It’s voluntary, but if you refuse to get one, doesn’t that automatically mean you’re a potential terrorist like those who “Opt out” at airports? You trust your government and corporations, don’t you? Don’t you!!! They’re doing it for the children!
White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt announced to the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research on Friday that President Obama intended to turn over development of a national Internet ID to the Commerce Department.

According to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, as reported by CNET: “We are not talking about a national ID card. We are not talking about a government-controlled system. What we are talking about is enhancing online security and privacy, and reducing and perhaps even eliminating the need to memorize a dozen passwords, through creation and use of more trusted digital identities.”We are talking about a government-controlled system. That is exactly what we are talking about. In fact, the presentation of what few facts exist is vague enough as to be good for nothing but worry. Here are the few facts on the program that are available:
- 1. The government will enable the creation of verified identities
- 2. The government will create an “Identity Ecosystem”
- 3. Getting a verified identity will be elective
- 4. Verizon, Google, PayPal, Symantec and AT&T support the program
- 5. A user would be able to use one login to sign in to all of their sites
So, a user would have one, “verified” ID, which would be known by the government, and a set of large corporations.
Yeah, sure, whatever.
They already have my info, including some biometric data, on my green card.
Why the hell do they need more? They don’t!
I can just see them carrying my complete genome and medical history too on the card.
They’ll do dick-all with it.
That would be too much like a health-care card.
Idiot Americans want a health-dont-care system.
32, Dallas,
Oh, so the fact that so many on the left CLEARLY expressed they wanted to kill people on the right has no bearing because none of them were “influential”? LOL.
No wonder you moon bats think the things people on the right say is trying to incite violence. That seems to be the only way you guys think.

It will only work if ecommerce merchants also require it for payment, or if websites require it for signup. You can be forced to get one of these cards, but you can’t be forced to use it if there as another legal option available,
Sounds like this would be a hackers dream.
Lot of paranoia here. The govt. already knows everthing about you. Don’t forget, we have a govt by the people, for the people and of the people. The government is us. Don’t be so afraid
# 41 dbquick You don’t know us like we do.

Woe to you O earth and sea, for the Devil sends the Beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short. Let him who hath understanding reckon the Number of the Beast, for it is a human number. Its number is six-hundred and sixty-six.
