Oh yes! And I suppose the Nazis thought it would be cool to tattoo a number on peoples arms to save them from forgetting their names, did they?

“It’s for your own good Sir, just to save you from getting lost, then we can make sure you get home safely to the right shower block.”

People are so stupid these days, and what about the other 75% of people? Or do they not count because they gave the wrong answer?

Nothing scientific about this. Satan is alive and well, just waiting for his minions to prepare the way.

Funny, Google is warning that people will have to change their real names to escape their past online identity – so why not make ourselves universally identifiable by a chip which will trigger allergies, let strangers trace you and you can’t ever displace it when you want to rest?
As someone mentioned above, cell phones seem like a good enough place to put a chip into to me.

Surely some bad and early April fool!!! What utter nonsense and if anyone believes this will just be used with their permission and for harmless purposes, is dreaming. 20 yrs ago would we have dreamt that there would be CCTV cameras looming triphid like over our streets, google capturing our houses, phone calls monitored and all our mobile communications accessinle? These invasions of privacy crawl into our lives one by one, and most of us weren’t even aware. Terror and protection from it were totally manipulated in the UK, until we have become the most watched nation. Fortunately our new government is staunchly opposed to It. Quite frankly, the amount that google knows about me is already too much!

I work for the State Government in Arizona, and we are already looking at some prototype chips to identify US and State citizens. We believe that marking State Citizens as citizens of our state and the United States will enable us to save billions of dollars by not wasting money on parasites who do not deserve the benefits of our government.

Seems about 1 in 4 commentators would be happy with a chip. So it seems the original research was quite accurate. Imagine just having to make an “OK” finger-and-thumb gesture to transmit identification. Would be cool.

I would only consent to being “chipped” if I had direct control such as if this were in my finger and then I could wear metal gloves to shield the chip. In writing this, I think I would not want to be chipped at all, who wants to wear metal gloves all the time? I agree with an earlier comment, your movements could be tracked, there would be no privacy. Big Brother is here now. I would not want this.

SO BEGINS THE RFID PROPAGANDA WAR.

If a lie is repeated often enough, it is taken as fact.

Beware those who accuse others of being paraniod over this, they are either deluded or part of the propaganda machine.

RFID implants are the thin edge of the wedge and will gain acceptance as they invent some FEAR that compels the lemming populace to adopt it.

FEAR SELLS – watch for it and discern!
The sales job begins.
