SHOW ME YOUR PAPERS

March 30, 2021

Some venues, and surely soon to be all, are requiring a “vaccine passport” called the Excelsior Pass which utilizes an app to scan a QR code verifying you have been vaccinated against COVID-19. This is just one of many steps to identify you, where you are, where you have been and how long you stay in any one place.

While there are many people who couldn’t care less about having their every move tracked, some of us object. We are being followed via GPS in our cars and cell phones now. We are identified by the stations and programs we watch on TV, our emails and text messages and social media posts. Virtually every move we make, every sound we utter, every credit card transaction we conduct and every location we visit is captured and stored in a Top Secret facility in Bluffdale, Utah known by the code name Bumblehive.

It has been reported that even the grounds keepers and custodial crew members at Bumblehive must have facility security clearances (FCL) commensurate with the highest level of classified access (Secret or Top Secret). Grounds keepers, etc. must only pass a background check equivalent to a Secret clearance in the event they happen across some of the classified information.

Of course, the government claims that the stored information is only to help identify terrorists or others who pose a threat to national security. This was proven by the number of people who happened to be in Washington D.C. prior to or on January 6, 2021. Many people who checked into hotels or made credit card purchases in the city or surrounding areas were contacted and questioned by the FBI simply because of that tracking. Some of those who were tracked lost their jobs and became known as suspicious persons just for their presence at, or near, the rally.

It became quite an experience for a sales person who made calls on businesses in the area at that time. He was contacted at home, two weeks later, by two men and a woman wearing suits, badges and carrying guns demanding the “subject” answer questions regarding his trip. A totally innocent sales contact turned into a frightening experience and labeled the individual a “potential domestic terrorist” simply because there was a political rally with an offshoot of mayhem and vandalism happening miles away during the time of his sales calls.

I understand the need to identify and track persons who have made or present a threat to our national security, I really do. However, I don’t see the need for my government to keep on file a purchase of Skoal Bandits my cousin or my neighbor made using a credit card. Yet they do.

Now, under the unassuming guise of health, we are expected to carry with us another tracking identifier. This is also questioned by some people, generally labeled conspiracy theorists, that the vaccine itself carries identifiers known as traceable radioisotopes.

Many people have valid concerns about China and their social credit system. The system allows some people to ride public transportation, leave and enter the country and even rent or own housing. Others, with lower scores are severely limited to what they can do, what they may purchase and where they can go and how they can get there. The Excelsior Pass looks to me to be of the same genre, just of a bit more veiled name to keep some people from being aware of the true reason for carrying one.

What about the people who have had, and recovered from, the virus thus have immunity and no need for the vaccine or choose not to have the injection? Will they be able to use public transportation, enter government buildings or continue to eat at their favorite restaurant without “showing their papers”?
