Goverment tracking chips of people--it is now here.

[CoffeePlease1947]

I remember being told as a child that someday the government was going to put a computer chip inside of us and be able to track where we are and what we have been doing. I laughted it off. But now, it is happening. In the United States people are installing tracking chips in their pets. Now in Japan they are doing it with their children.

This scares me to death. I don't want the government tracking people.
People may think this will help stop abductions but I really doubt it will. Computers and tracking systems can be fooled with.

Thoughts?

1. If the guy with the gun says you get the chip, you get the chip

It will be a great help to the regime to be able to punish or liquidate large numbers of undesirables with a simple click.

2. two possibilities

Possibility # 1

The beginning of "End Times":


Revelations Chp.14 v.9-11

...And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, if any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand...


I consider myself as having a Christian upbringing but whenever I read any religious texts I always carry a big bag 'o salt with me...Many people will interpret this as being what is talked about in the bible





Possibility #2


Man on Phone: Yes I'd like to pledge 10,000 to your wonderful public broadcasting fund drive...heh heh heh...


Operator: Great, thank you sir we can now get back to the programming...now what is your n...(click)



TV Announcer: We have WONDERFUL NEWS. Someone has just pledged the 10,000 dollars we needed to return you to your programming but he forgot to leave his name; however, thanks to Insta-Trace we have determined his name is HOMER SIMPSON. Don't worry Mr. Simpson, our Pledge Enforcement Van will be in front of your house momentarily so stay right where you are


Homer: D'oh!...Oh why did I register with Insta-trace?




That is all... :D

5. It may be on your credit card(s) right now.

It will be sold to you as security or convenience, and when your wallet isn't with you, you're probably not doing anything important anyway, right?
