    Currently one must provide ID at ANY age in most States in America to purchase alcohol at a liqueur store or enter a bar, Age limit normally 21.
    Except if you look over 21.
    But damn that NWO for stop kids from drinking.
    Currently a driving license or passport is acceptable. It is impossible to log convictions on to the current ID used however in 2011 the Real ID card will be introduced as a multi purpose ID card. This card has the potential to be swiped and updated by the authorities if convicted of an alcohol offense.

    If you are illegally caught carrying cans or being drunk they can swipe your card on the spot. Using RFID they have the potential of track & trace on every can you bought and where you got it in case it ends up in the wrong hands. Your card will show up everything. Etagging is the way things are going.
    Or they do what they do now. Why do they want to make it more complicated?

    And where is this in the Lisbon treaty?

    Actualy, that's not quite correct. My friend lives in Boston and his mother was carded going into a bar. She was 47 at the time. I was carded in New York when I was 33 (and looking every day of it :().

    But this has been common in the States for years. Nothing unusual really.

    They don't even accept duplicate driving licenses in some states on liquer sales. I lived in MA, CA, WA, for almost two years. I had to show state ID all the time at the age of 30.


    The difference is that microchipped ID will be 100% track & trace on sales and is opened to to any form of a restriction that is implied on it.

    If you are caught drunk in public or drinking in public they could ban you from drink for 6 months. If you are caught again in that period they could throw the book at you.


    Your card would show up the conviction if it is swiped in a liqueur store.

    I hate using this argument but... if you've done nothing wrong, this won't affect you.

    Please explain how track and trace on booze sales would impact negiatively on people who don't violate the law.

    And this is a bad thing because.......
    People being charged for drunk driving is a evil NWO scheme?

    And where is this mentioned in the Lisbon treaty?

    The card doesn't store any convictions. So that would mean every off license would need access to police records. Not going to happen.

    +1. The cards wouldn't hold much more than your name, a unique identifier and possibly a photo but in reality they'd probably go down the traditional route and have a photo printed on the card itself.

    It's not really important for the cards to hold any information. Name , rank and serial number are all that's needed. Should any government decide to legislate that all alcohol sales be monitored by a central computer, communication between the card terminal in the store and the central computer, could, theoretically, inform the shopowner / assistant whether or not that person could be sold alcohol. Having the necessary equipment in the store could be a requirement to getting an alcohol sales licence.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭starn


    WHY WOULD ANY GOVERMENT WANT TO DO THAT.
    How does it help them control the world by knowing smeone prefers Miller to Bud and Vodka to gin

    Would it not make more sence to monitor whch books someone buys and what newspapers they read. Then weater or not they prefer red wine to white.

    Your just clasping at straws. None of it makes any sence

    Just take a minute to think about what your writting and ridiculous it looks.

    I'm not sure of figures tbh and even if I was, it would be somewhat pointless as I don't think even RTDH expects this to happen too soon. Most current RFID systems simply hold a unique identifier like a PPSN or SSN or employee number. It would technically be possible to make one hold a lot more but power issues come into play so for the moment, I wouldn't expect many passive RFID tags to have a capacity >1mb. I'm sure somebody else who spends a lot more of their time on this stuff can correct me.

    The real issue isn't capacity. Tampering and synchronisation between the centralised 'rap sheet' and the one contained on the card would be bigger problems. That's why nobody would rely on the card to hold the info.

    I unignored you because I actually had a feeling you were baiting. Looks like I was right.

    Now, if you'd care to actually think about my post after casually browsing over it you'll understand what it is I'm saying.

    You know what, I'll save you the trouble of disturbing your brain cells and cover it for you.

    If any government should decide to .... doesn't mean any government WILL. As to your "question" of why any government would ... how the hell would I know what any future governemnt would legislate for?

    My post makes no mention of any governemnt caring what a person buys. It simply states that a computer would inform the sales person whether or not a customer should be allowed purchase alcohol.

    I have no idea why anyone would want to monitor what books are read by specific people or what colour they prefer their alcohol to be.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭starn


    Your right I havent read all the thread nor do I intend to. From what Ive read from your last few posts you belive that there is a sinster NWO conspiracy { Which has no relevence to the lisbon treaty unlees Im missing something. But as Ive pointed out in other posts Iam quite slow. So mybe you can explain in further} to control peoples acces to achol

    Now Im sorry but why go to all the trouble of hassel of doing this. Instead of say controlling peoples acces to books, newspapers, the internet, etc, etc. Which would make a lot more sence to me if I was trying t control the world. Then telling Joes Sixpack. Hes not getting one to night. Or moitering what his favorite beer is.

    As for your personal attack I suffer from quite sever Dylsxia. Which I mention in other posts in other forums. So I apologise if it makes my posts a little hard to read. But dont for one minute thing im going to let you barnd me a idiot for it. But given you also clearly suffer from a debilitating mental disability [quite obiously more severe then mine] Ill forgive you and forget about it this time

    Most current RFID smartcards contain 64KB chips that store a copy of the information equivalent from a passport's data page, including name, date of birth and a digitized version of the passport photo. There are newer high-capacity 64kb chips (Similar to High Capacity SD cards) that could store and update your financial, medical, demographic data, basically everything about you.

    Once the card contains your 18 digit social security or PPS number the scanner can match this against a central database. With the way the Euroopean Union is handing over all this information because of this "war on terror" to the US authorities it would not surprise me if it is already up and running.

    It wouldn't make any sense for the card to store records beyond the basics. They would just get hacked and therefore be unreliable as a source of info.

    They would have to have the basics, Ie if someone got pulled over by the cops and scanned away from a connection. A certain amount of info would be required.

    It would probably contain nothing more than is on a current license until its scanned. This is the proposed Real ID card with a sim chip and RFID but I have my doubts about the messianic pyramid. :P

    Topic Definitely on target.

    The FIRST thing that will be introduced when this poisonous NWO pact is ratified will be to roll out the pan European National ID in card ASAP. Europe cannot let their US bed fellows go ahead with this card without following suit in this Global "War on Terror". :rolleyes:

    The Government is only waiting for the EU to call the shots as they cant afford it themselves so they say.

    May not be visible on the card. I presume blood group and would be optional as may be required in an accident. Only a sample, Im sure the Real Real ID would be no more different than the current US driving license except for the implant.

    What legislation is stopping them from rolling it out now?
    What exactly in the Lisbon treaty would allow it? An actual quote from the treaty would be nice although I'm aware you haven't read it so I'm not holding out much hope.
    natlidcd.jpg

    What exactly is the point of posting this rubbish? Why do the NWO conspiracy theorists always have to exaggerate things and make up scary pictures? Is it perhaps because there is no real substance to their argument so they resort to making stuff up? Why can't you make your case without resorting to cheap gimmicks?

    You said "this is the proposed Real ID card". Yet it's clearly not because as Ciaran500 pointed out, there are several things on that picture of a card that won't be on the real Real ID card. But instead of admitting you're wrong, as usual you are trying to wriggle out of it.

    Will you please admit that that is not a genuine sample of a Real ID card but is in fact some scaremongering propaganda from some dodgy source and that you were wrong to say it was the proposed card?

    One of the manifestos of the NWO is to control everyone on this planet with chipped ID cards prior to the verichip implant. The process must be done in steps. Once the Lisbon EU Constitution gets passed new security measures will be drafted in forcing Ireland to accept any new security measures laid down.

    The UK which is the Guinea pig for the EU NWO superstate has already started the Chipped ID card and data process. They have a huge data base which they share personal information with their bedfellows in Europe and the US

    Do you honestly think that the Lisbon treaty would mention security measures concerning the acceptance of chipped Ids would get their support from Ireland.

    This was NOT Even mentioned at all and the treaty was still rejected, they wouldn't have a hope in hell of passing it if it was. However one of the manifestos on the Lisbon treaty was "security", however they kept a lid on ID card issue because they know better.

    The same subject was brought up a three years ago by the UK and EU commission/. It is only a matter of time before it will raise its ugly head again.

    The Lisbon Treaty Enshrines EU law as superior to Irish law

    No provision of this Constitution invalidates laws enacted, acts done or measures adopted by the State that are necessitated by the obligations of membership of the European Union referred to in subsection 10° of this section, or prevents laws enacted, acts done or measures adopted by the said European Union or by institutions thereof, or by bodies competent under the treaties referred to in this section, from having the force of law in the State.”

    The Treaty can be changed without another referendum

    Article 48 of the Treaty enables changes to be made to it after ratification without the constitutional requirement for another referendum in Ireland. This is confirmed by the independent Referendum Commission on its website which states: there “may” be a requirement for a referendum to implement such changes.

    Hands over power in 60 areas of decision making to Brussels

    The Lisbon Treaty provides for more than 60 areas of decision making from unanimity at present to qualified majority voting. Some of those areas include decision-making on immigration, sport, culture, transport and the appointment of the European President and Foreign Minister.

    Immigration is one of the key reasons for the introduction of chipped smart cards.

    Well we're making progress anyway. I'm feeling generous so I'm not going to labour the point any more that there is no mention at all of the ID cards in those texts. I can accept that what you've quoted above might help facilitate the introduction of these cards in that it appears to give the EU some more control over Irish affairs.

    Now for my other two questions that are still unanswered:

    What piece of legislation is currently preventing the introduction of these cards?
    What exactly is in the Lisbon treaty that will allow for these cards?
    Will you admit you were wrong when you claimed that other card was the proposed Real ID card?

    The Lisbon Treaty Enshrines EU law as superior to Irish law

    No provision of this Constitution invalidates laws enacted, acts done or measures adopted by the State that are necessitated by the obligations of membership of the European Union referred to in subsection 10° of this section, or prevents laws enacted, acts done or measures adopted by the said European Union or by institutions thereof, or by bodies competent under the treaties referred to in this section, from having the force of law in the State.”

    The piece of text you quote does not match the heading you gave in bold. The Lisbon Treaty does not enshrine EU law as "superior" to Irish Law.

    The Treaty can be changed without another referendum

    Article 48 of the Treaty enables changes to be made to it after ratification without the constitutional requirement for another referendum in Ireland. This is confirmed by the independent Referendum Commission on its website which states: there “may” be a requirement for a referendum to implement such changes.
    Half-true. There are situations where changes to the Treaty could have been performed without the need for another referendum. There are situations where changes to the Treaty required re-ratification, which - in Irish terms at least - meant another referendum.

    The onus, therefore, would be on anyone making a claim that the treaty allowed X to be done without re-ratification, to show that X was covered by the "no re-ratification" clause.

    Of course, given that you haven't read the Treaty, RTDH, its not terribly surprising to find that you're not representing it accurately. You've put your trust in a third party rather than doing your own research. Ironically, that third party has misled you, which is ironic when you consider your offered reasons for not reading the Treaty in the first place.
    Hands over power in 60 areas of decision making to Brussels

    The Lisbon Treaty provides for more than 60 areas of decision making from unanimity at present to qualified majority voting. Some of those areas include decision-making on immigration, sport, culture, transport and the appointment of the European President and Foreign Minister.

    Immigration is one of the key reasons for the introduction of chipped smart cards.
    This is again half-correct. Some aspects of immigration law were handled by the Treaty. The imposition of a national ID card is not an immigration issue.

    I think you need to rethink your use of "fact" and maybe look up "credible sources" while you're at it. ;):D

    Blogs aren't credible sources?
