People are actually expected to swarm to the retail outlets to have their brand new National ID implanted AND THEY WILL PAY FOR IT THEMSELVES. Wait a minute, do you mean people are not only excited about this they are willing to pay for it. Yup, the power of perception....
MIND CONTROL FOR THE FUTURE
Microchips Create Memories in Brain
Oct 29, 2004 DOJgov.net Newswire
Scientists are now working on microchip implant technology that can create artificial memories.
Professor Theodore W. Berger, director of the Center for Neural Engineering at the University of Southern California, is creating a silicon chip implant that mimics the hippocampus, an area of the brain known for creating memories. If successful, the implant could replace its biological counterpart, in the hope that people who suffer from memory disorders can store new memories.
The six teams involved in the multi-laboratory effort, including USC, the University of Kentucky and Wake Forest University, have been working together on different components of the neural prosthetic for nearly a decade. Results of their efforts were just presented at the Society for Neuroscience's annual meeting in San Diego.
Research using slices of rat brain indicates the chip functions with 95 percent accuracy.
"It's a new direction in neural prosthesis," said Howard Eichenbaum, director of the Laboratory of Cognitive Neurobiology at Boston University. "The Berger enterprise is ambitious, aiming to provide a prosthesis for memory. The need is high, because of the prevalence of memory disorder in aging and disease associated with loss of function in the hippocampus."
Positive aspects of this new technology involve forming long-term memories to recognize a new face, or remembering a telephone number or directions to a new location, emulating the hippocampus. This part of the brain doesn't store long-term memories, but re-encodes short-term memory so it can be stored as long-term memory.
It's the area that's often damaged as a result of head trauma, stroke, epilepsy and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
"If you can figure out how the inputs are transformed, then you do have a prosthesis. Then I could put that into somebody's brain to replace it, and I don't care what they look at -- I've replaced the damaged hippocampus with the electronic one, and it's going to transform inputs into outputs just like the cells of the biological hippocampus."
Dr. John J. Granacki, director of the Advanced Systems Division at USC, has been working on translating these mathematical functions onto a microchip. The resulting chip is designed to simulate the processing of biological neurons in the slice of rat hippocampus that would accept electrical impulses, process them and send on. The researchers say the microchip is 95 percent accurate.
"If you were looking at the output right now, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the biological hippocampus and the microchip hippocampus," Berger said. "It looks like it's working."
The team next plans to work with live rats that are moving around and learning, and will study monkeys later.
"We will attempt to adapt the artificial hippocampus to the live animal and then show that the animal's performance -- dependent in these tasks on an intact hippocampus -- will not be compromised when the device is in place and we temporarily interrupt the normal function of the hippocampus," said Sam A. Deadwyler, "thus allowing the neuro-prosthetic device to take over that normal function." Deadwyler, a professor at Wake Forest University, is working on measuring the hippocampal neuron activity in live rats and monkeys.
While this new technology holds potentially great promise for neurologically impaired patients, it does have a disturbing downside for potential abuse. Since memories determine response, the eventual implanting of false memories now becomes a future reality.
One can speculate that it could begin by eliminating prisons by reworking memories of convicts to make them "good" citizens. It can then be expanded into the ultimate government tool for mind control in the mollified society.
The team expects it will take two to three years to develop the mathematical models for the hippocampus of a live, active rat and translate them onto a microchip, and seven or eight years for a monkey. They hope to apply this approach to clinical applications within 10 years. If everything goes well, they anticipate seeing an artificial human hippocampus, potentially usable for a variety of clinical disorders, in 15 years. If used improperly by self-serving government, its pathology is positively frightening.
New ID Chip Implant Allows Government to Track Your Every Move on Earth by Satellite
July 31,2002- Applied Digital Solutions now has ID implant that tracks you by satellite so you can be found anywhere on earth.
"We're committed to providing customers with a full range of personal safeguard technologies - technologies that enhance personal safety, security and peace of mind. Customers can choose the wearable Digital Angel device. They can choose to "get chipped(TM)" with our VeriChip medical and security identification implant. And now they'll have another option - the implantable PLD for those who want the added security of a personal GPS [satellite tracking] location feature."
CONTROL THROUGH "THINK BY WIRE" TECHNOLOGY IMPLANTS
DOJgov.net newswire
May 2, 2002 London
Rats controled by implant at current ranges of up to 500 yards have been announced today and the concept of a national ID chip implant takes on more ominous tones.
The remote-controlled "roborats" can be made to run, climb, jump or turn left and right through electrical probes, the width of a hair, implanted in their brains. Control movements are transmitted from a computer to the rat's brain via a micro radio receiver strapped to its back. Eventually, the receiver can be made the size of an implantable ID Chip such as being developed by VeriChip.
One of the electrodes stimulates the "feelgood" center of the rat's brain, to reward proper actions with a "feel good" impulse. Two other electrodes activate the cerebral regions which process signals for mind control. In training, a shot of euphoria rewarded the rats for responding correctly, but after that they turned on cue without any need for reward, the researchers said in the scientific journal "Nature."
It's all so simple. Just like in a sci-fi movie
They are getting careless, I think they are growing short on patience. They're making mistakes and forcing this too fast.
This I will fly until JOEY returns!

The following is a C&P.

Banker Gets ID Chip Implant
September 19, 2005
To help publicize a company that makes microchips that can be implanted in humans for identification purposes, a prominent San Francisco banker got "chipped" Monday so that his living will is just a scan away if he ever becomes seriously ill.
Before some 40 investors and entrepreneurs in San Francisco, Jon Merriman, chairman and CEO of investment firm Merriman Curhan Ford & Co., was injected with a rice-sized radio frequency identification (RFID) tag in his upper arm.
Mr. Merriman said he got "chipped" partly to support Florida-based VeriChip, saying he was "taking one for the team." He also said he wanted the chip to enable swift access to his living will information should he became disabled.

Chipping away at our freedom
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel | September 15 2005
By Marcia Thurnbauer
Has anybody else been wondering what former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson has been up to since he left his position as U.S. secretary of health and human services earlier this year? It turns out he assumed a position as a director of VeriChip Corp., a division of Florida-based Applied Digital and a leading developer of human implanted microchip technology, also known as radio-frequency identification.
In Spain, a nightclub IS offering microchips that function as sort of implanted ATMs; patrons can pay for cover charges and drinks simply by passing their arms under a scanner.
If all of this is eerily reminiscent of the 1970s sci-fi drama "The Six Million Dollar Man" ("We have the technology . . . We can rebuild him . . . Make him better, stronger, faster"), consider that microchip R&D is racing forward much more quickly than most of the public realizes.
But do we really want science fiction to become reality? At what point does a technology that offers certain conveniences become so indoctrinated that we wake up one day only to realize that virtually every aspect of our lives can be tracked, traced, regenerated and scanned 24/7?
If you think that's far-fetched, can you imagine living without a credit card these days? Many merchants won't accept anything but plastic. Who ever thought paying for certain things - like an airline ticket or a hotel room - with cash would be a suspicious activity?
Yet all of our purchases, and much of our physical movement, can now be tracked via our credit trail. What happens if the day comes when you can't board an airplane, rent a car or charge dinner without an implant that identifies you or debits your bank account?
I imagine some folks would accept this trade-off as another necessary sacrifice of freedom for greater convenience and potential safety. (That certainly happened with the USA Patriot Act after 9-11.)
But once this proverbial horse is out of the barn, we may all find ourselves trampled by a technology that started out with good intentions but evolves into an insidious method of population control as utilization reaches critical mass.
This technology will catch on quickly. Before we blindly embrace it, we need to carefully consider the potential consequences and publicly debate its acceptable limits.
The gene pool needs chlorine.
no way in HELL they'll ever put one of those in me.[xx(]
I'm gonna' go ahead and say, DITTO!
