I have a pre-paid mobile phone and have always used pre-paid phones in which my identity isn't needed to activate and use the phone. I have noticed through the years that a rather high number of calls come from some organization or another claiming to be looking for "Johnny Whomeverthefuck". This person they are looking for usually is said to have an outstanding debt, and it so happens that my phone number is the number they have on file for "Johnny Whomeverthefuck" and if I am not "Johnny Whomeverthefuck" and can prove it by positively identifying myself for verification purposes they will update their records, then that would help us both out by eliminating wasted time on their end and frustration on my end.
So they want me to prove to them who I am in order for me to be left alone? Now for some of us like myself, just that reason in itself is absolutely offensive, but for many idiots it seems reasonable, and they comply and in all likelihood the harassing calls stopped. But the reason for this isn't what you think it is. This is the work of the government in most cases, who have some seriously flawed desire to know what phone number belongs to who, where they live, work , and hang out at, who they are having sex with, who they owe money to, what political party they are aligned with, who they donate money to etc, etc.
What they want is for every person to have a personal phone number issued like a SSN. That is your phone number for life, it goes with you if you change providers and no mobile phone will work with a non-government issued number. By law all mobile phones SOLD in the U.S. are required to have geo location features sufficient for them to track yo as it stands right now, even if the features are not available for you to use, like GPS services.
Their trying to eliminate anonymous activity on the internet too. They have pilot programs in some states where volunteers will have their drivers license "chipped" or their license number registered to some kind of authentication server that acts as a port to the internet and works regardless of the computer they are using. Their e-mail account, social media accounts and all accounts with vendors will all be tied to this online identity number, along with your phone number and your address and SSN and criminal record and credit report and educational records and who you finger banged in seventh grade etc, etc..
Still don't see a problem? Maybe you think "well they can't watch all of us , or even most of us". True, but they don't need to, they are recording us and everything everywhere all the time, and it's being stored in a giant facility in Utah. And if you happen to have an opinion about something the government is doing that isn't favorable to the government and you express that opinion to others and they don't like it, they can go sifting through all that data, listen to every phone conversation, read every e-mail, and see if there is evidence that you have violated any number of the over 900,000 (that's nine hundred thousand) "laws" now on the books in the" U.S.S.A", or my favorite "NaZionika", or perhaps your familiar with
"The Corporate Dark Alliance of Antimerica".
Regardless, do you think there's a chance you haven't broken a so called law? If so, do you think that they are above lying,? Sure, they are probably the least likely to break the law, that's why there are laws in place that exempt them from being held accountable for violating laws you and I are required to follow. Cops plunder, beat and kill without consequence, government attorneys prosecute innocent people using bunk evidence and judges bar real evidence that destroy the governments claims, but watching football or some reality show about gold digging whores and waiting for Thor or Jesus or Buddha to come back and straighten shit out is the prevailing solution as far as I can tell. And that's why the gods aren't going to come back. You can't help people who don't even try to help themselves.
