Republican Senator Judd Gregg was Obama’s first choice for the Secretary of Commerce post, and Gregg was actually considering joining the Obama team, until he found out that control of the US Census was being stripped from the Commerce Department and placed under the direct control of White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel.
Then, the same week that Americans learned that they were “domestic terrorists” -- at least according to Obama’s new DHS (Department of Homeland Security), -- if they own a bible, a pocket Constitution or guns, and still believe in Life, Liberty and Freedom, - they also learned that Obama’s Census Bureau had hired thousands of new temporary employees, equipped each with a handheld GPS computer and sent them out to mark GPS coordinates for every residential front door in America.
Oddly, it was this same period that news was breaking of an international flu pandemic, suspected of being a weaponized strain of the virus never before seen, - and that Obama’s team still sees no need to close the US-Mexican border, despite the cross continental spread of a deadly illness now claiming American lives.
Now, if any one of these events happened alone, one might not get too excited. But when a string of such events happen all at once, one begins to question the string of freedom and life threatening coincidences...
I can’t resist the urge to question the authority and purpose behind such a BIG BROTHER initiative, when the official Census itself is not due to be taken until 2010...
No imagination is required to think up a whole laundry list of evil that could be done with a nationwide GPS grid of coordinate’s markers painted on every private home across the country. But I was having trouble thinking up one good reason for it, even one legitimate use that would justify what must be a very expensive undertaking.
According to one of the Census workers, who spoke with me on condition of anonymity, they must GPS mark the coordinates “within 40 ft of every front door” in America and they are supposed to complete that mission nation wide, within 90 days, by the end of July 2009.
The workers were not told why they were GPS marking every front door. But a supervisor is sent out to follow them door-to-door, to make certain that no door is left unmarked. Every door will be marked by one employee, and then checked by a follow-up supervisor.
So, I had to ask, why?
Why does the Obama administration need or want the latitude and longitude coordinates for every home in America ? Why the rush to GPS paint every home in the next 90 days? Why must the marker be within 40 ft of every front door? For what possible purpose does the Fed need GPS coordinates for every home, and under what authority do they have the right? Census workers, whom I asked, had the same holy-crap look on their faces that I had by then...
“Not tinfoil this time.”
Nothing this administration does requires the wearing of tin foil.
What comes to mind is them feeding the GPS data to PREDATOR drones that will take out the homes of “right-wing extremists.”
One B-52 fully loaded could control a large city using these coordinates.
Now, now...Obama would never terrorize a city from the air...
...uhmmm...wait a minute...
“Why does the Obama administration need or want the latitude and longitude coordinates for every home in America ?”
So, that they will know to avoid Republican homeowners during the Census to and to concentrate on low-income Democrat residents, and then use this intel to redraw districts in the Democrats’ favor, making it impossible for a Republican to win anying.
Did you just hear on the news that they are going to implement GPS as mandatory in our cars too.
“One of the reasons why this is important is to determine what community a particular home is in.”
And why, EXACTLY, would this be of LEGITIMATE concern to the Federal Government? Please be precise and exact in your response.
Thank you!
I had some guy in an S10 pickup driving through my hood a week or so ago. He drove into every driveway, and either stayed in his truck or got out and walked part way to the front door, then got back in and went to the next house.
“It opens up vast new frontiers to prospective tyrants.”
One thing the GPS database would enable is having a high altitude surveillance drone watch the house.

Hey folks just remember all you are obligated to tell those
Brown shirts when they step on your porch in 2010 for Census
check is how many people live at your residence that’s all it’s in the Consitution.
I agree but also think we should raise an issue with this as well if it is true.
This is the same data mining that Hillary used during her senatorial campaign.
want to bet the “lists” manages to transfer from senatorial run to presidential run?
This is the digital equivalent of marking homes with little jewish stars.
Using GPS map data along with answers on the census form to predict probable party affiliation they will be able to do a pretty good job gerrymandering voting didtricts.
They are still civilians. They wouldn’t have access to that stuff.
However, Civilian GPS is accurate within inches now, so it doesn’t really matter anymore. And, they could also use GLONASS (Russian GPS) or the Chinese version.
I do geocaching and usually a marker is something on the GPS unit. You might mark your trail so as to be able to find the way back to your car.
Once they have conducted this survey, the list will be available to local and state governments for review. During the review period, groups can point out where the census people have missed residences.
The result of this will be the list of residences for which census data will be requested in 2010.
