Real ID

The state attorney general says Montana will not seek an extension regarding the implementation of a national ID program.

"The Technocratic Age is slowly designing an every day more controlled society. The society will be dominated by an elite of persons free from traditional values (!) who will have no doubt in fulfilling their objectives by means of purged techniques with which they will influence the behavior of people and will control and watch the society in all details". "... it will become possible to exert a practically permanent watch on each citizen of the world". - Zbigniew Brzezinski, Illuminati and co-founder of Trilateral Commission

Who Loves Real ID? AOL, Microsoft and Yahoo Do.: "The federal Real ID Act doesn’t have many friends these days. Eighteen states have passed legislation rejecting the law, Congress has refused to put any money into implementing it, and just this week New York Gov. Elliot Spitzer announced he, not the Feds, would determine New York’s drivers license policy, with officials in his administration indicating the state might opt out of the Real ID program altogether.

HELENA - It corrects a mistake made by the U.S. Congress. That word Tuesday from supporters of a bill being discussed by Montana Senators to deny implementation of the Real I.D. Act.

With Real ID Act regulations lurking somewhere around the corner, secure ID management provider, Digimarc, is well-positioned to help states comply with the new requirements. The fact that the Oregon-based company is already in more than two-thirds of U.S. state driver license offices certainly gives it a leg up as well.

"We're in 32 U.S. driver license programs, five Canadian provinces and Mexico with its voter ID project," said Scott Carr, Digimarc's executive vice president.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 — Opposition among state officials is turning into an open revolt against a federal law calling for the creation of standardized driver’s licenses nationwide that are meant to be less vulnerable to fraud.

How nice that sounds to those not involved. Along with all the other important rights Americans are in line to lose from the merger of the U.S., Canada and Mexico is the effort being made currently to create a common “North American ID card.” It is being promoted as a “radio frequency identification devise” (RFID). It puts your life on a computer chip. Biometric identification chips can contain reams of personal information, including thumb prints, iris scans and personal health and education history, skills, work history, job evaluation, credit information, etc. This ID is being presented in the name of national security n it is our turn to be “tagged.”

How do you feel about the prospect of having to painstakingly document who you are next time you get a driver's license, and then do the same thing five years later when you have to renew? That's the burden that would be placed on Americans under the federal Real ID law passed in 2005 and scheduled to go into effect in 2008. The act requires - among many other things - that motor vehicle departments verify, copy and store both in paper and electronic form all the foundation documents such as the birth certificate and Social Security card required to prove your identity, and to keep those records for up to 10 years.
