'Brave New World': Fox News writer asks "Is there a microchip in your future?"

| WTF News |

Fox News plays the conservative, Republican end of the American two-party system very well, but occasionally it showcases the real purpose of mainstream media. MSM seeks to effectively manage the debate on future issues while subversively desensitizing people to the coming New World Order, which Henry Kissinger proudly promoted in the supposedly more sophisticated Wall Street Journal.

BRAVE NEW WORLD: Microchip implants could become part of human life http://t.co/RsYmZEHJD7 via @fxnscitech

Maybe this Fox News writer Josh Brandon is just really open to the idea of having an RFID microchip.

Microchip implants like the ones pet owners use to track their dogs and cats could become commonplace in humans in the next decade. Experts are divided on whether they’re appropriate for people, but the implants could offer several advantages. For soldiers and journalists in war zones, an implant could be the difference between life and death. A tracker could also help law enforcement quickly locate a kidnapped child.

“In the long run, chip implants could make it less intrusive than some emerging ID systems which rely on physical biometrics (like your fingerprints or unique eye pattern),” says Alex Soojung-Kim Pang, author of the book “Distraction Addiction” and visiting scholar at Stanford’s University’s Peace Innovation Lab.

“This should be a matter of individual choice, but fighting crime should be much easier using chips,” adds sci-fi author Larry Niven, who predicted chip implants in the ’70s. Niven said he supports chip implantation for security reasons, provided it is an opt-in measure.

Ramez Naam, who led the early development of Microsoft software projects and is now a popular speaker and author, said he envisions using chip implantation to help monitor the location of people with Alzheimer’s disease.

They could be used to track the activities of felons who have been released from prison.

Chips are being used today to manage farm animals. Farmers can track sheep, pigs and horses as they move through a gate, weigh them instantly and make sure they are eating properly.

The irony is that the US population are essentially considered commercial farm animals to the corporatocracy and they will track you in multiple ways before a chip comes into play. The sad truth is that in the very near future, you largely won’t need a microchip to be tracked 24/7.

Brandon gave brief reference to concerns about “abuse” but largely was aiming to justify the purposes of what could be forced national surveillance.

But consider the possibilities: People could unlock their homes or cars, gain access to a building, pass through an airport and even unlock their laptops without using a phone or watch. A pin code could be used to activate the chip – or to deactivate it to maintain privacy.

They are easy to install and remove, and, because they are implanted under the skin, they are unobtrusive. The chips, which could be the size of a thumbnail, could be injected into an arm or a hand.

If children were chipped, teachers could take attendance in the classroom. Lipoff said that GPS would not work because skin would block the signal, although new Near Field Communication chips like those in current smartphones could work because of their low-power requirement. However, no-one has yet tried to implant NFC chips.

Police could track cars and read data without needing to scan license plates. At a hospital, administrators could locate a doctor without having to rely on a pager. And if you walked into a donut shop, the owner could read your taste preferences (glazed or not glazed) without needing a loyalty card.

If you could tolerate reading all of his article, the last line seems to indicate his attitude, mentally surrendered submissive slave.

At least it’s better than having a barcode stitched onto our foreheads.

That is the attitude of someone who is defeated and will then call for similar measures for others to be subjugated.

Maybe not all the Fox News followers will fall for it?
