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:


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:

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":



Even staid Wikipedia acknowledges:




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:



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:








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:




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 you support FAKE IDs for terrorists, illegals, voting and your Antifa friends?

Because he's supposed to be different. He's not

What’s he suppose to do about a law that was passed over 11 years before he took office?

Repeal it. But he's preoccupied with his revenge tour.

 

[MarathonMike]

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.

Unless the raid is by the FBI on the home of a President you hate, then it's ok, right?

 

[Delldude]

Repeal it. But he's preoccupied with his revenge tour.

WINNING

Did anyone else notice that they said that "Real IDs will be harder to counterfeit"?

Not that they cannot be.

Maybe you should read what I said about that......

To help you out......I said that both houses should have been raided or neither. I believe both were justified but I don't support selective prosecution.

How is it different than a passport? What am I missing?

REAL ID implements higher security standards for state-issued driver's licenses and ID cards, ensuring they are harder to counterfeit and more difficult to use for fraudulent purposes. These standards include features like holograms, microprinting, and security dyes, making the documents more secure and reliable for federal agencies.

Key Security Features of REAL ID:

• Holograms:
  These are advanced security features embedded into the card that change appearance when viewed from different angles.
• Microprinting:
  Very small, detailed text is printed on the card, making it difficult to replicate.
• Security Dyes:
  These are inks that change color under ultraviolet light, helping to identify counterfeit cards.
• Unique Identification Numbers:
  Each REAL ID card has a unique serial number and other identification elements, ensuring its authenticity.
• Barcodes:
  Barcodes containing encrypted data can be scanned to verify the card's validity and the information it contains.
• Photographic Information:
  REAL IDs require a clear photograph of the cardholder to help ensure the correct person is using the card.
  

These security features, along with the requirement for states to verify the identity and lawful status of applicants, contribute to making REAL ID a more secure and reliable form of identification for federal purposes.
