Well, what did you SKL? I did not whine or bitch at all. In fact I have welcomed the North American Union on many threads here for the past 4 or five years now. Those IBM commercials are not referring to chipped people. The technology utilized for the second commercial, from what I have read in the past, uses the chip in your wallet or card you have on you to initiate the payment, not an embedded implanted chip.

I would love to shop like that. See SKL, many people arent bitching and whining, and the reason is, most Americans will actuallly welcome this technology, myself included. RFID has been used in tracking shipments of merchandise for years, but it becomes more widespread as costs go down. At present, the RFID shipments end at the warehouse or distribution point of retailers.

Amazon Review :
Was IBM, "The Solutions Company," partly responsible for the Final Solution?
That's the question raised by Edwin Black's IBM and the Holocaust, the most controversial book on the subject since Daniel Jonah Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners.
Black, a son of Holocaust survivors, is less tendentiously simplistic than Goldhagen, but his thesis is no less provocative: he argues that IBM founder Thomas Watson deserved the Merit Cross (Germany's second-highest honor) awarded him by Hitler, his second-biggest customer on earth.
"IBM, primarily through its German subsidiary, made Hitler's program of Jewish destruction a technologic mission the company pursued with chilling success," writes Black.
"IBM had almost single-handedly brought modern warfare into the information age [and] virtually put the 'blitz' in the krieg."
The crucial technology was a precursor to the computer, the IBM Hollerith punch card machine, which Black glimpsed on exhibit at the U.S. Holocaust Museum, inspiring his five-year, top-secret book project. The Hollerith was used to tabulate and alphabetize census data.
Black says the Hollerith and its punch card data ("hole 3 signified homosexual ... hole 8 designated a Jew") was indispensable in rounding up prisoners, keeping the trains fully packed and on time, tallying the deaths, and organizing the entire war effort.
Hitler's regime was fantastically, suicidally chaotic; could IBM have been the cause of its sole competence: mass-murdering civilians?
Better scholars than I must sift through and appraise Black's mountainous evidence, but clearly the assessment is overdue.
The moral argument turns on one question: How much did IBM New York know about IBM Germany's work, and when?
Black documents a scary game of brinksmanship orchestrated by IBM chief Watson, who walked a fine line between enraging U.S. officials and infuriating Hitler.
He shamefully delayed returning the Nazi medal until forced to--and when he did return it, the Nazis almost kicked IBM and its crucial machines out of Germany.
(Hitler was prone to self-defeating decisions, as demonstrated in How Hitler Could Have Won World War II.)

But when those packages start comign with chips and I can begin walking out the door with instant payment like commercial two, well that'll just be golden

Yea I read about the IBM nazi connection in the book Trading With the Enemy . Many American banks, Ford Motor, Standard Oil and alot of American companies traded with them during WW2. Is that the American identity which your afraid of losing? Were still doing it today no doubt!

Im not a traitor, just a progressive citizen. First the North American Union, and then the Entire Western Hemisphere, and eventually the Globe. It will be beautiful. If it sounds like im an NWO pawn, its because I am. It appears they are on the winning side right now, and I intend on staying on the winning side. Simple as that. most people you will find on the street will probably agree.

Your starting to sound like some Dystopian sci-fi novel man, calm down. I know you have been at this issue for years now and have done lots of research, I have been in a few of those threads. Most of them though indicate the simple commercial application of this technology, and I dont recall a single time where mandatory human mico-chipping was proposed.

Although I may recall something about embedding soldiers or felons or something, you might know what I am talking about, I actually consider you an expert on ATS in this subject.

However, I do remember an intensive debate on the supposed RFID topic included in the Health Care Reform legislation. I also remember that many of us went into the actual sections of the actual bill where it did not acually specify anything about micro chipping and RFID.
Originally posted by DYepes
The sections that opponents were reading into was the creation of an agency and database to regulate and monitor the performance, safety, and record of class IV medical implants, or something of that nature. Those included such things as prosthetics, pacemakers, the metal rod in my femur that was put there without my consent after a car accident in February (not that I mind, just would have been nice if they asked me first), even dental appplications.

Point is, we discussed the topic of alleged RFID chip issue in the health care bill for weeks, and went line by line, and we did not find anything conclusive that made chips mandatory or even brought the issue up.

I am certain that thread is still archived somewhere on ATS, but have no clue as to remembering the exact one I contributed to
As far as the immigration thing, you have definetly done more research than I, so I cannot make any statements in reggards to that yet.
Following Wisconsin and North Dakota,[27] California issued Senate Bill 362 in 2007, which prohibits employers and others from forcing anyone to have a RFID device implanted under their skin.[27]
On April 5, 2010, Georgia, Atlanta, Senate passed Senate Bill 235 that prohibits forced microchip implants in humans and that would make it a misdemeanor for anyone to require them, including employers. The bill would allow voluntary microchip implants, as long as they're performed by a physician and regulated by the Georgia Composite Medical Board. If the General Assembly passes the new Senate version, Georgia would join California, North Dakota and Wisconsin in banning mandatory microchip implant.[28]
On February 10, 2010 Virginia's House of Delegates also passed a bill that forbids companies from forcing their employees to be implanted with tracking devices.[29]
Quote from : Wikipedia : National Emergency Act
The National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601-1651) is a United States federal law passed in 1976 to stop open-ended states of national emergency and formalize the power of Congress to provide certain checks and balances on the emergency powers of the President.
The act sets a limit of two years on states of national emergency.
It also imposes certain "procedural formalities" on the President when invoking such powers.
The perceived need for the law arose from the scope and number of laws granting special powers to the executive in times of national emergency (or public danger).
At least two constitutional rights are subject to revocation during a state of emergency:
The right of habeas corpus, under Article 1, Section 9;
The right to a grand jury for members of the National Guard when in actual service, under Fifth Amendment.
In addition, many provisions of statutory law are contingent on a state of national emergency, as many as 500 by one count.
It was due in part to concern that a declaration of "emergency" for one purpose should not invoke every possible executive emergency power that Congress in 1976 passed the National Emergencies Act.
Among other provisions, this act requires the President to declare formally a national emergency and to specify the statutory authorities to be used under such a declaration.
There were 32 declared national emergencies between 1976 and 2001.
Most of these were for the purpose of restricting trade with certain foreign entities under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) (50 U.S.C. 1701-1707).
Quote from : Wikipedia : National Emergency Act : State of National Emergency In Effect Since September 2001
The United States has been in a state of national emergency continuously since September 14, 2001, when the Bush administration invoked it premised on the September 11 attacks.
In September 2010, President Barack Obama informed Congress that the State of National Emergency in effect since September 14, 2001, will be extended another year.
The National Emergencies Act grants various powers to the president during times of emergency, and was intended to prevent a president from declaring a state of emergency of indefinite duration.
