US adopts National ID: Homeland Security Now In charge of Regulations for

all US States Drivers Licenses and Birth Certificates

By: Jonathan Wheeler

 

 

In a chilling act more reminiscent of the now defunct Soviet Union or the

Nazi regime of Adolph

Hitler, the United States Congress passed legislation yesterday that

requires the States to

surrender their regulatory rights over drivers licenses and birth

certificates to The Department of

Homeland Security.

 

The massive US Intelligence Reform Bill weighed in at over 3,000 pages and

though unread by

individual Members of either the House or Senate nevertheless passed all of

the legislative hurdles

needed in order to become law President Bush lobbied hard for these

provisions, only objecting when Senator Sensenbrenner attempted to require

these same provisions for illegal aliens but which the President opposed.

This provision was dropped from the final bill.

 

Beginning in 2005, the Department of Homeland Security will issue new

uniformity regulations to the States requiring that all Drivers Licenses and

Birth Certificates meet minimal Federal Standards with regard to US citizen

information, including biometric security provisions.

 

Added to currently existing Federal Laws and Supreme Court rulings American

citizens when

born will be issued a Social Security Number that will be included on their

Birth Certificates, along with DNA biometric markers. All birth certificates

will also be registered in a Federal Government database maintained by the

Department of Homeland Security.

 

No child will be allowed enrollment to schools or be entitled to either

State of Federal Government benefits programs without first presenting a

certified Homeland Security

registered Birth Certificate .Drivers Licenses will also contain DNA

biometric markers and include the holders Social Security Number and be

required for receiving and applying for all State and Federal benefits

programs.

 

Previous Supreme Court rulings have also upheld State and Federal Law

Enforcement authorities

right to request Identification from any American citizen, for any reason

and at any time as not being violations of their, the citizens,

constitutionally protected rights. Major Banks and credit card companies

have applauded the adoption of a National ID system as being important to

counter fraud and increasing instances of identity theft. National ID cards

with biometric markers will eliminate them from having to issue Credit and

Debit cards, which for the first time in US history have surpassed the usage

of checks and cash.

 

Utilizing The Department of

Homeland Securities centralized federal database, Banks and credit card

companies will only require the presentation of a citizens Driver’s License

to make purchases as all of the persons financial information, including

credit and cash balances, will already be known in ~real-time~. (The

combining of Homeland Security and Banking databases on citizen’s balances

and purchases, along with their past and present purchasing information, has

been allowed under previous Federal Laws including the Patriot Act.)

 

Also included in this bill is a law to require The Department of Homeland

Security to establish a

separate ID system for citizens to use prior to boarding airplanes, and

which is eerily reminiscent

of the Soviet and Nazi regimes dreaded Internal Passport.

 

Never before in our history have the words of Benjamin Franklin been so

correct when he stated: " people willing to trade their freedom for temporary

security deserve neither and will lose both " .

 

Today, December 9, 2004 will be one of those moments in time that future

historians will look back on and pin point as being the day that the United

States of America, as it was founded by its

forefathers, ceased to exist.
