I've become obsessed with the following issues; human chip implants, bio metric Markers and national identifican cards. What brought this obsession on? Big Brother is breathing down my neck, do you feel the heat of big brother's presence too? Where's the outrage?
Yesterday on "Hardball," Tony Snow mention using "bio metric markers" in reference to the proposed guest worker program. Chris Matthews asked Snow point blank; why the current immigration proposal stated that there wouldn't be national id cards (cards for guestworker and Americans alike.) Tony Snow stated that there would be a "National identity system."
What exactly does this mean? Chris did press Snow enough where he actually confessed that the "National identity system" will be meant for everyone, guest workers and Americans alike. He mentioned possibly using "biometric markers" such as fingerprint readers but he did not commit to that.
I've written a couple of diaries (see below) in reference to human chip implants and how the technology is already being used in the U.S. Could the government be considering this type of a marker for the National identity system?
The government isn't giving us the details on this "National identity system." I want to know what's in store for us in the near future, don't you?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the RFID chip. With the go ahead from the government; the process of implanting identity chips in human beings has begun.
The Verichip product will be implanted in a select number of Alzheimer's patients at a Florida day care facility. Consent from family members or competent patients is a requirement. The implant will be placed under the skin of the right forearm. When the chip is scanned, the chip will link to the medical records of the patient. This procedure is considered beneficial to the patient because of the accessibility to information that the patient most likely will be unable to provide for themselves.
My gut instinct was telling me that this was a bad thing, so I decided to do what I always do when I'm concerned; seach the net. Through the internet, I followed the money and the search led me to former Health and Human Services Secretary, Tommy Thompson who now serves on the board of directors of Verichip. A "Youtube" video clip was the source for the information. The video showed Thompson as a guest of "Squawk box," promoting the Verichip product. During his interview, he provided examples of how the chip would be useful. According to Tommy Thompson; one way the chip could be used is by "keeping your child safe."
Chip implantation is a slippery slope, in my opinion. First the government will want to protect the elderly; next they'll want to protect the children. Who knows, it may even be used for the guest worker program. Before you know it, every American will need a chip for identification and security purposes. Maybe this scenario is a stretch but the way I see it, chip implantation in Alzheimer's patients opens the flood gates and once that happens, there will be no stopping the expansion of implantation.
