The National Worker ID Card as an Evil Instrument of Control

by Robert Wenzel

First, here's Ron Paul to explain the card.

Ron Paul is absolutely correct in calling this card very bad.

Just keep in mind that the use of the card as a "worker" ID card is step one. Ron Paul correctly states that that the social security card was specifically not to be an ID card. That has certainly changed. Try getting a job or a drivers license without one.

Once a card is instituted into the system, card creep will begin. It will begin to be used for other purposes. First, what they will do is mark the easy ones, sex offenders and those found guilty of domestic violence. Then they'll do those who have a DUI charge. Then they'll do those who are charged with hate speech.Then they'll mark the cards of those who have been arrested for protesting. Then it will be those who have managed their employees in an "abusive" manner.

If you are a sex offender (and in many states this is broadly defined to include hookers), you will not be able to live in a neighborhood where there is any type of activities for children, regardless of how small the group and how well chaperoned. Which means you will end up in the dead end part of town. Try to turn your life around after getting marked like this, forget about it. You will be on the street as a hooker, until you die.

If you were married to a spouse, or went out on a date with someone, who was legally savvy and charged you with "domestic violence". It will be on your card. Want to get married again? The card will be checked and at a minimum you will have to take "domestic abuse" classes. Way down the road, with this mark, you may be denied the right to re-marry. Did you have one too many drinks a year ago? It will be on your card. Go into a bar, (we will all have to show our cards), and the bartender will give you two beers at most. You see if you are pulled over for a DUI after your card is marked, he's going to jail for 20 years. He's not going to take that chance. In other words, forget about worker Christmas parties for the rest of your life. Forget about unwinding with your co-workers at the end of the week. It will be to embarrassing, when you are cut off while you are still totally sober.
