Government will control people with identity cards.?

Question

I watched a film called Zeitgeist, which explains how the government plans to control everybody by giving them id cards, and then chips inserted in the future, it seems to be going that way already, with id cards being talked about, the film explained that the government highlights every disaster (and causes most of them) and most news reports are over hyped stories in order to make us believe our lives are in danger, so we all rush to have id cards, but do people agree with this, and are we already being controlled enough by our government, watch Zeitgeist you will not believe your eyes, you can get it on youtube. i must point out that i have never been raped shot kidnapped, stabbed, blown up, or hijacked on a plane when leaving my house and i do NOT need an identity card for government to trace my every move.

Answer 1

All goverments have a natural hunger for control, it is the responsibility of the citizenry to resist these efforts and not willingly cede civil liberties.

Didn't see the movie but the proposition that the govt. 'causes' most disasters sounds like hyperbole to me.

Answer 2

in Turkey ; everyone has to carry thier id card and l think this is good because atleast when a police asked you who you are , where you stay , where you live , or when a bad things happen to you like a big accident then might realize about things easily... its also usefull for keeping governement under control because you know thousand of immigrant people go everywhere and no id just pasport atleast when some of them make a big fault then its good for security services... if not then l am afraid the governement can not keep the people's safe.

Answer 3

Pretty soon taking a baby home from the hospital will be like adopting a pet, you cant have them till they insert the id chip in there neck.  What ever happened to FREEDOM.

Answer 4

Government can't even control the borders much less hundreds of millions of people inside the country. ID card or not. How does an ID card in your wallet allow the government to trace your every move? With chips or without.

Stop worrying about silly things and worry about the police state the USA is becoming, and worry about our slide into socialism at the hands of the democrats.

Answer 5

Sounds like an interesting film.  I'd like to view it.

I don't know what Country you are in?

However, in USA, they already have all / everything to track / 'control' everyone.

Social Security #s

Drivers' License #s

IRS Tax records

DMV records

Insurance Records

Medical Records

Credit Reports (TRW, etc)

Real Property Records

Student Loans

Credit Cards (what exactly is on that 'magnetic strip' on back??? - REALLY!)

Utilities

TV (cable/ satellite)

What ABOUT those satellites in the sky?

What ABOUT those planes / helio-COPTERS?

Bank accounts

Cell phone

COMPUTER

FingerPrinting for certain jobs

The list goes on and on and on...

...the grocer...(most) entice you to get one of their "cards" - without it, you cannot get the "members' sale price" - everything is itemized, dated, & your info goes into a 'little machine'!

I wouldn't get excited about it anymore...'they' have all needed these days.

I am 'QUITE POSITIVELY CERTAIN' that there is even more than one can imagine, been going on for many years...to track anyone.

The minute a baby is born...footprints / handprints taken...(as well as tons of info from parents!).

--------------------------

And yes, the media ('news') play a big role in all this, too!

Do yourself a big favor and just don't dwell on it.  You probably are already 'history', & there's not a thing you can do about it.

Do NOT believe everything you hear on news...a lot of propaganda and hype - for one reason or another....

Just realize the 'news people' are everyday common people working an everyday job...which means they have to come up with a 'story',,,but MUST attract attention, AND fit guidelines.  (IF they can't perform, they will lose their jobs - just like any other company would do to an employee!)

Turn off TV / Computer / newsPRINT, and relax and enjoy life as best you can!

(Don't worry about the future I.D. / 'chip'...they already 'gotcha'.)

P.S.:  I'd really like to see the film!!!

Answer 6

Governments need to 'control' people by enforcing just laws.

There is, however, a growing preoccupation on their part with what would constitute a danger to civil society. And because of this, governments feel they have a duty to protect themselves and the populace from dangerous people, by snooping into the personal data of individuals.

This is where they overstep their bounds.

I would not worry about it, unless you are up to something

criminal.

Most of humanity is too boringly normal and law abiding

for governments to be interested in them.

It is a bit conceited to think that we are so important that our government tracks our movements. They would need to employ too many people and it would cost too much to be feasible.

Answer 7

You answered your own question in your details "it seems to be going that way already, with id cards being talked about".

If people think national ID is about controlling immigration and protecting us from terrorism, they are simply not thinking it through.

1984 is upon is.  It is not too late to stop national ID, but after it is fully implemented there will be no turning back.  That is especially so after HR1955 becomes law giving the government the right to monitor ALL of our internet activity.

If we don't wake up while this is still a bad dream, we will eventually wake up to find ourselves living a nightmare.

Look up action groups to stop real ID, and participate!
