You wouldn't like your kids or spouse decide for themselves? That doesn't sound like freedom to me. In the next hundred years, you'll be in the minority.

Just saw a news story this morning that leans in this direction. Rice University is developing a computerized label for all goods that will allow scanners to read an entire grocery cart and ring it up as you walk by. The labels are thin enough to actually be printed on the containers. Looks like a very small circuit board. The key point of the story was how convenient this will be for shoppers. One more step . . .

Very scary to read this. I can almost see myself viewing the commercial right now. This is definitely a probability. Absolute control, and with us all chipped no pesky Red Dawn situations. s and f.

It's all about incentives and this can be sold to the American and most world populations.
I will say this, if you see the majority of people accepting this, you should go the opposite way.

Sounds great to me! Where do I sign up? Seriously though, I think you have nailed it. This is how it is going to be sold and I tell ya: It will be an offer you can't refuse. There is overwhelming evidence that this is in the cards and steps towards this scenario have already been taken. They are now moving to paying with mobile phones instead of cards or checks or cash. Cash is being phased out completely and if you want to pay by check in Europe you will be leaving the store empty handed. Traveling on public transport in Amsterdam is done by chip card. It tells 'the company' where you got on and where you got off as you have to check out. If you don't check out they will take about 6-7 dollars from you. For now you can still travel anonymously but that will stop soon enough. Patents have already been requested for implantable Chips for supposed medical purposes. It is not that far off. It takes one more generation for it to be part of every day life. Maybe two. Most people will be convinced it will be better for themselves if they sign up. They certainly won't be concerned for mankind.

I want to add that there needs to be a major catalyst to get this thing moving. What exactly will that be? Economic collapse? A terrorist attack? A new pandemic/epidemic?

Yes, but there has to be a catalyst to get it to the majority of people. There has to be some event that triggers the people into feeling this is a safe bet and good for society. I know several ways to market it to christians. It's quite simple actually, but as I said, would require a catalyst to do it.
