Re: [cia-drugs] US Citizens US Border Crossings Tracked
They should try and track illegal immigrants' and terrorists' border crossings first. So far, they seem to have been a complete failure at this. End the oppression of cannabis and its consumers. Self defense is always correct, and it is never illegal. b_jb2001 --- On Wed, 8/20/08, Scott Munson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Scott Munson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [cia-drugs] US Citizens US Border Crossings Tracked To: Date: Wednesday, August 20, 2008, 8:44 AM US Citizens' U.S. Border Crossings Trackedearthfirstalert- subscribe@ yahoogroups. comhttp://www.washingt onpost.com/ wp-dyn/content/ article/2008/ 08/19/AR20080819 02811.htmlhttp://www.washingt onpost.com/ wp-dyn/content/ article/2008/ 08/19/AR20080819 02811.html Border Crossing Information system, disclosed last month by the Department of Homeland Security in a Federal Register notice...

Officials say the Border Crossing Information system, disclosed last month by the Department of Homeland Security in a Federal Register notice, is part of a broader effort to guard against terrorist threats. It also reflects the growing number of government systems containing personal information on Americans that can be shared for a broad range of law enforcement and intelligence purposes, some of which are exempt from some Privacy Act protections. While international air passenger data has long been captured this way, Customs and Border Protection agents only this year began to log the arrivals of all U.S. citizens across land borders, through which about three-quarters of border entries occur. The volume of people entering the country by land prevented compiling such a database until recently. But the advent of machine-readable identification documents, which the government mandates eventually for everyone crossing the border, has made gathering the information more feasible. By June, all travelers crossing land borders will need to present a machine-readable document, such as a passport or a driver's license with a radio frequency identification chip. In January, border agents began manually entering into the database the personal information of travelers who did not have such documents. The disclosure of the database is among a series of notices, officials say, to make DHS's data gathering more transparent. Critics say the moves exemplify efforts by the Bush administration in its final months to cement an unprecedented expansion of data gathering for national security and intelligence purposes. The data could be used beyond determining whether a person may enter the United States. For instance, information may be shared with foreign agencies when relevant to their hiring or contracting decisions. Public comments are being taken until Monday, when the new system of records will be effective, the notice states. People expect to be checked when they enter the country and for the government to determine if they're admissible or not, said Greg Nojeim, senior counsel at the Center for Democracy amp; Technology. What they don't expect is for the government to keep a record for 15 years of their comings into the country. But DHS spokesman Russ Knocke said the retention period is justified. History has shown, whether you are talking about criminal or terrorist activity, that plotting, planning or even relationships among conspirators can go on for years, he said. Basic travel records can, quite literally, help frontline officers to connect the dots. The government states in its notice that the system was authorized by post-Sept. 11 laws, including the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Reform Act of 2002, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001, and the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004. Nojeim said that though the statutes authorize the government to issue travel documents and check immigration status, he does not believe they explicitly authorize creation of the database. This database is, in a sense, worse than a watch list, he said. At least in the watch-list scenario, there's some reason why the name got on the list. Here, the only thing a person does to come to the attention of DHS is to lawfully cross the border. The theory of this data collection is: Track everyone -- just in case. Under the system, officials

Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee. The action seeks an injunction preventing the senator from continuing his candidacy and a court order enjoining the DNC from nominating him next week, all on grounds that Sen. Obama is constitutionally ineligible to run for and hold the office of President of the United States. Phillip Berg, the filing attorney, is a former gubernatorial and senatorial candidate, former chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery (PA) County, former member of the Democratic State Committee, and former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania. According to Berg, he filed the suit--just days before the DNC is to hold its nominating convention in Denver--for the health of the Democratic Party. I filed this action at this time, Berg stated, to avoid the obvious problems that will occur when the Republican Party raises these issues after Obama is nominated.. Berg cited a number of unanswered questions regarding the Illinois senator's background, and in today's lawsuit maintained that Sen. Obama is not a naturalized U.S. citizen or that, if he ever was, he lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia. Berg also cites what he calls dual loyalties due to his citizenship and ties with Kenya and Indonesia. Even if Sen. Obama can prove his U.S. citizenship, Berg stated, citing the senator's use of a birth certificate from the state of Hawaii verified as a forgery by three independent document forensic experts, the issue of multi-citizenship with responsibilities owed to and allegiance to other countries remains on the table. In the lawsuit, Berg states that Sen. Obama was born in Kenya, and not in Hawaii as the senator maintains. Before giving birth, according to the lawsuit, Obama's mother traveled to Kenya with his father but was prevented from flying back to Hawaii because of the late stage of her pregnancy, apparently a normal restriction to avoid births during a flight. As Sen. Obama's own paternal grandmother, half-brother and half-sister have also claimed, Berg maintains that Stanley Ann Dunham-- Obama's mother--gave birth to little Barack in Kenya and subsequently flew to Hawaii to register the birth. Berg cites inconsistent accounts of Sen. Obama's birth, including reports that he was born at two separate hospitals--Kapiolani Hospital and Queens Hospital--in Honolulu, as well a profound lack of birthing records for Stanley Ann Dunham, though simple registry of birth records for Barack Obama are available in a Hawaiian public records office. Should Sen. Obama truly have been born in Kenya, Berg writes, the laws on the books at the time of his birth hold that U.S. citizenship may only pass to a child born overseas to a U.S. citizen parent and non- citizen parent if the former was at least 19 years of age. Sen. Obama's mother was only 18 at the time. Therefore, because U.S. citizenship could not legally be passed on to him, Obama could not be registered as a natural born citizen and would therefore be ineligible to seek the presidency pursuant to Article II, Section 1 of the United States Constitution. Moreover, even if Sen. Obama could have somehow been deemed natural born, that citizenship was lost in or around 1967 when he and his mother took up residency in Indonesia, where Stanley Ann Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian citizen. Berg also states that he possesses copies of Sen. Obama's registration to Fransiskus Assisi School In Jakarta, Indonesia which clearly show that he was registered under the name Barry Soetoro and his citizenship listed as Indonesian. The Hawaiian birth certificate, Berg says, is a forgery. In the suit, the attorney states that the birth certificate on record is a forgery, has been identified as such by three independent document forensic experts, and actually belonged to Maya Kasandra Soetoro, Sen. Obama's half-sister. Voters donated money, goods and services to elect a nominee and were defrauded by Sen. Obama's lies and obfuscations, Berg stated.

Since it's true that they can track individual cows to the box stalls where they were born, there might be some wisdom to giving a cow to each person who enters the US - legally or not. Angus for those who are lactose intolerant and Holstein for those who can consume dairy. We can track their movements by following their cow. - Original Message From: james Karl [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: cia-drugs@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 22, 2008 4:55:46 AM Subject: Re: [cia-drugs] US Citizens US Border Crossings Tracked They should try and track illegal immigrants' and terrorists' border crossings first.
