Draft Registration Becomes Automatic in December

[snot]

Automatic registration for the military draft enacted without any hearings, debate, or public awareness.

Documents released in response to... FOIA requests show that the legislative proposal for “automatic” draft registration was drafted during the Biden Administration.... {B}oth support and opposition to Selective Service has been and remains bipartisan.

The {Selective Service System (SSS)} is a tiny agency being given unprecedented authority to demand access to data from all other Federal agencies. The attempt to register potential draftees “automatically” will be a large, complex exercise in data collection, data sharing, and data matching between the SSS and other agencies.

The Privacy Act of 1974 requires each Federal agency to publish a notice in the Federal Register (with an opportunity for public comment) including specific information about each of system of records about U.S. citizens or residents. ... “Automatic” registration will require new sources of registration data from other agencies and therefore a revised Privacy Act notice.

Even before {going through the required rule-making process}, the SSS gave DOGE access to the registration database in early 2025, and in late 2025 proposed sharing its registration data with more other agencies for immigration enforcement and other purposes.

It's going to be a lot harder to escape being drafted to fight corrupt wars than it was during the Viet Nam era. (But if you've done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear from surveilance, right??)

1. By December everything will be different.

2. You mean Dems in Congress

will stop supporting wars that help oligarchs at the expense of the rest of us?

Again, the proposal for automatic draft registration was drafted during the Biden Admin. and has been supported by at least some Dem congress members.

I hope it's not impossible to stop this, but if you're counting on the midterms alone to do so, we're probably going to have to elect a lot more very progressive Dems.

3. I have no idea. Hopefully by then it won't be as needed as they think it is now.

4. Is it about troops or data mining?

Are these 18-year-old men planning on voting, I wonder?

5. My guess would be both.

Knowlege is power, once consolidated from all the various agencies we've given our data to, not to mention that fact that some agencies such as police, FBI, et al. routinely obtain our data from social media platforms, there will be almost nothing they don't know about us. And TPTB are almost never forego opportunities to accumulate more power over the rest of us.

Remember, too, that debanking has also already been used in a number of situations. How long could you run your business, your household, your car without using credit cards and without access to your deposits or investments, but just using the physical cash in your mattress, or BTC held in a hard wallet?

6. Time to leave the movie as this where I came in.
