The National Council on Identity Policy (NCIDP)

The National Council on Identity Policy (NCIDP) was born of the struggles of one tenacious survivor of domestic violence and stalking. The NCIDP continues her work with the help of many. Read more about the NCIDP...

The NCIDP in 2009: 14 years of fighting terror.

(Firewire News) - Long before 9/11, The National Council on Identity Policy was hard at it, in the trenches, making a stand against terror. In the wake of 9/11, then-President George W. Bush swore to "root out evil wherever it may be hiding", and declared the nation to be 'at war with the enemies of liberty, freedom and democracy'.

He failed. Utterly.

George Bush failed despite the fact that many infiltrators, "enemies of freedom", had been exposed prior to 9/11. Yet, even after 9/11, already known, they were still given free reign to run amok within this nation's borders; still given free reign to destroy every tenet of freedom, liberty and democracy; still given free reign to destroy American values; still are continuing to do so today.

Fundamentally, terrorism is the imposition upon the personal autonomous liberties and freedoms of individuals (plural); the imposition of fear and uncertainty in the ability to exercise such personal freedoms; the destruction of a personal sense of security in the ability to exercise such personal freedoms. At the heart of it, terrorism shares the very same root meaning as "violent assault" found at law and well described in a case called Keeble v. Hickeringill (QB, 1708) [discussed on this website on "The Heart of Violence & the Law" web page]. The principle difference between the legal meaning of "violent assault" and the meaning of "terrorism" is merely the scope and number of victims.

As for who these terrorist/assailants are: read the NCIDP site and you may discover a few.

We at the NCIDP are an organization of, about, by, and for survivors of violence. We have developed expertise on the subject of the care and control of personal identity information to the end that it empowers us to survive our perpetrators. We have only stumbled upon active, operating "enemies of freedom" by accident, and it was much to our shocked and terrorized astonishment and heartache.

We've been at this work since 1995, before much public awareness or concern about "identity theft". We guarantee that the subsequent epidemic of identity theft would not have happened and unfolded in the manner that it did if existing laws and identity protections were enforced consistently and appropriately. We believe that it's long overdue for U.S. Attorneys nationwide to get a little focus and enforce the laws in these matters and manners that we discuss here, and have discussed for more than a decade. Federal prosecutors could have prevented the identity theft epidemic from ever happening simply by prosecuting these existing laws consistently, as we discuss.

Another conundrum in this is that so few have exercised proper care and control of their identity information for so long that few remember that they have the rights to do so - yet some of us at the NCIDP remember that once upon a time we could not graduate from High School without passing a class that taught many of them. We wonder: How could so many be deprived of a practical education in this country? We hope that providing some information on this website helps inform and educate many far more efficiently than it has one case consultation at a time.

We will be adding interesting and in-depth content continuously. Please keep in mind that this website is largely the byproduct of our research and consultation work - we currently have no plans for developing this into a fancy, flashy website.

The usual cautionary note: we are only disclosing facts of law and propriety here, not providing legal advice to you in your particular circumstances.

An additional cautionary note for other survivors of violence: perps are everywhere, as the Firewire editorial in the header alludes, and you will reveal more of them than you ever dreamt in all of your worst nightmares if you attempt to exercise your rights, the rights we discuss on this site, fully. We acknowledge for you that every last one of them deserves a lifetime reservation at a Federal correctional facility, and that indeed they are prosecutable, but that that may not help ease your survival of that violence. That is, you will find many a voraciously vicious, abusive, violent wolves wearing sheeps' clothing among those you might expect to receive help from. This caution really cannot be strong enough - we have seen cases of violence and terrorism with willful, homicidal intent from so-called "helping professionals" purely in reaction to the efforts of victims of violence to survive that violence by exercising their most basic and fundamental rights as a matter of safety, rights lying at the heart of the very meaning of liberty, simply because those rights so essential to personal safety, and the actual and real safety of those victims, were inconvenient to those so-called "helping professionals".

Finally, on another note and as a teaser: if anyone, from your banker or car dealer to your local, neighborhood public servant claims that the Patriot Act (P.L. 107-56) requires that you give to them your social security number [to obtain whatever product or service you are seeking], they are violating 18 U.S.C. § 1028 (Identity Fraud) and 18 U.S.C. § 242 (Deprivation of Civil Rights Under Color of Authority) - and that only begins the list of felony crimes that you have just become the victim of. More on this coming soon to this website.
