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...
There is at least one FReeper who knows the straight poop on the subject......
They’ll just come back with the sheriff next time. Be careful.
Electronic gizmo. They also record how many doors are on the house.
Yes, at mine too, 2 weeks ago. We have a neighborhood watch, and question anyone in the neighborhood we don’t know. I observed a sedan parked in front of my house for about 5 minutes, so went out and spoke with the person. She admitted she had a GPS device, and even showed it to me, along with her Census Bureau ID. They drive around and put all residences into their system. Spooky stuff.
Came to my house last week.
Sumbitch. I had one of those idiots at my door 2 Saturdays ago. He knocked and by the time I opened the door, he was scampering down the street. I yelled to him and he returned, only to inform me that he was at my door and that's all he had to say. I initially thought it was a gas meter-reader, but now am sure it was one of Obama's seasonal employees.
Disturbing, to say the very least. bookmark
HOW would they do THAT? Walk around the house? THIS is what the CENSUS is supposed to do....??? Someone needs to get ON THIS!!!
And, furthermore, wonder what about all those who live in GATED communities? Bill Gates? Rush Limbaugh? Or is it just for us peeons???
Hard to say for sure BUT I know how much fun I would have telling some ACORN puke what is was and that it can do that very thing.

They don’t mark your door/property literally. They record the exact latitude & longitude. This way they really know where you live (street addresses can be unreliable, but latitude/longitude coordinates are simple and precise).
I’m sure it’s for another government partnership with Google of some kind.
Thanks...got it.
If my memory serves, commercial and military GPS units have a high degree of difference in their accuracy.
I wonder which they’re using...
Weren’t we just taking about this?
Military, I’m sure. Accuracy is within inches.
When they do a dynamic entry on your home they’ll know how many doors to deal with even before they look at your place.
