DISCLAIMER: I'm not American, but I found this article important enough to share. I'll only provide a brief comment about this article.

Between this and any potential "Social Credit" systems, there's some behind the scenes activity occurring in the US. Watch out for this one as it may head towards a certain direction.

Anyone in the US should keep a close eye on these developments. Will it go global? Who knows.

Another week has gone by where we have seen a tremendous amount of activity around the world: the French, Belgians, and Dutch are engaged in protests labeled “yellow vest” protests. In actuality, the yellow vests are insignificant: these Euro-Socialist countries require citizens to wear yellow vests in public for protests…for “safety” reasons. Actually it is so that center mass is easier to acquire by their paramilitary police forces. There is a good possibility of a major war escalating from current problems between Ukraine and the separatist provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk. The U.S. phony economy is not doing well.

Quietly and almost unnoticed by the beeves of the American populace are the biometric measures for surveillance and tracking being emplaced by the United States with the cooperation of major corporations. I have written articles on the biometric scanners being used in an Atlanta airport, and that Chicago is following suit, along with Delta using these biometric data collection scanners prior to boarding flights in Los Angeles.

A new article surfaced this week that you need to read. Entitled “FBI plans ‘Rapid DNA’ network for quick database checks on arrestees,” by Tom Jackman on December 13, released by the Washington [Com]Post.

This is very serious, indeed. Here’s an excerpt:

Quote:

Though DNA has revolutionized modern crime fighting, the clues it may hold are not revealed quickly. Samples of saliva, or skin, or semen are sent to a crime lab by car (or mail), and then chemists get to work. Detectives are accustomed to waiting days or weeks, or longer, for the results. Some labs are so backed up, they take only the most serious crimes. Some samples are never tested. But a portable machine about the size of a large desktop printer is changing that. A “Rapid DNA” machine can analyze the DNA in a swab and produce a profile of 20 specific loci on the DNA strand in less than two hours. Some local police departments and prosecutors have been using Rapid DNA machines for about five years to solve crimes.

How “procedurally harmless” this may sound on the surface, people, there is something that is not mentioned.

With those machines, they will be able to stow them in vehicles…for use door-to-door.

If you think for an instant the State is not going to clamp down on us, think again. What is the best way to deal with unfunded liabilities and the rising, unstoppable debt? Make it disappear (via an EMP…Electromagnetic Pulse…attack), and start a war (external, or internal, labeled “civil unrest”). Look at what just happened in New Jersey. They declared magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds illegal, and they just may search houses for them. Look what happened in Boulder, Colorado…where residents have until Dec. 27, 2018 to register their firearms with the Boulder Police Department.

Registration is the preliminary step before confiscation: they need to know who owns the guns and where they are kept.

This DNA and biometric-gathering apparatus that the government and its damnable agencies and bureaucracies are emplacing will enable the confiscation of firearms. It is coming. It is coming, as surely as I’m typing these words right now. The CCTV cameras, the cameras above the cash registers, in your bank. The banks themselves: now they are starting to take biometric IDs in the form of fingerprints and retinal scans. Guess what? Those records are also available to our friendly, smiling police departments.

We are witnessing the marginalization of cash. That’s right! You pay for something in cash that is more than a hundred dollars or so, and they look at you as if you’re a criminal. Banks and their SARs (Suspicious Activity Reports), the banks and their “fractional reserve” policy, of loaning out more than five dollars on every dollar they hold. The banks, not allowing you to withdraw more than a couple thousand of your own dollars…not allowing you to use an ATM to withdraw more than a few hundred dollars. The banks: reporting on every dime you bring in and take out, copying your checks, even making a note of the distribution of the very bills you take out when you cash a check.

You can see these idiots in convenience stores, using a “debit” card to buy a soda and a bag of chips…with a total of just a couple of dollars. Ten years ago, such small amounts for purchase would not have been permitted on the card: now, it is the new “norm.” Now the bank and the store will charge for every transaction…in addition to the profits that they make on the over-inflated-priced garbage they’ll sell you. Need a money order? Most places will (at the very least) make you give them a name. Yeah, Mr. Slick will give them a phony name, not paying attention to the little black “Legg’s Egg” dome camera behind the register. Mr. Slick just became guilty of fraud under the defacto laws and U.S.C. edicts. Plus they have the biometrics to boot…the photo, along with the receipt and the money order number. Great job, “Ethan Hunt!”

Every letter sent through the USPS (U.S. Postal Service) is photographed, with the origin and destination recorded in their little database. Every transaction you make, whether in cash or not, is recorded and stored for their little records.

In this manner, all Fisher-Price People and Weebles are accounted for (and accountable) at all times, in the happy little Muppet system….so “ain’t that America…the home of the free,” to paraphrase John Cougar’s song?

Here’s some more out of the article:

Quote:

However, the machines are not connected to CODIS, the FBI’s combined national DNA database. So the FBI is launching a Rapid DNA initiative to place the machines in police and sheriffs’ booking stations around the country, hoping to enable law enforcement to check arrestees against the CODIS database and, when matches are made to DNA from unsolved crimes, head off the release of the suspects. In testifying to Congress about the Rapid DNA network in 2015, then-FBI Director James B. Comey said the technology “would help us change the world in a very, very exciting way.” Comey said it would allow “booking stations around the country, if someone’s arrested, to know instantly — or near instantly — whether that person is the rapist who’s been on the loose in a particular community before they’re released on bail and get away or to clear somebody, to show that they’re not the person.”

Ahh, to be sure, Comey, it’s an excitin’ world yer leadin’ us into…well, led, anyway. “Evan McCone” is no longer one of the hunters, now, is he? As Bill Clinton appointed you, perhaps you should have begun looking for the rapists with a search on his DNA. Then again, those measures are only for the proletariat, never the Politburo. Changing the world in an exciting way, eh? This coming from the “E-mail Doctor” himself. Those who are holding us accountable are beyond accountability themselves.

The point: who is to stop these goons from taking a sample of anything in your house and affixing it to some piece of evidence linked to a [supposed] crime? Sound far-fetched? Think again. Recently in Baltimore, a cop and his buddies were indicted for fabricating evidence with their little “body cameras.” Unbeknownst to them, the cameras recorded 30 seconds prior to their pressing the button…and this “extra” footage showed them falsifying evidence and planting it on people to “expedite” their version of justice. They also were acquitted.

These will be the ones coming for the firearms…yes, coming for the guns. They’re just taking their time and crafting their little laws and statutes, and when the time is right, they’ll go door to door. They already have the records of so many purchases, as Form 4473, a Firearm Transaction Record, is stored indefinitely in gun stores. They will utilize these records, as well as the “unofficial” ones…those gun shows have CCTV cameras, and that film is kept in their databases and fusion centers…forever.

Since the feds infiltrate all of them, do you really believe they haven’t recorded everyone who walks in there, and picks up a weapon? That they haven’t recorded them leaving the parking lot?

They have recorded all of it. Every time you buy ammo in a big-box or sporting goods store, it is recorded…amount, type, and for what caliber. Every accessory bought online is metadata that they will use against you. The investigation is the key for them: if it is under investigation, there is no limits to what they can do, or convince/coerce a court to enable them to do. Here are the stats, and another “kicker” for you from the article:

Quote:

Thirty states and the federal government allow DNA to be taken at the time of arrest. Sixteen states allow it to be analyzed immediately, and in the other 14 states, DNA may be taken at arrest but not analyzed until after arraignment on charges.

Congress approved legislation last year authorizing the Rapid DNA network, and the FBI plans to roll it out slowly beginning next year. “Our goal in 2019,” said Thomas Callaghan, chief biometric scientist for the FBI Laboratory, “is to be able to have a pilot project done where we actually develop a DNA profile in a booking station, with no human review, and have it electronically enrolled and searched in the national database. We have to ensure that the quality that’s done in a lab can be done in a booking station,” which are often jails where fingerprints and mug shots are usually taken.”

That last is telling: “the FBI plans to roll it out slowly beginning next year.”

Why is that? Well, some reasons are that the technology is ahead of the laws…they need some time to craft some more laws that will enable them to be able to sample more than the current laws permit now. The biggest reason? So that it will not be noticed by the Muppets in Fisher-Price Land. Out of sight, out of mind…until the bars are completely constructed and the cage is complete. Did you see what Callaghan said? Let’s embolden it, as it is critical to understand:

Quote:

“…a DNA profile in a booking station, with no human review, and have it electronically enrolled and searched in the national database.”

No human review. Will there even be a hearing? Probably a robot judge, akin to the parole officer in the movie “Elysium.” Do you think arrests will be on the rise? Yeah, they’ll take you in, and you’ll have the DNA taken from you…regardless of whether the charges are pursued or not.

Read the article. Read everything that you can on the tech they’re rolling out. Today’s police officer is tomorrow’s enforcer of a full-blown tyranny. We have reached a point where the vote is irrelevant. The vote is only meant to give the population the illusion that the choice is theirs. It never was. The media and the Democrats are all over the President akin to white on rice, and they’ll be on him relentlessly all the way up to and through the next election, if we make it that far as a nation.

Right now we’re standing on the threshold of the abyss…a plunge into complete totalitarianism and surveillance on every citizen. People, they’re coming for the guns…in every way, shape, and form. They have to have them in order to finish off what is left of the U.S. and institute global governance. I recommend watching an older movie entitled “Gattaca,” for the types of measures they’ll eventually be using to collect DNA with or without our approval. It will happen: in public places, where you work, where you shop, and where you bank.

By matching the CCTV cameras with the samples they take, they will positively identify you and get the DNA. Look what the NFL, what the military, and what law enforcement, as well as hospitals and others have gathered already. Your DNA is a mute witness that can testify against you where you have shopped, what you have eaten, and how you spend your time. They will use it to track you and find you when the time arrives. We have a little bit of time left, but not much before they close the cage on us…one that you cannot see, but is all around us and becoming stronger by the day.

Comments About The Article:

Quote:

If your family participated in genetic testing to determine ancestry, the authorities already have sufficient DNA data to match it versus that at crime scenes, even if they lack your specific DNA. That has been the subject of several recent allegedly solved crimes.

Also, ruthless people could simply gather your DNA in a burglary and then intentionally leave it at crime scenes.

Quote:

Someone would have to get a sample of my DNA first before anything can happen. Not giving up a sample to any mofo for any reason. Not their concern.

Quote:

If your blood sample requested by your Physician for anything was intercepted at the lab they have it. Maintaining anonymity, once the norm is now rare and getting more so every day. Doors are closing and with it avenues of escape. These SOBs with “the best and brightest” and unlimited resources have been woking on this while we worked to pay our bills including taxes.

Quote:

Probably doesn’t even needed to be intercepted. They probably provide a sample to the government for everyone tested.

Quote:

Who said they will ask?

Quote:

They’ll need to get on their knees and suck on my DNA stick for me to submit.

I really can’t believe how stupid some people are who so naively and willingly submit their DNA to those genealogy sites that are building DNA databases. Stupid, fucking stupid.

Quote:

You must have missed the news. They don’t need a sample from you, just from a relative will do.

Quote:

If one asks themself how far Thomas Jefferson and company could have got 242 years ago; the logical conclusion, not too. Technology liberated great segments of labor from drudgery and simultaniously their privacy.

Quote:

No. 1. Don’t give your DNA voluntarily on these stupid genealogy sites. It may come back to bite you.
No. 2. Don’t put your return address on anything, unless it is high value. The less info you give them, the brtter off you are. I never put my address on things I mail and it still goes through.

Quote:

They don’t need everyone. Siblings and more distant relatives with an algorithm tying in other stored data via the NSA will pinpoint anyone. This like the “FREE flu shot” (beware of free) is being pushed. I smell a nefarious goal.

Quote:

for YEARS i have warned people on this site about tech.
Glad you are now listening.

ALL technology made since 2002 is a snitch, snoop, surviellence tool used by corrupt cops and government.

* * * ALL technology made/manufactured in Israel and China are COMPROMISED.
Intelligence agencies of those countries have backdoored EVERY item made there. China intelligence agencies are Dangerous to you, your family, corporate and national security.

US military would not listen. Now even they are finally getting a grasp of reality.

Get all technology out of your life.
New vehicles are the worse for snooping your EVERY move. Toll pass transponders are built in. They log EVERY move you make.

Quote:

Unless you’re handy with crunching numbers, or lots and lots of state resources are being devoted to you, DNA tests are not convenient, at this time. Most people have no idea what to do with the raw data.

I’m just an average man, with an average life.
I work from nine to five; hey hell, I pay the price.
All I want is to be left alone in my average home;
But why do I always feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone, and

I always feel like somebody’s watching me.
And I have no privacy.
Woh, I always feel like somebody’s watching me.
Tell me is it just a dream?

When I come home at night.
I bolt the door real tight.
People call me on the phone I’m trying to avoid.
Well, can the people on T.V. see me.
Or am I just paranoid?

When I’m in the shower.
I’m afraid to wash my hair.

DNA can be used to see if you are a good match for someone who needs a transplant.

Rockefeller’s numerous transplants might have come from people who unwittingly gave up their dna and then had an accident.

In Israel where they use dna to see who will be admitted, a respected leader said that it would be permissible to kill a person and take his liver as long as he is not one of his people.

That is so racist it is hard to believe, but it is a fact.

Quote:

It would be easier to believe if you named that “respected leader”. and gave a valid and verifiable source to his saying it and exactly what he said.

I don’t accept a “fact” unless it is shown to be that.

Quote:

Maybe, you’ve mixed up your R’s, as the Rockefellers were apparently white and Baptist. Rothschilds are associated with the J*ws.

Is this J*wish blood libel logical, though —
— as long as he is not one of his people
— if you are a good match

Quote:

I would like to do one of those DNA tests but no way am I giving up a blood sample or cheek swab, and one or the other is required.

What about people who have to have blood tests if they have an illness or cancer or whatever, where the test are needed? I keep myself healthy so I don’t have to go near a hospital but in the case of an accident or illness wouldn’t the patient have no choice but to submit to a routine blood test in order to get a proper medical diagnosis?

Reminds me of the book “Franklin Scandal”, A Story of Powerbrokers and Child Abuse, by Robert P Morrow

GOOGLE this – Franklin Scandal is a fantastic book and a MUST read/Amazon

This specific one-page Book Review is very telling.

It reveals little-known information about what goes on behind the scenes in Washington, DC. One of the many victims who came forward was jailed for speaking out.

Both the Bush (at least Bush Sr & Bush Jr were) & Clinton Crime Families among the elite involved in this criminal activity. If you want to know where Bush Sr went when he croaked last month just look down. The Clinton’s will be joining him, as will his corrupt son George Jr.

On a related note, here's an interesting, but long piece discussing whether DNA testing is as reliable in determining a person's ancestry as detailed genealogical records. The author undertook DNA testing under a pseudonym and was surprised with the end results. Click here for the full article.

DOES A DNA TEST REVEAL YOUR ORIGINS? (EXCERPT)

Quote:

So I wanted to find out for myself just how accurate are the results from such tests. Therefore I decided to take a DNA test myself.

Now in scientific research circles test results from a study involving people’s traits, characteristics and identities are only considered reliable when they are obtained from a "blind" or a "double blind" study, as the case may be. By this researchers mean that the people who might in any way influence the evaluation of the research results that are obtained must not know the identities of the people whose data they are evaluating. This is to avoid the temptation for researchers to make their results conform to the expectations or to the desires of those commissioning the research, a practice that is unfortunately not at all uncommon.

Let’s apply this point to DNA research:

Quote:

It is plain cheating if those who are doing the DNA research know the precise identities of the people whose DNA they are supposed to evaluate.

That is so because last names openly reveal the nations of origin for those names, before any DNA samples have even been looked at.

So I wanted to have my DNA evaluated in the equivalent of "a blind study". In other words, if my DNA really does reveal my racial background, then that should not be influenced by whether my name is Irish or Russian or Spanish or Chinese or Indian or Italian or any other nationality. The DNA is supposed to tell the story totally independently of whatever my name might happen to be. A name has no influence on someone’s DNA, right? After all, how many ex-slaves took on names like"Washington" and "Jefferson", etc., without such names having any influence on their DNA?

So to achieve "a blind evaluation of my DNA" I did the following:

1) I gave a false name from a totally different nationality to my own ethnic background. I am German, and both of my parents were Germans, and all four of my grandparents were Germans. So I had Ancestry.com do my DNA test for the last name of "MacSomebody" (I will keep the actual name I used confidential), together with a first name that would likewise suggest that I might be either of Scottish or Irish descent. (Perhaps I could receive a result that would also allow me to trade in my Lederhosen for a kilt?) Using an incorrect name or nationality should not have any effect on my actual DNA profile, right?

By way of explanation: once I had chosen my false "Mac..." name, I then did an internet search on that name. Once I knew that hundreds of other people actually have both the names I had selected, then I stayed with that name. If the names I had chosen would have turned out to be very rare, then I would have changed one or both names, to achieve a name that turns up scores or even hundreds of results in a search. That would have been to preserve as far as possible the anonymity of my real ethnic identity.

2) I used an email address that does not contain any part of my real name. This also makes it somewhat more difficult for others to verify my real identity.

3) I used a postbox address for the mailing of the DNA sample kit. This was likewise aimed at minimizing the chance of the DNA researchers confirming my real identity by means of my residential address.

4) I never provide any correct personal data over the internet that is not absolutely required. I will use false names and false dates of birth, etc. when such information is asked for by people who I believe don’t have any right to know that kind of information about me; e.g. filling out some or other form to be granted access to some information on some webpage, etc. After all, I myself don’t ask visitors to my website for their names and dates of birth either; so I don’t see why other websites should be entitled to that type of information. I strongly resist anyone on the internet (and for that matter, also over the phone) seeking to obtain any personal information about me.

So when Ancestry.com asked for my year of birth, then I provided a wrong year. Whether I was born 5 years earlier or 10 years later will not have any effect whatsoever on my DNA profile. So a request for my year of birth from people who claim that they will evaluate my DNA was a warning flag.

In genealogical research there is a need for the correct year of birth, whereas the month and the day of the month are only of secondary importance in that type of research. So when they asked for my year of birth, I realized that Ancestry.com was going to do some major genealogical research through the billions of records that are out there in the public domain. But I don’t want to be given an ethnicity profile based on genealogical records! I want them to give me an ethnicity profile based exclusively on my DNA. After all, that’s the service the Lederhosen guy was advertising.

Concerning DNA research: for any one of us to completely take all genealogical records out of the equation requires only two things: a false name that is associated with a different nationality group, and a fabricated year of birth. And then make sure you don’t reveal your residential address. That will then result in a "blind study", one where the DNA research lab is restricted to using only the actual DNA evidence itself. The false name and the false year of birth will not provide them with any significant information that could be used "to guide" them in the interpretation of the data which they will obtain from the DNA sample. I don’t want them to be "guided" by any non-DNA information.

5) I also refused to give them permission to share my DNA results with any other database or with anyone else. And I obviously refused to start creating some kind of genealogical chart for my supposed ancestors. That can’t really be done with a fake name.

Let’s understand that the invitation to start building some kind of genealogical chart is aimed at benefitting them and not you! It will make it much easier for them to find genealogical information about you, because such a "family tree" will force you to provide to them correct data about your national and racial and family background.

Note that if you don’t start such a family tree within a week or so, you will probably receive a friendly reminder from them to start setting up your family tree. That reminder tells you that they are waiting for this voluntary genealogical information from you. Any information you provide here will guide them in interpreting your DNA.

Now nobody out there on the internet has the right to know anything about your genealogical history, and you should never divulge such personal information to anyone on the internet.

6) Where possible, try to use someone else’s credit card to pay for the DNA test, preferably someone of the opposite sex, to maintain your anonymity. (Give a friend the $69 in cash for him or her to pay for this test with his or her credit card.) A credit card payment from someone of the opposite sex and with a different last name will tell them that it will be futile to associate that friend’s name with your DNA ... should they attempt to establish such a connection.

In short, I sent them my DNA sample in such a way that they were forced to rely exclusively on what the DNA analysis would reveal. I didn’t give them any hints of any kind regarding my true racial and national background. The fact that I implied a different national background for myself should not in any way affect the actual analysis of my DNA.

I skimmed through this, but the part about the government collecting and recording DNA is no surprise.

Just give it time. If the government can advertise the hell out of those ancestry.com's 23andMe DNA tests then they won't have to do all that other stuff mentioned in this article to collect other people's bloodwork. Just see Facebook for the example of how little the government had to do to collect people's life stories and personal information.

People just don't think. Millions of Americans give basically their whole life information to Facebook for free, despite knowing that FB is selling that shit to the top bidder and the government.

The people who take the ancestry.com 23andme DNA tests really top the cake though. People trust a company to "safeguard" their DNA results? Shit, health insurance companies are salivating at the thought of getting their hands on those 23andMe DNA results if they haven't already.

"Can't deny someone with a pre-existing condition" my ass, they'll find a way around it, mark my words. I'll be damned if I willingly give my bloodwork to some greedy ass company hungry for profits.

I'm all in favor of airtight e-privacy (oxymoron?). I also believe everything that is detailed in OP is going on–hell, I'd believe just about anything that's supposedly happened in re: massive data collection since the establishment of the NSA in particular, let alone the CIA and FBI. And that it's not fucking right, at all.

But I just can't dwell on shit like this for more than a few minutes. It's a fact of life that this is going on, I certainly can't change that, and I just believe it's a necessary evil for living in America at this point.
And I have no interest in the 23andMe crap... until I have kids, just to make sure the mother of what I assume to be my child(ren) didn't fuck around on me before I found out she had gotten pregnant, and God knows how far this shit will have progressed by then.

The Ancestry sites are worse than you think because if they have the DNA of various family members of yours they can essentially deduce what your DNA is. I.E. my mom got one of these for christmas and I was bullshit about it.

I think it would be an interesting legal issue if I would be able to get a restraining order to prevent relatives from submitting their DNA. That wouldn't fly today but maybe in the future it would be taken more seriously.

I was traveling from LAX to Paris CDG on an Air France flight a few weeks ago. When they called for boarding we had to walk through a facial recognition scan.

No boarding pass.

No ID or passport

Just the facial recog scan.

That was the first time Id seen that and it was pretty unsettling.




PS I hate connecting through Paris or London

Makes it easy for "Skynet" to pop you on the spot doesn't it?
