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...
If they are within 40 feet of my door, they better be able to run faster than my insane German Shepherd.
That's not the way it works.
A dear young lady came to my door a week or so ago and asked if the house was occupied. Yes, I told her. Who are you, I asked? She is with the census, she replied. Who pays your wages, I asked. She wasn't sure -- it was direct deposited to her account. Well ...
She began poking a little hand-held device with its plastic control stick. Establishing co-ordinates via GPS connected to my street address. The dear young lady made a comment about what she was seeing, and I moved around to look over her shoulder at the screen. Very quickly she pulled it tightly to her chest, and let me know that she was not supposed to let me see it.
Yes, unfortunately, we were.
Interesting post...why does it smell fishy....one can go to Google Earth and get the coordinates for a house without effort....
They came to my house last week.
Some surveyor is going to be in trouble next year. My new front door (house) will be about 100 feet farther back from the road than what they marked.
I have never been truly afraid of my country’s government before this.
This is stunning.
Interesting - So this policy was put into place under Bush.
just said the same as you posted except the woman got nervous when I approached her and talked to her
Do you have a link?
Young man saying he was from a "union" came around while the Bamster was running, he was from "Daytwaa" as it is said in french....
Had a hand-held something or other for tallies. Like a dumb @$$ I told him how I was voting...
Ok. They were out here this morning. The Constitution says that they are only to take a count. Not GPS my property. They handed me a slip of paper that my answers are confidential and that I am required by law to provide the information. However, they didn’t ask for any information just GPS and said that someone else will be by to ask questions.
Do you have a link?
Appears so
The snot nosed kid said he was a government employee and didn’t have to observe signs. The sheriff informed him otherwise.
“...This sounds unconstitutional....”
Look, until Zer0 turns loose of his original long form BC, HE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL as POTUS, or as the case may be, TOTUS.
No. It’s from the writer. But, I have certainly seen plenty of speculation about this all over the web.
The same accuracy that helped us bomb the Chinese embassy in Belgrade a decade ago?
What a bunch of crap. This story is right up there with the stories about 9/11 being planned and executed by Cheney.
I also asked her right up front if she worked for ACORN (American Communist Obama Reelection Network), and she played dumb, saying she did not know of it. I told her it was a Communist front organization that perpetrates voter fraud.
