakable: Citizens are being introduced to the new system step by step – until there is no way out.
Great Britain, Australia, Switzerland – the same pattern
In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer made it clear: no job without a digital ID. No voluntary participation, no flexibility. Australia started more gently: In December 2024, it was still stated that the digital ID was voluntary. A few months later, citizens could no longer even use search engines without age verification.
Now Switzerland is doing the same: On September 22, 2025, voters approved the introduction of the e-ID by a razor-thin majority of 50.4%. Again, the claim is that everything will remain voluntary, data will only be stored on smartphones, and the government will be in control – not private corporations. But experience shows: These promises only hold until the next step follows.
The script: “Voluntary” → “indispensable”
The pattern is clear: Initially, data protection and freedom of choice are used as a token of support. But as soon as there is sufficient acceptance, the lever is pulled. Who doesn’t remember similar developments with vaccinations, surveillance laws, or banking regulations?
The end result is a forced connection to all areas of life: work, travel, banking, healthcare – nothing without digital ID.
World Economic Forum as pacesetter
The World Economic Forum (WEF) openly declares that digital identity is part of the “fourth industrial revolution.” It is intended to be linked to trade, investment, the digital economy, global health, civil rights, and even gender equality policies. In other words: without digital ID, there is no social participation.
China’s blueprint: social credit system
Anyone who wants to know where this is headed only needs to look at China. There, the digital ID was the first step toward a social credit system. Today, citizens there lose their rights if they make a “mistake” – whether it’s critical reporting or unpaid bills. Millions of people are already on blacklists, forbidden from traveling or taking out loans.
This logic is now being imported to the West – only more subtly, packaged in laws to “protect children on the Internet” or to “protect citizens.”
From Palantir to AI: The infrastructure is ready
While China is taking the hard line, Western states are taking digital control through Big Tech: Palantir, Google, Apple, and others dominate the infrastructure. AI-supported systems are used to monitor movements, communications, and financial flows. The alleged “encryption” of private devices is an illusion – Big Tech holds the keys.
Where does it lead?
The introduction of digital IDs is not an isolated project. It is the core of a coming architecture of surveillance, control, and coercion:
- Expiring currencies (CBDCs)
- Restrictions on access to work and education
- Penalties for dissenting opinions
- Travel and consumption restrictions
- Automated sanctions through AI
Conclusion: nip it in the bud
This development is no longer a scenario, but reality. From London to Berlin, from Canberra to Washington, laws are being created that insidiously drive citizens into the digital trap. Anyone who still believes it’s just about convenience will soon realize that everything is at stake: freedom, self-determination, and human dignity.
It is high time to organize worldwide resistance – before the digital chain finally snaps shut.
