Injectable chip opens door to 'human bar code' By Charles J. Murray (01/04/02, 12:27 p.m. EST) Radio-frequency identification chips, which have found a home in applications ranging from toll road passes to smart retail shelves, may be close to taking up residence in the human body. A Florida-based company has introduced a passive RFID chip that is compatible with human tissue, and the developer is proposing the chip for use on implantable pacemakers, defibrillators and artificial joints. The company, Applied Digital Solutions (Palm Beach, Fla.), also said that the chip could be injected through a syringe and used as a sort of "human bar code" in security applications. Called the VeriChip, the device could open up a broad new segment for the $900 million-a-year RFID business, especially if society embraces the idea of using microchips for human identification. Applied Digital executives ultimately believe that the worldwide market for such implantable chips could reach $70 billion per year. "The human market for this technology could be huge," said Keith Bolton, senior vice president of technology development at the company. Futurists agree that the idea of using microchips inside the body could ultimately represent a large market opportunity, but they doubt whether this initial effort will have a significant effect on the RFID market. "Are we going to see chips embedded in the human body? You bet we are," said Paul Saffo, a director of The Institute for the Future (Menlo Park, Calif.). "But it isn't going to happen overnight."

Considering one staggering implication...On February 26, 1999, the Wall Street Journal announced that the Hughes Corporation -- linked previously to deceptive Bible code propagandist, Michael Drosnin, the Rockerfeller built and funded University of Chicago, and deadly Hughes Medical Institute prion research -- had launched a series of satellites that could easily transmit the potentially enslaving as well as pathogenic electromagnetic frequencies from space. The article written by staff reporter Andy Pasztor, explained that Hughes, "the world's largest satellite, dubbed the 702 line, featuring nearly twice the signal strength and communications capacity of the current models.... The 702s (naturally, 7+2=9, or completion) also rely on a novel xenon-ion propulsion system, once the darling of science-fiction fans, which uses electric pulses instead of the combustion of chemical propellants" to slash weight, costs, and craft6 mortality. According to Pasztor, based on corporate announcements, just "one satellite will be able to cover a much larger chunk of the world, or ultimately beam a radio signal to a tiny antenna installed on a vehicle travelling almost anywhere on the globe." Naturally, if the antenna happened to be a prion crystal or biochip, and the vehicle human beings, recipients might cease travelling altogether depending on the frequency of the radiowave. >>from Healing Codes For The Biological Apocalypse by Len Horowitz Count me out of the biochip program.
