IAHF List: See the great article by Tom De Weese that denounces the National ID card below my comments. Please join me in forwarding the message below to House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, along with all morons in Congress who think like him including congresswoman Mary Bono.

We already know who the REAL terrorists are: its Attorney General Ashcroft and all members of Con-gress who ignored the FBI agents who knew 911 was going to happen, and who ignored David Schippers, the attorney who impeached Clinton and who these FBI agents turned to when they were ignored by Ashcroft and the other scum in the so called "Justice Department".http://www.infowars.com/transcript_schippers.html Terrorists? Ashcroft is a terrorist. Bush is a terrorist. Gephardt is a terrorist and so are MOST members of con-gress. I say we microchip THEIR butts so we can track these conniving double dealing bastards by satellite so we can tell where THEY are at all times, its the only way to properly monitor their crimes against humanity because they are CLEARLY running amok- they're trying to MANIPULATEus into WW3, they ignored the HONEST FBI agents working with Schippers who tried to WARN US of the 911 attack, and the people of the world must unite against THEM!!!

They're trying to destroy our nation, collapse the dollar , empower the UN and usher in a hemispheric wide currency called the "Amero" under the FTAA. http://www.iahf.com/usa/20010827.html

Via FTAA harmonization they're trying to destroy our dietary supplement laws and force harmonization to Codex standards. Codex has been totally incorporated into the Free Trade Area of the Americas Agreement : http://www.ftaa-alca.org/ftaadraft/eng/ngage_2.asp#s5

The lemmings are crying out for "protection" and its only going to get worse, they're going to KEEP ON doing 911 type attacks on us because their motto is Ordo Ab Chao- "Out of Chaos Comes Order". Yeah- THEY create the chaos in order to IMPOSE so called ORDER!

Liberty is Not a Plastic ID Card


By Tom DeWeese

Every time I write articles opposing the implementation of a national ID card, I get letters from supposedly conservative, patriotic Americans, boldly telling me that I am off-base on the issue. Previously they have told me that an ID card is the only answer to stop illegal immigration. Now they add a new verse, saying it will stop terrorism. How pathetic do you have to be to believe that giving up your liberty for a plastic card is the answer?

There is no time ever when Americans should surrender their liberty to the constant surveillance by the government. It is quintessentially un-American. It is anti-American. To the person who wrote to me saying, "if it will save one life, protect one family, stop one act of violence, then I fully support a national ID card," let me ask, have you ever thought for even one minute how a national ID would provide that protection?

Implementation of a national ID would require that the government set up a massive data bank, containing every single detail about you, from school records to medical records, to employment and financial records. Now the government knows about you. What do they know about the terrorists? Nothing! Well, nothing except the false information they have been able to place in the data bank. Cards can be forged. Security or airline personnel can be bribed. Government workers can be careless. Terrorists will not be affected by a national ID card. You will.

George Orwell once wrote, "Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and to give an appearance of solidity to 'pure wind.'" For several years certain politicians have tried to enforce the idea of a national ID on the American public. In 1996, they almost succeeded by quietly placing special language in three separate bills including the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act, The Welfare Reform Act and the Kennedy-Kassenbaum Medical Reform Act.

Each of these bills contained identical language that established the Social Security number as a common identifier number to be used in state driver licenses. The bills were all passed into law and were to go into effect in October 2000. The laws were repealed by language provided by Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama. Since then, those same politicians have been trying to find new ways to create the ID again.

Now many in Congress, led by House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, are using the politics of fear to again push for the establishment of a national ID card. They tell us we live in a "new world" of terror, that we must all learn to sacrifice just a little bit, to survive. Instead of pursuing policies that would eliminate the threat of terrorism, they are seeking ways to build the power of government.

These policies would include massive use of surveillance cameras, ID cards, profiling, wiretapping, financial snooping, eavesdropping on email, facial imaging scans in public places. All of this information would go into federal data banks of records created for every single American. With it, the government could trace our whereabouts, monitor our travel, look into our personal correspondence, examine our financial records and medical records, profile our spending habits and have the ability to keep us in its control.

Making prisoners of all Americans will do very little to track down terrorists who know how to hide from the system and forge documents. All of this information would be under the control of government bureaucrats.

Today, of the information now in federal data banks, more than thirty percent is known to be incorrect. How does it get corrected? Who do we turn to with a problem? Such mistakes can cost us jobs and bank loans. Have you ever tried to get a government agency to try to confront a problem? Have you ever felt like a number? Have you ever felt less than human? Then what will change when all of us are required to carry a national ID card to prove we are who we say we are? The only ones who can beat this system are criminals. It will do nothing to protect us from terrorists.

We do not live in a "new world." We have an avowed enemy that has threatened us for years and we ignored him. He has struck. He has killed. And he has made us angry and afraid. Our only solution is to eliminate him. Forcing Americans to carry around National ID cards will turn us into the pawns of government. It is the ultimate offense to the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.

If we intend to surrender our way of life, our freedoms, to some fanatics, then we have no right to carry the banner of our founding fathers. They would be appalled at this repulsive display of cowardice. They created our government for one purpose, to protect our freedoms, not to control our lives.

Stand up and fight, Americans. Fight for your liberty and the special gifts it has given you. Get mad at anyone who would threaten it, including government bureaucrats and politicians. Never surrender your freedom, too many have died to make sure you still have it.
