5-11 or May 11th is an associative moniker representing the advent of Real-ID's or the implementation of the Real ID Act of 2005 beginning May 11th, 2008.
The intent was to instantly associate the average citizen with the act of having a Real ID card; sounding akin to another defining disaster that poised the US taxpayer as a fiscal and strategic resource for Globalist agendas - September 11th or 9-11.
WHAT IS THE REAL ID ACT or a REAL ID?
The Real ID Act was passed May 11th, 2005 in HR 1268 -a bundle of legislation to award emergency Tsunami relief to Idonesia and supplemental war spending for troops in Iraq.
HR 1268 was rushed through Congress and the Senate with utmost urgency. The unfunded Congressional mandate was then extended to the States to finance a highly insecure, federal database and nationalized ID that can be used in the place of a passport when traversing Canada and Mexico.
States stand to pay out millions for hacker prone DMV databases linked to
a federal electronic checkpoint network. Real ID's, proven to be easily and cheaply reproduced in a garage, will not provide the purported solution to immigrant documentation or national security. It just adds costs and irrelevant policing of the US identity.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE 5-11ened? [The 5-11 meme]
What it means to be 5-11ened, is for a situation (usually a negative situation) to evolve as a direct result of the Real ID Act.
For instance:
"I was 5-11ened when I refused to show my ID to the TSA and they put my name on a list."
-OR-
"About one-third of Farmer Joe's ranch was just 5-11ened. DHS is sending bulldozers down there to put up part of the border fence."
Accepting a Real ID is the beginning of a systematically compromised life at the "discretionary authority of the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security".
For the time being, you will be asked, on the basis of a secret and invisible law, to provide your Real ID or passport at TSA checkpoints in order to fly from state to state. As The Real ID Act of 2005 is written today, a Real ID can be used for whatever the Secretary of DHS says the "official purpose" is for your ID or license.
