So says the government.
“In preparation for this year’s census, 140,000 workers were hired to collect GPS readings for every front door in the nation. Such pinpoint precision will certainly simplify the process of locating any individual or group that may be identified as a threat to “national security” in the future. Remember, for example, [...]

Bill Gates was recently featured at one of the TED conferences where he talked about the need for vaccines to help control populations.
This is exactly why I will always question the reasoning behind massive vaccinations like the one that is taking place in Haiti. I posted excerpts from this article recently.
