Smartworld - Identity Ecosystem
Tsze-lu said, "The ruler of Wei has been waiting for you, in order with you to administer the government. What will you consider the first thing to be done?” The Master replied, “What is necessary is to rectify names.” (Confucius, Analects XIII, 3, tr. Legge)

Part One: IDENTITY CRISIS
Cybersecurity has become the dominant concern for geeks and elites around the world, as governments and corporations attempt to exert control over the Internet to protect their interests. News is hot with updates on the TPP and the like, but there is little coverage of the push to control identity.
For many years, the anonymity afforded by the Internet has prompted discussions about the problem of not knowing who exactly you’re interacting with online, i.e. how can you tell it’s a real person, and not a dog? More to the point, how do you know who to trust?
Most of the technical aspects to resolving this issue have been successfully tried and tested for many years now, as those with the most to lose have implemented Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems which offer secure solutions for digital transactions. This has created a powerful industry, especially for military applications; in fact, the market for IAM is expected to grow to $12.3 billion by 2014, from just $2.6 billion in 2006.
This industry is now eager to expand into the civilian market, to provide each one of us with a unique global identification number, together with databases of all the personal information that makes us what we are. This is the age of e-governance, where just about everything is going online: relationships, government and business services, banking, and even law – increasingly these transactions can be done with a mobile device, bringing a whole new set of factors into play when it comes to identification.

Trying to Force Everyone on Statins & Where Big Pharma Can Shove Them
Dees Illustration |
A renowned UK professor is calling for all people over 50 to get on statins – cholesterol lowering and heart disease drugs like Lipitor and Crestor. Actually, Sir Rory Collins wants healthy and younger people on them too and wishes that “safety watchdogs” would stop accentuating the side effects.
Not only does this call come after more negative resulting studies on statin drugs, but this isn’t the first time a strong suggestion has been issued. Not too long ago an AMA mouthpiece suggested adding them to the water supply! And he wasn't the first one to want them in our drinking water. Mainstream media quickly jumped on the bandwagon to echo such a "Communist plot." A strong call to make that change appears in a video here. Before that, the American Journal of Cardiology wanted statins added as condiments with fast food items – to conveniently continue eating heart-damaging foods. They already are added into polypills automatically given to people who reach mid-life.
The CDC already reported that approximately one in four people over age 45 take statins compared with one in 50 as of just 15 years ago. Another widely published study implored the same "everyone over 50 on statins, healthy or not" message back in May. As early as 2008, doctors were wanting children as young as eight on them - wow, they really want us on these pills! Is this how a Brave New World begins?
