TANFORD, Calif. - President Obama is planning to hand the U.S. Commerce Department authority over a forthcoming cybersecurity effort to create an Internet ID for Americans, a White House official said here today.

It's "the absolute perfect spot in the U.S. government" to centralize efforts toward creating an "identity ecosystem" for the Internet, White House Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt said.

He will be a one-term President without a doubt. What these guys don't get is no-one is going to accept a national ID card, internet ID card etc as too many link this with rfid chips and 666 - there is too much awareness of the Biblical "mark of the beast" so anytime they try to introduce this there will be massive backlash - the Christians are looking everywhere for this as a sign of the end times and it is the one thing they won't accept.

It is pretty much already there,

Well it IS there if you call a

MAC address an "identifier: in this case (which it is)

It is getting to a point where you can not really hide much longer without sophisticated techniques.

peace
Each time a person stands for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he or she sends forth a tiny ripple of hope. And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance. Few are willing to embrace the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential vital quality for those who seek to change a world that yields most painfully to change. [Robert F. Kennedy]

IP can be dynamic, also there are proxies

And internet ID would rob me of my anonymity, I only used a gun once, but if this kind of measure passes, and we all get assigned a "social security number", sign me up for whatever revolutionary movement opposes this, I will rather give my life away then my anonymity.

no, it will be a new Government issued ID, a permission ID if you will, to use the internet...you will have to apply for it giving all your personal information and they will charge $5.00 at a minimum to get it....

probably a yearly ID purchase so they get your updated personal info each year.....

soon, we will have to get a permit to eat breakfast each morning.

This is a terrible idea. If someone got a hold of your ID, they would have access to everything of yours online. This is why it is GOOD to have multiple passwords. What is wrong with these people!?

Horseshit. With all of the truly ghastly destruction of freedom that every damn American has taken without a whimper, you are expecting someone to believe that you would finally stand up to oppose this? Because someone could find out who you were, you couldn't hide anymore, you would have to take responsibility for what you wrote?

"If I can't hide, if anyone would know my name when I said something, then I would really, really, really fight back then, honest!"

Again, horseshit.

Re: CBS News: Obama Eyeing Internet ID for Americans
The databases have been built and the government needs to steramline the process.
With our Internet ID, Homeland Security will be able to track us, and everything we do will be entered into our individual databases.
This is part of "The War On Terror".
Every American should step foward and help our government fight those who would harm The Homeland.
Seriously.

A related question to Americans concerning this quote:
Details about the "trusted identity" project are unusually scarce. Last year's announcement referenced a possible forthcoming smart card or digital certificate that would prove that online users are who they say they are. These digital IDs would be offered to consumers by online vendors for financial transactions.
 Quoting: [link to www.cbsnews.com]


In the Netherlands some of our banks hand out an identifier. It's a card-reader in which we put our banking-card and press in our pin number sometimes in combination with a piece of software on our computer in order to create a secure connection.

Another bank allows us to just login with our username and password but if we want to make a transaction we receive a SMS with a pin-number to confirm the transaction.

Do you have a similar system to identify yourself?

Meanwhile they buy their kids smartphones which are the mark of the beast if there ever was one. Visa is right now setting up 12000 payment terminals in stores across the usa which allow you to pay with your phone, which will hold your financial information and transmit it like a wireless debit card. And there are commercials right now hyping the idea of smartphones being your vehicle key and ignition device.

It's the fucking cellphones. Look around you people are hypnotized, living their lives in their phones basically and hardly ever looking UP.

Get ready to start using pamphlets to communicate by leaving information by hard copy paper in places for people to read.

Leave info. in magazines in waiting rooms...this works great!

Use your imagination for places to leave information for people.
