The Network's "Where Do They Stand?" Page Makes No Mention of Dreaded Card, While They Host The Interview Where Kerry Brought It Up
by Dave Sanders
The national media is once again proving their bias and complicity, in the political schemes of those conspiring greater control over the American People, from the left. This latest instance comes from MSNBC. MSNBC is now continuing the stealth campaign of the Kerry camp on the subject of national ID cards. First reported in the TAN story KERRY PLANS NATIONAL ID CARD FOR ALL AMERICANS (see http://forums.prospero.com/n/mb/display.asp?webtag=kr-aan_forum&msg=1846.1 ), it was revealed that NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw suddenly brought up the subject of a national ID card when it had been off the public radar for well over a year. That interview, in both a video and transcript format, is located at the MSNBC web site (see http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/5489537/ ).
In the interview transcript, Brokaw's question on the national ID card, which Kerry then stated his support for, was the third question asked, yet on the web page where MSNBC discusses the candidates' stand on Homeland Security issues, there's not one mention of it at all.
Political analyst Thurman Boyd Hayes says that he's not surprised. "The Kerry campaign has not brought the issue up at all, in fact, the Brokaw interview is the only place that I know of where it appears and it's not been mentioned since. The fact that MSNBC, having that information, would then deem it appropriate to leave it out of its web page on campaign issues, after it was brought up by one of their own, means that neither MSNBC or John Kerry can be trusted. The American People have expressed their displeasure over the idea and if more swing voters knew the truth of this I think it would swing their votes against Kerry, which is why this has been kept so quiet. The whole security issue with the idea is completely unwarranted - it will do nothing to stop terrorism - anyone saying otherwise is a liar or doesn't know what he's talking about. The real question is, what does John Kerry plan to do to Americans in his first term that he needs to be able to monitor our every action through society."
"What's more", he continued, "those that think that everything we do is tracked now are the real dummies that fall for these schemes. My driver's license doesn't have biometric information about me on it - a national ID card would. I use my credit cards selectively, so there is no useful information available about my buying habits or the places I visit. I don't use ATMs so that's another information gathering tool that I delete from the spectrum. For those people who are hooked into those systems, a national ID card could be the link where suddenly the database for your card becomes the holding center for data on all your other information. Then in one place, everything about you is stored from your traffic tickets, online purchases, everything you buy with a credit card, a discount card, loans, health, everything."
Security expert Doug Edgerton agrees. "Depending on how 'smart' they make these cards, they could have readers posted around the country that could detect when the card goes by like they do with toll road cards. Once they do that, the whole country will be in virtual lock-down, especially since the data could be linked to a GPS system without the card having a GPS transponder in it. The readers could have them or just send the data to a computer that then relays it to a satellite for download. Suddenly, Big Brother has you under total control. But of course foreigners wouldn't have the card and so they are actually the ones that would most benefit from doing this. The national ID card won't stop terrorism - it will mean the terrorists win."
"For the people, like Kerry," Hayes says, "that use the excuse that supposedly all this information on us exists already, then I say that if it does, then why do you need a national ID card? The obvious answer is that those that are calling for it want to do something far more reaching and extensive than they can now. And I'm sorry, but people that think the Patriot Act is worse are just kidding themselves. It is impossible for the Patriot Act be used against every single American, especially the way things are now. With a national ID card, every single American is effected and it would suddenly make it possible to use the Patriot Act against every single American.
"Again, what does John Kerry have planned for America that he needs us under electronic monitoring, like prisoners under house arrest in our own country? I personally, don't want to find out."
