GPS, RFID Scheme Preps Grade Schoolers for Control Grid Future

Truth News

January 9, 2007
For some reason, the corporate media almost completely ignored this one, although the International Herald Tribune picked it up:
A tech company with ties to a school district plans to test a tracking system by putting computer chips on grade-schoolers’ backpacks, an experiment the ACLU ripped Monday as invasive and unnecessary.
The pilot program set to start next week in the Middletown school district would have about 80 children put tags containing radio frequency identification chips, or RFID chips, on their schoolbags. It would also equip two buses with global positioning systems, or GPS devices.
The school and parents will be able to track students on the bus, and the district hopes the program will improve busing efficiency, Superintendent Rosemarie Kraeger said. The devices are intended to record only when students enter and exit the bus, and the GPS would show where the bus was on it’s route.

Of course, more than an effective way to track and trace kids like beef cattle, this little program is designed to inculcate them while they are young and impressionable, so that a little later in life they will not complain all too mightily about implantable microchips, you know of the sort Mexican temporary workers will soon be getting.
Steven Brown, executive director of the Rhode Island chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, sent a letter to Kraeger and members of the school committee calling the plan “a solution in search of a problem” and saying the school district should already have procedures in place to track where its students are.
On Monday, he said the program raises enormous privacy and safety concerns.
“There’s absolutely no need to be tagging children,” he said. “We are not questioning the school district’s ability to use GPS to monitor school buses. But it’s a quantitative leap to monitor children themselves.”

Funny, that — “a solution in search of a problem.” In fact, according to our rulers, the problem is that we come and go, wander hither and yon, and more or less do as we please. In the future envisioned, we will all be microchipped, that is if we are interested in receiving our digital monetary credits and thus fending off starvation and exposure to the elements.
In Middletown, they are getting serious about conditioning the little ones for the future.
Consider it a public service, as a version of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World dystopia is right around the bend.Sphere: Related Content

One million immigrants seek US citizenship to vote: campaigners
AFPTuesday January 8, 2007
A record one million immigrants sought US citizenship last year so they could vote in the 2008 presidential election, overwhelming the processing offices, Hispanic groups said on Monday.
"Surpassing the goal of one million applications is a tremendous achievement," said Arturo Vargas, head of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials (NALEO).
Immigrants from Latin America represent the biggest ethnic minority in the United States -- some 45 million people. They could wield decisive weight in November's election, especially in largely Hispanic states such as Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado.
NALEO is one of several groups running a campaign to mobilize the Hispanic vote with the early presidential nominating contests underway and immigration a hot topic.
(Article continues below)
The US Citizenship and Immigration Services received 1.029 million applications for citizenship from immigrants between January and October 2007, the organizations say, citing official figures.

The figure -- a 10-year record, and twice the number for the previous year -- overwhelmed the offices processing the claims, causing a backlog.
The USCIS said in November it could not process all the applications at the normal speed.
"Our campaign is committed to building the support we need to clear this backlog," said Cecilia Munoz, vice-president of the biggest Hispanic group, the National Council of La Raza.
"They deserve the opportunity to have their voices heard on election day."
