The least surprising news in Keir Starmer’s “order” to push imposed Digital ID on us all was the close involvement of Tony Blair and his “Institute for Global Change.”
Since his first failed ID cards push – scrapped in 2010 at a cost of up to £20bn to the taxpayer – Blair has been obsessively trying to impose a national ID system on us all.
Scrutiny of the vehicle he now uses to front this effort – the Tony Blair Institute – raises serious questions…
The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change (hereafter TBI) was set up in 2016, absorbing the Tony Blair Faith Foundation created by Blair in 2008 after he left Parliament.
At first TBI was funded by the reserves from the old organisation, but soon it attracted donations from governments, with £9m from Saudi Arabia and the US. These days, it says “We help governments and leaders get things done. We do it by advising on strategy, policy and delivery, unlocking the power of technology across all three.”
Strategy, policy and delivery… as this analysis points out, there are large sums to be made at every turn – as well as apparently glaring conflicts of interest.
TBI accounts for 2023 filed with Companies House list donors including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Larry Ellison Foundation.
The role of Ellison, a US tech tycoon and fourth richest person in the world, deserves particular scrutiny. Last year, The Times reported:
“Figures recently published by the foundation in the US show it has set aside $272 million (£213 million) for TBI in the coming years. The institute has previously received just over $100 million from Ellison.
TBI said it would use this money over five years to support its work “helping governments with reform and change programmes”.
The funding marks a new chapter in a decades-long bromance. Ellison, one of the world’s richest people with a fortune estimated at $135 billion by Forbes, became an ally of Blair during his time as prime minister.
Oracle, the software giant of which he is still chairman and chief technology officer, became an IT provider to the government during Blair’s time in office, and still has several Whitehall contracts.
After his departure from Downing Street, Blair remained friendly with Ellison. In 2009, two years after he left office, the pair were pictured during a stay aboard the American’s superyacht while it was moored off Sardinia.
The financial relationship between Ellison’s foundation and Blair’s body took off during the pandemic when TBI started collaborating with the Ellison Institute for Transformative Medicine and a team of scientists at Oxford.
In 2020, TBI and Oracle launched a cloud-based management system to help governments keep health records for vaccination programmes for yellow fever, HPV, polio, measles and Covid-19.
Filings by the Larry Ellison Foundation show it made donations to TBI of $5 million in 2018, and $10 million in both 2019 and 2020. The foundation made further payments of $34 million and $44 milllion to the TBI in 2021 and 2022, according to filings published by ProPublica. The latest document also reveals the $272 million that has been “approved for future payment” to the London-headquartered TBI to “support effective governance work in Africa”.
Database management is an area of expertise and business interest for Ellison and Oracle, which in 2022 bought Cerner, a healthcare software specialist, for $28.3 billion. His plan is to create a giant database of US medical records..
TBI was founded by Blair in 2017 and last year recorded revenues of $140 million… Blair… said his institute had provided advice to more than 40 governments and would soon surpass 1,000 staff.
It has come under scrutiny for its work advising authoritarian governments. It continued to do paid work for Saudi Arabia after the murder of the dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
Ellison’s firm Oracle “still runs more than half of the UK central government’s financial and planning software, including the Department for Work & Pensions, Ministry of Justice, Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, Cabinet Office, Home Office, HM Treasury, and Ministry of Defence,” reported tech website The Register in 2023. Huge recent donations from Ellison to TBI were:
“…set to contribute to a joint partnership the pair established in 2020 which aims to offer African countries a database of vaccination records to help monitor and combat diseases. The Institute hopes to increase the scope of the system across Africa. It aims to create a digital database of patient records that will be free for at least 10 years… (Ellison has also) promised to deliver ‘a unified national health records database on top of all of these thousands of separate hospital databases’ in the US..
Health databases have been something of a shared obsession between Blair and Ellison. While UK prime minister, the former attended a notorious Downing Street seminar on Monday 18 February 2002 at which Microsoft pitched the idea of a mega tech programme for the NHS, which became the £12 billion National Programme for IT. It was a disaster which was stopped early in 2011 and “did not deliver key benefits,” according to spending watchdog the National Audit Office…”
Frankly, 80 year old Ellison’s vision of the future sounds like hell.
Envisioning a world of total AI-based surveillance, “citizens will be on their best behaviour because we (will be) constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on,” he gleefully told a conference last year.
It doesn’t take a genius to see where this is all heading – a national digital ID system, sucking in ever more sensitive personal data, and used as a management tool to ensure “citizens will be on their best behaviour” is a grave threat to everyone’s freedom, privacy, and safety.
All this, and we haven’t even touched on the “elephant in the room” when it comes to Blair: his pivotal role in instigating the Iraq War, which led to the deaths of over a million people.
Needless to say, the aftermath of this war created a chain of crises throughout the Middle East, contributing to a massive wave of immigration to the UK… the very problem Blair now shamelessly makes out he can solve, if you’ll only shut up and accept his national digital ID scheme.
We’re fighting back – but, as you see, we’re up against extremely powerful opponents. When you join us as a member, we can do more.
Together is a grassroots organisation supported by our members – so the more members we have, the more chance we have of stopping this in its tracks – and ensuring a free future for ourselves, our kids, and our grandkids.
A few weeks ago, we beamed the NO TO DIGITAL ID message on to Parliament – but clearly we need to do much more.
The only way we can, is through member support.
Please join us here today and let’s get to work. Thank you.

The Digital ID Is the Last Step toward Full Enslavement

Decisions about digital IDs, also called e-IDs, will be made across the board by all countries (193 UN member-states) within short, or have already been made. In some cases, like Switzerland, people will have a choice, they will be able to vote on the decision, see below.
In other countries, the governments, or those who pull the strings behind their governments, will take the decision without consulting the people.
A digital ID would be your last step to full enslavement – even if it is sold to you as a “benefit,” an “all-in-one” ID, that allows you passage to everything. What it does not say is that this “passage” comes at a high cost of liberty. It is granted only if you comply fully with the conditions of the e-ID and the linked QR code.
It is an infamous QR code that follows you everywhere and controls every move you are making; and what’s worse, it can block you from making any move, from using your money, from traveling, from simply living because it can impose on you a potentially harmful or deadly “vaccination” mandate (remember the covid vaxxes).
Stay away from any QR code as much as you can.
In other words, the e-ID requires complete compliance, complete obedience – complete submission. Only then, may it let you pass, buy what you want, and travel where you want.
Complete Submission by e-ID and QR Code
The WHO has now full authority to decide over any country’s health sovereignty, including deciding on pandemics (plandemics, rather), imposing vaccinations, at their will. This applies to any country that has not opted out from accepting the revised IHR by 19 July 2025. Switzerland among many other WHO members (total 194) has not opted out. The new, revised IHR will enter into effect on 19 September 2025.
The United States, Austria, Italy, Serbia – and others – have opted out of the new revised IHR.
Please watch below Michael Yeadon’s, former Vice President of Research, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, short but concise and compelling statement about e-IDs.
In Switzerland, at its meeting on 21 May 2025, the Swiss Federal Council decided to put the the digital ID to a popular vote on 28 September 2025:
Federal Act of 20 December 2024 on electronic identification and other electronic means of authentication (eID Act, eIDG) (FF 2025 20).
The e-ID may be your last step to enslavement from where any escape may be literally impossible.
Please Vote NO…
And again, watch the short (5-min) video-clip by Michael Yeadon, former Vice President of Research, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals.

The Liberty Beacon Project is now expanding at a near exponential rate, and for this we are grateful and excited! But we must also be practical. For 7 years we have not asked for any donations, and have built this project with our own funds as we grew. We are now experiencing ever increasing growing pains due to the large number of websites and projects we represent. So we have just installed donation buttons on our websites and ask that you consider this when you visit them. Nothing is too small. We thank you for all your support and your considerations … (TLB)
