I just want my identity back. That’s all. The Departed 2006 starring Jack Nicholson & Leonardo DiCaprio & Matt Damon & Ray Winstone & Martin Sheen & Mark Wahlberg & Vera Farmiga & Alec Baldwin & Anthony Anderson et al, director Martin Scorsese, Billy to Colin
There’s something about me you don’t know. It’s a secret I’ve been hiding since I was a child … The truth is, I’m not who you think I am … The Real Mo Farah, BBC 2022
I was born in Somaliland, north of Somali, as Hussein Abdi Kahin … I was brought into the UK illegally under the name of another child … From that moment, I knew I was in trouble. ibid.
I wasn’t treated as part of the family. I was always that kid who did everything. ibid.
The progress from there was just stratospheric. ibid. Mo’s PE teacher
I feel with some passion that what we truly are is private, and almost infinitely complex, and ambiguous, and both external and internal, and double – or triple – or multiply natured, and largely mysterious even to ourselves; and furthermore that what we are is only part of us, because identity, unlike ‘identity’, must include what we do. And I think that to find oneself and every aspect of this complexity reduced in the public mind to one property that apparently subsumes all the rest (gay, black, Muslim, whatever) is to be the victim of a piece of extraordinary intellectual vulgarity. Philip Pullman
Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation. Oscar Wilde
First of all, although men have a common destiny, each individual also has to work out his own personal salvation for himself in fear and trembling. We can help one another to find the meaning of life no doubt. But in the last analysis, the individual person is responsible for living his own life and for ‘finding himself’. If he persists in shifting his responsibility to somebody else, he fails to find out the meaning of his own existence. You cannot tell me who I am and I cannot tell you who you are. If you do not know your own identity, who is going to identify you? Thomas Merton
Our identities have somehow been erased or suppressed. Star Trek: The Next Generation s5e14: Conundrum, Picard on bridge
You are forcing that identity on me. It isn’t mine. Star Trek: Voyager s4e2: The Gift, Seven of Nine to Janeway
To craft a modern feudal society the globalists are implementing a standardized North American ID card to track, trace and control their serfs as they travel throughout the three regions of the NAU. Alex Jones, Endgame
If you meet a woman in a burqa, she can’t reply to your smile. It’s a denial of identity. Jean-Francois Cope
Once we are forced to present these cards to various forms of authority, we will be leaving a data trail that will be giving our rulers extraordinary knowledge of what used to be our private lives. Dispatches, Stealing Away Your Freedom, Channel 4 2008

You are not your job; you’re not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet. You are not your fucking khakis. You are all singing, all dancing crap of the world. Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club
I know imitation is the highest form of flattery, but stealing one’s identity is totally different. AnnaLynne McCord
Everyone has an identity. One of their own, and one for show. Jacqueline Susann, Valley of the Dolls
The face – it’s the way we recognise each other. But to machines we are code. We are being transformed into a face print, a unique set of points that converts our very humanity into data, traceable, trackable for ever, online, or on the streets will you ever be a face in the crowd again? Dark Net s2e5: My Identity, Showtime 2016
A master surgeon with no medical training. A Hollywood producer whose most outrageous story turned out to be the one about himself. And a jazz musician whose greatest performance was the one that was given offstage. What makes a person want to become someone else? The UnXplained with William Shatner s1e22: Leading Double Lives, History 2020
Let’s face it, at one time or another most of us have fantasised about trying on a new identity. ibid.

Half a century ago people had to be reassured their social security card was not being used for identification. Now there are federally standardized and globally synchronized ID cards, government-sponsored online ID projects, DNA databases, and even secret databases of your newborn baby’s genetic information and nobody bats an eyelid. How did we get here, and how can we break this conditioning? The Corbett Report: Global ID, James Corbett online 2015 & 2023
Everyone at the time knew that was a sign of tyranny. ibid.
It’s a globally standardised ID that is gradually being implemented everywhere in the world. ibid.
Do you ever get the idea that seemingly every government, corporation, financial institution, globalist-connected NGO, in the entire world is right now pushing the idea of digital ID as the way of the future? The Corbett Report: The Global Digital ID Prison, James Corbett online 2022
You have to have the ability to prove who you are so that then you can access government services … Probably where the fundamental deception begins. ibid.
