Big Brother is here to stay-VeriChips or RFIDs
(cross posted from Rosee”Rest Stop)
Ever since I ‘discovered’ info about RFIDs I’ve become fascinated and appalled at the potential negative ramifications. On one hand the RFID’s in the manufacturing and retail fields for inventory tracking seems appropriate. RFIDs in the LINK defense, Homeland Security, food LINK and health fields LINKare worrisome. They become even more diabolical in the creditcard, drivers license and personal ID realm.
I’ve discovered that the RFID technology has been around for several years and has been improved and now called the Veri chip.

The VeriChip, the size of a grain of rice can be implanted easily and unsuspectingly. Once implanted a person, animal or thing can be tracked by GPS satellites and portable scanners by anyone or government or organization that is so inclined, for whatever purpose. Once a person has been chipped That person is no longer FREE. That person simply becomes a piece of inventory. Think about this.
The VeriChip has been marketed and purchased by many foreign establishments http://www.idworldonline.com/. This product is being PR’d by a group called WISE Media http://www.wisemedia.it/communications.htm – owned and operated by Scientologists. http://www.wise.org/ Scientology is a Greed-cult with a despicable history. http://www.xenu.net/ http://www.wise.org/en_US/membership/about/pg003.html http://www.wise.org/en_US/membership/about/pg002.html
Back in the 80s I worked for a software company Real World. I recently came upon the below mentioned software company’s website. The owner of this company was my CEO and is a scientologist. I share this link to show the embeddedness of scientology and this is only one example. If you check out some of the other links you’ll find lots more scientology/mainstream connections. He is now doing business with the following:
“About Competence Software LINK

Educational clients include University of Toledo, Penn State, University of Chicago, University of Nevada Las Vegas, National Academy of Finance, etc.”
I am not going to mention names because I have a legal gag order as a result of a lawsuit I had with the original software company.
Because of my past run-in with scientology I am extremely aware of the dangers of mind-control and equate the future of the VeriChip as a very similar intrusion. It will be the ultimate RAPE of multitudes of unsuspecting people. Babies are already being implanted in come ‘testing grounds’ as are the elderly, parolees and some medical patients and/or ‘guinea pigs.’
I know this sounds so Sci-Fi but it is reality of the times. If any of you have been involved in a cult, you know how even one’s Free Will can be snatched. I also have a theory that much of the Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome form those in the military is a result of the ‘brainwashing’ process that they have to go through. When they leave the military some cannot de-assimilate. Much like with the process of hynosis-some people can be hypnotized easily and others cannot. I think the same is possible in brainwashing- some are very susceptible and others, who are aware, can fight it. But the way the majority of our society has been dumbed-down by the media etc., we are primed for ‘snatching.’
If you don’t believe this I highly recommend the book Snapping by Flo Conway and Jim Siegelman.
Snapping Book
So not only will the government and the powers within, but a pseudo religious cult will have dibs on you. Supposedly we will have the ‘choice-to-be-chipped’ at first and under certain situations. This will come under the guise of credit card security, drivers license ID tags and other seemingly ‘safe and practical’ considerations.
Finally, one can take the Privacy Option Check List Test given below. An essential aspect to keep in mind, however, is that in choosing your options, assume that Any and Everyone has access — acquired legally or illegally, via purchase or other means — to any and all of the information that can be gleamed (and/or inferred) from the lack of privacy.
* A device which monitors where your automobile is during selected/all times.
* A device which monitors who is in your house during selected/all times.
* A device which monitors who is in your office during selected/all times.
* Devices monitoring selected/all public places that you frequent.
* Devices monitoring selected/all private places that you frequent.
* A device which monitors selected/all communications you send or receive.
* A device which monitors where you are during selected/all times.
* A device which controls your mood and/or your physical body.
* A device which when triggered remotely can terminate your life.
Please people be aware of this future which is coming. I don’t think we can stop it as the technology is already here and around us. But when you are asked, somewhere down the line, if you are even asked, opt out of getting ‘chipped.’
Can you define RFID for this ignorant slut? 🙂 Seriously. Do.
Radio Frequency Identification tags.
Fabulous book which goes in to the mechanics of personlity destruction as the basis of mind control:
“The Guru Papers” by Joel Kramer and Diana Alstad
Scientologists, Republicans Moonies- all the same. Actually, that’s poor analogizing- they really are the same.
Constant surveilance makes people feel guilty and ashamed (we all fart in private). In order to get rid of that guilt and shame we submit to authority.
Thus constant survailance isn’t just a symptom of authoritarianism, but a cause.
Scientologists are interested in survailance because it primes people to become scientologists.
The sad part to me about scientologists etc., is they are also victims and don’t know it- truly they are marching to someone else’s ‘heartbeat’. When I worked with them they were told to MIRROR our every movement-body language etc., Once I learned about this I would constantly jerk, burp etc., and they’d do the same thing- I’m talking about the CEO etc- it was unbelievable and in hindsight very funny- If I knew then what I know now maybe I could’ve saved some of them.
First as an interrogation technique, then later as a way to manipulate jurors.
It’s a cheap mind control technique, but it does work sometimes on some people- I’ve tried to read Dianetics, but it has all the literary charm of a supermarket romance novel so I never got past page 2 or so.
Is that their drill? They teach people how to take advantage of the neurosis of others as a way of avoiding their own? No wonder they hate psychiatry so, it depopulates their victim pool. Though you gotta wonder about people who feel empowered by abusing the easily exploited. “Greed Cult”- I like that phrase, would Objectivists fit that bill?
Didn’t someone in congress suggest that the proposed national id card should have RFIDs?
yes, I believe that was part of the discussion on the hill, prior to voting, or not
it’s also a part of the new drivers license, that was debated as well.
easy tracking, which they claimed was for ease of validation, ie. non-forgeable
I believe the RFID program was presented to the Homeland Security guy-Ridge- but I’m not sure if the plan has been implemented yet.

Speaking of RFID
Here’s a link to The RFID Journal — it’s a magazine devoted to the RFID industry
Below are links from Privacy.org to the RFID Journal and a link and excerpt from an article on the RFID Journal website.
New Mexico House Committee Kills Privacy Bill
New Mexico Kills RFID Privacy Bill, RFID Journal, March 16, 2005.
From: New Mexico Kills RFID Privacy Bill
In California, the state assembly’s Committee on Business and Professions voted against the bill 8-0, with five abstentions (see California RFID Legislation Rejected), after the bill had passed the state senate. Opponents of the California bill consisted of a coalition of business groups including Hewlett Packard, the American Electronics Association, the California Chamber of Commerce, the California Grocers Association, the California Retailers Association and the Grocery Manufacturers of America. The bill’s sponsor, State Senator Debra Bowen (D-Redondo Beach), vowed to reintroduce the bill.
And a opinion piece printed on March 28, 2005 re: RFID policy. A must read, since these prople are going to be lobbying Congress hard to allow the technology and circumvent State regulation.
RFID Policy May Not Wait
Here’s why RFID users and suppliers need to get involved now in addressing public concerns about the technology.

RFID, Electronic Eavesdropping and the Law
I’m just posting a link to an article that I found at the RFID Journal that discussed the legal challenges associated with RFID. This is an industry journal, not a journal devoted to consumer rights, so it’s going to come from industry’s POV.
Existing laws in the United States could be amended to protect consumer privacy.
By Reuven R. Levary, David Thompson, Kristen Kot and Julie Brothers
Feb. 14, 2005–As radio frequency identification enters the mainstream, consumer advocates are raising concerns about the potential use of the technology for electronic eavesdropping. In Europe, there are strong laws governing the use of data gathered on consumer. In the United States, no such overarching legislation exists. So the question is: What laws currently on the books, if any, in the United States could protect consumers against invasion of privacy using RFID systems? And what are the legal ramifications for companies that use the technology in a retail setting?.

Follow the link, there’s more.
The worst thing about RFID is that the General Public is so sedated that they don’t even know this is coming.
I’ve been a bit torn in my feelings of the OnStar technology in motor vehicles. On the surface, it sounded like a great idea for safety reasons, but after some thought it started to creep me out from a privacy/surveillance perspective.
Exactly, the privacy issue why I will never install OnStar or the like in my car.
SInce we have experts here- this is something I heard at a cocktail party, so I have no idea if it is true:
“Camera Phones have on board hardware and software that can make them in to passive facial recognition scanners. If activated the camera will send a stream of data representing the biometric facial ID of everyone withing range of the camera.”
Closest thing I’ve been able to find is that some newer Japanese phones have the capability to recognize their owners so as to be useless if stolen.
That’s pretty scary-I hadn’t heard that on phones but I do know the technology is there to support such a use.
I’m hesitant to throw this out there. . .but. . .
In reference to the Manchurian Candidate angle, does anyone have insight into the credibility of the Rigorous Intuition site? I ask this because a few weeks back the site ran a series of articles regarding child abduction/pornography rings starting with the Bush I administration through present day, allegedly involving the CIA and senior government officials. The site included a muti-part interview with a woman who claimed to be one of the child abductees – who was subjected to various types of mind control, torture, sexual abuse – and brainwashing to commit murder.
The site host himself expressed trepidation in reporting the matter – considering the tin foil hat factor. Just wondering if anyone has knowledge of the site’s credibility and/or this issue in general.
I thoroughly enjoy the Rigorous Instuition site, visit it daily, and am disappointed on the days when there is not a new posting, but unfortunately I have no insight into the site’s credibility. As for the mind control torture sex rings etc., I have recently read “The Search for the Manchurian Candidate” by John Marks. This book is now decades old but won a number of book awards and is based on actual papers released by the Carter White House and interviews with actual participants in the program. The book covers a period that ends in the 60’s and given what they tested up till that point, all bets are off as to what has happened since.
I was drawn to the site by the compelling, well-crafted stories. That series was so immensely disturbing, I didn’t know what to think. (Although there seemed to be quite a number of credible, documented, cross-references.)
This is good but it’s so damn scary! I had read that the technology was in use and was spreading, very quietly it seems. It was being marketed as a way to protect children from abduction for example, chip them and then you can track them etc. Also I’d read it was being touted as the most convenient way to shop, bank, keep track of inventory and so on. I’ll have to find the interview with one of the people working on it. I do remember the host of the radio show, an NPR show, What the Tech, asking about privacy concerns and basically being told, Trust us. Not a good idea, now or ever.
