World Check claimed to have 15 of the 19 September 11th Plane Hijackers in their database prior to the attack.
 
With this announcemnt, World Check's own reputation and importance in World affairs was firmly cemented.

Even after OffShore Alert exposed this claim to be a complete scam, World Check continued to expand its reach to where they are now regarded as industry leaders in  a new field called 'Structured Intelligence'.

Coupled with their industry leadership in the promotion of  PEP (Politically Exposed Pesons) Compliance technology and KYC (Know Your Customers) Business Solutions, David Leppan and World Check have pretty much cornered the market of the merchandising of Personal Information.

I was suddenly reminded of the Steven Spielberg movie "Minority Report" that depicted a world (in the not too-distant future) where a police agency monitored society and acted preemptively anytime a crime was about to take place.

A world where your intent to commit a crime was proof of guilt.

In the movie, 3 seers or visionaries were imbued with this all knowing power of 'foresight' and they telepathically sent a warning signal to the social database which alerted the police as to where and when to act whenever a crime was about to occur.

In our world it seems, World Check is playing that role.

They gather the information. They categorize the data. They sell it to interested parties.

Think about it.

If you encounter some civic problem or have an issue with your local branch of government and decide to voice your dissent or frustration, the possibility exists that your name will be placed in a shared database that can aversely effect your possible job opportunities, resident status, loan requests, travel destinations and worse...

The anonimity of the individual is slowly being erased, or should I say, deleted.

I used to believe that all the talk of 'globalization', 'national id cards', 'one-world government', 'new world order' was just a collective hightened sense of paranoia caused by the 9/11 tragedy.

I'm not so sure anymore.
