PROPHETIC SIGNS THAT WE ARE IN THE END TIMES [A good summary of SOME key evidences--QX]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Bible gives many examples of signs that should warn us of the coming end of the age. Six such signs are given by Jesus, two characteristics are given by Paul, and eleven other occurrences are given by the prophets to occur prior to or soon after the end of the age. While we are also told we will not know the time of the End, God obviously wanted us to know when that time was getting closer. As the Christian church is increasingly drawn into the interfaith movement, and as more and more churches go into isolation, preparing to sleep through the growing attacks on their faith, perhaps God knew it would take a few signs to wake us up and remind us that we have work to do.

Unfortunately, many Christians take the verses that tell us we won't know the time of His coming to mean they should ignore any and all scripture that might warn us of this time of tribulation. Others have fallen into the trap of fearing being labeled a "conspiracy theorist" should they display an interest in the Biblical prophecies about our future on Earth. My philosophy is simple. God included it in the Bible and, since God is all knowing, we should trust that it is something we should know and study along with the rest of His Word.

It is increasingly obvious that the time of our Lord's coming is drawing near. Prophecy is being fulfilled daily, and at a faster pace than ever before. Whether you believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, or believe Christians will be witness to the full tribulation, wrath, and final judgments, matters not. The beginning of birth pains and the signs of the times should have the same effect on all of us. It should motivate us to save as many souls as we can in the time that we have left. The Great Commission tells us to be disciples to all nations, bringing the message of salvation through Christ to all people. If the Church is raptured before the tribulation, it is important that we leave behind an explanation for the trials and judgments those left behind will face. How else will they recognize the deception of the anti-Christ and seek instead the truth of the Bible? If we are to endure the tribulation along side them, we will need to be prepared to not only share the message of salvation, but share with them the reasons for God's judgment and hold it up as further proof of their need to be saved.

Below is a study of the prophetic signs God gave us as a warning of the approaching end of the age. Many of them are being fulfilled now and many will be fulfilled in the near future. I would encourage you to study prophecy, know what is coming and be prepared to share it with others.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Matthew24:3 Jesus was asked, "Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming, and of the end of the age?" Jesus told his apostles to look for the following signs prior to his second coming and the end of the age.

Matthew 24:5 "For many will come in my name, saying, I am Christ, and will mislead many."

In the last several years many have claimed to be the Messiah. Jim Jones and David Koresh are examples of these false christs as well as countless others who are not as newsworthy. These false prophets are a prelude to the ultimate false christ, the antichrist. Many New Age groups, some even NGO's working for the United Nations, are anxiously awaiting the antichrist, preparing the way for his acceptance as the head of the hierarchy of gods and the one who will usher in world peace.

Matthew 24:6 "And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end."

Rumors of wars in all areas of the world now occur frequently thanks to instant media coverage and the availability of a multitude of 24-hour news sources.

Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes."

More people have been killed in warfare in this century than at any other time in history. As the death toll rises in the Middle East, more and more countries work feverishly to develop devastating weapons of mass destruction. Add to that the expanding threat of terrorism and unpredictable dictators such as Saddam Hussein, and the potential for the outbreak of war exists in nations, kingdoms and places across the globe.

Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes."

As white, Christian farmers are driven out of Africa in increasing numbers, and foreigners move in to replace life-sustaining crops with poppies that now supply 25% of the worlds drugs, famine spreads across the African continent. The undernourished are not limited to Africa, however. A large portion of the worlds 5 billion people suffers from a shortage of food.

Matthew 24:7 "For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes."

The number and intensity of earthquakes this century is at a level higher than any other time in history. A staggering number of seismic events occur around the world daily. The earthquake seismic monitor IRIS shows all major earthquakes for the last year. Indicated by yellow and red circles, the seismic events of the last 15 days provides strong evidence of the fulfillment of Matthew 24:7 in our day. By contrast, in the years from 1890 to 1900 there was only one major earthquake in the world.

Matthew 24:8-9 "But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs. Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations on account of my name."

Christians are under attack throughout the world today. In the United States Christians still enjoy freedom to worship God without suffering much more than ridicule, hatred, or discrimination at work and school. However in many other countries such as China, Sudan, Africa, Saudi Arabia, Korea, Russia, and many Muslim nations, Christian suffer much greater persecution and often times death for their faith. During the tribulation this suffering will be worldwide and will continue even to the point of martyrdom. These first 5 signs will increase in intensity and severity as the tribulation approaches, much like the birth pangs or contractions of a pregnant woman worsen as the delivery time approaches.

Matthew 24:14 "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a witness to all the nations, and then the end shall come."

This prophecy has already been fulfilled through television, radio, missionaries, the translation of the Bible into many languages, and the internet. People all over the world now hear the message of Christ from missionaries who have the means to travel the globe, and via technology that allows us to communicate with people on the other side of the world right from our own homes, churches and offices.

II Timothy 3:1-5,7 "But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god; holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."

For anyone who has watched television, read a newspaper, lost a retirement to corporate greed and corruption, or just walked outside their front door, it is obvious this prophecy has been fulfilled by our generation. Our leaders are often corrupt; our cities are filled with crime, brutality, and neon signs proclaiming our sinful, godless nature. The New Age Movement brings in increasing numbers of mystics who claim to be the enlightened ones. They are some of the most educated and influential people in our societies, and yet the most lacking in real truth.

I Timothy 4:1-3 "But the spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. By means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron, men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth."

Churches today are becoming more and more ecumenical, embracing the New Age interfaith agenda, and denying Christ as the only way to salvation. Giving in to the politically correct media and a corrupt society, they have embrace homosexuality as an acceptable alternate lifestyle and preach tolerance and compromise in place of God's truth for the salvation of the world. The environmentalist movement within the New Age movement lures them into a worship of mother earth, belief in past lives, reincarnation, and Karma while demonizing all those who would eat the meat God gave us as nourishment for our bodies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revelation 9:16 "And the number of the armies of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them."

An army of that size had never existed until China's army reached that number in the 1960's.

Daniel 2:32-33 "The head of the statue was made of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay."

Daniel 2:40-43 "Then there will be a fourth kingdom as strong as iron; inasmuch as iron crushes and shatters all things, so like iron that breaks in pieces, it will crush and break all these in pieces. And in that you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, it will be a divided kingdom; but it will have the toughness of iron, and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle. And in that you saw the iron mixed with clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery."

The fourth kingdom of iron is the Roman empire according to Daniel's interpretation of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream. The two legs are the division of the Roman empire into an eastern portion called the Byzantine empire which ended in the 1400's and a western portion based in Rome which ended in the 400's. The nations of Europe since the Roman empire dissolved have never adhered or formed one empire but continue as separate nations, however, the European Union now has 15 Member States and is preparing for the accession of 13 eastern and southern European countries.

Zephaniah 3:9 "For then I will return to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent."

Prior to the restoration of Israel in 1948, Hebrew was a dead language. Now Hebrew is spoken throughout Israel.

4. REBUILDING OF THE TEMPLE, RESTORATION OF TEMPLE WORSHIP AND ANIMAL SACRIFICES IN JERUSALEM

For several end time prophecies to be fulfilled, the temple will have to be rebuilt.

Revelation 11:2 "Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the oly city for forty-two months."

Daniel 9:27 "And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolation, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

Daniel 9:26 "Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary."

Some archeologists believe that the temple mount is actually 340 feet south of the Dome of the Rock site, putting the Dome of the Rock within the Court of the Gentiles. This may be the court outside the temple that is left out.

There are many groups already working on preparations for the new temple. The blueprints are already done, the temple garments have been made, and there have already been attempts to lay the cornerstone of the temple. The only thing standing in the way of the construction of the new temple is Islam's third holiest site, the Dome of the Rock and government support for such an undertaking. Some possible scenarios for the rebuilding of the temple are as follows:

1. The persuasion and performing of miracles by the Antichrist and False Prophet convinces the Islamic world to approve the rebuilding.

2. The United Nations will negotiate the rebuilding of the temple following a war with the armies from the North (Russia and Islamic forces). This assumes that the war with the armies from the North is not the battle of Armageddon as some feel and that this attack occurs before the rapture or tribulation period begins. The supernatural destruction of the Russian army and Islamic forces will cause an outpouring of Christian worship and zeal amongst the Jewish people who will reconstruct the temple.

3. It is determined that the site of the first two temples is actually south of the Dome of the Rock, and the court of the gentiles (Dome of the Rock) will be left out of the 3rd temple.

A group in Israel called the Temple Mount Faithful have obtained most of the clothing, instruments and other equipment required for temple worship and are actively preparing for the laying of the third temple's cornerstone.

Numbers 19:2-7 "This is the statute of the law which the Lord has commanded, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring you an unblemished red heifer in which is no defect and on which a yoke has never been placed. "You shall give it to Eleazar the priest, and it shall be brought outside the camp and be slaughtered in his presence. Next Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger and sprinkle some of its blood toward the front of the tent of meeting seven times. "Then the heifer shall be burned in his sight; its hide and its flesh and its blood, with its refuse, shall be burned. "The priest shall then wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward come into the camp, but the priest shall be unclean until evening."

A red heifer will be required to be used in the process of purification described in the book of Numbers. In May 1997 the first Red Heifer was born in 2000 years. Another red Heifer was born in Israel in March of 2002.

Daniel 12:4 "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase."

Billy Graham was quoted as saying, "ninety percent of all the engineers and scientists who have ever lived are alive today." Air travel, space travel, DNA research and human cloning are all examples of the rapid increase in knowledge in our generation.

Zephaniah 3:10-11 "From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia My worshipers, My dispersed ones, will bring My offerings. In that day you will feel no shame because of all your deeds by which you have rebelled against Me; For then I will remove from your midst your proud, exulting ones, and you will never again be haughty on My holy mountain."

In 1984, Operation Moses saw the airlift of 15,000 Jews who had already fled to refugee camps in Sudan to escape starvation. In 1991, Operation Solomon flew 20,000 Jews to Israel from Ethiopia itself. A further airlift began in June of 1999, aimed at transporting the last 3,000 members of the Quara Jewish community from northeastern Ethiopia to Israel.

Ezekiel 38:2,4,8 "Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him. I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords. After many days you will be summoned; in the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel which had been a continual waste; but its people were brought out from the nations, and they are living securely, all of them."

In order for some end time events to occur Russia will have to be a strong nation with a strong military.

Jeremiah 23:7-8 "Therefore behold, the days are coming declares the Lord, when they will no longer say, as the Lord lives, who brought up the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, but as the Lord lives, who brought up and led back the descendants of the household of Israel from the north land and from all the countries where I have driven them. Then they will live on their own soil."

In the 1970's and 1980's there was a mass exodus of Russian Jews out of Communist Russia. In 1999 the Associated Press reported a dramatic increase in the number of Jewish immigrants from Russia, bringing the largest number of Russian Jews to Israel since the early 1990's.

Revelation 13:16-17 "And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead, and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name."

On May 10, three members of a family in Florida became the first people to receive the biochip implant. Each device, made of silicon and called a VeriChip, is a small radio transmitter about the size of a piece of rice that is injected under a person's skin. It transmits a unique personal ID number whenever it is within a few feet of a special receiver unit. VeriChip's maker describes it as "a miniaturized, implantable, radio frequency identification device (RFID) that can be used in a variety of security, emergency and healthcare applications."

Is the biochip the mark of the beast to be used by the antichrist? We can't really know. What is significant is that people are being softened to the idea of a mark or an implant as a means of maintaining security, providing medical information, and regulating a more interdependent world. As attitudes change, fears subside, and people are convinced of the need for such a mark, the true mark of the beast will be easily introduced to the world by the antichrist.

The United Nations, World Trade Organization, International Criminal Court, UN peacekeeping/police force, numerous UN NGO's, and other agencies are preliminary steps to the formation of a one world government. We now have the communications technology, transportation, and the pro-globalization media necessary to usher in the one world government headed by the antichrist. The increasing terrorist threat and the middle east conflict will only speed up the formation of this governing body as fear and promises of better security make more people willing to give up their national sovereignty for global governance.

Revelation 11:3, 7-10 "And I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophecy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them. And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which mystically is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. Those from the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will look at their dead bodies for three and a half days, and will not permit their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth."

Television and the 24-hour news networks make it possible for people around the world to see the dead prophets and rejoice at their deaths.

Luke 21:28 "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

Luke 21:32 "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place."

DEAR ONES,

It boggles my mind that folks can read the Scriptures about such things and still believe that we are NOT in the Biblical End times. The frog being heated slowly in the kettle of water is happening with the SLAG [SLave tAG] computer ID chip implant but at increasing speed.

We were told initially that it would always be only VOLUNTARY. Now, ALREADY, we see, that is NOT true. The global government is waiting in the wings, itching to force it on every citizen on the planet. Satanic CONTROL and destruction is the goal.

God and walking closely to Him is the only security.

Sub-Dermal Tracking Chips to be Implanted in Homeless People from Pennsylvania to New York, from San Francisco to Bethlehem and Washington DC
UPI reports that, "Participating states will receive grants of $14 million to $58 million from the federal Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program. A second phase of the project, scheduled to be completed in early 2005, will wirelessly transmit live information on the locations of homeless people to handheld computers running the operating system."

WIRING OUR HOMELESS

Logan's Run 2004

Mandatory sub-dermal tracking systems to be implanted in New York, San Francisco, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and Washington DC's Homeless Populations.

By Laura Dawn Lewis

In the movie Logan's Run, all citizens are implanted with a tracking device, which follows their movements once activated. On the day of each person's thirtieth birthday, the tracking devices go off. Any citizen who fails to participate in Carousel, state sanctioned murder packaged as soul renewal and rebirth, is hunted down via this implant and killed by the Sandmen, the state's killing enforcement squad.

Though the Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags set to be tested and surgically implanted below the skin by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in the homeless populations of New York, San Francisco, Washington DC and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania are not being used to insure killing as those in Logan's Run, they do turn the most vulnerable people in America into cattle, tagged and monitored like animals. Mandatory, compulsory and not a choice, the RFID tags are miniature radio transmitters the size of a matchstick inserted under the skin that enable police and government social programs to track and document the movements of homeless people electronically.

Positioned as "A rare opportunity to use advanced technology to meet society's dual objectives of better serving our homeless population while making our cities safer," by HRSA Administrator Betty James Duke, some may consider this government newspeak designed to quell the general population investigation into the fact that this is a clear violation of our Fourth Amendment right to be secure in our person. It brings up issues in the Fifth Amendment by depriving the homeless of the only thing they have, freedom and liberty. It allows the government to use private property, the body of each homeless person, for public use.

Implanting RFID's would not be an issue if the homeless chose to have this implant, freely without the sacrifice of services, agreeing to all restrictions, including the ability to be monitored and were paid or compensated for participation. Then it is a person's choice. It is a completely different issue when it is required or if a person of diminished capacity accepts it without understanding what he or she is doing. When this is the case, a person is used. The current presentation of this program shows it to be mandatory rather than choice.

How does one argue that the compulsory implanting of a radio chip under a person's skin is just? Sold to the American public as a necessary tool of public good, one cannot help but reflect on the common saying, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." Abject poverty becomes a societal sin, giving license to the government to monitor your every move. Poverty becomes the sole justification for electronic imprisonment. This is a deprivation of liberty. Making a person a monitored animal entrusts the government with full authority to use any information collected for research purposes or to round up and channel American citizens and non-citizens alike. The homeless RFID program is set to go into effect in five American cities now and possibly nationwide over the next several years.

WHAT EXACTLY ARE RFID'S?

United Press International reported April 3, 2004 that, "Participating states will receive grants of $14 million to $58 million from the federal Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program, which was created under the McKinney Act to fund support services for the homeless. A second phase of the project, scheduled to be completed in early 2005, will wirelessly transmit live information on the locations of homeless people to handheld computers running the Windows CE operating system."

RFID's are currently used in commerce to track purchases, inventory and in some cases consumer behavior by transmitting information via a radio signal that can be picked up by any person with a receiver tuned to that frequency. Ford Motor Company implants RFID's in all tires since 2001 to quickly identify the tires during service. Selected toll roads in Canada use RFID's and Shell Oil implements them in their EasyPass® system. Future applications being implemented include United Kingdom's Marks & Spencer's department store's tagging of RFID's onto their clothing.

The European Central Bank is working to develop a hair-thin transmitter that can be imbedded in all Euros by 2005 to prevent, the agencies implementing the transmitters in the European currency state, laundering, black market transactions and bribery. In Tokyo, RFID's are being tested to monitor in-store reading habits at bookstores and newsstands, supposedly for market research. And the Western Beef Development Center in Canada implanted 292 calves to track the animals from growth through slaughter.

Like the cattle in Canada, the HRSA proposes implanting RFID's in homeless people to better track them, for his or her own good of course. The general reaction of most Americans in this age of transparent civil liberties coagulate around the idea that if this makes us "safer" the infringement remains just.

TARGET SOCIETY'S WEAKEST FIRST:

In Nazi Germany, Hitler first went after society's most vulnerable, the mentally ill, homosexuals and handicap. The mentally ill, loose in society often caused problems and can be a danger to others and themselves through no fault of their own. To his "Great society", they were as much of an embarrassment as an inconvenience. Convincing the German people their safety would be greatly enhanced if these problem people were removed from society, his policies of containment and execution began. Soon Catholics, gypsies, communists, Poles and Jews would find themselves targets.

How he soothed the German society into compliance illustrates classic conditioning. Hitler tested the waters on policies, acclimating the population slowly toward acceptance, beginning with the smallest, least able to defend itself portions of society, the mentally ill. Ironically, the majority of America's homeless suffer from mental illness, handicaps or addiction. Far more concerning is the fact that thirty-six percent of homeless people are families with children under the age of eighteen.

Reading through the escalation of persecution in Nazi Germany, correlations with the United States since September 11th are evident. Fear consistently used as the reason for all policies blinds Americans as we lay down our freedoms for the perceived safety of our government guardian. From this blind trust, the Patriot Act, CAPPS II, HR 3077 and the latest craziness once thought unthinkable, The Republican National Committee's pressure on the Federal Election Commission ("FEC"). The Republican National Committee is calling for new rules to financially punish non-profit organizations that dare to communicate with the public critically of President Bush or members of Congress. Also unthinkable, now we want to brand people electronically.

Prior to September 11th, this idea would be unconscionable. It's time we stopped using September 11th as an excuse for everything. Each of us has a greater chance of being hit by lightning than killed by a terrorist. Nearly 100,000 Americans died last year from prescription mix-ups, over 400,000 from tobacco related illness. Contrast that with the total number of civilian casualties by terrorists in the United States from January 1, 2002 through today: Zero.

FOR OUR SAFETY AS A NATION?

Hitler tattooed those he wished to track. Rather than use sub-dermal ink, America uses sub-dermal electronics to categorize, tag and track our homeless, against their will, rationalizing for their protection and society's protection. Who will be the next group requiring monitoring? Will we implant RFID's into convicted shoplifters who have served their time so that security can monitor them when they enter a store?

What about deadbeat dads and moms who fail to pay child support? Shouldn't they too be monitored? Their lack of payment places children at risk and creates situations that may cause children to become criminals Consider it a pre-emptive strike against possible future activity. While we're at it, under the guise of protection from abduction or getting lost, shouldn't an RFID be inserted under every newborn's skin? Doesn't that make you feel safer?

What about people collecting social security, unemployment or welfare? Shouldn't they be monitored to make sure they do not abuse the programs our tax dollars pay for? What about the criminal who is released? Sure they've done their time, but society is safer if the police and parole officer always know where they are. Don't forget every person with a DUI, (Driving Under the Influence). Think of how many lives could be saved if every person convicted of a DUI was tracked by the local police!

Then we have our War on Terror. All of the Arabs in this country, Christian or Muslim could at some point become rebellious to the way we treat them and ridicule their culture, faiths and traditions. We brand all as potential terrorists with our self-righteous callousness, therefore for the safety of Americans shouldn't all Arabs be tagged to prevent terrorism? While were at it, why not implant and tag every Hispanic American so we can easily identify who is here illegally? Or every African American who grows up in the hood since statistics show many end up dead or in jails?

CONCLUSION

It starts with the homeless, where does it end? In the movie Logan's Run, freedom prevails. Two people escape the monitoring systems and in turn free the entire society, finding themselves in an ancient ruin of Washington DC. Logan's Run takes place in the USA, the ultimate irony. This movie is supposed to be science fiction, not a prelude to reality.

Where does it end, America? Eventually each and every one of us will fall under some category that must be monitored for our own or society's protection whether due to circumstance of life, such as unemployment, illness, old age or bad choices. Is this freedom? Is this what we fight for? If we allow our government to exploit the most vulnerable, the homeless and mentally ill in our society as implanting tracking systems within a person's skin does, it is only a matter of time before they find an excuse to implant us all.

Epilogue

An interesting footnote to all this, now that this story is leaking ever so slowly, DHHS representatives amended their statements to press this will be voluntary. Nobody will go on the record. Statements are taken under anonymity and "off the record". We've been unable to confirm either way.

But here is something to think about. If it is voluntary, why implant the transmitter under the skin? Wouldn't it be more voluntary if the homeless who choose to be monitored have a bracelet that can be removed when he decides he no longer cares to participate? It certainly would cost less. And if it is voluntary, who's representing the homeless to make sure each understands what he is agreeing to? If one chooses not to participate, what do they forgo? These questions as of yet do not have answers. Perhaps in time they will.

In the mean time, many in the government are pushing for a national database that cannot be altered. Don't be surprised if one day in order to get a drivers license, a job, (see article on Mexico below), social security card or even gain admittance to a hospital, subdermal identification is required. It will be sold as "good for you," but anything that allows the government to track you, monitor you or obtain information about you isn't good for you. It is good for them. And is this really what we call freedom?

Chip Implanted in Mexico Judicial Workers

Jul 14, 2004 5:30 PM (ET)

By WILL WEISSERT

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Security has reached the subcutaneous level for Mexico's attorney general and at least 160 people in his office - they have been implanted with microchips that get them access to secure areas of their headquarters.

It's a pioneering application of a technology that is widely used in animals but not in humans.

Mexico's top federal prosecutors and investigators began receiving chip implants in their arms in November in order to get access to restricted areas inside the attorney general's headquarters, said Antonio Aceves, general director of Solusat, the company that distributes the microchips in Mexico.

Attorney General Rafael Macedo de la Concha and 160 of his employees were implanted at a cost to taxpayers of $150 for each rice grain-sized chip. FULL STORY
