» Pelosi Tells Students Elections Don’t Matter, There's a war on for your mind!

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - MARCH 28:  U.S. House mino...Image by Getty Images via @daylifeElections don't Matter? Take back your party? Is she serious? I think so. What's worse is she actually has influence somehow. What a sad state of mind.
http://www.infowars.com/pelosi-tells-students-elections-dont-matter
To my Republican friends: take back your party. So that it doesn’t matter so much who wins the election, because we have shared values about the education of our children, the growth of our economy, how we defend our country, our security and civil liberties, how we respect our seniors. Because there are so many things at risk right now — perhaps in another question I’ll go into them, if you want. But the fact is that elections shouldn’t matter as much as they do… But when it comes to a place where there doesn’t seem to be shared values then that can be problematic for the country, as I think you can see right now. (Emphasis added.)
See a video of Pelosi’s comments here.
Pelosi basically said the will of the people should not be allowed to get in the way of the mandates of the state and the elite that own and control it. Republicans need to take control of the party and put an end to the growing calls for fiscal sanity in government. The very existence of the warfare-welfare state is at stake.

Dems spark alarm with call for national ID card

Obverse of Serbian national ID cardImage via Wikipedia
As People are out Protesting the New Arizona SP1070 Law, even though it did not pass. I wonder if they even know what they are protesting for. See Arizona's law would have stopped this new International system which most remember as Real ID.
Now, being that the new AZ law is delayed for who know how many years. It give the Feds a way to move on their own agenda of Immigration Reform. Otherwise know as National ID. It is the RFID tracking system for all Americans, Mexicans and Canadians, and as the U.N. Grows in their own efforts. This system will be used World Wide.

Think, ahhh big deal? Get ready to be educated with this post and the next few. Be sure to read through them all. Educate yourself and know the truth. Lord knows the News won't even talk about this part much. But, This is it.

  • A plan by Senate Democratic leaders to reform the nation’s immigration laws ran into strong opposition from civil liberties defenders before lawmakers even unveiled it Thursday.

    Democratic leaders have proposed requiring every worker in the nation to carry a national identification card with biometric information, such as a fingerprint, within the next six years, according to a draft of the measure.

  • The national ID program would be titled the Believe System, an acronym for Biometric Enrollment, Locally stored Information and Electronic Verification of Employment.

    It would require all workers across the nation to carry a card with a digital encryption key that would have to match work authorization databases.

    “The cardholder’s identity will be verified by matching the biometric identifier stored within the microprocessing chip on the card to the identifier provided by the cardholder that shall be read by the scanner used by the employer,” states the Democratic legislative proposal.

    The American Civil Liberties Union, a civil liberties defender often aligned with the Democratic Party, wasted no time in blasting the plan.

  • For some years now, Newsweek columnist Christopher Dickey has written “Shadowland,” a must-read column and blog that connects the dots in the netherworlds of war and terror, spying and geopolitics.
    +


  • His column last week, however, was all about Arizona, immigration and his argument that Americans should adopt a national ID system. You can read for yourself at www.newsweek.com/id/237950.

  • While we expect our government to do something about illegal immigrants, we seem to view any government measures to track citizens — meaning you and me — to be a Big Brother intrusion, a quaint notion at a time when you can hardly cross a street or make an ATM withdrawal without being videotaped and dropped into a database.


  • Immigration and IDs: A Modest Proposal

    All Americans—whether brown, white, or black—should be required to carry a passport showing they are red, white, and blue.



  • In police states, this is a pretty ugly process—most often an attempt at intimidation, or extortion, or both. In democracies, it can be pretty ugly, too, and sometimes for the same reasons. But you get used to it, and if we’re serious about drawing lines against illegal immigration—which is all about defining who is a card-carrying American and who is not—a national ID is the obvious first step. Without it, we’re left guessing who “looks like” or “sounds like” a bona fide gringo.
    +


  • United States—are expensive. Mine tend to wear out fast in my back pocket, and the last one I got cost a hundred bucks. So let’s be reasonable. At a minimum all Americans should be required to have one of the wallet-sized passport cards issued by the feds.  They cost $20 if you’ve had a regular passport before, $45 if you haven’t. Foreign citizens with United States Permanent Resident Cards, which have recently been redesigned and made more secure would only need to show those. Anything less—the “biometric Social Security card” advocated by some Democrats on Capitol Hill, say, or the Real ID program to modify state drivers’ licenses as national IDs or the E-Verify program for businesses to check employees’ true nationalities—is really just a workaround that doesn’t work. These schemes also create whole new layers of bureaucracy and vast new burdens for law enforcement.

    Napolitano: Internet Monitoring Needed to Fight Homegrown Terrorism


  • read more on www.foxnews.com
    WASHINGTON -- Fighting homegrown terrorism by monitoring Internet communications is a civil liberties trade-off the U.S. government must make to beef up national security, the nation's homeland security chief said Friday.
    As terrorists increasingly recruit U.S. citizens, the government needs to constantly balance Americans' civil rights and privacy with the need to keep people safe, said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

  • read more on www.foxnews.com
    Napolitano said it is wrong to believe that if security is embraced, liberty is sacrificed.
    She added, "We can significantly advance security without having a deleterious impact on individual rights in most instances. At the same time, there are situations where trade-offs are inevitable."
    As an example, she noted the struggle to use full-body scanners at airports caused worries that they would invade people's privacy.

    Pentagon revives Rumsfeld-era domestic spying unit

  • read more on blacklistednews.com
    The Pentagon's spy unit has quietly begun to rebuild a database for tracking potential terrorist threats that was shut down after it emerged that it had been collecting information on American anti-war activists.
    The Defense Intelligence Agency filed notice this week that it plans to create a new section called Foreign Intelligence and Counterintelligence Operation Records, whose purpose will be to "document intelligence, counterintelligence, counterterrorism and counternarcotic operations relating to the protection of national security."
    But while the unit's name refers to "foreign intelligence," civil liberties advocates and the Pentagon's own description of the program suggest that Americans will likely be included in the new database.

    Middle Class--Not the Rich or the Poor--Pay Majority of Federal Taxes, Says CBO Data
    Monday, June 21, 2010
    By Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor-in-Chief
    (CNSNews.com) - Middle-class Americans--not the rich or the poor--pay the majority of annual tax revenues taken in by the federal government, according to data released in a new Congressional Budget Office study. Households earning less than $34,300 per year, meanwhile, actually pay a negative average federal income tax rate.
     Middle-class households that earned between $34,300 and  $141,900 paid 50.5 percent of all federal tax revenues in 2007 (the most recent year analyzed), according to the CBO study released Thursday, and households that earned between $34,300 and $352,900 paid 66.7 percent of all federal taxes.
     Households in the top 1 percent for annual income (those earning more than $352,900) paid a healthy 28.1 percent of all federal taxes, but households in the lower income brackets paid relatively little. Those earning less than $34,300 paid only 5.2 percent of all federal taxes, and those earning less than $20,500 carried almost none of the federal tax burden (just 0.8 percent of the total) in 2007.

ACLU blasts national ID card proposal

This is what not only Hispanics and all other races should be fighting against. But All Americans and every Nation on the face of this planet.
This is all about tagging you and me to be tracked and told what each one of us can and cannot do. Like get a job. AZ's new law just show the people that we don't need this to run. Yet so many are mad cause the Media tells them to be? Yet this is slipping right through the enire nation and the rest of the World and Nobody says a word? How twisted is this world we live in? If this passes. Does anyone actually think there will be any kind of individual rights anymore? Let alone. Being able to come and go as we please?
Not only did Obama get all the poor Hispanic families riled up about the wrong laws being passed in Arizona, But this is what he is doing behind the scenes. With AZ's new law, We will not need this card.
Do the math people.

Thousands turn out for a May day march and rally in support of immigrant rights in Los Angeles

WASHINGTON, April 30 (UPI) -- Civil liberties advocates decried a Democratic proposal that would require all workers in the United States to carry an ID card with biometric identifiers.

Senate Democratic leaders Thursday revealed an outline to reform U.S. immigration laws, including a proposal requiring workers to carry a national card with biometric data, such as fingerprints, within six years.

The American Civil Liberties Union ripped the ID card program, called "Believe," an acronym for Biometric Enrollment, Locally-stored Information and Electronic Verification of Employment, The Hill reported Friday.

"Creating a biometric national ID will not only be astronomically expensive, it will usher government into the very center of our lives," ACLU legislative counsel Christopher Calabrese said.

The proposal would require all workers to carry a card with a digital encryption key that must match work-authorization databases.

My Way News - Mind-reading systems could change air security

GE security scanner at DFWImage by andysternberg via Flickr

  • "CHICAGO (AP) - A would-be terrorist tries to board a plane, bent on mass murder. As he walks through a security checkpoint, fidgeting and glancing around, a network of high-tech machines analyzes his body language and reads his mind. Screeners pull him aside. Tragedy is averted. As far-fetched as that sounds, systems that aim to get inside an evildoer's head are among the proposals floated by security experts thinking beyond the X-ray machines and metal detectors used on millions of passengers and bags each year. On Thursday, in the wake of the Christmas Day bombing attempt over Detroit, President Barack Obama called on Homeland Security and the Energy Department to develop better screening technology, warning: "In the never-ending race to protect our country, we have to stay one step ahead of a nimble adversary." The ideas that have been offered by security experts for staying one step ahead include highly sophisticated sensors, more intensive interrogations of travelers by screeners trained in human behavior, and a lifting of the U.S. prohibitions against profiling. Some of the more unusual ideas are already being tested. Some aren't being given any serious consideration. Many raise troubling questions about civil liberties. All are costly. "Regulators need to accept that the current approach is outdated," said Philip Baum, editor of the London-based magazine Aviation Security International. "It may have responded to the threats of the 1960s, but it doesn't respond to the threats of the 21st century." Here's a look at some of the ideas that could shape the future of airline security:"
