Woman Tells State Judiciary Committee, "DoD Implanted A Microchip Inside Me"

The Georgia House Judiciary Committee took up a bill that would "prohibit requiring a person to be implanted with a microchip," and would make violating the ban a misdemeanor. Things started to get weird at the hearing when a woman who described herself as a resident of DeKalb County told the committee, "I'm also one of the people in Georgia who has a microchip." Not sure of what she was trying to say, she was allowed to continue and added, "Microchips are like little beepers. Just imagine, if you will, having a beeper in your rectum or genital area, the most sensitive area of your body. And your beeper numbers displayed on billboards throughout the city. All done without your permission." Further prodding revealed that the woman's co-workers would torture her by activating the chips with their cell phones and that the chips were implanted by "researchers with the federal government." The committee thanked the woman for her input, and later approved the bill.

    Is that while the woman in question is almost definitely out to lunch, and could probably use some psych help, the notion that somebody would implant a microchip in you has gone from "automatically crazy" to "must be dismissed as crazy based on the specific facts of the case".

    Welcome to the future.

    ...it was probably CDC, not the DoD, that did it. CDC is based in a neighboring county (Fulton) and has offices in Dekalb. Definitely not county officials, though. The county police just shoot people.

    Driving home after two beers or smoking the wrong plant is a more serious crime than planning on sticking a microchip under someone's skin for the explicit purpose of tracking them.

    Weird priorities.

    Christian eschatology declares that the End Times will see a split of the human race into faithful and the non-believers. The faithful will not take the "Mark of the Beast" and will suffer economically because of it. By rejecting the MotB, they will be excluded from all transactions and be essentially outcasts from the new society.

    However, because of their steadfastness, they will not be condemned to hell upon the second coming of Jesus. Those who take the Mark will be torn asunder and cast into the pits of hell.

    Many believe that the MotB is or will be something similar to this type of microchip implant. By grafting the mark to a person, any transaction can be monitored and tracked. This is one of the methods of governmental control via the MotB.

    This lady was clearly insane. But there are MANY people out there who believe in exactly what I wrote above. These are your neighbors, Americans.

      Just adapt the preterist interpretation of the Book of Revelation and you'll be fine.

      Shouldn't a religious interpretation be based on what you believe the applicable holy book actually says, not what you want it to mean? The 'just interpret it like this' method is what brings us Muslim terrorism and the Westboro Baptist Church's "God Hates Fags" go-out-and-protest-a-funeral tactics.

      Personally, I find the preterist view fails to explain many bits, not least of which was the mark of the beast. When were Jews forced to receive a phyiscal marking in order to perform commerce?

    Everyone knows vaginal-rectal tracking is Martian territory, not the Department of Defense. The taint is pure red planet; DoD has an oral fixation. Doesn't anyone research these things?

    Just proves that they are educated evil and too stupid smart to understand implanted tracking devices and timecubes.

      Everybody knows, eh? God, another one who swallowed Their propaganda hook, line and sinker. Listen, I keep it short, because I gotta change location soon - here is some advice: The conspiracy you read about, and especially, the conspiracy everybody knows, is not The True Conspiracy. It is propaganda planted by Them, things They want you to believe. I can't go into detail, this is not a secure line. But look at what the known conspiracies do NOT have in common. That is the path to The Truth. You can kiss your quiet life goodbye if you find out, though, maybe your life as such. Gotta go, been here too long already. THINK!

  7. absolutely true story: by circletimessquare · · Score: 5, Funny

    there was a little old lady who used to stand on 42nd street and eighth avenue handing out little pamphlets about how the devil was always trying to corrupt you via external means (i love picking up religious literature from the kooks in times square to analyze their words for entertainment value: reference timecube.com). according to her screed, one way was by putting a microchip in a grain of rice you would eat, another way from a stranger shaking your hand in such a way that 666 would be formed in the curl of their fingers, evil eyes, etc.

    anyway, one day on the way to the port authority bus terminal i went into a store right near the little old lady to get a yogurt and a can of diet soda. the total came to $3.34, and i gave him a $10. the guy was insistent on me taking my receipt. i went outside and thought i would take another pamphlet from the old lady to see if she had updated her shpiel. randomly and without intent, i gave her my receipt as i took her pamphlet

    my receipt that said $10 minus $3.34 change: $6.66

    i never saw that little old lady again

    coincidence? or was i AN UNWITTING TOOL OF THE DEVIL

    This woman sounds pretty nuts.

    That said, I've got a colleague, ex-military, NOT a crank, who says the US Army implanted a glass-tube into his hand much like the one pictured - without his knowledge or consent. It was implanted while he was out during an unrelated surgery.

    The implanted tube irritated him enough that he was regularly scratching it, and he eventually dug it out of his skin - and was surprised to see the foreign object.

    The same guy has never spouted any nutty theories to me, never was paranoid about being tracked - just mentioned this experience.

    For my part, I figured it was the Army experimenting with ways to inventory their humans, and maybe to posthumously ID them.
