Secretary of State Hillary Clinton put at least one foot in her mouth in stating a major geopolitical truth, inadvertently or otherwise, about the secretive, elitist, globalist organization, The Council On Foreign Relations, and the tremendous influence and power it wields over the US Government.  Her remarks came during a major speech she was invited to give at the new at the new CFR Washington DC branch.
 
Speaking to CFR President Richard Haas from the podium, Clinton - not an official CFR member - said, "Thank you very much, Richard, and I am delighted to be here in these new headquarters.  I have been often to, I guess, the 'mother ship' in New York City, but it's good to have an outpost of the Council right here down the street from the State Department." Mrs. Clinton then turned to the audience and continued, "We get a lot of advice from the Council, so this will mean I won't have as far to go to be told what we should be doing.

[...] Clinton might just as well have described herself as a CFR puppet.  Whether her remarks were intended to be 'humorous' isn't known.  Important truths often slip out under many guises and this 'confirmation' by Clinton is one of the more obvious unspoken truths in how major American Foreign policy is shaped and controlled by the CFR.

The CFR is made up the elite in politics, business, media, and finance. They are committed to an authoritarian globalist agenda, which seeks to dissolve American Sovereignty and Freedom. They have ardently promoted the North American Union modeled after the EU. The Council on Foreign Relations has outlined their agenda in a document called Building a North American Community . Director of International Economics for the Council Ben Steil stated that the world must "abandon unwanted currencies, replacing them with dollars, euros, and multinational currencies as yet unborn."

Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations, Secretary of the Treasury, Timothy Geithner stated that he is open to the idea of a global currency to replace the dollar. Unlike Bilderberg, the Council on Foreign Relations is more open to the press. However they have ardently pushed a globalist agenda to weaken American sovereignty including the North American Union modeled after the EU.

Former Congressman John R. Rarick warned us about their agenda: "The CFR, dedicated to one-world government, financed by a number of the largest tax-exempt foundations, and wielding such power and influence over our lives in the areas of finance, business, labor, military, education and mass communication media, should be familiar to every American concerned with good government and with preserving and defending the U.S. Constitution and our free-enterprise system. Yet, the nation's right to know machinery – the news media – usually so aggressive in exposures to inform our people, remain conspicuously silent when it comes to the CFR, its members and their activities."

Much like Hillary's honest statement the elites have spoken openly about their agenda and contemp for our nation and its citizens. Committed Globalist and long time director of the CFR, David Rockefeller in a speech at the 1991 Bilderberg Convention stated "We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty on an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries." http://bit.ly/vh7r6

Masonry is a religion, a "naturalistic religion"... and still more, Masonry teaches in the higher degrees, that "it alone is the only one true religion of all mankind", aiming to unite all religions and will eventually unite the world in brotherhood... it is the same aim that the one of the New Age Movement... a new "World Order"!.

Freemason Albert Churchwood writes in his book about the connection between Freemasonry and the religion of Babylon: "But the secrets these operative Masons had were received from the Chaldean Magicians."

“Masonry is a search after Light. That search leads us directly back, as you see, to the Kabalah. In that ancient and little understood medley of absurdity and philosophy, the Initiate will find the source of many doctrines; and may in time come to understand the Hermetic philosophers, the Alchemists, all the Anti-papal Thinkers of the Middle Ages, and Emanuel Swedenborg.” - Albert Pike, Morals and Dogma, 28th Degree, XXVIII - KNIGHT OF THE SUN, OR PRINCE ADEPT, p. 741

“It is generally agreed that the biggest single influence in the modern expansion of ritual magic, and the occult explosion in general, in the Western world, was the Golden Dawn. This magical fraternity, founded by Freemasons at the end of the 19th century, developed a complex ritual system with ten degrees of initiation relating to the Cabalistic Sephiroth.” - Janet and Stewart Farrar, The Life and Times of A Modern Witch, Phoenix Publishing Company, p. 121

Freemasons jailed in Fiji over sorcery claims: report
(AFP) – Jul 15, 2009

AUCKLAND — A New Zealand man spent a "wretched" night in a Fiji jail after police raided his Freemasons meeting when frightened residents suspected witchcraft, according to the New Zealand Herald.

The man, who did not wish to be identified, blamed "dopey village people" for the raid on the island of Denerau in which 14 members of the Freemasons Lodge of Lautoka were herded into police cars and jailed for the night.

Police also seized lodge paraphernalia, including wands, compasses and a skull.

The man told the Herald that Tuesday night's meeting was "interrupted by a banging on the door and there were these village people and the police demanding to be let in".

Nothing sinister was going on but "such is the nature of life in Fiji" they were taken to a nearby police station, he said.

The lodge secretary showed police a copy of the permit allowing the meeting, but was told the permit was not the problem.

He said the group had to spend the night locked up in conditions that were hot and uncomfortable because "there was nowhere to lie down".

Police director of operations Waisea Tabakau told Legend FM News in Fiji that the group were being investigated for "allegedly practicing sorcery", the Fiji Village website reported.

The New Zealand man said that when they were freed the following morning, they were told their release was on the orders of the prime minister's office.

Freemasonry is a centuries-old, worldwide fraternity which traditionally practises secret rituals. Its members deny there is anything pernicious about the rituals.

Profile: Asif Ali Zardari: Tuesday, 16 June 2009
Asif Ali Zardari has always been one of Pakistan's most controversial political figures and yet he has risen to its most powerful office - the presidency.

He found himself in major trouble in 1990 when he was accused, among other things, of tying a remote-controlled bomb to the leg of a businessman and sending him into a bank to withdraw money from his account as a pay-off.

In 1996, when another president sacked the PPP government, he was arrested and charged with a number of offences including the murder of Mir Murtaza Bhutto, his wife's brother.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/4032997.stm

With all this corruption under his wing. It is no wonder he cannot take any jokes about him.  As any Joke against Zardari can lead to a 14 years of jail time.

Attacks on Al Aqsa mosque have intensified since the beginning of the year. The zealous Jews are eager to build their Third Temple in our generation. Already the Sanhedrin Court has been revived and detailed blueprints for the Third Temple have existed for the past four years. Since 1987 rabbis have created a "Temple-in-waiting” in the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem. Basically a computerized visualization for the Third Temple and the production of garments, vessels and other items required for restoration on the Temple services. The Temple Institute an organization pioneering the publication of research material on the Third Temple have already created and creating apparel for the high priest, priestly garments; the eleven sacrificial incense spices, urns, ewers, incense pans, forks, shovels, and carts; the gold and silver mizrak (vessels used to dispense sacrificial blood on the altar); the golden laver, flasks and measuring cups; vessels for the meal offerings; the golden menorah (lamp stand); silver trumpets; and the list goes on…

Since the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 A.D., the Jewish people have been praying for its rebuilding. Orthodox Jews - the denomination most desirous of rebuilding the Third Temple - recite three times daily the words: "May it be Thy will that the Temple be speedily rebuilt in our own time." To the Jews building the Third Temple is their duty. It is the house where “yahweh” will dwell. 

Some Christian sects and especially the Evangelical Christians support the Jews efforts to rebuild the Third Temple. According to their Bible, when the Temple is resurrected the Messiah who the Jews are waiting for will appear; however this Messiah is actually the Anti-Christ (False Messiah) to the Christians. Upon the appearance of this False Messiah, Prophet Jesus will appear once again and rule over his Kingdom. 

The Temple of Solomon is significant to the Freemasons as well. Their name “Masons” is derived from the builders (masons) who erected the First Temple under Prophet Solomon.  Chiram Abiff according to Freemasonry was the Master Mason who built the First Temple, and he is highly regarded in the Freemasonry Order. According to them Chiram Abiff was murdered and then raised by the Master Mason with the "strong grip of a Lion's Paw." The Masonic ritual involves this same scenario of raising the new initiate into the light from darkness with the "strong grip of a Lion's Paw."

Prophet Suleiman was granted the power to command the Jinn by Allah (swt).  The Jews falsely claimed that Prophet Suleiman was a sorcerer. After his death, the Jinn (devils) introduced black magic to the people (Jews) and claimed that Suleiman used this magic to have such great power and a vast empire. This black magic is known as the doctrines of the Kabala; the same doctrines of the Freemasons and the Jews.

Allah says in the Quran: “They followed what the evil ones gave out (falsely) against the power of Solomon: the blasphemers Were, not Solomon, but the evil ones, teaching men Magic, and such things as came down at babylon to the angels Harut and Marut. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: "We are only for trial; so do not blaspheme." They learned from them the means to sow discord between man and wife. But they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah's permission. And they learned what harmed them, not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers of (magic) would have no share in the happiness of the Hereafter. And vile was the price for which they did sell their souls, if they but knew!” (2:102)

The hope to return to Jerusalem and to rebuild the Third Temple is the dream of the Jewish people, of the Evangelic Christians as well as the Freemasons.

Jerusalem – Ma’an News Agency – Israeli police allowed 45 far-right Israelis to tour the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in the Old City of Jerusalem in what Palestinians viewed as a provocation.

The settler group visited the area marking Ninth of the month of Av on the Jewish calendar, which is observed in commemoration of the destruction of the first and second Jewish Temples, which once stood underneath where the Al-Aqsa Mosque now stands.

Believed to be the location where the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven during his Night Journey, Al-Aqsa is the third holiest site in Islam. The compound, with the golden Dome of the Rock, is a focal point of Palestinian national pride. It is especially sensitive because some extremist Jewish groups seek the demolition of the present-day mosques and the construction of a “Third Temple.”

The director of the Islamic endowment (Waqf) office in Jerusalem, Sheikh Azzam Al-Khatib, said that Israeli police escorted the settlers to protect them. He explained that they entered in groups of 12 to 15. No physical confrontations were reported.

On Tuesday evening, right-wing Israeli groups rallied inside the Old City of Jerusalem near Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. Police closed Al-Wad road to protect them and facilitate the demonstration. Palestinian shop owners were forced to shut down their shops at 6:00pm.

Some of the Israelis assaulted Palestinian Jerusalemites and their properties near the Silwan Girls School in the Mughrebi Gate area. Six Palestinians were injured.

Jewish groups entering Al-Aqsa Mosque increase tensions between Palestinians & Israelis 23.07.09

Jerusalem / PNN – Israeli security allowed a group of 45 Ultra-Orthodox Jews to enter the Al-Aqsa Mosque late Wednesday morning, according to Azzam Al-Khatib, the director of the Al Aqsa Foundation for Waqf and Heritage.The Israeli police escorted the settlers inside the mosque grounds in groups of 12 to 15, the director said.

The settlers’ visit marked the Ninth of Av on the Jewish calendar, which commemorates the destruction of the first and second Jewish Temples. These temples, considered sacred to Jews, once stood on the grounds where the Al-Aqsa Mosque is now located.

The foundation said in a statement that the incident sets a dangerous precedent for the mosque. The site of Al-Aqsa Mosque has become a source of increasing tension between Muslim Palestinians and Jewish Israelis. For many religious Jews, it’s where they must build a Third Temple to replace the first two. For Muslims, it’s where the prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven during his Night Journey. Both groups consider the site to be among their most sacred, and Muslims have long accused extreme-right Jewish groups of attempting to destroy the mosque and claim the land.

Evidence also suggests that Israeli authorities are using a new tactic of entering the mosque under the guise of foreign tourism — something that has occurred on more than one occasion. Earlier this month, a group of Israeli intelligence forces disguised as tourists entered the Haram Ash-Sharif (the compound that includes the mosque and the Dome of the Rock) and took photos of several sites, according to the Aqsa Foundation.

Witnesses also said the Jewish group entered the audiovisual control room next to the mosque and filmed there. According to mosque officials, this room is a sensitive area because it contains all of the mosques electronic devices and loudspeakers. The Aqsa Foundation was unsure of the objectives of this raid. In another tense confrontation in the area, the foundation reported that right-wing Israeli groups staged a rally near the mosque compound on Tuesday evening. Police closed Al-Wad road to protect them, forcing Palestinian shop owners to close early. Six Palestinians were injured by Israelis in this incident.

Jihad only way for Palestine, says scholar

By Anwar Elshamy - http://bit.ly/2814ns

A Muslim scholar yesterday said that liberating Jerusalem and Palestine could only be achieved through Jihad (holy war) rather than peace talks. In his Friday sermon, Sheikh Abdullah al-Bakri said Israel would never give up Al Quds (Jerusalem) through negotiations with the Palestinians and Arabs.
“The distorted Judaism claimed Jerusalem as a religious inheritance and part of their legacy which they can’t relinquish. Hence, Jews will not relinquish Jerusalem voluntarily or through talks even if they accepted to enter peace talks,” Sheikh al-Bakri told a congregation at the Omar bin al-Khattab mosque at Khalifa Town (South).
“As one of their leaders said that (the Israelis) may even give up Tel Aviv, (but) it is not possible for them to give up Jerusalem,” he pointed out Sheikh al-Bakri, who is an expert at the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, also criticised what he called attempts made by some Muslim countries to reduce the “religious subjects being studied at schools”, saying that Muslims should also deal with the Palestine issue as a “religious cause” rather than a “political or regional problem”.
“Palestine will only be liberated by loyal Mujahidin who the Prophet Muhammad told us about rather than by hypocrites or non-religious persons,” he added.
He slammed the silence of Muslims over Israel’s attempts to Judaise Al Quds and erase the Muslim and Arab identity of the city. “They (Israelis) want to replace the Arabic names of places with Jewish ones; (also) they keep digging under the foundations of the Al Aqsa mosque.” Last week, Israel’s transportation ministry unveiled a plan to replace traditional Arabic and English place names on road signs, keeping only their Hebrew versions. Currently most Israeli road signs are written in Hebrew, Arabic and English, using the traditional names in each language. Jerusalem is identified as “Yerushalaim” in Hebrew, “Jerusalem” in English, and “Al Quds” in Arabic.

Sheikh Khatib: We'll never give up al-Aqsa
Sharon Roffe-Ofir Published:  07.18.09 / Israel News

Thousands of Arab children headed to Jerusalem Saturday to celebrate the annual festival of the Al-Aqsa Children's Fund initiative, which prompts Muslim youngsters to donate their allowance in favor of the mosque and Islamic Movement institutions.

The movement's Northern Branch's Deputy Chairman, Sheikh Kamel Khatib, spoke to the children and stressed that Muslims will never give up any parts of the holy Muslim site. "The Jews should not be thinking that they can build their Temple on the ruins of the al-Aqsa Mosque," Khatib said. "This day won't come. Those who dream that we, the Muslims, will renounce part of the al-Aqsa mosque should know that their dream will not see the light." 

New faces but the same message of a New World Order. 

Kissinger: Obama's 'task' is to help create a 'new world order'
http://bit.ly/16xLK5
President Nixon's Secretary of State, the aging Henry Kissinger, recently told CNBC that he believes the current world economic crisis is a "great opportunity" for President-elect Obama to help create a "new world order."

"I think that his task will be to develop an overall strategy for America in this period, when really a "New World Order" can be created. It's a great opportunity. It isn't such a crisis."

"The phrase 'new world order' traces back at least as far as 1940, when author H.G. Wells used it as the title of a book about a socialist, unified, one-world government," writes Drew Zahn. "The phrase has also been linked to American presidents, including Woodrow Wilson, whose work on establishing the League of Nations pioneered the concept of international government bodies, and to the first President Bush, who used the phrase in a 1989 speech."

In that 1989 speech, the elder Bush told Congress, "A new partnership of nations has begun, and we stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment. Out of these troubled times, our fifth objective – a new world order – can emerge: A new era … in which the nations of the world, east and west, north and south, can prosper and live in harmony."

Africa's new world order
By LISA VAN DUSEN, WASHINGTON BUREAU

Of the three legs of U.S. President Barack Obama's foreign trip last week -- to Moscow, the G-8 in l'Aquila, Italy, and Accra, Ghana -- the African stop was the most interesting and not just because of the symbolism. [...] There is a montage of firsts that comes from an American president who provides not only a new narrative bridge to the rest of the world but a visual bridge to a different political history.

[...] Obama's broader message to the Ghanaian parliament was that no continent is an island in a new world so small that no island is an island anymore. "I see Africa as a fundamental part of our interconnected world," he said.

In a place where cellphone saturation and adaptation have revolutionized life -- from the way farmers determine their prices to how people wire money to how doctors diagnose patients in remote villages -- people understand the word interconnected. The message was also that, "Africa's future is up to Africans," which may have been as much a message of empowerment to the legislators of one of Africa's most stable democracies as a caution to America's main rival for their attention.

Pope calls for a new world order
Barney Zwartz July 9, 2009; The Sydney Morning Herald

POPE Benedict XVI has proposed a new world political authority "with real teeth", possibly in place of the United Nations, to enforce an ethical financial order and end the global financial crisis. Calling for more aid, a bigger role for trade unions and an economic system aimed at the common good as well as profit, the Pope said only a moral market could end the crisis and solve world poverty.

The proposals were in his long-awaited encyclical - the second-highest level of papal teaching - released in Rome yesterday morning Australian time, before the G8 leaders gathered in Italy to discuss the global crisis. [...] His suggested political authority would manage globalisation, revive economies, stop the crisis deepening, protect the environment and regulate worldwide migration. It would need to be universally recognised and given power to ensure compliance from all countries.

Interesting Opinion from a Christian perspective:

Consider for a moment the following quotes. "Maintain humanity under 500 million in perpetual balance with nature," "Guide reproduction wisely encouraging fitness and diversity," and "let all nations rule internally, resolving external disputes in a world court." Sayings you may hear in popular circles today, or perhaps the national media? Everywhere you turn, we are constantly bombarded with reports concerning obesity, abortion, global warming, diversity, and an ever growing world population. It may surprise you, however, to know that these quotes are not the headlines of a news paper article. Instead, these quotes originated from the Georgia Guidestones.

Revealed in 1980 in Elberton, Georgia, the Guidestones is a colossal 25,000 pound granite monument consisting of four 16-foot-high slabs surrounding a central column. Written in Babylonian cuneiform, Classical Greek, and Egyptian hieroglyphs this monument espouses its own ten commandments. Also written on the four sides of the capstone are the words, "Let these be Guidestones to An Age of Reason." Perhaps the creator of this memorial may have desired to leave its reader with the wisdom of creating a utopia here on earth, but some have taken the suggestions of the Guidestone to be a blue print for a New World Order. Termed as the ten commandments of the antichrist, the inscriptions are thought to be an esoteric proposal from a secret brotherhood for a new world society. However, they may simply be an elaborate hoax as well. Regardless, the words advocated on the monument are starting to have a ring of truth.

[..] Here are some statists that you may not have known. Within the US, black women are 3 times more likely than white women to seek an abortion. 64% of all abortions are performed on unwed mothers. 86% of all abortions are performed on women whose family income is less than $59,999 a year. [..] According to a 2002 survey by the Guttmacher Institute , nearly 90% of insurers cover abortions. What is the significance of the Guttmacher Institute survey? If private insurers are covering abortions then the proposed National Health Care should as well.

[..] Surgeon General nominee Dr. Regina Benjamin, a devout Roman Catholic, supports Pres Obama’s agenda on Abortion. Secretary of State H. Clinton confirmed that for the Obama administration the term "reproductive health" includes abortion. [..] Even Pres Obama told Planned Parenthood supporters that he planned to sign into law the pro-abortion Freedom of Choice Act once he was elected to office.

Still, these are isolated statements made by US officials and does not constitute the initiative of a global society, correct? Pres Obama, when explaining his decision for the repeal of the global gag rule, said, "For too long, international family planning assistance has been used as a political wedge issue, the subject of a back-and-forth debate that has served only to divide us, it is time that we end the politicization of this issue."

[..] Approximately 42 million children are aborted every year globally. That is an average of 115,000 children a day. 83% of those abortions performed globally are obtained in developing countries. The relationship between Pres Obama and Planned Parenthood is significant as they help him procure his global agenda. According to the Planned Parenthood website, Planned Parenthood international is in 17 countries.

Does the Pres of the USA, its Secretary of State, or Speaker of the House have anything in common with the Georgia Guidestones? Only that the philosophies of the two seem to be in agreement. None the less, given the current trend of euthanizing specific demographics, we must understand that there is an apparent agenda being perused. Does that make Pres Obama the Anti-Christ? No, but the actions of his administration are setting the stage for the return of Babylon and her king.

Jerusalem’s population increases 1.8 percent
May 20, 2009
JERUSALEM (JTA) -- About 10 percent of Israel's population, 760,800 people, live in Jerusalem, according to new data. Jerusalem's population increased by 1.8 percent in 2008, according to data released by the Jerusalem Institute for Israel Studies on Wednesday, on the eve of Jerusalem Day.

Jews and other non-Arabs make up 65 percent of Jerusalem's population and Arabs make up 35 percent, according to the data. In 2008, the Jewish population increased by 1 percent and the Arab population increased by 3 percent.

Jerusalem's population breakdown by religion is 476,100 Jews, or 64 percent; 247,800 Muslims, or 33 percent; 12,600 Christian Arabs, or 2 percent; and 2,600 non-Arab Christians, or 0.3 percent; and 8,500 unaffiliated, or 1 percent.

The study reported that between 1967 and the end of 2008 Jerusalem's population increased by 186 percent, with the Jewish population increasing by 149 percent and the Arab population increasing by 291 percent.

Also in 2008, 2,100 new Israeli immigrants made Jerusalem their home.

----------

Israeli governments have set out with all determination to implement the Jewish vision of Jerusalem as the "eternal, undivided capital of the Jewish state."

According to Raed Salah, Israel “has announced that it has earmarked $150 million to Judaize the Old City and to increase the number of synagogues around the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

“We have to keep [Jerusalem’s Jewish-Arab ratio] at 70-30, more or less,” chairman Uziel Wexler of the Jerusalem Development Authority told The Washington Post. “It you breach it, it becomes a political issue and Jerusalem is very sensitive.”

Added Jerusalem’s Likud Mayor Ehud Olmert: “We look at Jerusalem as our capital and the only way we can achieve this is by having a very substantial Jewish majority.”

The Middle Eastern conflict and Freemasonry are uniquely tied together, it all evolves around and is correlated to King Solomon (1024-967 B.C.E), the son of King David (1107-1007 B.C.E), the Holy City of Jerusalem, and the Temple at Mount Moriah. Thus, over seventy-five (75) percent of the Freemasonic worldview and philosophy is constructed on the building of King Solomon's Temple.

The Masonic claim to King Solomon's Temple is a lot less controversial and without the overt political and antagonistic contradictions that exist amongst the three major faith traditions, but nevertheless the sacred edifice of King Solomon's Temple lie the basis for Freemasonry to exist. The three Blue Lodge Degrees (Entered Apprentice, Fellow Craft, and Master Mason) and this writer suspect the majority and subsequent degrees (4th-32nd and Royal Arch Degrees) to follow, will still adhere to the theory and philosophical trend of emphasizing the fraternal importance of King Solomon's Temple.

For Christians, rebuilding the Jewish temple is a fulfillment of end-of-time prophecy. The books of Ezekiel, Daniel, 2 Thessalonians, Matthew, and Revelation predict that the Jewish Temple will be rebuilt, which will usher in a time of Tribulation -- the darkest days of humanity -- and the emergence of the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4). Already, stones have been cut and set aside for the Third Temple, and the Temple Institute is actively building vessels to furnish the Temple.

India is preparing to issue biometric identification cards to every one of its 1.2 billion citizens in what is being called "the biggest Big Brother project yet conceived," according to a published report.

This fresh piece of reporting just in from the Times Online:

"It is surely the biggest Big Brother project yet conceived. India is to issue each of its 1.2 billion citizens, millions of whom live in remote villages and possess no documentary proof of existence, with cyber-age biometric identity cards.

The Government in Delhi recently created the Unique Identification Authority, a new state department charged with the task of assigning every living Indian an exclusive number. It will also be responsible for gathering and electronically storing their personal details, at a predicted cost of at least £3 billion.

The task will be led by Nandan Nilekani, the outsourcing sage who coined the phrase “the world is flat”, which became a mantra for supporters of globalisation. “It is a humongous, mind-boggling challenge,” he told The Times. “But we have the opportunity to give every Indian citizen, for the first time, a unique identity. We can transform the country.”

If the cards were piled on top of each other they would be 150 times as high as Mount Everest — 1,200 kilometres."

The card will include a computer chip with either a fingerprint or an iris scan, the report says. The card may even be tied to criminal and credit histories. And last, but certainly not least, with just about 7 percent of Indian society registered to pay income tax, this new database of citizens -- potentially the largest ever attempted -- will certainly aid in the government's collection of funds.
