NATIONAL ID Precursor To The |

Big Brother Wants National ID Cards System Planned For U.S. Now Being Tested In Iraq Ryan Olson The War on Freedom that was declared with the passage of an intelligence reform bill in December places our protected liberties into the crosshairs of the Big Brother. The bill calls for minimum federal standards for state driver licenses, a step toward a national identification card. Such licenses could be required at checkpoints on all major roads. In the future, we will be asked to prove our identity at toll road checkpoints using some form of a federal ID. What is a national ID card? Well in Fallujah, Iraq they require one biometric scan and a photo ID. The options of biometric scanning included blood sampling, retina scanning, or fingerprinting. It has been reported by main stream media that families returning to Fallujah who do not have the official ID card and are unable to properly identify themselves have been shot. Many constitutional republicans are strongly opposed to the Soviet socialization of this Republic of the United States of America. Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) released a statement on his House Web site denouncing the potential for a national ID card. "A national identification card, in whatever form it may take, will allow the federal government to inappropriately monitor the movements and transactions of every American," Paul said. "History shows that governments inevitably use such power in harmful ways. The 9-11 commission, whose recommendations underlie this bill, has called for internal screening points where identification will be demanded. Domestic travel restrictions are the hallmark of authoritarian states, not free nations. It is just a matter of time until those who refuse to carry the new licenses will be denied the ability to drive or board an airplane." Our government was established to protect our liberty and natural rights. My thoughts are summed up by one of Paul's remarks: "National ID cards are not proper in a free society...this is America, not Soviet Russia," Paul said. "The federal government should never be allowed to demand papers from American citizens, and it certainly has no constitutional authority to do so." Unconstitutional checkpoints that violate our 4th Amendment rights to be secure in our persons and papers are illegal and oppressive. If our government wants to remove our liberties, then we need to use our Constitution to protect our freedom. Any laws contrary to or not in line with the Constitution are null and void. We determined that a long time ago in Marbury v Madison. Call your state representatives and voice your opinion on this issue or it will be ignored. * * * * * * Bush plans to screen WHOLE U.S. POPULATION for mental illness...Sweeping initiative links diagnoses to treatment with specific drugs WHY Would Something Like This Be Done? MORE MENTAL ILLNESS = More patients taking drugs = GREATER PROFITS FOR THE DRUG COMPANIES! Condensed from an article by Jeanne Lenzer Bush's mental health initiative plans to integrate mentally ill patients fully into the community by providing "services in the community, rather than institutions," according to a March 2004 progress report entitled New Freedom Initiative (www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/newfreedom/toc-2004.html). While some praise the plan's goals, others say it protects the profits of drug companies at the expense of the public. Bush established the in April 2002 to conduct a "comprehensive study of the United States mental health service delivery system." The commission issued its recommendations in July 2003. Bush instructed more than 25 federal agencies to develop an implementation plan based on those recommendations. The president's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health found that "despite their prevalence, mental disorders often go undiagnosed" and recommended comprehensive mental health screening for "consumers of all ages," including preschool children. According to the commission, "Each year, young children are expelled from preschools and childcare facilities for severely disruptive behaviours and emotional disorders." Schools, wrote the commission, are in a "key position" to screen the 52 million students and 6 million adults who work at the schools. * * * * * * Condensed from an article by Kurt Nimmo "When the 109th Congress convenes in Washington in January, Senator Bill Frist, the first practicing physician elected to the Senate since 1928, plans to file a bill that would define 'political paranoia' as a mental disorder, paving the way for individuals who suffer from paranoid delusions regarding voter fraud, political persecution and FBI surveillance to receive Medicare reimbursement for any psychiatric treatment they receive," writes Hermione Slatkin, Medical Correspondent for the Swift Report. "Rick Smith, a spokesman for Senator Frist, says that the measure has a good chance of passing - something that can only help a portion of the population that is suffering significant distress." "If you're still convinced that President Bush won the election because Republicans figured out a way to hack into electronic voting machines, you've obviously got a problem," says Smith. "If we can figure out a way to ease your suffering by getting you into therapy and onto medication, that's something that we hope the entire 109th Congress will support." Characterizing political dissent as a form of mental illness is the hallmark of authoritarian government. In China, for instance, forensic psychiatrists label dissent "political lunacy" (see Jacob Sullum, Head Games: What are the rules for defining mental illness?) and in Soviet Russia political dissenters were routinely cosigned to mental hospitals. Nowadays, with modern pharmacology, mental hospitals are no longer required - the mental hospital is internalized through chemical intervention. No need for FEMA camps or "preventive detention" when we have a "medical armamentarium" of serotonin uptake inhibitors. All that is needed now is for Frist and the Republicans to devise a law defining "political paranoia" and determining that "political paranoiacs" are a threat to society. You will take your Paxil - or something far more debilitating - and by court order. Recall Bush's effort to screen the entire population for mental illness, i.e., the New Freedom Initiative. Bush's commission found that "despite their prevalence, mental disorders often go undiagnosed" and recommended comprehensive mental health screening for "consumers of all ages." Naturally, Frist and the Republicans are mostly concerned about the "political paranoia" form of mental illness, as the above news item indicates. As a "consumer," is it possible I am suffering from "political paranoia." Or is the whole thing a product of my feverish imagination and the result of reading too many news items on the web? |
