Diane Feinstein, "Hitler's Sister"
Judge for yourself, based on her push for the national I.D.!
"Ich Bin Ein Tyrant!"
In September of 1996, President Clinton signed into law the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. Buried at approximately page 650 of the new national Defense Bill, also known as Public Law 104-208, Part B, Title IV, the American public was given a national ID card. With no fanfare, no publicity and no scrutiny, the bill easily avoided the watchful eyes of even its most aggressive opponents. Now in 2005, before the 10-year deadline imposed by this law, we find we have been fitted with the shackles of a national ID card, passed in secret in the middle of the night by people who lust for total control. Dianne Feinstein has been the biggest proponent of National ID since 1995 because in this scheme she sees the tool that will win her war on your freedoms, and enable gun confiscation laws to become a reality. .
Another tool for gun confiscation and identifying those who would resist giving up their firearms is the Compas software profiling system. Orwellian stuff!

The 1996 law not only mandates a national ID card, but how it is to be used. In Section 401-403, pilot programs have been initiated by the US Attorney General, one of which is the Machine Readable Document Pilot Program. In this particular program, employers would have to procure a document reader linked to the federal government's Social Security Administration in order to have the potential employee swipe their new driver's license/national ID card through the reader. Then, it would be up to the federal government to either approve or disapprove the applicant for employment.
Section 326 and 327 provide $5,000,000 per year grants to each state participating in any of the three pilot programs. The money has been allocated through the Criminal Alien Tracking Center and is called the Criminal Alien Identification System. The automated identification system, which is to be used by Federal, State, and local law enforcement and will provide for recording of fingerprints of aliens previously arrested and removed. The grants run from fiscal years 1997 through 2001.
Additionally, Section 656 of the new law states that after October 1, 2000, Federal agencies may only accept as proof of identity driver's licenses that conform to standards developed by the Secretary of the Treasury, after consultation with state motor vehicle officials and the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators. The AAMVA sees digital fingerprinting as the best way to go in driver's license identifiers.
Fearing that all Americans were about to be digitally tattooed under the government's paranoiac guise of catching everything from aliens to dead beat dads, Congressman Dick Armey (R-TX) was one of the first to voice his opinion. Armey called the move "..An abomination and wholly at odds with the American tradition of individual freedom". Senator Spencer Abraham (R-MI) joined Armey in signing a letter denouncing the computer registry and tracking system and Jack Kemp announced in the New York Times that this was, an anti-privacy, anti-business and anti-American approach and that it was no way to run immigration policy. Of course, all this was said before the bills were snuck through in the last defense bill. There is a possibility at this time, they don't even know the proposed legislation became law.
For the first time in American history and reminiscent of Communist countries, our government NOW has the ability to grant approval before a private company enters into private employment contracts with private citizens. Because of the nature of the employment system alone, personal information would be accessible to local agencies and anyone who even claims to be an employer. The government will have comprehensive files of all American citizen's names, dates of birth, place of birth, mother's maiden names, Social Security numbers, gender, race, driving records, child support payments, divorce status, hair color, eye color, height, weight, and anything else they may dream up in the future.
Some of the specific police-state tools that are already being incorporated into the new national ID card system is "scales of risk" among all citizens for:
* Non-Compliance
* Evasion
* Attitudes toward: government, society, religion, etc.
* Firearms ownership
* Criminal Personality: willingness to ignore laws or resist law enforcement [Regardless of the constitutionality of such laws]
* Known Associates
* Financial Problems
* Educational status, IQ rating
* Residential Instability / homelessness / vagrancy
On May 10, 1995, a hearing was held by the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration entitled "Verification of Applicant Identity for the Purposes of Employment and Public Assistance". The hearing was chaired by Senator Alan Simpson (R-WY) and attended by Senators Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and John Kyl (R-AZ). Robert Razor of the Secret Service Financial Crimes Division gave the Subcommittee an explanation of the emerging biometric technological role in personal identification. He said, The use of biometrics is the means by which an individual may be conclusively identified. There are two types of biometric identifiers: physical and behavioral characteristics. Physiological biometrics include facial features, hand geometry, retinal and iris patterns, DNA, and fingerprints. Behavioral characteristics include voice characteristics and signature analysis.
Now the people of America not only must have digital tattoos on their driver's licenses, we must also give information to the government when boarding commercial aircraft, called personality profiles, along with a government ID card. Of course, this guise is in order to catch some would-be terrorist. Dianne Feinstein, author of the national ID law, explained in a Capitol Hill magazine that it was her intention to see Congress immediately implement a national identity system where every American is required to carry a card with a magnetic strip on it which the bearer's unique voice, retina pattern, or fingerprint is digitally encoded. She also stated that fifteen years ago, they would have torn the building down. We probably would have if we had known about it, and We the People might yet do something; time will tell.
Well, Dianne, you got what you have wanted for the past 25 years. Now I hope you rot in Hell for it, as many Americans will also hope, soon.

QUOTES:
"Our nation's borders have become a sieve. This bill will strengthen our counter-terrorism efforts by connecting law enforcement together with a centralized 'lookout' database, upgrade technologies used to prevent fraud and illegal entry, and impose new restrictions on student visas to prevent misuse of the program by those who would do this nation harm"

In an interview with the Mercury News on Tuesday night, Ellison, the chairman and CEO of Oracle, said he met with U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and officials at the CIA and FBI in Washington, D.C., over the past week to discuss the idea. U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has endorsed it, other tech executives have jumped on board and even some prominent civil libertarians have said the idea is worth pursuing.

"One of the most memorable symbols of Nazi-style fascism was the individual identity card, something ardently sought by many bureaucrats and politicians. And on the most prominent anti-gun professed liberals in the Senate, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) has been one of the principle advocates of the universal identity card in the US. She has also been an advocate for a whole bushel of legislation which intrudes on the rights and freedoms of individuals, including expanded wiretapping, limits on "habeas corpus" appeals, and expanded authority for federal law enforcement agencies. The ID card, frequently identified as the infamous "papieren" of Gestapo agents in Nazi Germany, has been one of the most obvious symbols of fascism in this century, and has come under fire not just among gunowner activists but among all genuine civil libertarians."
