The larger grocers now have a machine that reads your store discount card and prints out shopper specific coupons. To keep you from traveling to other branches of that same chain (and stocking up on a bargain-priced item), the kiosk sends a radio message out to the other stores that tells them which coupons you’ve printed out and prevents duplications.

These spy machines, acting in tandem, can track your various activities so that soon as you walk past a vending machine it will sense your I.D. and talk to you saying, “Good afternoon Mr. Bacchus, I see that it has been 5.5 hours since you consumed your last ‘Five Hour Energy’ drink! Wouldn’t you like to purchase another boost? … or perhaps you would like to switch to your favorite anesthesia, a nice cold Tequiza?”

These chips can be easily embedded in each twenty dollar bill that the bank counts out to you on payday, and if they later show up at your local crack dealer’s den (when he gets busted or killed), you might have a LOT explaining to do…

Soon these tags will be sewn directly and inextricably into the very fibers of our clothing. Each item that you buy will be marked with a one of a kind number that directly ties you to it at the point of purchase. The clerk at a Victoria’s Secret store will glance at a screen at the checkout and say. “Good afternoon Ms. Nymph, I see that you are wearing your partner’s three year old boxers today, wouldn’t you like to purchase a new silk satin thong while yours are all apparently in the dirty laundry hamper?”

The government or some mega-corporation will monitor each political rally or protest march you participate in, and list them in your computer file, and note every book that you purchase or check out of the library on resisting big brother government or the oligarchy.

From the Book of Revelation (…perhaps prophetic after all… ), chapter 13: “…And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name…”

The U.S. government has an enormous tracking super-computer which it affectionately calls, “The Beast” (Battle Engagement Arena Simulation and Tracking) which was originally developed for military use… ( http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi/noframes/read/942 )

The U.S. military has already chipped a good number of our troops (like you would chip a valued pet), under the guise of tracking them, in case they are captured by enemy combatants.

Yeah I was so pissed about this last week, and I thought I was the only person who saw it.

There are so many levels of dangerous this National ID is, that everyone from anarchists to super right wing christians hate it.

It’s the average joe in the middle who is indifferent to the whole thing and that’s how it passed. If you have a voice anyone listens to, pitch a fit about this loudly. Tell the average Joe about how his life is going to dramatically change because some Senator piggybacked this horrible legislation to tsunami relief funds.

The fact that every senator voted on this, regardless of party, shows that this is about something much deeper. National ID initiative polls show an overwhelming opposition to the idea of a National ID card, yet the lawmakers we voted into office, happily jumped right in.

It’s dirty, and I’m moving to Canada when it comes into being.

Don’t be fooled: Canada has been strongly contemplating “Smart Cards” for a couple of years here, starting with your entire medical records (thanks, Universal Health Care… anybody ever been in for depression or other mental illness?)

I’m just surprised the US got to it first. This marks the beginning of The End of Dissent for anyone who disagrees with The Government: libertarians, religious people, alternate-lifestyle folks, and so on and so on…
