Hmmm link not working now....
This is something my mom has warned me and my whole family about saying she believes the microchips are the mark of the beast talked about in the bible.
We all laughed at my grandfather back in the early 80’s when he announced one day we would be going to the store with no cash in our pockets and leaving with whatever we normally would get by swiping a card.
Grandpa was right!
I’ll try to give you the gist of the article. Hope it hasn’t been taken down and the link will eventually work...
The House passed a bill to allow mental patients to be chipped so that if they wandered away they could be found. Very humanitarian sounding purpose.
But there was discussion and mockery about who would actually go find them. The FBI is not going to be in the business of tracking down your wandering family member. (I can’t remember if the article said the data would be restricted, but somehow I had the impression that it was definitely not public and probably not shared with local LEOs, either. Hence the FBI example.)
IMO this is how the DS gets us to do things that are not in our best interest. They introduce them for a very limited special case. That’s the camel’s nose in the tent. Then they gradually expand it further and further until it’s either universal or mandatory.
Some people would be willing to chip their wandering relative with dementia, especially if they’ve had scares before. I can guarantee you that the next step would be to push this on parents who are afraid their kids will be kidnapped. After that, they’ll cook up some excuse to get average adults to do it. I have plenty of ideas on how they’d do that, but don’t want to give the DS any more ideas than they already have on their own.
