"Today, America would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles to restore order [referring to the 1991 LA Riot]. Tomorrow they will be grateful! This is especially true if they were told that there were an outside threat from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead to deliver them from this evil. The one thing every man fears is the unknown. When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly relinquished for the guarantee of their well-being granted to them by the World Government."
- Dr. Henry Kissinger, Bilderberger Conference, Evians, France, 1991
I just finished working out and as I was leaving a commercial came on the locker room TV, sponsored by NEXUS for the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative. I tried to find the commercial to post here, but there was no posting, but will post it when it shows up. The new chips in the cards, passports, and who knows what the range is on the sub-dermal embeded chips, but we know from the AMERICA: FREEDOM TO FASCISM movie that many of the corporations are already "tracking product" with this technology. THE CORPORATIONS ARE WATCHING YOU....I haven't even begun investigating who owns the technology for NEXUS, SENTRI, or FAST but I'll let you know what I find out...

ABOUT WHTI
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative is a result of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA), requiring all travelers to present a passport or other document that denotes identity and citizenship when entering the U.S.
The goal of the initiative is to strengthen U.S. border security while facilitating entry for U.S. citizens and legitimate foreign visitors by providing standardized documentation that enables the Department of Homeland Security to quickly and reliably identify a traveler.
