Systematically Speaking...

Systematically Speaking...

by Christine M. Hobson

Finally, after a year of headlines we are beginning to see the clear picture at hand when it comes to Nandan Nilekani's vision for issuing every Indian a UIN, Unique Identification Number. At first glance it would have been thought is was nothing much, possibly a variation on the US's Social Security Number. At closer inspection however, you can see many layers that one would not have imagined. Nandan Nilekani co-founded Infosys, one of India's leading information technology companies, back in 1981. After serving as its president and then CEO, he's now joined the Indian government to help lead a massive new IT project: Providing every Indian with a unique identity card. concentrate on his next great endeavor: Re-imagining India in the new millennium.


In recent weeks it has been revealed that Mr. Nilekani seeks to monetized the UIN as well as have it directly linked to ones biometrics, which would include all 10 fingerprints. Last week through the National Population Register (NPR) it was announced that the 2011 Census requirements of biometric fingerprints was to help target each person for various programs and schemes and link them directly to a system that would offer “real time population data”. This project also aims to give 1.2 billion citizens biometric identity cards that will have the ability to help millions of poor gain access to many services they otherwise would not be able to. Think about it, “To obtain the pension, the beneficiary has to implant his finger impression on a device with a business correspondent engaged by the bank and only if the impression matches with the one to whom a bio-metric card has been issued, then only the amount is released,” said SBI bank official.

Identification has always been a huge problem for India with many persons never identified from birth. Whole households with no means to identify themselves. This effects them on every level from the simple things like the purchase of a cell phone to the more useful and important services as opening a bank account, seeking employment . In most cases an address cannot be verified either because the poor live in slums or on the streets and have nothing to provide to prove who or where they are from. "This project is pro-poor and inclusive targeted mainly towards the poor. The middle class and the rich have some form of identity. People on the margins are getting lost because of lack of identity," Mr Nilekani said.

Mr. Nilekani's intention is to provide access to all persons state benefits that before only had available to those with means. Money. The whole idea is to include everyone into the System. Meaning everyone. This does not verify ones citizenship, but residency. This number will be issued from cradle to grave with no possibly of duplication. Hence for added measure the inclusion of biometrics. It has been said that India's efforts at giving every citizen an identity number is possibly one of the greatest challenges facing the government. What could this mean? Universal Financial Inclusion in India. Bank access, health insurance for all.

Nilekani is not alone in this venture, in fact he has some pretty impressive partners that seek their piece of the pie. IBM for one, and none other then Bill Gates of Microsoft. In August IBM began dialogue with partners in India to position itself in the project and shortly before Mr. Gates met with Nandan Nilekani to ensure his part in this monumental scheme. "The World Bank has offered to assist the government in re-structuring the Public Distribution System (PDS), the Delhi government is set to soon initiate a pilot project to launch its ‘cash for food’ program in the Capital. This is seen as the first step in overhauling the system." It would seem absolutely nothing should go wrong, with a Dream Team such as this put together .

In India in another three to four years, you will be known not by name, but by a unique identity (UID) number. Will this set a precedent for the rest of the world in the near future? Or have we already seen similar projects in other countries that could strip our identity and we become nothing more then a bit of information assimilated into a system. I know I have my opinion. Hopefully as this information begins to sink in, you will begin to see a bigger picture.

What is that saying? The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

It seems like such a huge undertaking to try and badge every person in India, there are so many! And from watching the movie Slumdog Millionaire, it seems that many are transcient, nomads, how are they going to tag all of them?

I'm hoping they fail, due to it being the precursor for the mark, the hardest country in the world to do this with is India, if they succeed there, it will be no difficulty to expand this to the rest of the world.

I truly wonder how many of these things are precursors of the mark and not the mark itself. I am going to speak maybe alarming words but we may be seeing the actual mark being discussed and its implementation being structured right now. Whle there are many modifications and revisions that would come along the path to getting this ready to implement by the time it is, it may just be THE TIME. I know we use our words cautiously and we know that any identifier as of yet is not THE mark because it does not have associated the mandated worship. However in very short order the plans being laid do not need to be precursors at all but indeed the actual genuine article

PlentyGroovy October 27th, 2009 05:46 AM
I say precursor because they aren't making people pledge their allegiance to the antichrist, I do agree that this is likely to be the actual mark that scripture talks about.

I believe that the mark allegience will come after the rapture, is that what everyone else thinks, too? Or do y'all think it could happen prior to the rapture?

mikitta October 27th, 2009 06:37 AM
They will be field testing something very similar to this in the US in the next 5 years. The PTB's are watching India VERY closely right now.

No this isn't THE mark, but it is a VERY close precursor.

God Bless,

Starting next year pilgrims who want to visit Makkah will have to submit to fingerprinting and provide full-face digital photographs if they wish to obtain a visa from Saudi authorities. As part of its campaign to increase security and improve border controls the desert kingdom is set to adopt biometric technology, including eye scan.


Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Prince Khaled bin Saud announced yesterday that the government was calling for tenders from specialised international firms to set up a network of centres to provide biometric services which should be up and running by 2010.

That's a lot of people that will be worshipping......

UID-UIN U Are About To Be Assimulated

by Christine M. Hobson

Once it was thought when you were born you belonged to your parents until you became of legal age. Some would call it the age of accountability. We often think ourselves “Unique” or describe ourselves as being “Our Own Person”. Think again.

In the age of modern technology it has allowed Global Governance to persuade us to systematically give up our most precious qualities that separate us from one another. In a day where Identity and transparency are the buzz words de'jour, we are no longer viewed through the eyes of the beholder, instead measured as a bit of information gathered to be stored.

Is the Mark a thing? Or a System?

The Mark isn't a tattoo, or even a chip . It's not even about "666". It is a Complete System: “The Mark has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The stress on identity is just a component for all the other components."

Deception: India's Unique Identification Scheme


Why so many number's Christine? It is the number one question I get asked, that and, "What difference does one more make? There are many names for identification numbers and many different purposes they all serve. If you were born here in the USA and a US citizen you have already been supplied and identified as number from birth with what is called your Social Security Number SSN. What purpose has this number and how has it served you in your life?

An even more interesting question however might be is "Why is the world so obsessed with Identification Authentication these days"?

In India we are witnessing the birth of an entirely New System of Identification. A UID/UIN.
What is a UID?
UID- Unique or Universal Identification

What is a UIN?
UIN- Unique or Universal Identification Number

What is the difference between the two?

The UID is a System in which the UIN is able to be implemented as an assigned numeric marker to every citizen via a calculated algorithm that accounts for all collected data. To make it "Unique" your personal biometrics ie. fingerprints/iris scan are collected and stored; attached directly to your UIN to make it the most personal identification possible without the risk of fraud.

Anything that can be related to your identity no longer is yours alone but complied, collected and archived at a Data Collection Agency that are located around the globe. There 3 main categories of distinction within the UID System that are of most importance in our lives that will be controlled by this Marker "Number". Those are Medical, Financial and Governmental Institutions.

UID-UIN, U Are Being Assimilated

The Mark: A Single Act or a Complete System? Part. 1



System: (from Latin systēma, in turn from Greek σύστημα systēma) is a set of interacting or interdependent entities forming an integrated whole.

Subsystem: A subsystem is a set of elements, which is a system itself, and a part of a larger system.

I will be beginning here, as it's important to establish the elements that make up what I consider to be the system as a whole.

What makes the system? Embodies this system?
Quote:
The Mark is not a tattoo or a chip just or even just about the "666". It is a Complete System.: “The Mark has Religious, Legal, Political, Economic and Military components. The stress of identity is just a component for all the other components."
And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:17

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:18

In this piece I will attempt to answer The Who, What, Why, When & Where question of "The System of the Mark of the Beast". By establishing this we can identify and possibly discover we are already well underway.

UID (Universal or Unique Identification) is a System. The UIN (Universal or Unique Identification Number) is the Subsystem. These would be the Methods, Biometric Authentication Applications, National/Voter/Health ID, Micro-chip Implants etc.

The System

System and Method for Universal Identification of Biological Humans

Quote:
A system and method for uniquely identifying each human being and generate a Universal Identification Number (UIN) to aid tracking. UIN database comprises of (public), (health), and (confidential) information.
The question here...Why a Identity Number?

The number issued for display on UIN Identity Card and used for accessing data on-line protects privacy of the individual by hiding sensitive information. Medical emergency data is provided to authorized hospitals and medical practitioners for advance preparedness to save lives. UIN database is accessible to law enforcement agencies, when authorized under specific circumstances. UIN prevents identity fraud by protecting unique identity of every human and helps in tracing lost or wanted people. UIN fulfills a pending need for technological system to eliminate child abduction, identity fraud, credit card theft, and help in saving lives of people.Future UIN applications relate to biosensor integrated device interacting with radio signals for monitoring and rescuing patients.

To summarize,

A system for unique human identification and associated method and steps to capture and store data and DNA samples related to issue of Universal Identification Number (UIN) and a subsequent retrieval process for human identification and tracking involving various applications viz. medical emergencies, public domain interest profile, and confidential data by authorized agencies.


If you have not visited my new site http://www.worlduin.com , Now would be a great time to jump in and start following the astounding developments coming out of India. They give us a first hand glimpse at the building of the system. A few stories for your consideration cover each of the above mentioned Subsystems.

These below would be in the (Confidential) Information Subsystem

Unique Identification Number UIN may be mandatory

Nandan Nilekani Calls For A Policy On Privacy

Fingerprinting scan during 2011 census for UID scheme

I will continue to break these down as we move step by step through this together answering any questions you may have that can be emailed to me at discerning.the.times@gmail.com

It will be a form of chattel slavery. Worship the Beast, you get the mark. Get the mark, you get access to "their" economic system. I agree with most here. The world is close to having the wherewithal to implement such a system. I had always thought that the "cashless society" would be the first precursor to the system of the mark, but that is no longer necessary. Without the mark, the means to pay for something becomes moot anyway.

You get what I was saying. I don't think I was very clear. Simply there may not be a real "precursor" here. Meaning a system adapted to mark humans for buying and selling et al. What these people may be describing skips precursor. They might be actually discussing the implementation of the Actual mark even though they have know idea of the antichrist worship tie in yet. They are busy bees going about their work to get the system up and running and BAM rapture happens and the very same system they were working on is attached to the BEAST system worship and all.

UID to be catalyst for financial inclusion

Provision of a unique identity (UID) for person comprising his or her demographic and biometric details will become a power catalyst for achieving financial inclusion in the country, according to Nandan Nilekani, chairman of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).


Nilekani said the UID would provide online authentication services and anyone could go to any authentication centre in the country, which would authenticate the person's identity. This online authentication could be done even through a cell phone.

He said if the banks had business correspondents (BCs) in villages equipped with a mobile phone, a finger print reader and an ATM-kind of software, cash transactions could be done at the village itself. For instance, an NREG worker could go to any BC and withdraw money because UID would be an open architecture.
“Getting the payment infrastructure right is the first step for getting financial inclusion of the poor,” Nilekani said while delivering the foundation day lecture at the Institute for Development and Research in Banking Technology (IDRBT) here on Wednesday.

Intel eyes UID project; to ride on biometrics, computing expertise

Leveraging its experience in the field of biometrics and leadership in the computing space, the world’s largest chip maker, Intel, hopes to attract a significant pie of the business that will arise from the Indian government’s Unique Identity (UID) project, which is headed by former Infosys head Nandan Nilekani.


Biometrics (which includes fingerprint, face and iris recognition) and computing power hold the keys to Nilekani’s UID project.

UID to empower the poor: Nilekani



The head of the Unique Identification Authority says it’s a number, not a card, and the number walks with you.

Nearly two months into his new job as the head of the Unique Identification Authority of India, Nandan Nilekani says the real beneficiary of the project will be the poor who have no identity at present.

“The UID project is really for the huge number of people who are outside the system. For the poor, this is a huge benefit because they have no identity, no birth certificates, degree certificates, driver’s licence, passport, no address. There are 75 million homeless people in this country, 75 million tribals. So if we are able to help them get the number then we can actually empower them,” Nilekani says.

RBI to rope in more entities for UID project

Quote:
HYDERABAD: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is set to rope in more entities, such as owners of kirana stores, medical shops, petrol pumps, as business correspondents and also ramp up the range of services to be offered by them.
Quote:
The services will include allowing business correspondents to authenticate the unique identification number (UID) of a customer and function like a micro-ATM. The move will help provide over 41% of India’s unbanked population access to banking facilities.
Quote:
Business correspondents are allowed to do banking business as agents. “Even an owner of a kirana store could be a business correspondent equipped with a phone, a finger print reader, a software that mimicks an ATM and allows a person to withdraw, say, cash in remote villages that do not have bank branches. The finger print reader will authenticate the beneficiary and allow him to undertake a financial transaction,”

All your 10 fingerprints may be captured or an eye scan done during the upcoming 2011 census that will come in handy for the ambitious government project which aims at giving a unique number to every resident in the country.

The Unique Identification Number (UID) scheme, which is expected to roll out the first number in 12-18 months, will be first conferred on the beneficiaries of the the centre's flagship programme under the NREGA (National Rural Employment Guarantee Act).

But the specific 16-digit number, which will be unique to an individual, will not confer on anyone any rights including citizenship, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) Chairman Nandan Nilekani said.

I wonder how the people of India feel about this...

one reaction:

Quote:
I’m against obsessive tracking of this sort. The more information on a smart card, the more chance of it’s being misused.

Luckily, there will only be a number instead of a card. No Indian must be forced to carry a card to “prove himself”. Otherwise it will lead to serious infractions of personal liberties such as the right to move the country freely.

The Police must never be given the power to ask for your Identity card and detain you if you don’t have one. That makes for a police state.

THANK YOU!!! This information is truly needed.

The NDTV (New Delhi TV) story was surreal!! I thought I was watching the future!!


How easy it is to make sound soooooo fabulous:

It will help the poor.
It will track your medical records.
It will help help help you do lots of things....and you are right. No more cash. Just wave your hand...

This is just my opinion but....

It's not about the card......it's about the number

It's not about the chip....it's about the number

Cards and chips are just transponders to carry the information. But the access to unlock the information requires a fingerprint/iris (what makes you uniquely you) & your (electronic signature-mark) and number, your measurement, everything about you.

Quote:
14. In accordance with claim 1, the UIN shall, work as part of an integrated scheme and system that aims at eliminating terrorism, protecting identity, prevent frauds and is an attempt towards making this world a better place to be by Global Integration. UIN shall be subsequently supplemented by a tracking device that operates through satellite and radio signals, and the integrated system would become HITS (Human Identification and Tracking System).

Is strong online identity just around the corner?


Quote:
While he wouldn’t say which agency would issue the credentials or how they would be used, but he did say there are activities in store for the next year around health care, the IRS and Social Security Administration.

“We’re going to see more of an emphasis on communities of people demanding better means of identity as they move into the digital world,” says Neville Pattinson, vice president of government affairs and standards at Gemalto.

Health care is a market where the identification industry needs to focus. “There’s a great deal of concern about health care,” Pattinson says. “Money is heading in that direction and this may be the coattails we live off of to create an identity infrastructure.”

I'm curious about the significance of a 16 digit number. Can you be more specific? I mean, I know the passage in Rev 13 re: 666, the number of a man, etc. What does 16 digits have to do with that? Forgive me for being a dummy on this one.

ChrisMarie October 28th, 2009 06:45 PM
No Apologies necessary.

Disclaimer, this of course is JUST MY OPINION!

The number itself is a compilation of information that is fed into a system that computes (counts) via an algorithm. The number is a password, such as a PIN would be used to access an account. In simple terms, it verifies who you are you are instead of your name being your your identity. You become a digitized number.

Now biometrics is the the measurement of you. The (number of a man) Biometrics, is simply Geometry. Interesting tid bit, Islam is actually responsible for both maths. Look into Islamic Math (Golden Ratio). This is most interesting for me, because I do believe the Beast to come from this system (Islam) and of course if that is the case than so would "His Mark". Again keeping with a System and a Epicenter in the East.

Quote:
Mathematics in medieval Islam or sometimes referred to as Islamic mathematics is a term used in the history of mathematics that refers to the mathematics developed in the Islamic world between 622 and 1600, in the part of the world where Islam was the dominant religion. Islamic science and mathematics flourished under the Islamic caliphate (also known as the Islamic Empire) established across the Middle East, Central Asia, North Africa, Sicily, the Iberian Peninsula, and in parts of France and India in the 8th century. The center of Islamic mathematics was located in Persia (including eastern part of present-day Iraq) , but at its greatest extent stretched from North Africa and Spain in the west and to India in the east.[1]

While most scientists in this period were Muslims and wrote in Arabic, a great portion and many of the best known of the contributors were of Persian origin[2][3] but there were also Berbers, Arabs, Moors, Turks, and sometimes different religions (Muslims, Christians, Jews, Sabians, Zoroastrians, irreligious).[4]. Arabic was the dominant language—much like Latin in Medieval Europe, Arabic was used as the chosen written language of most scholars throughout the Islamic world.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_mathematics

From the Patent
Quote:
3. The method in accordance with claim 2, wherein the association date in the said UIN (as unique human identifier) comprises of a date that shall normally be the issue date for UIN. If the UIN issue date and associated name characters and the computer-generated alphanumeric characters for the issue date are non-available, then the association date is picked from those available from one of the previous dates in a time-horizon window, as explained in the attachments appended to this application.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. Revelation 13:18

A little about your Personal Signature or,(Mark)

From this article:

Quote:
13-1-116. Fingerprint, mark, or agent for disabled electors -- rulemaking. (1) Except as otherwise specified by law, the provisions of this section apply.
(2) Whenever a signature is required by an elector under a provision of this title and the elector is unable because of a disability to provide a signature, the elector may provide a fingerprint, subject to subsection (6), or an identifying mark or may request that an agent, election administrator, or election judge sign for the elector as provided in this section.
(3) If an elector is unable to provide a fingerprint or an identifying mark and the elector has not established an agent pursuant to subsection (4), the election administrator or an election judge may sign for the elector after reviewing and verifying the elector's identification.

(4) (a) An elector who is unable to provide a signature may apply to the election administrator to have another person designated as an agent for purposes of providing a signature or identifying mark required pursuant to this title and for delivering the disabled elector's absentee ballot application to the county election administrator as provided in 13-13-213.

(b) An application for designation of an agent by an elector under this section must be made on a form prescribed by the secretary of state. The secretary of state shall by rule establish the criteria that must be met and the process that must be followed in order for a person to become a designated agent for a disabled elector pursuant to this subsection (4).

(5) If an agent, election administrator, or election judge signs or marks a document for an elector pursuant to this section, the agent, election administrator, or election judge shall initial the signature or mark.
(6) A disabled elector may not be required to provide a fingerprint.
http://law.justia.com/montana/codes/13/13-1-116.html

This is JMO, now in posting this what I am pointing out is an instance in which the fingerprint of the person is seen as "A Mark", a Identity. When unable to just simply provide a signature. The Mark becomes the signature of the person and uniquely identifies himself as said person voting.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

Let me explain it this way.

How do we calculate this? With Geometry

Yes the Number of man is 6.

But this number, is a equation to show to cipher, that a calulation is being done, not three number "666", This why it is spelled out as it is, 600+60+6.......But the actual number that is calculated is your unique identification number that is obtained via geometric calculation, it is then strung together via a series of algorithms to connect the information such as DNA, Fingerprint, Iris, Etc (Your Measurement). This RFID always talked, is about simply the means that holds the information.

So you may not even see the number 666 on your card, doesn't matter in mho, the number 6 is used in this scripture to point out that "IT IS THE NUMBER OF MAN." A man, A person, a individual, you.

The Measure of Man. Who will be measured before the throne one day.

Look at how much attention is given in the Bible when discussing measurements. I mean very precise at that.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for the number is that of a man; and his number is six hundred and sixty-six. Revelation 13:18

Finger impression-fingerprint

History of fingerprinting for identification from: Wiki

Quote:
Fingerprints have been found on ancient Babylonian clay tablets, seals, and pottery[13][14][15][16]. They have also been found on the walls of Egyptian tombs and on Minoan, Greek, and Chinese pottery — as well as on bricks and tiles in Babylon and Rome. Some of these fingerprints were deposited unintentionally by workers during fabrication; sometimes the fingerprints served as decoration. However, on some pottery, fingerprints were impressed so deeply that they were likely intended to serve as the equivalent of a brand label.

Fingerprints were also used as substitutes for signatures. In Babylon from 1885-1913 B.C.E., in order to protect against forgery, parties to a legal contract impressed their fingerprints into the clay tablet on which the contract had been written. By 246 B.C.E., Chinese officials impressed their fingerprints in clay seals, which were used to seal documents. With the advent of silk and paper in China, parties to a legal contract impressed their handprints on the document. Sometime before 851 C.E., an Arab merchant in China, Abu Zayd Hasan, witnessed Chinese merchants using fingerprints to authenticate loans.[17] By 702 C.E., Japan had adopted the Chinese practice of sealing contracts with fingerprints.

Although the ancient peoples probably did not realize that fingerprints could identify individuals,[18] references from the age of the Babylonian king Hammurabi (1792-1750 B.C.E.) indicate that law officials fingerprinted people who had been arrested.[19] In China around 300 C.E. handprints were used as evidence in a trial for theft. In 650 C.E., the Chinese historian Kia Kung-Yen remarked that fingerprints could be used as a means of authentication.[20] In his Jami al-Tawarikh [Universal History], Persian physician Rashid-al-Din Hamadani (a.k.a. "Rashideddin") (1247-1318) comments on the Chinese practice of identifying people via their fingerprints: "Experience shows that no two individuals have fingers exactly alike."[21]Supposedly, in Persia at this time, government documents were authenticated with thumbprints.[22]

Some commentators claim that the Quran, from the 7th century CE, refers to fingerprints:

"Does man think that WE Cannot assemble his bones? Nay, WE are able to put Together in perfect order The very tips of his fingers." [QUR'AN 75:3-4][23]
Your fingerprint is unique to you only.
When identifying a person's fingerprint, it is done by calculating distance between lines, ridges. A mathematical equation.

Who you say the Beast is...
Is where you say he's from.
Where you say he's from, is what he is; and what's of him.
His Mark.

National Identification System to resume next month

Executive Secretary of the national identification Authority, (NIA), Dr. William Ahadzi says, the exercise will be of great benefit to the nation because it has a multi-purpose identity card.

He said the process has been divided into three phases.


Quote:
The first phase involves the mass registration for eligible Ghanaians especially those residing abroad as well as non Ghanaian residents in the country.


Quote:
He said beyond the mass registration is the biometric registration which involves collecting closer detailed information like address, location, sex, finger prints and a scan of the iris of the eye.

Debt Cancellation

Debt Cancellation......Oh Jubilation.....

This is obviously an older story-
Quote:
WASHINGTON, Sep 25 (IPS) - The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have agreed that the debts owed by 18 of world's poorest countries to them and to the African Development Bank will be cancelled "outright" and "upfront", bringing an end to the suspense surrounding the issue for nearly three months.

The Group of Eight (G8) most industrialised countries had proposed complete debt cancellation without conditions for these countries. The deal was left to be approved by the Bank and IMF during their annual meetings, which concluded Sunday. Both institutions have agreed to cancel the debts.

The countries whose debt will be erased are Benin, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guyana, Honduras, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.

It is important to note that all these countries are among the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC), a category established by the Bank and IMF in 1996. HIPC created a process of debt relief for extremely poor countries, which have to meet highly controversial conditions to qualify, such as large-scale privatisation of utilities like water and other state-owned enterprises, removal of subsidies on basic goods, and trade liberalisation, set by the two institutions.

As such, all the 18 countries in question have already fulfilled the IMF and World Bank conditions.
What exactly were the conditions? What could be involved?

Cancel debt, World Bank dared
Quote:
IF the World Bank wants to help the country survive the global economic recession, it should “walk the talk” and begin the process of debt cancellation, according to the Freedom from Debt Coalition (FDC).

In a statement, the FDC said on Monday that due to the automatic debt-service law, and the government underspending amid low revenues and unabashed borrowings to fill in the deficit, the possibility the country will sink into a recession is becoming clearer.
http://www.businessmirror.com.ph/hom...ank-dared.html

I am looking for a connections to the cancellation of debts on the Global scale and Biometrics.

Ghanaians to vote biometrically in 2016 elections

Quote:
Ghana’s enthusiastic efforts to consolidate democracy are growing day by day as the government has hinted that plans are at foot for Ghanaians to vote biometrically in the 2016 general elections.
Quote:
According to him, “As most of you may be aware in Ghana and in many African countries there are calls for the introduction of e-voting processes.

Additionally, discussions are going in many circles in Ghana and elsewhere on the continent for the introduction of biometric voters register”.
Quote:
Studies conducted by World Bank in 2006 revealed that 85% of electronic government (egovernment) implementation in Africa had recorded various degrees of failures. This revelation is worrying.

Mr. Iddrisu therefore called for the intensification of collaborative research activities between governments and independent bodies to review some of the initiatives being planned on the continent as well as reviewing the existing prorammes and initiatives.

Quote:
Background:

At the July 2005 G8 Summit in Gleneagles, Scotland, G8 leaders pledged to cancel the debt of the world’s most indebted countries, most of which are located in Africa. Debt cancellation will be provided by the International Development Association IDA of the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the African Development Fund to countries that have graduated (called reaching the “completion point”) from the Enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative.



Initially, 17 HIPC countries will be eligible for 100 percent debt cancellation: Benin, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guyana, Honduras, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia. Mauritania has completed the HIPC program, but will qualify for relief after implementing key public expenditure management reforms. The remaining HIPC countries will be eligible for debt cancellation once they have completed the requirements of the HIPC Initiative.

There is nothing to stop this from being done. The wheels were set into motion decades ago from everything such as social security cards, bar coding food and merchandise (assigning a number), ration cards, licenses, voter registration, Identification numbers such as PIN (access), VIN (ownership) etc. This is how we've lived for the past 70 years. The last 3 generations have just become accustomed to technologically advanced that many have not batted and eye and have just moved along in the progression of... this is just life.

I find this question compelling:
Quote:

In my personal opinion as stated above I do believe there to be an epicenter of this system and that to be in the Mideast region. Thinking in those terms, I can envision a pebble thrown into the pond effect with an outward ripple. With the crush of Islam in the region spreading outward I can easily see the demand of worship of Islam, all works required such as hajj being a form of, if not the worship. The inability to buy, sell, or trade will undoubtedly effect us all, but then again, some more then others. Without the proper biometrics entered into the system, one would not have any access to any of the above mentioned privileges.

Yep. If you remember, something similar happened in Austria and Germany. First it was different groups and meetings offered, church structure slowly changed.. You had to have the NSDAP flag in the church.. stop singing certain hymns or preaching certain passages... then BAM - if you were investigated you had to pledge allegience to the NSDAP and the Führer.

Makes you wanna say :snapoutofit every time you find more and more on this stuff and see people gobble it up.

Pakistan ahead of USA and India in developing identity systems: Deputy Chairman NADRA


Islamabad: With registration of over 85% of the country’s adult population using both biometric and facial recognition systems, Pakistan is way ahead of USA and India who are in a very premature stage of unique identity systems; this was stated by Tariq Malik, Deputy Chairman, and National Database & Registration Authority.

In his keynote address at the 8th Annual Smart Cards Government Conference 2009, at Washington DC, USA, Tariq Malik said "Pakistan takes pride in establishing the world largest biometric citizen database, thus enabling elected government to use identity infrastructure to roll out financial support and other programs for benefit of its citizens".

Do you know why?


Because it makes human logical sense. It in and of itself is amoral. It is science. It is technology making things work. But furthermore . . .



It takes the place of the need for the Holy Spirit to hold back an increasingly more wicked public and give the control over to the state.

Normally the power of the Holy Spirit using the believers would hold back evil and the law written on the hearts of all men would still be effective but now it is seared and the believers are less of an influence soon to be gone. The Antichrist needs the third part of his trinity and IMHO it is "Forces" or Technology. He needs a force to help control the people and influence them to do his will.

So we need for people to pay their taxes. Solution: RFID all items pass a vat and make people pay a consumer tax and not a payroll tax. Tax problems solved. (Replacement for conscience)

Problem: We need to make sure that people taking mass transit are "safe" and still be able to quickly move them throughout their business. Solution: Chip the predesignated safe ones with RFID and let them move through unobstructed. (Replacement for conscience)

Problem: Rapant violent robberies Solution: Do away with cash and have all transactions conducted through credits. (Replacement for conscience)

Problem: Violent handgun murders Solutions: RFID Chip the owners so that their gun only fires in the hand of the RFID chipped and approved Licensee (Replacement for conscience)

Problem: Medical Costs and recording of medical procdures are costing too much in both dollars and care. Solutions: RFID Chip patients and all good given. System automatically collects and charges for all good and services given to each patient. Lower healthcare costs and trasncription time (I personally worked in this area)

Problem: Shoplifting costing stores Dollars. Solution: RFID all items with individual coding so that alerts are set off at every location an unpaid item passes and who'se RFID chip is associated with that item. (Replacement for conscience)

And On and On and On.

I read alot of these and often don't respond because I don't think I'm as eloquent as others in responding for one. I may be like others- I have an opinion but am afraid I'll look like a complete idiot if I express it (as if I probably don't already do that anyway) :lol

I pay alot of attention to this technological/system stuff. It's fascinating. I see things forming at a very rapid pace. What it will eventually look like is anyone's guess. But we've shifted into higher gear in recent years that's for sure.

No I think most of us know this isn't the mark but I am one of those who believe - the system and the technology will long be "common" (normal) long before the "mark" is forced on people

This could become an accepted - normal way to do business in the very near future. 10 years ago I would have never imagined going for years before having to order checks. We did all our business by checks. I paid everything by check. Would never use the card for stuff like paying bills or whatever.

I just had to order checks and person who took the order told me the last order was back in 2003. It was 1 box- that's lasted me 6 years!

Four months after MTN’s Mobile Money launched in Ghana, it has 20,000 users and 1,200 merchants. Uptake has been slow, but as Bruno Akpaka states here in an interview with Paul Leishman,Programme Manager at Mobile Money for the Unbanked (GSMA), MTN has high hopes for the product.

The Mobile Money program requires subscribers to register their SIM chip using a photo ID at an MTN service center or a partner bank. Then, he can use his Mobile Money account at any one of 1,200 authorized merchants. The merchants have to have a bank account at any one of Mobile Money’s partners.

Workforce Management: Beyond Time and Attendance

Keeping track of employee attendance is no small task, but far too often it is conducted using somewhat primitive manual procedures. Reducing cheating on hours and handling payrolls more efficiently may be enough to justify the use of T&A software and services. However, it can play a role in managing many other workforce issues, including worker safety, scheduling and predictive analysis.

This is not the mark.

Fingerprints are not the mark. Believers have fingerprints and those who take the mark are thrown into hell. The mark will be externally imposed on mankind visibly and possibly internal.

No, not the Mark, yet. It was an example to address Antsy's question about employee's.I'm mearly pointing out the conditioning of the biometric technology that we've all become so comfortable, complacent and dependant upon .

Do you know why?


Because it makes human logical sense. It in and of itself is amoral. It is science. It is technology making things work. But furthermore . . .



It takes the place of the need for the Holy Spirit to hold back an increasingly more wicked public and give the control over to the state.

Normally the power of the Holy Spirit using the believers would hold back evil and the law written on the hearts of all men would still be effective but now it is seared and the believers are less of an influence soon to be gone. The Antichrist needs the third part of his trinity and IMHO it is "Forces" or Technology. He needs a force to help control the people and influence them to do his will.

So we need for people to pay their taxes. Solution: RFID all items pass a vat and make people pay a consumer tax and not a payroll tax. Tax problems solved. (Replacement for conscience)

Problem: We need to make sure that people taking mass transit are "safe" and still be able to quickly move them throughout their business. Solution: Chip the predesignated safe ones with RFID and let them move through unobstructed. (Replacement for conscience)

Problem: Rapant violent robberies Solution: Do away with cash and have all transactions conducted through credits. (Replacement for conscience)

Problem: Violent handgun murders Solutions: RFID Chip the owners so that their gun only fires in the hand of the RFID chipped and approved Licensee (Replacement for conscience)

Problem: Medical Costs and recording of medical procdures are costing too much in both dollars and care. Solutions: RFID Chip patients and all good given. System automatically collects and charges for all good and services given to each patient. Lower healthcare costs and trasncription time (I personally worked in this area)

Problem: Shoplifting costing stores Dollars. Solution: RFID all items with individual coding so that alerts are set off at every location an unpaid item passes and who'se RFID chip is associated with that item. (Replacement for conscience)

And On and On and On.

I read alot of these and often don't respond because I don't think I'm as eloquent as others in responding for one. I may be like others- I have an opinion but am afraid I'll look like a complete idiot if I express it (as if I probably don't already do that anyway) :lol

I pay alot of attention to this technological/system stuff. It's fascinating. I see things forming at a very rapid pace. What it will eventually look like is anyone's guess. But we've shifted into higher gear in recent years that's for sure.

No I think most of us know this isn't the mark but I am one of those who believe - the system and the technology will long be "common" (normal) long before the "mark" is forced on people

This could become an accepted - normal way to do business in the very near future. 10 years ago I would have never imagined going for years before having to order checks. We did all our business by checks. I paid everything by check. Would never use the card for stuff like paying bills or whatever.

I just had to order checks and person who took the order told me the last order was back in 2003. It was 1 box- that's lasted me 6 years!

Mobile Money Comes to Ghana

Four months after MTN’s Mobile Money launched in Ghana, it has 20,000 users and 1,200 merchants. Uptake has been slow, but as Bruno Akpaka states here in an interview with Paul Leishman,Programme Manager at Mobile Money for the Unbanked (GSMA), MTN has high hopes for the product.

The Mobile Money program requires subscribers to register their SIM chip using a photo ID at an MTN service center or a partner bank. Then, he can use his Mobile Money account at any one of 1,200 authorized merchants. The merchants have to have a bank account at any one of Mobile Money’s partners.

Workforce Management: Beyond Time and Attendance

Keeping track of employee attendance is no small task, but far too often it is conducted using somewhat primitive manual procedures. Reducing cheating on hours and handling payrolls more efficiently may be enough to justify the use of T&A software and services. However, it can play a role in managing many other workforce issues, including worker safety, scheduling and predictive analysis.

Govt to keep hawk eye on foreigners

[quote]The Centre will launch a massive security exercise, which will involve keeping an eye on all foreign nationals visiting India.

The move comes in the wake of the David Coleman Headley episode. The US national was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently for trying to come to India and carry out a terror attack here at the behest of the Lashkar-e-Taiba.

The Indian government, through at least a dozen agencies, will soon be keeping a hawk eye on each foreigner visiting India-from the time she or he applies for an Indian visa till her or his stay ends.

Prediction: Mass market for mHealth sensors

One of the key enabling technologies for the wireless health market is wireless sensors — BandAid-like, peel-and-stick biometric sensors that also include low-power, short range wireless radios. Similar sensors may be implantable or embedded in our sneakers like Nike+. Examples of the peel-and-stick variety include the calorie tracking sensor that Philometron is developing, the EEG sensor from sleep monitoring start-up NeuroVigil or the intelligent medicine sensor from Proteus Biomedical.

Currently, each of these companies’ offerings are not on the consumer market. Philometron has kept mum on any partners it may have, NeuroVigil just announced a clinical trials agreement with Roche and Proteus Biomedical is working with Novartis in clinical trials. Wireless health sensors are a clinical play today, but in the next five years they may be as commonly used as smartphones, at least according to one prediction:

No fingerprints here with our license, well not in our state anyways. I do know some health insurances as well as some welfare programs. This card has etching all over it. It is supposed to also have rfid.

How the card can be multipurpose for us:
Quote:
Debit Card (Before transaction the person has to enter its last four digits of virtual Debit cards)

Credit Card (before transaction the person have to enter its last four digits of virtual cards)

No need to keep foreign currency or Indian rupee in India.

Bank Account opening, No need to file any paper just swap your and guarantor’s card.

In NREGA the contractor will file your card code in his register and you will get your payment in bank account.

Employee just enter his/ her UID in the time of joining, his/ her all record will update with current employer.

Just fill only your UID card no. in Online Tax returns; it will automatically deduct your tax after rebate (LIC, 80G, and Investment). Here no need to get refund and govt. can save thousands of cr. Rupees of interest.

During the shopping in your area you have to swap your card and insert the pin for transactions. For this we have to reduce transition charges till 0.5%.
This card will be our driving license. On this card a picture will be published of authorized driving vehicle. (White car for pvt., and yellow car for commercial).

Our all the personal records like, height, finger prints and education will be feed on it.

Card holder can cast his/ her vote any where in India through ATM or any information kiyosk with the help of this card. (The person will enter its card in voting machine and soon all candidate lists will be available of his/ her locality in touch panel voting machine.

No one cay buy or sell any property without UID card. Through it we can control the black money and confirm that how much property is belongs to this person. Govt. can provide subsidy to whom have not any flat or property and get extra tax who have already flat or property.

Through this card govt. will deduct Electricity bill, Water bill, house tax or other bills itself. No need to go anywhere to submit your bill. (It should be applicable in A B and C category of Cities).

ChrisMarie November 3rd, 2009 12:24 AM
<~~~~ Is not saying our driver's license is The Mark. Again I'm looking at the System of UID and this license now has a UIN. Currently I'm observant of the system as a whole.

Question how to you feel about accepting a Unique ID Number? How to you feel about leaving your biometrics behind at places that require them? You can't even trade in or sell at our local pawn shop without giving a thumbprint anymore.

What one step are you away from? Where is the line drawn? Do you stand in line, lay down in defeat or sit in as in protest?

UK Broadband Tax will force 100,000 homes to give up internet
Quote:
...TalkTalk said that the broadband levy was an "unfair tax" that would prove counterproductive, and that the Government should instead focus on enabling private sector investment and encouraging effective competition.

“When broadband first started people said the networks would only reach 60 per cent of the population,” said Mr Dunstone. “The private sector, unaided, actually got to 99 per cent coverage, far further than in most other countries. . .
Basically "ensure it's in every home, but don't tax those who are already economically pinched -- find another way to make it affordable for everyone.

Access Control Doctor: Biometrics or not?

Adam Stroud of Paxton Access answers installers’ questions. This month: biometric access control...

Quote:
Q: Should I be installing biometrics?

A:
As we all know, biometric readers use unique human properties to identify people. There are a wide range of technologies out there and all of them require you to present a bit of yourself for electronic examination.

The different types of biometric reader range from devices that measure the geometry of your hand, to retina scanners and facial recognition systems. They all do the same thing; make sure that you are you, albeit with varying degrees of accuracy and cost.

Walking around a security exhibition, you would be forgiven for thinking that the vast majority of access control systems being installed today use biometric readers. It is, however, RFID proximity tokens that are by far the most widely used.

In some situations, biometric technology does have its advantages. There are two ways that biometric readers can be employed; identification and verification. Here's a rundown of both...

Korea Plans to Fingerprint, Photograph Foreign Visitors

The Cabinet approved a revision bill Tuesday that would make it mandatory for foreigners entering Korea to be fingerprinted and photographed from 2012.

Under the measure, all foreigners over the age of 17, excluding diplomats and those traveling on official duty, must have their fingerprints scanned and be photographed upon entry.

Currently, Koreans are required to register their fingerprint information and photos at the age of 17.

The gates are designed to allow only one person to enter at a time, but security guards will monitor the gate through closed-circuit televisions and can override the system if someone enters with small children, according to the newspaper.

Oxendine said the unmanned systems will save money by eliminating some security guard positions.

The Case for a Digital Social Security Card

The Case for a Digital Social Security Card

Is it time for a Social Security card makeover? Not the whole program, just the card. Today, the Social Security card is a piece of paper with a number on it that probably sits in a drawer at home. Social Security numbers, on the other hand, are all over the place. Employers, banks, credit card issuers and bureaus, insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, government agencies and others use Social Security numbers to identify all of us.
Quote:
The paper card could be replaced with a credit card-sized piece of plastic that contains a small computer, or microprocessor, with special security software that actively protects the owner's Social Security number.
Quote:
The secure computer and biometric in the card provide digital verification. It is easily carried, works both online and in person, and the owner's own fingerprint biometric and other security features protect against the misuse of a lost or stolen card.

Teacher Claims Fingerprinting Is ‘Mark of the Beast’

A 22-year veteran kindergarten teacher in the Texas Bible Belt could lose her job for refusing, on religious grounds, to give fingerprints under a state law requiring them.

The evangelical Christian, Pam McLaurin, is fighting a looming suspension, claiming that fingerprinting amounts to the “Mark of the Beast,” and hence is a violation of her First Amendment right to practice her religion. Her case is similar to a lawsuit by a group of Michigan farmers, some of them Amish, challenging rules requiring the tagging of livestock with RFID chips, saying the devices are also the devil’s mark.

DNA BARCODES MAKE THEIR MARK

DNA fingerprinting isn't just for humans anymore: The "barcodes of life" are being read in other species as well, and they're being used to crack down on smugglers, track down disease carriers and trace the effects of climate change.

About 350 experts from 50 countries will be meeting in Mexico over the next week to discuss the rising number of applications for the technology. One of the major items on the agenda is to seal a global deal to extend the DNA barcode system to plants.

What Nilekani's unique ID project is all about

Quote:
Nilekani said that the ID number will be unique to a particular set of biometric information -- eyes (irises) and all 10 fingerprints.
Quote:
You can store it anywhere, and no one can rob it, for the whole purpose is to match the number with the real you. The number is useless without the biometric confirmation.
Quote:
If your bank is one of the partners, you can go to the designated branch and get all your 10 fingerprints and irises recorded or photographically captured. Your name, age, sex, and permanent and temporary addresses will be recorded based on documents already accepted for age and address proof. No caste, religious or other information will be recorded.

Yahoo offers help in UID project

Internet giant Yahoo on Wednesday offered to be part of India's plan to provide citizens with unique identity numbers, a project headed by IT czar Nandan Nilekani, but said it was not looking for commercial gains.

Yahoo's worldwide Chief Executive Officer Carol Bartz on Wednesday met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and expressed interest to partner the government in the project.

"The UID project involves huge database. We at Yahoo have expertise in handling such huge amount of data. We met the PM today morning and discussed, among other things, how Yahoo can help the government in the project," Bartz said.

Nilekani woos financial service providers to log on to UID

New Delhi: The Unique Identity Authority of India (UIDAI) chairman Nandan Nilekani on Monday urged financial services providers like pension, insurance, mutual fund and banking firms to consider riding on the UIDAI platform to expand the reach of their products across the country and meet the government’s financial inclusion goals. Nilekani stressed that taking a product like the New Pension Scheme (NPS) to millions of citizens required a reduction in its transaction costs and an ubiquitous micro-payment infrastructure.

Speaking at a pensions conference, Nilekani said that though the UID would be a voluntary number, it can be made mandatory for specific applications by relevant regulators.

The first such agency that has accepted making UIDs mandatory is the rural development ministry, which has decided that all National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme beneficiaries must have UIDs. “This alone will bring 200 million into the UIDAI database,” Nilekani said.

Nilekani: UID Will Confirm Who You Are


Quote:
Wall Street Journal: Can you tell us about the Unique Identification project that you are working on?

Mr. Nilekani: The project is about giving a number that is unique to every Indian resident. Many Indians don't have any form of identity, unlike in the U.S., where you have a social security number, and the U.K. has a national insurance number. Many countries have such an "identifier," we don't have that, and that is becoming a challenge today. Because as more and more of our public services and public delivery is targeted towards individuals, the ability to identify those individuals uniquely to make sure that the right goods are going to the right person becomes even more challenging.

WSJ: So when a child is born, he or she gets a number?

Mr. Nilekani: From our side the number is voluntary. However, there may be an agency or regulator which uses our number, and which may say that for the purpose of that particular service that they provide, that number is required. For example, banks may say you need to have a UID number to open an account, or the Income Tax authorities may make it necessary to have this unique number before they issue their own PAN cards.

Why Rumors of Apple Adding RFID to the Next iPhone Is a Big Deal

If rumors that Apple is adding an RFID reader to the iPhone are true, it’s huge!

An RFID reader would turn the iPhone into an e-wallet — allowing you to pay for everything, from a cup of coffee to a subway ride. It could also turn the iPhone into an ID card, a security access system and an electronic ticketing device.

It’s could also function as an easy and secure online shopping system that doesn’t require you to enter your credit card number.

Your iPhone could unlock your car, pick up e-coupons at the local mall, and pay for all your supermarket groceries just by laying it on top of the checkout.

Imagine if such a system was enabled on your iPhone. It would supplant your wallet — if enough retailers adopted the system, of course.

Fingerprint service nailed at Post Office

Australia Post has revealed plans to introduce new technology to allow Post Office staff to take fingerprints, biometric scans and digital signatures from customers applying for services such as bank accounts and passports.

The new Identification Services Program Project is expected to be adopted at all 4,443 retail Post outlets, but is currently being tested at 25 Australia Post-owned outlets across NSW and Western Australia.

ID service includes biometrics

If approved by State and Federal Governments, Australia Post would become the first non-law-enforcement organisation to take digital fingerprints for commercial purposes.

Personal Choices Not Applicable For UID, Says Nandan Nilekani

Personalization is possible in every aspect possible, including your mobile numbers or car numbers, but when it comes to Unique Identification Number, this option is not a feasible one. This has been clarified by UID Chief Nandan Nilekani, while addressing the BangaloreIT.Biz 2009 conference in Bangalore. He was delivering the ‘Vision 2020 - Leadership Series’ address.

The ID would be a random 16-dgit number which the computer provides.

VeriMed Health Link

Quote:
Health Link is the connection between you and your personal health record. Health Link utilizes a tiny, passive microchip (the nation’s first and only microchip cleared for patient identification by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration) and a secure, private online database that links you to your personal health record. Your Health Link is always with you and cannot be lost or stolen. It provides emergency room doctors and nurses with your vital medical and emergency contact information, allowing them to treat you rapidly, accurately and safely during an emergency.

The Health Link microchip

What you need to know about Health Link:

• Health Link allows ER doctors and nurses immediate access to your personal health record and emergency contact information during an emergency.

• ER doctors and nurses use Health Link as a tool to help treat you rapidly, accurately and safely based on your current medical information.

• Your personal medical and emergency contact information is easily updated through Health Link’s secure, online database.

http://www.HealthLinkInfo.com

About the size of a grain of rice, the microchip is inserted just under the skin and contains only a unique, 16-digit identifier. The microchip itself does not contain any other data other than this unique electronic ID, nor does it contain any Global Positioning System (GPS) tracking capabilities. And unlike conventional forms of identification, the Health Link cannot be lost, stolen, misplaced, or counterfeited. It is safe, secure, reversible, and always with you.

Federal judge reinstates Big Sandy ISD teacher's certification

BEAUMONT, TX (KTRE) - A federal judge reinstated a Polk County teacher's certification Tuesday, after the state took it away when she refused to submit a fingerprint.

According to Pam McLaurin's attorney, Scott Skelton, the judge approved a temporary injunction until Jan. 22, when he will make a final order on the decision.

McLaurin, who teaches at Big Sandy ISD in Dallardsville, is suing the state for requiring her to be fingerprinted for a background check.

According to Skelton, a Lufkin attorney, McLaurin believes the book of Revelation literally and that getting a fingerprint would bear her the mark of the beast and she would be "be tormented in burning sulfur."

I received yet another "opt out" offer from a credit card company the other day. I will exercise it as I no longer use the card so that I can pay off the balance left. When I do this, the 16 digit number for that account becomes inactive. Many people are doing this, and it appears to me that these companies are eliminating the account numbers as this occurs.

While I am not generally a paranoid person, a background reason for this could be eventually to "herd" all your finances (credit, checking, savings) into one 16 digit uin account, as a precursor to what you guys are talking about here. The last logical step would be to have that uin either implanted in and/or as a mark on your person. Their selling point would be that you now have "absolute" identity theft protection and no one else (except them of course) can access your (one) account. I could see lots of unaware people being attracted to that.

Please keep posting these. I enjoy reading/viewing them. :):

How Nandan Nilekani will make ID project profitable

Quote:
It’s a two-fold step that this plant proposes. The first is it will generate revenues through charging for the services, which other beneficiaries will use and second is through enrolment fees.

A beneficiary could either be a bank or it could be a telecom company. It could be LIC policyholder who takes a new policy. This document goes into a very detailed breakup analysis of how much it could generate in its first year alone. For example, it talks about new mobile connection. It says, in one-year alone new mobile address verification would be approximately Rs 19.59 crore of verifications, which needs to be done.

Unfortunately, this is becoming painfully obvious. You need control of the banks, health care (dozens of insurance companies being state regulated doesn't fit), vehicle production, printed media (can't be controlled as well), taxes, etc.

What will stop (a) government(s) from implementing a UN (or similar) VAT or Carbon Tax once everyone has their 16 digit uin account? They'll simply take it from you. All individual control will be gone. The sooner individual governments can get their populace to submit/adapt to such preliminary changes, the sooner a global currency and the order to follow can be realized.

Unique ID pay-off is many times the spend

Quote:
The US has a social security number in place, but that is without biometrics and online authentication. Similar projects elsewhere that do embed biometric capabilities have, at best, touched 150 million people. India’s UID programme will be ten times what the world has seen so far, complete with identity fields such as fingerprints and, perhaps, an iris scan. That is big, very big.

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) — tasked with issuing the numbers, managing data repository which will be the nerve centre of project, and authenticating identities — is hoping to cover 600 million people in the first five-six years, and subsequently the remaining population.

The centrepiece of the unprecedented scheme, and one that will determine its success or failure, is the technology backbone — hardware, software, networking, services, and so on. The repository of 1.2 billion people will have to be fired by robust IT platforms that are supported by massive computing power, capable of handling hundreds of thousands of authentication transactions per second.

DNA fingerprinting isn't just for humans anymore: The "barcodes of life" are being read in other species as well, and they're being used to crack down on smugglers, track down disease carriers and trace the effects of climate change.

About 350 experts from 50 countries will be meeting in Mexico over the next week to discuss the rising number of applications for the technology. One of the major items on the agenda is to seal a global deal to extend the DNA barcode system to plants.

European club that microchipped patrons out of business

Quote:
During her broadcast, Dr. Albrecht reveals that the Barcelona club has since gone out of business, and the Amsterdam bar stopped chipping customers some time ago and rarely uses the system at all, according to the chipped spokesman Albrecht interviewed. The RFID card reader at the club didn't have batteries, was covered in dirty scotch tape and the 'exclusive lounge area' for RFID chipped patrons consisted of an empty area in a corner upstairs with 2 tables surrounded by a rope.

Brisbane nightclubs to introduce fingerprint scanning

ATRONS at some of Brisbane's top nightspots will be forced to have their fingerprints scanned before entering clubs.
Five venues in the Fortitude Valley precinct will be introducing new fingerprinting scanning systems by the end of February in a bid to curb alcohol-fuelled violence.

Valley Liquor Accord chairman Danny Blair said it was a "step in the right direction" to providing safer venues.

"That scan is converted to a unique number and the fingerprint is instantly deleted and that fingerprint cannot be recreated by using that number," he said.

"All we know of them is their finger PIN and next time they come in they just put their finger down.

Unique identity project may get World Bank funding

Unique identity project may get World Bank funding

The global interest in India's unique identification project continues to grow.

After the Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Yahoo Chiefs, the World Bank President, Mr Robert B. Zoellick, is now scheduled to meet the Chairman of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), Mr Nandan Nilekani, during his four-day visit to the county starting December 2.

Quote:
Mr Zoellick will also interact with select CEOs. He is slated to meet the UIDAI Chairman on December 4.
Already, the UID project has generated global interest. Earlier this month, the CEO of Yahoo! Inc (NASDAQ:YHOO) , Ms Carol Bartz, offered to help India with the UID programme. Yahoo made it clear that it was not looking at any commercial interest but that its expertise in dealing with large databases could be of relevance to the project.
Quote:
In that sense, the UID project — that will incorporate identity fields such as fingerprints and, perhaps, an iris scan — will test the boundaries of technology.

The contract for its first in-situ slum rehabilitation project already awarded, the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) will now have to start work on a thornier issue: identifying slum dwellers eligible for the housing units being constructed.

Lieutenant-Governor Tej-endra Khanna advised the DDA to carry out biometric registration of slum dwellers in Kathputli Colony, the site for the rehabilitation project, during a meeting in Raj Niwas this October. According to the minutes of the meeting, “The Lieutenant Governor directed that prior biometric registration should be made an essential part of these (in-situ slum rehabilitation) schemes.”

PAN to be linked with Unique Id Number

New Delhi: Banking heavily on the use of biometrics, the ten-digit Permanent Account Number (PAN) and the 16-digit Unique Identification (UID) Number are set to be linked up. The government has decided to link the plan for biometric PAN cards with the UID project. The finance ministry has already begun talking to the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) in this regard. “We are having discussions with the finance ministry. Both projects will be using biometrics, so it is a good choice,” UIDAI chairman Nandan Nilekani told FE.

To conduct the census operation, several thousand enumerators, supervisors, census officers will be appointed across the country soon.

For the first time United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) would help to create master trainers, who would educate the enumerators and supervisors to conducted the massive census operation.

India’s new pension scheme


Quote:
One of the critical issues for the NPS is how to track an individual in the informal sector throughout 40 years or so of their working lives, when they may often be illiterate with few if any formal records of their existence. Such a task would have been impossible a few years ago, but India has now developed world class technology in the IT sector, and is capitalising on this through the establishment of the Unique Identification Authority of India, an entity specifically tasked with developing the technology to do this. The driving force behind this is Nandan Nilekani, the cofounder of Infosys, one of India’s most successful IT companies. The intention is to combine biometric data such as finger prints, with mobile phone technology and a centralised database that would enable each individual to be assigned a unique number and their identity to be verified through a fingerprint or iris scan and a mobile phone link within a minute or so.

National ID card linked to NI numbers, goverment says

The national identity card is linked to people's national insurance number, the government hasconfirmed.

Home secretary Alan Johnson said NI numbers are one of several data items that are part of the national ID card database but not the passport database.

Johnson was responding to a written question from shadow home secretary Chris Grayling. More than 2,400 had applied voluntarily for a card, he said.

Johnson said the information in the UK passport database is "very similar" to that held on the National Identity Register.

In addition to NI numbers the register also held fingerprint biometrics, which will be required for passport issue "in due course", he said.

Johnson said the NI numbers help identity verification checks for identity cards, and in time, passports.

National ID card system outdated
Govt plans to introduce electronic smart card system:

Hiran H. Senewiratne

The present national identity card system is outdated, and does not create interconnectivity and has many security issues. Therefore, the Government is planning to introduce an electronic smart card system to replace it from this year, Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa said.

“This new smart card system will create connectivity,” the Defence Secretary said at the Tech Colloquium Conference on the theme ‘The Role of IT in Nation Building’ in Colombo on Monday.

He said with the introduction of the new smart card system it could be used as an identity card as well as a multi-purpose card for other purposes. This will enable to prevent any security problems like duplication. This will be an advantage for security concerns to do their investigation and surveillance activities without any hazard, he said.

Rajapaksa said developed countries use more advanced surveillance systems than Sri Lanka by using new technology and without using physical presence such as Police and Army personnel. Therefore, this can create some inconvenience to the public to a larger extent, he said.

Palace allays fears over unified ID

There is nothing to worry about the Unified Multi-Purpose ID System (Umid) to be issued by the Social Security System (SSS) in March, Malacañang said.

Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Gary Olivar said government’s critics and the public should look at the benefits of the Umid rather than giving political color on the issuance of the IDs.

“That is the standard worry that they create, not just in our country but anywhere else, and not just with respect to the ID system but with any other collection of information by the government. All we can say is that this matter can be properly studied in terms of the public benefits that we expect to receive from it,” he told in an interview over radio.

“So I’m just asking people to maintain a balanced and impartial view on this,” he added.

SSS Chairman Romulo Neri announced the March issuance of two million cards, which will be used by three government agencies and SSS for their members’ transactions. He said they already ordered 12 million Umid for distribution over the next five years.

Meanwhile, Olivar even cited that the proposed radio frequency identification (RFID) could be used to intensify the government’s campaign against colorum and other lawless activities, including carnapping.

“It’s not clear to me how the RFID system would help or would give someone an advantage sa eleksyon assuming na babalaking gamitin ang RFID for that purpose. So I would need to see the details as well as evidence sa mga ganitong klaseng akusasyon,” he said.

Draft bill on UID numbers soon


A draft bill on the unique identity project would be made public within the next one month, 'Aadhar' (formerly Unique Identity Authority of India) chairman Nandan Nilekani said on Tuesday.

"We need an act to govern a regulatory body like UIDAI. The draft of the Act will be put for public discussion in the next four weeks," he told reporters on the sidelines of an interactive session on the unique identification number organised by the Confederation of Indian Industries in New Delhi.

Nilekani also said Aadhar, which aims to provide a unique identity to the residents of the country by next year, needs to partner with various agencies like the Registrar General of India for a "universal coverage" of the exercise.
