The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is continuing its digital ID agenda by helping advise Kenya in its rollout of the country’s Maisha Namba, a personal unique identifier tied to biometrics.
Down the road, implantable microchips are expected to be included in the system, although that is not currently part of the program.
MSM branded me a conspiracy theorist when i warned about this in 2020. It’s still seemed outlandish and frightening back then. Now everything has been normalized. We are cattle lined up at the abatoir.

The digital ID will expand the use of biometrics from fingerprints to iris and facial scans, at least as it currently stands.
India has been collecting all fingerprints, eyeball scans and facial recognition images in their Aadhaar system for years.
Alex Jones has been exposing the dark side of digital ID’s for decades.
“Individuals will be issued a digital ID as a virtual representation of their physical identification documents. The digital ID will not solely rely on fingerprint biometry like the Huduma card but will seek to widen the pool of biometrics in the national identification system to include iris and facial recognition,” Immigration and Citizen Services Principal Secretary Julius Bitok said in 2023, according to news site Kenyans.
Social programs, banking, medical, identification, purchases, birth certificates and other activities of modern society will require the Maisha Namba.
Many see the digital ID as the stepping stone to implantable microchips.
Interestingly, implantable microchips for humans have been trialed for decades. In 2004 the FDA approved the now-defunct VeriChip implant, a microchip the size of a grain of rice billed as ‘the future of patient identification‘ and ‘the future of emergency medicine‘.
Alex Jones specifically exposed the VeriChip in 2002, Jones was at the forefront of exposing the implantable microchip craze of the early 2000s.
The VeriChip’s eventual demise likely stemmed from the public’s opposition to being microchipped for ethical and privacy reasons.
“The VeriChip is injected under the skin of the upper arm or hip in an outpatient procedure,” Wired Magazine said in 2003. “A special scanner reads the RF signal emitted by the microchip to obtain the device’s ID number, which then is entered into a database to access personal data about the individual. Other potential uses of the chip, according to company officials, include scanning unconscious patients to obtain their medical records or restricting access to high-security buildings by scanning workers to verify their clearance.”
“Health Link is the connection between you and your personal health record. Health Link utilizes a tiny, passive microchip (the nation’s first and only microchip cleared for patient identification by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration) and a secure, private online database that links you to your personal health record. Your Health Link is always with you and cannot be lost or stolen. It provides emergency room doctors and nurses with your vital medical and emergency contact information, allowing them to treat you rapidly, accurately and safely during an emergency,” the VeriChip Corporation said on their website. “About the size of a grain of rice, the microchip is inserted just under the skin and contains only a unique, 16-digit identifier. The microchip itself does not contain any other data other than this unique electronic ID, nor does it contain any Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking capabilities. And unlike conventional forms of identification, the Health Link cannot be lost, stolen, misplaced, or counterfeited. It is safe, secure, reversible, and always with you.”
Outside of the medical setting the VeriChip was made trendy with one nightclub microchipping it’s partygoers.
Patients of 16 regional hospitals in the Greater Palm Beach, Florida area along with Mexican government officials and a Florida family also received the chips during its heyday, among others. The Atlantic reported that you too will likely receive a chip, ‘someday’.
A military member once called into The Alex Jones Show and reported that he was microchipped.
In 2006 a study was published documenting the VeriChip’s vulnerabilities as well as research the team conducted on the chips.
“The VeriChip™ is a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) tag produced commercially for implantation in human beings. Its proposed uses include identification of medical patients, physical access control, contactless retail payment, and even the tracing of kidnapping victims. As the authors explain, the VeriChip is vulnerable to simple, over-the-air spoofing attacks. In particular, an attacker capable of scanning a VeriChip, eavesdropping on its signal, or simply learning its serial number can create a spoof device whose radio appearance is indistinguishable from the original. We explore the practical implications of this security vulnerability,” the study said in the ‘Abstract’ section. “The authors argue that: 1 The VeriChip should serve exclusively for identification, and not authentication or access control. 2 Paradoxically, for bearer safety, a VeriChip should be easy to spoof; an attacker then has less incentive to coerce victims or extract VeriChips from victims’ bodies.”
