“The time has come,” the Walrus said, “to talk of other things.” Cabbages and kings come to mind. The cabbages are the complacent and inert masses of Americans who can’t seem to see the hand writing on the wall. The kings are the legislatures and elected officials who continue to close their eyes and plug their ears to what the constituents of this country think they are consistently voting for: FREEDOM.
The following link touches briefly on debates from both sides of the issue of mandatory implantation of microchips. It also addresses the Biblical aspect; the dire warning in Revelations about the mark of the Beast. Click here: Apocalyptic Talk Stokes Debate Over Microchip Implants for Humans - AOL News
There is a method to all the madness today. It’s called marketing. Within that methodology is a well-used tactic. It’s called desensitization. Hit the masses with a little dose of something most would find offensive. Let ‘em squeak for a bit. Then hit them again a little harder. They squeak less. Repeat the process and the next thing you know? Parents are taking their children to R- rated movies that even a decade ago were considered pornographic.
Another example: Twenty years ago public schools launched a campaign that parents have their children’s fingerprints on file in the event of abduction. I don’t know of any kidnapping cases where the child’s fingerprints had anything to do with their rescue or the solving of the crime. But, the majority of parents went along, and their offspring are now numbers in a government data base. From fingerprints to microchips. In small doses, of course.
The new driver’s licenses issued in Nevada have interesting barcodes imbedded in them. Welcome to Real ID. Click here: FAQ: How will Real ID affect you? - CNET News Particularly disturbing is:
Q: Does "common machine-readable technology" mean RFID?
Not at this point. Homeland Security has said it is not requiring that states use RFID chips, or radio frequency ID chips, in Real ID licenses. Instead, what's required is a two-dimensional barcode called PDF417. Many states already print this or a similar barcode on their driver's licenses.
Q: Who's going to have trouble flying or entering federal buildings starting May 11?
Residents of the five states--Maine, South Carolina, Montana, Oklahoma, and New Hampshire--that have firmly rejected Real ID. Fifteen states and the District of Columbia have not decided yet, meaning they could fall into this category too.
Back to the microchip. I haven’t had any of my dogs chipped. I have been witness to the efficacy of it with restoring lost pets to their owners. I also was made aware that the chip can cause cancer; 10% is a high figure. Subcutaneous sarcoma is a particularly malignant cancer. I know because my beloved Standard Poodle, Noelle, developed a small tumor over her eye two years ago.
Short of removing her eye and half of her face, her prognosis was three months. She wanted to keep her eye. We wanted to keep her alive. And we did for an entire year with European cancer protocols for humans. Protocols that are banned in the United States. (Another story altogether.)
Cancer (Wikipedia) Veterinary and toxicology studies carried out from 1996 to 2006 found that lab mice and rats injected with microchips sometimes developed cancerous tumors around the microchips (subcutaneous sarcomas). Data suggest that between 1% and 10% of the implanted lab animals developed malignant cancers originating in the tissue surrounding the microchips.
In summation, it’s scary that a debate is even raging over the mandatory implantation of ANYTHING FOREIGN in our bodies. The body’s immune system is geared to defend itself against foreign invaders. Transplanting human tissue to human tissue leaves the recipient dependent on anti-rejection medication.
How this microchip idea got so far that it’s become a legislative issue should concern us all. Apparently, some cabbages are squeaking. Maybe it will take just one more “terrorist” attack on our soil to silence their noise. Hail Homeland Security. I have no doubt in some lab somewhere; a team has already developed an “organic chip.” Round Two is right around the corner.

Damnet!
In the meantime, apparently, renewal of the PATRIOT act, has been slipped onto the 124th page of the 80 billion dollar "jobs bill." So says our intrepid reporter BBE and I believe him/her.
Revolution looms if this crap keeps up.
Trig- I can just SEE your neck glowing. God BLESS people like you--the backbone of this country.
Diary Of a FD: mandatory chips for dogs? That's scary and another step in the process. From animal to human.
Madam R: your partner has a good sense of humor....
