While the international ACTA treaty and United States’ CISPA
legislation are setting the stage to clamp down on the world wide web,
technocrats are working overtime to try to pin down your identity and
make sure all your activities are thoroughly monitored and under
control.
The European Union is now moving to create a mandatory electronic ID system
for all EU citizens that would be implemented across Europe to
standardize business both online and in person, authenticating users via
a common ‘electronic signature.’ A single authenticating ID would guard
access to the Internet, online data and most commerce. It is nothing
short of an attempt to phase in a Mark of the Beast system, and a
prominent Bilderberg attendee is behind the scheme.
Neelie Kroes is the EU’s Digital Agenda Commissioner,
and is introducing legislation she hopes will force “the adoption of
harmonised e-signatures, e-identities and electronic authentication
services (eIAS) across EU member states.”
The extent of such a system would, of course, expand over time,
particularly as many EU nations have resisted the big government
encroachment of ID requirements on civil rights grounds, which even now
smack of the Nazi regime’s draconian “papers please” policies that
empowered their other avenues of tyranny. According to EurActiv.com, Neelie Kroes would later “widen
the scope of the current Directive by including also ancillary
authentication services that complement e-signatures, like electronic
seals, time/date stamps, etc,” as the supra-national body attempts to corral more nations into participation.
This big brother system will be implemented in Europe first and later
pushed in North America and the remainder of the globe, as the world is
nudged step by step towards a total cashless control grid in the name
of ‘safe, verifiable commerce,’ and of course, in the name of
“security.” Nevermind that the plan would invite the hacking of
identities and fast track forgeries. In the case of Europe, special
emphasis is placed in part on “establishing a truly functioning single market” — part of the larger EU goal even now floundering.

Holder orders women's restrooms open to male
On orders from Barack Obama’s Department of Justice, officials with
the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith have given permission for a
38-year-old man to use the women’s restrooms on campus.
The report comes from Campus Reform.org, which explained that the individual also is seeking to have someone pay for a sex reassignment surgery to change from male to female.
Already living as a female, the individual, identified in the report
as Jennifer Braly, started using women’s restrooms on campus, but
quickly was the subject of complaints from women who saw him there.
The university had tried to make accommodations, designating gender-neutral restrooms in some buildings.
Not good enough, however.
Braly filed a complaint with the Civil Rights Division in the Department of Justice under Attorney General Eric Holder, school officials reported. The DOJ contacted the school.
“[T]he office of civil rights basically made its expectations through the attorney and the decision was made to respond to that direction,” said Mark Horn, the vice president of university relations. “[T]he DOJ complaint caused revisiting of our thinking.
“In the eyes of the law this individual [Braly] is entitled to use the bathroom that she identifies with,” Horn said.
The DOJ complaint was filed by Braly after the university told him to use any of the gender-neutral restrooms on campus.
“One problem to this is there are not unisex bathrooms in every building,” Braly wrote in an online essay about how other people should contribute to his surgery costs. “Especially the two main buildings where most of my classes are, so I have to go to a completely different building to use the restroom.”
While the university offered to convert other restrooms to gender-neutral, Braly said that wasn’t satisfactory.
The Campus Reform report said while anatomy matters little to the DOJ, it still remains a concern for other students.
“‘I disagree with allowing a male to use the female restrooms,” Amanda Shook, a senior at UA, told Campus Reform. “Even if they are a transgendered person, they are still a man, and should have to use the men’s restroom.”

OHIO Human Trafficking Bill OK’d by House
The Ohio House on Tuesday unanimously passed legislation that would
toughen the penalties for people convicted of human trafficking and
provide more protections and services to victims to shield them from
prosecution and aid their recovery from the traumatic experiences.
“It’s basically written with a victim-centered approach,” said State Rep. Teresa Fedor, D-Toledo, sponsor of House Bill 262.
The bill, which is expected to reach the Senate floor later this week, creates a diversion program that upon completion erases criminal charges facing young trafficking victims and allows adult victims to expunge their criminal records if the crimes resulted from their enslavement.
The bill increases trafficking to a first-degree felony that requires a prison term of 10 to 15 years. It also requires that people who pay to have sex with minors face felony charges, and convicted pimps and traffickers must register as sex offenders.
The legislation allows victims to sue traffickers in civil court, and it permits assets belonging to traffickers that are seized by law enforcement to be used to pay for services needed by victims.
“It has three prongs to it: prevention, protection and prosecution,” Fedor said.
The bill has a provision that says traffickers who intimidate or threaten victims in an attempt to keep them from testifying in court will face second-degree felony charges of obstruction of justice.

‘Barcode Everyone at Birth’ BBC 60 Seconds with SCIFI Writer Elizabeth Moon
This week science fiction writer Elizabeth Moon argues that everyone should be given a barcode at birth.
“If I were empress of the Universe I would insist on every individual having a unique ID permanently attached - a barcode if you will; an implanted chip to provide an easy, fast inexpensive way to identify individuals.
It would be imprinted on everyone at birth. Point the scanner at someone and there it is.
Having such a unique barcode would have many advantages. In war soldiers could easily differentiate legitimate targets in a population from non combatants.
This could prevent mistakes in identity, mistakes that result in the deaths of innocent bystanders. Weapons systems would record the code of the use, identifying how fired which shot and leading to more accountability in the field.
Anonymity would be impossible as would mistaken identity making it easier to place responsibility accurately, not only in war but also in non-combat situations far from the war.”

Emanuela Orlandi Was 'Kidnapped For Vatican Sex Parties,' Claims Father Gabriele Amorth
The Holy See was directly involved in the disappearance of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi in 1983, according to a contentious accusation by the Catholic Church's leading exorcist. The Rev. Gabriele Amorth claimed that the girl's kidnapping was a "crime of a sexual nature."
"Parties were organized, with a Vatican gendarme acting as the 'recruiter' of the girls," Amorth told La Stampa, according to a translation by The Telegraph. "The network involved diplomatic personnel from a foreign embassy to the Holy See. I believe Emanuela ended up a victim of this circle."
Amorth, who was appointed by Pope John Paul II and has carried out more than 70,000 exorcisms, is no stranger to controversial public statements; according to The Sun, the exorcist has called Harry Potter the "work of the devil," and has claimed "the devil was at work in the Vatican" when discussing the Catholic Church's sex scandals.

Mother, son to go on separate missionary trips this summer
ADRIAN, Mich. —
Mother and son Judy Ackley and Dennis Ackley will be doing some serious
traveling this summer on missionary trips, though to very different
parts of the world.Judy Ackley and Dennis Ackley are both partners with Judy’s husband and Dennis’ father, Larry Ackley, in Larry’s Custom Cycles in Adrian.
On June 15, Dennis Ackley will leave for a remote area of western Alaska to help run a camp for Yupik Eskimo children.
The camp, operated by the Assemblies of God in Alaska, offers the children a week of traditional camp activities such as swimming, hiking, horseback riding and crafts, along with Bible classes.
The Ackleys belong to the Bethany Assembly of God Church in Madison Township.
The camp where Dennis Ackley will go is 500 miles from the nearest city, Anchorage, and 17 miles from the nearest village, called Emmonak. To get there, Ackley will fly to Alaska, take a bush plane, then go by boat and four-wheel drive vehicle to the camp.
At the camp, called Agaiutim Nune — Yupik for Place of God — Ackley will teach classes and help with running the camp. He will be working with David Boyd, a former Bethany Assembly of God children’s pastor who, with his wife, Mary Boyd, now is director of the Boys and Girls Missionary Challenge, a program of the Assembly of God churches that supports missionary work.
Boyd asked Ackley to go on the trip. Another young man and some church leaders from Alaska also will help them.
Ackley, an avid hunter who has been on some “pretty remote hunting trips,” said he looks forward to the chance to go to Alaska, and also to working with the children.
“It’s the opportunity to work with some needy kids,” said Ackley, who is making his first missionary trip.
At the camp, to which all supplies have to be brought, everyone will sleep in tents. The camp lasts a week and about 90 children ages 8 to 12 years old will attend In all, he will be in Alaska two weeks, with a couple days spent in Kodiak after the camp is finished, Ackley said.
Soon after Dennis Ackley returns, his mother will head to Cha-am, Thailand, where she will help care for the children of Assembly of God missionaries on retreat from India and southern Asia.
Judy Ackley is a veteran of missionary trips, having traveled twice previously to Thailand as well as to El Salvador and Mongolia. She made her first trip, to Thailand, 12 years ago.

JERUSALEM (The Blaze/AP) — The Israel Antiquities Authority says
archeologists digging at a Jerusalem site have found the oldest artifact
that bears the inscription of Bethlehem — a 2,700 years old seal with
the name of Jesus’ traditional birthplace.
Eli Shukron, the authority’s director of excavations, says this is
the first time the city’s name has appeared on an artifact from this
period. According to The Jerusalem Post,
this finding provides tangible evidence that the ancient city of
Bethlehem existed. The clay seal, or bulla, was found in a Jerusalem
dig.
