THE RFID CARD on its way

[GenerationIke]

I think that it's time I started to share with everyone my information about what I've been pmming a couple of people about lately.

I've been reading up on the topic so I could get it right and as much information to you as possible.

What I know and what I have information on--it really didn't strike me until today how and where we would be getting our RFID cards from. I do know that Charles Schumer seems to have endorsed it wholeheartedly. But of course, the proto type, I believe, was made right here in good old New York. And it has been worked on, I also believe, for a few years now right here as well.


I'll start with this much and add more later.

This story started in 1991 ( it really starts much earlier, but for this much, think 1991).

A major college here in upstate New York had a major scandal on its hands. It was learned that its then president, had taken a sabbatical to go work in Washington, DC, he told them, to help in the Persian Gulf War. As things continued to brew, someone from the college had made a call trying to locate him only to discover that that wasn't where the president was. But he was at Langley, VA doing work for of all insitututions, the CIA. He was forced to return home to explain himself. Well, he explained himself, all right. He said he was asked to come do some consulting work for them. But it was actually the other way around. He decided he wanted to go do some work for them. As things continued to unfold, it was learned this man and his executive assistant had had a heavy hand in contributing to two reports for the CIA paid for by the college: Japan 2000 and Changemasters.

(Does anybody recognize these reports?)

the first, the foreward was supposedly written by the president, but he denied he did and accused his assistant of writing it for him and signing his name to it. The other, it was widely known the assistant had written it by himself from the panel discussion of two days that was held at the college the year before.

The first report talked about how the Japanese were undermining America's economic dominance in the world and that they wanted to become the economic powerhouse. They were ruthless and would use any trick to get it done. The remarks in the book were called racist and innappropriate and untrue by many authorities. The foreigne students were outraged and some of the students were, in fact, Japanese. And many Japanese businesses were heavily contributing monies to the college to have their students attend there and learn things. In essence, it was a report trying to stir some bad stuff up between the Americans and the Japanese businesses.

The other one was a report calling on the CIA, in order to stay a viable and running institution for America, to let go of its political espionage tricks and become an agency of economic espionage because by the 21st century that is what the US would need them to do in order to stay number one.

Several names were linked to these reports, among them a Robert C. MacFarlane of Iran-Contra fame.

Needless to say, it caused a year of turmoil on the campus and finally a deep probe and months of news articles revealing what was actually going on at the school.

In essence, these two men had turned the college during their tenure there, into a first rate number one spy skool, raking in millions of CIA bucks for their research projects.

Among the research recipients was their Science of Imaging Center at the corporation that was set up by the big guy, the school's president. (spycraft in the heavens)

AND . . . get this . . . learning how to spot (or should I say make so as NOT TO BE SPOTTED) forged documents. That included id cards!

One article talked about how they were studying how to make the id cards, in fact, safer for the user, I do believe.

This is why I think our RFID cards were already formed and tested. They're just waiting for the perfect storm to introduce them

Would anyone care to guess what kind of storm?

I'll have more on my story later. And I can certainly tell you, there is alot more to this story.

With or without RFID. Techniques are ready now to follow us wherever we are. At the olympics in China, the last test by western compagnies proved positive. Big Brother is there. It only has to be installed. In the UK, it's already there.

All passports issued by the US State Department after January 1

will have always-on radio frequency identification chips, making it easy for officials – and hackers – to grab your personal stats. Getting paranoid about strangers slurping up your identity? Here’s what you can do about it.
But be careful – tampering with a passport is punishable by 25 years in prison. Not to mention the “special” customs search, with rubber gloves.
Bon voyage!

1) RFID-tagged passports have a distinctive logo on the front cover; the chip is embedded in the back.


2) Sorry, “accidentally” leaving your passport in the jeans you just put in the washer won’t work. You’re more likely to ruin the passport itself than the chip.


3) Forget about nuking it in the microwave – the chip could burst into flames, leaving telltale scorch marks.
Besides, have you ever smelled burnt passport?

4) The best approach? Hammer time. Hitting the chip with a blunt, hard object should disable it. A nonworking RFID doesn’t invalidate the passport, so you can still use it.

Do not forget....

Anyone with a recent GM vehicle then remember they ALL have OnStar*.

That means 'they' can track you whereever your vehicle is at anytime.
Even if the vehicle is off....

Hi,

If you are worried about the rfid chip here's advice that 'should work':

wrap your passport or ID card in Aluminum tin foil ...

This will create a Faraday cage, keeping electromagnetic waves outside. Although I think the RFID is a passive device the electromagnetic waves
will also stay inside in case it would be an active device.

I do NOT claim to have experience with these devices. It's a practical solution based on a theory of electromagnetics.

Cheers

RFID Cards have a fairly low reading range.
Most Chips have only a few centimeters reading range.
Even the most advanced ones work only for a few meters.
If you put an RFID card into a metallic sleeve, which are
available for sale, they cant be read anymore.

Not only can they unlock your doors, they can disable your vehicle and mess with many other(If not all) functions of your vehicle through its computer.
Now think of what else 'they' could do with OnStar.

That is true.
Of course 'they' SELL that on the public for 'our safety'....what a crock.
I really enjoy my older 2000 Park Avenue and my 2007 Camry XLE.
