Track and Trace: Embedded Microchips and Facial Recognition


Queensland has taken another step towards a dystopian technocratic future with the implementation of new microchip technologies, facial recognition and the merger of said data to Federal agencies.

By General Maddox.

It doesn’t seem that long ago when Queenslanders carried around a simple laminated driver’s license. First introduced in 1986 as an upgrade to plain paper licenses that were brought in way back in 1910. The laminated license, although basic, served it’s purpose for nearly eight decades.

Remember these?

But as the years pass technology progresses as does the desire for the establishments lust for information and control.

2010 saw the introduction of the new “credit card” style driver’s license at a cost of nearly $140 million to taxpayers. Seen as more reliable and durable the card also came complete with a microchip on the surface to store your information. But that’s not all. The introduction of facial recognition technology was seen as a major leap forward in terms of “security”.

Newer license introduced in 2010

The 2010 version of the card had a readable microchip on the surface of the card to enable “greater functionality” of the card. Meaning that all your information is stored digitally as well as in printed form. However much more was able to be garnered from the chip such as your traffic history.

Not too long after this license was brought in more advancements in technology meant that the chip could now be embedded and accessed wirelessly by means of radio frequency identification or RFID. Similar to how credit cards have “paywave” technology.

Note the embedded RFID chip and added wireless symbol

Yet again we now see even more intrusive technology is being introduced. License plates on our vehicles from now on are set to have new technology to allow the government to track and trace our movements with greater detail. RFID Microchips will now be embedded in all new license plates for Queensland vehicles.

This step is being sold to the public as a necessity because the government says we are running out of available license plate combinations. The current Queensland population is approximately 5.1 million people. Of course not all of them are eligible to drive, being either ineligible, too young, too old or infirm. According to the Queensland government, in 2019 there were approximately 4.95 million vehicles registered that would use the 3 number / 3 letter combination plates.

According to online sources, and correct my math if I’m wrong, using the 3 number / 3 letter method seen on Queensland license plates means there are a bit over 17.5 million available combinations! So how can we be running out?

Streamlining data collection to enhance track and trace capabilities

Automatic license plate readers (ALPR’s) are used all over Australia including by law enforcement agencies. They are high speed, computer controlled camera systems that are mounted on street poles, overpasses, mobile trailers, and of course police vehicles. They are used to capture all license plate numbers that come into its field of view. Your plate is catalogued including, date, time, location and now even driver and passenger images.

The technology is sophisticated enough to now include facial recognition. All of which is uploaded to a central server. This information can be used to determine where you have been and where you’re going, was your vehicle at the scene of a crime, identity travel patterns and even to discover vehicles that may be associated with each other.

From TOTTnews.com:

According to reports, Queensland will become the next state to share driver’s license information with the federal government’s controversial national facial biometrics matching database.

The national Drivers License Recognition Solution (NDLRS) is part of the Identity Matching Services Bill 2019 which is currently still before the House of Representatives awaiting approval after being denied the first time.

The creation of these massive databases with biometric information garnered from the public in all States and Territories and then uploaded to a central federal system is yet another massive step towards full spectrum surveillance.

In previous Track and Trace exposés:

As we track and trace these methods ourselves we begin to see the plan coming together bit by bit. Moving us closer to a biometrically controlled social credit system that’s tied in to every aspect of our lives.

The end of privacy.

The beginning of a technocratic dystopia.

    Australian citizens have consented to all of this invasion of our personal rights by this totalitarian Government simply by their obedience. No mass protests have been held on this subject. Right from the beginning of this fiasco the people have accepted what they were told, did what they were told and continue to do so. Continually fed by the fake narrative of the mainstream media the majority of the population acquiesce completely. Until there is change by the people these evil rulers will continue their agenda for world domination.
