Oh just another eight hundred page “bipartisan” bill that nobody will read, mainstream media will refuse to cover, and that will merely further destroy any remnants of freedom left in these United States. Never forget the George Carlin quote on bipartisanship:
“Bipartisan usually means that a larger-than-usual deception is being carried out.”
From Wired:
The immigration reform measure the Senate began debating yesterday would create a national biometric database of virtually every adult in the U.S., in what privacy groups fear could be the first step to a ubiquitous national identification system.
Buried in the more than 800 pages of the bipartisan legislation (.pdf) is language mandating the creation of the innocuously-named “photo tool,” a massive federal database administered by the Department of Homeland Security and containing names, ages, Social Security numbers and photographs of everyone in the country with a driver’s license or other state-issued photo ID.

I guess "I told you so" would be too mild an admonition for all the sheep and yes-men who think our Constitution and individual liberties are meaningless anymore. Drones and public cameras taking and storing every citizen's photograph (99% of whom are innocent, yet still get to be in the "possible terrorist" database) is now a reality. One more generation of non-thinking, ignorant of history, dumber than rocks, "everything is okay" goofballs and our country will be the most surveilled, most controlled and monitored civilization in the history of the planet. And remember, with the Orwellian police state, comes unlimited power and authority for those in charge. Keep cheering....
ReplyDeletePitiful if it's passed. Write again to Cardin and Mikulski and receive their thank you but f__k you letter that explains how they know how this will help. Write Andy, and he will answer with a receptive response, hopefully in the people's favor. God help us all.
