In recent email dispatch it was announced that the Center for Disease Control has discovered 13 cases of human plague in four states leading to the proposal for a new National People Identification System (NPIS) to use implantable, satellite GPS based, active RFID for tracking the movements and interactions of all humans to control the spread of disease.
In an unusually frank interview the chairman Frank-Lee Im Yokin announced that “In the event of a serious disease outbreak in schools or the workplace they would be using a depopulation program to limit the spread of disease to protect the economy.” When asked about the social costs of killing school children Mr. Yokin scoffed and said that “Disease, microbes and viruses know no boundaries. They can strike anywhere. We must be prepared to kill, kill, kill! Blood and gore, maimed little bodies!”
This reporter was unable to get in any further questions before the men in white coats regagged Mr. Yokin and dragged him back to his office. The actual dispatch from the CDC is below:

MMWR Dispatch Vol. 55 / August 25, 2006
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report
Human Plague - Four States, 2006
Plague is a zoonotic disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis.
In 2006, a total of 13 human plague cases have been reported among residents of four states: New Mexico (seven cases), Colorado (three cases), California (two cases), and Texas (one case).
This is the largest number of cases reported in a single year in the United States since 1994.
Dates of illness onset ranged from February 16 to August 14; two (15%) cases were fatal. The median age of patients was 43 years (range: 13-79 years); eight (62%) patients were female. Five (38%) patients had primary septicemic plague, and the remaining eight (62%) had bubonic plague. Two (15%) patients developed secondary plague pneumonia, leading to administration of antibiotic prophylaxis to their health-care providers.
This report summarizes six of the 13 cases, highlighting the severity and diverse clinical presentations of plague and underscoring the need for prompt diagnosis and treatment when plague is suspected.
For the full MMWR Report, please see this link.
[Please note, the above dispatch is no joke. NPIS is, I hope, since I just made it up… Of course, it sounds scarily like NAIS and REAL ID. One must wonder, “If they are excusing NAIS on the grounds of some theoretical, far fetched threat like terrorists, BSE or Avian Influenza then what excuse will it take to tag us? After all, it is for our own good.” -WJ]
[UPDATE: All joking asside, someone gave me this link. See page 42, #7:
The next step is to unfold the roadmap that would portray the deployment efforts required in the configuration of a new national people identification system.
Scary… -WJ]

Comment Jan — August 27, 2006 @ 4:59 pm
Considering that there are more cases of plague in humans than avian flu in humans in the US, it’s a wonder they haven’t included those pesky wild rodents and outdoor pets in the NAIS. Fleas are too small to tag. Also, since prompt treatment is essential, before lab testing has isolated the bacteria, the 48 hr trace back would be ideal in this situation. Altogether now………do the Stomp and be sure to burn everything.
(As a historical note, the reason the Black Plague spread through Europe in the Middle Ages was because people used to kill cats thinking they were familiars of witches. With so many dead cats, the rodent population exploded and spread the disease.)

Everyone must look at the big picture,If they get you to register your land and your animals,then they will control the gardens you grow and animals you raise.When there agenda is complete and the small farmer is out of business.Corporate will then control the food,when they control the food,they control the people.
PLEASE don’t let that happen.

What if GM rodents and such are released in the wild and then operating along the same lines as GM cross pollination in grains?
Which always reminds me of a cheesy movie that contained a great catch phrase which went something like this, “Nature always finds a way”.

Comment Mr Dirty Nails — August 27, 2006 @ 10:45 pm
Walter,interesting link, I read the document. The thought of such a thing is not plesant but it sounds alot like an internal business security program. I am not sure it is for real, although I’m certain the concept is. Of course I did some research and found the following, “Mauritius” is an island nation off the coast of Africa, it lies about 560 miles east of Madagascar. It was first settled by the dutch , later by the french who lost it to the engish. It won its independence in 1968. The govt of this island plans to make it the “business hub’ of the Indian Ocean and a center for “high tech” ( this would explain some of the specifics in the document) there is alot more info on Wikipedia under Mauritius. Anyway in the document it refers to “the island” and some of the references to certain govt offices are not consistent with our USA; names and such, so I suspect this refers to this islands govt/business community or by coincidence it is actually a company by the same name trying to sell a marketing idea. I am very much against such a plan and such a plan would be consistent with any plan aimed at a national id system, there are a lot of points to learn from here even if it doesn’t apply to us in the context, it gives a view into how such a system would work and the thinking behind the process.
[Aye, I was amused(?) that they used the same term… -WJ]
Comment LEE — August 28, 2006 @ 9:23 am
Great stuff Walter!
That document is just crazy-scary!
We’ve gotten on as a nation (which used to be the strongest in the world) for how long without any sort of National ID? Drivers licenses are suitable ID, passports for those cross-border trips. We must ask why we are being catalogued, registered, subjected, indexed, profiled? In a land where “all men (gals, your in here too) are created equal” what possible good can come of large-scale socio-demographic databases? Does the Far-Christian Right really want to isolate the rest of us whose views don’t match? Are the increasing amounts of us living at Povertys threshold to be identified for further exploitation?
Our government wants a touch of the “short, sharp, shock” to wake itself out of its stupor. Why vote at all if our Real ID chips in purses and back pockets identify us along economic, social or party lines? Sure, Democracy is on the march–right out of the USA. If it’s flowering, it’s the bud of a carnivorous plant.
The proto-fascist state filling the void wants us recorded and frightened to control us because they are scared we won’t like what they’re getting up to. There is a worse chance of being hurt in a car accident than by a terrorist attack. There are more national terrorist groups in the US wishing to over throw the government than islamic fundamentalist groups wanting to end western rule. They’ve been around far longer.
Identifying us or our livestock won’t make us safer. Just bigger targets for the terror of week.
Comment Podchef — August 28, 2006 @ 10:31 am
The world will do this at some point in time. All of us will be told that we have to be chipped(or whatever they will call it). It is coming. I heard on the radio last week that a company in Ohio that has a gov. contract has done away with their tags for ID. The reason was that it was too easy to copy for people that didn’t work there to enter. So, they are chipped in the hand with all personal info on it. The people working there love the idea and have “complied” saying it’s so easy and they don’t have to remember their tags anymore. SO, what happened to the good old thumb print? IDing people will happen and it will be worldwide.
Comment Suzy Minck — August 28, 2006 @ 11:16 am
Suzy it might be that this is something that will happen………or maybe we will enter another dark ages instead. It is about time. Societies do not last for ever they rise and fall. It is time for the next fall and maybe that will ironically save us from the government. Maybe this sort of thing will even be the thing that is what produces the next fall in a revolt against the government.
Comment Mark V. — August 28, 2006 @ 11:24 am
Folks, I don’t believe this is any laughing matter. Has any one of us not read the scriptures and the reference to “the mark of the beast” in the end times? We must not let Animal ID prevail, because I do believe it will lead to other even more sinister things.

Forgive me for interrupting our satire on the Plague, but this story should snap us back to the sadder reality.

Smile, we are all being watched for any violations of our USDA contracts. The assumption seems to be that we are guilty of just about everything including ruining the water commons, cheating taxpayers, running illegal bales of hay, filling up wetlands, sneaking too many sheep onto fields contracted for specific rotation schedules, you name it, We Are Guilty!
I especially like the part about all those images being much in demand by private entities.

I missed comment on Johanns’ “our herd” reference at the very bottom of the above linked story.
Whose herd?
Comment donna — August 28, 2006 @ 1:13 pm
Donna,
That would be the *national* herd–ha ha. Did you see that guy on the satellite photo waving his arse in the air–that was me mooning the camera!
This reminds me of the Ballykissangel episode from years ago where the Irish fellow knocked up a bunch of wooden sheep to populate the hillside for fly-overs from the authorities counting the sheep. Can’t remember what they’d done with the real sheep, but they weren’t where they were *supposed* to be.
We are being watched, recorded, quantified and subjegated. Big Brother is more real than real. Science and Technology are destorying the world and honest people faster than anything. There is no privacy any more and if we don’t stop NAIS there won’t be private property either. While the world is thinking how cool it is to look things up on Google Earth, that is only the tip of the iceberg. Those maps are like looking through frosted glass compared to what the Government has on us.
I’m not sure what the point is, but someone cares way too much what law-abiding, constitutionally protected citizens are doing 24/7/365. That we’ve allowed it thus far is understandable–we’ve had the wool from our own sheep pulled over our eyes. That we allow it to go on from this moment would be a shame. We all, as a nation, need to wake up to what politicians are (or are NOT) doing and who they’re doing it for. Don’t vote incumbents back into office. On a matter of principle. The road to hell is paved with good intentions and a second term only sends the handcart further down the path.
Each one of us would probably not consider themselves political, or a politician– I certainly wouldn’t have before NAIS. But the time to act is now, whether we like it or not. We need to vote the bad people out, cull the loosers and if there aren’t good people to place in their stead than we must be willing to fill the breach ourselves. We CAN fight this.
Now, excuse me while I go paint some things on my roof. . . .

Comment Harriette Jacobs — August 28, 2006 @ 7:02 pm
Scott, your comment about controlling food was right on the mark I think. A few years before NAFTA passed I was told by a very reliable individual that part of the long term plan for our country was to “urbanize it” and squeeze out the farmers. Then eventually most of the food would be imported and as I recall the words were “Then we can controll them with food.” Naturally we=government and them=us. It was a statement made by a rep. to a dem. who was himself a farmer. That particular man who considered himself a farmer first and a politican second was horrified. As was I. In fact at the time I didn’t believe they would do that. Now I do. The tagging of animals is just another step. They have already taken several on their path to wipe out small farmers (and American manufactering by the way)From what I can see the Dem. party is as guilty as the Rep. one. Distorting enviromental issues is a favorite tactic I think. For instance they ran many of the small farmers out of Oregon with the spotted owl story. The American public was grossly misinformed about that. The forests they called old growth averaged 40- 50 years old. The entire time the real old growth timber was being shipped out of Coos Bay to Japan by the ship load and no one protested that. But I guess no one was paying any one to protest that. After the loggers and mill workers lost their jobs the local economy crashed and many other jobs were lost. Most of those people owned small farms which they lost. The farms were bought (cheaply) and subdivided by land developers who sold $200,000 homes to Californians mostly. No one protested that either. Many mills went to Mexico which is why you can still buy plywood. I am not sure why the price of lumber did not drop then because in Mexico the lumber companies do not have to spend money for pollution control and just dump everything out on the ground. They don’t do impact studies or follow any of the enviromental laws they did here. And the workers only get paid the going rate for 1 live chicken per day. They no longer pay social security or 401ks or insurance or overtime or vacation. They don’t have any kind of safety or enviromental regulations to follow. The workers are treated very unfairly and subjected to dangerous situations and chemicals. I allways wondered why no one protested all the enviromental and human abuses that happen there. But again, I guess no one paid them to. A few years later they started in on the ranchers saying they were ruining the BLM ground by running too many cattle on it. The cattle were muddying up the streams. No one ever mentioned that 150 years ago there were hundreds of thousands of Buffalo in herds miles long running on that same ground and that they also muddied up a few water holes and even drowned and decayed in the streams by the hundreds every spring when the floods came. Some how the earth kept turning. Now go to the Boise area and see how many new homes have been built on land that a few years ago was ranch land. Some how a subdivision with it’s paved streets, side walks and high interest loans is not as disruptive to the ecology as a farm I guess. Nobody protested the building of houses on the same land the cattle were “destroying” a few years earlier. I don’t know about you but I kinda’ see a pattern here.

& the passenger pigeons darkened the skies for hundreds of sq. miles, their roosting sights destroyed by their droppings. They were not decimated by humans but their thinned flocks had adapted to a way of life that could not sustain in lowered numbers. They were a pandemic waiting to happen.
And all these years we have been so shamed (as members of a species) for their demise.

Dear Walter,
I signed onto your No-NAIS site to hopefully keep up with the current events of NAIS. I am now, however, totally disillusioned with your site because of the posting of the CDC & NPIS letter. It’s completely hokey and it totally discredits your site. Do you plan to continue these type posts? If so, I will not be needing your update feeds.
Please let me know if I need to unsubscribe.
Nancy
[Nancy, There is nothing hokey about the CDC article. The plague is 100% real. I received that article from them. NAIS is justified on less than the threat of the plague yet they are planning to take away our basic rights, freedoms and privacy. If they will do that on less threat then the plague then how soon until they start justifying tagging and tracking of people. When will they justify depopulation of people based on the greater ’social good’. By the way, you do know about REAL ID I hope. That is a system like NAIS for people - they just don’t call it NPIS. REAL ID is a system they are trying to put through for tagging and tracking people. Cheers, -WJ]

Comment Eric — September 6, 2006 @ 8:13 am
The plague is definitely real here in Colorado. Those cases were very real and one even here where I live in the Grand Junction/Whitewater area. We have prairie dogs in abundance in our desert valley and they are infected with bubonic plague. My cousins teacher caught the bubonic plague LAST YEAR (2005). She is alive today but it was a close call. There have been others around here that have gotten it for several years now. Sometimes it is relaesed and some times it is not. Our media here tries to inform people when they can but they are also dissuaded to. There are some that will report it anyway.
Animals like dogs and cats have gotten the bubonic plague here - it is called Rodent plague when the vets will admit to anything of a plague at all. Rodent Plague = Bubonic Plague.
Nancy #23 should read everything and use common sense to deduct the seriousness of the issues discussed on this page or the things said at the top. If you will note Nancy it was stated right below that it was made up but that it should be taken into consideration and for what reasons.
Several YEARS ago the option to have your BABY microchipped before leaving the hospital after birth was an option given to parents. Soon it will be done with or without your permission. I was born at home and so are the children in our church so we do not have that worry - but it will present others to us.
But Eric #25 is correct - there will be deaths for those who do not comply. Maybe not in the next 10 years. Maybe not in 20 yrs. Or maybe in 5 yrs. They will do what they want.
WE have to choose where we stand and stand true. People are next - and people are already being chipped voluntarily. Soon, as with all things, it will be mandatory. The choice is our own.

Beware the stooges who will try to rationalize the government propaganda. There is no conspiracy because by definition the government isn’t a conspiracy. Or so the thinking goes. They are still out to empty your pockets and control you. That is the reality of government and why our founding fathers put such strict limits on government.
