My view of the world

Well the beginning of the end for personal freedom is upon us.
The latest:
A security company in Cincinatti, has started using RFID chips in some of it’s employees. These are to control access to a secure room, but RFID chips also allow anyone with access to the technology to tell when and where you entered a store, to tell what you purchased or looked at.
In other words, these devices don’t send out a signal like a beacon, but are activated by an electromagnetic field, just like a credit card, and once the infrastructure is in place, the datacenters like the credit card proccessing companies and the ubiquitous “government”, will have our every move on file.
Unlike current credit card technology these devices only have to be in the general vicinity of the reader.

The company that is developing the Veri-chip has stated that they are attempting to develop an implant that would contain a Global Positioning System, which would allow the implanted carrier to be pinpointed anywhere on the planet.

“Mexico is the first country to go public with its use of the microchip for law-enforcement purposes,” observes VeriChip’s president Keith Bolton. Russia, Switzerland, Venezuela and Colombia have also purchased an undisclosed quantity of chips. And Italy’s Ministry of Health announced last April that it would be putting the chips to use in hospitals as part of a six-month trial.

Makes the NSA look like a bunch of girl scouts doesn’t it?

I didn’t start this blog to be yet another doom sayer, but this whole bloody mess is getting out of hand.

My initial source for the above is, Stop the FTAA, which is affiliated with the John Birch Society, but I checked the data with Hacer and The Register and it is essentially correct.
