U.S. to Weigh Computer Chip Implant

GREAT idea! The government can track our every move! I love it! NO MORE TERRORISTS! I can get rid of all my guns because I'll be safe and secure with the government protecting me at all times.

[Demidog]

I think they should put it in the foreskin.

[Dog Gone]

Hmmm, that's an interesting idea, and I'll bet it would work.

As for the thread announcing my demise from FR earlier this morning, that was something written by my friend as a funny diversion. I never said I was leaving this place, nor did my friend think I was even considering it. It was intended as a parody, more than anything else.

In any event, I'm glad to be here, even if the Admin Moderator decided that my less than serious post last night deserved no further consideration.

"How quickly will one be able to get several of these? Switchable by the wearer so as to be able to exhibit whatever information is desired at the time."

The intent of the EMP pulse was to destroy the chip. But....You've just given me another idea...Hmmmm.

[lawdog]

"...that would be difficult to remove and tough to mimic"

No such thing but but it will be "sold" to the sheep as "protection". As for me I'll pass and take my chances.

Revelation 13:16
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:

I have always been a suporter of the King James Bible. If you do a search on this chapter and verse of Revelation, say on a site like Bible Gateway, you will find that if you compare the King James to all the other Bibles, almost all other Bibles say the Mark will be ON the hand or ON the forehead. Looks like the King James may be calling this one correctly.

Build a small portable EMP generator that will 'fry' the small metal leads on these chips.

If "they" are monitoring people's locations with these implants, and then the device is suddenly disabled, there will likely be "enforcement units" that are sent out to locate and arrest the individual (since disabling the device will be made a felony).

That's the bad news.

The good news is that if you know the nazis are on their way, some "interesting preparations" can be made ahead of time.

[concerned about politics]

Applied Digital has consulted theologians and appeared on the religious television program the ``700 Club'' to assure viewers the chip didn't fit the biblical description of the mark because it is under the skin and hidden from view.

Just because it can't be seen now doesn't mean that won't change later.
Will people remember exactly where the little grain of rice is implanted ?
They'll ask for the the area to be marked clearly so people know where to find it, and scanners can find it easier.
The little mark will be similar to the numbers 666.

[concerned about politics]

AND....It will be placed in the right hand or forehead where the skin is thin, and the bones behind it will keep it near the surface.

``The line in the sand that we draw is that the use of the VeriChip would always be voluntarily,'' said Keith Bolton, chief technology officer and a vice president at Applied Digital. ``We would never provide it to a company that intended to coerce people to use it.''

Mr. Bolton, can I just ask you as to who the hell you think you are? You cannot make no such promises or guarantees, they carry no weight before any part of our govt that would make it mandatory, or help me in a legal system where it would be against the law not to wear it. I'd have better luck with a note from my mommy. You are making statements that you do not have the power to enforce.

Just a slow start.Try to get a cell phone account without a ss#.

[Diddle E. Squat]

Cost of an implant device: $6.66.

Cost of freedom: Priceless.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Agree w/ya

[Doctor Stochastic]

Don't think of it as a problem; think it of it as an opportunity.

[Republican Wildcat]

I'll have to agree with your sentiments. If it was voluntary, then what is the point of it?
