Who Could Object To Such A Thing?


Only violent extremists, that's for sure.

Obama's Commerce Department to create 'Internet ID' for all Americans

It's for the children, don't you know.

    It would have nipped THIS sort of thing in the bud.
    When would we be celebrating the queen's birthday, again?

    The private sector already has VeriSign, Thawte, Comodo and other Internet ID verification service companies, for those wanting secure transactions on line and access to adult-content websites. I think they usually use a verified credit card for identity verification, though, not your SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.
    A Google search found an article about Visa and Mastercard wanting a higher standard. The bankers again.

    This article is full of propaganda.

    This system will not be abused. It's not government control.

    Yeah.

    Think Freenet, people. Think Tor.

    FreeFor bloggers should plan on contingencies. I am.

    Resist.

    Another prime example of how terrified the Gov. and PTB are of the populous.

    It just drives them nuts that they dont have a see all, know all handle on the daily going on of the citizenry.

    Voluntary, my ass. This screams mission creep if I have ever seen it.

    The one part in this article that they realy got right is,

    "The government cannot create that identity infrastructure," Dempsey said. "If it tried to, it wouldn't be trusted."

    Not much I can add to that staitment.

    Supposition:

    Should we lose contact with the blogs, It will likely be due to programs such as this and other Obogov initiatives.

    Proposition:

    Such loss of contact be considered Prima Facie Causus Belli. This would necessitate the onset of condition feral.
