National ID - Redux

Secretary of State James Baker III and former President Jimmy Carter have come out in favor of a National ID card.

The Real Effect
This is a tricky issue. On it's surface, I am in favor of standardized (read 'national') ID's being required in order to vote. I believe this greatly reduces the amount of vote fraud that is being perpetuated in not only our state of Wisconsin, but many others.

However, I do believe that this issue is a bit of a Trojan horse.

If there are not verifiable paper trails on many of the new electronic machines that are going in (a result of the Help America Vote Act of 2002), which there is not, than it does not matter who votes, or in what manner he or she votes as the actual vote can be manipulated on the receiving end. Seeing as how many of the voting machines that are currently in place are not able to be reviewed for security, (http://www.blackboxvoting.org/) then it matters little how we verify the voter, because in the end, we deploy a National ID card.

Start of the Asiatic war (Late Q3 - Q4) - With the US being over committed, it can't back up its positions in other countries, the East sees this and starts moving. Fires break out faster then they can be put out.

This is not a recession, it is a depression. And a massive one at that. We are not at the bottom, we are on gaining momentum for the next plunge down. If you thought the last drop was bad, this one is going to strike fear into the hearts of men everywhere.

Look for Roberts to hold a conservative line for a while, disarming most arguments against his nomination. Then when key arguments come to SCOTUS, I believe he will suddenly become a Sandra Day and hand us over to the globalists.

Western Europe contracts massively, putting extraordinary pressure on the Euro. But the call out of Belgium isn't about revoking the Euro, rather about the preservation of the European Union and the need to 'pull together'. I would expect that we could begin to see propaganda calling for a United Europe in the face of "x" (economic crisis, terror, war). Ultimately in the endgame, foreign creditors feel the massive pinch as they try to protect their investments, but the lack of a favorable response by the people will lead to war with the far east, but not yet.
