Trump Throws Base Under the Bus with Real ID China-Style, National Face Recognition Database​


Real ID would have done nothing to stop the 9/11 hijackers



Unremarked by media, national identification documents have been declared "abhorrent" by the US Supreme Court. In Aptheker v. Secretary of State, (1964) the U.S. Supreme Court said:

“Free movement by the citizen is of course as dangerous to a tyrant as free expression of ideas or the right of assembly and it is therefore controlled in most countries in the interests of security. … That is why the ticketing of people and the use of identification papers are routine matters under totalitarian regimes, yet abhorrent in the United States.”
Yet this April, the Trump administration declared that it would begin enforcing the national Real ID for domestic flights, and access to federal buildings.

Former congressman and Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul writes:

"Those who hoped the second Trump Administration would reject big spending, war, and restrictions on liberty continue to be disappointed. A new disappointment came when Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced her department would in May begin enforcing the REAL ID law."

Why is the Trump administration telling a blatant lie?


The Trump administration insists that Real ID is not a national database of Americans. But the Papers Please Identity Project writes in "How the REAL-ID Act is creating a national ID database":


"One of the big lies being told by supporters of the REAL-ID Act of 2005 is that, as the DHS says on its official “Rumor Control” page, “Fact: REAL ID does not build a national database nor does it grant the Federal Government or another state access to a state’s driver’s license data.”
Even staid Wikipedia acknowledges:


"The Real ID Act of 2005 (stylized as REAL ID Act of 2005) is an Act of Congress that establishes requirements that driver licenses and identification cards issued by U.S. states and territories must satisfy to be accepted for accessing federal government facilities..The requirements include... electronic sharing of databases between states."

If different databases are linked together, and work seamlessly in answering queries and moving data, it is a "distributed" central database. Any database expert knows this. Different parts may live in different servers, but it works as one.

Not only is Real ID exactly a national central database, in which each person is assigned a unique number for the computer, the same as in communist China. The 2005 law, that previous administrations have had the good sense to let languish and not enforce, grants the Secretary of DHS the unilateral authority to add on to the requirements - the "standards" - that make a Real ID valid.


This means "vaccination" status or a "social behavior" score might be included, terminology that might be new to Americans, but not to ordinary Chinese, who know it very well.

Section 205 of the Real ID Act:

"Gives the Secretary all authority to issue regulations, set standards, and issue grants under this title."

China "social credit score" system based on national ID ranks and punishes citizens without due process





That means if a "dictator" like, for example Trump if these are your political leanings, finds, through your facial recognition scan, that you were at an anti-Israel protest, or an anti-DOGE protest, you could get a black mark added to the proper field in your Real ID profile.
That could mean no air travel for you, or no gas this month, or no gun purchases. The law leaves room for completely arbitrary behavior by the government. The Real ID Act of 2005 does not limit what the government can require for you to have a valid ID, or what it can do to you if you don't.

Come to think of it, that is exactly what they do in China. There is very little protesting the government in China. Or protesting that the tiniest fraction of the population lives like royalty, while everyone else starves on dog meat.

They also get carted off to quarantine camps by the thousands if the government says there was a new case of Covid on the block. Two of digital ID's biggest cheerleaders, Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab, say to this day that China is a splendid example of how to deal with "health emergencies" like Covid.

National Real ID Treats Only Americans as Suspects, not Foreign Tourists or International Students



But the real kicker about Real ID, and there are many, is that it can be stone-cold proven that it has nothing to do with safety. DHS has confirmed that non-Americans, such a 5 million international tourists a year and about 1 million international students, will not need it. They will be able to travel around free as jaybirds with only their paper passports, and not worry that every movement is now being tracked and stored in a monster database somewhere for the use of future tyrants.
Business Standard reports:


"Can international students and tourists travel without a Real ID?
Yes. International students and tourists travelling within the US can continue to use their foreign passports as valid identification for domestic flights and security procedures."





Demolishing the idea that Real ID is about safety is the fact that it would do not one iota to stop the 9/11 hijackers from boarding their planes today, which they did with ordinary passports, and which Real ID still allows. This is nothing against foreign nationals. It simply proves that any argument that national Real ID is about security has a hole in it you could drive a Mack truck through.

This is not about security. This is about you.


In 2022, thousands of Canadian truckers got the attention of the world by coming out in force against Justin Trudeau's Covid "vaccine" mandates, and stopped the spread of vaccine passports around the world in its tracks. It was one of the most awesome displays of People Power witnessed in modern times, maybe ever..

With Real ID, soon linked to facial recognition and even DNA "profiles," as well as someday becoming a single point for all financial transactions, the elites are ensuring that this can never happen again.



Facial Recognition is Already Built in to the National Real ID Infrastructure

It is inevitable that national Real ID will eventually include high-resolution, facial recognition scans, so detailed that you can be identified on the street in real time by street cameras. The software infrastructure for this has already built into the national Real ID standards.


The Papers Please Identity Project writes:

“Digital Image Access” (DIA) component of [Real ID] software suite... is already designed to be compatible with automated facial recognition software. The logical next step, of course, would be to add some sort of “hash” or “template” representing each photo to the corresponding SPEXS pointer record, to make it easier to carry out national photo matching and search.

DIA has been in operation since 2005, and 23 states are already making their license and ID photo databases nationally available through this network:"


National Real ID is Unconstitutional


One key argument against Real ID is that it is unconstitutional, since the Constitution enumerates the limited powers of the federal government and reserves all other powers to the states (Tenth Amendment.) The Constitution was not written to exalt government. It was written as a straitjacket on it.



Nowhere in the Constitution is there any enumerated power which would cover a national ID database, and indeed it is impossible to imagine that the Founders would have tolerated such a thing, as the Revolution was sparked in part by random searches of Colonials' homes by the British. At no time did any of the Founders say: "It's just a search."

In October 2024 The Citizens Council for Health Freedom, a non-profit organization, wrote during the public comment period for a proposed rule by the DHS regarding Real ID:



"The Constitution of the United States limits federal government reach and power. A National ID is not permitted under the Constitution, yet DHS has awarded $263 million in grant funds to states, which the proposed rule states “yielded significant progress towards full REAL ID implementation.” Neither Congress nor federal agencies have the legal authority to impose or fund the REAL ID program. Nor are they authorized to use enforcement to secure citizen submission to the REAL ID card, system, law, or regulations at any level. As legislators from Pennsylvania wrote in a January 24, 2017 letter to President Trump: “By ‘federalizing’ driver licensing the REAL ID Act usurps this power which has been reserved to the states.” The federal overreach in this proposal is also a usurpation – violation – of individual rights, most obviously under the Fourth Amendment and the Tenth Amendment."


Many states have had long-running battles against the Real ID law. Maine State Representative Gay Grant writes in The Maine Wire:

"For more than a decade, Maine’s political leaders of both major parties have been united in their opposition to the REAL ID law, and have refused to sacrifice our citizens’ right to privacy from the overreaching federal government. Past legislatures have resisted turning our state’s driver’s licenses into virtual national identity cards. REAL ID was a bad law when Congress passed it in 2005 (attached to a must-fund Iraq war funding bill), and it is still a bad law."
The well-respected technology watchdog Electronic Frontiers Foundation writes about Real ID:

"The federal government is trying to force states to turn your drivers license into a national ID. Unless you tell your state legislator to push back the Real ID Act will create grave dangers to privacy and impose massive financial burdens without improving national security in the least.

Signed into law in May 2005 without meaningful debate the Real ID Act states that drivers licenses will only be accepted for "federal purposes"—like accessing planes trains national parks and court houses—if they conform to certain uniform standards. The law also requires a vast national database linking all of the ID records together."
WTOP News reports that one of the places which may require the Real ID for entry is Arlington National Cemetery. Other "federal properties which may soon be included are all of Congress, the Smithsonian, and US National Parks.
In China only national ID-based facial recognition is allowed if you want to buy something

In January of this year Dr. Mike Yeadon, a former Chief Science Officer for Pfizer who came out strongly against the Covid "vaccine," penned a powerful essay on national digital ID, "The Hill to Die On."

I have a beef with all of them.
 
All of it. The "Patriot Act". The way we are treated at airports. Bogus raids. Confiscating people's money despite no evidence of a crime.
How are we treated at airports? I flew to Vegas a few months ago, other then wishing i had a little more leg room on the flight it was pleasant

What bogus raids? What money? What does that have to do with real ID law?
 
I dont know about this policy, I do know that if the Dens were ever to make major inroads, their best angle would be under civil liberties. If Trumps admninistration water down or undermine civil liberties the Dems can focus on that and prevent a GOP presidebt in 2028. The problem is, they prbably love such an idea and want to go further.

Facial recognition isn't very intrusive unless you're a criminal or a spy.
When we all get chips implanted so the government can track our exact location every second sounds like the next step.

THAT is the problem. We have two statist parties, each hell-bent on winning the "culture war".
 
I have a beef with all of them.
Of course, both political parties could have passed legislation to remove this law. The old adage that when social security law was passed it was never supposed to be used as identification in any way. Our slow downward spiral actually started with the insertion of credit cards into our society. Today and for a while now, we need one in many ways we live. Ideally, the elites want to remove cash. And even that is slowly reducing. Even in stores people use debit cards or credit cards more and more. People are using credit cards in stores for food and pay it off later. That is not good.
 
Brutal and ugly to watch.

That means if a "dictator" like, for example Trump if these are your political leanings, finds, through your facial recognition scan, that you were at an anti-Israel protest, or an anti-DOGE protest, you could get a black mark added to the proper field in your Real ID profile.
That could mean no air travel for you, or no gas this month, or no gun purchases. The law leaves room for completely arbitrary behavior by the government. The Real ID Act of 2005 does not limit what the government can require for you to have a valid ID, or what it can do to you if you don't.

Come to think of it, that is exactly what they do in China. There is very little protesting the government in China. Or protesting that the tiniest fraction of the population lives like royalty, while everyone else starves on dog meat.

They also get carted off to quarantine camps by the thousands if the government says there was a new case of Covid on the block. Two of digital ID's biggest cheerleaders, Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab, say to this day that China is a splendid example of how to deal with "health emergencies" like Covid.

National Real ID Treats Only Americans as Suspects, not Foreign Tourists or International Students


But the real kicker about Real ID, and there are many, is that it can be stone-cold proven that it has nothing to do with safety. DHS has confirmed that non-Americans, such a 5 million international tourists a year and about 1 million international students, will not need it. They will be able to travel around free as jaybirds with only their paper passports, and not worry that every movement is now being tracked and stored in a monster database somewhere for the use of future tyrants.
Business Standard reports:








Demolishing the idea that Real ID is about safety is the fact that it would do not one iota to stop the 9/11 hijackers from boarding their planes today, which they did with ordinary passports, and which Real ID still allows. This is nothing against foreign nationals. It simply proves that any argument that national Real ID is about security has a hole in it you could drive a Mack truck through.

This is not about security. This is about you.


In 2022, thousands of Canadian truckers got the attention of the world by coming out in force against Justin Trudeau's Covid "vaccine" mandates, and stopped the spread of vaccine passports around the world in its tracks. It was one of the most awesome displays of People Power witnessed in modern times, maybe ever..

With Real ID, soon linked to facial recognition and even DNA "profiles," as well as someday becoming a single point for all financial transactions, the elites are ensuring that this can never happen again.



Facial Recognition is Already Built in to the National Real ID Infrastructure

It is inevitable that national Real ID will eventually include high-resolution, facial recognition scans, so detailed that you can be identified on the street in real time by street cameras. The software infrastructure for this has already built into the national Real ID standards.

National Real ID is Unconstitutional


One key argument against Real ID is that it is unconstitutional, since the Constitution enumerates the limited powers of the federal government and reserves all other powers to the states (Tenth Amendment.) The Constitution was not written to exalt government. It was written as a straitjacket on it.



Nowhere in the Constitution is there any enumerated power which would cover a national ID database, and indeed it is impossible to imagine that the Founders would have tolerated such a thing, as the Revolution was sparked in part by random searches of Colonials' homes by the British. At no time did any of the Founders say: "It's just a search."

In October 2024 The Citizens Council for Health Freedom, a non-profit organization, wrote during the public comment period for a proposed rule by the DHS regarding Real ID:






Many states have had long-running battles against the Real ID law. Maine State Representative Gay Grant writes in The Maine Wire:


The well-respected technology watchdog Electronic Frontiers Foundation writes about Real ID:


WTOP News reports that one of the places which may require the Real ID for entry is Arlington National Cemetery. Other "federal properties which may soon be included are all of Congress, the Smithsonian, and US National Parks.
In China only national ID-based facial recognition is allowed if you want to buy something

In January of this year Dr. Mike Yeadon, a former Chief Science Officer for Pfizer who came out strongly against the Covid "vaccine," penned a powerful essay on national digital ID, "The Hill to Die On."

So, what did you think of the Biden administration spying on everyday Americans as if they were terrorists?
