Scan Here, Please

Another DL scan: I went to the local AT&T store for repair of a device, and the tech apparently scanned my DL. It was kind of hard to tell with the tablet he was using, but he did turn the DL over so the barcode on the back was visible.

So Eric did you get the package w/o scanning or was the NPC unwilling to bend the rule?

Fortunately, my nearby rural community grocery has not come around to this insanity. Selection is not as good as the nearby college town, which bothers me not at all.

So, in addition to your Social Insecurity number, now DLs are the new and improved national ID, that nearly all opposed when it was marketed as such.

G20 Panel Calls for a Global Digital Health Certificate Acknowledged by WHO to Track Vaccination Status

an agreement to have this digital certificate using WHO standards had been reached between the G20 countries and Indonesia.

If this will pass, those who choose not to get vaccinated will be forced to give up their basic human rights.

It’ll be the Digi-Dollar (CBDC). A one-world order.
The vax will just be part of the control. You won’t be able to travel or enter a store without your vax passport…. and you’ll only be able to buy and sell using their digital currency, which they can shut off with a simple click of a button. Just like that, you are owned and controlled.

“Pureblood’s” are already running the world! You think any of the WEF or this illegitimate Biden regime or our corrupt politicians has taken this shot? If so, I have some ocean front property in North Dakota I want to sell you.

Interesting how they are not requiring illegal aliens to be vaxxed. Almost like their importing a new work force.

My first driver’s license was on card stock, a greenish squiggly background with lines to fill in the info, height, weight, etc.

All typed in when issued. No photo, no barcode, still got you into Canada a couple of times.

Visited Longmont in Colorado back in 2015, walked into Left Hand Brewing to buy a beer to drink and then buy a 12 pack. Had to show a DL to be served. No DL, you don’t get served and you will be escorted from the premises. If you have no driver’s license, you are considered to be suspect. I suppose they have to be cautious, homeless people can be on the lam and a fugitives from justice.

Statism in Colorado these days. In Boulder, Longmont is known as Longtucky. Colorado is no place to be, unless you need an altitude adjustment.

There are codes on driver’s licenses that indicate if you have been convicted of a crime, if you have been convicted for driving intoxicated while drunk, you can’t buy any alcohol. You have to find a friend to buy for you.

I buy beer at the beer depot that doesn’t ask if I am a drunk or not.

Any place that demands a driver’s license to buy beer and distilled spirits loses all of my business.

I grow some hops, you can buy malts for brewing, you can malt your own barley, you can make beer, it’s easy. Follow the recipe.

Make a mash from wheat or corn, let it ferment, distill it, you can get it to go to 190 proof Everclear. Good times.

“People say I’m no good, crazy as a loon, ‘cuz I get stoned in the morning, drunk in the afternoon.

Kind of like my own peace of mind, like to lay around in the shade. I ain’t got no money, but I damn sure got it made and I ain’t askin’ nobody for nothin’ if I can’t get it on my own.

You don’t like the way I’m livin’, you just leave this long-haired country boy alone.” – Charlies Daniels, the uneasy rider

Just thinking out loud. Has anyone considered just putting everything through the name of a business? No one should be using their real name on anything. Does the grocery store savings club really require your real name? Use an old phone number, a PO Box, etc. The only time I show ID is if I have to cash a check. I won’t even use it to buy alcohol. I have learned old guys are the best to buy beer from. They usually don’t ask for ID (my crow’s feet is usually good enough for age verification). I just give them a DOB and they type it in. If the kid is younger than me…forget it…I put it back on the shelf. It isn’t worth the hassle.

The familia and I went to dinner at a local restaurant the other night and we took my nephew (who is a college kid, but of legal drinking age). My husband and I both ordered a drink, no ID verification necessary. My nephew ordered one as well. The server never asked to see it. I am sure they thought we were his parents and we wouldn’t have allowed him to drink if he was underage. I thought that was pretty cool. A little bit of common sense still remains.

If you all remember that in the last census, the government checked and entered your GPS coordinates. Such data can be used to send a cruise missile right through your front door. If you don’t believe me, just ask any Afghani.

Don’t doubt for a second that the neo-Bolsheviks wouldn’t wax top dissidents when the crackdown comes. Demoncrap mass murderers don’t give a rat’s ass for any alt opinion. Just observe how they treated Alex Jones for his opinion on the Sandy Hook hoax. Deviation from the official narrative may get you fined, jailed, or suicided by a Hellfire missile.

Be advised, having a bugout cabin could save your life someday. It is way, way, worse than what most people can even imagine. Look up David Golberg and Project Pogo and Project Zyphr.

“Use of Global Positioning Systems

Why is the U.S. Census Bureau using Global Positioning Systems (GPS)?

The U.S. Census Bureau uses Global Positioning Systems (GPS) to help locate addresses. The handheld computer is equipped with GPS and is used during our address canvassing operation. Address canvassing is a field operation where census workers systematically travel all known and new streets and roads to identify every structure where people live or could potentially live and update our address list and maps. For the 2010 Census, we attempted to collect GPS coordinates for each structure to make sure it is recorded in the correct location. The census workers also confirmed, added and deleted addresses using a GPS-equipped hand held computer.”

the reason for scanning….tracking deviants….

The Road To Totalitarianism (Revisited)

This division of society into two opposing and irreconcilable classes of people cuts across and supersedes old political lines. There are Normals and Deviants on both the Left and the Right. The global-capitalist ruling establishment couldn’t care less whether you are a “progressive,” or a “conservative,” or a “libertarian,” or an “anarchist,” or whatever you call yourself. What they care about is whether you’re a Normal or a Deviant.

What they care about is whether you will follow orders. What they care about is whether you are conforming your perceptions and behavior and thinking to their new “reality” … the hegemonic global-capitalist “reality” that has been gradually evolving for the last 30 years and is now entering its totalitarian stage.

consider the epithets GloboCap has conditioned the Normals to use to demonize us … “conspiracy theorist,” “science denier,” “insurrectionist,” “extremist,” “violent domestic terrorist.” None of which signify a political ideology or any political or critical position whatsoever. They signify deviation from the norm.

Any type of deviation from the norm. They are tactical terms, devoid of meaning, designed to erase the political character of the diverse opposition to global-capitalism (or “globalism,” if you are touchy about the word “capitalism”), to lump us all into one big bucket of “deviance.”

It is usually not a very good omen when nations — or totally unaccountable, supranational global-power systems — suddenly break out the “deviance bucket.” It is usually a sign that things are going to get ugly, ugly in a totalitarian fashion, which is precisely what has been happening for the past six years.

Never seen them do that before, Eric. Did you happen to call UPS and ask them “what the hell?”? Also, you refused and the guy just kept your package?

Seems like everyone requires an ID for everything except for voting.

I refuse to get a real ID, I have a passport, I use that to fly and enter Fed facilities.

Data fields on a drivers license barcode, according to a vendor of scanners:

http://how-to.inliteresearch.com/barcode-reading-howto/read-driver-license-barcodes/

Basically it’s the same info printed on the front … not including SSN, which the DMV keeps in its own central database. But everything else needed for identity theft is included.

There is a point where technology makes the leap from making your life better to being used against you.

We are at that stage.

This is all very alarming. Here is a little idea I had read about a while back, take a magic marker and put a few extra dots on the qr code. might be worth a try…

I bought some ammo, with cash, a couple of weeks ago. The clerk wanted to see my ID. I showed him my DL; I thought to verify age, even though, with my graying hair, it should be obvious I’m over 18. I figured, store policy, card everyone. But he scanned the barcode on it. The receipt had my name printed on it. So now I wonder what databases my ammo purchase went into . . .

My DL recently expired. In Indiana you can still get one without Real ID yet, which is what I did. I don’t want the hassle of collecting all the things you need to get a Real ID to boot too.

They have you sign a paper telling you that you probably won’t be able to use it to board a plane or enter a federal building after a certain date in 2023 (that date been pushed back repeatedly). Real ID is so far behind schedule I wonder when they will ditch it completely and start over with something else.

For voting here in Lake county Indiana your DL is scanned when you sign in. So even non Real ID cards have info on them. Every traffic stop they are scanned by the cop, so even if you don’t get a ticket or warning, I bet its logged that it was scanned.

I am still waiting for the new DL, as they MAIL them out. Yes, the US mail, so its highly secured……. So I will be lucky if its not stolen before I get it….. So you know for sure it ain’t to protect your security……

Excellent, Eric! This is the type of stuff most people just mindlessly comply with, because they simply don’t care and or have no dignity left, but those of us who value our privacy and realize that self-ownership includes guarding your personal details and access to it, this is the very type of thing we must nip in the bud and not tolerate for one moment, for once you yield to it once, it is too easy to do it agai…and then again…and again, till it just becomes another routinely accepted practice which one does without even thinking about it- “OPh, just let me see your ID [Has hand out], I need to scan that for you”.

And we live among such sheep, that when we rebuff such invasions of privacy, and tyranny, that all of the ‘tards around us say “What have you got to hide?”.

The noose is tightening….if we don’t get out of here we’re either going to have to live in hiding….or succomb to their BS- and I refuse to do either!

This isn’t so much about watching you as it is watching employees. Signatures can be faked, especially on those brown tablet pads UPS drivers use. Faking DL barcodes is a little more sophisticated, so for a little while it will be the way to prevent employee theft. During COVID the shenanigans UPS drivers weren’t getting signatures at all because of cooties and touching, so this might be the solution to that “problem” too. Either way someone wants proof that the driver actually did their job.

The massive porch crime wave sweeping the suburbs might have had some inside assistance. After all, who’s going to risk getting a shotgun in your face over a box of laundry detergent? But if someone tips off the thief that there’s a package from Samsung or Apple on the porch, well, that’s almost a no brainer, Ring doorbell or not.

In this neck of the woods, your driver’s license has to be scanned when purchasing Nyquil. I was so damned mad the first time the checker at the register asked me for my ID, I damned near walked out. It is because the meth heads use an ingredient in the Nyquil to make meth. So, of course, I am the criminal. Never mind that I could have walked in there with a bag, loaded it up with all the brand-name Nyquil, the store brand name, walked out the front door, and they would not have stopped me, because it would have been a low-level crime not worth prosecuting. But, because I am actually being honest, and paying for the fk-ing thing, I am punished. What a world, huh?

When I lived in the States and someone wanted an Official ID, I would show my Passport. If someone wanted my Social Security Number who had no means of checking, I would make-up one. If that someone could check, then I could not remember it. Also, my Official Residence(s) was not where I really lived.
People used to ask me, what I was wanted for or why I was so paranoid.
Because I could see this shit coming.

Synchronicity is getting weird. Yesterday at Walgreens, went to the counter with some stuff, decided I needed a pack of rolling papers. Came out of pocket with my cash and the girl demanded to see my DL. I showed it to her, and she told me to take it out, she needed to scan it.

The answer was and always will be NO. It wasn’t booze, tobacco, guns, or ammo, but papers.. The little blue haired woke worker wouldn’t budge, I asked for the manager and was told they had to scan it, couldn’t just enter a birthdate.

This is brand new. Last month, in the same store I picked up a pack with just the jangling change in my pocket. I Left all the shit there on the counter, so they’d have to put it back. Went to a different store and bought about 5 years worth of matches, lighters, and papers. No loyalty card no ID, Just good old fashioned cash, soon to become trash.

Pure tyrannical lawlessness doesn’t hide its iron fist in the velvet glove no more. These TBTF corporations follow the wishes of their beast master without question. Doesn’t matter if it is destructive to their business. When you own the printing press, backed by reserve currency status, you become immune from issues of profit and loss.

May the day come soon when the world rises in unison and says NO to King Dollah Bill. Relegating our empire to where it belongs, the trash heap of history.

Scan? No. A glance to verify it’s me, fine. Years ago the Peppermill Casino in Reno wanted to copy my DL during check in, I refused – you may look at it while it’s in my sight you won’t take it out of my sight. They got pissy but I did check in. What part of identity theft don’t they understand?

Next week we have an overnight at out favorite resort, they never try to copy or scan ID now I’m wondering if this has changed.

And why all of a sudden, everywhere?

I find it ironic how they require a driver’s license to buy beer — while they’re constantly telling you not to drink and drive.

It’s especially fucking ridiculous when you’re almost sixty. A few months ago I showed my DL to the checkout woman who lives about a block away from me. I don’t know her personally but we have both lived in a very small town for thirty years and both know each other by sight.

I showed her my expired DL, because my new one has one of those RFID chips in it and I prefer to keep it in a Faraday pouch.

The bitch said “I can’t accept that, it’s expired.”

WTF, Karen.

When I was a kid, the drinking age was 18 and if you were 16, it was “close enough.” I remember buying beer in a small country store with my buddy when we were 16 using fake ID. The chick at the counter looked at it, laughed, said “That’s fake” — and sold it to us anyway…

This happened to me as well just recently…went to Fred Meyer Store (Kroger) in my neck of the woods and bought a 6-pack of beer which they now require to scan your driver’s license in order to purchase.

This is full steam ahead for gathering data on us to be used for no good. I will find another store or perhaps I’ll pay a premium to shop with cash where scanning is not required.

I have to show my DL, which is really “my papers”, when I buy beer even though I’m 75 years old. Guy at the counter says it’s to weed out the 17 year olds that look older so it’s just easier to make everyone show it, they just verify the birth date, no other info. I will absolutely refuse anyone who wants to scan it and take my business elsewhere; it’s a slippery slope indeed.

I can kinda sorta understand if the product is a high value item. Say $10k in Gold or Silver. In which case somebody is going to be liable for the loss if the wrong person takes it. In which case viewing the ID should be quite sufficient. Unless UPS is now hiring thieves for drivers. In years past such scanning would be simply data mining, and selling, which made Google what it is. Now it bodes more sinister. Social credit scores here we come. I’m continually amused by the enmity directed at China, while the Psychopaths In Charge seek to be ever more like them.

4-5 years ago Dominos demanded to see my DL. To pick up a pizza. That I had already paid for.

I told them that was ridiculous, walked out, and complained to corporate but I don’t think I ever got refunded and nothing came of it. Except, now I go to Pizza Hut when I want pizza for carryout.

Same thing to enter a burger & beer joint in Utah – I refused but was “allowed” to spend some FedNotes there anyway – and every time I went to pay the Comcast cable bill in person. The peons behind the counter were miffed to no end but took my cash & then scribbled out whatever account information was on the receipt before handing it to me.

Not only were these Technocrats trying to set up digital vaccine passports WORLDWIDE, they also want to implement CARBON FOOTPRINT TRACKERS for us “Useless eaters”. Considering that there wasn’t some “Big Red Wave” in last week’s (s)elections, the Biden Thing and authoritarian governors who’ve somehow miraculously retained power will likely try implementing both for the masses. If they succeed, not only will they be able to see if we’re “Up to date on our vaccinations”, they’ll also be able to see how big our CARBON FOOTPRINTS are and say we can’t buy or eat meat, use gas, etc., because we’ve “Exceeded our carbon footprint allowance” or something. Of course, they say it’s necessary because CLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMATE CHANGE, but they continue flying around in private jets to their COP ## meetings to lecture US about “Climate Change”. I’m surprised none of these clowns called for mass face diaper wearing to “Stop the exhaling of CO2 into the environment”.

Even Joe Biden was at COP27, pledging millions of dollars to “Fight climate change”, but the money likely won’t be coming from these billionaire elitists who think they’re God and need to “Great Reset the world”; it’s likely to come from AMERICAN TAXPAYERS. These people are either insane or evil.

Is this event a UPS thing? I don’t think FedEx does this. I had to order a replacement drivers interior door handle for my ’07 Ford Fusion (flimsy plastic piece of crap btw!) and the company shipped it via FedEx with a delivery date of this past Sunday. I got a cold over the weekend so I forgot about it until late evening. I checked and FedEx had left it by my front door – no doorbell, no license checking, nothing.

In September I went to a Walgreens for the first time in years. So long, in fact, the little Walgreens card they want for purchases didn’t work. The clerk wouldn’t use a courtesy card and wanted to see my DL to get me a new card. I said no way and left w/o buying anything. A DL for a store card in NJ? Who does that? A few weeks later I tried getting store cards at local grocery stores in PA while I was there. Same thing. When store cards first rolled out I signed up with J. Doe accounts or used phone numbers that I had memorized (not mine). Does everyone want a DL now? Are folks actually giving up that info? For store cards, seriously? Is it an east coast thing? No way would I give UPS , Walgreens et al. my DL. If a person can be served papers w/o showing id, UPS and stores don’t need it either.
caadman, good on you all for stiffing Rosie’s together.

I refuse to allow anyone to scan my license, although I’m usually ok with showing it to them if necessary. Even then though, what the hell happened to common sense? I’m 73 and I look it. I really need to show my ID to buy a beer? Worst one so far, went to Loves travel center a couple weeks ago to fill a propane tank,and they wanted to scan my license! Nope, I’ll find someone local who doesn’t care who I am. WTF?

I already wont go to the restaurants that force customers to order using an app. The rare times i am home when a package gets delivered and they ring the doorbell that door never gets opened until after the truck leaves.

All of the states were required to transition to the Real ID standard in order to have their drivers licenses accepted as credentials to board an airplane. The bar code is probably part of that, and the companies which make the readers are most likely looking for other revenue streams at places like Fedex and UPS.

A deal cut at a big tech/C-suite conference involving steaks and Pappy Van Winkle Reserve served up by an AOC-type “shot girl” (her gig before Congress) more likely had more to do with the barcode reader purchasing decision than some Fed regulation.

Saw this today at survivalblog, wow, I Did Not Know That, did you?:

…”While stationed in West Germany back in the early 1980s, I witness a German Bundesposte (post office) VW micro-buss putting around town with a small yagi antenna sticking out of the roof. My friends in the local German Amateur Radio club explained that the van was seeking out the weak local oscillator signal from television sets. Whenever they detected a signal, the equipment operators would reference a listing of addresses that held a “TV license”. If the residence did not appear in the listing, that indicated an “illegal” TV set being used by someone without a “TV license”. Keep in mind that back then there were no independent television stations. All the television stations were state-owned and produced programming at taxpayer’s expense. Thus the requirement to have a “TV license” in order to watch the “official” television stations.
The UK was doing the same thing. Fans of Monty Python may remember a skit involving a man who was convinced by a scam artist that he had to have a “license” for his pet fish. American viewers may not have grasped what he was talking about when the man mentions the “Cat Detector Van” that had stopped in front of his door and asked to see his “cat license”.” …

After having lived in the shit hole known as San Diego, I’ve become accustomed to not answering the door unless I’m expecting someone. Ever. If it’s anyone I know, they have my number and can call me — then I’ll open the door.

UPS/FedEx guy rings the door bell all the time. I wait until I hear a truck rumble away and then go get my package. And that’s only on the weekend or maybe Fridays if I’m home early.

Because fuck ’em and fuck every door-to-door pest control, solar panel, boy scout, and everybody else that I don’t know. If I don’t know you and I’m not expecting you, then WTF are you doing ringing my door bell?

I give my good friends a key to my house and an alarm code. Only a small handful of such people but I really don’t mind people that I know and like coming by… even if I might not be prepared. That’s fine.

If it gets to the point where Amazon needs an ID scanned for random shit, I don’t know how that’s ever gonna work. They mostly deliver when I’m at work and see above re the weekend.

Heck, if I ever have to sign for an important package and they demand an ID. I’m gonna bring my passport to the door. Suck on that MFer! It’s valid ID!

“I seem to have misplaced my driver’s license. Sorry.”

Hey Eric, a few months ago we went to Rosie’s in Vinton.. We all had to have our drivers license which were scanned. One person in our group was denied entry because her DRIVERS LICENSE had expired by a few days. It did not matter that she had other forms of ID ( concealed carry permit ) a 55 year old US citizen was not allowed entry. We all left, never to return again.

So, did the ups guy really deny you your package? Or, did he cave & give it to you anyway?

This conditioning of the masses to accept having to show your “papers please” has been incrementally ramping up on the margins for a long time.

40 to 80 yr. olds get “asked” for an ID at the grocery stores & big box stores in order to purchase: alcohol, tobacco, and even spray cans of paint or BIC lighters, among a few others which escapes me at the moment.

Sometimes, there’s a contest of sorts when the customer says in response to being “asked” for ID, “no, you don’t need to see my ID” or, “What? Are you retarded, or something? Do I Really Look Like I Am anywhere even remotely close to 18-freakin’-years-old?”

7 times out of ten, the response is ~, “It’s the rules.” Or, some such.

The slippery slope.

Anyway, it’s often at the margins where “the rules” get expanded.
