NationalId

From 911Encyclopedia:

The idea of a national ID was first supported by Larry Ellison of Oracle and later developed by many oher companies, including Schlumberger (->Oil). Assisting the government in its goals to gather massive amounts of personal information on citizens and non-citizens, Oracle, Inc. Chairman Larry Ellison has offered in the late 90s, to provide to the government free of charge the database software required to establish an interactive national ID card system. Oracle got its start when the CIA gave Ellison a contract in the 1970s to design a system to enable the agency to store and retrieve massive amounts if information in databases. Not coincidentally, the code name of that CIA project was "Oracle." The rush by the government to increase monitoring the Internet in 2001-2002 has the backing of a group of federal contract research facilities that have pounded out report after report warning about the threat of cyberspace to national security. These "think tanks" include Rand Corporation (->) and Analytical Services Corporation (ANSER->), who helped establishing the Institute of HomelandSecurity already in 1998/99. Investigative journalist Wayne Madsen (->) reported, that Mary Schiavo (->), the Transportation Department's former Inspector General and outspoken critic of lax airline security pointed out immediately after Sep11th, 2001: "(the) United States already had laws to prevent what happened on September 11th . . . they weren't being enforced."
