On Monday, Aug. 24, 1998, Professor Kevin Warwick, director of cybernetics at the

University of Reading in the United Kingdom, became the first man to be implanted

with a silicone-covered, human-implantable microchip. According to the August 28th

 edition of CNN on-line, " The ultimate aim of this technology, said Warwick, would

be to connect humans more closely with computers. A simple example is responding to e-mails with the move of a finger, or ultimately connecting the computer to the human nervous system. "You then really have a direct connection from the brain to the computer. That has been a science fiction idea, but maybe technically this is step one," he said. "

From the beginning, the human implantable chip has been controversial. The

controversy does not so much center around the ability to open doors and interface

 with computers at a wave of the hand, but it centers on the ability to make what

was once a passively interactive microchip, (one that needed to be activated by an

outside 'interrogator' or scanner) to one that is active and generates it's own signal

 due to built in antennae. These latter types can put out a signal some distance

away, up to 100 feet in some cases and may utilize other sensors to draw electrical

 power. These can be read without so much as a sneeze from the bearer. Thus, the

 technology has evolved to the point that a human being can be easily tracked

without his/her knowledge either through an implantable chip or through some item

which is using RfID in order to track product movement.

What if the product is YOU? What if the clothing you wear, the foods you have

ingested, the car you drive and the attache' bag that you carry are all RfID

equipped? We are already closer to that end then you may think. The technology to

create Rfid transponders within clothing fiber has been available since the early part

of this decade. The 'Mu' chip as Motorola calls it, is as small as a particle of dust

and can easily be spread in a powder throughout many types of materials, such as,

for example, the fibers within currency. Nanotechnology has even made it possible

to engineer food at the microscopic level, bringing out certain tastes and textures. It

is possible to swallow these particles without even tasting them at that level. The

convergence of nanotechnology and Rfid such as the Mu chip can make it very

simple for any human being to be implanted so to speak, in a very invasive yet

painless way. Any vehicle, can easily be implanted with Rfid and let's not forget the

toll passes many of us use. That green light as you approach the toll booth with one

of these activators means that your pass has already been remotely read and 'they'

have all your information .Yes- most products have already been tracked at the port

of entry palette by palette. Then, item by item. With what seems to be the imminent

encroachment of a New Order of the Ages , where we become partakers in a global

feudal system, the 'serfs' must be controlled, traced and tracked down by their

'lords'. What better way than to totally surround each serf with items which are RfiD

tagged thus, making darn sure the property (you) is well managed?

 IBM one of the biggest financiers to RfiD technology,   has been in the business of

tracking human flesh since the advent of the Hollerith machine which was an early

computing device used for the purpose of inventorying every concentration camp

inmate. Each one was assigned a number and the data entered into the Hollerith via

its punchcard system . When that man or woman was starved, beaten , gassed or

worked to death, another number was coded to them which showed they had

officially expired.

Today, the inventorying is just as nefarious, only the tone has changed. We are

pandered to rather then threatened. We are told that the IBM funded  human

implantable chips can be used for our good: to track our health, our Alzheimer

affected loved ones, our children and of course the newly released  glucose

sensoring Verichip aimed at the diabetic demographic . For now the technology of

human microchip implantation is not mandatory. For now, we can choose for

ourselves whether we want to wave our chipped hand in front of a garage door to

open it or allow our most private information to be viewed on a screen as the code

in the chip reveals it's data. Yet, if our countries decide to chip our currency, our

clothing and the many items we routinely buy and do not give us the choice of

'unchipped' items, will we then be forced to be scanned, tracked and numbered as

another piece of merchandise?
