VeriChip & RFID

[TiredandWeary]

You are so right AngelinaCatHub! I know exactly what you are talking about regarding those electronic checks at Wal-Mart! I've had that happen several times. Finally, I just gave up writing any checks there. Really, what's the point if there's no float time? Although, in my experience, there actually was some float time with those electronic checks. It still took two days to be deducted from my bank account. I constantly checked up on my account to track their patterns of debiting.

Pentagon Studies Human Microchip Implants

http://blog.wired.com/defense/2007/08/washington-a-ne.html

The Defense Department's plans to study implanting microchips in soldiers is already sparking concerns about privacy issues (and is likely to send the stock price of tinfoil to new highs).

"People are going to say, 'What about my personal rights?' ... Even though you shelve some of your rights as a citizen (in the military), you don't shelve them all," said Joe Davis, spokesman for the Veterans of Foreign Wars.

The chip would relay vital statistics about the patient such as lactate, glucose and oxygen levels in the blood. Researchers believe the technology would also be useful in other government programs such as measuring astronaut data, as well as civilian first-responder uses, according to a news release from Clemson University.

Clemson researchers believe the program is five years away from human testing. The program will include testing on a new gel developed by Clemson scientists that aids in preventing the chip from being rejected by the human body.

It's only a $1.6 million study, but there's something about human RFID implants that tends -- quite understandably -- to make people's skin crawl.

Super-soldiers may get brain-chip

US military experts are attempting to create an army of super-human soldiers who will be more intelligent and deadly thanks to a microchip implanted in their brains.

Scientists believe the implant will vastly improve the memory of troops so that they can recall every detail of their training and become more effective fighters.

Researchers at the University of Southern California's bio-engineering department have created the chip, which acts in exactly the same way as the hippocampus - the part of the brain that deals with memory.

In experiments, the team removed that section of the brain of dead rats and inserted the chip in its place. The implant sent exactly the same electronic signals as the real thing.

The next stage of the project is to test the implant on live animals. If this work proves to be as successful, experiments could one day be carried out on soldiers.

Insurer Running VeriChip Trial

Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey is inviting chronically ill policyholders to participate in a two-year trial to test implanted RFID tags.

By Mary Catherine O'Connor

July 17, 2006—Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, is initiating a two-year clinical trial to test the use of an implantable RFID tag, the VeriChip, to access the medical records of chronically ill patients. If a patient participating in the trial is admitted to the emergency room at New Jersey's Hackensack Medical Center, staff there will use a handheld reader (interrogator) to read the tag's 16-digit ID and call up the patient's medical files in a database.

Under FDA policy, it would have been VeriChip's responsibility to bring the adverse studies to the FDA's attention, but VeriChip CEO Scott Silverman claims the company was unaware of the research.

so the FDA basicly does nothing to find out what it does until way after the fact & it is known that these chips give tumors to animals.

US military experts are attempting to create an army of super-human soldiers who will be more intelligent and deadly thanks to a microchip implanted in their brains.

In other words, it will control the minds of human soldiers & that is supposed to do what? after all the soliders on the globe are implanted making them all the more DEADLY, I fail how to see that would be progress.

Someone sure has plans, don't they.

I like Bandits idea - branding. Brand the babies on the ass. Most people will never see it - and those that do, well...

I picture someones forehead or rearend passing back & forth thru a meat slicer. Would you like that thick or thin?

In regards to Walmart's check scanners; it doesn't work on all checks. I make my own checks and I do not use magnetic ink. When I use a check at Walmart, it doesn't read. There policy is if it doesn't read, is to deny the check for payment. But most places will accept the check and process the check manually. Walmart's scanners are magnetic readers. Some scanners are optical and some of the newer ones are optical and magnetic. The places that do accept my checks and process them by hand; there is a float but I suspect that is going to come to a halt eventually.

I was talking to my oldest son today about what I had read on here about the chip.

And he seems to think this is the mark of the beast that the bible talks about.

That's just what *I* was thinking as I read this thread...
