Microchips Interesting Article
 

Wow, that is a very interesting perspective.


Especially since in England, the chips are free and are mandatory by law next year for all dog owners due to the financial burden put upon shelters as a result of lost dogs which cannot be traced back to their owners.


This same conspiracy theory has been linked to cell phones, internet wi-fi, social security etc.


This is one of those articles that make you go, "hmmm".

Yes as I said an interesting read. I don;'t believe that it is all bollocks. Here in Canada we have one lawyer and now many, who warn we humble folks that the CRA Canadian Revenue Agency, has the power to data mine the internet, and look for Canadians who search on line for information on late taxes penalities, deductions etc etc etc. Thus making yourself an easy audit target.
We are being told not to do on line searches, funny huh, and geez I thought I was living in a free and open society.

No, I agree with you. I think there is definitely nefarious doings behind the scenes with our readily available data. We are not willing to give up the internet and other technological conveniences, despite the potential of a privacy breach, so we are sort of allowing it and probably not realizing what this means for us overall.


I try to not get too hung up on it all because, although I do believe it's a problem, I'm unsure what I can do about it. Mostly, for the reason above + the world changes so fast and I don't know how I can influence as a small minority who resists change. It's worrying that most people just don't seem to care, you know?

That's the thing isn't it? It just seems like everything is too big, too complex, moving too fast, for any one person to effectively do anything. Sometimes I think that our technology is like a run away train, building speed, mowing down things, zipping by, and no-one is in the drivers seat.


The human race willingly or not - has allowed our technology to grow at un-precendeted rates, and yet the more *soft* skills like morals and ethics are hardly ever looked at. The saying "just because we can do a thing, doesn't mean we should do a thing". We humans have shown again and again throughout history, we are poor very poor forecasters of what is the future impact of the actions/discoveries of today...


Take the honeybee problem (well at least here in Canada) and I think elsewhere; well it has been found that a *newish* coating on the seeds of soyabeans and corn a type of pesticide is what is killing off hundreds of thousands of our bees. No bees, no pollination = no food! We just never, ever seem to learn! Where were the studies and the appovals for this newish pesticide coating? How did the system fail us? Have not heard the answer to that one yet.


We argue over global warming, and I admit I surely don't understand all the science behind it; but weather patterns are changing, if 5000 scientists come out and tell the world that this is so; who am I to say they are wrong. And it matters little to me how much of it was man-made, it matters what we can *do* about it.
Awh well I digress (again) from microchips.

Not two paragraphs into this article did I question its validity. I started with the claim that the FDA approved the implantation of microchips in 2004. I said hhhmmmmm that's strange since my Daisy has had a microchip since 2000. So I looked it up and that is when the FDA approved the first HUMAN implantable chip.

In case anyone was wondering, my dog is now 14 and her chip still hasn't caused cancer. My bad, though, didn't register the thing until two years ago. And since then, I've felt an ominous set of eyes peering through hers...... Big brother??

LOL. Kathy I know it seems like paranoia - but a human chip?? Did not know we were doing that nowadays.


But the CRA data mining you betcha. Although that was not the article at all.


I am not too sure how folks who want to use my dogs microchips would get any usefull infor. Lets see I go to work, I take dogs to park, to swimming, to physio, to vet, to shows.... I guess for marketing purposes, but then I am a *hard* sell. I regularly ditch any advertising that comes my way via unknown emails etc.

I have microchipped my dogs since I guess 2003 or so, and for the record I have had one chip migrate, but no animals that got cancer from the chip - well I have lost two animals to cancer, but I hardly think that cancer came from the chip.

Yep!! We are doing that.....or it has been proposed and is quietly being moved around from page to page, on God-Only-Knows what Bill is being prepared to be sprung on us next.....

It started out as a chip that has all your medical history stored in it....so when they find you unconscious on the street, they can just get you to an ER, "scan" you and know what your medical history is, what meds you are taking, what could possibly be wrong with you, etc. The chip is called "Digital Angel" and I bought an enormous amount of stock in the company, because it seemed like a great idea, that would certainly take off because it was so health oriented....they were also mentioning maybe putting name and social security number and a copy of your DNA on the chip....there again, instantaneous ID of murder victims, accident victims, etc......

Well, my family quickly pointed out to me I had bought stock in THE MARK OF THE BEAST" business, supporting the ANTI-CHRIST'S agenda......they were absolutely appalled and I think some of them even contacted the Pope for recommendations on an exorcism!!!! The stock never did anything, I lost a little on it, and I dumped the rest to make sure I did not become a Bride of the Anti-Christ! I HOPE the stock never makes it big......I think I will be kicking my butt all over the place, and I do not think that information is in line with the Mark of the Beast idea in the Bible!

I googled VeriChip and Digital Angel to see if it was still even around....
Forgive me...it is a long pragraph because I do not know how to post it otherwise...kept saying it was too long.....

"With each passing year we hear of new developments that the world thinks are great, but the prophecy student shakes his head and wonders,
"Why they don't see what they are doing?"
We have been hearing the national ID card is coming, but now the U.S. Department of Transportation is advancing its plans for a national transportation-worker identity card, which will serve as a forerunner of the "trusted-traveler" card for airline passengers.
*These cards will allow passengers to avoid security screening at checkpoints in airports. This electronic card will use an encoded biometric description of the user to guarantee that the individual using it is the same person on the card.
*This will naturally shorten the lines at airports for frequent fliers who submit to foreign and FBI background checks. (Trusted Passenger ID Cards)
*With each new gadget of convenience there is a thread of control.
*Wal-Mart, Gillette and Procter & Gamble are joining forces to give momentum to the technology of "talking tags". These tags will contain a computer chip, a small amount of data and a very small antenna that will connect it to the network. Anything with a tag will be able to communicate with networks or the Internet, sending information to electronic devices, appliances, or computers.
*Your groceries will automatically check themselves out as you push your cart past a scanner. Your prescription bottle will tell you when it needs to be refilled. This technology is called "Auto-ID" and is located at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The tags are known as Radio Frequency Identification tags, or RFID.
*In the past, the tags have been too expensive to maintain, but a small, private company in California, called Alien Technology, is working on a large-scale method of production that will greatly reduce the cost.
*Each tag will sell for just under 7 cents.
Mass production won't start until they can get the cost down to 5 cents. A test is currently going on in Tulsa where several stores have agreed to use these tags throughout the supply chain. Wal-Mart and Pepsi-Cola appear to be the companies involved, but technically, the companies are being kept secret.
(USA Today - 4/11/2002)
The April, 2002 issue of Whistleblower magazine (a monthly publication of WorldNetDaily.Com) is devoted to the topic of implanted chips.
*A focus of attention has been the release of information about the "VeriChip", manufactured by Applied Digital Solutions of Palm Beach, Florida. Initially, the tracking system was advertized as something to be worn as a wristwatch, for example, but after 9/11 a greater need for security was called for.
*So, the "VeriChip" was born. What exactly is a "VeriChip?"
*Readers of this newsletter have heard of RFID for a long time, but now it has taken another step. It is a radio-frequency device injected with a syringe that is about the size of a tip of a ballpoint pen. It contains an ID number and other personal information.
*Upon injection, it is activated by a scanner and then its signal can be transmitted to a telephone, the Internet, or an FDA-compliant data-storage site.
*Applied Digital Solutions used the medical benefits of the chip as its initial thrust of exposure, but it has acquired more ominous ramifications.
*The prototype of the "VeriChip" is the Digital Angel technology.
*This chip allows the person equipped with one to be tracked in real time with the Global Positioning System. This information is transmitted wirelessly to the Internet and the person's vital signs, movements and location are collected and stored.
*Digital Angel was introduced to the world on Oct. 30, 2000, in New York City. The public and the press were not invited to this event, but the military, the government and private investors were. Secretary of Commerce Norman Mineta was there as was the keynote speaker.
*Does DGS have anyone on their side to help out with the cost of these little critters? To name a few, Schering-Plough (pharmaceuticals), Raytheon-Hughes, and the U.S. Department of Energy?
*The highlight of the evening was an actual demonstration of the chip in action as the group watched a guinea pig run the gauntlet through the streets of New York City. They could even tell if the subject was awake or asleep!


"Before there may have been resistance, but not anymore. People are getting used to implants. New century, new trend. We will be a hybrid of electronic intelligence and our own soul ," said Chief Technology Officer Dr. Keith Bolton.
Bolton's comments mirror today's complacent majority when he relayed irritation at the protests for the "noisy 20 percent", meaning us Christians that can see the obvious link between this chip and the "Mark of the Beast".
*You've heard the saying, "timing is everything". Well, one week after 9/11, Digital Angel made its services available (in the form of the GPS tracking devices) to New York City's fire department and the U.S. Department of Transportation to help with their rescue efforts.
(Whistleblower magazine, Volume 11, No.4, April, 2002)
In the May/June newsletter I reported the Jacobs family wanted to be the first implanted with a microchip. They received their very own VeriChips on the Today Show.
Applied Digital Solutions says it has 4,000 to 5,000 people on their waiting list to get their own VeriChips, and they plan to have a "chipmobile" that will be visiting Florida senior citizen's centers. Take a number and step to the end of the line!

Andy Rooney is ready to hop on the bandwagon! He said on the 60 Minutes, Feb. 10, 2002 broadcast:
"We need some system for permanently identifying safe people . Most of us are never going to blow anything up and there's got to be something better than one of these photo IDs...I wouldn't mind having something planted permanently in my arm that would identify me."
So safe people are implanted, meaning if you are not safe you won't be implanted.
*Who does Applied Digital Solutions think would be good candidates for their chips? Here's a partial list: children and the elderly, law enforcement, prisoners, parolees, all foreigners entering the country, airline workers, nuclear power plant workers, "sensitive industries" employees, diplomats, top corporate executives, soldiers, wilderness hikers, Alzheimer's patients, autistic people, and heart patients. (6)(WorldNetDaily, April 2, 2002, Sherrie Gossett)
*Julie Foster, from WorldNetDaily, interviewed Dr. Peter Zhou, chief scientist for development of the Digital Angel and president of DigitalAngel.net, Inc who made this statement:
"The purpose of the device is to save your life and improve the quality of life. There's no connection to the Bible. There are different interpretations of the Bible. My interpretation is, anything to improve the quality of life is from God. The Bible says, 'I am the God of living people.' We not only live, we live well."
( Whistleblower magazine, April, 2002, pg. 8)
The military is one group that is the most progressive in their thinking when it comes to the chip.
*Here is an excerpt from "Air Force 2025":
"The chip creates a computer-generated mental visualization based upon the user's request. The visualization encompasses the individual and allows the user to place himself into the selected battle-space." (He is speaking about a microscopic brain chip.)
*And, "The chip will give these forces the ability to communicate, visualize, and prosecute military operations."
*And, "Implanting 'things' in people raises ethical and public relations issues. While these concerns may be founded on today's thinking, in 2025 they may not be as alarming. We already are evolving toward technology implanting. For example, the military currently requires its members to receive mandatory injections of biological organisms (i.e., the flu shot). In the civilian world, people receive mechanical hearts and other organs. Society has come to accept most of these implants as a fact of life. The civilian populace will likely accept implanted microscopic chips that allow military members to defend vital national interests. Further, the U.S. military will continue to be a volunteer force that will freely accept the chip because it is a tool to control technology and not as a tool to control the human."
Now you can go to Kroger's to buy your groceries, and you won't need to bring any cash, checks, or credit cards. With the new SecureTouch-n-Pay technology, all you really need is one finger. This is the new biometric electronic financial transaction processing system. This especially appeals to women because they won't need to bring their purses.
Enrollment requires a driver's license, credit card and a fingerprint scan. This technology was developed by Austin-based Biometric Access Corporation. This will also benefit Kroger because it means fewer forged checks.

*TheBEAST integrates with virtually any business system, permitting the fastest time-to-market rollouts and most accurate financial decision-making ever. It provides a unique combination of analytic applications, real-time trading, order routing, transactional capabilities and market intelligence.
*It introduces the first real-time data-agnostic, unified platform for market data capture, commingling and delivery.

Human Microchip Implants
High-tech Help or Big Brother Surveillance Tool?

Wow just Wow. High tech or Big Brother, the answer of course it is both!


And this technology will be used in ways we can't even imagine now.
