WASHINGTON — Two scholars say in a new research paper that despite earlier denials, the Census Bureau was deeply involved in the roundup and internment of Japanese Americans at the onset of U.S. entry into World War II.
The academics say the Census Bureau’s involvement included identifying concentrations of people of Japanese ancestry in geographic units as small as city blocks, lending a senior Census Bureau official to work with the War Department on the relocation program and a willingness to disclose names and address of Japanese Americans.

Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Previous OPSEC Violations
Not only that, but around the same time, the Census Bureau revealed the names of individual Japanese-Americans who lived near Washington, D.C. — including an infant and a Census Bureau employee!

So much for the way they swear that NO individual data is ever revealed.
Too, with today’s huge databases, once the supposedly “anonymized” data is shared with researchers and marketers, it’s no great trick to match that with the individualized data held by credit bureaus, law-enforcement agencies, etc. and come up with profiles for millions of very specific individuals.
Resist the census!
Heh, we don’t have such a great record on how we treated the Japanese after Pear Harbor. We did the internment thing too in the name of “National Security”. No mention if the census was used or if they just had folks call and report those “slanty eyed” traitors. Both are despicable and in my books kinda put us morally in lock step with Hitler and his idiotology.
