SHOCKINGLY AWFUL: US school districts begin RFID tagging of students for surveillance

You are being overly dramatic about what this tagging at school does. The government is not tracking them, the school is when they are on school premises.

As far as wanting to have my child tagged, your being dishonest with yourself if your claiming that your child has never been out of your eye sight, kids get snatched while sleeping in their beds at night not all or even most kidnappings are a product of neglectful parenting.

 

Would you carry a tag everyday? Maybe somebody else thinks you need one. RFID tagging is insane and irresponsible. Maybe the kids should just swallow a Lojak and be done with it huh? Do your job as a parent and you wouldn't need RFID tagging, like some animal.

 

It is my job as a parent is to protect my child. I deem it more important than some making some political point. I certainly care more about my child than any car that I would install a Lojak or some endangered species that would get tagged. I have already made the point that no parent has their child in their eye sight at every moment. I would never agree with micro-chipping an adult without their consent.

Most importantly though that has nothing to do with this thread and the tagging suggested in the article. Something which I also see as being useful and not an invasion of privacy.

 

The day is coming when we will all be REQUIRED to wear these things as well as mandatory cameras in our homes and cars, drones flying around outside our windows, etc.

BLUFFDALE, Utah (ABC 4 News) - The National Security Administration is construction a $1.2 billion data center at Camp W.G Williams National Guard Post.

The one million square-foot facility is the largest U.S. Department of Defense project in the nation.

It has been under construction for a little more than a year as the progress is obvious several buildings are rising from the dust as crews work to construct the center.

Some are touting the "spy center" to be the most advanced of its kind in the world. "If we were number 1 in the world with out spy situation I think that's great," said Gary Bolton.

Supercomputers will fill 100,000 square feet of space. What those computers will do is classified, but one top official said they will be used to "find, fix and kill the enemy." "Utah is really advanced as far as collecting and processing information so I'm no surprised they would be build something like that in here," said Lydia Goldina.

A "wired magazine" article published last March reports the super computers will collect, sift and store billions of email messages and phone calls from within the United States and around the world. "It feels to me a lot more like they're just spying on us rather than terrorism," said Joshua Jessop. "I don't like the idea of invasion of privacy and now they're going to be to watch everything we do," Jessop continued.

This center will have its own water supply, sewage treatment plant and because it will draw 5 megawatts of power it will have its own substation.

The data center is scheduled to be up and running September of 2013.

I care about my pets too, and I don't even want them tagged. Tag your kid....enjoy and get back to texting. Maybe you'll get a text when something goes wrong. Don't know why you don't agree with tagging an adult without their consent. You want it done to your kid. Oh wait....YOU know better.....for your kid. Well....maybe the taggers know better....for you.

Preparation H is useful too. Doesn't mean I want it shoved up my rear end involuntarily because somebody else thinks it's a great idea.

 

We've already fallen. Our society is completely whacked out.

 

Listen closely, hi-speed, because you clearly don't know anything about technology. GPS beacons must have a power source to transmit a location. GPS isn't RFID, it stands for global positioning satellite and it's a system of several satellites 22,500 miles above the earth's surface in geo stationary orbit that determine a position fix by corroborating measurements between the various satellites. In order for these satellites to "see" a GPS beacon, that beacon must be transmitting. If you have a lowjack locator in your stolen car and the car thief disconnects the negative battery terminal, you won't be able to track it as it's being shipped to a chop shop in Mexico. If you have a pet tracker and the battery in Fluffy's collar dies, then you can't track where your pet is while it's being chopped up for meat at a Vietnamese restaurant. A drivers license does not have the ability transmit location. A RFID tag with an embedded smart chip also cannot transmit its location unless a reader is in range of it's magnetic field. So save the arrogant nonsense about "bringing me up to speed on technology". I'm several times smarter than you on my worst day.

 

Let me ask you this, do you think Obama is a good president?

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normalcy_bias

The normalcy bias, or normality bias, refers to a mental state people enter when facing a disaster. It causes people to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster occurring and its possible effects. This often results in situations where people fail to adequately prepare for a disaster, and on a larger scale, the failure of governments to include the populace in its disaster preparations. The assumption that is made in the case of the normalcy bias is that since a disaster never has occurred then it never will occur. It also results in the inability of people to cope with a disaster once it occurs. People with a normalcy bias have difficulties reacting to something they have not experienced before. People also tend to interpret warnings in the most optimistic way possible, seizing on any ambiguities to infer a less serious situation

 

"Good" is relative. Compared to...who? or what?

 

Compared to no one, in general do think he is bringing positive change to this country by moving us toward a socialist and eventual communist nation? Do you like his abortion policies, him putting into power the same banking cartels as the republicans, his redistribution of money by robbing from the working and giving to the lazy, his decision to drastically decrease the US' nuclear weapons while China, India, and Russia increase theirs. I could go on but you get the point. Do you believe Hussein Obama is good for the United States of America?

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_frog

 

We had TWO choices (realistically). Was Obama the better choice? ABSOLUTELY.....by far. Is he perfect or even close? NOPE.

Perhaps though..instead of blaming Obama, you could blame the system. I assume you would have preferred Romney. Do you think he would have been any better? I think not. In fact, he would have been exponentially worse. So, do I like everything Obama is doing? NOPE. Do I feel that of the two choices, I made the correct selection? ABSO-FRIGGIN'-LUTELY.

 

Romney would not have been much better, but at least he appeared to have moral values and some common sense. I know he shape shifted alot but the picture was painted about him as though he was against homosexual marriage, (which I can't fathom why 2 men would want to rip each other a new one), he was against abortion, for strong military defense, I'm against most wars myself but am all for a strong military defense system. He seemed to not want to put our grand, grand, grand, grand............great grandchildren in debt. He seemed to have Christian values, he appeared like the better option although he would probably suck as well. But IMO it is a wacked out society that wants a immoral, socialist, debt piling maniac in charge of the country. That is my 2 cents.

To bad the only real man who would have brought real constructive change to America never had a shot from the get go, that would be Ron Paul of which I am speaking.

 

Great, great, great, great, grand *

 

Moral values? Getting rich from subbing out people's jobs I guess you find moral. I don't. Common sense? I saw no such indication of that. Shape shifted? You mean LIED? (I guess that's part of his morality that you admired). Homosexual marriage? Not relevant to the Presidency. Abortion? That's already been decided since the seventies. Irrelevant to the Presidency. Military defense? He's against deficits but has no problem bankrupting everybody for the sake of bombing people into submission. That makes no sense either but it is a popular right wing stance, I'll grant you. Debt seems to be fine with him so long as it was on his terms. Another typical right wing stance. Christian values? Such as? What's "Christian" about outsourcing people's jobs for personal profit?
Whacked out society??? I AGREE....100%.

Ron Paul needs to shed that (R) next to his name if he ever wants to be taken seriously.

 

I see what you did there. YES. You are right. Many systems produce an undesirable outcome due to the slow boiling effect.

The US is one of them.

 

On Paul (D) for US Governor. I agree.
