Big Brother is knocking and he's comin' in

I just love how we are being conditioned as a society and now that it has become so commonplace, they don't even try to hide the fact any longer. Our televisions and radios are slapping us with messages of conformity and we seem happy to oblige. First up are the newest credit card commercials. We see this beautiful scene at a local business establishment, where all the people are harmoniously going about their business and the world looks like a big ball of sunshine. Then the most evil of things happen -- some person whips out cash or a check and brings this harmonious event to a screeching halt. The cashless society is upon us and for those of us who wish to keep our beloved dollar bills, our days are numbered. The reason? We are the individuals that are a threat to tear down that beautiful scene and that cannot be tolerated. Next, check out the current edition of a traditional board game where you travel in a square and pass rental properties along the way. Now it has an electronic edition. Again, no need for that pesky think called cash, just give the banker your card, they swipe it and all is OK in the world. Conditioning before the age of 10 -- you gotta love it. And the final item I will rant on tonight is the new driver's license. I was issued my very own tracking device just recently and I keep peeping over my shoulder. "The new design features a number of embedded digital enhancements to ensure authenticity, some detectable only with a black light, and a barcode on the back with embedded secure data." That is an exact quote off the BMV website. Digital enhancements? Barcode with Embedded secure data? I don't know about you but it makes me more than a little nervous. I love to read old science fiction and some of the things I've read are starting to come true. The first book that comes to mind is Fahrenheit 451. Look at the central ideas and the technology that is sprinkled throughout the book. Sounds familiar doesn't it. Or I just could be paranoid. :)

The Government is already fielding that technology on the Military. We already have our history and medical information in our ID cards in an embedded chip and barcodes on the back. (This includes social security number, blood type, religious prefrence and more, all information can be accessed via fingerprint identification and/or pin number). Ask any person in the Military to see their ID card to see what it looks like.
We also have a (no cash) system(called Eagle Cash here in the field) just like it, also using embedded chip technology tied directly to ones bank.
No, you are NOT being paranoid, tested by the US Military.
Thank you Thank you Thank you
Between surveillance (let's call it what it is) and the tearing apart of our constitution we are headed in a direction of which our founding fathers would be appalled.
Read Naomi Wolf's "The End of America-A Letter to a Young Patriot" Maybe one of the most important books out there.
"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."
--Abraham Lincoln
I happen to be one of the individuals to recently receive a letter from the BMV stating that under their new program they have found that my BMV information does not match with what the social security administration has on file for me and if I do not update this information then my license will be revoked come January 1st. They go on to say this is for my own benefit as it will help them protect my identity from being stolen. PULLEASE!!
The social security number is one of the easiest things to find out about a person in todays information society. This is nothing but a back door attempt by the federal government to bring in a national identity card. One of the reccommendations of the 9/11 commission was for all states to have standardized drivers license/identification cards of the same format.
Funny thing is, there is absolutely no federal law or statute that requires a person to have a social security number, the social security regulations specifically prohibit the use of the social security number for identification purposes, and the privacy act of 1974 provides very clear penalties for any entity that denies a person a service or product based on their unwillingness or refusal to provide a social security number. So how does the state BMV justify their actions? I haven't found out yet, but time will tell. For those who don't like their social security number used as their national identity number, you had better start writing and calling your representatives at the state and federal levels to let them know what you think. At the rate things are progressing it will be but a matter of time before we will have travel restrictions placed on us or we have to show our "papers" to go anywhere. After all we are at "war"...remember and sacrifices must be made. For ready reference study german history, circa 1930 -1938.
