RFID chips already on cheese and razors. Money next?, page 1

Katherine Albrecht is a leading expert on RFID chip technology.
In this very illuminating interview she warns about the inherent dangers posed to individual freedom and the Pentagon's plans to even place these chips into the money we use.
She also states that products such as Kraft Cheese and Gillette razors have already been implanted with RFID technology and sold to consumers without their knowledge.

In order to do that against the RFID implementation, I'd recommend microwave bombardment. (fry the suckers!)

Good call but looked what happened when I tried to fry the chip in my phone

Gillette dismiss RFID privacy concerns:

US-based group Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering (Caspian) is also urging a worldwide boycott against Gillette over the tagging concerns.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a gimmick from Florida-based Applied Digital Solutions to chip people with RFID implants - previously confined to tracking animals - thereby making it easy to access their medical records, even when they cannot, or would rather not, cooperate.

...Wisconsin has become the first state to ban it (through popular protest):

Wisconsin bans forced human RFID chipping:

Civil libertarians cheered yesterday upon news that Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle signed a law making it a crime to require an individual to be implanted with a microchip. Activists and authors Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre joined the celebration, predicting this move will spell trouble for the VeriChip Corporation, maker of the VeriChip human microchip implant.

Here's a scary direction RFID is going...

"One of the more covert technologies they employ is ID-Dust, serialized dust particles that can be interrogated like a RFID tag. The NOX team can coat a person or object with it to track movement. ID-Dust can show if an item was handled or it can even be sprinkled on the floor. People unknowingly pick up the ID-Dust on their shoes as they travel through a dusted area.

The software combines the video surveillance and RFID information to create an association between the ID-Dust and a person. The ID-Dust allows the person's movement to be tracked around a facility without the person ever knowing he or she is being tracked. While a criminal can easily defeat the motion sensors, the ID-Dust provides covert security with instant alerts when someone enters an area, plus a complete history of exactly where each person traveled and when."

Crop muncher thats a great post -very disturbing stuff - if this technology is in the public security domain already how long before it effects everybody (and not just criminals)?

As for enfored human chipping, it seems the government of Indoneisa has already drafted and is supporting a bill in which it would be mandatory/compulsory for people with HIV to be implanted with a RFID chip.

Also,it appears government spending (of taxpayer's money) on this technology over the past few years is astronomical -it looks like the 'powers that be' have already decided that its the best course of action for the public at large whether they like it or not.
Its also interesting to note that RFID companies are some of the fastest growing in their sector,despite the (engineered?) financial meltdown:
www.supplychaindigital.co.uk...

I suspect the 'lost children' angle is the way the media will introduce this invention to the public but ,like anything else,a technology can be put to either positive or negative uses -as Katherine Albrecht mentions in the OP interview;human chipping could eventualy be mandatory with all manner of Orwellian implications.
Does anyone even trust 'the establishment' with our best interests anymore?
Seems to me the general public is being increasingly viewed as nothing more than something that needs to be tracked,controlled,manipulated,subdued and suppressed.

This has been going on for decades, in the past though it was dust particles that coild be tracked with ultrovilote light. The technology has improved but is is the same premise.

As far as the chips, again been going on for a long time. As another poster wrote, the theft deterent tags are an example. But they themselves are not alone. Transactions are currently tracked useing credit and debit card transactions. This is how companies know what products move the best even before recieving reorder shipments from stores. The cip is just an aid in the process and the chip on the cash is just a way tro crack the cash transactions as well.

The chips are currently used in animals to help fight animal theft. And don't forget about cars "Low Jack" and "On-Stae" anyone? Has anyone ever used On-Star? They can actually tell you what speed you are moving at. This is human tracking in cars.

It was obviouse that they would be moving to human implants sooner or later, the righting was on the walls, it just moves slowly enough along so most people don't even notice.

Hitachi develops RFID powder

RFID keeps getting smaller. On February 13, Hitachi unveiled a tiny, new “powder” type RFID chip measuring 0.05 x 0.05 mm — the smallest yet — which they aim to begin marketing in 2 to 3 years.

By relying on semiconductor miniaturization technology and using electron beams to write data on the chip substrates, Hitachi was able to create RFID chips 64 times smaller than their currently available 0.4 x 0.4 mm mu-chips. Like mu-chips, which have been used as an anti-counterfeit measure in admission tickets, the new chips have a 128-bit ROM for storing a unique 38-digit ID number.

The new chips are also 9 times smaller than the prototype chips Hitachi unveiled last year, which measure 0.15 x 0.15 mm.

At 5 microns thick, the RFID chips can more easily be embedded in sheets of paper, meaning they can be used in paper currency, gift certificates and identification.But since existing tags are already small enough to embed in paper, it leads one to wonder what new applications the developers have in mind.
