They sell a RFID experimentation kit.

Some people are just predisposed to needing a “big brother” it would seem.

Please share your understanding of this.

God might be a higher organic form from another world, I’ll grant you that. But the humanized God idea is a phony. It’s an ideal, a wish, by folks who cannot handle reality. It’s crowd control.

Jesus… the real guy… would have nothing to do with today’s churches. Jesus the myth, is who you love and follow. Good luck dudes!

The Bible is not worth belief. In fact, nothing is.

Do you need to believe in gravity for it to work? No. It’s the same with ANY truth. It’s all testable.

The Revelation of John is psychobabble. The entire Bible has been written and modified over and over by men. Whole chunks thrown out that didn’t fit the scheme of the editors. There is no God. Just greedy men out to control people. And religions do this quite well. Look at the wealth in the Vatican!

“Have faith!… and just follow” they say. I say “Bullshit!… Have a brain and think for yourself! And you will discover what TRUTH really is.”

Prophecy… fortunetelling… it’s all ‘an odds game’ just above the average intellect.
Again, all of it testable.

And the point of prophecy?… to make the reader stop thinking and start blindly following. Same with miracles. For if the prophecy is true, or the miracle is real, then I MUST stop thinking any questioning thoughts… and just follow, follow, follow.

Isn’t it just like psychics?
They always ask questions. But why?
Don’t they know everything?
And do they ever win the lottery?

So look… If you want to be a religious person… fine. But do so behind closed doors.

Just the same as smoking cigarettes, smoking pot or engaging in consenting adult sex. It’s called “Freedom”.

But do keep all of these, especially religion, away from children. For this virus called “Religion” has caused more deaths, pain and destruction on this globe, than any other thing.

And by the way… What’s a curse? …you superstitious fool.

Humans will believe anything first exposed to as children. And when you cross against stupid beliefs… they suddenly become very un-Christian like and kill… in the name of their god.

4,200 religions world-wide. We gots us an epidemic, Jethro!

So if you’re a Christian and what I’ve said makes you angry, please consider that in your anger YOU ARE SINNING!!!

You’re supposed to forgive and turn the other cheek… you cheeky monkey.

Now lighten up and go have a great day.

It’s not journalism… just the latest tabloid trash. The author wants you to think highly of the IBM former employee, who worked there 31 years. That should give him lots of inside knowledge, right?

Well IBM has thousands of ‘employees.’ Maybe he was a Janitor before he worked his way all the way up to ‘Sales support’. Wow!!! Let’s see, that means he was lower than a salesman? And it was at that level he stayed for the last 15-years! He figured his stay at IBM was going nowhere, so he leaves and tries to write books, siting his impressive career.

The author also downplays the FCC official he quotes (anon.) at the end. That official may very well be one who truly knows, and is being honest. So glad he was included so well!

I’m just saying that one should think and not just follow and fear. The concept of RFID chips is a wonderful thing for many applications. It’s only the extreme application that seems threatening. And that’s no different than anything out there.

Heck, in writing this comment I was REQUIRED to give my email address. Perhaps I should write an article about the dangers of ‘THEM’ not liking what we comment, and coming after us with guns and knives!

The chipping of pets and goods can avoid so much loss and pain. Chipping some people, could do the same. Leaping to assume that all of us are soon to follow, is where this story gets meaningless… and hollow.

I do hope they chip all Bibles tho.

Never sell your freedom for some none needed security ! ( even the needed one ! haha ! )

17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

But, as Rev. 14 says, taking the “mark” will be the worst choice any one made. To qualify for the mark you will have had to worship antichrist.
I exhort all to worship God through His Son the Lord Jesus Christ.

Thanks.

This is not strictly true. The passive chips only contain (and emit) a unique ID. To gain that detailed information would mean that the unique ID has to be linked to databases which can use that ID as an index to whatever information is stored against that ID.

That we are moving in that direction is definite but the point still remains that ALL of the information is stored in seperate, often un-connected databases and NOT on the chip itself.

A steel case works.

here’s an easy experiment to do: take a cellular phone or cordless phone and fold it up completely in a piece of aluminized mylar or aluminum foil. if you leave so much as a thin crack open, the signal will get thru. if you completely seal it up then it does a pretty good job of blocking the signal.

so you’re probably right about the stainless wallet. it could be due to a loose mesh allowing some of the rf signal thru but most likely its due to the edges of the wallet not closing together fully.

The fact remains Glenn Beck has almost single-handedly exposed the EVIL of Barack Hussein Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and the entire so-called liberal progressive movement… aka, Socialism, Communism, Marxism, Stalinism…et al.

Thanks for the dprogram link. I may repost this one later…

That is true but the physical infrastructure for these frequencies already exist under the guise of TV station hardware etc…

Also Google actually come out a few years ago and stated that they had been “researching” passing “the internet” across this bandwidth because it was to become “empty” and unused. They made a quite detailed video of it and suggested it was a great way to get the internet into every house hold through their existing TV aerial by using this medium and existing frequencies. (basically free internet.) But that idea quickly disappeared and now we have Google working on Google Health, along with partnering with IBM to develop a platform for the next level in health care technology and it’s all about RFID chips and “smarter healthcare”

“smarter healthcare” care of IBM marketing.

An ex-IBM employee has also blown the whistle on the subject.

Money is a token of exchange. In a market based economy those tokens are used to solve a continuous supply/demand problem. Arbitrarily changing the number of tokens to maintain the price of carrots say, ignores the changes that are occurring in the supply and demand of everything else in the system.

Ideally the supply of tokens should be maintained as a constant, since allowing it to vary doesn’t provide any additional useful economic information and in fact distorts the information that the price relationship should be providing. Owing to some deep rooted malfunctions in the regulatory processes which are not well understood by economics, this doesn’t happen, and to some extent a lot of current economic theory simply consists of excuses to justify this. Better to concentrate on the problem, not the excuse.

Debt is not money. Correct. Debt is an agreed exchange over time of payments of money – this means debt is a flow. Within the existing system there is the complication that the supply of part of this debt is regulated by a process simultaneously influences the money supply – that’s the fractional reserve banking issue.

Incidentally, the Savings and Loan crisis began in the late seventies, and nobody who lived through the early seventies would describe that period using the word ’stability’.

But if you have a link to him promising to extend operations in afghanistan during the campaign, I’d like to see that.

And I’m very curious why he thinks we “should be fighting” in Afghanistan. Must be cause the terrists’ hit us on 9/11 and everything changed.

Funny, it doesn’t sound any truer when a democrat says it.

Besides… we still have troops in BOTH iraq and afghanistan, and now pakistan and iran.

So people who believe in the 2nd amendment are terrorists, even though it says we have the right to bare arms and form militias.

one can create ad hoc virtual encrypted networks inside those packets, but ultimately which hosts and ISPs have their traffic allowed or blocked is up to the people on the major backbones. the physical infastructure of the net is not terribly de-centralized. the content and hosts are, but not the network itself.

i’ve been interested in creating a totally distributed routing protocol that uses radio transcievers such as wi-fi routers, instead of phone/cable lines.

I’m just saying…

From Sec 1203 HR 1388

‘(1) ELIGIBLE ENTITIES- The term ‘eligible entity’ means a State education agency, a State Commission, a Territory, an Indian tribe, an institution of higher education, or a public or private nonprofit organization (including community-based organizations), a public or private elementary or secondary school, a local educational agency, or a consortia of such entities, where a consortia of two or more such entities may also include a for-profit organization.

‘(2) YOUTH ENGAGEMENT ZONE- The term ‘youth engagement zone’ means the area in which a youth engagement zone program is carried out.

‘(3) YOUTH ENGAGEMENT ZONE PROGRAM- The term ‘youth engagement zone program’ means a service learning program in which members of an eligible partnership described in paragraph (4) collaborate to provide coordinated school-based or community-based service learning opportunities, to address a specific community challenge, for an increasing percentage of out-of-school youth and secondary school students served by local educational agencies where–

‘(A) not less than 90 percent of the students participate in service-learning activities as part of the program; or

‘(B) service-learning is a mandatory part of the curriculum in all of the secondary schools served by the local educational agency.

Right there it says any school anywhere has to have at least 90% of the students willingly participating in the program, and if not it is mandatory. This is double talk, which makes it sound like it isn’t mandotry, as long as you do it. So if 90% of the students do it, its not mandatory, but if less than 90% are doing it, it becomes mandatory. Either way IT’S MANDATORY regardless of the semantics involved. I mean come on… we won’t make you do it as long as you do it willingly???

There are provisions in the bill for “out of school” individuals as well as seniors. While not covered entirely in a single section, throughout the bill all age groups are covered. I encourage you to read it for yourself.

If the government can’t force you to join, then the rest of your argument is moot. So let’s see that full text.

In Australia the government uses rebates on rain water tanks to encourage us to collect it.

Granted we have been battling some crippling droughts which have put major pressure on our water infrastructure.

How about this? How about they expand the land allocated to state parks in the Rocky’s. More uninhabited land = more snow landing on public property without the people to make use of (or pollute) it = more runoff and more water in our waterways. It is my understanding that snowmelt is our primary source of water.
