UN GROUP CALLS FOR FINGERPRINTING EVERYONE!!!
Sydney Morning Herald ^ | 12/18/01 | By Maria Hawthorne

Refugees meeting hears proposal to register every human in GENEVA, Dec 13 AAP|Published: Friday December 14, 7:18 AM

Every person in the world would be fingerprinted and registered under a universal identification scheme to fight illegal immigration and people smuggling outlined at a United Nations meeting today.

The plan was put forward by Pascal Smet, the head of Belgium's independent asylum review board, at a roundtable meeting with ministers including Australian Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock this afternoon.

Mr Smet said the European Union was already considering a Europe-wide system, using either fingerprints or eye scanning technology, to identify citizens.

But he said the plan could be extended worldwide. "There are no technical problems. It is only a question of will and investment," he said. "If you look to our societies, we are already registered from birth until death. Our governments know who we are and what we are. But one of the basic problems is the numbers of people in the world who are not registered, who do not have a set identity, and when these people move with real or fake passports, you cannot identify them.

"It's a basic rule of management that if you want to manage something, you measure it. It's the same with human beings and migration.

"But instead of measuring it, you have to register them."

Mr Smet said the scheme would give people dignity by giving them an identity if their papers had been lost or destroyed.

And he said it would allow countries to open their borders to genuine travellers or asylum seekers, because they would be able to prove the identity of any over-stayers and deport them without argument from their home country.

Mr Ruddock appeared unconvinced by the merits of the plan.

"In principle we would be supportive of a system which would crack down on multiple asylum claims, but a universal identification system would be taking it too far," he said through a spokeswoman.

Do you think that instead of giving the UN my fingerprints I could just give them the finger?

"..that require finger printing, they already have your prints. The government has had mine since 1941 and guess what? They have yet to contact me for any reason."

When they decide the world is over populated ,and hurting mother earth, you may be tagged as one of the first useless eaters to be eliminated.
It would be "for the good of the socialist whole."
It is so much easier to hunt people down this way.

You forgot to include anybody who has ever worked for the Federal Government. I got fingerprinted when I went to work for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in Alaska 30 years ago.

Or anyone who is a naturalized citizen of the United States.

identification scheme to fight illegal immigration
Thanks RaceBannon.
Fixing? The UN is trying to FIX something? Heaven help us here comes the big ballsup. And how does one "fix" illegal immigration with a fingerprint. If you let people "migrate" across borders it doen't matter how much fingerprinting you do. (Not that preventing illegal immigration is really their goal.)

we're already screwed.

Pretty much. The available option remaining is to make it VERY costly, and VERY personal..

I dont kn0ow if this has been said already, I didn't read all 127 replies, but who here thinks this will bring safety upon us all? Do you really think that the criminals that are here illegaly, or otherwise, are going to come foward and give up their figerprints??? No they won't. This is all BS nonsense.

I remember when my daughter was small (about 12 years ago), there were booths set up in the shopping malls. Little kids were being fingerprinted as part of a record package, in case the little tykes got kidnapped. The parents thought it was necessary, and the kids probably just thought it was fun. I avoided it.

Look how well the United Nations fits the Beast in Revelation that gains power over each persons buying and selling. They want power, period, they are already mad on the power they now possess and want more. The United Nations is chaffing under the control of the USofA and it's veto power, they will launch what ever means neccessary to get out from under what ever limited control the US has over them now.

I'm outraged by the very presence of this useless, bungling, pompous, socialist, racist entity in my country and the fact that my country is not only a member of this parasitic organization but lavishly funds it. We haven't even gotten to what I think of a global ID database for my own good. Could they be more clueless? Like OBL, they are about to go too far.

US out of the UN and the UN out of US

Well, the upside is to this whole NUmber of the beast thing is that it will only last about 3-4 years. Then God comes here and straightens out the whole mess. I'll probably be in my late 30's early 40's, and shouldn't be in much worse shape I'm in right now. Glad I joined the gym.

There are things already set in motion. There are internment camps here in the United Nations. There is one in Marsailles, Illinois, run by the U.N. I have actually seen this camp. It's way out of town, and very secluded. It's large enough to house and hold about 500-1500 people. If you don't believe me, check it out for yourself.

It's all moving much faster now, this agenda for one world, one people. Apparently there aren't enough of us out there to resist this. So many people think just because they live in America they are safe. Well, watch and wait, and be vigilant. Evil comes like a thief in the night. God I hope they get that temple built in Israel. When it's complete, they say God will finally return.

I pray that I'm on the right side of things. It's too bad there are so many who are going to fry out of ignorance.

Like gin control only lawful people will obey. Criminals and terrorist will not. So the point is moot.

The best avenue to take "if someone is really concerned about the mark" is to make sure you are right with God.

Anything else....seems like vanity to me.

MOSTLY AGREE,

But believe there is SOME merit in trying to wake up the deaf, dumb and blind . . . some may turn out to be less so than thought.

AWHHHH
BILLDO and SHRILLERY
would NEVER do that!!!
Just ask them!!! . . .

NOT!

They'd probably race each other to see who could do it first. He might even dump the latest bimbo to achieve that.

Yeah I'd agree with you.

If it is merely wanting to sow seeds into peoples lives in order for them to come to the truth then I agree.

I think there is an honest situation where you have alot of nonbeliever types and even some believers who whine about the mark.

To me...it is coming and nothing is going to prevent that so while I am here why should I sweat it. Honestly...if I could know what tech company was gonna be behind most of the work...I'd be buying up their stock left and right in order to profit from it. Hahaha.

Anyway, I think we agree.

I don't necessarily know if I interpret Revelations the same way as a lot of other Freepers do, but I do know that if you're all correct, the one-world government and Antichrist and all that is going to have to be, you know, actually evil. The UN and EU are like the Three Million Stooges.

You ever watch Colombo?

There's time for them to tighten up the operations. The worse-than-hitler can do that overnight. We have seen plenty of evidence that people crave safety more than freedom. . . thereby insuring their lack of safety. . .

The clowns have plenty of time to remove the grease paint. . . but the KISS style "complexion" underneath will not be so attractive.
