We knew that the state of Montana was resisting the REAL ID Act, but we just learned some of the details of that resistance. The story is so good we had to share it, in case you hadn’t heard . . .

Brian Schweitzer, the governor of Montana, wrote a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff. The letter informed Chertoff that Montana would not be complying with the REAL ID Act. Our quote of the day supplies one of the reasons for Governor Schweitzer’s rebellion. In response to the letter . . .

Secretary Chertoff called Governor Schweitzer and threatened him. Chertoff told Schweitzer that Montana residents would be banned from airplanes, or subjected to severe, time-consuming inspections at airports.

The Governor countered with his own threat, “How about we both go on 60 Minutes a few days after the DHS starts patting down Montana driver’s license-holders who are trying to get on the planes and both of us can tell our side of the story.”

Chertoff didn’t like that suggestion. He said, “I see the problem. We need to get this fixed.”

Well I say good for Governor Schweitzer, he sure knows how to stand up to the overbearing DHS. It is also less commonly known that a great many states have outright refused to have anything to do with Real ID. I believe in the end, the whole concept will have been a complete failure and billions of dollars worth of waste.

In the past I studied the content and decided it was not that big a deal. At present, I just feel that is a waste of tax money due to the resistance to the program and the probability of it being killed by either of the next Presidents. Speaking of Presidential candidates, do we know what any of their stances on Real ID is?

More Information on the Real Idea Act of 2005

New Hampshire passed legislation in the state banning them from submitting to the Real ID Act.

The battle continues on I suppose.

My thoughts exactly, except I`m thinking it`s gonna be a staged car accident. They`ve been overplaying the suicide card for too long with the scientists.

While I salute Governor Schweitzer's stance on this, I understand that the Department of Homeland Security will in the end ram this down his state's throat as well as the other state's who are outright refusing it. It won't be through physical violence however where one might think, it will be through events like I outline in this thread about the economy collapsing.

Political Collusion of a President and Congress in Collapsing America, The Fall of the New Rome

By President Bush, Vice-President Cheney, and Congress causing the economy to collapse through driving us to the current position of being $900 Trillion in debt because of a war we did not need, as well as other events that led to the current state of mismanagement of our nation, the "almighty dollar" will collapse altogether soon enough, ushering in the Amero, making one step closer to the biochip, Verichip/Digital Angel, which will connect later to the Real I.D. Act by the Neural Implant Chipat the latest in 2020.

Also as well is the thread here I speak about where the Bilderberg Group is acting behind the scenes through controlling the Council on Foreign Relations, to effect the foreign policies which drives us into war to begin with.

Bilderberger : The Global Agenda, Eugenics, Global Warming, And Biochiping Sheeple

These are the events that will connect to the Real I.D. Act later on through issues arising like the collapse of the economy, the drive toward unifying a national identification through the necessity of streamlining all Drivers Licenses, and through the intent towards implanting the citizens with a tracking device like the biochip. This will enable the your Drivers License, Social Security Number, Credit Cards, Medical Records to all be utilized simultaneously within the same device through reverse Divide and Conquer, or Conquering through Division by casting the bits and pieces of the technology and laws to the four corners of our nation as well as the world, and driving them back together through the subtle shift and manipulation of enacting them by agencies like Homeland Security.

DYepes, I submitted your thread to DIGG as well, so it can gain some outside attention and will bring in other people researching it outside ATS, so maybe we can cross-reference people looking into this between the ATS Community as well as the regular internet areas.
