Get identified under your skin!There are movies that entertain you, frighten you, and enlighten you.
There are movies that trigger your brain of a possible invention that
might take shape. This happens every time you watch a Science-fiction
movie you wonder, THIS is something that can be explored! There have
been movies in the past that have shown the possibilities of planting a
gadget inside a human to track his/her daily activities. If that idea
has already triggered you of a possible invention, and you are on the
edge of dismissing that as a distant dream, think again! You could be
just on your way to getting yourself identified by surgically
implanting yourself with a rice-grain sized chip under your skin thanks
to a VeriChip.
Now, whats a VeriChip?Applied Digital Solutions Inc, a company
into RFID applications, end-to-end food safety systems, GPS/Satellite
communications, and telecomm and security infrastructure, has come up
with a unique solution called the VeriChip. This chip is a subdermal
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) device that can be used in a
variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other
applications. About the size of a grain of rice, each VeriChip product
contains a unique verification number. When this chip senses one of
Verichip's proprietary scanners, it gets activated and transmits a
unique ID number to the scanner. If the number matches an ID number in
a database, the person with the chip under his or her skin can enter a
secured room, complete a financial transaction, get his medical records
verified, etc. According to Applied Digital, this technology
has been around for a while. Digital Angel, a sister concern of Applied
Digital has been selling these identification chips for about 15 years
now. but most of them have until now been used only for identifying
animals like household pets and livestock. The U.S. Department of
Energy has also been using this technology to monitor salmon migration.
Whats more these chips can last for a whooping 20 years!
Tracking chips for humansApplied Digital says that the idea for
using these chips to identify humans came after the horrifying
incidents of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and
the Pentagon. While watching the post disaster coverage on TV, Richard
Seelig, Vice President of medical applications at Applied Digital, saw
how firemen were writing their badge numbers on their arm with pen so
that they could be identified in the event of a disaster. He then
inserted one of these chips under his skin and tested their viability
and was quite amazed at how perfectly they performed. As of now, about
9,000 VeriChips have been sold, of which about 1,500 have been inserted
into humans. This number will soon increase, since even Federal Drug
Administration (FDA) has cleared VeriChip for medical applications in
the United States. However FDA hasnt yet cleared this device for usage
in security, financial, personal identification and safety
applications. It might not be long when these chips make their way into
other parts of the world. Well, speaking of other parts of
the world, the Mexican Police Department has already chipped all of
their personnel. The Italian Ministry of Health has also started a
six-month trial of these chips for hospitals. The Baja Beach Club in
Spain has also used them as electronic wallets to buy drinks and pay
for usage of other facilities at their club. Most sales of these chips
have taken place outside the US in Russia, Switzerland, Venezuela and
Colombia. How do you get micro chip under your skin?An
authorized medical practitioner or surgeon can implant this
11-millimeter RFID chip in the fatty tissue below your right tricep.
This chipping procedure lasts just a few minutes and involves the use
of only a local anesthetic followed by quick, painless insertion of the
VeriChip. Once its inserted under your skin, not even you can tell
whether you have an RFID chip implanted there. So where does the chip
get its energy? Well, you dont have to worry about that. This chip is
dormant most of the time and wakes up only when you pass your skin over
an external proprietary scanner. When you do this, a small amount of
radio frequency energy passes through the skin energizing the chip. The
chip then emits a radio frequency signal containing the verification
number. This number is then deciphered by the scanner and transmitted
to a secure data storage site accessed by authorized personnel via
telephone or Internet. "It is used instead of other biometric
applications such as fingerprints, says Angela Fulcher, Vice President
Marketing and Sales, VeriChip Corporation. Implanting these chips would
cost about $150 - $200 per person. What more can you do with it?The
VeriChip can be used for many applications than just verifying medical
records. In this fast changing world everything is technology enhanced,
and places that spell technology also invite unethical and illegal
activities such as counterfeiting, identity theft, unauthorized access,
etc. The VeriChip can be used for personal identity verification so the
chip could contain your biometric information and the scanners would
read your chip and grant access to a special area that only you are
supposed to access. Other applications could include but are not
limited to controlling access to Intellectual Property, managing and
tracking physical and intellectual assets, providing physical access to
control solutions, enabling innovative time and attendance systems,
providing automated data collection and monitoring platforms and much
more. The chip with GPS (Global Positioning System) capabilities could
also be implanted into children, so that it becomes easier for the
Police Department to trace them out, in events of kidnapping. VeriChip
could also be used to find lost pets or keep track of endangered
wildlife, as well as find lost or stolen property. It could also be
used as a means for security such as, airport security, authorization
for access to government buildings, laboratories, correctional
facilities and the like. Convicted criminals or possible terrorists
could also be tracked with this technology and prevent future attacks
on time. Is anything wrong with it?While VeriChip
seems to have no adverse side effects to its wearer, there are quite a
few concerns over its usage pattern. One of the biggest disadvantages
is the invasion of privacy of the user. People wouldnt really like
scanners scanning them for personal information wherever they go or
satellites tracking them across the globe. One of the major concerns
could be about third parties gaining information on the Internet
through either hacking or by selling sensitive data to unknown people.
You might use these chips to safeguard your children from kidnappers,
but there are possibilities of these chips being surgically removed and
being disabled by kidnappers. There is also the possibilitiy that
convicted criminals could remove the chips so authorities would be
unable to track them. Most people fear an invasion of privacy as the
greatest fault of implanting microchips. A recent CNN poll said that
about 76% of Americans said they would not want a device like VeriChip
implanted on their children, while 24% suggested they would. While
the amount of securities this chip might offer is overwhelming, at the
same time the device seems weighed down by numerous concerns including
invasion of privacy. Only time will tell whether this invention takes
off or just bites the dust. Tags: world Love US time government Movie Food human

Big Bang says on 2009-01-07 17:24:12 about Verichip
Hey folks, It's a microchip to help you find your child if they should go missing, not Satan in a cloak, come on, you really believe that an imaginary being will care whether you have a tracking device under your skin. the Government in the US fund DARPA which try out extreme research in technology. This is what should be questioned, whether or not computer tech should be allowed to become more intelligent than us which is only 25 years away, or we could go the way of the Dodo. The Government help us, without them we would not be sitting in our rooms typing away. If the Government want to track you or dispose of you it can happen, so live for you and your children and watch them grow and prosper, forget and forgive, and for the reader of this if you are religious, an after life does not belong to religion. We will ALL go to the after life good bad and Hitler, ALL mixed in together so you better be nice to those who look after you now! |

renee says on 2008-11-14 08:03:05 about ver-chip = the mark
im 23 y/r i am the last generation, i am a believer in God our Father. this chip is goinig take place people liking it or not. i and other christians do not have to worry about it unlike the non-believers are going the rapture to be with our Lord . Im sorry to say but you unbelievers who take the "chip" will not be allowed in the kingdom of heaven. it will be to late. Forcing your children who have no say to the matter is so wrong. Pray for protection over your children everyday and night and they will be safe. God and his angels will protect you and them. its in the word. have faith. the "chip" is the end, it may sound good and promising now, but soon it will be a force, there will be no choice. Take it or die, take it or starve. Make the right choice now, and you won't have to worry about hell or starving. God will provide and take you in the rapture. even if u have any doubts about heaven, isn't better to be safe then sorry, cause if you are sorry, well thats sorry for eternity. please pray and ask God for the truth even if your doubtful, he will answer. and read ur Bible! the whole Bible is full of prophecies, your answers are there "in print" God will be your answer for the rest. Give it a try, all you have to lose is time and you better hurry before its too late. alot of love and prayers for guidance and protection for EVERYONE. |

non Christians beware. It may sound like BIBLE BASHING NOW, but in a FEW WORDS, you will be like the JEWS who failed to leave GERMANY when the other WISER JEWS left before THOSE remaining were rounded up in the ghettos. THis time, the target is not just Jews, Its Christians, and anybody and everybody who will not take this Mark of SATANs global empire-The beast-and the World Leader who yu will pledge allegiance to, the Anti Christ. IF you are wise, you will be like Winston Churchill an be a voice crying out to prepare, not like Neville Chamberlain, who was in denial and prefererred the comfortable fantasy that he could appease Hitler to avoid WAR. There are spiritual powers in the universe that science cannot explain, and these entities are ruled by an overlord who The Bible calls the Devil, and if you take this MARK, you will be serving him, like the GErmans served Hitler in Europe. Be warned, if you care for your children, do not damn them to eternal hell because you were too lazy and ignorant to find ot the truth, that ALL IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS, AND INDEED truth is stranger than fiction. There is a war coming, and it will make the previous two world wars look like a skirmish, there is destruction coming on theearth-violent earthquakes, tsunamis, and comets hitting the earth. If you are intelligent enough to belive this science, then you must kow the BIBLE prophesied these 2scientific"things wuld happen in the days before JESUS CHRIST RETURNS to CRUSH HIS ENEMIES(the anti christ-and his false prophet). I suggest all those who love their children and do not want them to suffer, seriously think about reading The Book of Matthew Chapter 24 onwards, Mark 21, 2Thessolonians2 and 4, Revelations 13 and 20. as well as the book of Daniel in the old testament. These books describe in detail historic and scientifically proved prophecies taht prove that The BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD, not written by a bunch of men, but prophets inspired by GOD. IF you fail to seek GOD and HIS SON,then you have already signed yourself and your children to Satan, when this Mark is forced on everybody. And Satan is not Santa, He is the source and apex of all evil in history and the culmination of what is to come in the following years. You have been warned. IF this sounds like a all doom and gloom, then consider this. when the British people were ut of options when the NAZI Luftwaffe (airforce) were sending invasion after invasion, to also send Hitlers NAVAL fleet also to invade, what did the British people do? Churchill called the country to pray fro GOD to deliver them from this evil. And He did. When all the unbelievers scoff and mock Christians, they will turn into believers pretty quick when it all goes down, and they panick from terror and fear, shattering their world view and crushing their perspectives of a godless secular world. Because those that do not repent and believe that JESUS came to save mankind and His WORD, THE BIBLE, will suffer a wake up call, that will haunt them for eternity in thick unfathomable darkness and the fire of hell-there they will contemplate forever while in agonising pain and terror, why they did not believe in The SON OF GOD. and be saved from the antichrist and th devil, and hell.
Better to fear GOD, than to FEAR the devil.
Love and Peace.

 GOD IS DEAD. HE IS NO MORE. HE IS KAPUT.There is no such thing as church law, sharia law or any other religious law. The law of the land, Government law, or International law applies. Religious entities simply do not have the legal power or authority to create or apply laws.
