CENSUS 2000 is coming to your house and every residence in America. If animals could talk I’m sure even the barnyard would be scrutinized.

By Nancy Thomson

The 1990 census just about blew me away with its invasion of privacy, but that was mild compared to survey 2000. Ten years ago, your neighbor could become an informer if you failed to respond to census inquiries. Household owners were responsible for information given on the census form with a penalty imposed for incorrect or unanswered questions

No one was ever reported to have received a penalty from the government in 1990, but intimidation is a proven enforcer.

Just as in 1990, there is a short and long form mailed to every household. The Short Form (100-per cent questions) or the long form (100 per-cent and sample questions.) contains 6 population questions and 1 housing question. On average, about 5 in every 6 houses will receive the Short Form.

Under the supervision of the Commerce Department, the Census Bureau worked with the National Academy of Sciences to create this questionnaire.

This census survey is an enormous invasion of privacy and bears little resemblance to the original intent of assessing population count.

The Constitution provides for a census to determine representation in the House, and taxation of the states according to their numbers. This was to occur every 10 years, and there was to be an individual enumeration.

In 1790, the first census contained 6 questions.

As usual, our twentieth century federal government goes to great lengths to explain innocuous questions and justify any extra expenditure pertaining to the Census survey. They don’t explain their reason for the extensive prying into personal affairs, nor do they address the unconstitutional issue.

According to the Census Bureau, reasons given for the augmented size of the survey is the need to have an accurate distribution of resources under a wide range of Federal, state, local, and tribal government programs. More than $100 billion in Federal funds alone are allocated annually based on census data. This helps explain the reason why politicians on every level are scrambling to count every moving thing! Illegal aliens are also counted and given assurance the INS WILL NOT be privy to their papers.

An explanation concerning the progression of asking for added information blames policymakers, statisticians, and scholars, who by 1850 added questions on school attendance, illiteracy, and occupation.

In 1940, Congress mandated a Census of housing. Next came the desire to trace traffic congestion problems, use of carpools and what time people get to work!

Due to the increased desire to find out about every phase of a person’s life, the long form was born in 1940

Democrats in congress want an "estimated count" (unconstitutional) because they stated that many minorities in the cities didn’t get counted last time. Republicans insisted the individual count only be used. A politically compromised solution (which is unconstitutional) now allows a combination of both estimated and actual count to be taken.

States with large cities tend to elect Democrats so a larger count in these areas would provide this party more representation in congress.

Inner city funds flow in from Washington to help with police, education, housing, and other problems associated with crowded income poor residents. Money given to the overpopulated cities comes at the expense of other areas as politicians redistribute the wealth on a vote-getting basis.

Keep in mind, it was the states that set up the Federal government and donated enough money to sustain the small central authority. Now the bloated Federal government controls the states and everyone in them.

Let’s see what the Short Form 2000 census wants to find out.

In big black letters it states "Start Here."

Number of people.

Include: foster children, roomers or housemates. People staying here on April 1, 2000, who have no permanent place to stay, and people living here most of the time while working even if they have another place to live.

Then it goes on to enumerate all the people who should NOT be included: those in mental hospitals, correctional facilities, students, military personnel or people who stay at another place most of the time

Next they want to know whether their survey is reaching a house, apartment, or mobile home.

Who owns the domicile, is there a mortgage or loan. Is it free and clear without a loan, rented for cash rent, or occupied without payment of cash rent.

Question 3 wants information on each living person in this house, whether they are renting or buying. Those inhabiting the house are to be identified by number, such as person 1, person 2 and so on. Further information including phone numbers are required.

We have progressed to questions 7 and 8 that ask about Spanish/Hispanic heritage. Numerous questions concerning race are continually being asked. There are categories that are further subdivided, such as Mexican, Chicano, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Asian Indian, Filipino, Native Hawaiian, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Samoan, Chamorro, or other Pacific islander. However, the word European never appears. Evidently people of European descent are all loped together under the word "white."

All these relationships as well as ethnic background, age, and the continual questions concerning Spanish/Hispanic/Latino (in large black lettering) and add (in smaller letters) Asian, African, Chinese, Korean, Samoan, Guamanian etc

Finally the census bureau wants to have the answer to the relationships of all the people in the house, by their identified numbers I, 2, 3, etc. This whole page concerns race and relationships within the household. Are these people roomers, unmarried partners, in-laws, or foster children? The questions cover every combination imaginable. (And of course their race with Hispanic etc in large black letters)

The last page is for listing people whose names couldn’t fit on the other pages. In other words this page is for the overflow.

There are 2 numbers (in English or Spanish) to call if help is needed in filling out these forms.

The introduction to the Long Form Census Data states, "Census 2000 subjects were presented to the Congress on March 31, 1997. The Census Bureau recommended that all of the 1990 subjects identified as either MANDATORY, or REQUIRED be included in Census 2000. The Specific question wording will be presented to the Congress by April I, 1998." The emphasis is mine.

A list of 20 government departments and their abbreviations constitute the next half page.

Page 5 is completely taken up with the list of Federal users of Census Data.

Divided into titles Population, (the only ethnic group listed here is Hispanic) Industry, Occupation, and Class of worker. The last title is Housing

Opposite these subject listings are multitudes of government bureaucracies who are using this information.

Many sub-items are contained under the Population, Industry and Housing titles.

For example, under Housing there is: bedrooms, house heating fuel, kitchen facilities, rent, rooms, selected monthly costs, plumbing facilities, telephone service, value, vehicles available, taxes, insurance, utilities and fuels, tenure (owner/renter) and the year the structure was built. Many alphabet soup agencies, about 12 in all, are the recipients of this housing information with HUD’s name (Housing and Urban Development) appearing frequently.

Information gathered under Population and Industry are equally intrusive on a personal basis.

All the race questions similar to the Short Form household occupants are included (with special attention to Hispanics.)

An addition to the Long Form concerns, questions pertaining to each person’s marital status, educational level, including pre-school, kindergarten, regular school, college, private school, diploma and graduation status, and how well does each person speak English?

Again almost a whole page on the ethnic background of each person listed in the household is included in the education quiz.

Next the physical and mental state, of the individuals, their history going back to grandparents, military service experience, and any difficulty associated with the activities such as dressing, concentrating, or getting around inside of the home.

It is the financial questions which constitute a total invasion of privacy, inquiring into every aspect of a person’s business, salary, investments, profits, dividends, royalty income, or income from estates or trusts, mode of transportation used for work, and any information about their employer. One even has to record how many weeks and hours they worked in 1999, as well as each income source, every wage, salary, commission, bonuses or tips from all jobs.

Questions about housing cover everything from electricity to listing the type of every vehicle, the kind of stove, toilets, bathtubs, and showers. Of course the number of bedrooms must be listed.

The census Bureau wants to know everything about renting (are your meals included?) owning, buying, and payments for fire, hazard, or flood insurance. What is the value of your property?

Do you have a condo, or mobile home? What do you pay in monthly fees? If you have a mobile home do you have an installment or contract loan?

After every person in the domicile has replied in writing to all of the questions you are still not free.

If there are more then 6 people at this address, the Census Bureau may contact you for the same information about these people. Anyone who does not return the Census survey can expect a visit from the Census taker.

By now it should be clear that this survey is used for social engineering and finding more ways to collect taxes. The Survey’s detailed financial information on every person in the US could provide the apparatus needed by the UN to impose an international tax on the US population. This has long been a goal of the internationalists to establish a steady income for world government.

In case of a national emergency that necessitates instituting martial law, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) is authorized to relocate people. FEMA can use the Census data to house strangers in a house that has extra rooms.

The enormous amount of information on every person in the United States will be stored in a database located in Washington.

Does that give you a sense of security?
