Republican Senator Judd Gregg was Obamas 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 Obamas 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 Obamas 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 Obamas 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 cant 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 coordinates 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...
On this point about just re-typing your address into a google map and changing the lat/long is over simplifying this issue Theophilus. They are doing this in a way that they can and you can be SURE that it will work for them. I don’t believe it’s not a big deal!! Mostly, I agree what you post but I can’t fall in behind this one. I, too am an evangelical Christian Conservative. Bottom line however, we must trust God.!! CO
I used commercial GPS (for a federal job) in the 90’s when there was a 100m longitudinal and a 156m latitudinal scramble. The units that these people are using are not that bad, but tend to wobble and wander a good bit.
They are not counting doors. Not all who work for them are convinced it is good to be too precise, either.
Don’t want a visit - live behind a locked gate that looks like it goes nowhere. if you can’t do that, put up beware of dog signs, many worker bees will guess rather than take a chance.
Hmmm - long time since I have worked for a governmental agency where I had to learn about access, but the truth is probably somewhere between, and your sheriff probably more wrong than the kid, unfortunately. The law allows access to private lands for a variety of official reasons. However, some private property owners (Biltmore House, for instance) get a lot more property rights than others. Generally, it is simpler and better for get permission or and escort, but they are able to get their way in the end.
Simpler to hide or make it less appealing to come on your land.
The constitution might say a census is taken every ten years but where is the mandate for me to participate ?
good one
Through a hand-held computer that has a GPS included with it. It records the exact location of where the census worker is standing on your property. No "marker" is left at your home.
Ideally, the census wants the GPS spot closer to the home. Map spotting on the curb isn't considered acceptable.
All the possible and right addresses of living quarters must be compiled before the census forms can be mailed out.
Because the Postal Service doesn't deliver to address where no one is presently living but could live at the time the Census forms are mailed out.
Here is what a form looks like:
http://www.census.gov/dmd/www/pdf/d61a.pdf
That wouldn't work. There are residences that aren't occupied presently that can and will be when the Census forms are sent out. The Census has to have the mailing address of every possible residence.
A GPS location is indicated by the census taker's hand-held computer and he or she marks the spot on a map given to them by the computer.
Yeah,,, target a house, it blows up and then the news can say it was a gas explosion.
I think we should take pictures of all the census people and post their images on the net. Why should they not be made to feel uncomfortable. Why should they be allowed to hide?
Thanks, Ol’Sparky.
>>”I really hope all this crap is rumors, because if it isnt, then its time for CWII.”<<
It’s true. They ‘marked’ us today while we were away from the house. Not sure what I would have done if we were here.
CWII coming soon I think. Hopefully we can do it without firing a shot and just vote the bastards out.
WHAT ARE THEY PAINTING THE DOORS WITH? I just got a new door. I didn’t see paint on the old one or the new one. Is it really paint or what?
No. They’re marking the longitude and latitude of your front door in their data base, using hand held GPS units. “Painting” is a figure of speech.
