Dear census taker,
Here is a picture on where I live. Please feel free to GPS paint it.

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...
FOIA request on the purposes and all policy documents might work - though if this is like any other census, the data itself is confidential for 72 years.
No one is asking for the GPS coordinates. The volunteers are just taking them.
The Voter Vault, DataMart and County voter registration lists already has how registered voters vote. Trust me, they (the nannies) are already merging all of this data.
"Congress should close the Department of Commerce and, in particular,
make the Bureau of the Census a small, independent agency;
restrict the census to enumerating the population, make answeringother census questions voluntary, bar statistical sampling, and scrub the planned annual American Community Survey..."
Dear census taker,
Here is a picture on where I live. Please feel free to GPS paint it.
Here's my address.
The Census is under the White House now. I don’t think the Executive Branch would be exempt from any equipment.
Is that a census nazi?
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Germany did this too.
One Word: JDAM
Classic Christopher Walken: “How to Complete a Census.”
” . . . 80 people live in this apartment?”
“Seems high, doesn't it? Not 80—how ‘bout four? . . .”
Nothing else sticks in my mind about this like that.
I stand by my original posting that the paranoid conspiracy detailed in the lead article is fantasy BS. The GPSing is happening. Obama is a sneaky little bitch but this is not one of his nefarious little plans ... yet.
Oh goody. We can all embrace federally issued speeding tickets when GPS in our cars shows we got home to our GPS mapped house too fast.
BTW, the NAIS makes farmers and ranchers notify the USDA when they move their animals. Wait until we all have to notify Nanny that we want to move our cars, and God forbid you are out of Carbon Credits....
I hate Illinois Nazis.
Let's see: Zero is a Statist aka a Fascist aka National Socialist
And he's from ….... not really Illinois …. whew! Close one there...
A few years ago, I was one of the ‘conspiracy crowd’ posting about RFID. Well, guess what. We have arrived.
As with the rest of the Gov.
There was a huge boom & bust of real estate since then.
Census enumerators are given lists of addresses to make the headcount. Previous census lists of addresses are only good for what existed in 2000. What happened since then? You can check a local Department of Buildings and Houses, but would you really trust their tally?
This happens to be the best time for using GPS technology because solar activity and sunspots haven't been this low in a century. What other technology would you want to verify a current address or the demise of an old address?
Reapportionment didn't happen until after the vote in 2000. Remember how the reapportionment in Texas dragged on for years.
Treated pig heart valves are used routinely when humans need to have their heart valves replaced. They don't require immunosuppression, IIRC.
That the genes from swine, avian and human strains finally recombined into the current influenza AH1N1 strain shouldn't be a surprise after looking at the current crowded conditions found in modern agribusiness. It's not like they have no contact with humans, and many bird species are free.
