Maybe it all comes down to this one thing and it is not pretty at all. CONTROL !!! We are losing freedoms every single day. This thing here is the ultimate loss of freedom. When we have started putting kids in cages, letting people starve, involuntary servitude and a man about to grab TOTAL power, it is evil. It is wrong. This may not concern many people, but for people who are being led down the Primrose path to slaughter and every move watched, it is pretty scarier than a Big Brother Move or a 1984 movie.

NO matter what age you are or claim to be, surely you’ve figured out ‘googoling’ by now. Now comes, Generations X, Y. and Z — the 21-something’s and older are the last generation who know and understand the implications of super-chipping human beings. They were raised by the first-and last-fruit of The Joshua Generation, who will soon be called “old fashioned,” “crazy old people,” and “too old to understand all of this lovely new life-saving and life-enhancing big super-technology”. They are after the MILLENNIALS, those who are age 20 and below at this time — most of whom are just now turning 18 this year. By the time this generation comes “of age” and the rest of us are considered “just old people who don’t know what we’re talking about,” or “wizened with ridiculous superstitions” this human chipping capacity will not only be acceptable amongst a tech-crazed younger more savvy and computer-savvy generation, even more savvy than their 30-something counterparts from the LATE 1900s … but it has already started with “wearable” technology. The latest and greatest thing ever! in our best “Betsy Wetsy Dingdong” voice, will be the TRUE Millennials in action between now and 2025 when they will be closer to age 30 and thoroughly ingrained. They will ultimately force their aged and aging parents and grandparents from the olden days of the 20th century to wear these things in order to keep up with them, just like they keep up with lost cats and dogs and other pets. It will become THE LAW and the profits to chip your elderly parents and your pets… Laugh if you must. They aren’t trying to sell US the human micro-chips, they know we are a definitive NO and with very good reason. They’re already preparing for the FUTURE, the TRUE Millennials, which -by the way- already happened yesterday. Don’t blink. You’ll miss it if you do. ~GAME OVER~ -30- REFERENCES <div>_<a href="https://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120220/health-fitness/Chip-inserted-under-the-skin-delivers-drug.407629#" target="_blank">Monday, February 20, 2012, 00:00</a> — Chip inserted under the skin delivers drug</div> <div>_<a href="http://divpixel.net/veriteq/patientId.html" target="_blank">VertiTEQ</a></div> <div>_Even <a href="https://rs.rbth.com/news/2017/08/11/ruski-lekar-kljucheve-lozinke-i-vizit-kartu-drzhi-pod-kozhom_821006" target="_blank" title="">Russia, Trump’s Bosses and America’s True Leaders, are on Top of this Next-Gen Gaming</a>...and it’s probably going to be doing your VOTING for you, too … </div> <div></div> <div> <hr> STAY TUNED... </div> rss@dailykos.com (Marjani) Collusion ConspiracyTheories gameover gamingsystems GenerationX GenerationY GenerationZ humanchip MarkoftheBeast microchips Millennials RFID Russia RussianInfluence skinchip Superstitions theunitedstatesofrussia trump wearabletechnology _1784772 Tue, 31 Jul 2018 08:44:09 +0000 Daily Kos Radio's KITM podcast (AUDIO): Kagro in the Morning, Tuesday, November 3, 2015 https://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/11/3/1443390/-Daily-Kos-Radio-s-KITM-podcast-AUDIO-Kagro-in-the-Morning-Monday-November-3-2015 <center><iframe style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/3907092/height/302/width/540/theme/legacy/direction/no/autoplay/no/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/preload/no/no_addthis/no/" height="302" width="540" scrolling="no" defang_webkitallowfullscreen="" defang_mozallowfullscreen="" defang_oallowfullscreen="" defang_msallowfullscreen=""></iframe></center> <center><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-kos-radio-kagro-in-morning/id581551976">Find us on iTunes</a> | <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/daily-kos-radio-kagro-in-the-morning">Find us on Stitcher</a> | <a href="http://kagrox.libsyn.com/">RSS</a> | <a href="https://recurrency.us/members/kagrox">Donate to support the show!</a></center> <a href="https://recurrency.us/members/kagrox">David Waldman</a> is still out today, but will be back tomorrow, and so will Greg Dworkin, and Joan McCarter!

In a time where bi-partisan politicians like Chris Christie have been pilloried by text-messaging, new technological solutions should be available for American moral consistency and rearmament. Embedded RF-ID chips meet that need to distinguish the Tea Party Patriots from the Tea Party Express. The <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/22/us/religious-right-in-arizona-cheers-bill-allowing-businesses-to-refuse-to-serve-gays.html?_r=0">Arizona law</a> allowing religious discrimination against business customers needs a technology that will ensure that humans marked by the sign of the beast have some authentic documentation of their violation of a business owner's personal religious preferences for clientèle. Similarly religiously inclined medical professionals unwilling to treat those whose cultural practices are objectionable should have a technological safeguard against their validating those practices. GOP controlled State Governments are now trying to implement those safeguards while resisting other Federal laws including firearms registration and voter registration. While some of those legislatures have toyed with the idea of tracking lost children, dangerous sexual offenders or parolees with the technology while trying prevent their broader implementation, the actions of state legislatures like AZ's in trying to ensure broad public policy protections for religious preferences should be applauded in moving that broader implementation in time for the 2014 and 2016 elections. Sometimes just putting a sign in your shop window doesn't always ensure that your business is safe from the cultural pollutions of sexual or linguistic preferences. Businesses could ensure that their late afternoons aren't disrupted by school children shoplifting with their RFID chips safely in their skin much like their school metal detectors. Note how ineffective this sign is by not being bilingual. RFID chips liberates your entrepreneurial freedom by letting your loss-prevention gates to double as moral guardians of your spiritual service.   <div class="dkimg-c"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/dk-production/images/70760/large/5752764282_eaeacc612e_m_1__1_.jpg?1393357108" alt="" width="240" height="182" /></div> <blockquote>A <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microchip_implant_(human)">human microchip implant</a> is an identifying integrated circuit device or RFID transponder encased in silicate glass and implanted in the body of a human being. A subdermal implant typically contains a unique ID number that can be linked to information contained in an external database, such as personal identification, medical history, medications, allergies, and contact information.</blockquote> If you're a business owner or franchisee, imagine the growth in new technologies that are not only loss prevention-friendly but leverage the cultural control of your customer base, merging the effectiveness of the TSA with the behavioral logic of a Wal-Mart greeter. Individual RFID implants solve one of the graphic problems of an earlier, greater generation's demographic management of cultural differences. For example, Tatoos, while aesthetic, can be more problematic with their dangerous historical and cultural associations while an RFID tag will eliminate voter-fraud and ensure a sound, moral economy. <a href="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/25/53418938_1ead4de045.jpg"><img src="https://farm1.staticflickr.com/25/53418938_1ead4de045.jpg" /></a> If Governor Brewer signs the latest of a generation of new family-value bills, she will render the inherent problems of analog communication null and lead a pro-RFID GOP to a brave new digital millennium as well as victories in 2014 and 2016. <a href="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3571/3438875912_fe89499d3f.jpg"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3571/3438875912_fe89499d3f.jpg" /></a> rss@dailykos.com (annieli) Arizona Civil Rights CivilRights Culture Economy Elections Law RFID Science Snark _1280300 Tue, 25 Feb 2014 19:45:38 +0000 It is all about this...Chipping away freedom..Mr. Vice President where do you stand on this today? https://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/6/8/1214732/-It-is-all-about-this-Chipping-away-freedom-Mr-Vice-President-where-do-you-stand-on-this-today <div class="dkimg-c"><img src="http://s3.amazonaws.com/dk-production/images/35727/large/4thAmendment.jpg?1370732080" alt="" /></div> The RFID chip is what all this tracking is leading up to.   The people with religious leanings are afraid.   The people concerned about tracking and spying are outraged.

I thought...yes that is close to the truth.  I started doing a little research without Ron Paul or a so called preacher putting the notion in my head.  I wanted to know some truth.   I did a little research because I am concerned over my privacy.  I have nothing to hide but that is not the point.  I have the right to privacy.. Period. Here are some interesting things you may already know about but I was kind of shocked.  From Wikepedia:  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio-frequency_identification">http://en.wikipedia.org/...</a> <blockquote>Implantable RFID chips designed for animal tagging are now being used in humans. An early experiment with RFID implants was conducted by British professor of cybernetics Kevin Warwick, who implanted a chip in his arm in 1998. In 2004 Conrad Chase offered implanted chips in his night clubs in Barcelona[50] and Rotterdam to identify their VIP customers, who in turn use it to pay for drinks. The Food and Drug Administration in the US has approved the use of RFID chips in humans.[51] Some business establishments give customers the option of using an RFID-based tab to pay for service, such as the Baja Beach nightclub in Barcelona.[52] This has provoked concerns into privacy of individuals as they can potentially be tracked wherever they go by an identifier unique to them. There are concerns this could lead to abuse by an authoritarian government or lead to removal of freedoms.[53] </blockquote> They are mandated many places and here is more info <blockquote>Mandates[edit]Wal-Mart and the United States Department of Defense have published requirements that their vendors place RFID tags on all shipments to improve supply chain management. Due to the size of these two organizations, their RFID mandates impact thousands of companies worldwide. The deadlines have been extended several times because many vendors face significant difficulties implementing RFID systems. In practice, the successful read rates currently run only 80%, due to radio wave attenuation caused by the products and packaging. In time it is expected that even small companies will be able to place RFID tags on their outbound shipments. Wal-Mart[edit] An EPC RFID tag used by Wal-Mart. In January 2005, Wal-Mart required its top 100 suppliers to apply RFID labels to all shipments. To meet this requirement, vendors use RFID printer/encoders to label cases and pallets that require EPC tags for Wal-Mart. These smart labels are produced by embedding RFID inlays inside the label material, and then printing bar code and other visible information on the surface of the label.[citation needed] In October 2005 the University of Arkansas' Information Technology Research Institute released a report on its preliminary study of the impact of RFID on reducing retail out-of-stocks and concluded that RFID reduced out of stocks (OOS) by 21% over non-RFID based stores.[74] Two years later the Wall Street Journal published an article titled "Wal-Mart's Radio-Tracked Inventory Hits Static."[this quote needs a citation] The articles stated that the RFID plan set forth by Wal-Mart was "showing signs of fizzling"[this quote needs a citation] due to a lack of progress by Wal-Mart executives to introduce the technology to its stores and to the lack of incentives for suppliers.[citation needed] U.S. Department of Defense[edit]The DoD requirements for RFID tags on packages of military supplies is prescribed in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplements (DFARS) 252.211-7006.[75] Positioning of the tag needs to be completed in accordance with the clause and definitions in MIL STD 129 and as of 1 March 2007, EPC Global tags must comply with EPCglobal Class 1 Generation 2 specification.[ </blockquote> I do not know about you but I am a human being and wish to be treated as such. Not treated as an article of clothing or piece of meat being shipped in from China or any other country.  I want my own ability to choose my method of payment, or not live in a robotic state.   The bad news is that there are eyes in the skies and these devices can be manipulated and in my opinion nothing beats a gut instinct or good old fashion know how.  Humans will always be cruel and not act humane but the thought of all of this altering of food and climate change due to fracking and drilling and implanting is not progess.   It causes distraction of the spirit of mankind, to live in a human not matrix state of affairs.   Where has all of this progress brought us?  More war? More destruction?   More violence?  What good has become from the technology that we possess  in a moderate state?  We human do nothing moderately.   I think of the possibilites of secrecy that we do not even know about.   I am more concerned for our future generations because this may all be normal to them in a very strange way.   They will never know perhaps what life is like to not have every move watched and documented.  This is not conspiracy.  This is fact and if it were not ..tell me why would our Vice President ask this question of Judge Roberts during confirmation about this very thing ?   <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/FQw68jl7KXc" frameborder="0" defang_allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Life in this world is changing.......in my opinion not for the better but we must encourage one another to keep hoping some sanity returns, along with out right to privacy..

So i did some internnet research and I found out that the obamacare bill that was passed says that we ALL have to get RFID chips implanted in our bodies by next MArch 23 and that the government will be getting information from our bodies sent remotely to the pentagon and that the chips will know everyone about us and will even be linked to our BANK ACCOUNTS.

This chip will not only contain your personal information with tracking capability but it will also be linked to your bank account. ... On Sunday March 21, 2010 the Senate Healthcare bill HR3200 was passed and signed into law the following Tuesday. Page 1004 of the new law (dictating the timing of this chip), reads, and I quote: “Not later than 36 months after the date of the enactment” </blockquote>   Just ot be clear I VOTED for Obama but I never thought this would happen.

I doubt that Jan Brewer has read the Communist Manifesto or the Koran or the Democratic Party platform or anything else that she (let alone the woman looming behind her on the website's banner, Sarah Palin) might criticize, but by all means let's play on her turf.  So, I read the bill.  I reproduce the bill below the fold so that you can do so too.

Consider Radio Frequency Identification tags, or RFIDs. A long-standing practice of biologists is to tag animals with tracking devices so their locations and behaviors can be monitored. In a few short years this technology will be coming to a human near you. In recent months U.S. manufacturers announced plans to utilize RFIDs in a staggering array of products. Making use of the same technology that allows cars to sail through EZ Pass tolls, RFIDs are slated to appear on clothing, sneakers, razors, books, boots, and just about everything else that a tiny tracking device can be stitched onto or into. The initial incentive is a highly practical one: "tagged" products can be readily tracked through the distribution gauntlet from factory to store shelf. Concealed like many extant antitheft devices, they will do nothing unless touched by a "reader signal," which makes the RFID "reply" with its own unique signal – an electronic dialogue invisible to the person wearing it. rss@dailykos.com (BTrent) dissident PATRIOT Act PATRIOTAct Rescued RFID Surveillance _318554 Mon, 02 Apr 2007 05:05:15 +0000 Bush Administration Blames Market Plunge on Chinese Plot: The Manchurian Columbidae https://www.dailykos.com/story/2007/2/28/306532/-Bush-Administration-Blames-Market-Plunge-on-Chinese-Plot-The-Manchurian-Columbidae <img src="http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7006/manchuriancolumbidae2em6.jpg" /> President Bush displaying a captured and killed "Manchurian Columbidae" Washington, DC (APE) - In an early morning press conference today President George Bush blamed yesterday's over 400 point loss in the US stock market on a highly sophisticated avian spy program initiated by the Chinese.

Bush claimed that CIA scientists verified that the chip was capable of various tasks including monitoring as well as disrupting electronic communications.
