It's a good technical school.
Well how about taking a stab at debunking the whole rfid thing? Let's see your arguments for or against? For instance, why don't you wow us with your knowledge of how many MHz a typical rfid chip will operate on? No fair peeking at Google.
Other than that, I think you have zero technical knowledge of the subject. If you do, let's have it.edit on 22-9-2012 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)

I'm waiting. You should already have your technical reply posted.
I see you still have not posted your technical response. I am inclined to think that whereas you have ridiculed me and ridiculed a technical school but have not been able to even post on this subject in the most remotely technical manner, I will consider that you may not have any knowledge of the subject at all but are merely posting fluff and looking for people to insult.
Well, that's the end of it then. You stayed just long enough to hit me over the head with a two by four and likely you have moved on to the next thread where you will hit someone else with a hit and run comment.
Good work man, good work...

You of all people would support this Orwellian nightmare? You think it is justifiable to start implanting chips in people? It starts out with a voluntary thing, then somehow everyone is being forced, just like Obamacare. It's part of the One World Totalitarian agenda.
You are willingly submitting to Big Brother because you think it's a superior way for parents to keep track of kids?

Hi there..
Im new here, and this is the only forum im allowed to post my findings in atm. So i hope someone will read it here since i think its of importance..
Here goes:
I just stumbled upon a little article that i think i should share with you guys. It would be interesting to know if its just me seeing things that actually are not there or if there really is more to the story than they let us know.. Anyway, Nestlé is pushing for their new campaing called "We Will Find You". The commercial can be seen here:
Nestlé 'We Will Find You'
The campaing can be easily described like this: Buy one of the chocolate bars that has an GPS chip embedded in the wrapping. When the wrapping is opened the GPS chip is activated and if you are the lucky winner Nestlé will find you within 24 hours and give you a cash prize of £10,000. Heres an article about the campaign
So they will put a GPS chip in the paper of a chocolate bar just to find some lucky guy/girl and give them the money? Personally i dont think its that simple. I have a bad feeling that they are going to use the GPS thing in some more sinister way.
I did some research on the Nestlé company, and i wasn't very surprised when i found out that the chairmain and former CEO Peter Brabeck-Lethmate en.wikipedia.org... could be found on the list of attendees at the Bilderberg meetings
(source: truthquake.com... ).
So if what some people say about the Bilderbergs are true (im thinking of the de-population of the earth thing here), then things are getting a bit scary. Could it be that they put something in the chocolate that makes us sick in someway and want the GPS thing to be able to track who and which parts of the country that have gotten "infected"? Nestlé have been trying to kill of poor people in Africa before by selling bad breast milk substitute since the early '70s. You can read more about that here:
en.wikipedia.org...
What do you guys think of this? Is it just me that is being paranoid or is there really something to look out for here? I wont be buying any Nestlé chocolate bars again, thats for sure.
And, btw, this is my first real post here and english is not my first language so if i have done any mistakes or broken any posting rules...sorry

It is important. It shows how easily people will go along with the whole tracking and chipping program and how to get them used to it.
And using chocolate,too!
Have they no shame? Is nothing sacred?
But that video....yep,they're telling us just how easy it will be to sweep down on us. I would deliberately not buy those candy bars ever again on account of it!edit on 21-9-2012 by On the Edge because: (no reason given)
Then why does it say...
" six chocolate bars will have a GPS chip hidden inside the wrapper; when the wrapper is taken off the bar, it will activate the chip"?
here is a GPS Very small - 3.9cm*1.2cm*2.7cm Weight: only 23g
www.amazon.co.uk...
Wonder if their is even smaller. That is pretty tiny though.
Oh yeah they have the tiny tiny ones they put in pets.

Exactly what i was thinking at first.
BUT, if you know that your chocolate bar wrapper could be worth 10.000 pounds, wouldn't you keep it?
That is why I said, other than the promise of prize money. So how many people is this contest going to snare and what good is it going to be the day after the winner is announced? I am not buying a chocolate bar and carrying the wrapper with me just because I might win a prize but I am sure many will. Enough to pull of whatever Nestle's diabolical plan is? I guess that is possible but I am leaning toward not likely. I guess I was mostly aiming at the idea that this is conditioning or some grand long term plan. A few people who buy chocolate bars will remember to keep theirs for a little while and then throw them out. It still seems like a pretty weak plan to me.

OK, here is the deal. I do not know you. I cannot hear your tone of voice. If you are joking, the only way to tell is by the content of your post. Have you noticed all the crazy I am responding too? Your post fit right in. I would like to apologize for not getting your joke but if you cannot read this thread and see why your post looked serious then I guess you should apologize for not being more funny.

I think when they say "inside the wrapper" they mean, like a candy bar is inside the wrapper, as opposed to being hidden in the wrapper lining itself..

That is small, but certainly not stealthy enough to hide in a wrapper lining.

That would be small enough, but I think you might be confusing GPS trackers with ID chips, The tiny ones they put under the pet's skin are ID chips. If your pet gets lost, someone has to take it someplace, like Animal Control or a vet, that scans pets for the ID chip. Then the ID can be linked up with the chip provider's database to reunite Fluffy with family.
There are external GPS collars for pets, but they are a bit bulky and have limited battery life.
This one is pretty cool... You can track you pet on a smartphone app.
Tagg Pet Tracker
So, with the information we have (so far) about this promotion, the fact that the device must send out information regarding it's location rather than being scanned at a predetermined location, leads me to believe that it must be something with some bulk that can't possibly go unnoticed by the customer, but rather is hidden in something the shape of a candy bar, so that customers won't know which ones have the devices. Once the wrapper is removed, then the battery life clock starts ticking.
I also have to assume there is some language printed on or with the device, indicating that the customer should not toss it in the trash and that 10,000 big ones are coming their way, along with contest rules, disclaimers, etc.

I have a feeling it's more like them easing us into acceptance of being tracked. You know, sort of like rewarding an animal for accepting your terms for it's behavior. Pretty soon, more and more products will have it and we'll anxiously await the next one.
As far as tracking, they can pretty much pinpoint every item to within a very small area by point of sale scanning.I'm not sure if they really need to track it to your house. They can already tell you bought it by your electronic transactions unless you buy it with cash. Just my opinion.
Celera initially announced that it would seek patent protection on "only 200–300" genes, but later amended this to seeking "intellectual property protection" on "fully-characterized important structures" amounting to 100–300 targets. The firm eventually filed preliminary ("place-holder") patent applications on 6,500 whole or partial genes. Celera also promised to publish their findings in accordance with the terms of the 1996 "Bermuda Statement," by releasing new data annually (the HGP released its new data daily), although, unlike the publicly funded project, they would not permit free redistribution or scientific use of the data.
I think when they say "inside the wrapper" they mean, like a candy bar is inside the wrapper, as opposed to being hidden in the wrapper lining itself..
There are four different kinds of tags commonly in use. They are categorized by their radio frequency: Low frequency tags (between 125 to 134 kilohertz), High frequency tags (13.56 megahertz), UHF tags (868 to 956 megahertz), and Microwave tags (2.45 gigahertz). UHF tags cannot be used globally as there aren't any global regulations for their usage.
An RFID system may consist of several components: tags, tag readers, tag programming stations, circulation readers, sorting equipment, and tag inventory wands. Security can be handled in two ways. Security gates can query the ILS to determine its security status or the tag may contain a security bit which would be turned on and off by circulation or self-check reader stations.
The purpose of an RFID system is to enable data to be transmitted by a portable device, called a tag, which is read by an RFID reader and processed according to the needs of a particular application. The data transmitted by the tag may provide identification or location information, or specifics about the product tagged, such as price, color, date of purchase, etc. The use of RFID in tracking and access applications first appeared during the 1980s. RFID quickly gained attention because of its ability to track moving objects. As the technology is refined, more pervasive—and invasive—uses for RFID tags are in the works.
In a typical RFID system, individual objects are equipped with a small, inexpensive tag. The tag contains a transponder with a digital memory chip that is given a unique electronic product code. The interrogator, an antenna packaged with a transceiver and decoder, emits a signal activating the RFID tag so it can read and write data to it. When an RFID tag passes through the electromagnetic zone, it detects the reader's activation signal. The reader decodes the data encoded in the tag's integrated circuit (silicon chip) and the data is passed to the host computer for processing.
