Lawmakers Eyeing National ID Card

Daniel 7:25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time.

Revelation 13:16-18 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads,
and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Lawmakers are proposing a national identification card — what they’re calling “high-tech, fraud-proof Social Security cards” — that would be required for all employees in the United States.

Graham, left, and Schumer, are calling for national ID cards to combat illegal immigration.

“We would require all U.S. citizens and legal immigrants who want jobs to obtain a high-tech, fraud-proof Social Security card. Each card’s unique biometric identifier would be stored only on the card; no government database would house everyone’s information,” they said. “The cards would not contain any private information, medical information or tracking devices. The card would be a high-tech version of the Social Security card that citizens already have.”

“Because of the ID card’s proposed universality, it will likely be requested and required by airlines, insurance agencies, health care providers, mortgage lenders, credit card companies, and so forth,” he said.

And this so-called mission creep is no fantasy.

  1. Anyone living in any geographical location on this planet including in USA should have a standardized means of identification that is acceptable the same way we accept a dollar bill as a genuine document. whether the person is "undocumented or over documented", whether the person is infants or adults, unless a de facto policy encourages some citizen to equated certain person or group as 3/5 of a person while dogs and other pets have ID. This is a human right issue.
    A person without an ID card might be subject to untimely death during some extraneous or unusual circumstances such as Alzheimer patient who is missing; a patient that was rushed at an hospital emergency room for a potential life threaten case and died there because the hospital could not find the pertinent medical information about the person

    The usual predators erected a wall of subterfuge against the national identification ID card on the pretext that it is affronts to liberty .Those who object to a national ID have acceptable means of ID. They pointed out that in times of crisis such classifications facilitate the targeting of persons on the basis of group affiliation, making individuals readily identifiable for possible detention, deportation, or death.
    Some argues that the standardized Identification card will allow the government to have full control over the live of anyone who live under its jurisdiction.
    Such argument fails to realize that government, and private sectors, have a wealth of information on us and they have modern technology at their disposal to control our spiraling eroding liberty. Some of those methods are done surreptitiously some are public knowledge. Some are done selectively while many are done indiscriminately.
    The government and the private sector have been using information, document and devices such as: driver license card who is a de facto internal passport in the U.S, car license plate, EZ Pass, non driver ID, Post Office mails, e-mail, web sites we visit, credit and debit cards, metro cards, medical insurance cards, credit reports, medical records, land line telephone, cable TV, cellular telephones, panoptic devices to name a few.

    The so called undocumented are here with the duplicity of the business community that use them as strike breakers and to undermine the labor unions.
    A percentage of the undocumented is working at a starvation wages and is compelled to live here in substandard conditions while their employers are reaping the profits exponentially, and leads opulent lifestyle. It is primary an economic issue with immigration ramifications.

  2. Interesting concept, Though I have heard it all before. If you can, take the time and do a search on the top here on Todays World News. I did one for you on RFID.
    http://todaysworldnewsinfo.blogspot.com/search?q=RFID
    The search can be continued as well.

    Also see Positve ID, National ID, Biometric ID, and it goes on and on. Be sure to see all the links to each article and see all the videos as well.
    You might get to understand why people fight this so much, and why it's not such a good idea at all.

    Thanks for your comment.
