<p class="has-text-align-justify"><strong>Alex Newman joined <em>The New American</em>’s podcast last year to discuss this report and what it means for parental rights and educational freedom.</strong></p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">In December 2024, the UK’s <a href="https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3909">Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill</a>, first announced in the King’s Speech during the 2023 State Opening of Parliament, was introduced into the Uk Parliament by the Department for Education. It has passed three readings in the House of Commons and two readings in the House of Lords.  It is now at the report stage before having its third and final reading in the House of Lords.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Child rights advocates have raised several key concerns about the Bill, primarily centred on human rights, privacy and the erosion of parental autonomy.  They argue the Bill is a violation of parental and family rights, and an overreach and surveillance via the Unique Identifier.</p>

</ul>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">It can’t be coincidence that the UK government, despite the consequences, is suddenly taking an interest in controlling the information children are taught or exposed to; considering <a href="https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/what-you-need-know-about-homeschooling-through-human-rights-lens">UNESCO’s homeschooling report</a>, it can only be seen as part of a global agenda being dictated by a supranational non-governmental organisation (“NGO”) which is controlled by oligarchs – the United Nations.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">UNESCO’s report emphasises a rights-based approach, asserting that governments, not parents, are the primary duty-bearers in ensuring children’s access to quality education.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">It advocates for curricula aligned with UN-mandated values, including global citizenship, respect for diversity and comprehensive sexuality education, while discouraging traditional gender roles and religious “dogmatic approaches” that may promote intolerance.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">These UN demands represent an overreach, undermining parental autonomy and constitutional protections.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">By <a href="https://libertysentinel.org/">Liberty Sentinel</a>, 12 November 2025</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">The United Nations is once again attacking homeschoolers in an attempt to control the education of youth to embrace collectivism, climate hysteria, social-emotional learning, and globalism, explains <a href="https://libertysentinel.org/alex/">Alex Newman</a> for <a href="https://thenewamerican.com/"><em>The New American</em>’s</a> ‘Behind The Deep State’.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">A new UNESCO report, prepared under the supervision of a literal North Korean totalitarian, explains that homeschooling, if not done by the UN’s standards, can violate a student’s “human rights.” Therefore, all forms of education must be viewed through a “rights-based” lens.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">This invasion of parental rights and educational freedom must be taken seriously, Newman said. The UN’s efforts to control the education of our children must be resisted once and for all.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<img width="300" height="157" src="https://www.hopegirlblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/mark-carney.jpg" class="webfeedsFeaturedVisual wp-post-image" alt="mark carney" style="display: block; margin: auto; margin-bottom: 5px;max-width: 100%;" link_thumbnail="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /><p>Canada’s federal government is quietly moving forward with a national digital ID system, slipping the plan into the depths of its 2025 budget where almost no one would notice.</p>
<p>On page 490 of the massive document, the Liberal Party government <a href="https://budget.canada.ca/2025/report-rapport/intro-en.html">proposes</a> to “modernize legislative authorities to support information sharing and digital services” within the Department of Employment and Social Development.</p>
<p>However, the bland language masks a sweeping shift toward centralized digital identification.</p>
<p>The plan begins with a seemingly limited pilot: digital IDs for people applying for Employment Insurance and Old Age Security.</p>
<p>But the budget makes clear the ultimate goal is a fully integrated identity system linking multiple benefit programs under a single government-controlled profile.</p>
<p>“This modernization would benefit all Canadians,” the budget claims.</p>
<p>It continues by promising “efficient and convenient government services” and supposedly helping “seniors, newcomers, persons with disabilities, and rural residents.”</p>
<p>But critics note the pattern and warn that governments always pitch digital ID as “convenience,” only for it to expand into a universal surveillance and control tool once the infrastructure is built.</p>
<p><strong>A Slow Creep Toward a Unified, Centralized ID</strong></p>
<p>The federal bureaucracy has <a href="https://slaynews.com/news/canada-advances-plan-roll-out-centralized-digital-id/">floated</a> digital ID schemes before, only to retreat when public backlash erupted over privacy fears.</p>
<p>This time, the rollout is quieter. Narrower.</p>
<p>It’s framed as “modernizing benefits delivery” instead of erecting a national ID regime.</p>
<p>But behind the scenes, the architecture is already taking shape.</p>
<p>In 2024, Employment and Social Development Canada hired private consultants to explore merging its fragmented benefit systems.</p>
<p>Their conclusion was to mandate integration through a single digital identity, serving as a master key granting access to multiple programs, eliminating paperwork, and centralizing personal data in one place.</p>
<p>The department says the goal is “more integrated and efficient services across government.”</p>
<p>In practice, it means creating the largest single repository of citizens’ most sensitive data.</p>
<p><strong>Massive Privacy Risks, Minimal Transparency</strong></p>
<p>Digital identity systems consolidate everything, such as banking details, biometric data, health records, and government history, into a single target.</p>
<p>One breach exposes everything, and the centralized gatekeepers have control over all of it.</p>
<p>Canada’s own privacy commissioner warned in 2024 that public trust in data protection is collapsing, citing “limited trust” and deep concern about how institutions handle personal information.</p>
<p>The report also highlighted the rise of “state-sanctioned” data breaches, a stark reminder that foreign actors, and even governments themselves, see digital ID as a goldmine.</p>

<p>It’s being reported by Bloomberg and others today that one of the largest IT service providers to the U.S. military-industrial complex has experienced a major cybersecurity breach.</p>
<p>The company targeted is not a household name. But <strong>Leidos Holdings Inc.</strong> is known for its extensive work with the Pentagon, NASA, Homeland Security as well as other federal agencies and defense contractors. Leidos was the largest federal IT contractor in fiscal year 2022 with $4 billion in services under contract.</p>
<p>Now it has been breached.</p>
<p>Hackers leaked internal documents, raising concerns about the security of sensitive government data managed by not only Leidos but other third-party contractors as well.</p>
<p>According to <strong><a href="https://cybersecuritynews.com/pentagon-it-service-provider-hacked/" rel="">Cyber Security News</a></strong>, clients served by Leidos include the Defense Department, the Department of Homeland Security, NASA, other U.S. and foreign agencies, and private corporations. Contracts with the U.S. government constitute 87% of Leidos’ revenue.</p>
<p>We do not know the source of the hack. But this is how World War III will be fought – simultaneously on the battlefield and in cyberspace.</p>
<p>Cyber Security News reports that the leaked documents are believed to have been stolen as part of two breaches of Diligent Corp. in 2022, a platform Leidos used.</p>
<p>“The nature and sensitivity of the stolen documents remain unclear, but the leak underscores <a href="https://cybersecuritynews.com/automated-penetration-testing-tools/" rel="">vulnerabilities</a> in the cybersecurity frameworks of companies handling critical government information,” the news outlets writes.</p>
<p>According to the Cyber Press team investigation <a href="https://cyberpress.org/pentagen-nasa-it-service-provider-hacked/" rel="">report</a>, the data consists of one gigabyte of files in the following formats: zip, msg, doc, jpg, png, xls/x, and pdf. These files are associated with Leidos technical assistance and its customers.</p>
<p>Bloomberg News reviewed some files but couldn’t verify their authenticity due to obscured details. The exact content and nature of these documents have not been publicly disclosed.</p>
<p>Below is more from Cyber Security News:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>The company has not yet made a public statement regarding the specifics of the leaked documents or the steps it is taking to mitigate the impact. Leidos has declined to comment on the stolen information.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The threat actor responsible for the breach has indicated plans to sell the data in two different types, further exacerbating concerns over the potential misuse of sensitive information. This incident has prompted a broader discussion on government contractors’ security measures and protocols.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The consequences of such data breaches are far-reaching, including financial losses, reputational damage, operational disruptions, and legal complications.</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Leidos was formed in 2013 and later acquired Lockheed Martin Corp.’s information technology business.</p>
<p>This is a developing story. Stay tuned for more information.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">During a recent parliamentary briefing, Rosemary Kisembo, the Executive Director of the National Identification and Registration Authority of Uganda (“NIRA”), responded to questions about issues raised in the Auditor General’s 2022/2023 report.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify"><a href="https://id4africa.com/ambassador/rosemary-kisembo/">Rosemary Kisembo</a> is a Ugandan software engineer and corporate executive who has served as the Executive Director of the National Identification and Registration Authority of Uganda (NIRA) since 14 May 2021. She is an ambassador for <a href="https://id4africa.com/about/">ID4Africa</a>, a “movement” that aims to help African nations achieve the objectives of the United Nations (“UN”) Sustainable Development Goal 16.9.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify"><a href="https://id4africa.com/2022-partners/">ID4Africa’s foundation partners</a> are the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation and eBay founder Pierre Omidyar’s Omidyar Network.  Its development partner is the World Bank, a specialised agency of the UN, and its thematic partner is Mastercard.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">It is claimed that ID4Africa is not directly part of Identification for Development (“ID4D”) and is a regional movement that focuses on digital identity development in Africa.  However, ID4Africa aligns with the global ID4D agenda and its goals and has common orchestrators.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify"><a href="https://id4d.worldbank.org/">ID4D</a> is a World Bank initiative which focuses on promoting digital identification systems, globally. You can see how far this nefarious plan has progressed in various countries <a href="https://id4d.worldbank.org/country-action/id4d-diagnostics">HERE</a>.  In a report released in 2018 by the World Bank titled ‘<a href="https://documents1.worldbank.org/curated/en/921761542144309171/pdf/132011-REVISED-PUBLIC-ID4D-Uganda-Diagnostic-12282018.pdf"><em>ID4D Country Diagnostic: Uganda</em></a>’ the World Bank stated: “The work of ID4D is made possible with support from World Bank Group, Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation, Omidyar Network, and the Australian Government.”</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">A more recent report – the ‘<a href="https://documents.worldbank.org/en/publication/documents-reports/documentdetail/099647503042425828/idu1a9d1a6be130dc148e6193181cf9d26959fb9">World Bank’s Annual Report for 2023</a>’ published in March this year – showcased the significant progress made by ID4D and its ugly sister the Digitalising Government to Person Payments (“G2Px”) initiative and named the collaborators.</p>

<p class="has-text-align-justify">ID4D and G2Px’s success would not be possible without the close collaboration and strong support of the Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation; French Treasury; Norwegian Agency for Development (Norad); United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office; and the Omidyar Network. It is also a result of partnerships with academia, the private sector, and civil society.</p>

</ul>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Kisembo’s ambassadorship of ID4Africa, and by extension the Bill Gates-World Bank ID4D initiative, indicates why she was chosen to head NIRA and what is lurking behind the agenda.  Bearing this in mind, let’s return to the recent Ugandan parliamentary briefing.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify"><a href="https://ubc.go.ug/2024/07/02/nira-to-incorporate-iris-scanning-in-national-id-registration/">According to the Uganda Broadcasting Corporation</a> (“UBC”), Kisembo stated that there are currently 1 million people in NIRA’s register whose fingerprints did not satisfy the requirements. However, the authority also uses facial recognition to capture biometric data. So, NIRA will start incorporating iris scans in capturing biometric data for people registering to acquire national identities (“IDs”).</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">NIRA had announced its <a href="https://www.biometricupdate.com/202401/uganda-mulls-requiring-return-of-old-identity-cards-to-issue-new-generation-ids">intention to add iris biometrics</a> to the national ID card, produced in partnership with Veridos, early this year.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">According to Kisembo, face and iris biometrics will be collected from persons who have lost their vital fingerprint features either due to ageing, injury, permanent disabilities, or other physical conditions that make the capture of one’s fingerprints difficult or impossible. This was part of her response to a question on why verification machines have been unable to recognise some people’s fingerprints. She mentioned that about one million fingerprint records in the registry are no longer recognisable.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">As well as government subsidies, <a href="https://nira.go.ug/fees">NIRA collects revenue through various means</a> to support its operations and services:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Registration fees from National Identification Number (“NIN”) registration, National Identity Card registration and Replacement of lost or damaged identity cards.</li>
<li>Fees for services such as verification of identity documents and Issuance of duplicate identity cards.</li>
<li>Other fees such as from the sale of identity cards to non-citizens and fees for the provision of identity verification services to government agencies and private organisations.</li>
</ul>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">They are making people pay for the system that will enslave them.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Showing no signs of shame, during the parliamentary briefing, lawmakers sought an explanation on why just about half of the 15 billion Ugandan shillings (£3.2 million) expected as non-tax revenue from NIRA in the 2022/2023 fiscal year was collected.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Kisembo said this is due to delays in starting the mass registration and renewal process for the national ID from which UGX7.9 billion (£1.7 million) was projected to be raised.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">NIRA put off a plan to commence mass enrolment for the national ID in June, and it is now not clear when exactly the exercise will begin.</p>
<p class="has-text-align-justify">Kisembo also took the opportunity to remind lawmakers that NIRA remains headquartered at a facility owned by the Ministry of Defence. The agency has requested offices of its own for the last four years, but the request has been “an unfunded priority” each year, she said, according to <a href="https://www.newvision.co.ug/category/news/new-national-id-system-to-use-iris-biometrics-NV_191320" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Vision</a>.</p>
