Can you say automatic targeting systems? With what the military spends on devices it's not hard to come up with a position locator. The soldiers won't stand a chance.

VeriChip is undoubtedly just the beginning phase of the technology, designed to warm people up to the idea of implants so that when the time comes for them to receive the Mark of the Beast, many won't think twice. Or maybe at that point you'll have to. The Mark of the Beast may actually go by another moniker altogether other than "VeriChip" when it finally arrives. Who knows for sure at this point.

Start off slow... use it for the military first to get people used to the idea that it's goooood, then move to civilians.

What?!? Did you think this whole thread could last without at least one mention of that? Get real!!!

I wrote VeriChip the following message:

I just got finished reading that your company is lobbying the US Government for a contract to stick your chip into 1.4 million troops, myself included. Let me just start by saying that I am outraged that VeriChip is lobbying to make lots of money by sticking a permanent piece of circuitry into my body without my consent. This makes you a potential intruder into my life. I will NEVER allow anyone to place an RFID chip into my body. On top of the fact that it's an intrusion into my body, it's just not necessary. The military already uses smart cards for its ID cards which contain encrypted information and PKI certificates. This is sufficient for all identification and access control purposes. You might argue that your RFID chip would provide an advantage for identifying casualties. The military already has DNA on file for that purpose, and if it's a situation that would require DNA identification, there's little chance that the RFID chip would be intact. Bottom line: you are lobbying for a lucrative contract to push a unnecessary product on a lot of people that don't want you to come near them. And I, for one, will never let that happen. ]]>Aug 24th 2006 8:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/Aug 24th 2006 8:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/Aug 24th 2006 8:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/Aug 24th 2006 8:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/
Revelation 13:16-18(Verichip=666) He also FORCED
EVERYONE, small and
great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right
hand or on his forehead, so that no one could BUY OR SELL unless he
had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the NUMBER of his
name. This calls for WISDOM. If anyone has INSIGHT, let him calculate
the number of the beast, for it is MAN'S number. His number is 666.]]>Feb 22nd 2007 6:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/
Jayson; if it ended on the 22nd according to you, why are YOU still here? Try to keep up with intelligent posts instead of pretending to be a smart ass. Replying with sarcasm makes you look more stupid that what you already are.

It will be a cool day in hell before anyone stick that little bugger inside me. i like my freedom the way it was meant to be; free of any chip or RFID.

I have a far better idea-let's bring back or men and women from that fake war and let Bush and his merry band of criminals to fight alone in the front line to protect the nation's right of "democracy" and not some multi-trillion dollar oil line...]]>Aug 24th 2006 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/Aug 24th 2006 8:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/Aug 24th 2006 8:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/

Crappy idea. Dog tags work just fine, and Verichip's father apparently never told him the adage of "if it ain't broke..."]]>Aug 24th 2006 9:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/
Second, RFID has a range, a very short range if done right, don't be so retarded about it. They aren't going to be scoping out soldiers RFID tags from accross a battlefield, hell not even across a room.

Third someone made mention of tagged weapons, and you know what, that's a really good way to make smart weapons no? Just tag the weapon to only work when held by us soldiers with the tag.

RFID still hasn't proven itself to be secure though and although I see advantages to the concept eventually, I don't think it's ready yet.

In regards to the privacy issue and that whole anything is crackable, can't they just use a sufficiently large rsa key or something of that nature? Who honestly cares if they figure out the name of the soldier they walked past 8 years ago by the time they'd crack it. Encryption is all about making things reasonably secure. Of course given infinite time and infinite resources anything is crackable (except quantum encryption so i hears) but no one has either.


When stories like these break the stupid companies should really be making an effort to explain why they want to do this and what the advantages are rather than just coming off as money hungry.... unless Engadget left out some deets.]]>Aug 24th 2006 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/

It is time, that we American Resistance put this to the end of this MARK OF THE BEAST.

Warn others as you can, people need to know.. One man can not make a change in the world, but with everyone together with this understanding of what this is really about, and what the IRAQ wars, etc 9/11 was all a setup to bring about the NEW WORLD ORDER FINAL BATTLE against anyone who is against their PLANS!

The government already planning to make the United States of America to join up with the two other country, Mexico & Canada as a NORTH AMERICAN UNION. Do the search on the net. This is part of the bible prophecy, the BEAST (Antichrist world power) with 7 heads and 10 horns. One of the horns is European Union, the next, well you guess it it the North American Union, as well South American Union, etc.

This is part of the ILLUMINATI plan to take control over the world, the true foundation of the final step of the rise of the ANTICHRIST into power.

Then remember this.. research this information, expose it, and prepared yourself to resistance it.
We going to need your HELP!

The war on Terrorist is just part of their plot, remember the real Terrorist is our government who want to enslaved us all.

Stand on the Word of GOD, walk with the Lord GOD almighty, for he is the way, truth and light, Jesus Christ, AMEN! For his true coming is at hand. JOIN THE TRIBULATION RESISTANCE GROUP, form them, etc.

Stay in touch with me.

SHALOM and May the Lord be with you always!]]>Sep 21st 2006 11:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/

I can't recall exactly but aren't they supposed to grab them when someone passes away in duty or something of that nature?"
Yes. I understand is that they take one of the tags when the man dies as proof of death.

"Second, RFID has a range, a very short range if done right, don't be so retarded about it. They aren't going to be scoping out soldiers RFID tags from accross a battlefield, hell not even across a room."
Any RFID can be read from far far away with a good reader. In the end RFID is just a filter for radio energy that it reflects back. The more energy you pump into it the more it sends back (==more range).]]>Aug 24th 2006 9:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/

Regardless, why not give the soldiers RFID dog tags and an implant in the back of the neck that can be easily removed after duty?

I also think it's irrational to say that these people are going to be walking homing becons. Not only is the RFID tech hard to crack, but, at that size, it's not going to be transmitting a signal more than a few feet.]]>Aug 24th 2006 9:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/Aug 24th 2006 9:44AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/Aug 24th 2006 9:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/Aug 24th 2006 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.engadget.com/2006/08/24/verichip-wants-to-chip-every-us-soldier/http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=december+21%2C+2012+mayan+11%3A18&btnG=Search

Maybe they didn’t read the Jill Carroll story this week:
"Yesterday, the American soldiers came very close, very close to this place where you were. Why did they do that?"
Again, they were accusing me of communicating with the U.S. military. This was bad.
"I am the leader of this little group, and I'm a little more sophisticated than my friends here," he continued. "Do you have something in your body, something to send a signal to your government?"
Then he told me a story: He'd had a friend held at the U.S. prison at Abu Ghraib. This friend claimed that Marines had given him medicine that put him to sleep, many times. After he got out, he went to the doctor, had an X-ray, and they'd found an electronic tracking device implanted in his body.
"If you have this in your body, tell me now and we'll go and take it out,""

(Horns are kings)And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

Daniel 8:7 (The Ram is a nation but the beast is many nations...the UN/US/England etc)
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler (irascibility; anger; wrath) against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns:(Kings) and there was no power in the ram to stand before him,(the UN/US) but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

Daniel 8:20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. (IRAN/IRAQ/ARABS)
