The Identity Ecosystem: Obama’s plan for Internet control

by John W. Whitehead from Online Journal. (the author is a Constitutional attorney and author of a new book, The Freedom Wars.)

As I have argued before, Obama is a mere figurehead for the ruling class, a charming, rhetorically skilled salesman who delivers what they want. But media sources rarely fail to allude to the fiction that the President is a leader which, of course, maintains all the other fictions of representative "democracy".  I think they mostly do this out of ignorance, but also it enhances the chances of their reports being carried by various media.

This piece is about a proposed internet ID that would be assigned to everyone who accesses the internet. This Constitutional attorney informs us:
...it would not take much for a universal Internet ID to become a de facto national ID, and the consequences could be devastating. Why?
