The writer is absolutely correct:

.....If sufficient numbers of people do not begin now to object to universal demands for submission of state-issued IDs ****as a condition for services****, there will soon come a time when all activity will necessitate possession of some form of chip-imbedded ID, and there will be no viable opportunity for objection.....

Supposedly, and by law, it is wrong to make submission of one's Social Security number a requirement in order to obtain basic services or to do routine business such as banking or purchasing goods, or, in some states, to obtain a driver's license.

Yet this *requirement*, supposedly illegal, is very common, especially in urban areas. Service is simply refused unless one produces the number.

Interesting that one can't even GET an "official" Photo ID without submission of one's Social Security number.

The trajectory is rapidly moving toward continuous tracking of every individual in this country - that is very obvious at this point.

The North Carolina student was interviewed. Someone had told the Secret Service that she had dangerous posters in her apartment, so they investigated. One poster showed all the hangings Bush had OKed in Texas while he was governor.
