There is nothing encoded in the US Constitution establishing the power of the government to “mark” the citizenry or otherwise identify them with ID cards. Our modern day identification infrastructure was originally conceived to maintain a record of habitual criminals - not law-abiding citizens. Encyclopedia Britannica points out, “The major concern of criminal investigation is the professional criminal - the recidivist, whose name will appear periodically on the arrest record. If his identity can be conclusively established, his later efforts at concealment can usually be thwarted. A system whereby the identity of the criminal can be positively determined at each arrest is an invaluable aid to the investigator.”[1]

Ergo, the government considers everyone to be a criminal who needs to be identified and cataloged. With tens of thousands of laws currently on the books, every single person in the country is guilty of violating at least half a dozen laws a day - even if they don't know it. Since the government's goal is to make everyone a criminal, and incarcerate them in some form of gulag or another, it follows that all of these "criminals" need to be issued identification cards.

Today, the government considers everyone to be a criminal and virtually mandates the possession of a state-issued ID card. It is a Class E crime in Maine to refuse to identify yourself to a government authority; those who refuse may be charged with a fine, imprisoned or both.[2] 

The start of man's identification system is with the birth certificate. Barrons' Dictionary of Banking Terms defines a certificate as “a paper establishing an ownership claim.” With the birth certificate functioning as the “certificate of origin” of the human flesh, and the newly created Social Security Number serving as the “serial number”, since 1921 live-born humans have been marked as if they were cattle owned by the government. The controllers of government then go hyperbolic with marking their chattels with state issued driver's licenses and now, the unconstitutional federal "Real ID" - which is really the entry point to the federal digital open air prison grid.

Over the past 60+ years the driver’s license - originally intended as a privilege for corporations or people to use the road for profit or gain affecting a public interest, such as delivery vehicles, buses and taxis - has developed into a convenient way for the government to identify its chattels. While a human may carry a state-issued identification card, new features such as digital photographs and thumb scanning now allow the identification system to be linked up from State to State and to the Federal government as well. In fact, the legal definition of “license” is a revocable permission to commit some act that would otherwise be unlawful.[3]     Satan uses a counterfeit of God's system of identification, luring and tempting God's children to place their faith in man for their safety, sustenance and security by demanding the use of an identification system in all of their social/political/economic interactions with their fellow man. No good can ever come from inviting government into your private interactions.

Today, you may not get on a plane, or in many cases a train or bus without a state-issued ID card; you may not, in some cases ship packages via UPS[4] [or FedEx] and you may not purchase some products at stores without it. You may not open a bank account or get a job without the government's biometric ID card and concomitant Social Security tracking number (even though there is no law requiring you to have a SSN to live or work in the U.S.[5]). This is the beginning of the “shall not buy or sell” paradigm outlined in the Biblical Book of Revelations.

This system of control that these voluntary marks will consist of has been around for hundreds of years, in lesser stages of development. We have reached a point where the public has replaced the God of the Universe with bureaucrats and chieftains in government. Not a good idea.

With current Federal and State mandates, biometric ID cards are increasingly being used to verify citizenship as a precursor to employment. The day is near when nobody will be able to drive their automobile, or gain employment, unless they have an ID card with face-marking biometric face scans. People will accept that system in their “right hand” as they devolve their right to freely contract by accepting government permission to contract with one another; indeed, to “buy or sell” only upon the government’s approval.

This system of digital slavery and imprisonment will extend to health care, enforcement of dietary rules and even the ability to drive your own car or pickup truck. The natural and predictable end game of the REAL ID is to enable government to shut off access to your digital currency (i.e. credit cards, Smart Phone payment apps, etc.) when you try to purchase foods the politicians have deemed “unhealthy.” Starting with model year 2025, all new vehicle sales going forward have been mandated by the feds to have remote vehicle kill switches installed in them so the government can shut off cars automatically via remote. If you are late on your child support payments, owe back taxes, or perhaps use up your allotted "carbon credits" (which is a BS scam) the government will simply shut off the car you have paid for and thought - mistakenly - was yours (It isn’t. You were tricked into giving the Manufacturer’s Certificate of Origin to the State in exchange for a Certificate of Title. The State has the MCO and is thus the true owner of the vehicle you are paying/have paid for.)

REAL ID is the ground floor of this skyscraper prison the feds have designed and built with our money and labor and not one congressman or Senator is speaking out loudly against it; certainly no Democrat would ever oppose such a dream scenario where government clamps down on human freedom and micromanages every aspect of a person's life down to the most minute detail.

America is not the land of the free; it is now the home of the slave. Identification cards are the nexus between the once free humans and the prison warden authoritarian police state the government has been building to stand against the free people for decades. It will get a lot worse unless and until we vote these stupid, moronic, evil, freedom-hating criminals out of office.
