If GW gets his way--soon we'll need RFID tags and implants to move our livestock from pasture to pasture-or haul them to a roping-or sell them- and an RFID card to get on a plane or public transportation...Implanted microchips are already being used in some countries (Japan and China) to identify school children- and being promoted in the US for everyone for tracking medical conditions....Vehicles already chipped and able to be tracked anywhere (as well as open your door- or call a wrecker for you)- some even with little black box recorders that record all the info prior to a crash....

Its Orwelian scarie!!!

RFID Panopticon

It’s sold in the Washington Post — the CIA’s favorite newspaper — as a wonderful world of convenience come true for consumers:

“RFID-enabled refrigerators could warn about expired milk, generate weekly shopping lists, even send signals to your interactive TV, so that you see ‘personalized’ commercials for foods you have a history of buying. Sniffers in your microwave might read a chip-equipped TV dinner and cook it without instruction… Companies say the RFID tags improve supply-chain efficiency, cut theft, and guarantee that brand-name products are authentic, not counterfeit. At a store, RFID doorways could scan your purchases automatically as you leave, eliminating tedious checkouts.”

Excuse me, but I’ll take the tedium.

The problem, critics say, is that microchipped products might very well do a whole lot more.

With tags in so many objects, relaying information to databases that can be linked to credit and bank cards, almost no aspect of life may soon be safe from the prying eyes of corporations and governments, says Mark Rasch, former head of the computer-crime unit of the U.S. Justice Department.



By placing sniffers in strategic areas, companies can invisibly “rifle through people’s pockets, purses, suitcases, briefcases, luggage — and possibly their kitchens and bedrooms — anytime of the day or night,” says Rasch, now managing director of technology at FTI Consulting Inc., a Baltimore-based company.

In an RFID world, “You’ve got the possibility of unauthorized people learning stuff about who you are, what you’ve bought, how and where you’ve bought it … It’s like saying, ‘Well, who wants to look through my medicine cabinet?’”

He imagines a time when anyone from police to identity thieves to stalkers might scan locked car trunks, garages or home offices from a distance. “Think of it as a high-tech form of Dumpster diving,” says Rasch, who’s also concerned about data gathered by “spy” appliances in the home.

Forget identity thieves and stalkers — a distinct minority — and worry about the government using this technology, not to discover what’s in your medicine cabinet per se — by way of HIPAA and Section 215 of the Patriot Act, they may already know this — but rather to keep track of pesky enemies of the state, or would-be enemies of the state, the sort who actually believe they have a right to challenge the government, or even mildly petition it.

For autocrats, a world embedded with a constellation of ubiquitous RFID sensors would be ideal. “A Panopticon Singularity is the logical outcome if the burgeoning technologies of the singularity are funneled into automating law enforcement,” writes Charlie Stross. “Previous police states were limited by manpower, but the panopticon singularity substitutes technology, and ultimately replaces human conscience with a brilliant but merciless prosthesis.”



As Stross notes, the state will use this technology to go after the malcontents and troublemakers, but they will also use it against pedestrian criminals, those minus political persuasion:

If a panopticon singularity emerges, you’d be well advised to stay away from Massachusetts if you and your partner aren’t married. Don’t think about smoking a joint unless you want to see the inside of one of the labor camps where over 50% of the population sooner or later go. Don’t jaywalk, chew gum in public, smoke, exceed the speed limit, stand in front of fire exit routes, or wear clothing that violates the city dress code (passed on the nod in 1892, and never repealed because everybody knew nobody would enforce it and it would take up valuable legislative time). You won’t be able to watch those old DVD’s of ‘Friends’ you copied during the naughty oughties because if you stick them in your player it’ll call the copyright police on you. You’d better not spend too much time at the bar, or your insurance premiums will rocket and your boss might ask you to undergo therapy. You might be able to read a library book or play a round of a computer game, but your computer will be counting the words you read and monitoring your pulse so that it can bill you for the excitement it has delivered.

In a totalitarian society we “are all criminals,” or at least easy marks ready to be fleeced by a sociopathic elite.

I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. The Republicans seem to be intent on dismantling the constitution "for our safety" and there doesn't appear to be significant democratic support to slow it down at all. Even when the facts are laid out and the whole scheme is exposed, the neocon apologists keep claiming it is good.

Perhaps I should steal Porkers comments here......... "and ScoringAG can track all this very easily" ............ I'm just teasing you porker.


If anyone listened to McCain's comments this am on CNN.... he says the Nation's security is #1 and the economy comes after.... how the dumb people here in the US could be following him to slaughter is beyond me ....

The long goal plan OT, is that this chip will be in your finger or forehead and you will do your banking from it (there will be no cash money this chip will serve as the ATM), access doors, literally it will give you access to everything, and without it you will not be able to buy or go anywhere. This is just the physops conditioning to get people to accept it. They continue scaring techniques, saying our country doesn't want another 911 in order to take away citizens rights and the sovereignty of our country......... if they were so worried about our security then UNSECURE borders are the first place to start and we all know where that's at.

Yep-- I've had a pretty hard time buying their "its for national security" bullpuckey with the Patriot Act, FISA, Mandatory ID, The REAL ID ACT, etc., etc.- and the fact we should graciously give up our constitutional rights - when they continously refuse to secure our borders and/or adequately scrutinize the products that are coming into our country..... :(

Looks like a snowjob to me....During WWII-We were fighting an evil and suicidal foe (Japan) too- that was trying to (and did) launch attacks on the US mainland...Our Border and Internal security then was much greater than it is now- with more Border Patrol, Military, Coast Guard, volunteer coast patrol, local wardens, etc. etc. And now with the technology it is- 1 person with the right type of WMD can cause much more disastrous affects- but little is being done from allowing anyone from coming or going as they please... :roll:

GW's helping his elitist buddies profiteer thru an open globalism free trading (cheap foreign products of unknown quality from anywhere, along with semi-slave labor from Mexico and Central America) is more important to him than the rights and safety of the US citizen.... :( But we peons should make all types of concessions on our actions and rights :( :mad: :mad:

Wasn't that how Russia lost the Cold War?

I would not be so quick to point a finger at Republicans on an issue like this. If you ever listen to Conservative Talk Radio you would see it being Conservatives against such a thing. And if it is proposed it will be conservatives fighting it and less government control not the liberals.

Liberals will just disguise their interest in some sort of humanity issue of protecting children of feeding the poor to give the government more power over the people.
