WWCR- The BritCard and the Birth of Digital Tyranny

The Thompson Show – October 10, 2025 (WWCR 4840 kHz)

Broadcasting from a cabin in the Smoky Mountains, Todd takes The Thompson Show on the road for a fiery, wide-ranging episode that ties world events to the tightening noose of digital control.

🔹 Segment Highlights

• The Future of Shortwave Todd opens with reflections on the importance of shortwave as one of the last truly uncensored broadcast mediums. He urges a new generation of articulate, credible voices to reclaim the platform from the stereotypes of conspiracy radio, positioning it as a 21st-century refuge for free speech when corporate and government censors dominate the internet.

• The Hijacking of “Solidarity” Marking the second anniversary of Hamas’s October 7th attack, Todd dissects the global “solidarity” marches that glorified the massacre, vandalized public memorials, and whitewashed terrorism. He argues that the word solidarity has been redefined to mean selective outrage and moral inversion; compassion only for killers, not their victims.

• Greta Thunberg’s Flotilla Folly After her second Gaza “aid mission” ends in Israeli custody, Greta reappears on camera claiming abuse. Todd calls the stunt a preplanned PR spectacle, another chapter in what he calls the “celebrity messiah complex” of the activist class.

• Digital ID: The Gateway to Digital Tyranny The core of the episode. Todd breaks down the UK’s proposed “BritCard” system and explains how digital IDs, sold as tools for immigration control and efficiency, are fast becoming the infrastructure of surveillance states. He traces parallels to:

• France’s Avia Law and EU Digital Services Act, which weaponize “hate speech” regulation into speech policing.

• China’s Social Credit System, where compliance determines access to jobs, banking, and travel.

• India’s Aadhaar program, now expanded from welfare to every aspect of daily life.

He warns that such systems create “soft tyranny” through algorithmic compliance, a future where a wrong opinion, an unpaid fine, or an inconvenient post could silently lock you out of work, money, and communication.

• Palantir Backs Out Breaking news from the UK: tech giant Palantir refuses to participate in the BritCard rollout, citing risks of misuse and lack of democratic mandate. Todd calls it a major red flag: if even Palantir won’t touch it, what do they know that politicians don’t?

• Closing Thoughts from the Mountains From his temporary studio near Gatlinburg, Todd ends with humor, a few tales of black bear neighbors, and a sobering reminder: once a government gains digital control, it never gives it back. “A state that can kill your login,” he says, “can kill your freedom.”
