The latest study by TransUnion reveals many customers who qualify for a new-vehicle loan still opted for more affordable “nearly new” second-hand cars and trucks instead.
Buying a used car is baffling. Whether you’re sorting used cars for sale portals or through an auto broker, the experience can be staggering, especially for first-time buyers. Plus, second-hand cars usually don’t have warranties and other perks.
With that in mind, today, we’ve compiled a list of five common old car-buying mistakes to avoid.
Mistake #1 Not doing the homework
In this age of the Internet, the process of buying cars has become more democratized than ever. We have access to every minute fact and figure about a specific car brand or model. This includes mileage, body, and engine type, mileage, and safety features like airbags, ABS traction, etc.
So, there’s no reason you need to step in a local used car sale mall or contact genuine sellers without having first researched the vehicle online.
Mistake #2 Not checking vehicle’s history report
Most buyers understand the importance of flipping through the vehicle’s history report for its self-evaluation. However, some still don't know what this report is all about?
It is a detailed outline that tells everything that the vehicle has gone through, such as massive repairs and minor or major accidents. Was it lady driven or used as a rental vehicle? What are the exact kilometers covered?
Thus, a car’s history report provides all the necessary details for a transparent secondhand buying experience.
While most used car dealers have this report available for their customers to go through and finalize, private sellers might not have it. So, you also need to prepare a quick checklist related to technical specifications.
Mistake #3: Not considering fuel efficiency
Ignoring fuel consumption is another common mistake buyers make when searching for pre-owned cars.
Ask yourself, would you go with a low mileage returning SUV that will burn a hole in your pocket every day or a good fuel-efficient vehicle such as a hatchback like the Nissan Murano to meet your primary purpose of having a car?
The choice is yours!
Whatever you do, don’t overlook the vehicle’s mileage rating when fuel prices are soaring. Additionally, with used cars, we can expect frequent repairs and regular maintenance compared to brand new ones.
So, in a nutshell, opting for fuel-efficient economic car models is better to have an overall economical car ownership experience.
Mistake #4 Skipping a full inspection
Because we know a little about the car just by having a quick glance, never finalize the deal without conducting a full professional inspection. It is advised to have a qualified mechanic look for the fluid leaks as well as the engine check-up.
At the same time, the mechanic will analyze the brake pads, and tires, and say, if replacements are needed in the near future.
Before you fret over a few dollars that you’ll be spending on this service, remember that you can use their advice to your advantage in negotiating the price down. So, it's always worth the money.
Mistake #5 Not taking a test drive
Are you surprised to see this on the list? Whether you are considering a secondhand car or a brand new one, get in the car and drive it before you ink the deal.
It will tell you a lot whether or not, it's the right car for you.
Settle into the driver’s seat and have a look around before you turn on the ignition, check how visibility is via the rear windscreen? How’s the interiors feel like? Next, does the car give a satisfying clunk? Are there any rattles?
Test drive will help you make the final call based on the overall performance.

We do n't need to change .

We practice deep compassion as we extend this same privilege to other people and things around us and allow them to simply be , especially those things that would easily turn our hearts bitter .

However, blueberries, in particular, are one of the best fruits you can choose to eat after working out. Raspberries are also a great option. Both of these berries contain high amounts of carbohydrates and sirtuins, which modulate several cellulars and organismal functions such as cellular death, chronic inflammation in the body, metabolism, and longevity and assist significantly with recovery.
Chia seeds
Another great source of protein is chia seeds. Not only that, but they also contain all nine essential amino acids. They are great suppliers of minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium. In addition to that, chia seeds contain inflammatory fat that supports muscle recovery after intense workouts.
If you're not exactly sure how to use them, here are a couple of tips and ideas. One of the easiest ways to get them involved in your daily meals is by adding them to Greek yogurt or a smoothie. You could also choose to make a chia seed pudding. All you need to do is use a little coconut milk and add whatever fresh fruit you want to top it off with.
Green Tea
One study published back in 2018 showed that men who supplemented with at least 500mg of green tea extract daily managed to reduce signs of muscle damage caused by exercise. Drinking green tea will provide your body with antioxidants and polyphenols that will assist in regulating oxidative damage caused by intense exercising.
Bananas
You could never go wrong with bananas after working out. They are rich in carbohydrates and potassium, which are the two most efficient and muscle-friendly post-workout nutrients that you can feed your body with. Bananas are great for replenishing carbohydrates that have been burned out for fuel while you were exercising. They make up for all the electrolytes that have been lost in sweat.
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is also a great post-workout meal, especially if you’re in a rush. Not only is it good for muscle rebuilding and recovering, but it can also lead to a longer life, according to a study published in the journal Circulation back in 2016. Some of the research done by experts from Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health even point out that people who eat 33 grams of whole grains daily manage to reduce their risk of premature death by 9% compared to those who don’t eat whole grains. All you need to do is make yourself a bowl of delicious oatmeal with any kind of milk of your preference and then you can even add any fruits you want to add some additional flavor as well.
Cottage cheese
Cottage cheese can also be a great post-workout snack. It can provide your body with two kinds of protein: casein and whey. On one hand, whey protein has a very important role in replenishing muscles quickly after a workout routine. On the other hand, casein works more slowly, but it is very effective too. It can even be a great snack before you work out. It will allow your muscles to keep recovering eve while you’re sleeping. But other than that, cottage cheese is packed with live cultures aka good bacteria that can help your body break down and absorb nutrients. As a result, eating cottage cheese will help your muscles grow stronger and bigger over time. You can either eat it plain or topped with fruit. While it can be served for breakfast, it can also be a midday snack.
Tart cherries
There has been researching backing up the fact that tart cherry juice has the ability to minimize post-workout muscle pains, but also delay time to fatigue, and promote faster muscle recovery for runners. In addition to that, eating tart cherries and drinking tart cherry juice can improve your overall performance and reduce post-workout recovery time for lifters. Tart cherries are also great because you can eat them as dried fruits. In this case, consuming dried tart cherries after working out can significantly reduce muscle breakdown and pain, as well as inflammation in your body. There are many ways you can eat tart cherries. You can eat them plain, add them to your oatmeal, or even mix them in salads, and so on. Just make sure you are not eating too many dried tart cherries since they often come with high amounts of sugar.
Mānuka honey
One type of honey, in particular, has many great benefits for muscles after intense workouts. Manuka honey isn't your regular sticky honey everyone has in the pantry. It is actually monoclonal honey that predominantly comes from the nectar of one plant species from New Zealand called the Manuka bush. Manuka honey has a very distinctive flavor that sets it apart from other types of honey. It is a bit milder than typical honey and it’s also a much thicker as well.
Manuka honey is thought to be one of the healthiest and most beneficial forms of honey in the whole world. It is an anti-inflammatory that can help you reduce exercise-induced inflammation in your body. It also contains high amounts of carbohydrates and they are much needed for refilling glycogen stores and delivering protein to your muscles. You can either try taking one or two spoons of it after an intense workout or even add it to your yogurt or tea.
Nuts & Seeds
Nuts and seeds are one of the best post-workout snacks because they provide your body with essential Omega-3 fatty acids. That is what helps your body fight inflammation. It also provides you with protein that is needed for muscle synthesis and growth. They are also high in electrolytes for adequate hydration and zinc that boost your immunity. Seeds and nuts are packed with protein and fiber that many vegans and vegetarians love to eat daily, but they can also be a great plant-based snack for those who eat meat as well.
Turmeric
Turmeric is packed with antioxidant curcumin which is great for reducing inflammation in muscles. Not only that, but curcumin has also been proven to delay onset muscle soreness which makes it a perfect post-exercise addition to snacks. This spice contains compounds have the ability to reduce muscle damage and inflammation caused by intense workouts. They also promote muscle repair and guarantee an even higher level of performance. Curcumin can also help ease pain and swelling. This is why it is recommended that you add turmeric into soups or make a turmeric latte from time to time. All you need to do is combine two cups of heated cow or almond milk, one teaspoon turmeric, and one teaspoon of ginger.
Sweet potatoes
By adding sweet potatoes to any of your post-workout meals you can finally say goodbye to all of your sore muscles. Sweet potatoes contain high amounts of glycogen. They are a great source of beta carotene and vitamin C which your body needs to stay strong and healthy. They are also very delicious. Plus you can serve them in several different ways so it never gets boring. You can bake them on the grill, or cook them in the oven with some olive oil and any spices you want, and so on. Try mixing up different spices such as salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, or even the previously-mentioned turmeric.
Salmon
Just like seeds and nuts, salmon also contains omega 3 fatty acids, but it also contains high amounts of protein which is a key component in muscle restoring and building process. Try cooking up some salmon either for lunch or dinner, depending on what time of the day you like to work out. Just remember to eat protein in at least 45 minutes after doing exercises to ensure adequate recovery and strength.
Cacao
Cacao is also great because it has high levels of antioxidants, vitamin B, and magnesium that will reduce stress in your body directly related to exercise. It will also balance your electrolytes, and boost your energy levels. Cacao contains antioxidants called flavones that are even able to boost your body’s production of nitrous oxide, causing your blood vessel walls to open and relax. As a result, this helps lower your blood pressure and promote overall health. You can include cacao in your daily meals by adding it to your smoothies or simply by mixing it with milk.
Liquid Meals
Some people find it hard to stomach food after working out. In that case, drinking protein shakes can be very helpful. They are easy to drink and will feed your body with all the necessary nutrients your body needs after an intense workout. All you need are some fruits, milk of your choice, and some post-workout protein. You can either drink this before or after you’re done with your exercises.
Quinoa
Lastly, quinoa is an amazing addition to any diet, but especially for those who are following vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free diets. This grain is great for increasing protein and fiber intake since it’s loaded with both. You can enjoy quinoa either as a side dish or as a part of your main meal.
Conclusion
All things considered, there are many great options for post-workout snacks and meals you can choose from. Give everything you might find appealing a try and just switch up different combinations every once in a while so it doesn’t get boring.

(TMU) – Thus far, 2020 has been filled with notable astronomical events, and there’s plenty still to come. We had three Super Moons in a row, starting with March’s Full Worm Moon, April’s Full Pink Moon and, and as we reported, May’s peak of the ‘Eta Aquarids’ Meteor Shower just days before the Full Flower Moon.
We’re not even halfway through the year and there’s plenty more in store for all skywatchers, starting with a partial Penumbral Lunar Eclipse on June 5th and 6th and an Annular Solar Eclipse on June 21st.
This year we’ll have a total of six eclipses, four Lunar and two Solar. The Lunar Eclipses will all be partial and the Solar Eclipses will be an Annular Eclipse on June 21st and a Total Eclipse on December 14th. To get the best deals for viewing the eclipses check out http://www.TravelQuestTours.com.
When the light from one celestial body (such as our Sun or Moon) is blocked by another (Earth or our Moon), an eclipse occurs as the body in between the two casts a shadow on the third body. We only experience two types of eclipses created by the different alignments of the Sun, the Earth, and the Moon. When the light of the Sun is obstructed by the Moon we observe a solar eclipse on Earth, and when Earth is aligned between the Sun and the Moon, it casts a shadow on the Moon, creating a lunar eclipse.
When the Moon lies in the penumbral, or outer shadow, of the Earth, we have a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, such as the one on June 5th and 6th. This occurs when the three celestial bodies are not perfectly aligned. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse is quite subtle as the moon might have been only slightly darker where Earth’s shadow falls.
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse:
June’s Penumbral Lunar Eclipse will visible, weather permitting, from much of Asia and Europe, Australia, Africa, Antarctica, and South America’s southwest. The eclipse will begin on the 5th of June at UTC 17:45:51, reach its peak at 19:24:55, and end at 19:24:55.
Check the date and time for your city or area.
Annular Solar Eclipse:
The Moon will be perfectly aligned between the Sun and Earth for the Annular Solar Eclipse on the 21st of June and as a result will leave the outer ring of the sun visible, also known as the ‘ring of fire’. Annulus (Latin), means ring, the name given to this celestial event.
Always protect your eyes when watching a Solar Eclipse which should be a special and memorable event, without harming your eyesight. Never look directly at the sun, even during an eclipse, without protective, special-purpose solar filters. These solar filters are used in “eclipse glasses” or in hand-held solar viewers which have to meet a very specific worldwide standard known as ISO 12312-2. Sunglasses, no matter how dark, will not protect your eyes!
With clear skies, the full Solar eclipse, including the ring of fire, will be visible from parts of Africa including the Central Africa Republic, Congo, and Ethiopia, as well as most of North India, South of Pakistan, and China.
Partial views of the eclipse will be visible in South/East Europe, much of Asia and Africa, North in Australia, and the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The eclipse will peak at UTC 12:10 am on June 21st. The total duration of the eclipse is 3 hours, 18 minutes.

consciouslifenews--2020-05-19--The Worst Is Yet to Come: Contact Tracing, Immunity Cards and Mass Testing

No one is safe .
No one is immune .
No one gets spared the anguish , fear , and heartache of living under the shadow of an authoritarian police state .
That ’ s the message being broadcast 24/7 with every new piece of government propaganda , every new law that criminalizes otherwise lawful activity , every new policeman on the beat , every new surveillance camera casting a watchful eye , every sensationalist news story that titillates and distracts , every new prison or detention center built to house troublemakers and other undesirables , every new court ruling @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to strip and steal and rape and ravage the citizenry , every school that opts to indoctrinate rather than educate , and every new justification for why Americans should comply with the government ’ s attempts to trample the Constitution underfoot .
Yes , COVID-19 has taken a significant toll on the nation emotionally , physically , and economically , but there are still greater dangers on the horizon .
As long as “ we the people ” continue to allow the government to trample our rights in the so-called name of national @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not better .
Now there ’ s talk of mass testing for COVID-19 antibodies , screening checkpoints , contact tracing , immunity passports to allow those who have recovered from the virus to move around more freely and snitch tip lines for reporting “ rule breakers ” to the authorities .
If you can ’ t read the writing on the wall , you need to pay better attention .
These may seem like small , necessary steps in the war against the COVID-19 virus , but they ’ re only necessary to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ further undermine the Constitution , extend its control over the populace , and feed its insatiable appetite for ever-greater powers .
Nothing is ever as simple as the government claims it is .
Whatever dangerous practices you allow the government to carry out now—whether it ’ s in the name of national security or protecting America ’ s borders or making America healthy again—rest assured , these same practices can and will be used against you when the government decides to set its sights on you .
The war on drugs turned out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people , waged with SWAT teams and militarized police .
The war on terror turned out to be a war on the American people , waged with warrantless surveillance and indefinite detention .
The war on immigration turned out to be a war on the American people , waged with roving government agents demanding “ papers , please.
” This war on COVID-19 will be yet another war on the American people , waged with all of the surveillance weaponry at the government ’ s disposal : thermal imaging cameras , drones , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
So you see , when you talk about empowering government agents to screen the populace in order to control and prevent the spread of this virus , what you ’ re really talking about is creating a society in which ID cards , roundups , checkpoints , and detention centers become routine weapons used by the government to control and suppress the populace , no matter the threat .
This is also how you pave the way for a national identification system of epic proportions .
Imagine it : a national classification @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to your health status but also allows the government to sort you in a hundred other ways : by gender , orientation , wealth , medical condition , religious beliefs , political viewpoint , legal status , etc .
Are you starting to get the bigger picture yet ?
This is just another wolf in sheep ’ s clothing , a “ show me your papers ” scheme disguised as a means of fighting a virus .
The ramifications of such a “ show me your papers ” society in which government officials @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they identify themselves , and subject them to patdowns , warrantless screenings , searches , and interrogations are beyond chilling .
By allowing government agents to establish a litmus test for individuals to be able to exit a state of lockdown and engage in commerce , movement and any other right that corresponds to life in a supposedly free society , it lays the groundwork for a society in which you are required to identify yourself at any time to any government worker who demands it for any reason .
Such tactics quickly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ends with government agents empowered to force anyone and everyone to prove they are in compliance with every statute and regulation on the books .
It used to be that unless police had a reasonable suspicion that a person was guilty of wrongdoing , they had no legal authority to stop the person and require identification .
In other words , “ we the people ” had the right to come and go as we please without the fear of being questioned by police or forced to identify ourselves .
Unfortunately , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ right to move about freely is being pitted against the government ’ s power to lock down communities at a moment ’ s notice .
And in this tug-of-war between individual freedoms and government power , “ we the people ” have been on the losing end of the deal .
Curiously enough , these COVID-19 restrictions dovetail conveniently with a national timeline for states to comply with the Real ID Act , which imposes federal standards on identity documents such as state drivers ’ licenses , a prelude to this national identification @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for bringing about a national ID card , the ultimate human tracking device .
Granted , in the absence of a national ID card , which would make the police state ’ s task of monitoring , tracking and singling out individual suspects far simpler , “ we the people ” are already tracked in a myriad of ways : through our state driver ’ s licenses , Social Security numbers , bank accounts , purchases , and electronic transactions ; by way of our correspondence and communication devices—email , phone calls , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in our vehicles , identification documents , even our clothing .
Add to this the fact that businesses , schools , and other facilities are relying more and more on fingerprints and facial recognition to identify us .
All the while , data companies such as Acxiom are capturing vast caches of personal information to help airports , retailers , police , and other government authorities instantly determine whether someone is the person he or she claims to be .
This informational glut—used to great advantage by both the government and corporate sectors—has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ internal passport , ” a.k.a.
, a national ID card that would store information as basic as a person ’ s name , birth date , and place of birth , as well as private information , including a Social Security number , fingerprint , retinal scan , and personal , criminal and financial records .
A federalized , computerized , cross-referenced , databased system of identification policed by government agents would be the final nail in the coffin for privacy ( not to mention a logistical security nightmare that would leave Americans @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the cybersphere ) .
Americans have always resisted adopting a national ID card for good reason : it gives the government and its agents the ultimate power to target , track and terrorize the populace according to the government ’ s own nefarious purposes .
National ID card systems have been used before , by other oppressive governments , in the name of national security , invariably with horrifying results .
For instance , in Germany , the Nazis required all Jews to carry special stamped ID cards for travel within the country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of David badges , these stamped cards were instrumental in identifying Jews for deportation to death camps in Poland .
Author Raul Hilberg summarizes the impact that such a system had on the Jews : In South Africa during apartheid , pass books were used to regulate the movement of black citizens and segregate the population .
The Pass Laws Act of 1952 stipulated where , when , and for how long a black African could remain in certain areas .
Any government employee could strike out entries , which canceled the permission @ @ @ @ @ @ @ passbook that did not have a valid entry resulted in the arrest and imprisonment of the bearer .
Identity cards played a crucial role in the genocide of the Tutsis in the central African country of Rwanda .
The assault , carried out by extremist Hutu militia groups , lasted around 100 days and resulted in close to a million deaths .
While the ID cards were not a precondition to the genocide , they were a facilitating factor .
Once the genocide began , the production of an identity card with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sentence at any roadblock .
Identity cards have also helped oppressive regimes carry out eliminationist policies such as mass expulsion , forced relocation and group denationalization .
Through the use of identity cards , Ethiopian authorities were able to identify people with Eritrean affiliation during the mass expulsion of 1998 .
The Vietnamese government was able to locate ethnic Chinese more easily during their 1978-79 expulsion .
The USSR used identity cards to force the relocation of ethnic Koreans ( 1937 ) , Volga Germans ( 1941 ) , Kamyks and Karachai ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Turks , Chechens , Ingush and Balkars ( 1944 ) and ethnic Greeks ( 1949 ) .
And ethnic Vietnamese were identified for group denationalization through identity cards in Cambodia in 1993 , as were the Kurds in Syria in 1962 .
And in the United States , post-9/11 , more than 750 Muslim men were rounded up on the basis of their religion and ethnicity and detained for up to eight months .
Their experiences echo those of 120,000 Japanese-Americans who were similarly detained 75 years ago following the attack on Pearl @ @ @ @ @ @ @ monetary issuance by the U.S. government , the U.S. Supreme Court has yet to declare such a practice illegal .
Moreover , laws such as the National Defense Authorization Act ( NDAA ) empower the government to arrest and detain indefinitely anyone they “ suspect ” of being an enemy of the state .
You see , you may be innocent of wrongdoing now , but when the standard for innocence is set by the government , no one is safe .
And anyone can be a criminal when it ’ s the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s no longer a matter of if , but when .
Remember , the police state does not discriminate .
At some point , it will not matter whether your skin is black or yellow or brown or white .
It will not matter whether you ’ re an immigrant or a citizen .
It will not matter whether you ’ re rich or poor .
It won ’ t even matter whether you ’ re driving , flying , or walking .
After all , government-issued bullets will kill you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a law-abiding citizen or a hardened criminal .
Government jails will hold you just as easily whether you ’ ve obeyed every law or broken a dozen .
And whether or not you ’ ve done anything wrong , government agents will treat you like a suspect simply because they have been trained to view and treat everyone like potential criminals .
Eventually , when the police state has turned that final screw and slammed that final door , all that will matter is whether some government agent—poorly trained , utterly ignorant and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hyped up on the power of their badges , and authorized to detain , search , interrogate , threaten and generally harass anyone they see fit—chooses to single you out for special treatment .
We ’ ve been having this same debate about the perils of government overreach for the past 50-plus years , and still , we don ’ t seem to learn , or if we learn , we learn too late .
All of the excessive , abusive tactics employed by the government today—warrantless surveillance , stop and frisk searches @ @ @ @ @ @ @ searches , asset forfeiture schemes , private prisons , indefinite detention , militarized police , etc.—started out as a seemingly well-meaning plan to address some problem in society that needed a little extra help .
Be careful what you wish for : you will get more than you bargained for , especially when the government ’ s involved .
In the case of a national identification system , it might start off as a means of tracking COVID-19 cases in order to “ safely ” re-open the nation , but it will end @ @ @ @ @ @ @ American people .
For those tempted to justify these draconian measures for whatever reason—for the sake of their health , the economy , or national security—remember , you can ’ t have it both ways .
You can ’ t live in a constitutional republic if you allow the government to act like a police state .
You can ’ t claim to value freedom if you allow the government to operate like a dictatorship .
You can ’ t expect to have your rights respected if you allow the government to treat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ utter disregard for the rule of law .
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , if you ’ re inclined to advance this double standard because you believe you have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide , beware : there ’ s always a boomerang effect .

That’s the message being broadcast 24/7 with every new piece of government propaganda, every new law that criminalizes otherwise lawful activity, every new policeman on the beat, every new surveillance camera casting a watchful eye, every sensationalist news story that titillates and distracts, every new prison or detention center built to house troublemakers and other undesirables, every new court ruling that gives government agents a green light to strip and steal and rape and ravage the citizenry, every school that opts to indoctrinate rather than educate, and every new justification for why Americans should comply with the government’s attempts to trample the Constitution underfoot.
Yes, COVID-19 has taken a significant toll on the nation emotionally, physically, and economically, but there are still greater dangers on the horizon.
As long as “we the people” continue to allow the government to trample our rights in the so-called name of national security, things will get worse, not better.
It’s already worse.
Now there’s talk of mass testing for COVID-19 antibodies, screening checkpoints, contact tracing, immunity passports to allow those who have recovered from the virus to move around more freely and snitch tip lines for reporting “rule breakers” to the authorities.
If you can’t read the writing on the wall, you need to pay better attention.
These may seem like small, necessary steps in the war against the COVID-19 virus, but they’re only necessary to the police state in its efforts to further undermine the Constitution, extend its control over the populace, and feed its insatiable appetite for ever-greater powers.
Nothing is ever as simple as the government claims it is.
Whatever dangerous practices you allow the government to carry out now—whether it’s in the name of national security or protecting America’s borders or making America healthy again—rest assured, these same practices can and will be used against you when the government decides to set its sights on you.
The war on drugs turned out to be a war on the American people, waged with SWAT teams and militarized police.
The war on terror turned out to be a war on the American people, waged with warrantless surveillance and indefinite detention.
The war on immigration turned out to be a war on the American people, waged with roving government agents demanding “papers, please.”
This war on COVID-19 will be yet another war on the American people, waged with all of the surveillance weaponry at the government’s disposal: thermal imaging cameras, drones, contact tracing, biometric databases, etc.
So you see, when you talk about empowering government agents to screen the populace in order to control and prevent the spread of this virus, what you’re really talking about is creating a society in which ID cards, roundups, checkpoints, and detention centers become routine weapons used by the government to control and suppress the populace, no matter the threat.
This is also how you pave the way for a national identification system of epic proportions.
Imagine it: a national classification system that not only categorizes you according to your health status but also allows the government to sort you in a hundred other ways: by gender, orientation, wealth, medical condition, religious beliefs, political viewpoint, legal status, etc.
Are you starting to get the bigger picture yet?
This is just another wolf in sheep’s clothing, a “show me your papers” scheme disguised as a means of fighting a virus.
Don’t fall for it.
The ramifications of such a “show me your papers” society in which government officials are empowered to stop individuals, demand they identify themselves, and subject them to patdowns, warrantless screenings, searches, and interrogations are beyond chilling.
By allowing government agents to establish a litmus test for individuals to be able to exit a state of lockdown and engage in commerce, movement and any other right that corresponds to life in a supposedly free society, it lays the groundwork for a society in which you are required to identify yourself at any time to any government worker who demands it for any reason.
Such tactics quickly lead one down a slippery slope that ends with government agents empowered to force anyone and everyone to prove they are in compliance with every statute and regulation on the books.
It used to be that unless police had a reasonable suspicion that a person was guilty of wrongdoing, they had no legal authority to stop the person and require identification. In other words, “we the people” had the right to come and go as we please without the fear of being questioned by police or forced to identify ourselves.
Unfortunately, in this age of COVID-19, the unrestricted right to move about freely is being pitted against the government’s power to lock down communities at a moment’s notice. And in this tug-of-war between individual freedoms and government power, “we the people” have been on the losing end of the deal.
Curiously enough, these COVID-19 restrictions dovetail conveniently with a national timeline for states to comply with the Real ID Act, which imposes federal standards on identity documents such as state drivers’ licenses, a prelude to this national identification system.
Talk about a perfect storm for bringing about a national ID card, the ultimate human tracking device.
Granted, in the absence of a national ID card, which would make the police state’s task of monitoring, tracking and singling out individual suspects far simpler, “we the people” are already tracked in a myriad of ways: through our state driver’s licenses, Social Security numbers, bank accounts, purchases, and electronic transactions; by way of our correspondence and communication devices—email, phone calls, and mobile phones; through chips implanted in our vehicles, identification documents, even our clothing.
Add to this the fact that businesses, schools, and other facilities are relying more and more on fingerprints and facial recognition to identify us. All the while, data companies such as Acxiom are capturing vast caches of personal information to help airports, retailers, police, and other government authorities instantly determine whether someone is the person he or she claims to be.
This informational glut—used to great advantage by both the government and corporate sectors—has converged into a mandate for “an internal passport,” a.k.a., a national ID card that would store information as basic as a person’s name, birth date, and place of birth, as well as private information, including a Social Security number, fingerprint, retinal scan, and personal, criminal and financial records.
A federalized, computerized, cross-referenced, databased system of identification policed by government agents would be the final nail in the coffin for privacy (not to mention a logistical security nightmare that would leave Americans even more vulnerable to every hacker in the cybersphere).
Americans have always resisted adopting a national ID card for good reason: it gives the government and its agents the ultimate power to target, track and terrorize the populace according to the government’s own nefarious purposes.
National ID card systems have been used before, by other oppressive governments, in the name of national security, invariably with horrifying results.
For instance, in Germany, the Nazis required all Jews to carry special stamped ID cards for travel within the country. A prelude to the yellow Star of David badges, these stamped cards were instrumental in identifying Jews for deportation to death camps in Poland.
Author Raul Hilberg summarizes the impact that such a system had on the Jews:
The whole identification system, with its personal documents, specially assigned names, and conspicuous tagging in public, was a powerful weapon in the hands of the police. First, the system was an auxiliary device that facilitated the enforcement of residence and movement restrictions. Second, it was an independent control measure in that it enabled the police to pick up any Jew, anywhere, anytime. Third, and perhaps most important, identification had a paralyzing effect on its victims.
In South Africa during apartheid, pass books were used to regulate the movement of black citizens and segregate the population. The Pass Laws Act of 1952 stipulated where, when, and for how long a black African could remain in certain areas. Any government employee could strike out entries, which canceled the permission to remain in an area. A passbook that did not have a valid entry resulted in the arrest and imprisonment of the bearer.
Identity cards played a crucial role in the genocide of the Tutsis in the central African country of Rwanda. The assault, carried out by extremist Hutu militia groups, lasted around 100 days and resulted in close to a million deaths. While the ID cards were not a precondition to the genocide, they were a facilitating factor. Once the genocide began, the production of an identity card with the designation “Tutsi” spelled a death sentence at any roadblock.
Identity cards have also helped oppressive regimes carry out eliminationist policies such as mass expulsion, forced relocation and group denationalization. Through the use of identity cards, Ethiopian authorities were able to identify people with Eritrean affiliation during the mass expulsion of 1998. The Vietnamese government was able to locate ethnic Chinese more easily during their 1978-79 expulsion. The USSR used identity cards to force the relocation of ethnic Koreans (1937), Volga Germans (1941), Kamyks and Karachai (1943), Crimean Tartars, Meshkhetian Turks, Chechens, Ingush and Balkars (1944) and ethnic Greeks (1949). And ethnic Vietnamese were identified for group denationalization through identity cards in Cambodia in 1993, as were the Kurds in Syria in 1962.
And in the United States, post-9/11, more than 750 Muslim men were rounded up on the basis of their religion and ethnicity and detained for up to eight months. Their experiences echo those of 120,000 Japanese-Americans who were similarly detained 75 years ago following the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Despite a belated apology and monetary issuance by the U.S. government, the U.S. Supreme Court has yet to declare such a practice illegal. Moreover, laws such as the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) empower the government to arrest and detain indefinitely anyone they “suspect” of being an enemy of the state.
You see, you may be innocent of wrongdoing now, but when the standard for innocence is set by the government, no one is safe.
Everyone is a suspect.
And anyone can be a criminal when it’s the government determining what is a crime.
It’s no longer a matter of if, but when.
Remember, the police state does not discriminate.
At some point, it will not matter whether your skin is black or yellow or brown or white. It will not matter whether you’re an immigrant or a citizen. It will not matter whether you’re rich or poor. It won’t even matter whether you’re driving, flying, or walking.
After all, government-issued bullets will kill you just as easily whether you’re a law-abiding citizen or a hardened criminal. Government jails will hold you just as easily whether you’ve obeyed every law or broken a dozen. And whether or not you’ve done anything wrong, government agents will treat you like a suspect simply because they have been trained to view and treat everyone like potential criminals.
Eventually, when the police state has turned that final screw and slammed that final door, all that will matter is whether some government agent—poorly trained, utterly ignorant and dismissive of the Constitution, way too hyped up on the power of their badges, and authorized to detain, search, interrogate, threaten and generally harass anyone they see fit—chooses to single you out for special treatment.
We’ve been having this same debate about the perils of government overreach for the past 50-plus years, and still, we don’t seem to learn, or if we learn, we learn too late.
All of the excessive, abusive tactics employed by the government today—warrantless surveillance, stop and frisk searches, SWAT team raids, roadside strip searches, asset forfeiture schemes, private prisons, indefinite detention, militarized police, etc.—started out as a seemingly well-meaning plan to address some problem in society that needed a little extra help.
Be careful what you wish for: you will get more than you bargained for, especially when the government’s involved.
In the case of a national identification system, it might start off as a means of tracking COVID-19 cases in order to “safely” re-open the nation, but it will end up as a means of controlling the American people.
For those tempted to justify these draconian measures for whatever reason—for the sake of their health, the economy, or national security—remember, you can’t have it both ways.
You can’t live in a constitutional republic if you allow the government to act like a police state.
You can’t claim to value freedom if you allow the government to operate like a dictatorship.
You can’t expect to have your rights respected if you allow the government to treat whomever it pleases with disrespect and an utter disregard for the rule of law.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, if you’re inclined to advance this double standard because you believe you have done nothing wrong and have nothing to hide, beware: there’s always a boomerang effect.
