Will the Mandatory Microchip
in ObamaCare End Up Being the Mark of the Beast?
There’s a pretty starling thing in the bill that 95% of Americans won’t like.
ObamaCare has a microchip implant for you… The Obama Health care bill
includes (under Class II, Paragraph 1, Section B) “(ii) a class II device that
is implantable”. Then on page 1004 it describes what the term “data” means in
paragraph 1, section B:
14 (B) In this paragraph, the term ‘data’ refers
to
15 information respecting a device described in paragraph (1),
16
including claims data, patient survey data, standardized
17 analytic files
that allow for the pooling and analysis of
18 data from disparate data
environments, electronic health
19 records, and any other data deemed
appropriate by the
20 Secretary
As approved by the FDA, a class II implantable device is an “implantable
radio frequency transponder system for patient identification and health
information.”
This sort of device would be implanted in the majority of people who opt to
become covered by the public health care option. With the reform of the private
insurance companies, many people will switch their coverage to a more affordable
insurance plan. This means the number of people who choose the public option
will increase. This also means the number of people chipped will be plentiful as
well. The adults who choose to have a chip implanted are the lucky (yes, lucky)
ones in this case. Children who are “born in the United States who at the time
of birth is not otherwise covered under acceptable coverage” will be qualified
and placed into the CHIP or Children’s Health Insurance Program (what a
convenient name). With a name like CHIP it would seem consistent to have the
chip implanted into a child. Children conceived by parents who are already
covered under the public option will more than likely be implanted with a chip
by the consent of the parent. Eventually everyone will be implanted with a chip.
The
Bible says those who take the 666 Microchip will receive the Wrath of
God…
http://www.tldm.org/bible/bible.htm
And that no man might buy or
sell, but he that hath the character…
And
it was given him to give life to the image of the beast: and that the image of
the beast should speak: and should cause that whosoever will not adore the image
of the beast should be slain. And he shall make all, both little and great,
rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand or
on their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath
the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is
wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast. For
it is the number of a man: and the number of him is six hundred sixty-six.
(Apocalypse Chapter 13: 15-18 DRV)
He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath
of God…
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud
voice: If any man shall adore the beast and his image and receive his character
in his forehead or in his hand, He also shall drink of the wine of the wrath of
God, which is mingled with pure wine in the cup of his wrath: and shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the sight of the holy angels and in the
sight of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torments, shall ascend up for ever
and ever: neither have they rest day nor night, who have adored the beast and
his image and whoever receiveth the character of his name. Here is the patience
of the saints, who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
(Apocalypse Chapter 14:9-12 DRV)
And there fell a sore and grievous wound upon
men who had the character of the beast…
And the first went and
poured out his vial upon the earth. And there fell a sore and grievous wound
upon men who had the character of the beast: and upon them that adored the image
thereof. (Apocalypse Chapter Chapter 16:2 DRV)
Cast alive into the pool of fire burning with
brimstone..
And the beast was taken, and with him the false
prophet who wrought signs before him, wherewith he seduced them who received the
character of the beast and who adored his image. These two were cast alive into
the pool of fire burning with brimstone. (Apocalypse Chapter 19:20
DRV)
But they shall be priests of God and of Christ: and shall
reign with him a thousand years…
And I saw seats. And they sat
upon them: and judgment was given unto them. And the souls of them that were
beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God and who had not
adored the beast nor his image nor received his character on their foreheads or
in their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. The
rest of the dead lived not, till the thousand years were finished. This is the
first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection. In these the second death hath no power. But they shall be priests
of God and of Christ: and shall reign with him a thousand years. (Apocalypse
Chapter 20: 4-6 DRV)
India Launches Project to ID 1.2 Billion
People…
Wall Street Journal reported on September 29,
2010:
India’s vaunted tech savvy is being put to the test this week as the country
embarks on a daunting mission: assigning a unique 12-digit number to each of its
1.2 billion people.
The project, which seeks to collect fingerprint and iris scans from all
residents and store them in a massive central database of unique IDs, is
considered by many specialists the most technologically and logistically complex
national identification effort ever attempted. To pull it off, India has
recruited tech gurus of Indian origin from around the world, including the
co-founder of online photo service Snapfish and employees from Google Inc.,
Yahoo Inc. and Intel Corp.
The country’s leaders are pinning their hopes on the program to solve
development problems that have persisted despite fast economic growth. They say
unique ID numbers will help ensure that government welfare spending reaches the
right people, and will allow hundreds of millions of poor Indians to access
services like banking for the first time.
Critics question whether the project can have as big an impact as its backers
promise, given that identity fraud is but one contributor to India’s development
struggles. Civil-liberties groups say the government is collecting too much
personal information without sufficient safeguards. The technology requires
transferring large amounts of data between the hinterland and an urban database,
leading some to question whether the system will succumb to India’s rickety
Internet infrastructure.
The sign-up effort is already under way in a handful of districts, and Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh is expected to kick off nationwide enrollment Wednesday.
The government hopes to issue the first 100 million unique ID numbers by March
and 600 million within four years. The undertaking is the latest chance for
India to show it can pull off a massive project after what is widely viewed as
its mishandling of next week’s Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, where
infrastructure and hygiene issues led some nations to threaten withdrawing.
The Next Generation May Embrace (the Mark of the Beast) Being
‘Chipped…
PCWorld reported on June 12, 2010:
You may reject the idea of a microchip implant, but
your grandchildren could embrace them, according to an Australian professor.
Katrina Michael, associate professor of the University of Wollongong’s school
of information systems and technology, and author of scientific paper Towards a
State of Uberveillance, said subdermal chip
implants in humans could be commonplace within two to three
generations.
But at present, she regards the device as a threat to life and liberty
because technologists and politicians largely do not know if silicon chips could
harm the human body and have not determined the terms in which the devices can
be used.
“You will have a new breed of tech-savvy individuals that are more adaptable
to technologies. But you could forget about getting Australians to have chip
implants now,” Michael said.
“For instance [microchips] are problematic for motoring patients with
psychological conditions. You may need to balance the patient’s well being,
public safety and their ability to consent to the implant.”
Michael said human microchips could rid chronic illness sufferers from the
need to visit hospital by sending simple data on their health to a doctor.
However, she said chip implants presently cause damage to the human body
because they fuse with tissue and cause damage when removed.
“At this moment, there will be no contingency plan; it will be a life
sentence to upgrades, virus protection mechanisms, and inescapable intrusion,”
authors, Katina and M.G Michael wrote in their paper.
She noted that some 900 US hospitals have registered for a microchip-based
patient identification system to more quickly identify patients admitted to
emergency.
“There hasn’t been 50 cases of people using microchips in Australia, which is
a fundamental problem for politicians because they do not want to touch the
issue if it isn’t detailed in black and white,” Michael said.
She described seeing “a lot of blank faces” when she spoke to politicians of
the privacy implications of wearable and implantable Radio Frequency
Identification Devices (RFID) chips, but noted “new breed politicians” such as
Labor Senator Kate Lundy understood the technology and its dilemmas.
“It is a fallacy to speak of a balance between [freedom, security and
justice] in the microchip scenario, so long as someone else has the potential to
control the implant device,” the authors wrote in their paper.
The microchip devices could see a new social segregation in the form of
“electronic apartheid,” computer virus infections that interfere with
pacemakers, and a wealth of unknown health problems, the authors contend.
The advent of subdermal microchips is part of what the authors call
‘uberveillance,’ which connotes the ability to automatically locate and identify
individuals, and can be used to as a predictive mechanism for behavior and
traits.
Google Latitude typifies the term at present, Michael said, along with
subdermal microchips and social networking tools.
She is currently testing the appeal of location-tracking through a pilot in
which university students signed-up to the mobile location tool, Google
Latitude, and recorded the amount of times they checked on the whereabouts of
other participants.
Michael said students and respondents to earlier trials were surprised by how
often they used the tool. Yet for all the data collected by ‘uberveillance’
technologies, Michael warns the actions or whereabouts of individuals cannot be
guaranteed.
“There will be problems. We will have too much data and not enough
knowledge,” she said.
National ID Card, RFID Chip, and
Mark of the Beast Coming Soon says Congressman Ron
Paul…
Congressman Ron Paul discusses the
White House and Odamas Plans for a National ID Card. What it will mean for the
Freedom and free movement of all Americans, welcome to the USSR my Friends. It
is time to WAKE UP and start praying.
Where’s Jimmy? Just Google His
Bar Code, the Number of the Mark of the Beast RFID
Chip…
Scientists tag animals to monitor their behavior and keep track of
endangered species. Now some futurists are asking whether all of mankind should
be tagged too. Looking for a loved one? Just Google his microchip.
The chips, called radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, emit
a simple radio signal akin to a bar code, anywhere, anytime. Futurists say they
can be easily implanted under the skin on a person’s arm.
Already, the government of Mexico has surgically implanted the
chips, the size of a grain of rice, in the upper arms of staff at the attorney
general’s office in Mexico City. The chips contain codes that, when read by
scanners, allow access to a secure building, and prevent trespassing by drug
lords.
In research published in theInternational Journal of Innovation and Sustainable
Development, Taiwanese researchers
postulate that the tags could help save lives in the aftermath of a major
earthquake. “Office workers would have their identity badges embedded in their
RFID tags, while visitors would be given temporary RFID tags when they enter the
lobby,” they suggest. Similarly, identity tags for hospital staff and patients
could embed RFID technology.
“Our world is becoming instrumented,” IBM’s chairman and CEO,
Samuel J. Palmisano said at an industry conference last week. “Today, there are
nearly a billion transistors per human, each one costing one ten-millionth of a
cent. There are 30 billion radio RFID tags produced globally.”
“We are concerned about the implantation of identity chips,” said
Jay Stanley, senior policy analyst for the speech, privacy and technology
program at the American Civil Liberties Union. He puts the problem plainly:
“Many people find the idea creepy.”
“RFID tags make the perfect tracking device,” Stanley said. “The
prospect of RFID chips carried by all in identity papers means that any
individual’s presence at a given location can be detected or recorded simply
through the installation of an invisible RFID reader.”
Grassroots groups are fretting loudly over civil liberties implications of the
devices, threatening to thwart their development for mass-market, human
tracking applications.
Virginia Delegates Pass
a Bill Banning the Chip Implants as the ‘Mark of the
Beast’…
Concerns over privacy have aligned with apocalyptic Biblical
prophecy in a proposed Virginia law that limits the use of microchip implants on
humans because of a lawmaker’s concern that the chips will prove to be the
Antichrist’s “mark of the beast.”
On Wednesday, Virginia’s House of
Delegates passed a bill that forbids companies from forcing their employees to
be implanted with tracking devices, a move likely to be applauded by civil
libertarians.
But Virginia state Delegate Mark Cole’s reasons for
proposing the law have as much to do with the Book of Revelation as they do with
concerns over privacy in the digital age.
Cole says he is concerned that
the implants will turn out to be the “mark of the beast” worn by Satan’s
minions.
“My understanding — I’m not a theologian — but there’s a
prophecy in the Bible that says you’ll have to receive a mark, or you can
neither buy nor sell things in end times,” Cole said, as quoted at the
Washington Post. “Some people think these computer chips might be that
mark.”
VeriChip Buys Steel Vault, Creating Micro-Implant Health
Record/Credit Score Empire with the Mark of the Beast…
VeriChip (CHIP), the company that markets a microchip implant that
links to your online health records, has acquired Steel Vault (SVUL), a credit
monitoring and anti-identity theft company. The combined company will operate
under a new name: PositiveID.
The all-stock transaction will leave PositiveID in charge of a
burgeoning empire of identity, health and microchip implant businesses that will
only encourage its critics. BNET previously noted that some regard the company
as part of a prophecy in the Book of Revelation (because the HealthLink chip
carries an RFID number that can be used as both money and proof of ID) or as
part of President Obama’s secret Nazi plan to enslave America.
The most
obvious criticism to be made of the deal is that it potentially allows
PositiveID to link or cross-check patient health records (from the HealthLink
chip) to people’s credit scores. One assumes that the company will put up
firewalls to prevent that. PositiveID CEO Scott Silverman
said:
“PositiveID will be the first company of its kind to combine a
successful identity security business with one of the world’s first personal
health records through our Health Link business. PositiveID will address some of
the most important issues affecting our society today with our identification
tools and technologies for consumers and businesses.”
Unless, of course,
consumers don’t actually want to be implanted with chips, have their health
records available over the internet, or have their medical records linked to
their credit scores.
Selling the Idea of the Mark of the Beast
Moving into High Gear…
This TV campaign commercial emphasizes all the loving
reasons a person should have an RFID chip implanted in their skin.
This video offers the following advantages for anyone who has
agreed to allow an RFID chip to be implanted.
1) Doctors in an emergency room can quickly identify the victim
and see his/her medical history, this enabling them to more quickly take
life-saving action
2) For Elderly people who cannot remember to take their
medications
3) A grandfather declares that he took an RFID chip because he is
“in love with his children’s children”! Tugging at the heart strings.
4) Because a young man wants to take better care of his elderly
Mom
5) A man with Diabetes touts the efficiency of RFID chip in
helping him take his medicine as he is supposed to take it.
6) Finally, the Emergency Room doctor comes on the screen to tell
us all that he appreciates it very much when the people whose bodies land on the
E.R. gurney have had an RFID chip implanted.
The Mark of the Beast (VeriChip) Can Detect Swine
Flu…
(Reuters) – Shares of VeriChip Corp tripled
after the company said it had been granted an exclusive license to two patents,
which will help it to develop implantable virus detection systems in
humans.
The patents, held by VeriChip partner Receptors LLC, relate to biosensors
that can detect the H1N1 and other viruses, and biological threats such as
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, VeriChip said in a
statement.
The technology will combine with VeriChip’s implantable radio frequency
identification devices to develop virus triage detection systems.
The triage system will provide multiple levels of identification — the first
will identify the agent as virus or non-virus, the second level will classify
the virus and alert the user to the presence of pandemic threat viruses and the
third level will identify the precise pathogen, VeriChip said in a white paper
published May 7, 2009.
Shares of VeriChip were up 186 percent at $3.28 Monday late afternoon trade
on Nasdaq. They had touched a year high of $3.43 earlier in the session.
MSN Money Says With the Mark of the Beast It Will
be Easy to Pay with a Wave of Your Hand…
NEWS BRIEF: “Pay with a wave of your hand?”, MSN Money,
9/11/2009
It’s a simple concept, really: You inject a miniature radio
frequency identifier the size of a grain of rice between your thumb and
forefinger and, with a wave of your hand, unlock doors, turn on lights, start
your car or pay for your drinks at an ultrachic nightspot.
The problem is, the whole concept is a little geeky for most of
us, nauseating for some, Orwellian for a few and even apocalyptic for a
smattering of religious fundamentalists.
Forget the science of it — and yes, it does work remarkably well.
Forget the convenience of it. Forget that similar identifying technologies, from
bar codes to mag stripes, overcame similar obstacles and are now ubiquitous.
Radio frequency ID implants face a hurdle the others did not:
ickiness.
“There is sort of an icky quality to implanting something,” says
Rome Jette, the vice president for smart cards at Versatile Card Technology, a
Downers Grove, Ill., card manufacturer that ships 1.5 billion cards worldwide a
year.
How RFID devices work
The RFID technology is un-yucky,
however. The implanted tag — a passive RFID device consisting of a miniature
antenna and chip containing a 16-digit identification number — is scanned by an
RFID reader. Once verified, the number is used to unlock a database file, be it
a medical record or payment information. Depending upon the application, a
reader may verify tags at a distance of 4 inches up to about 30 feet.
Ex-IBM Employee Reveals TV Abandoned Analog Band
to Make Room for the Mark of the
Beast…
Is Micro-chipping the World Behind Switch to DTV?
According to a former 31-year IBM employee, the highly-publicized, mandatory
switch from analog to digital television is mainly being done to free up analog
frequencies and make room for scanners used to read implantable RFID microchips
and track people and products throughout the world.
So while the American people, especially those in Texas and other busy border
states, have been inundated lately with news reports advising them to hurry and
get their expensive passports, “enhanced driver’s licenses,” passport cards and
other “chipped” or otherwise trackable identification devices that they are
being forced to own, this digital television/RFID connection has been hidden,
according to Patrick Redmond.
Redmond, a Canadian, held a variety of jobs at IBM before retiring, including
working in the company’s Toronto lab from 1992 to 2007, then in sales support.
He has given talks, written a book and produced a DVD on the aggressive, growing
use of passive, semi-passive and active RFID chips (Radio Frequency
Identification Devices) implanted in new clothing, in items such as Gillette
Fusion blades, and in countless other products that become one’s personal
belongings. These RFID chips, many of which are as small, or smaller, than the
tip of a sharp pencil, also are embedded in all new U.S. passports, some medical
cards, a growing number of credit and debit cards and so on. More than two
billion of them were sold in 2007.

VeriChip Microchip Implants Cause Fast-Growing,
Malignant Tumors in Lab Animals…
And the first went and poured
out his vial upon the earth. And there fell a sore and grievous wound upon
men who had the character of the beast: and upon them that adored the image
thereof. (Apocalypse Chapter Chapter 16:2)
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 9,
2007
Damning research findings could spell the end of
VeriChip…
The Associated Press will issue
a breaking story this weekend revealing that microchip implants have induced
cancer in laboratory animals and dogs, says privacy expert and long-time
VeriChip opponent Dr. Katherine Albrecht.
As the AP will report, a
series of research articles spanning more than a decade found that mice and rats
injected with glass-encapsulated RFID transponders developed malignant,
fast-growing, lethal cancers in up to 1% to 10% of cases. The tumors originated
in the tissue surrounding the microchips and often grew to completely surround
the devices, the researchers said.
Albrecht first became aware of the
microchip-cancer link when she and her “Spychips” co-author, Liz McIntyre, were
contacted by a pet owner whose dog had died from a chip-induced tumor. Albrecht
then found medical studies showing a causal link between microchip implants and
cancer in other animals. Before she brought the research to the AP’s attention,
the studies had somehow escaped public notice.
A four-month AP
investigation turned up additional documents, several of which had been
published before VeriChip’s parent company, Applied Digital Solutions, sought
FDA approval to market the implant for humans. The VeriChip received FDA
approval in 2004 under the watch of then Health and Human Services Secretary
Tommy Thompson who later joined the
company’s board.
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.
Albrecht expressed skepticism that
a company like VeriChip, whose primary business is microchip implants, would be
unaware of relevant studies in the published literature.
“For Mr.
Silverman not to know about this research would be negligent. If he did know
about these studies, he certainly had an incentive to keep them quiet,” said
Albrecht. “Had the FDA known about the cancer link, they might never have
approved his company’s product.”
Since gaining FDA approval, VeriChip has
aggressively targeted diabetic and dementia patients, and recently announced
that it had chipped 90 Alzheimer’s patients and their caregivers in Florida.
Employees in the Mexican Attorney General’s Office, workers in a U.S. security
firm, and club-goers in Europe have also been implanted.
Albrecht
expressed concern for those who have received a chip implant, urging them to get
the devices removed as soon as possible.
“These new revelations change
everything,” she said. “Why would anyone take the risk of having a cancer chip
in their arm?”
RFID ‘Powder’
- The World’s Smallest RFID Tag…
“And he shall make all, both
little and great, rich and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in
their right hand or on their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, but
he that hath the character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his
name.” (Apocalypse Chapter 13:
16-17)
The world’s smallest and thinnest RFID
tags were introduced yesterday by Hitachi. Tiny miracles of miniaturization,
these RFID chips (Radio Frequency IDentification chips) measure just 0.05 x 0.05
millimeters.
The previous record-holder, the Hitachi mu-chip, is just
0.4 x 0.4 millimeters. Take a look at the size of the mu-chip RFID tag on a
human fingertip. Now, compare that with the new RFID tags. The “powder type”
tags are some sixty times smaller.
The new RFID chips have a 128-bit ROM
for storing a unique 38 digit number, like their predecessor. Hitachi used
semiconductor miniaturization technology and electron beams to write data on the
chip substrates to achieve the new, smaller size.
Hitachi’s mu-chips are
already in production; they were used to prevent ticket forgery at last year’s
Aichi international technology exposition. RFID ‘powder,’ on the other hand, is
so much smaller that it can easily be incorporated into thin paper, like that
used in paper currency and gift certificates. Science fiction fans will have a
field day with this new technology. In his 1998 novel Distraction, Bruce
Sterling referred to bugged money:
“They always played poker with
European cash. There was American cash around, flimsy plastic stuff, but most
people wouldn’t take American cash anymore. It was hard to take American cash
seriously when it was no longer convertible outside U.S. borders. Besides, all
the bigger bills were bugged. (Read more about bugged money)”
These tiny
RFID tags could be worked into any product; combined with RFID readers built
into doorways, theft of consumer goods would be practically impossible. These
devices could also be used to identify and track people. For example, suppose
you participated in some sort of protest or other organized activity. If police
agencies sprinkled these tags around, every individual could be tracked and
later identified at leisure, with powerful enough tag scanners.
To put
it in the context of popular culture, see the picture below, which was taken
from the 1996 movie Mission Impossible. One of the IMF operatives places a
tracking tag on the shoulder of a computer programmer. Pretty clunky-looking
tag…
Take a look at these earlier stories related to RFID, and
consider how much easier it will be with tinier chips: RFID Sensor Tag Shower
For Disasters (gentle rain of RFID), RFID-Maki: Easy Payment Sushi (just tag the
sushi directly, then scan customer’s stomach) and VeriChip Chairman Proposes
RFID Chips For Immigrants (just dust the border).
Animal tags for
people?
Business Week
reported on January 11, 2007:
Under the federally supported National Animal Identification System
(NAIS), digital tags are expected to be affixed to the U.S.’s 40 million farm
animals to enable regulators to track and respond quickly to disease,
bioterrorism, and other calamities. Opponents have many fears about this plan,
among them that it could be the forerunner of a similar system for humans. The
theory, circulated in blogs, goes like this: You test it on the animals first,
demonstrating the viability of the radio frequency identification devices
(RFIDs) to monitor each and every animal’s movements and health history from
birth to death, and then move on to people.
Well, all you conspiracy
buffs, let me introduce you to Kevin McGrath and Scott Silverman. McGrath heads
a small, growing company that makes RFID chips for animals…and people.
Silverman heads a second company that sells the rice-size people chips, which
are the only ones with Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval, for
implantation in an individual’s right biceps. They carry an identity marker that
would be linked to medical records. His goal is to create “the first RFID
company for people.”
Human-Chip Company Plans IPO
While the NAIS remains voluntary on a federal level,
and there is no formal people identification system as yet, both executives are
moving aggressively to position their companies for the day when chips in
animals and people are the norm rather than the exception. Mary Zanoni, a lawyer
and critic of NAIS who has written extensively about the system, says that “the
microchipping of livestock and pet animals is intended to make tagging more
acceptable in helping these companies market their devices for people.”
McGrath’s company,
Digital Angel (DOC),
does nearly $60 million in annual sales and has sold several million chips for
attachment to livestock, mostly in the U.S. and Canada.
Silverman’s
company, VeriChip Corp., is preparing for widespread marketing of its people
chips with an initial public offering that it expects to complete within the
next 60 days. It has begun building what he refers to as “the infrastructure” by
signing up more than 400 hospitals to adopt system scanners and databases and
about 1,200 physicians to make chips available to patients likeliest to benefit
from them, such as diabetics.
While McGrath and Silverman aren’t
related, their companies are. Digital Angel and VeriChip have the same majority
owner. Applied Digital Solutions (ADSX),
the parent of seven smaller companies, owns 55% of Digital Angel and all of
VeriChip.
Larger Farms Join the RFID Program
Digital
Angel has a big head start in marketing, thanks in part to the Agriculture
Dept.-sponsored NAIS program, which, while it is billed as voluntary, is
expected by various opponents of NAIS, including Zanoni as well as blogs such as
nonais.org, to be imposed on farmers by growing numbers of states. Michigan
begins requiring RFID tags for cattle on Mar. 1 in the first such effort (see
BusinessWeek.com, 12/19/06, “Farmers
Say No to Animal Tags”).
Farmers running midsize and
large operations are signing up for NAIS in growing numbers. The USDA says
343,186 farms have registered, which translates into millions of animals, driven
by what McGrath says are significant economic incentives.
One is
inventory control. He points to a pig farm as an example. The farmer can use
RFID tags “to monitor the amount fed to the sows, the medications they receive,
when they get pregnant, the length of pregnancies, the number born to each sow,
and the number of days to weaning.”
As another example, he cites a farm
with about 5,000 pigs that had an outbreak of disease, where some of the pigs
got fever and several died.
By being able to spot health problems
earlier via scanning of RFID chips compared to “managing by clipboard,” says
McGrath, the cost of the disease in lost animals and treatment was about
$75,000, vs. an expected $250,000 without chips.
McGrath acknowledges
that Digital Angel’s chips are more appropriate for factory farms than for
smaller farms focused on selling locally. “If you’re a farmer who sells to a
neighbor, who cares” about RFID chips? “But if you are a farmer who sells to
Japan, the Japanese say they want you to categorically state [the animal] is
this age and has not had these diseases. If you cannot show this, the Japanese
won’t buy it.” For those farmers who can pass the test, $25-per-head premiums
await, he says.
People Tags Are More Profitable
McGrath,
for now, is content to focus Digital Angel on the factory farm market, having
seen sales of the animal chip rise from 200,000 in 2003 to about 3 million last
year. “We believe we will continue to grow at that rate,” he says. In addition,
Digital Angel continues selling tags to track lost pets and to monitor fish like
salmon for environmental purposes.
Silverman is taking a
similar tack with VeriChip by expanding existing markets—the two primary ones
are tags for the bracelets and anklets worn by newborn babies and their parents
to prevent kidnappings, and those for elderly nursing home patients with
Alzheimer’s disease to recover “wanderers.” Its 2005 revenues were $24 million.
But the big attraction for both companies, and the reason for the
upcoming VeriChip public offering, is the lure of implanting the chips into
people. McGrath points out that while the RFID chips attached to animals sell
for about $1.50 each, and will likely decline to under $1 within a few years
because of competitive pressures, the chips for people sell for $25, based on
special design to allow implanting. “To the extent they [VeriChip] would need 1
million [chips], it would be huge for us,” McGrath says.
For now,
VeriChip has only “a couple hundred patients” who have had the RFID chips
surgically implanted in their arms. The company is focusing its attention on
building databases of patient medical information to attract hospitals to adopt
the company’s chips. The chips are being targeted at an estimated 45 million
“high-risk patients”—diabetics and heart patients, for example, who could be
brought into hospitals unconscious or semiconscious and thus not be able to
identify themselves.
Business May Compel Chip Wearing
Of
course, no discussion of these cousin companies would be complete without
addressing the privacy concerns many people have about being tagged. Both
McGrath and Silverman say their companies protect privacy by limiting data
stored on the chips for both farm animals and people to identification numbers
only, which are extracted via special scanners and then matched to records in
databases.
McGrath also says he appreciates the concerns
many small farmers have about the potential infringement on their privacy that
NAIS represents. “You’re dealing with people who are intensely independent,” he
says. “They don’t like people looking over their shoulders.”
Silverman
says: “We are leaders in the RFID industry in facing privacy issues head on.”
The chip for people “should always be a voluntary product, with opt-in and
opt-out capability.”
As comforting as such statements appear, it’s
important to remember that adoption of the RFID chips doesn’t necessarily need
to be legislated to become nearly universal. If enough hospitals and insurance
companies begin requiring them, or treating patients wearing them more
expeditiously than nonusers, or providing discounts for usage of the chips, they
well could become the norm. Then, not wearing a chip might be akin to not having
a bank ATM card or, increasingly in Eastern states with toll roads and
turnpikes, not having a transponder to pay tolls in your car (see
BusinessWeek.com, 10/9/06, “Radio-Shipment
Tracking: A Revolution Delayed”).
Animal Farms Put Us on
Notice
It’s also important to keep in mind that
the real prize for VeriChip is in assembling the databases of patient health
information. The more patients in the database, the more leverage it has in the
health-care marketplace. In that sense, it’s in competition with retailers like
Walgreens (WAG)
that are collecting data via their walk-in clinics (see BusinessWeek.com,
7/17/06, “Drugstore
Clinics Are Bursting with Health”).
The most important
opinion may be rendered by the financial marketplace, and so far, investors
haven’t fallen over themselves for either company. Digital Angel’s stock over
the past two years has declined from about $7.50 a share to the current $2.60.
VeriChip’s IPO has been put off several times by “market conditions,” says
Silverman, since it first filed in December of last year. Since then, it has
filed five amended offering statements, the most recent on Jan. 9.
It
may be a while before we all begin wearing medical information chips in our
arms, but the farm animals are telling us it’s closer than we may have imagined.
Plans are
Underway to Microchip every Newborn in U.S. and Europe…
Regarding plans to microchip newborns, Dr. Kilde said the U.S. has been
moving in this direction “in secrecy.”
She added that in Sweden, Prime Minister Olof Palme gave permission in 1973
to implant prisoners, and Data Inspection’s ex-Director General Jan Freese
revealed that nursing-home patients were implanted in the mid-1980s. The
technology is revealed in the 1972:47 Swedish state report, Statens Officiella
Utradninger
Are you prepared to live in a world in
which every newborn baby is micro-chipped? And finally are you ready to have
your every move tracked, recorded and placed in Big Brother’s data bank?
According to the Finnish article, distributed to doctors and medical students,
time is running out for changing the direction of military medicine and mind
control technology, ensuring the future of human freedom.
“Implanted human beings can be followed anywhere. Their brain functions can
be remotely monitored by supercomputers and even altered through the changing of
frequencies,” wrote Dr. Kilde. “Guinea pigs in secret experiments have included
prisoners, soldiers, mental patients,handicapped children, deaf and blind
people, homosexuals, single women, the elderly, school children, and any group
of people considered “marginal” by the elite experimenters. The published
experiences of prisoners in Utah State Prison, for example, are shocking to the
conscience.
“Today’s microchips operate by means of low-frequency radio waves that target
them. With the help of satellites, the implanted person can be tracked anywhere
on the globe. Such a technique was among a number tested in the Iraq war,
according to Dr. Carl Sanders, who invented the intelligence-manned interface
(IMI) biotic, which is injected into people. (Earlier during the Vietnam War,
soldiers were injected with the Rambo chip, designed to increase adrenaline flow
into the bloodstream.) The 20-billion-bit/second supercomputers at the U.S.
National Security Agency (NSA) could now “see and hear” what soldiers experience
in the battlefield with a remote monitoring system (RMS).
“When a 5-micromillimeter microchip (the diameter of a strand of hair is
50 micromillimeters) is placed into optical nerve of the eye, it draws
neuro-impulses from the brain that embody the experiences, smells, sights, and
voice of the implanted person. Once transferred and stored in a computer, these
neuro-impulses can be projected back to the person’s brain via the microchip to
be re-experienced. Using a RMS, a land-based computer operator can send
electromagnetic messages (encoded as signals) to the nervous system, affecting
the target’s performance. With RMS, healthy persons can be induced to see
hallucinations and to hear voices in their heads.
“Every thought, reaction, hearing, and visual observation causes a certain
neurological potential, spikes, and patterns in the brain and its
electromagnetic fields, which can now be decoded into thoughts, pictures, and
voices. Electromagnetic stimulation can therefore change a person’s brainwaves
and affect muscular activity, causing painful muscular cramps experienced as
torture.”
The
Mark of the Beast – Means Total Surveillance of Livestock, too…
The National Animal Identification System (NAIS) is set up to put RFID
tags in all livestock. This means total surveillance of all livestock. It is
mandatory by January 2008. This means if you have one chicken, one horse, one
cow, one sheep, one goat, one bison, one sheep, one goat, one llama, one alpaca,
one turkey, or one duck, etc – you must register, the premises and the
animals. Who do you think will be next? You and me.

GPS
Device Finds Bank Robbery Suspect …
Cincinnati, OH — Police say modern technology foiled an
old-fashioned bank robbery. A teller placed an electronic Global Positioning
System device in a bag of stolen money, allowing police to track down a suspect
in just 42 minutes Thursday.
“Around here (GPS) is still relatively
rare,” Hamilton County sheriff’s office spokesman Steve Barnett said. “But with
the advancement in technology and the continued success of catching bank
robbers, soon I would hope that other financial institutions would jump on
board.” Authorities said that after William Ingram, 46, left a U.S. Bank in
suburban Colerain Township, the GPS device tracked him to a car dealership in
Hartwell, where he was returning a Honda that he had borrowed for a test drive
but actually used as a getaway car. When Ingram was confronted, money began
spilling from his pockets, officials said.
EDITOR’S Comment:
There will be no place to hide for anyone who takes the Mark of the Beast.
Three
R’s: Reading, Writing, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chips…
Gary Stillman, the director of a small K-8
charter school in Buffalo, New York, is an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)
believer.
While privacy advocates fret that the embedded microchips will
be used to track people surreptitiously, Stillman said he believes that RFID
tags will make his inner city school safer and more efficient.
Stillman has gone whole-hog for radio-frequency
technology, which his year-old Enterprise Charter School started using last
month to record the time of day students arrive in the morning. In the next
months, he plans to use RFID to track library loans, disciplinary records,
cafeteria purchases and visits to the nurse’s office. Eventually he’d like to
expand the system to track students’ punctuality (or lack thereof) for every
class and to verify the time they get on and off school buses.
“That
way, we could confirm that Johnny Jones got off at Oak and Hurtle at 3:22,”
Stillman said. “All this relates to safety and keeping track of kids….
Eventually it will become a monitoring tool for us.”
Radio-frequency
identification tags — which have been hailed as the next-generation bar code –
consist of a microchip outfitted with a tiny antenna that broadcasts an ID
number to a reader unit. The reader searches a database for the number and finds
the related file, which contains the tagged item’s description, or in the case
of Enterprise Charter, the student’s information.
Euro
notes may be radio tagged…
Hitachi is rumored to be in
talks with the European Central Bank about embedding radio tags into euro
banknotes.
Radio tags the size of a grain of
sand could be embedded in the euro note if a rumored deal between the
European Central Bank (ECB) and Japanese electronics maker Hitachi is signed.
“RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags also have the ability of
recording information such as details of the transactions the paper note has
been involved in. It would, therefore, also prevent money-laundering, make it
possible to track illegal transactions and even prevent kidnappers demanding
unmarked bills,” Chopra said.
Library
adopts Spy Chips…
A civil liberties watchdog group is
expressing concern over the San Francisco Public Library’s plans to track books
by inserting computer chips into each tome. Library officials approved a plan
Thursday to install tiny radio frequency identification chips, known as RFIDs,
into the roughly 2 million books, CDs and audiovisual materials patrons can
borrow. The system still needs funding and wouldn’t be ready until at least 2005.
Your
car tires have RFID’s chips in them ALREADY!!!
Its a us
federal sponsored initiative to track vehicles near certain highways feeding
certain urban areas. Basically the FBI enters a rfid number into the database
and then history of travel for the car pops up. The feds can also pre-enter
rfids they want to watch after getting a reading off your parked car or from the
Canadian-us customs border (where they already actively log the car rfids in the
tires and associate them with plates)
Your tires have a passive coil with 64
to 128 bit serial number emitter in them!
Federal
Drug Administration approves use of the Mark of the Beast for medical
Patients…
And he shall make all, both little and great, rich
and poor, freemen and bondmen, to have a character in their right hand or on
their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, but he that hath the
character, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (Apocalypse Chapter 13: 16-17)
Medical milestone or privacy invasion? A tiny computer chip approved
Wednesday for implantation in a patient’s arm can speed vital information about
a patient’s medical history to doctors and hospitals. But critics warn that it
could open new ways to imperil the confidentiality of medical records.
The Food and Drug Administration said Wednesday that Applied Digital
Solutions of Delray Beach, Fla., could market the VeriChip, an implantable
computer chip about the size of a grain of rice, for medical purposes.
With the pinch of a syringe, the microchip is inserted under the skin in a
procedure that takes less than 20 minutes and leaves no stitches. Silently and
invisibly, the dormant chip stores a code that releases patient-specific
information when a scanner passes over it.
Think UPC code. The identifier, emblazoned on a food item, brings up its name
and price on the cashier’s screen. At the doctor’s office the codes stamped onto
chips, once scanned, would reveal such information as a patient’s allergies and
prior treatments, speeding care.
The microchips have already been implanted in 1 million pets. But the chip’s
possible dual use for tracking people’s movements – as well as speeding delivery
of their medical information to emergency rooms – has raised alarm.
Mexico’s Attorney General required the Mark of
the Beast in a 160 people. Thousands more are now
planned…
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO – Security has reached the subcutaneous level for
Mexico’s attorney general and at least 160 people in his office – they have been
implanted with microchips that get them access to secure areas of their
headquarters.
Mexico’s top federal prosecutors and investigators began receiving chip
implants in their arms in November in order to get access to restricted areas
inside the attorney general’s headquarters, said Antonio Aceves, general
director of Solusat, the company that distributes the microchips in Mexico.
Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha and 160 of his employees were
implanted at a cost to taxpayers of $150 for each rice grain-sized chip. More
are scheduled to get “tagged” in coming months, and key members of the Mexican
military, the police and the office of President Vicente Fox might follow suit,
Aceves said. Fox’s office did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Aceves said his company eventually hopes to provide Mexican officials with
implantable devices that can track their physical location at any given time,
but that technology is still under development.
The chips that have been implanted are manufactured by VeriChip Corp., a
subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions Inc. (ADSX)
of Palm Beach, Fla. They lie dormant under the skin until read by an
electromagnetic scanner, which uses a technology known as radio frequency
identification, or RFID, that’s now getting hot in the inventory and supply
chain businesses. Erik Michielsen, director of RFID analysis at ABI Research
Inc., said that in theory the chips could be as secure as existing RFID-based
access control systems such as the contactless employee badges widely used in
corporate and government facilities.
In addition to the chips sold to the Mexican government, more than 1,000
Mexicans have implanted them for medical reasons, Aceves said. Hospital
officials can use a scanning device to download a chip’s serial number, which
they then use to access a patient’s blood type, name and other information on a
computer. Still, Silverman said that his company has sold 7,000 chips to
distributors across the United States and that more than 1,000 of those had
likely been inserted into U.S. customers, mostly for security or identification
reasons.
Because the Applied Digital chips cannot be easily removed – and are housed
in glass capsules designed to break and be unusable if taken out – they could be
even more popular someday if they eventually can incorporate locator
capabilities. Already, global positioning system chips have become common
accouterments on jewelry or clothing in Mexico. In fact, in March, Mexican
authorities broke up a ring of used-car salesmen turned kidnappers who were
known as “Los Chips” because they searched their victims to detect whether they
were carrying the chips to help them be located.
Bio-chip implant “VeriPay” arrives for
cashless checkless society…
At a global security
conference held on November 21, 2003, in Paris, an American company, Applied
Digital Solutions, announced a new syringe-injectable microchip “VeriPay”
implant for humans, designed to be used as a fraud-proof payment method for cash
and credit-card transactions. The chip implant is being presented as an advance
over credit cards and smart cards, which, absent biometrics and appropriate
safeguard technologies, are subject to theft, resulting in identity fraud.
Cashless payment systems are now part of a larger technology development
subset: government identification experiments that seek to combine cashless
payment applications with national ID information on media (such as a “smart”
card), which contain a whole host of government, personal, employment and
commercial data and applications on a single, contactless RFID chip. “We are
the only ones out there offering implantable ID technology,” said Silverman, who
announced the “VeriPay” service during a speech Friday at ID World 2003 in
Paris. “We believe the market will evolve to use our product.”
VeriPay – Your Cash Register on the
move…
You can now accept credit card payments from your customers
anywhere and anytime. All you need is a standard GSM mobile phone, which becomes
an EFTPOS terminal in your pocket. You don’t even need to make a phone call -
transaction details are simply sent as an SMS text message and confirmed within
a few seconds. Ensure the card is good and money is in your bank before you
leave the job. No more end-of-day paperwork, visits to the bank or double
handling of transactions.
U.N.
meeting hears proposal for global human database, ID numbers, to register
everyone…
Every person in the world would be fingerprinted
and registered under a universal identification scheme to fight illegal
immigration and people smuggling outlined at a United Nations meeting today.
The plan was put forward by Pascal Smet, the head of Belgium’s independent
asylum review board, at a roundtable meeting with ministers including Australian
Immigration Minister Philip Ruddock this afternoon. But he said the plan could
be extended worldwide.
Verichip, a miniaturized, implantable
identification device with a variety of medical, security and emergency
applications…
VeriChip is an implantable, 12mm by 2.1mm radio frequency device about the
size of the point of a typical ballpoint pen. Each VeriChip will contain a
unique identification number and other critical data. Utilizing an external
scanner, radio frequency energy passes through the skin energizing the dormant
VeriChip, which then emits a radio frequency signal transmitting the
identification number and other data contained in the VeriChip. The scanner will
display the identification number, but the VeriChip data can also be
transmitted, via telephone or the Internet, to an FDA compliant, secure
data-storage site. It will then be accessible by authorized personnel. Inserting
the VeriChip device is a simple procedure performed in an outpatient, office
setting. It requires only local anesthesia, a tiny incision and perhaps a small
adhesive bandage. Sutures are not necessary.
Ex-New
Jersey surgeon offers himself for experiment
NEWARK — The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center have spurred a
former surgeon from New Jersey to turn himself into a human guinea pig. Five
days after the Sept. 11 attacks, Richard Seelig spent about five minutes
implanting two “Verichips” — each no larger than a small breath mint — below
the skin of his right forearm and right hip.
Florida
firm first to sell ID microchips to be implanted under
skin…
“Digital Angel”: technology
that cares
The Digital Angel is a computer
chip that is smaller than a grain of rice and has a short antenna. It is placed under the skin of a person and
the chip sends a signal to cell phone towers and satellites in the sky and it
can tell the body temperature, pulse, heartbeat, insulin levels, etc. and it
also tells the location of a person anywhere in the world. All this information on a person would be
available over the internet. This chip
can also be put in furniture or anything of value for tracking in case of
theft. It can also be put in food to
record temperature and location as it is shipped across the country.
The Digital Angel demonstration will be
held on Thursday, October 26, at the Unconvention Center (Pier 94) in New York
City. Roughly 200 invitations will be
issued to interested members of the national media, potential
joint-venture/licensing partners and selected Wall Street analysts. As previously announced, attendees of the
event will witness an historical first: the first-ever operational combination
of bio-sensor technology and Web-enabled wireless telecommunications linked to
GPS location-tracking systems.
Applied Digital Solutions (ADSX) holds all
the patents on the Digital Angel. The
projected worldwide sales is $100 billion dollars. The stock is currently selling at 36 cents a
share. They call it “technology that
cares.” We call it the Mark of the
Beast or 666.
Back in 2000 Applied Digital Solutions used this
above graphic for their Digital Angel product. The angel image on the
left was a part of an early ‘splash’ screen for a GPS-based tracking device
similar to OnStar or LoJack designed to be worn by or implanted in humans for
medical monitoring, location of at-risk individuals, firearms control, and as “a
foolproof means of identification for e-commerce security.
The image in the
center is the prior image inverted. Many
people feel that the line drawing of the angel forms a clear and distinct
pattern resembling the number 666 – the Number of the Beast from the Book of
Revelations. The image on the right highlights this pattern. Was this design a
deliberate act of sabotage or an unfortunate accident of design or a sign of the
prophecy?

The Mark of the Beast and the Mark
of the Living Christ…
“You have been asked to wear a sacramental about
your neck. Now I will explain why, My children. I have warned you of the unseen
evil forces about you. I have cautioned you that your human eyes cannot see
this. But it exists and is as solid in their world as you are on your earthly
plane. Know this, that there are two camps now on earth: Lucifer on one side and
the road to Heaven and its followers on the other. You have all been marked.
There are two signs now: the mark of the beast and the mark of the living
Christ.
“Recognize the
signs of the times, My children. The war is on.” – Our Lady of the Roses, March

Insight…
“As time goes on,
My children of light, you will be able to recognize with your human eyes,
through insight from the Eternal Father in the Spirit, those who are marked with
the sign of the cross or the beast.” – Our Lady of the Roses, July 25,
1978
Marked with the mark of
satan…
“My child, there will be very many victims upon earth: those who
are willing to sacrifice their own pleasures, their own human pursuits, to give
them over to the salvation of souls, their brothers and sisters, who are marked
with the mark of satan and are seeking to take it away. There is only one way:
conversion, and then cure of the sick soul.” – Jesus, July 25, 1985
Every person of conscionable
age…
“The final count shall be in the few of those who are to be saved.
My children, at this very moment of time upon earth, each and every person of
conscionable age has been marked with the sign of the cross and redemption, or
they have accepted on free will the mark of the beast, eternal damnation!” -Our
Lady of the Roses, August 14, 1978
Be branded…
“Each man on
earth who has been baptized and set himself up as a follower of My Son in
infancy has received the mark of the cross upon him. He can in his lifetime cast
this away and be branded with the mark of the beast. This will be of his choice.
No man will be lost without his own choice.” -Our Lady of the Roses, December
