New Bolivian National ID’s Include…Star of David

When Stars of David start showing up on some ID cards, especially in Santa Cruz–a region of Bolivia that wants to secede from the government of retrograde goof Evo Morales, it understandably raises a few hackles. Evo’s government is already taking a racialist bent, being devoted to a philosophy of “Indigenismo“. And Bolivia’s had trouble with Nazis in the past.

Now there are some new links to worry about:

But Mr. Klinsky, the opposition lawmaker, didn’t rule out an ethnic connection. He said he fears the “fundamentalist influence” of Iran on Bolivia’s government, a reference to an influx of Iranian officials connected to numerous joint ventures to develop Bolivia’s energy reserves.

Still, these cards with the stars aren’t going exclusively to Jewish citizens, so…what’s the point of them? Probably not one, just a wacky graphic designer not thinking this one all the way out.

Creepy, though.

    Creepy. But the Muslims have such a star also. Little known, but true.

    Who knows what the US National ID will require, and it’s coming to a town near you next month!

    An innocent Star of David? There’s talk here about putting RFID tags onto and into everything. The designation of a person’s ethnicity, race, financial status and standing with IRS could be quickly discerned thus enabling BIG BROTHER to mete out some real consequence. Wake up!!

    I watched Aaron Russo’s documentary titled America: From Freedom to Fascism which touched on these themes and the real-world efforts to legislate them into reality. Thank our fatted friends in House and Senate.

    When everyone gets the same design – no problem. Kind of funny, as far as I’m concerned; there is too much hyper-sensitivity running rampant these days.

    RoP will get their turbans in a wad though – that’s funny too.

    Reading this just made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. History is once again beginning to repeat itself. Welcome to the 1930s with the Muslims and radical leftists stepping in to do the job the Nazis tried to do.

    Quick history lesson: the Nazis made Jews wear yellow Stars of David, before they started shipping Jew off to death camps.

    That’s why this raises hackles.

    Not everyone in Bolivia is getting an Id so marked, but they don’t appear to be targeting Jews. But the police have refused to explain what the deal is.

    Yeah, socialism is really working for Bolivia. Has dear old Evo eradicated poverty? It’s nice to see that Iran isn’t the only country that preaches anti-semitism. :shock:

    Why the need for this new National ID? To please its new best buddy Iran? It’s interesting how no one in the US seems to be concerned about Iran… even though it’s exerting geo-political influence through its knowlege of the gas/oil industry.

    When I was a kid and just learning about the Holocaust in school, one of the first things I asked the teacher was “Why didn’t someone see what was happening and do something to stop it?”

    It seems strange that I should be asking that same question now, some thirty-plus years later.

    Western Hemisphere socialists courting Iranian business and political relationships is going to be a growing problem.

    First the Star of David on your ID. Second a tattoo with long running numbers on your arm? How much foreign aid do we give these rocket scientists? All aid should be frozen in place and their embassy personnel shown the door until this is stopped.
