UK ID Card Scheme Has Not Been Defeated

Deja vu as mainstream media announces the demise of the identity card scheme for the umpteenth time

“To see what is in front of one’s nose needs a constant struggle.” - George Orwell.

Headlines everywhere announced yesterday that the British government has been defeated on ID cards, and that a great victory has been won for civil liberties. The problem is that we have heard this several times before and it is simply not true.

A batch of typical headlines follows:

UK dumps plans for compulsory ID cards

ID card plan climbdown is a victory for commonsense

Last rites for ID cards read by Johnson

The end of ID cards?

However, if you read further than two paragraphs into the articles you discover the truth of the matter.

“The announcement means that the only people for whom it will be compulsory to have an identity card will be foreign citizens. However, the Government is to press ahead with creating a national identity register that, from 2011-12, will include the details of everyone who applies for a passport.” reports the London Times.

Next week will also see a debate on legislation that will seek to make it an offence to withhold details of a change of address or name from the government’s register.

Indeed, the government is actually accelerating the roll-out of identity cards in the UK.

As we have constantly highlighted, the threat is not the actual ID card itself, but the biometric database.

In essence, nothing has changed, the cards will still be introduced and the identity register will go ahead as planned.

The mainstream media began to promulgate the headlines yesterday after jumping on the comments of the new Home Secretary, Alan Johnson, who said that ID cards “will never be compulsory” for British citizens.

However, Johnson also said “There will be significant benefits to individuals from holding an identity card, which will become the most convenient, secure and affordable way of asserting identity in everyday life.”

This is key. Yes, the card will not be compulsory, you will have a choice. However, as soon as cash machines, supermarket checkouts and other everyday items are linked in with the ID card database, it will become virtually impossible to live without one.

Furthermore, if you wish to hold a passport, which you need in order to travel anywhere beyond the border, you will have to be entered into the ID database.

The government never openly admitted to the compulsory nature of the ID scheme in the first instance anyway. It was only via suppressed Whitehall papers, released under the Freedom of Information Act, that the agenda for compulsory uptake was ever discovered.

The government has been caught lying and misleading on the ID issue so frequently that it is now clear that anything they say about it cannot be trusted and is usually the exact opposite of the reality of the situation.

If this current defeat of the ID scheme all feels familiar, it’s because it is, this has all happened before, several times.

In January 2006, headlines around the country announced that ID cards had been defeated in The House of Lords.

In reality, the Lords simply held off the compulsory element of the scheme by voting for an amendment requiring a separate Act of Parliament be passed to make this so.

In the months that followed, the issue went back and fourth between the House of Commons and the House of Lords and was “defeated” no less than five times.

Now here we are again, three years down the line having the same endless debate.

It is clear that ID cards and the national biometric Database are part of a long term agenda that has been mapped out into the distant future by influential powerbrokers that will always hold sway with the government in the UK, whichever party it is represented by.

As proven time and time again by history, the attempt to erode the freedom of the people by government will never be “defeated”, it will only ever be held off by permanent vigilance and action to the contrary.

    So once you see loose change, america freedom to facism, Endgame, The Obama Deception, zeitgeist, Wake up call, etc. Then what do we do next? Do we just sit back and allow a daily sabotage of our freedoms, watch the news unfold so that we can comment on a forum, while Alex pleads with people to invest in this, start a revolution, build the republic, and make a real change.

    What are we going to do?
    Just sit back and allow ourselves to become mesmerized into a trance like state just like our favorite show on prime time.
    Öh, it wont get that bad” “They’ll never actually put us in camps” “This is nothing like world war II”
    Honestly, why not rally together, form a group, come together, unify and disregard petty differences, throw out the mind control tv box, and do something, before it is too late.
    Countless people wished they would have spoke up in the beginning stages of Naziism, but never did.
    This time there is not an America to come to the rescue and stop Hitler, this time we must become that America.
    Freedom of religion, speech, the constitution, original bill of rights, all of these laws must be our stand by.
    I wonder what our forefathers would think if they saw how we are reacting to this.
    People like Alex are doing what they can, some of us are information gluttons, filling ourselves up until there is no more room left.
    Lets do something, rise to the challenge, and stand up for whats right, and above all pray, pray that we will be delivered.

    ONE NATION UNDER GOD

    Now is the time, now is the moment.
    The apocalypse, the lifting of the veil, is here.
    The truth is becoming an unstoppable force for change in the world. The devils that currently own our dear planet can see on the horizon a small ripple and recognise it for what it is: a tsunami of change, coming their way.
    They understand the mathematics of exponential growth, understand that the universality of communication is enabling ten thousand people today to begin the journey into truth, twenty thousand tomorrow, forty thousand the day after tomorrow.
    As the grand masters of the chess game that is history they have always foreseen the strategy of opponents, have always planned ahead, have always pulled the levers of control, it’s always been mate in three moves.
    This is where can be clearly seen the vast danger we imminently face.
    They have an enormous array of weapons in their strategic armoury, chief amongst which are falsehood (the war on terror, the WMD of the Iraq war, the press and mass media), fear (nuclear weapons in Iran, Korea, terrorism, swine flu, economic collapse), hope (Obama, the new world currency, vaccines, religions), manipulated human desire (consumerism, the desire for safety, the desire for a quiet life), war (here comes another big one) pestilence (AIDS, swine flu, cancer), famine (not just the absence of food, but also the poisoning of what food there is), and death (killing anyone that bothers them, in a targeted way as in the assassinations of Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Dr David Kelly, or with a broad brush like WW1, WW2, and WW111- in which we find ourselves now).
    They are sour losers, these bastards, and will stop at nothing.
    They invented the concept of “scorched earth” in retreat.
    They care nothing for humanity, nothing for love, nothing for peace, nothing for our planet so long as they have the best bits in which to practice their foul amoral behaviours.
    So will the greatest swell in the tide of the affairs of mankind produce the greatest reaction from our “masters”, the enormous petulant swingeing and careless counter threats of the grand master that sees an error in his game and goes for broke.

    We can expect them to ramp up their game, expect them to throw everything at us. We will get WW111 in full quite soon. The plague in whatever form will come. The financial system and so a steady and ordered life will break down. A new “God” will be “revealed” to us for us to bow down to. Weapons of fear and mass destruction will be unleashed and blamed upon the fabled enemy. The internet will go, their media will become the only source for “truth” (lies). We will struggle to communicate. Destruction of an enemies’ means of communication is a pre-requisite of modern warfare.
    All of their myriad power systems and organisations, their enormous army of psychopaths, lackeys, jobsworths and collaborators (witting or unwitting) will be called into exemplary action, manning the barricades in the last battle between evil and good.
    This is all in the pipeline, it’s all been announced. There will be other things that we cannot foresee. We are truly living in interesting times, and they’re about to get very much more interesting.
    Don’t think for the briefest of moments that we can act quickly enough to avert this.
    Many of us are about to pass. They are going for the mass cull.
    Facing this armageddon , alone on the battlefield in full view of the vast army of evil, is the truth.
    And 6.5 billion human beings IF we can get the truth out to them.
    If you are reading this, then I would beg you to consider yourself at war.
    I would beg you to understand that nothing else in your daily routine matters more or counts for more than the spreading of the truth.
    It is our only weapon, our mightiest weapon, it is the stone in David’s slingshot. The pen will have to be mightier than the sword. the truth will have to be the scythe with which we sever the stem of the crop of evils of the world and remove forever the foul harvest that is the legacy of our allowing ourselves to have been so used for so long.
    This is not a war where violence should come from our side. If we use violence we will lose. If we use violence we will build the new world on a foundation of blood and Evil once again be the victor. Our only weapon should be truth, the foundation of our new world truth, truth the mainstay of our future.
    Talk to everyone you meet. Write and call everyone you know. Never miss an opportunity to spread the word. Stand in the street with a placard. Put up a sign in your window. Attract attention to the truth in any peaceful and non-violent way you can. Hold public meetings. If you have skills ,such as the ability to translate web sites into different languages, or are a talented orator or motivator or organiser, use them. If you are wealthy, spend some of it. Hang a sign over a motorway bridge or a tall building. Consider, if we all did this, every day, the rate of growth of the movement for truth will accelerate beyond anything we can imagine.
    The time to act is now. The enemy have taken to the field and hold the high ground. Effort, skill, courage and risk is required, and required now. Pull out the stops.
    Chaaaarrrge!

    IF you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ‘em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    ‘ Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
    if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And - which is more - you’ll be a Human, my son
