Former Health Secretary Pushes for VeriChip Implants
An anonymous reader writes "Tommy Thompson, the former Bush Health Secretary after implanting a chip into himself, is going to submit a proposal within the next 50 days to promote it for everyone in the USA. VeriChip spokesperson John Procter said 'virtually everyone could benefit from having a chip inserted.' Enjoy your assimilation in the land of the free, citizen."
There's been alot of messages from God regarding that the chip implants are "the mark of the beast" spoke of in Revelations. We are blind and do not see it but what was spoke of in Revelations is coming true right before our eyes. God says their going to try to talk us into getting a chip implant, and make it seem like it's for the good of everybody, but they want to control us further and it will go so far as into a one world order...Anybody who gets a chip implant will be going to hell... Here is just one of many messages from God about how to love...http://www.sofc.org/APOSTLEBK/am_ch17.htm>. .i cant find the messages about the third world war, the chip implants, and the prophecy of many things such as tidal waves the death of the pope and how the new pope would be the anti-pope...but its out there...from sister louise tomkiel i believe....
Time is running out our only duty now is to flee the U.S. or find the santuaries where we dont have to get the chip implanted to escape the US Government
"most Christians actually want to stave off the end times"
Did you do a poll or something to figure this out? What was the results 56% against Satan taking over the earth, 44% for and 10% have never heard of Satan?
This source, which I am sure is as above reproach as your data says 85% of bible scholars believe in the rapture. The rapture is a BOOMING business in fundamentalist Christian circle these days, especially thanks to the Internet.
To use your phrasing, and with the assurance my poll has as much validity as yours... "most" born agains who subscribe to the rapture are bursting with anticipation of the end times so they can be called to heaven and on the way up can have the last laugh as all the non believers and worshipers of false gods burn in hell.
"That doesn't necessarily mean that all Christians will oppose things like implantable RFID tags"
I wager "most" can with suitable conditioning(i.e. nightmare scenarios of danger and insecurity) be made to see this as essential to their security, essential to "protect the children", essential to being able to identify bad elements in society. Pre 2001 I would have though it impossible that Americans would stand for national ID cards and those were authorized as an obscure provision in the recent nation intelligence "reform" act and are now nearly inevitable, and will no doubt be chipped in one way or another.
If this company wants a slam dunk way to get support for this all they need to do is point out all sex offenders will have these tags, their tag information will be made available on the Internet, and they will market do it yourself readers so you to can instantly identify if there are sex offenders within 100 feet of your home. You could hook it up to an alarm so if sex offender gets near your home alarms will sound and the police will be notified.
Another slam dunk way to sell it, with tiny ethical problems, you could maybe put mandatory religious preference and ethnic identifiers in the chip so you could setup alarms to go off if Muslims, Atheists, or whatever ethnic or religious group you despise gets to close to you, your children or your home.
