Why I use Clipmarks
Clipmarks is an excellent research tool, easier to communicate news quickly than composing emails, can be "Dugg", linked, etc., and is easier when wanting to cite sources of news information for blog posting. I used to literally print articles from the web, now I Clip them instead. Great tool.

POPS
UK Expands Total Citizen Surveillance
blueridge
by blueridge  9-16-2008    1
 The US tends to follow what the UK implements, and under the pretense of a "war on terrorism" the US has been following suit with little lag time. From REAL ID to the security merchandisers total camera surveillance in every state and municipality this fascism is being erected where "free citizens" are tagged, tracked, recorded, and watched like criminal suspects and the "democratic government" separates itself from and above the people. The article details yet even more: Local authorities have since adapted their own CCTV systems to capture licence plates on behalf of police, massively expanding the network of available cameras. Mobile cameras have been installed in patrol cars and unmarked vehicles parked by the side of roads. Police helicopters have been equipped with infrared cameras that can read licence plates from 610 metres (2,000ft).

REAL ID, A Real Threat to Gun Rights
blueridge
by blueridge  7-21-2008   
 Gunowners of America has stated the same, but this article shows how. Like the Social Security card, now used as a national identifier for non-related purposes, REAL ID would morf beyond its stated purpose (because the SSN is one of its central components).

 Liberty is gaining momentum, people are learning what this is really all about. Be sure your state legislature does the same and send them a copy of LA's bill. linked here.

POPS
The UK REAL ID Program
blueridge
by blueridge  6-24-2008   
 Same as the US but more blatant spying. The US REAL ID incorporates the social security number from which all financial, medical, credit and personal info can be data-mined easily. Here the UK admits open collection of a broad amount of information. The UK does not have a bill of rights and the US acts like it does not. "Membership has its privileges" could be their slogan, without this you cannot "buy or sell".

Alaska Becomes 9th State to Outlaw REAL ID
blueridge
by blueridge  6-1-2008   
 Tyrannical federal legislation sparked another Civil War against federal despotism, and the states are seceding from REAL ID continually, essentially using the doctrine of Nullification based upon the 10th amendment of the Constitution. The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. Any state that respects the Constitution and freedom for its citizens will do the same.

Minnesota REAL ID Showdown: Governor vs Legislature
blueridge
by blueridge  5-27-2008   
 In this very bias article by the newspaper the reader is left with an incorrect impression: Gov. Tim Pawlenty killed a bill to bar national identity card rules, but issued a conciliatory executive order. No, it is entirely dishonest to say the Governor "killed" the bill against REAL ID when they later inform the reader of this fact: A bill prohibiting Minnesota's compliance with the Real ID requirement passed last week by overwhelming veto-proof margins in both the House and the Senate. The Governor cannot "kill" a bill that the legislature can over-ride. This battle is not over, but its clear the governor is playing the sycophant, carefully, for the Dept of Homeland Tyranny: The executive order, he added, "will give us an opportunity to work with our federal partners and state legislators to resolve the valid concerns regarding this program."

POPS
Feds Want Employment Verification Plan
blueridge
by blueridge  5-18-2008   
 Feds would have to approve your employment using the Social(ist) Security number, the "mark" to be employed. Problem is it is no proof of citizenship as the "experts" claim in this article. Check for yourself: your birth certificate is not an accepted document by the SSA, but a drivers license is, and you can get a drivers license without being a citizen. But it is not that they are stupid. The fact is their are lying (like in REAL ID, which also requires SSN) to set this up.

REAL ID: 50 States' Citizens Free to Travel; Senators Grill Chertoff
blueridge
by blueridge  4-4-2008   
 This is a good analysis on REAL ID, as their is much posturing going on by the Dept. of Homeland Tyranny (aka Security) as to the results. Bottom line is the States rebelled, and the anti-Constitutional Department is compromising, but still pushing. May 11th was the deadline date, but it has been arbitrarily moved, and has no definitive standards. Chertoff's goal is to feign compromise while coercing and gaining increasing conformity. The freedom to travel as free citizens should not, and legally cannot, be impeded. To set up a new criteria for just who will be treated like "free citizens", instead of criminal suspects, without probable cause or search warrant, on the basis of a national (i.e. federalized) ID card is unconstitutional.

Chertoff vs States on REAL ID; South Carolina May Sue Feds
blueridge
by blueridge  3-21-2008    2
 Showdown time on REAL ID. The official deadline is May 11th for states to file (beg) for extension from the Dept. of Homeland Tyranny. Montana got an extension without asking for one (still refusing to comply), five Senators request for all 50 states to be exempt from hassle, while Chertoff insists it is Congress that established the deadline (while it had no choice because REAL ID was passed under another bill, without debate). Chertoff is trying to gain compliance, arbitrarily, by compromises, so long as all states eventually comply. Tyranny will enter softly. The big news, and key precedent, that the Feds fear, is that South Carolina may file a lawsuit against them for treating South Carolinians like non-citizens. THIS IS WHAT EVERY STATE SHOULD DO.

Montana Governor to Feds: "Go to Hell" On REAL ID
blueridge
by blueridge  3-14-2008   
 While other governors are cowards and complying this governor is standing up for the Constitution, State's Rights, 4th amendment privacy and challenging what he called the "bluff" of the Federal government with its threats of "special treatment" for citizens whose states are rejecting REAL ID. This is a short, must-listen interview that every American needs to hear.

National Dragnet System Expanding for Surveillance
blueridge
by blueridge  3-7-2008   
 this is why state and local governments want your SSN number, drivers license and REAL ID, and the PATRIOT ACT mandated banks to collect SSN from every account holder, to track EVERYONE, AT ANYTIME.

Bi-Partisan Opposition in Pennsylvania to REAL ID Seeks to Block Implementation
blueridge
by blueridge  3-4-2008    1
 Pennsylvania also, like West Virginia, presently has bi-partisan legislation pending against REAL ID to prevent its implementation. As the article points out this unusual bi-partisan coalition is mirrored at the national level where groups as diverse as the ACLU and American Center for Law and Justice (as well as National Rifle Association) are all finding common ground in the Constitution to defend their rights to privacy and state's rights versus government intrusion. Any governor that does not see the strength and broadness of this movement, or is blind to what the Constitution limits government from doing, will probably find bipartisan opposition to their re-election as well. Note the legislative bills from Pennsylvania are linked in the clip below.

Non-REAL ID Citizens to be Treated Like Suspects
blueridge
by blueridge  2-27-2008   
 This "homegrown fascism" begins May 11th at an airport near you. After all, "membership has its privileges" and you must be a federally-approved citizen and accept the Federal "mark" to be treated like you are "free". The new extra-constitutional Dept. of Homeland Tyranny plans to "make an example" of the citizens of Maine and New Hampshire for their states' (absolutely justifiable) rejection of REAL ID. TSA will be their deployed mercenaries to harass law-abiding free citizens for their nullification of this federal legislation. There should be open and public protests and lawsuits filed to stop this second class citizen "handling". Both REAL ID and the Dept of Homeland Security should be rescinded and abolished, being contrary to the Constitution, if Americans expect to be free indeed.
