You may or may not have already seen this article on CNN.
Two employees of a surveillance equipment company had small microchips put into their forearms. It was an extra security measure to protect extremely classified information. It’s the same technology that’s in your MasterCard when you just flash it in front of the scanner instead of swiping it. Lot’s of people like the idea of using these little chips to keep tabs on criminals, sex offenders and Alzheimer patients.
Chipping, these critics said, might start with Alzheimer’s patients or Army Rangers, but would eventually be suggested for convicts, then parolees, then sex offenders, then illegal aliens — until one day, a majority of Americans, falling into one category or another, would find themselves electronically tagged…
“Ultimately,” says Katherine Albrecht, a privacy advocate who specializes in consumer education and RFID technology, “the fear is that the government or your employer might someday say, ‘Take a chip or starve.’”
I guarantee you that’s where this is going. Not only does it make sense. It will help with global health, safety, peace and commerce.
A chipped person’s medical profile can be continuously updated, since the information is stored on a database accessed via the Internet.
When credit cards were introduced back in the 70’s a whole lot of people were freaked out that it was the mark of the beast. It wasn’t. And niether is this. Yet.
The Bible is clear that the Mark of the Beast goes hand in hand with worship of the Antichrist. You can’t accidentally get the mark and then your damned. The issue isn’t the mark, it’s the worship of the leader who’s making everyone get it.
Someone doesn’t need a Bible to just look around and see that things are headed this direction. It just makes sense. And that is exactly how many things are going to come to a boil: slowly and seemingly logically.

Just on a practical level, there’s so many security holes with this that’s it’s ridiculous.
For example, my badge at work carries an RFID chip, the same basic technology being implanted here. And we’re already concerned about people stealing our number on these, which are easily replaced. If someone stole your info off one of these chips…you’re sunk.

I think the real problem here is that people don’t understand the technology. People seem to think that because there is a chip in them they can be tracked. It doesn’t work like that. In order to read it, depending on the type, the reader must be in contact with the skin or with in a few inches. If someone can get that close with a reader they might as well steal my wallet. There are also chips that have the ability to be re-written meaning your ID number can be changed. You can update you number once a month or if you think that someone did find a way to get the number. It would be no different then getting a new credit card if yours was stolen.
I don’t like the idea of being tracked, but I think in most cases RFID technology is harmless. People need to understand technology before they criticize it.

Hmmm…I wasn’t aware RFIDs were writable. That does make a big difference.
I still find the idea of having an electronic device embedded in my body disgusting, though.

Very good, George…you appear to be the perfect candidate to be implanted with RFID technology…

One of the interesting things about RFID technology is that could be be used the same as your credit card. When you want to purchase something, you simply swipe your hand at the resister instead of your credit card. The only real difference is that an RFID chip is much harder to physically steal and so, in that respect, more secure. Admittedly, it does contain the same privacy concerns as a credit card as well though. When you swipe your card, your transaction is logged. The bank now has your place and time of purchase, and the amount purchased. Why is it that no one has a problem with this? If you don’t complain about that, than how would a chip be any different? People already stick plenty of other devices in their bodies, including, but certainly not limited to contacts and pacemakers. One last thing, people are concerned about being readily identifiable. This chip would be no different than a fingerprint other than it is a little more difficult to get the number since the reader needs to be within a few inches of the chip. Finger prints, on the other hand, are left everywhere. If someone wanted to identify my it wouldn’t be hard to pull a print off something I touched.

This is all part of GOD’s plan!!!! Illuminati, (worshipers of the Devil), funded this whole crap so they can monitor every single person in this whole wide world after they make this nation one. New World Order = Novus Ordo Seclorum (just like you dollar bill). Don’t believe it, than get the chip. of course you WILL go to hell!!!
