Thus far, Silverman says, only about 600 people in the United States have embedded VeriChip transponders.

I expect facial and retinal recognition software will make any attempt to use chips in people passe.

You guys are missing it, it will be in your bloodstream. You see it on TV, well they can do it but there working to actually put in your system. You won't know it, go in for flu shot, woops you got tagged.
crimvelvet... try a lead foil lined pouch instead for your drivers license.

Do not be too sure of that.
In practical terms, here is what the new law means. Joe’s Plumbing prints up 100 color presentations at FedEx Kinko’s for a trade show in New Orleans, where they are staying at a Holiday Inn for six days.
At a minimum, Joe’s Plumbing will have to contact FedEx Kinko’s, the airline, Holiday Inn, the rental car company, and the organization sponsoring the trade show and get taxpayer identification numbers from them so they can comply with this tax law. The company will then have to send out 1099 forms to each of these vendors and dozens, hundreds or thousands more vendors, depending upon the size of the company, thus adding significant compliance costs to every business in America. Everyone from a company’s accountant, to building supplier, to carpet cleaner to janitorial service will be trading 1099 forms.
Yes, that’s right, trading 1099 forms, because at the same time, Joe’s Plumbing will also be receiving 1099 forms from every one of their business customers who spent more than $600 with them over the course of the year, which they will be required to keep and reconcile against their books.
Do you have any wonder why Joe’s Plumbing might be more than a tad bit irritated? The new Obama health care takeover just took a guy with a pipe wrench, pvc pipe and a plunger and forced him into Dante’s eighth circle of hell – tracking and filing IRS paperwork...

most rfid chips are passive, there are some active chips that have battery power but are more expensive.
if they start implanting chip , they might do both and increase the strength of the readers,
and start placing the readers where there are security cameras and red light cameras.

Actually all they have to do is place a reader in automobiles and have the signal relayed.

Well, I'm not much of a history buff, so I am unable to pull facts from previous presidencies and connect dots like some people can. All I can do is speak to what is currently going on. Whether or not Obama first started it, I have no idea, but he is the first President I have seen that has ACTIVELY made LARGE strides to overturn Amendments and boldly circumvent processes that the other presidents you mentioned actually followed. Two parties is how our fore fathers decided to start our government - that was decided back with Thomas Jefferson/Hancock/Washington, etc. It may not have been how the pilgrims envisioned their new found freedom, but those who fought for our freedom from England decided it was okay to have a two party system. I think it wasn't until late 1800's or early 1900's that decided to have a Federal Reserve - again, I am not a history person. However, it wasn't until Clinton that we had the NAFTA agreement and that greatly changed the way our country trades with other countries. Since then, our country has been on a downhill slope, from what I remember. I was in high school when Reagan was in the White House. So I am not able to speak to his Presidency.
You do not know anything about me personally, so I am taking your comment as if you are sterotyping me with those who don't keep up with politics. It is not that I don't care about politics. I just don't grasp politics and history like some people do. That does not mean that I don't care. And it does NOT mean I am part of the problem. It just means I am not ever going to be a great politician. I do make efforts to understand and I DO vote and I did NOT VOTE for Obama!

Yeah this is the first part of the control grid.
Chip the dumb trendies then scan thier movements and log thier behavioral habits.
Dossier time!
So, how is that proving that "all americans will be chipped by 2017", which is ridiculous on the face of it.

What ever happened to 'read BEFORE you sign' ??? I would think that would be MOST important for government bills, laws, contracts, etc.
