Tomorrow marks the day Germany will receive it's new National ID cards.Showing ID is nothing new to Germans.
Hitler & the Nazis wrote the requirement to do so into law in 1939 & the process has remained since.
The new cards will contain:
-a digital biometric photograph,
-retina scan,
-fingerprints
and
-the infamous Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) microchip,
which will store all their information and aid in:
-identifying users on the internet,
-authenticating digital signatures,
and
-tracking via GPS coordinates.
The Federal Office for Information Security (BSI in German)
claims the cards will protect users from hackers and websites which phish for personal data.
But the German Chaos Computer Club (CCC) exposed the flaws in the software on TV
by hacking the new ID's with basic spyware.
2011 will see the birth of Secure Identity Across Borders Linked (STORK)
which will link the process of identification across the borders of 17 participating EU nations.
Tony Blair proposed the plan would protect UK citizens against identity theft.
It would later be revealed that to gather funds for the National ID project,
the personal information of 44 million British residents would be sold to private companies.
Regardless, a 2005 Reuters report proved the technology may actually increase identity theft.
Jim Harper, director at CATO institutes information of policy studies declared:
"there is no practical way" of making the national ID fraud-proof.
Won't be long before they reach the shores of America.
They've already tried introducing them at both the borders of Mexico & Canada.
Europe has always been the case test, once new developments are implemented there,
and show positive results, not soon there after they are mandated here.
Bet your ass these cards will be used for the internet in the future,
this has already occurred in such countries as Dubai and Chinese countries such as Tibet.
By all means, citizens worldwide should resist the use of National ID's.
As Richard Esguerra of EFF has pointed out, the ID would most likely expand upon its purpose.
Such as using it to identify sex offenders, or criminals (which I wouldn't be against)
but how long until you go to the store, your card is swiped, and you are denied a purchase,
or worse arrested, because your card reveals you owe a debt to the offshore corporations
who fund and run this government?
why you should resist the national ID

In Delaware, where I live they are pimping the Real ID like it is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
I will NEVER get one. If I can’t fix the situation in my State, than I will be moving. If I can’t move far enough, I will go off the grid. It is a shame that I would have to do such a crazy thing to protect my privacy and stand for my principles.
The sad truth is, the vast majority of people are too wrapped up in themselves and their lives to care about the loss of freedoms, the waste in government, or the death of our constitutional republic.
Even those who have interest, are so mis-informed and brain washed from the corporate media machine that they simply squabble whatever left or right sided position the news they choose to watch tells them.
We are becoming a nation void of individual thought. Convenience has taken the place of research. Corporations and chains have taken over.
Never mind the fact that we have sent generations of our bravest young men and women to fight wars that make our citizens less secure, poorer, and hated around the world.
This country has lost its way. I just can’t believe that socialism and communism ideas are now the main stream thought.
What ever happened to self reliance?
Whatever happened to keeping the money you earn from your efforts?
Whatever happened to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness? Why has it become the governments job to play Robin Hood?
It makes me sick that my government takes money from me and then uses that money to go kill people in Iraq, Afghanistan, and all the other countries we are in “unofficially” .
It makes me sick that my neighbors and acquaintances can’t even research the people they vote for. How many people even know the names of some of the people they vote for an hour later?
Just vote the party line! Who has time to think for themselves, it just hurts to much. ouch! Brain Pain
Just a load of crap. Why is it so hard to see that if Grandma was never taxed on her income, she would have enough money to buy her own medicine, or if you were not taxed on your income perhaps you could buy it for her.
I know I went off topic a bit there but when the rant starts it can’t stop easily.
The Real ID does drive me nuts. I actually have written an article about it here, http://www.upfordebate.us/story.php?title=real-id-act–national-id-and-the-end-of-privacy-1
I think it is important to get the word out about this as much as possible. Most people have just bought the propaganda the State has put on them without even questioning why? Or if this is something considered American in values.
I have not yet given up on my country, though that day may come. I will fight as long as a fight is to be had. Unfortunately, they are winning, even as they are exposed. I feel we have a legitimate chance to make corrections in the coming years. I think within a decade we should know which way our country will go.
Until then I will do everything I can to thwart the Real ID Act and stand up for my friends and neighbors even as they mock me for standing on the side of liberty and freedom.
The true patriot always stands alone at first.
