Wisconsin Company Celebrates ‘Microchipping’ Employees with ‘Chip Party’

Wisconsin – Three Square Market celebrated implanting microchips in their employees Tuesday with a ‘chip party’.

The RFID chip will allow people to log into computers, open doors and purchase snacks from vending machines. CREEPY. The company claims that the chips do not have GPS tracking capability. Sure…

WBay reports:

Three Square Market has received international attention since it announced the voluntary microchip program, believed to be the first of its kind in the United States.

The microchip program is voluntary. If willing, employees allow the company to implant a Radio-Frequency Identification chip between the thumb and forefinger.

The RFID chip will open doors, log in to computers, and make purchases from vending machines. The technology is similar to mobile pay services like Apple Pay and Google Wallet.

Three Square Market assures employees that they will not be able to track them because the chip does not have GPS. Data on the microchip is encrypted.

The company says the chip is FDA approved. It is removed “similar to a splinter.”

A reporter from our Milwaukee partner station WISN is covering the “chip party.” Tim Elliott had a chip implanted and tweeted that it “hurt a bit … like a mean pinch.”

Revelations 13:16-17

16: And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17:And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

That's ridiculous. Getting this chip at work has nothing to do woth the mark of the beast. Nothing. Taking the mark of the beast is a sign of worship for the anti-Christ and a rejection of Christ's salvation.

I remember when bar codes were first being used on credit cards and some of my employees who attended Rock Church didn't want to accept credit cards anymore because John Giminez was telling them that it was the mark of the beast and if they handles customer's cards they were being complicit with the anti-Christ. Sheer nonsnense.

The media had first reported this as a company forcing its workers to have the chips put in.

You may think it’s “ridiculous” and “nonsense” so you go right ahead and let an employer or gov’t put a chip in your body. Good luck.

Actually, it is pretty smart. It’s convenient if you are honest. If you are not honest, it’s a walk in the park to become someone else.

One of people’s biggest complaints are remembering passwords/userids and carrying ID’s. For those people, it works. No wonder executives like it. Rich people don’t like either of those things.

Wait until they find out the RF ID is easily hackable and that there is zero controls for electronic records using them such that it makes the ID useless.

will not be able to track them because the chip does not have GPS

Uhhh... while the chip may not have GPS, all the chip reader's locations are known. Ergo, at least while in the companies buildings and with enough readers, your whereabouts are very trackable.

I’ve suspected for some time now that younger folks may actually have had chips embedded from the start!

It may work but it is still bondage. Convenience is the most expensive commodity of all.

No, the employees voluntarily did that by choosing to carry a GPS-enabled cell phone everywhere they go.

The tracking checkbox was ticked years ago...

“Convenience is the most expensive commodity of all.”

It’s also the most requested. Many people prefer convenience over everything.
