how can we stop the RFID [Radio Frequency Identification Device] +the VeriChip,where is our God given privacy?
816717
Hello,\n\nThe only way we as individuals can stop RFID is if we, as individuals JUST SAY NO.\n\nThis may not be THE mark of the beast, but it is pretty darn close to it.\n\nWhat I have been thinking of doing is beginning to stock up on non perishable foods, batteries, flashlights, water, a radio, blankets, clothes, toiletries, a homemade first aid kit, medications, etc. in a plastic container you can purchase at walmart.\n\nIf I will not take the RFID in my body, I will have to have some sort of foods to eat for my family and myself. \n\nPreparation is the best defense, especially if you are Christian such as myself.\n\nJesus said, "Fear not." Okay, so I will not fear man, but Jesus did not say protect and arm yourselves with knowledge. Remember, Jesus said, "People perish for lack of knowledge."\n\nI intend to arm myself with knowledge, even if my family will not believe what I tell them is going on under their noses.\n\nOh, and since when did we really have "privacy"? That has all been but an illusion. \n\nHope this helps you...........................................................  :-O

I think a chip will be the mark, but it won't be simply for medical/mental health reasons.  The chip will also be able to handle banking information, hence the whole "can't buy or sell without it" scenario.  Think of it, your credit card couldn't get stolen, no stolen identities, couldn't write bad checks, it would save a lot of business headaches.  If its winter you wouldn't have to take off your coat to scan your shoulder or something, so the hand or forehead would just be the rational way to do it.  It would be able to track lost kids, keep your finances updated, keep your medical history on file, It will be very logical.  The logic of it is the frightening part. Not only would any semblance of freedom be gone, but you'd be affirming your alliegance to the very entity (government, islam, man, whatever), who'd be trying to destroy us all.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) cards contain tiny transceivers which are activated when the pass near a sensor.\n\nSome are self-powered (active), with a tiny built-in battery but most are "passive" cards, powered by an induced current from the sensor unit. Active cards have a much greater range and must be used whenever distance from the sensor is a factor. This generally is not an issue for proximity card applications.\n\nRFID chips can be read-only -- a simple fixed code is transmitted which identifies the card or product -- or read-write, where information contained on the card or tag can be modified.

An implant the size of a rice grain could significantly impact the way hospitals view and keep patient records. A letter from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicated that a radio frequency identification (RFID) implantable tag, manufactured by Palm Beach, Fla.-based VeriChip, was the only product of its kind on the market. VeriChip markets an 11 millimeter RFID tag that is injected into fatty tissue just above the right tricep.\n\nThe chip can radio an identification number to a proprietary VeriChip scanner. The FDA ruling, in effect, allowed the manufacturer to seek a final re view process to determine if the technology can be used in U.S. hospitals. The FDA approval process will likely center on privacy concerns such as if the technology would make protected patient information vulnerable to improper disclosure.\n\nThe technology, which holds potential for storing patient demographic information and medical history, is already in use for standard biometric security applications and in the financial market. It is also quietly gaining ground elsewhere. In April, the Italian Ministry of Health began a six-month pilot project using the chips in hospitals, and Mexico has studied the tags' use for identifying children in the event of abduction,

There is not software.  There is hardware in development that utilizes a form of radar that allows airport screeners to "see" under a person's clothing.\n\nThe system is so detailed that they currently have not yet deployed the system due to the ability to see "everything" and there is a fear of reprisial from the public with screeners viewing the "privates".

Hey, the Chinese are doing it.  I can't help you much but I did find this.\n\nChina attaches RFID tags on pigs for the first time\n\nChina has adopted the RFID technology in pig breeding for the first time. It has fixed tags on 1000 pigs. The leading pig food processing company Sichuan Chunyuan took the overall responsibility of the Chinese RFID program. The food processing company has fixed e-tag on pig's ear.\n\nThe use of RFID technology in the pig industry will benefit the consumers enormously. They are now able to keep track on their pigs. They will get information about breeding, butchering and circulation of a pig through computers. Epidemics, what we consider as a retarding factor for the growth of agricultural sector can be prevented.

you can use ZoneAlarm program.It can control and block all of that.

I have a microchip implanted in my left arm just above my elbow. It can be traced by using GPS, supermarket checkout scanners and garage door openers.

Let's not be naive, what is right or legal will not stop those with power from learning what they want to know. Our technological advances in the field of communications have presented an irresistible opportunity for those with power to abuse our rights. Our only hope for the future is that these powers are somewhat benevolent torward us. The only place you can know,... really know, that you have privacy, is the thoughts in your head.

Complain to Verizon\n\nI really don't think they are just waiting up a pole ready to cut you off as soon as you make a call...   If they wanted to do that, they could sit back in the exchange and do it with the touch of a button or two.\n\nIt's more likely they are up that pole trying to fix a problem which may be giving you the disconnects in the first place.\n\nAnd you mention "taps", rather than disconnects.. which is it?  What evidence have you that your line is tapped?\nI don't know of an online method to check your line...  a competent security company could come and sweep your home and phone line, to some extent, but you have to bear in mind that the ability to tap any phone line, at least for official agencies,  is built in to all phone exchanges in the USA these days, as a legal requirement.. and tapping a digital signal at the exchange level is undetectable by the consumer.\nGone are the days when they had climb up poles and sneak around hooking wires to your wall-box any more, they don't even need to leave their desk... just hit a few keys and sit back.    Isn't technology wonderful?\n\nIf you suspect that somebody un-official is tampering with your phone, that's a matter for the police. If I recall correctly, it may even be a federal case...   On the other hand, if it's official, then you won't get a lot of help.. and, frankly, if the tapping was being done by some official body, they'd be a lot better at it and you wouldn't notice.\n\nThere's also more than a hint of paranoia in your question, you may want to wonder if perhaps you're reading more into it than is there.

The irony of this question and the responses that most surely follow (Not me...not happening...) is the scariest thing since the first "Nightmare on Elm Street". \n\nThere is much to be gained by having such a device placed within you as long as it is undetectable. If used properly, this device could relay medical complications before they actually develop symptoms, or just be used to identify you in place of a lost too often identification card. If this sort of system was imposed, then the problem with identity theft could be erased, and ultimately end up saving the average consumer immensive amounts of money by the fact that identity theft bullets would not have to be bitten on by businesses. \n\nI understand where the true resistors to this sort of revolution are coming from. The idea of "Big Brother" having you tagged with a microchip is a scary concept. I figure that the same way that it could trasmit small electrical signals to be deciphered by other environmental receptors for your benefit, it could be used in reverse so that you can be controlled via small electrical pulses at the brain's frequencies...\n\nI assure you, however, my friends that you should not be scared of the government having some master plan with monitoring you or controlling you... They already have been for a great amount of time. \n\nHow? Your wonderful social security number is your bar code and public media (music, t.v.) has been subliminally controlling you for decades! Is it no wonder that radical music ends up in one of two ways: commercialized and dumbed down or under-funded and hardly distributed...? Look at rap music from the nineties and from the present...How about rock...? \n\nHmmm...\n\nThat's food for thought...\n\nHope that helps...

i don't want gps being used on me in any way. too many ways the technology could be abused and this would be setting a dangerous precedent. the fourth amendment would protect against this as an unlawful search, because there is no probable cause to believe that everyone would be breaking the law.
