Blunkett calls for biometric ID cards

Infosec 2009 Swinger goes one way then t'other

FORMER HOME SECRETARY, bonking David Blunkett opened London's largest annual security show yesterday with a call to end the current ID card scheme, asking for biometric cards instead.

Oddly enough, this partially sighted former politician seems partially sighted about ID cards too, seeing as he was the one to introduce the scheme when he was in office. No surprises there - politician spouting one thing one minute and then telling us something else the next.

At a show that was so secure The INQ found it very difficult to actually gain entry, Blunkett put biometric cards on the (hidden) agenda once again.

Biometric passports and other forms of identification card based around this security measure could do the job better and more cheaply, said the former Home Secretary.

The initial project could crank up a cost of £5 billion, but Blunkett stated it wasn't needed in the first place after all - it just goes to show what a benefit hindsight really is. µ

David "Who's ya Daddy" Bonkit wants Biometric cards so he can find out who he's had kids with.

David "Who's ya Daddy" Bonkit isn't sure who he's shagged so wants us all to be biometrically scanned so he can find out if any of us are his kids.

David "Who's ya Daddy" Bonkit is also getting backhanders from the biometric company, that he's a director of.

Biometrics & Deception

Biometric cards represent an opportunity to deceive.

Properly executed biometric identity checking needs no card, it needs a centralised unhackable database which cards would need anyway to detect forgery. QED the card is superfluous.

No need to carry documents about with you. Big Brother knows who you are.

A Control-Freak is merely the Abandoned Nut crying out for Attention/Solution

Is there a connection here that is viable? A blind man demanding that all should be tagged for the sake of parts binning? Being blind, the man won’t mind others “assisting” him even with some toilet duties, surely, not to mention being tagged and perhaps tarred when it comes to that.

The arguments on the necessity of physical tagging, for that is what IDs are, are as varied as the argument between rights & wrongs – it goes on forever because it is merely a revolving wheel. What is important to realise is that because human behaviour is predictable, meaning that if it can happen it will happen, without exception, for exposure is merely latency/timing and not revelation/time, any information gathered will ultimately be utilised for devolutionary purposes.

The destruction of Devolution is for those who can create and not for those who can merely grab. In Reality, those who can create have no concept of taking whereas those who cannot create can only take. Without exception. In Reativity, those who create [artificialities] not only take, but plunder and seldom give. Not even what they’ve stolen. Is that a joke or what?

Should the minds be readable by those who have yet to realised Reality, then almost all of the “adult” population would have been convicted [of something] but because we cannot read others’ minds, control-freaks, oka saviours, scatter around like blind cockroaches for anything that seems viable.

You cannot solve blindness through being blind. Every screw-cum-nut knows that if you cut-off the hands of a thief, he will find it harder to steal the next time – physically, but not necessarily emotionally nor intellectually. He can coach others after-the-fact. We all know that, so why take the control-freak route when these screws know too well that it will fall into the wrong hands? Because they do not have the answer as well as passing the buck to “law enforcement” and other patsies when the axe falls. The blame game, oka the zero-sum game, for what goes around, always comes around. Without exveption. In the realms of Relativity, Love is not the word. Commission, oka Loot, is be it Fame, Fort=une or Immortality.

No one will be able to buy or sell without the Bio-D card. Card sensors will go up everywhere and when you walk past one you will be scanned. Those places which you are not directly affiliated with you will be denied access to. I the event of a pandemic you homes doors will not open when you walk up to them. You are now state property and state controlled. Your habits and medical records will be just a scan away. Walk in to get some fish and chips and your transaction will be denied because you cholesterol level is to high. Smoke cigarettes ? You will automatically be denied medical attention for heart and lungs no matter if it is unrelated to smoking.

Yes, I say bring on the Bio-D card. If you are ready as I am to become chattle. To lay down ones life for King and country.... Why this is why we live. Who needs freedom when we can be equal in security ? Who really needs money when a cashless society is so much more secure.

Are your ready to put that Bio-D card on a chip ? Let me tell you about the chips. Did you know that the chip technology exists which can modify your genes ? No imagine that chip inside your body. No imagine that the way you got that chip was from a 5 micro chip that was suspended in a glass of water. You didn't know you drank it you just feel unusual because the amount of dopamine and serotonin dramatically increased in your body. Now those subliminal messages which you were able to ignore are now being absorbed like a bad tuna.

Yes, now if you go against the state the bio weapons will dispense because the fountain you just drank from knows it is you. You have now been inculcated by suggestion and you decided to hop in the Thames onto the boat below. How will you know when they attack ? How will you know freedom and live ?

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
