You better start shielding all your IDs

These RFID chips are now in US Passports, US Passport Card, Enhanced Drivers License - Wahsington, NY, AZ, VT and others to com, most major credit cards including all new Amex Blue cards, all new US government employee ID cards, most transportation cards like DC Metro, Boston Charlie, Chicago, Atlanta etc. To stop your identity from being lifted via radio communications you need to keep these cards in shielded holders. Identity Stronghold actually provides sleeves to the Dept of State for the Passport card and Washington State for the Enhanced drivers license but the credit cards and transportation cards don't come with the Secure Sleeve and you must buy it yourself. Just google Identity Stronghold to find out where to buy them.

Anonymous

Personally I think that if we want to fight this we have to get this to the attention of Anonymous. You know, the Anonymous who are doing the Scientology protests.

South Carolina Response to Real ID

I was very proud of our state's legislature when they passed the legislation mandating that SC will not comply with Real ID. I just hope they and the other non-Real ID states don't cave when the feds agree to pay for it.

I wont comply!

Well since the Government continues to run wild, Lies to the people and does whatever they want, legl or not, I think I will start doing the same. Humm we learn by example right? Well I Refuse to obtain one of these IF my state does comply with REAL ID. They can TRY to do whatever they want to me but I will stand up and "Protect" myself! Enough is enough!!

The Feds have gone too far

They can kiss my Patrotic ASS. This is just the first stage of a dictator style government, when I joined the Marines, I swore to protect this country against enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC, well I guess I have to get back with some of my Patrotic Marines and let this SOCIALIST government know that they have past their limit against the people of these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. As Thomas Jefferson said,
When the people fear the government
there is TYRANNY,
When the government fear the people
there is FREEDOM.
They better bring some body bags when they come for me and mine. The people forget about Ruby Ridge, Waco,Texas, not to talk about what the IRS do to hard working people and it's ALL ILLEGAL. We need our rights back, and with Ron Paul, we can, I vote RON PAUL or NOT AT ALL.
WAKE UP AMERICA, The same thing happened to Germany, and their people are still paying for it, 63 years later, Fear started their downfall.
I'm not scared, I'M MAD AS HELL. You all should be to.

No chip my neck and leave my balls alone too!

Any thing with an ID chip or RFID strip can be microwaved for about 15 sec. It'll cook and render the chip/strip inoperatable. Run it over a degousing unit, and BINGO! No more information for you. Our government is insane and out of control. We need to put a noose around the necks of EVERY ONE of the BASTARDS in D.C. A complete and total purge. They have forgotten they work for us, are spending OUR money, and are not above the law. America is not Amerika, yet! The police state and gulags they have in mind for us, should **** US OFF to the point we revolt, violently!
All I can say to the smirking chimp occupying the white house right now is; "Get your filthy paws off me you damn dirty ape!"
