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...
It is addressed to “Resident”.
It says my “address” (not me “personally”) have been asked to participate in the “American Community Survey”, which will arrive in a few days.
It came with a letter and a brochure (in several languages) that says it collects information on “education, housing, and jobs” to “decide where schools, highways, hospitals, and other services are needed”.
I says that I am required by law to respond.
Wait a darn minute! How did I become fortunate enough to have to take the “regular census” and this “American Community Survey” nonsense?
Doesn't the 10 year Census tell them all they need to know?
Why do this (under penalty of law) twice?
They are spending our tax dollars twice here but to what end?
Any thoughts?
I have the same feeling, we are seeing “Left Behind” come to real life.
If you didn’t sign for it, throw it away, they can’t prove you got it. Make life difficult for them.
Read my post # 261. The letter is in my hand and I am not making that up.
I heard from a friend that someone was putting some kind of identifiers on gate posts in his little town.
So much for my theory that being in the sticks would deter them.

Right... just like it is already linked to my... address. Also a mappable thing. It doesn't change anything.
They're just using a new tool. It's pretty much the same kind of data they've always had. The problem isn't the data-- it's what they'll do with it now that the White House owns it. I'm guessing they're going to do some intense gerrymandering of congressional districts in advance of the coming elections. Now that they've got power they have the perfect tool to keep it.

Google will not positively identify one’s house. It will give the where abouts, but not the exact house. When I pull my home up, it shows my whole street, it is up to you to know WHICH house it is.
Can I get in the gate?
Why?
I just need to get in the front yard
Why
I'm with the census
Just put it in the mail to me
Okay, I'm not with the census
Who are you?
I just need to get in the front yard
No you can't. I want you off my property
He left, if he comes back with his supervisor, they won't come on private property without some trouble. If everybody called the sheriff or police, pretty soon they will stop responding because it will be too much of a headache. I have no idea who he works for. I think he's a serial killer up to no good or a burglar, that's my story
Read my post # 214.
FWIW, I just confirmed this report with a recent college grad who got a job working the census, since he couldn’t find a job in his field.
Sorry, I had skimmed through a few and missed that.
But not to your income, ethnicity, and a host of other things they will want to know when they come around with their questions. We know perfectly well that this database will soon be compromised. I think the only thing you're required to tell is the number of people living in your house. That's what I plan to do. In 2000, I refused to give any other information.
I live in rural Texas and I’d just hope I’m here at home when some fool comes around to mark my house. That thing will be tracking his every move from inside his digestive system. I really hope all this crap is rumors, because if it isn’t, then it’s time for CWII.
Not any more, several years ago the accuracy restraints were lifted. They are used to survey, grade roads, etc, now accurate to within a fraction of an inch
Hi Eric - you know very well they will do it in the dead of night if they have to. America is in BIG trouble unless the PEOPLE rise up with their guns!! Time is already running short. This man is not only an illegal alien “president”? but he’s a demonically possesed man surrounded by demonically possessed people. America is in REAL danger this time. CO
That pilot will be some rednecks son. That is when SHTF
