The "Medical" Security Chip

The article below is a necessary extension of your education and preparation to soar with the White Eagle. This article appeared May 10, 2002. Outwardly it would seem to be relatively innocuous, providing medical information for a family. At a deeper, more subliminal level it is possibly part of a national move to implant everyone so that the security agencies of the federal government can better track or locate individuals. At the moment this is not a significant concern for most people because they believe they have nothing to fear from federal control authorities. There is a feeling that the rights and privileges of US citizenship and the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution will protect us from governmental abuse. The founding fathers knew that this would require constant vigilance to maintain and the nearly imperceptible erosion of these liberties has gone on through our national history. In addition, this is subject to change at any moment by the declaration of martial law which has its own definition in a series of executive orders written by US Presidents over a period of fifty years. Now with the Model State Emergency Health Preparedness Act designed by federal agencies and presented for enactment by state legislatures, martial law takes on a new significance as the response to the "Attack on America" which has brought us the "War on Terrorism" with its restrictions on liberties in the name of security.
BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) - With a painless syringe-prick in their upper arms, a Florida family on Friday became the first recipients of tiny, computer chip implants that store medical information. Jeff and Leslie Jacobs, along with their 14-year-old son, Derek, had the
chips, about the size of a grain of rice, implanted in about a minute under The family wanted the implants in case of future medical emergencies. The implant, called the VeriChip, were designed by Palm Beach-based Applied Digital Solutions Inc. The chips are similar to chips implanted in pets to identify them if they are lost. Jeff Jacobs is a 48-year-old dentist who has suffered through cancer, a car crash, a degenerative spinal condition, chronic eye disease and abdominal operations. He is on 10 medications and doctors have told him they are not sure how long he will live. "We're doing this as a security for us, because we've worked so hard to save my husband's life," said Leslie Jacobs, 46. The Jacobs family's chips contain only telephone numbers and information about previous medications. The VeriChip doesn't require batteries and its data is read by a scanning device which can be Internet-connected to access a medical record database. Patients would pay a fee to keep private medical information in the database, but would be able to update and manage their own records. For now, patients or their families would have to tell emergency medical workers that a chip had been implanted, VeriChip officials said. If the use of such chips ever become commonplace, emergency workers might automatically scan for the devices. The Food and Drug Administration said in April that it would not regulate the implant as long as it contains no medical data. The FDA did not consider the implant to be a medical device, company officials said. An FDA spokeswoman in Miami did not return a phone call Friday. Company officials hope to eventually include more extensive information. The company says it would be particularly valuable for those who suffer from Alzheimer's disease or others with difficulty providing medical information on their own. VeriChip, which does not require batteries, is expected to sell for about $200. A scanner used to read its information would cost between $1,000 and $3,000. The chip, which could also be used as a security tool, has stirred debate over its potential use as a "Big Brother" device to track people or invade the privacy of their homes or workplaces. Jacobs and his family brushed aside those arguments, saying anyone can be tracked through the Internet and e-mail, credit cards and cellular phones.

[May
it be noted that when you stop using the internet, credit cards and cellular
phones your location and activities are once again private. That is, until
Electronic Fund Transfers become the only means of purchasing goods or services.
That, too, is in the works. Slowly the controls are being put into place
so that an unaware, docile public will place themselves in the chains of the
National Security State of the New World Order proclaimed in 1992. The
crocodile glides quietly toward its prey and in a last moment lunge, devours its
freedom and its life. What is happening today is very seductive and
manipulative, a grand lesson for learning awareness, self-responsibility and
self-sufficiency as well as social responsibility and societal involvement.
You could describe this awareness as a conspiracy theory, but that is exactly
what the crocodile is doing and the prey believes it is only an innocuous log
floating nearer. No need for alarm. Until it is too late.]
