=========================================================================== The Schengen treaty and Electronic ID's. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holy Metrolopolis Stagon and Meteora Holy monastery of Meteora Republication of informative brochure of H.M. Stagon and Meteora The real face of the agreement. ------------------------------- By singing the Maastricht agreement and the creation of the E.U. without borders the need of regulating the border transfers arised.The Schengen agreement determines the control and transfer procudes of the citizen for the countries that have signed it.The operation of the agreement is being made within the use of an electronic information system with the collection and processing of private data of the citizens.An enourmous electronic filing system is established with the ability of processing data of millions of citizens. The operation of the system is based on the connection of the local national networks with the central computer of Strasburg.At any moment the Control Headquarters can know anything about the private life of each citizen.This means that the various nations are left forceless in front of the reality that enforces the totalitarian spirit of the european superpower. It is a full counterfeiting of the principles and values of the united Europe.The vision of the citizens for the peaceful living of the nations is crushed by the creation of a police state of controls and separations.A powerful electronic dictator undertakes the regulation of the humans fates and specifies their history. And this nightmare remains despite the adoption of supposed protection bills.The various reactions that have been caused show exactly the will of the citizens of the Europe not to exchange their personal freedom with their political and economical prosperity. The violation of principles and rights. With the Schengen treaty citizens sovereign rights are being violated and abolished together with and it is an assault against fundamental personal freedom.The Schengen agreement itself,in its spirit and substance,is illiberal, antidemocratic and anticonstitutional.Specifically the Schengen agreement induces: *Legalization of electronic filing with the institution and operation of specific information system (p.92-118) *Reduction of the human factor,overlooking of the individuality and variety and also vitiation of the concept of person andc onversion to a subject-object of information collecting. *Abolition of the secrecy of the private life and the right of the person to insulation and anonymity with the collecting and processing private character data. *Abolition the right to free reformation of the personality since the constant ability to access personal data of a person constrains the free will and its activation. *Constrain of the ability to announce to the citizens the personal data that has been processed (p.109,114.2). *Subversion of the innocence presumption.In case of incrimination of citizens it rests to their shoulders to prove their innocence !(p.25,40,96,99). *Cultivation of a climate of suspisiousness and incrimination of the citizens and even of their intentions ! (p.5.1d,e,25,40,96.2b). *Cultivation of a climate of social racism by characterising the citizens and sorting them into catalogs of non-wanted with subjective criteria (p.5,25). *Violation of the regulation regarding granting asylum and protecting the refugees with ambiguous terms,violation of the Geneve treaty (p.29-38). *Assignment to the proper mediums(!)of the right to surveillance within the borders of a country without its prior approval (p.40.1,2). *Lack of limpidness and democratic control with the inefficient legal protection of the citizens. *Contrast to the constitutions of the countries and to the international declaration of the human's rights. *Creation of a national threat with the use and processing of data from third parties that its possible hostile attitude against our country,now or in the future,can endanger the security and our teritorial integrity.In this spirit is placed the bill regarding "the protection of the person from the processing of private data".It is a law that only the protection of the Hellenic citizen doesn't assure.Its provisions are characterised of an intense obscureness of principles and measures that are self-contradictory.A range of intentional legal leaks leave unprotected the citizen,really compromised towards the control of the central control system. The voting of this bill was the essential precondition for the validation of the Schengen treaty from the Hellenic parliament.Its connection with the activation of the law(1599/1986) for the emission of electronic ID's renders it even more dangerous for the freedom of the Hellenic (Greek) citizens and therefore its immediate recall is needed. Electronic ID's --------------- For the effective operation of the Schengen Information System(SIS) the use of electronic ID's is needed.Because only with these the immediate and easy access to the information for each citizen is possible. The electronic ID's have two serious "advantages" for the information system: * The first "advantage" is the ability of the new ID to provide thousands of information for its owner.This information will be encrypted in a proper medium and will be possible to be read from a computer or some other electronic device. * The second "advantage" is the use of one unified coded number for each citizen.This unified number will be useful for the crossing and recovery of information.The ability of crossing information with the use of one unified number is the most powerful ability of the electronic Schengen Information System.One question is aroused:"aren't we already been filed","Don't they know everything about us the organisations that hold electronic database files?".The crossing of all these data is that what is added in the new information system.This means that collecting from many files (police,services,clubs,hospitals) will be possible so that a "profile" of the person is being made,an as much possible clear view of the person's principles,attitude and activities. Regarding the collection of private character information the concept of concidence remains undefined.The time,the motives, the purpose and the condition under somebody did something is diverse and should taken into account. Another use do have the information regarding the religious or political action of a person in the files of a club and another use get the files in the hands of a foreign religious medium or the employers or the police.The characterization of the citizens according their beliefs is accomodated! The problem that exists in this remarkable technology is the three limit posts that are in those types of lined barcodes and that correspond to the numbers 6-6-6.They are three limit posts that guide the scanner.The two at the edges are named guard bars and the central one central pattern.Special studies have shown that these three limit posts indeed show the image of 666.And we ask: * Why was there placed a central axis since it could be recognised by two safety bars or with none as it happens in the bar code Interleaved 2 or 5 type that contains 40 numbers but does not need any limit posts ? * Why is it separated from the limit posts in 6 digit levels? * Why in EAN-13 the first digit of the country code(for Hellas 520) is placed outside the symbols? Maybe in order not to destroy the 6 digit levels between the 666 ? * Why so much insistence on the number 666 since there exist technical possibilities for the use of another arithmetic combination? This reminds us the computer manufacturing company Apple that sold the first 299 P.C. AppleI computers at 666.666 dollars (Wall Street Journal 11-11-81). Another confirmation of the deliberate use of this number is the fact that there exist perspectives that this marking will be done with Forehead or Hand techniques in order to solve problems of stealing the card.Mr.Klotsonis -a legal counselor of the European Comitee that is based in Luxemburg-told us that at the primary discussion for the Schengen Agreementit it had been proposed that the citizens would be marked on the hand or the forehead.This proposal had been done and perhaps is reconsidered. But even if the number or the bar code is not visible there exist many possibilities that this number 666 is placed invisibly into a magnetic strip (that exists in many todays cards) or in SMD microchips as these that are being used in phone cards and other smart cards.Something similar has happen in the USA in 1980 when some citizens of USA returned their credit cards because in them existed the number 666 as a prefix.It was said to them that after 1982 it won't exist. Indeed it was disappereared from the one side of the credit card but was placed ,invisibly to the human eye, in the magnetic strip that was on the back side and was readed only by the computer. Conclusion ---------- The Schengen treaty with its limitless protectionism that enforces converts Europe into a police state based on the control and suspiciousness characterising and charging citizens and their intentions. * The electronic Schengen Information System (SIS) becomes a powerful center of information processing and provision and enforces a regime of "electronic dictatorship" and hard totalitarianism. * The ability of collection and processing information on a European range,this enormous electronic filing system, nullifies the human factor degrading the citizen into a simple information object,abandoned to the estimations and the will of those who collect them. * The connection of the treaty with the emission of new electronic ID's enhances the danger of a central and universal control.Each citizen will carry evidence about its beliefs and actions and these will be written on the new ID's. * The existence of the number 666 ,number of the "beast" of the Apocalypse,on them proves the connection of this control system with the impeding global dominion of the Antichrist.For those reasons the Orthodox Christians,as free citizens of this country,declare flatly our opposition to the validation from our country of the Schengen treaty and the emission of electronic ID's. We request: * The immediate recall of the validation of the treaty from the Hellenic parliament. * The immediate recall of the law 2472/1997 for the supposed "protection of the citizen from private data processing" * The cancelling of the emission of electronic ID's and especially of those with the number 666. * The preservation of the old ID's. * The correct and full informing of the Hellenic (Greek) people for those topics. * The carrying out of a referendum in order that the Hellenic people itself decide about such a vital subject. We want to make clear that if the goverment despite the intense reactions of the people proceeds to the operation of its decisions it will find us opponents as conscience objectors.We deny flatly taking the new electronic ID's if they contain the number 666 either another that will serve the same illeberal plans of the Schengen treaty. The use of the number 666 in the new electronic ID's constitutes the last step before the mark in the hand or the forehead. Therefore receiving them from Christians means denial of Jesus Christ and accession to the front of Satan and spiritual death. But even with the use of another number except of 666(for example 444,858 etc.) we deny taking them because those ID's enter us in a regime illeberal,inhuman,dictatorial,antidemocratic and totalitarian.They confiscate us to a powerful economic rule and control system and guide us political and spiritual captives to a electronic dictatorship. They disaffect the national,cultural structure by introducing principles and ideas forreign to our long tradition corroding our Hellenic-Christian Orthodox substance and undermining our ecclesiastic counsciousness.
