VeriChip Corporation, a provider of radio frequency identification (RFID) systems for healthcare and patient-related needs, today announced that its personal health record used in conjunction with its VeriMed Health Link system will be accessible through Microsoft(R) HealthVault(TM), an online platform designed to put consumers in control of their health information. Through this agreement, Health Link members will have the ability to open free HealthVault accounts and input, store, view and interact with their health data. Further, the data within Health Link members’ existing accounts will be directly accessible through their HealthVault accounts.
Scott R. Silverman, Chairman of the Company, said, “VeriChip’s strategic alliance with Microsoft provides additional benefits to our members by enabling them to seamlessly store all of their personal health records on HealthVault’s robust, security-enhanced website. Furthermore, as an approved HeathVault solution provider, this agreement gives us added visibility among HealthVault’s member base. For those who have chosen our tamper-proof, safe, ‘always on’ link to their personal health information, we believe this relationship with Microsoft is a logical expansion of our service.”

Its what you make of it really, personally I wouldnt like my medical information stored on a chip not today not anyday. The story is just another example of how we are heading in that direction in my opinion..

Why not? You probably have a medical record anyway, a chip like that would just make things easier for doctors treating you in an emergency.

I would agree of its medical advantages also for tagging kids and state Identification, Verichip has already been approved by US Medical board to be used in the Human Body. However I believe that this will evolve into something else that I would rather not talk about.

The current Verichip would be way too large and would show up as a lump under the skin particularly the forehead (Forehead having thermal advantages over other parts of the body. In the forehead it can also be used with Hybrid RFID / Retina scanners for more positive identification.

I don't think many would want it. (I believe it will be voluntary first) There is also a carcinogenic issues with test animals on the current model.
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/11/technology/11micro.html

I would expect that there is further developments to decrease the size and also to convince people of its medical implications however I believe they will always have medical issues.

The draw back of any implant is the size of the antenna which is normally coiled around a capacitor. These are passively charged and don't need batteries.

Why would they put them in the forehead at all? the hand makes much more sense.
Well technically an electronic card or something in a mobile phone would make more sense, but then the bible wouldn't have predicted anything. Cos noone has ever used the bible to predict something and has been wrong before.

The right hand is also a logical place for the Implant. For starters Arabs would have an issue of using their left hand, no explaination. With some Arabs its an insult to shake hands with your left hand

Most people are right handed also if you notice all the RFID transit touch pads around the world are right handed. Implants in the left hand would be too awkward.

So then why put it in the head? Or are you just assuming so because of the bible "prophecy"?
And why implant the chip in the first place? It would be a lot easier, cheaper and more likely to work with a card.

It would hardly make much sense to put it in the big toe, Your hands / fingers now more increasingly being used for ID by the authorities.

Mahatma coat · 26-11-2008 10:00am

Look mate, IF they force these things into people it will be into the back of the neck. hands and arms are extermeties and are accessible, people wouldnt have MUCH hessitation fishin around in their arm for a chip if it came down to it, no serious risk of permanant damage, it wont go in the forhead precisely because of the bible prophecy, so the only logical place left is th back of the neck, I gave this a fair bit ofthought a few years ago when I had to tag cattle individualy, I can also see why they like Cattle crush style queues at airports:D

I think King Mob has hit ontheright idea from the wrongangle of approach,theywill use our phones to tag us, we will cary them and eventually they will become indespensable as ID, Electronic wallets, GPS Locaters, used for Email, oh and as Phones, you will have the CHOICE to leave yer phone at home but life would imideatley become imensley more difficult without it, so we will all toe the line.

that said I'd watch and see what happens inthe states with Paroled sex offenders overthenext 5 - 10 years

The patented BioBond coating on the verichip that enables the surrounding tissues to fuse with an otherwise smooth glass capsule. BioBond was a solution to the problem of RFID microchips migrating when implanted under the skin of household pets. This coating makes the Verichip implant very difficult to remove without surgery and is what makes it "stick". In other words, like the Verichip, is likely to stay once implanted.

People will be foolish to tamper with them even by surgery, would you try entering JFK today on a false microchipped passport? You would be an idiot and more than likely be branded as a "potential terrorist" considering the fact that they may also ask you to produce a finger scan and possible a retina in the future.

You may get away with tampering with your chip for smaller commercial activities like shop purchases and local transit travel but if you wanted to cross a border, make a bank transaction, enter a federal building, travel on a plane you would be caught out as these may require additional finger / retina security scans. The authorities may then have the power to check your implant against a thumb / retina scan at any time.

Cause the bible prophesied it?

But why implant a chip at all it would be very expensive to get every one to go to a doctor to get one implanted. Not to mention the amount of time money and effort it would take to get everyone to do it.
It would be easily removed regardless of biobond (link for this by the way I smell BS).
You are also assuming alot about the laws regard these chips.
You say anyone tampering with a chip will be branded a terrorist, do they do that with people who tamper with their passport? No they just refuse them entry into the country.

Furthermore I see no issue providing authorities with my passport when traveling why would a RFID passport be a bad thing exactly? Other than the over the top speculated punishments you are imagining?

And where exactly are you getting the idea about these chips in the first place? What government have expressed interest in them?

And for the love of god don't ignore these questions, they're valid to the issue.

I am not on for drag & pasting scrips as some unless there is a reason, I would prefer to write in my own words and show the appropriate links.

Most of the information is sourced from books, websites even material downloaded from the manufacturers and promoters of the offending products

A recommended book "The Mark of the New World Order" 1996 by Terry Cook is highly recommended even though technology mentioned is 12 years dated.
http://www.amazon.com/Mark-World-Order-Terry-Cook/dp/0883684667

Maybe so on that site but Google "Biobond" and "RFID"
and you will find heaps of veterinary based websites on the subject. Biobond has been used for years with cattle and pets RFID inserts. It bonds flesh to the chip to stop it moving around the body causing possible blood clots.

The RFID implant will come subtly, I already explained about the boiling frog. The boiling frog story states that a frog can be boiled alive if the water is heated slowly enough — it is said that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will never jump out.

Likewise with RFID Implants, if the global authorities introduced the Implant in gradual steps IE smart cards, NFC Mobile phones, more and more cashless transactions, thumb & retina scans etc no one would notice the progression. However if they sprung it on us there would be widespread suspicion and panic. and for the love of god don't ignore these questions, they're valid to the issue.[/QUOTE]

I agree with you, many churches are "rotten to the core". The Roman Catholic Church which has over 1 billion members may well be the religious wing of the NWO. I have yet to hear it preach out against the "Verichip" in fact this church could very well promote the product. :eek:
