A Wisconsin company is to become the first in the US to microchip employees.
Three Square Market is offering to implant the tiny radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip into workers' hands for free - and says everyone will soon be doing it.
The rice grain-sized $300 (£230) chip will allow them to open doors, log in to computers and even purchase food.
And so far, 50 employees have signed up for the chance to become half-human, half-walking credit card.
But far from being some sort of dystopian nightmare, Three Square Market's Patrick McMullan believes everyone will soon be wanting their own microchip.
"The international market place is wide open and we believe that the future trajectory of total market share is going to be driven by whoever captures this arena first," Mr McMullan said.

There is some data that indicates chipped pets have a higher incident rate of some cancers.
Great movie.
Typical Coburn flick.
Mamas don’t let your babies be robots.....
Someday in the next generation or two American citizens won’t be able to buy a gun, ammunition, gasoline, a house, go to school, be employed, receive medical care or ride a bus, a train or an airplane unless they have an embedded RFID chip.
There will probably be a federal law requiring one be installed at birth.
But the last few older citizens who refuse to have one will be hunted down in the mountain wilderness and national forests like rabid dogs by spy satellites and government agents “for their own safety”.
However, the chip will not be required to vote in elections.
Then they are “terminated” as in Escape from New York style.
Mondaq site, kinda of click bait but easy to close that window. Will check out Katherine Albrecht who has been a real crusader against taking the RFID chip for any reason. This may gain more momentum in the media. Or not.
The first implant for buying and selling was the Barcelona Beach Club (since stopped but adopted by a club in the Netherlands). Alex Jones broke that story; it eventually was picked up by BBC. That article may still be in BBC's archives from several years ago now.
It's another trial balloon imo. Christians will be derided for thinking it's the MOB.
1. I don't believe them. Just because they don't "do tracking" doesn't mean there isn't GPS in it that can be activated at any time.
2. Even if it isn't GPSing employees, it's providing way too much information.
3. Anything that starts small is just opening the door. The Brave New World will microchip everyone....GPS, financial transactions, who you're associating with, keys, travel, time spent at any location.....
Scary stuff. We're almost there.
I find is curious that the article doesn’t say what city this company is located. I bet it is more ‘Fake News”
I never saw that one...
Of course in ‘67 the technology was just a dream, now it’s here...
LOL! A most intelligent response!!
Not in the true GPS sense, but your location can be tracked, when readers are more universally located in or outside the business. However, in more advanced setup, and RFID reader/GPS device interface is all that is needed.
I will never “want” one. Wont take any either.
I examine near term (fewer than 73 days from today) prophecy in detail at “The Rescue of the Bride” http://october-5-2017.com The Great Sign of the Woman appears on September 23, 2017 exactly at sunset in Jerusalem - exactly at the end of Rosh Ha Shanah, exactly at the time of the blowing of “the last trump.” [The two (2) day observance will start one day late this year.] In my opinion, this is a likely “rescue” date. We see the first evidence that the “rescue” has occurred when “The Great Multitude in White Robes” [Revelation 7:9ff] appears in the throne room of Yahuah (God) twelve (12) days later just after the opening of the Sixth Seal on October 5, 2017. These events allow us to unlock the timeline of the Book of Revelation.

Dish network in Denver was run by a tyrant that didn’t think bathroom breaks should count towards time in the office, and everyone’s every move seemed to be monitored.
Not really. The problem is RFIDs are nothing more than unique IDs, they have no meaning without the database. If your work door badge has a RFID (which it probably does) and you walk with it past some store’s RFID reader that they use to track merchandise all they get is some ID, they have no idea that it’s you or your work badge. It’s just some RFID that popped out a unique ID that’s not in their database and they will ignore. Really they’re a lot like barcodes, you let your grocery store scanner read your gym barcode instead of the loyalty card it just says “unknown number” and moves on.
They CAN’T do GPS tracking, it’s just a RFID.”””
YES—THEY CAN TRACK YOU: THEY ABSOLUTELY CAN !!
About 13 years ago, there was a very large push to RFID EVERYTHING in the animal kingdom-—EVEN TREES.
I have horses. They tried to sell the 4-H & the FFA in various states with idea that this RFID chip could be used to find MY HORSE(S) if any of them were stolen or they got out. The chip would be implanted in their necks.
I argued that the government had VIN Numbers on autos since the mid 50’s or earlier & they still couldn’t find stolen cars-—so why should they find stolen horses?
Also- There were about 5 different kinds of RFID chips then & every Animal Control department would have to have all those different kinds of ‘readers’ to scan the chips. For the horse owner it got even more stupid:
I would have to carry a ‘reader’ with me all the time in my truck when I was transporting MY horses to PROVE that these were MY horses. I could be stopped at any time for that reason alone.
I would have to file a ‘travel plan’ at least 24 hours ahead of time if I wanted to trailer my horses ANYWHERE off my property (which was recorded in their databases) and IF I had any kind of emergency—I would be violating that 24 hour notice. I would have to name every horse—their description —and a very detailed explanation of my travel itinerary, the route where & when I intended to travel. I also had to file the reverse of such info when I returned. IF I didn’t file this data timely enough to their satisfaction, 24 hours, the fine would be $5000-—for each transgression for each horse.
IF I RODE my horse off the property-—same rules—24 hours ahead of time. File for going off the property & file for returning back to the property. BIG BROTHER & OH BROTHER !! -—all in one package.
Such rules erased any kind of ‘spontaneity’ with neighbors calling each other for a nice ride on a nice day, without a 24 hour notice & filing of such papers. Keep in mind that all of this required a computer to make the Feds happy;. I ride with alot of people & alot of them DO NOT have or use a computer.
IF I filed a route to a horse event with the FEDS & had to use a different route due to detours-—I would be subject to a $5000 fine. IF I got eliminated from that event & returned home early-—I would also be in violation & could be fined $5000.
Say one of us has a ranch in N Nevada—or Nebraska—or Kansas—or Wyoming—or whatever. We are running about 6,000 head of cattle-—maybe more.
In the past 20 years, those who think they want to ‘recreate’ on their ATV are loathe to actually ask permission of a rancher to enter ‘that wide open space’ which they refuse to recognize that any one person might own. So our happy ATV riders just CUT THE FENCES -both in & out—...Now-—they go on their merry way & ride all over, but NOW-—there are about 30 yearlings that have found their way out of the fence.
We DO NOT know they are out——until perhaps a neighbor calls 2 or 4 days later & tells us there has been another fence cut. The neighbor helps get the 30 yearlings back into the pasture & helps to mend the fence-——
BUT- I now have 30 violations that the Feds can fine me $5000 EACH for every yearling that got out——and another
$5000 for every yearling that is now back home......
Because I didn’t file a report BEFORE they got out & I do not know where they have been, etc., and I didn’t read the chips on those we got back into the cut fence line.
I honestly think that we all have better things to do.
DO NOT KID YOURSELF-—THIS WAS & IS A TRACKING SYSTEM. PURE & SIMPLE. DOING THIS TO ALL ANIMALS-—EVEN YOUR CHICKENS—ALONG WITH ALL THE PAPERWORK DIDN’T GET VERY FAR. I hope it never does. I won’t do it.
I was born & raised in Wisconsin. Funny that they do NOT ID where this company is.
I am ashamed that anyone in Wisconsin would agree to this kind of crap.
Like you-—I would QUIT.
I have quit in the past, & I have done so in monumental fashion. This QUIT would beat them all. I would not be polite about it for one little minute.
But that’s NOT GPS tracking. Can it be used to bolster already odious government paperwork? Absolutely. But if one of your animals got off the ranch and just wandered off into the woods the RFID would not be able to be used to find it. If somebody found it through old fashioned “why is that cow there” they could aim a RFID reader at it and if they were hooked up to the right DB they could track it back to you. But that’s VASTLY different than GPS tracking. RFID is not capable on a base technical level of becoming horse (or person) OnStar.
