Implantable Credit Cards....Mark of the Beast Alert!
Applied Digital Solutions' CEO Announces ``VeriPay'' Secure, Subdermal Solution for Payment and Credit Transactions

http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/031121/215207_1.html

<snip>
-Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - News) an advanced technology development company, announced that the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Scott R. Silverman, in his speech today at the ID World 2003 in Paris, France, revealed the Company's newest subdermal RFID solution called VeriPay(TM). VeriPay is intended to be a secure, subdermal RFID (radio frequency identification) payment technology for cash and credit transactions.

About the size of a grain of rice, VeriChip(TM) is the world's first subdermal, radio frequency identification (RFID) microchip that can be used in a variety of security, financial, emergency identification and other applications.

.............................................
and then consider this...

"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Revelation 13:16-18

4. Amen to that! They can go to hell with that idea
the "cashless society" is one I refuse to live in anyway. This, however, has WAY too many possibilities for abuse

3. Scary
Edited on Fri Nov-21-03 01:30 PM by nu_duer
That's just scary. There is no way I'd ever, ever have a chip implanted into myself or anyone I care about, including my pets. I mean, reguardless of what you believe about Christianity or its Bible or religion in general, this is something that was prophecized (sp?) that once seemed unbelievable which is now evidently soon to be an option.

Or will it be mandatory? If only there were some huge threat from some shadowy enemy....

If these chips could carry bank info, they could also carry info necessary to identify you at airport check-in, or at any checkpoint our government decided to put up where ever they decided to put them up. Not only could your financial status be maintained, so could your criminal history, hell, your political affiliation as well. Not to mention your every move could be tracked and recorded.

Meanwhile, our little anti-Christ(?) is busy setting the stage for Armegeddon in the Middle East while one of his top generals says the US is just one "terrorist" attack away from tossing our Constitution....

:tinfoilhat: :scared:

8. it will be optional at first
It will be 100% optional for a while. To do business at the major chain stores and banks you'll have to have it. You're not *required* to give your social security number to anyone except the government, but you can't do business without it.

If you don't want to get an implanted chip, no one will force you - but you won't be able to live in society if you don't. 20 years, give or take.

creepy huh?

9. Right
we'll have to start developing our own economies: community-based buying and selling. We won't live as well (meaning we won't have the latest technological wonders in our kitchens and living rooms), but perhaps we'll be better off, and certainly less controlled.

three lines that are longer than all the rest of the lines in a bar code in an interesting way....first long line as a six, the middle long line as a six, and the last long line as a six.

6. How could they enforce
mandatory implantation? I doubt very few people would go for a v-chip in their head voluntarily. We're not all as stupid as *W.

11. Simple really
They make it easier to have one than not. Sell the crap out of it, point out it's superiorities to conventional credit/debit cards. Offer deals that can't be had any other way. Make the implant free. And on and on. This will get a significant portion of people using it, once that snowball starts rolling it can't be stopped.

I once said I would never have a credit card due to the same problem. Cash and carry for this kid! Yeah, sure. Oh you CAN live without credit cards if you want but it is a lot less convenient. So you compromise (aka: sell your soul) and get one. Or several. The "cash and carry kid" now has a wallet bulging with the dreaded things. Damnit.

The chips will happen. Believe it.

15. Call me naive, but I would like to believe that most people would
reject this idea. People at both ends of the political extreme will be violently opposed to this and I would think that most Christian would reject it also. I don't think Jews would like the idea either.

18. I'm Still Freaked Out About Cellphones
and the way some people seem to think their lives depend on being wired 24/7.

Shoot, a woman walked into the P.O. today wearing a headset type cellphone. At first I thought she was talking to herself cause I didn't see the headset right away.

Why be so attached to the grid?

19. Didn't you hear?
Cellphones cause brain damage....lol. I wonder if we could correlate the amount of time spent on cellphones w/ people who voted for Bush?

Say like, 60% of people who talk on cells more than 2 hrs a day voted for Bush.
