news.com.com — Starting three years from now, if you live or work in the United States, you'll need a federally approved ID card to travel on an airplane, open a bank account, collect Social Security payments, or take advantage of nearly any government service. Practically speaking, your driver's license likely will have to be reissued to meet federal standards.

Spartansblade.... Outstanding information. I was aware of some of the details of the US Patriot act when it was first introduced with my role as a former banker for a large bank. However, our employer required us to read only a short snippet of information. When I asked to read the details of the act I simply though they had such law readily available for us to quickly read. Our management team was never given the full act so I requested the details and read in a future meeting. As a small group of bankers within a large company I read highlights from the act and we were all amazed with our findings. When we began to ask questions... Our management team at Wachovia Bank did not want to support our full disclosure on bank time. We should all be concerned with the points you have raised. The most important issue is hard to determine but the REAL ID ACT must be repealed. I did listen to an interview from the founder of <a class="user" href="http://www.spychips.com">http://www.spychips.com</a> the site provides great information. --

"We the people" must repeal the REAL ID ACT. Our own government is in the news of recent proudly talking about hiring terrorist in other nations to conduct terror in Iran and Syria. Keep in mind this comes from our own VP. If our own nation will stoop to such a low then think of what the wrong president or group of so called "Independent Panel" may recommend in the future from stored information from this act. Keep in mind they don't consider this as stored information but as stored Intel..... I think we are living in a time where such concerns are relevant. I have found one presidential candidate who opposes the Real Id Act his name is Dr. Ron Paul. Take the time to get to know more about Dr. Paul. --

Now isn't that a sign of the times. Has anyone read a newspaper from the 1800s? Those men were smart as hell. One would need a dictionary by their side just to get thru a story. Those who built our country had a thirst for knowledge that can be compared only to modern mans thirst for excess. At one time our country thrived on debate and discussing issues everywhere they went. Going to the pub wasn't just to get drunk but to meet and to discuss current events. Places like Digg should remind us of our heritage and inspire us all to debate and discuss issues once again. I find it a true sign of the times when an individual would "Digg" me down because I attempted to share TO MUCH information. I apologies. Next time I post I will keep in mind those whose literary experience ended when they couldn't get thru a Dick and Jane children's book.That being said, darel99, thank you for your comment. I hoped that someone would appreciate the time I took to put the information together. Since I helped one person I feel that my time was absolutely justified.

@spartansbladeI concur with all you have said and then some. Thank you for all you are doing to fight the good fight against the root problem. I especially thank you for encouraging as many people as possible to watch the complete "The Money Masters" documentary, that is probably the ultimate single source of information on a topic of critical importance to any citizen of any nation. There is almost universal understanding of the importance of Money in the lives of everyone, you do not have to be long in this world to grasp that inescapable fact, but how many have even the barest of understanding regarding the history of Money or our Monetary System. Who is easier to control, the married couple with several children, a mortgage, credit card debt, car payment, med ins/bills, dental ins/bills, taxes, etc., etc. that take almost all of the total household income just to make ends meet or a single person with no debt, money saved and no family to support? I know you know the answer to that and that it is only one aspect of a total control scheme but it is a simple illustration of the major part/root of the problem. That is something to which I think more people can more readily relate and is helpful for them as an aid in understanding the same concept on the macro level, i.e. the national and world central banking debt control scheme with which we are both familiar. It is interesting to note the concurrent high level and escalating pressure on both individuals and governments to fund an ever expanding list of minimum, basic "necessities" real, implanted(via direct and indirect advertising/public relations) and created out of nothing(for instance to battle enemies of our on creation) which has occurred at an accelerating rate over the past century and the predictable alarming and worsening level of debt load carried by both individuals and nations alike. I believe the per capita or household savings rate is currently around -1.5% i.e. spending more than we make.As usual I've gone on too long but as you also know it is an unfortunate fact that in order to even begin to understand new developments in matters of critical importance you must have a large volume of background knowledge.I must add in closing two short comments. Re: the quotes above. You choose some great ones among an ample supply of similar that make the aims of that crowd crystal clear. It is sobering to realize that merely by their boldness in making such statements publicly they signal two things, they are certain of achieving their aims and that they are certain the majority is too preoccupied and/or too ignorant to see what they are doing until it is far too late. Re: the FBI flyer. I have seen that before and while I am not certain it is authentic I would not be the least surprised if it was nor does it matter if it is or not because the proven evidence of where this is going is overwhelming. If it is true I particularly find it telling that we have come to the point already that referencing the Constitution is considered the actions of a "terrorist".
