INHUMAN—PART 9: Neurosciences, Brain-Machine Interfacing, Cybernetics and the BORG

• According to some Bible scholars, a biblical generation is forty years. This is interesting, given what we documented in our book Zenith 2016 concerning the Jewish Calendar year 5773 (2012—2013 in the most commonly used Gregorian calendar), from which, counting backward forty years, one arrives at the year 1973, the very year Senior Scholastics began introducing school kids to the idea of buying and selling in the future using numbers inserted in their foreheads. In the September 20, 1973, feature “Who Is Watching You?” the secular high school journal speculated:

• The following year, the 1974 article, “The Specter of Eugenics,” had Charles Frankel documenting Nobel Prize winner Linus Pauling’s suggestions that a mark be tattooed on the foot or forehead of every young person. Pauling envisioned a mark denoting genotype.
• In 1980, S. News and World Report revealed how the federal government was plotting “National Identity Cards” without which no one could work or conduct business.
• The Denver Post Sun followed up in 1981, claiming that chip implants would replace the identification cards. The June 21, 1981, story read in part, “The chip is placed in a needle which is affixed to a simple syringe containing an anti-bacterial solution. The needle is capped and ready to forever identify something—or somebody.”
• The May 7, 1996, Chicago Tribune questioned the technology, wondering aloud if we would be able to trust “Big Brother under our skin?”
• Then, in 1997, applications for patents of subcutaneous implant devices for “a person or an animal” were filed.
• In August 1998, the bbc covered the first-known human microchip implantation.
• That same month, the Sunday Portland Oregonian warned that proposed medical identifiers might erode privacy rights by tracking individuals through alphanumeric health identifier technologies. The startling Oregonian feature depicted humans with bar codes in their foreheads.
• Millions of Today Show viewers then watched in 2002 when an American family got “chipped” with Applied Digital Solution’s VeriChip live from a doctor’s office in Boca Raton, Florida.
• In November of the same year, ibm’s patent application for “identification and tracking of persons using rfid-tagged items” was recorded.
• Three years later, former secretary of the Health and Human Services department, Tommy Thompson, forged a lucrative partnership with VeriChip Cor and began encouraging Americans “to get chipped” so that their medical records would be “inside them” in case of emergencies.
• The state of Wisconsin—where Thompson was governor before coming to Washington—promptly drew a line in the sand, passing a law prohibiting employers from mandating that their employees get “chipped.” Other states since have passed or are considering similar legislation.
• Despite this, in the last decade, an expanding number of companies and government agencies have started requiring the use of rfid for people identification. Unity Infraprojects, for example, one of the largest civil contractors in India, tracks its employees with rfid, as does the U.S. Department of Homeland Security for workers involved in baggage handling at airports.
• Since September 11, 2001, the U.S. government has proposed several versions of a national id card that would use rfid
• In 2007, the U.S. government began requiring all passports to include rfid chips that enable use of biometric features such as facial recognition.
• Hundreds of Alzheimer’s patients have been injected with implantable versions of rfid tags in recent years.
• Rfid bracelets are now being placed on newborns at a growing list of hospitals.
• Students are being required in some schools and universities to use biometric id employing rfid for electronic monitoring.
• Thousands of celebrities and government officials around the world have had rfid radio chips implanted in them so that they can be identified—either for entry at secure sites or for identification if they are kidnapped or killed.
• Others, like Prof. Kevin Warwick (a British scientist and professor of cybernetics at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom), have been microchipped for purposes of controlling keypads and external devices with the wave of a hand.
• Besides providing internal storage for individual-specific information like health records, banking and industry envisions a cashless society in the near future where all buying and selling could transpire using a version of the subdermal chips and wireless authentication. As mentioned above, in 1973, Senior Scholastics magazine introduced school-age children to the concept of buying and selling using numbers inserted in their forehead. More recently, Timemagazine, in its feature story, “The Big Bank Theory and What It Says about the Future of Money,” recognized how this type of banking and currency exchange would not require a laser tattoo. Rather, the writer said, “Your daughter can store the money any way she wants—on her laptop, on a debit card, even (in the not-too-distant future) on a chip implanted under her skin.”[i]
• In 2007, PositiveID, which owns the Food and Drug Administration-approved VeriChip that electronically transmits patients’ health information whenever a scanner is passed over the body, ominously launched “Xmark” as its corporate identity for implantable healthcare products.

• Skip forward to the present and suddenly the push for a national biometric identification system and Rfid technology is all over the news and within industry trade reports. The Next Generation Biometric Market—Global Forecast & Analysis Through 2017 noted how the global biometric identification market was surging toward the nearly fourteen billion dollar mark by 2017 with an estimated compound annual growth rate of 18.7%
• In February, 2013, a report for the Competitive Enterprise Institute authored by David Bier (The New National Identification System Is Coming) documented how U.S. lawmakers including Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lindsay Graham were advocating for a “super” identification system that would include biometrics.
• Three months later in May, Massachusetts-based engineering firm MC10 disclosed it is developing a high-tech biostamp electronic “tattoo” that will replace all passwords. It is made of silicon and is sealed on the wearer’s body. As of the publication of this entry, MC10 has its first prototypes “affixed” to sports stars and others.
• Simultaneously, Motorola senior vice president Regina Dugan announced that a project similar to MC10’s is now under development at the multinational telecommunications company called “The Proteus Digital Pill,” which contains a computer chip and transmits an 18-bit ECG-like signal that can communicate with mobile devices as well as serve as a biometric ID. The ingestible “pill” has already been approved for human use and tracking by the FDA in the United States as well as in Europe. Note that “Proteus” is a shape-shifter and primordial pagan god of ancient sages (seers) that can affect the “conscious” and is capable of mutating the host.
• No sooner had Motorola announced its plan for the “Proteus” swallowable marker than some in the secular media marched forward to brand any concerned or resistant religious types (such as the producers of the upcoming documentary INHUMAN) as inflexible shrills who do not represent true Christianity. As an example, Iain Thomson of The Register wrote on May 31, 2013:

• In January, 2013, Robert A. Pastor, Professor of International Relations at American University argued before the U.S. Congress that the majority of Americans are now ready for—and need—a national ID based on head and hand biometrics. A centerpiece of the immigration bill imagines just such a scenario and would require all citizens to have a biometric card without which no one would be approved for employment, effectively rendering them a non-person.
• By June, 2013, the Congress of the United States pushed forward on related mandates, demanding progress on advanced biometric smart cards for federal identification under the Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD-12). The DHS wants these personal verification IDs immediately and for them to carry digitalized finger (and/or palm) and facial recognition images (head and hand) to serve as the trend-setter for all levels of government and private industry identification. These cards will employ bar codes, rfid tags, and onboard data processors that can transmit information and location to remote sites.
• Later the same month the use of biometrics (hand and/or head-iris scanning) as a payment option for goods and services was documented as the method of choice for buying and selling among fifty-percent of consumers, with that percentage trending upward to 70+% in recent polling (see Revelation 13:17).
• One month later in July, a special report conducted by Natural Security (a U.K. based authority in user-authentication) described nine-hundred consumers who had participated in a pilot program in which they used finger print based technology when purchasing products and services. 94% of them excited the scheme agreeing they are now ready to use biometrics and rfid technology for all buying and selling.
• By August of 2013, a new report from the National Institute of Standards and Technology confirmed the long-term viability of iris recognition as stable for biometric identification and that no distinguishing texture of the iris occurs for at least ten years, if not decades.
• A whole host of personal products began flooding the market at the same time, including jewelry, headgear and glasses that boast GPS and rfid tracking capabilities with promises of future payment integration for buying and selling via biometric signatures. One example is the “Nymi Bracelet” that is worn around the wrist. It monitors the heartbeat as a biometric signature and claims to be more accurate than facial recognition and about as accurate as fingerprint scanning.
• As we move through the year 2015 dozens of science and technology related journals as well as news leaders are reporting that the time for humans to enter the next level of innovation through embedded smart tracking and monitoring devices has arrived, and that between now and 2018 real life versions of the BORG will materialize as mankind enters the next big revolution—a time already dubbed “The Hybrid Age.”
