Rival, all BS aside here a realistic scenario for the implementation of the RFID chip.
You call up Pizza Hut and order a pizza. Pay for it VIA chip. Next month you health insurance premium is doubled six months because they saw your pizza purchase and have now decided you pose a higher risk for heart attack. So in order too make you stop eating pizza, they double your insurance for six months.
So, now, let's say your having financial problems cause your health insurance doubled. So you don't pay your car insurance, again VIA your chip.
So, next week you get onto the highway to go to work and your car chip (which works in concert with your RFID chip) now triggers a police response because your RFID chip says you missed your car ins payment 7 days ago and you should not be driving.
So now the police are behind you within a mile of you getting on the highway that now taxes you per mile Via your car and RFID chip instantly every time you access an on ramp. So anyway, there behind you. And they cut off your car/RFID chip so you stall and pull over. Now, the police arrest you, book you, and seize all monies on your RFID chip instantly because you forfeited your right to use the chip because you committed a misdemeanor.
Do you get the picture? It's ALL about government and is business control.

Facial or iris recognition will start rolling out soon, and the whole implant thing's moot, at least until people figure out that they can wear scleral lenses with iris prints on and face appliances.

in which are described what are known as tefillin. A purpose of tefillin is to demonstrate you carry God's word in your deeds and thoughts. The mark would then more likely consist of your willing vow to do the work of the anti-Christ than any physical mark or little gold star on your drivers' license.

Obscuring your biometrics is not the point at all, its about giving your biometrics to your government to begin with. You can dig an implanted chip out from your skin with little more then an exacto blade and a bit of pressure, but you're never getting your biometrics back out of the governments new database system.
You should look into the meaning of being a Roman Citizen, and what that “rights” that conveyed, as well as why God had issue with the Roman Empire, to better understand.
Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.
Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.
For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.
Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

We were not born automatons. We are born human and of flesh with our free will intact. Born with a soul inside that free will. To be chipped is to have given away all of this and more. Your freedom, your free will and your soul.

In a situation where you are using those things for every day life, I think it is naive to think that there wouldn't be a significant amount of radiation going on.
Thieves are able to target credit cards and the like because of RFID chips inside them, so please do not tell me that there is no risk involved in having one of those things implanted inside me as far as identity theft goes.
Also, glass and hard plastic, huh? Didn't know that, but it actually makes it worse. Nothing like having glass and a petroleum by product inside me. Sounds like a great idea.
And I think it's perfectly reasonable to wonder why we need a chip when we already have the technology to be able to use things like fingerprints and iris scans.

What's the downside to having a personally implanted RFID chip?
No need to carry ID
So what's the downside?edit on 12-11-2012 by rival because: (no reason given)

To start with the EMF pulses that the current RFID chips cause cancer.
Second, why would you want to be tracked like a unit of livestock.
If you don't think the criminals are two steps ahead of the government you are wrong. Do you not think a pedophile will use the tracking information to establish a pattern of how a child walks home?

In conjunction with a Universal ID number and RFID implantation everything is automated for the Insurance companies and whomever else has that has the money to do so. Your going to get your RFID chip. I think we all agree with that. Just remember what I said.... You'll see... I won't argue assumptions with you..

Revelation 13:
13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. 15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. 16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, 17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

So, when the implants don't happen and everything's done with biometrics, are you gonna gouge out your eyes and whack off an ear like vanGogh?
I guess in a literal sense, I DO have an RFID chip - two of them actually - one around my neck in my ID at the customer site and another in a butt-bumper in my wallet. Nope, three, one's on my keychain. I have to have them to get into my place of business or the customer's site.
Sort of handy, actually, if my hands are full, we have an interrogator at butt height, I can half-turn and butt-bump the reader and the outside door on the squeeze chute will open. That gets you in out of the weather, although you've still got to enter a PIN AND use a key, or be identified by camera if someone's already there to get out of the chute. It's sort of tiresome to be the first guy there in the morning if we're not working shifts.

But I will say. If you think that RFID will NOT bring about MAJOR privacy erosions then I think you are nieve to what's going on around you. And have been for sometime, that is, if you've been on this planet for 30+ years or so.

I see it as a technology that was superseded before it was implemented. While most of the posters on the thread are all worried about a minor boogeyman in the form of a chip implant, they're rolling out biometrics based on gait, frame, face structure and iris print.
Heck, on top of which there's a really big distributed computer network that already has a good handle on what your voice sounds like. I would not have believed how good it is at listening to a conversation and identifying people had I not seen it. Still sort of heavy on the computation, but that's why you need really huge new digital signal processor systems, I suppose.
