Someone recently accused us, anti-NAIS folks, of making up stuff. They said that nobody is proposing chipping children….
Here is a press release direct from Digital Angel, the makers and promoters of chipping pets, livestock and children:
The Company recently announced a substantial reduction in the size of its Digital Angel emergency location device, which can include an ambient temperature monitor and boundary alert functions. Roughly the size of a matchbook, the Company believes the forthcoming device will have a variety of advantages in meeting the emerging location and monitoring needs of pets and people, including at-risk seniors and children.
-Digital Angle Press Release
Them’s just the facts, mam. You see, it isn’t necessary to make this sort of thing up since the Gov-Corp is already doing it for real. For adults they also have REAL ID which will soon be in your wallet if they have their way. I wouldn’t be surprised if in a year or two they’ll have the tag down from matchbook sized to the size of an earring, er, I mean ear tag… For your sheep and cattle of course… All part of the national herd of consumers and tax payers. Right…
NOTE: Brittan Elementary School has since pulled out of its agreement with the RFID program.

Parents Protest School Mandate That Students Wear Radio ID Tags
SUTTER, Calif. (AP) - The only grade school in this rural town is requiring students to wear radio frequency identification badges that can track their every move. Some parents are outraged, fearing it will rob their children of privacy. The badges introduced at Brittan Elementary School on Jan. 18 rely on the same radio frequency and scanner technology that companies use to track livestock and product inventory.

But since, RFID was protested at the School door….let’s find the backdoor through the buses.
Surveillance systems for out-of-control school buses
5 Sep 2006
With a number of scares and near-disasters on school buses in the US in recent months, some school districts are starting to use technology to avoid - or at least quickly deal with - such situations, according to National Scientific Corporation, which provides surveillance systems utilising digital video, Wi-Fi, GPS-based satellite tracking, cellular and RFID technologies. The Travado IBUS Digital Video Recorder and Rider Authentication System uses tamper-proof cameras mounted inside buses to send real-time digital video, via Wi-Fi or cellular transmission, to school district PCs; GPS pinpoints bus locations in real time; students are automatically logged by time and location as they enter and exit the bus identification is established with any of a number of proven technologies, including thumbprint ID at the bus door, or the use of an RFID card (embedded with a chip that signals the individual student’s ID to an onboard sensor) which students attach to their clothing or backpacks. The system also sends brake and oil status, bus speeds and other data back to supervisors. A panic button allows the driver to signal an emergency and flag the incident on the digital recording.

Trendy wrist bands with RFID
link
Excerpt:
PDC Visa Band® wristbands are printed with slogans for a fun and positive way to complement schools’ Red Ribbon Week programs. Students wear the wristbands as a positive reminder of their pledge to be drug-free.
PDC offers several styles of red wristbands for Red Ribbon Week along with new stock logo designs for 2006, including “I Like Me Drug Free,” “100% Drug Free,” and “Too Smart to Start.” The wristbands are adjustable to fit all ages.
Visa Bands are durable and waterproof and can be worn for the entire week’s observance. Vinyl VIP® wristbands are also available with optional reusable metal snap closures which allow students to wear and remove wristbands as needed.
Custom printing is offered to allow schools to print their name or logo on the wristbands to promote student pride and school spirit. Schools can also print a custom message to fit their individual Red Ribbon Week theme. With a cost of only nine to fifteen cents per wristband, PDC’s Red Ribbon Week wristbands are an inexpensive alternative to silicone style wristbands which cost three to five times more.

I love the term “emerging needs”–emerging from where? Once, when we lived in the city for a few months, did we consider some sort of alarm device for our not-used-to-the-city child, if she wandered out of the yard an alarm would go off. What a useless piece of manure. As 20-something parents back then we learned that plain old paying attention to your tot was the best method of knowing where they are and where they’re going.
So just what is the justification for having to track your child? Too many creeps around? Too many hours spent at work? Not really? Just wait until you have to work an extra 4 hours a day to pay for the service to make sure the little snipe is being nannied by a data center. This just seems like another loop in the cycle of work more to have more–more stuff, that is, they tell us we need. . . .

NOW, this post is beginning to sound more like the “mark of the beast”. That can go 2 different ways here. We get the same marking that our livestock get for one or the mark of Satan.
Comment Suzy Minck — September 5, 2006 @ 9:08 am
Ah, the sweet aroma of new technology. Every animal {or every child, every senior} wearing a tracking device receives regular doses of microwave radiation targeted at them for locating.
Cumulative radiation “they” say is harmless, dental technicians assures us is “harmless”, X-ray technicians at the hospital assures us are harmless, airport screeners assures us is harmless, police radar carries assurances it is harmless.
Anybody besides me watch birds staggering around in a parking lot like it’s drunk? Suzy is right, the “mark of the beast” is killing us one chip, one microwave at a time.
It isn’t harmless when they bathtub you with it.

Attempt to chip my chickens will provoke a rather nasty response.
Attempt to chip my child and you will see first hand why a mother protecting it’s young is the most dangerous thing in the world.
I do know the high school ID’s have a magnetic strip and a barcode. It may hit the microwave when she gets it just because.
My daughter had some cheap rubber braclets she wanted the other day at Walmart. Noticed a little foil label not much bigger than a nickel on the packaging. It said security device in tiny letters. I peeled the label off and put it in my pocket, paid for the bracelets. Passed through the security system at the door without an alarm. Figured it was some kind of RFID chip but not an anti-theft one. Put the foil label in the feeder where the crows eat. It’s gone. Tracking Crow and eating crow the same??
Comment Sue F — September 5, 2006 @ 3:03 pm
Take, for instance, when a pregnant woman is standing in line at the supermarket. At any time in that market she will walk past a few people USING A CELL PHONE.
It’s like cigarettes to her newborn child. By “like cigarettes” I mean cell phones are the new cigarettes. People get defensive if you ask them not to use it. They walk past hospital signs into hospital hallways yakking on the cell phone becuse IT’S THEIR CELL PHONE.
At some point all this wild radiation will begin combining into harmful radiation waves. What saves us adults is out thick skull, but a pre-birth baby does not have that.
It is the adult’s responsibility to protect children, all children. ARE WE? NO. The Internet just this summer was increased from Internet Protocol 4 which had a limitation, up to Internet Protocol 6. The 4 and 6 are not straight numbers. The “2 jump” is into exponential land and the Internet {microwaves} was expanded from a set limit to virtually limitless bandwidth.
We’ll begin seeing the results of our Internet gluttony in about 10-12 years, soon as the children hit puberty will be my guess.

Tell me again, what country is it that we live in? The United States of Halliburton? Monsanto? And, it looks like Orwell only missed 1984 (the book/movie) by about 22 years. Of course, I also wonder when they will issue Brown Shirts to go along with their Hitlerian methods… Only today, they need not demand, “Show me your papers” because we will all be wearing RFID ear tags (with serial number prefix of 666?). When is the next mission to Mars and can I volunteer?

“….With a number of scares and near-disasters on school buses in the US in recent months…..”
Huh? Yes, there have been some fatal bus accidents, but, nothing that I see as an overwhelming number.
This safety movement that some seem to be on is so out of control, it has gotten totally ridiculous and would be laughable if it were not such a serious issue.
As long as you have school buses using public roads, there will be a CHANCE of an accident. I don’t see all the scares or near disasters they are talking about.
And unless you keep people in general boxed up in a totally empty room, nude, with padded walls, and no windows, someone, somewhere, will, unfortunatly, be hurt or killed every hour of the day or night. No chip or tracking device will stop that.
What other scares are they going to conjure up to make the sheeple think they need to be chipped and/or tracked.

You are absolutely right, Kim. The “safety movement” has taken over much of this country.

I’m not trying to get religious on here but I think this scripture says so much. Notice the chapter and verse numbers. Ecc 9:11 says “I returned to see under that sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all.
No matter who we are or where we come from will protect us from accidents. I and my children WILL NOT have any kind of chip, or card so someone can see where I am at any given time in my life, it is just that, MY life.

Hello,
I’m a pro-life (living is where it’s at) candidate in Washington State running for U.S. Representative (2nd Congressional district).
After recieving a phone call, last evening, I decided to visit your web site.
I must tell you that everything normal in this world, including your site seems to imply some kind of an insane conspiracy message. The chips are on the way to get under our skin. The reality is that our world is becoming terribly insane so that anything normal seems obscure.
Thank you for your support in trying to bring awareness to the issue and attempting to fend off the government intrusion for as long as possible. I assure you that I work against this “big-brother” tactic if elected. If not elected I will certainly do my best to resist and desist.
This is OUR country and we need to take it back, first down to the state level and then to the more local level so that we can live like free Americans, not Nazis, slaves and drug addicts. This government must come back into the hands of the people. Waking the people must be top priority. Thank you for the alarm. I Hope your endeavor brings success.

VeriChip Files IPO
Excerpt:
VeriChip Corp., a subsidiary of Applied Digital Solutions Inc., known for its radio frequency identification technology, said Friday it has filed for an initial public offering (IPO)of shares of its common stock.
The Delray Beach, Fla., company has been the topic of controversy from privacy advocates for its human implantable RFID chips. In 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave VeriChip the green light for the country’s first implantable RFIDchip in humans.

RFID Chips Implanted In Mexican Law-Enforcement Workers
While tens of thousands of tiny radio-frequency identification devices have been implanted in animals for years, there were suspicions that one day they would have use in humans, too.
(snip)
“We’ve sold about 7,000 [chips] worldwide,” Angela Fulcher, VeriChip’s VP of marketing and communications, said in an interview Thursday. “We think about 1,000 have been implanted in humans.” Many final destinations of the chips aren’t known, she said, simply because they are marketed through distributors, and VeriChip doesn’t always know where they end up.
(snip)
Another application noted by Fulcher has similar security overtones: to use the chips as a secondary means of identification for credit-card users. She said VeriChip has been discussing that possible application with credit-card companies.
(snip)
The application with the most potential for use in humans is in the health care field. An RFID chip implanted in a human can be read easily by a scanner and then referenced back to a central medical database. The unique ID–the company calls it the “VeriChip Subscriber Number”–is matched with the Global VeriChip Subscriber Registry. The password-protected data is maintained on two VeriChip database registry operations, one in Riverside, Calif., the other in Owings, Md.

Conspiracy? Who mentioned that? All I wrote about was increasing RADIATION frying defenseless BABIES while they’re in the Mother’s womb. That is NOT the result of a conspiracy other than every wireless company decided making profits exceeds any imaginary Right of a new child to not be sprayed with microwave radiation while its soft skull is easily VIOLATED.
But that’s just normal good ol’ wonderful Capitalism and Survival of the Fittest at work. Those babies with the thicker skulls won’t get autism, which by the way is up 600%.
As far as Americans being Free, that’s imaginary also. At least by my definition of Free. We in America live under two umbrellas. There’s the civilian umbrella and there’s the military umbrella. One of those operates within the other.
But that still is not a conspiracy. It’s just Normal. When such time comes that a bunch of Americans decides to throw tea overboard {not accept mandated chips}, we’ll find out which umbrella comes after you with big guns.

My son expressed a thought about a more productive outlet for the RFID tech industries’ GPS tracking chips than putting them in animals & wandering people.
Since the military arms industry doubtless causes more threat to health and safety than any other source on the planet, why not mandate that every weapon from every manufacturer in the world; that is every bullet, missile, cluster bomb, tank, UAV, jet, helicopter, transport, ground vehicle, military satellite, directed energy weapon, chemical weapon canister, biological weapon canister, ship, & whatever I left out be RFID traceable from factory to target anywhere in the world, as well as to have a 24 hour report back to the designated data collection site on each movement?
All data should be available to whomever will profit the most from it.
That should give the tech industries an endless task & lots and lots of profits. I would just as soon have my taxes pay for that than to have my rights and my animal’s rights brutalized by these crazies.

All this sets us up for the biblical “Mark of the Beast”: Once the One-World ruler a.k.a. The Antichrist) initiates his plan for peace & security he will insist that everyone wear an identifier placed in the right hand or forehead (the site used, I suppose, if one’s right hand is missing). No one will be able to buy or sell anything at anytime anywhere in the world without this mark. Those accepting the Mark have stated their allegence to The Antichrist and are doomed for all eternity. After a 3-1/2 year period of peaceful conditions, The Antichrist announces that he is god and starts the war to end all wars. After 3-1/2 years of the most horrific carnage, the Lord returns to to earth to end the strife. The question is: who should we follow - man or Christ?
