I Am Not a Number Freeing America from the Id State

No one says it better than Claire Wolfe: "A passive, malleable, well-catalogued, and constantly observed population is what every tyrant in history has desired and what no government of the free would ever wish for," but that is exactly the kind of government the world -- including the U.S. -- is headed for. We're already compelled to carry a government-assigned number to get health care, enroll our kids in school, open a bank account, drive a car, hold a job, buy stocks, or even rent a video. We endure scans, warrentless searches, and inspections. Cameras peer at us everywhere. Rude, ignorant "security screeners" pat us down at airports while we cower submissively. The "Patriot Act" (in the name of "homeland security") encourages neighbors, business contacts, and strangers to spy and report on us if we seem "suspicious." And things are getting worse every day. This book is for people who want to take steps, within their own lives and their communities, to ensure that the surveillance stops here. It is not for the weak willed. As Wolfe writes, you can't have both freedom and a convenient, secure, go-along-to-get-along life. If you aren't willing to take personal risks, read no further. "We are about to be numbered like prisoners and tracked like cattle in a herd. Now we face three choices: to bow and be slaves, to rebel -- or simply to live free, in spite of their rule." If the last choice is one that appeals to you, this is the book for you. Claire Wolfe believes "we can create an entire Free America right under the eyes of -- right inside the gaping maw of -- the growing ID state." We are drawing a line in the sand and saying, "No, I am not a number. I am a free human being." If you are fed up, too, get I Am Not A Number and take those first steps toward living free.
