Chips, Anyone?

There was a time, when we were all reading the Comics and Science Fiction books about the future and many of us were excited by the wonderful gadgets which would make our lives so much easier or at least more fun, i.e. Dick Tracy’s wrist ‘phone. But there were the parts of these fantasies which made many of us frightened by what might be in our future. Most of us put those fears aside, telling ourselves that this could never happen, it was just make believe. The book “1984″ by George Orwell, was scary but way beyond belief. How could a few people watch over all those millions, billions of citizen’s every move and thought? Couldn’t happen, we told ourselves! Or could it?

“Can a microscopic tag be implanted in a person’s body to track his every movement? There’s actual discussion about that. You will rule on that — mark my words — before your tenure is over.” — Sen. Joseph Biden, to Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, Sept. 2005.

On Feb. 12, the Financial Times reported on CityWatcher.com, a Cincinnati-based company implanted RFID (Radio Frequency ID) silicon chips into two of its employees. The company defended the practice, assuring that the procedure was not meant to track employees or infringe on their rights, but anti-RFID activists took exception. “It worries us that a government contractor that specializes in surveillance projects would be the first to publicly incorporate this technology in the workplace,” Liz McIntyre said in a press release, triggering “irate e-mails” to CityWatcher.com’s Web site.
McIntyre, co-author of Spychips: How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID, and Communications Director for Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering (CASPIAN) has been at the fore of a campaign against this new technology, alongside CASPIAN founder and director and Spychips co-author Katherine Albrecht. In a Dec. 2005 interview in Mother Jones, Albrecht underscored deeper concerns, particularly now that former Bush administration official Tommy Thompson serves on the board of Applied Digital, the company that manufactures VeriChip. {Source}

Since Mr. Bush and his Cabal have been in power, the Right to Privacy has been pushed aside. The Right to Assembly has been pushed into Free Speech Zones. The Right to redress our Government has been trampled on. Law abiding Citizens have been arrested for bumper stickers, T-shirts, and being kicked out of or not being allowed in to public events that Mr. Bush is speaking at, just for belonging to the wrong party.

Our cell ‘phones have chips in them which allows us to be tracked. Our new cars have chips which allows us to be tracked. That monthly toll pass you buy, allows us to be tracked. And some of our clothing now has a chip with which they can track us.

#LIBERTY:

1. The condition of being free from restriction or control.
2. The right and power to act, believe, or express oneself in a manner of one’s own choosing.
3. The condition of being physically and legally free from confinement, servitude, or forced labor.
# Freedom from unjust or undue governmental control.
# A right or immunity to engage in certain actions without control or interference: the liberties protected by the Bill of Rights.

I know not what course others may take,
but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death.
~Patrick Henry~ (1736 - 1799),
(Virginia Convention, March 23, 1775)

Next logical step is to implant one directly into our brains.

Chips anyone? No thanks!
