The globalists have seen fit to launch a new scheme to number every person on the face of the planet. The scheme is called ENUM, purportedly standing for e-numbers but when I look at it I see enumerate. The plan calls for every individual to have one 11-digit number instead of a number for telephone, one for fax, a separate e-mail address, etc.
A forum of some of the worlds foremost telecommunications companies aptly named the ENUM Forum met last week and have determined that the technology needed can be developed to direct messages directly to particular phones, faxes and e-mail just by using the individuals 11-digit assigned number. U.S. State Department representative Julian Minard advised the committee that the U.S. saw the merit in the coordinated global numbering system.
First, they want to digitally scan your individual features with biometric technologies and convert the information into a barcode and put it into national and international databases. Now, they want to assign you an individual number. Isn't the Social Security tracking number enough? They told us it would never be used for identification. Try getting a bank account and tell me it isn't used for identification. Even Colin Powell, a globalist in his own right, admitted on Fox News on June 17th that the SSN is a tracking tool.
This new scheme will be sold as convenient but it is nothing more than an information-compiling tool and another way to condition you to accept the new global slave system. Once again, I must urge you; resist enumeration! Assert your sovereignty and do not allow yourself to become a slave to the New World Order!

ENUM: Driving Convergence in the Internet Age Washington Post Article on ENUM, April 22, 2001
ENUM is Convergence
ENUM (RFC 2916) is the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) protocol that will assist in the convergence of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and the IP network; it is the mapping of a telephone number from the PSTN to Internet services--telephone number in, URL out. ENUM was developed as a solution to the question of how to find services on the Internet using only a telephone number, and how telephones, which have an input mechanism limited to twelve keys on a keypad, can be used to access Internet services.
The word "ENUM" refers to the IETF protocol that takes a complete, international telephone number and resolves it to a series of URLs using a Domain Name System (DNS)-based architecture.
Because ENUM puts telephone numbers into the DNS, it allows for a wide range of applications based solely on a phone number. Probably the most exciting application is an improvement in Voice over IP, in which telephone calls can be made over the Internet. Other applications include addressing for fax machines, e-mail, instant messaging, and web sites. The possibilities are enormous.
A wealth of information exists about ENUM and its development by the IETF. You are invited to read more in-depth information on ENUM in the Frequently Asked Questions section of this site, in NeuStar's paper, ENUM: Driving Convergence in the Internet Age, or in documents available on the ENUM Resources page.
NeuStar's ENUM Public Trial
NeuStar is excited to bring to you our first public trial of ENUM services. NeuStar's ENUM Public Trial has been designed to allow equipment manufacturers and service providers to test a publicly shared database and to use numbers registered in that database to test client resolvers. Once your registration for the Public Trial is received and accepted, you will be able to register up to five numbers for provisioning. Each number accepted can be registered for up to five different services. More information is available in the Trial Information section of this site.
About NeuStar
NeuStar, Inc., founded in 1996, is the leading provider of critical clearinghouse services that enable communications networks to interoperate. Whether administering crucial public resources (telephone numbers), managing vital real-time network routing databases (number portability routing registry), or exchanging data for provisioning and billing, competing communications service providers rely on NeuStar as their trusted third-party provider of these services. Since 1996, NeuStar has been the company the communications industry turns to for neutral, trusted support. It demonstrates its reliability in managing large databases, consistently executing millions of transactions daily, maintaining secure and confidential data, and enabling the secure exchange of network and business information to ensure interoperability between next generation networks. NeuStar has been selected time and time again by the industry in open competitive procurements to provide first-of-a-kind critical services.
NeuStar's corporate mission is to lead and serve the industry as a trusted neutral third party. Neutrality for NeuStar is not a platitude; it is our identity, embodying the impeccable, high-quality, even-handed service essential to the central role we play in the industry. We are committed to impartiality and fairness, and our staff has a history of recognizing the importance of understanding and working successfully with the various industry participants and respecting their differing perspectives within the confines of regulatory environments. Our adherence to the tenets of neutrality does not come from a desire to please nor is it considered an obligation. Rather, it is what we were established to do. Neutrality is a belief we embrace and have embodied in all of NeuStar's operations. For example, in NeuStar's provisioning of NANPA services, we satisfy specific strict criteria established for neutrality by the FCC and have been certified as a neutral third party in FCC order 99-346. To ensure our neutrality in this regard, we undergo a quarterly neutrality audit, making certain no gaps exist in the tight fabric of our impartiality. |
