The Center for Artificial Indifference

Big Brother With An Attitude…

What type of mentality would voluntarily or even passively have an RFID tag implanted? Today it may contain only essential medical history, tomorrow…who knows? Yet here is Tommy Thompson, the Health and Human Services Secretary in President Bush’s first term and a former Governor, getting tagged. Is his former boss impressed? How long before we see legislation to mandate tags for all citizens? It will probably be poorly disguised as yet another plan to lower health care costs, and how could anyone possibly vote against that? Let’s hope our legislators attend and stay awake for that debate.

An improbable coalition is hinted at in the following excerpt from the article:

Civil libertarians theorize that the chips will allow governments or corporations to track people’s movement and behavior. Some Christians have said the chips are so evil they fulfill a biblical prophesy about satanic influences.

Used and managed properly RFID technology has tremendous positive potential that could benefit us as individuals as well as society at large. However, with the decline of our political and cultural mores, the probability of misuse is very high. This is very dangerous! Resist with everything you have for as long as you’re allowed to have it!

    there was prophesy.
    issues on big brother are getting hotter,i think this is b/c of what the computer will result in.as i have said before the beast would controll the mind and this world.what i want to mention only two points (prophsy)one on bible and the other one from american prophet called marry k.baxter.on revelation the bible says ” a breath is given to the image of the beast”the image can be literal to be taken as like as the computer hardware and the breath is analogous to the software.when i come to the other prophesy (marry k.baxter),she predicted the type of the computer and the name of the stuff before it was constructed (befor 25 years approx)on the book called revelation of hell by marry k.baxter.
