It’s a well-known fact that technology can improve our way of living. Because of technology we can reach anyone, anywhere with our cellular telephones and computers. For those people with the inability to walk (after an accident, for example) can now have smart prosthesis to help them. But what about having a chip inside our brain to answer our email messages? Are citizens ready to accept this way of living?

Microchips are almost everywhere. The chips are embedded in the newer car models and can track your traveling habits and immobilize your engine from a satellite. Most schools have installed security cameras, but other schools have cameras in the bathrooms as well. Today, cameras are in parking lots, banks, business offices, hospitals, airports, post offices, malls, anywhere you shop 24-7, making the word "privacy" close to obsolete. (For now, the only place that isn’t monitored is your home.)

Kevin Warwick is the University of Reading in England cybernetics professor and something of a self-promoter. Warwick (or Captain Cyborg as a UK newspaper once dubbed him) had successfully wired the nerves of his forearm to a computer in New York City's Columbia University and networked them to a robotic system back in his England lab. "My body was effectively extended over the Internet," Warwick said. (In his England lab, Warwick carries out research in artificial intelligence, control, robotics and bio-medical engineering.) He is considered to be "one of these prominent individuals who is a leading proponent of the almost limitless potential uses for such chips." (The Jacobs family of Boca Raton, Florida, also made national news for having been micro-chipped.)

In 2002, Warwick had electrodes implanted in the nerves of his left forearm. (prudent for a right-hander.) He used the implant to enslave the robot hand far away in Reading, an electric wheelchair and the lights in his lab, as well as to communicate with his wife, Irena. She had agreed to receive a similar implant to see if "hus-borg" and wife could exchange electrical signals. "If she moved her hand," Warwick said, "my nervous system received one pulse. If she moved her hand three times, three pulses."

Considering citizens concerns about the future of micro-chipping humans, Warwick hopes to continue his lab work and "have a sensor implanted in his brain by 2015 that will allow him to send signals across a computer network." (A Brown University team has already moved the goal posts much closer.)

In 2006 researchers reported that a 25-year-old quadriplegic man had guided a computer cursor and moved a prosthetic arm via a brain implant. "Warwick may have trouble finding a doctor to implant a similar device without a compelling medical reason," points out Charles Higgins, an associate professor of electrical engineering and neuro-biology at the University of Arizona in Tucson.

Such chips are already being tested in prisoners, mental patients, soldiers, handicapped people, homosexuals and single women. It was revealed by Dr. Kilde that former Prime Minister Alof Palme of Sweden had already given permission back in 1973 to implant prisoners. Former Director General Jan Freese revealed that nursing home patients were implanted in the mid 1980s.

An innocent start . . . For years, the law in Toronto, Ontario is that all house pets must be micro-chipped so that the owners could be located in case these pets strayed away. Then, in the province of Quebec, a law was passed requiring all the farm animals to be micro-chipped if you wished to sell them on the market. (This method of tracking the animals was so that the owners could know the pedigree from birth until it was slaughtered.)

The flaw side of having a microchip implanted in oneself is that you could be followed anywhere in the world by means of low-frequency radio waves that target the chips, and with the help of satellites, the implanted person is tracked anywhere.

Is it possible that in the future most humans may have an implanted microchip? Will future societies choose to implant these microchips inside our babies at birth? (Thursday, August 14, 2008, Kevin Warwick encouraged a scared mother to chip her child. www.revelationwatch.com.) However, before this report, and in the January issue of The Canadian, Lucien Desjardins said that doctors in the United States and Europe "are secretly moving to have microchips implanted in newborns." If true, throughout the lives of these newborns, their thoughts would be monitored. And if the thoughts aren't correct or useful ones, their thoughts could simply be altered without the use of individual free will. Then, theoretically, we would all end up living in a world where our reality could be changed or altered to suit the state or the governments' agendas.

Some may argue that there is no way a whole population will "accept" being micro-chipped. Others say that micro-chipping a planet sounds too much like a science fiction fantasy (See The Body Snatchers.) Yet, we know that this is exactly what the program of the one world people is. Yet, how many would agree that what has started as being a supposedly good thing (Internet, cellular telephones et cetera) may end up becoming a way to enslave mankind.

A Peek into the Future

Those who refuse to have the microchip implanted will be accused of trying to hide something. They will constantly deal with delays and inconveniences reserved for those who refused to be chipped; as well, they will be declared enemies of the state and brought to special camps where they will be tortured until they do submit. Those who submit will reap the rewards and benefits offered by accepting the microchip and thus become a mindless slave.

Kevin Haggerty wrote an article entitled, "One Generation Is All They Need," in the December 10, 2006 issue of The Toronto Star, giving a scenario of who will first be implanted with the microchips.

1- Members of stigmatized groups. That is, pedophiles, terrorists, drug dealers, people society considers to be the worst of the worst.

2- Accused individuals will be chipped so that they are prevented from fleeing justice.

3- Prisoners will welcome this development, since only chipped inmates will be eligible for parole, weekend release or community sentences.

4- The government will also include on their list of other stigmatized groups such as those on welfare. Welfare recipients will need to be monitored to reduce fraud, enhance efficiency and to ensure that the poor do not receive undeserved benefits.

5- Employers will then start to expect implants as a condition for getting a job.

6- The United States military will lead the way by requiring chips for all soldiers as a means to enhance battlefield command and control, and to identify remains.

7- The massive security sector of security guards, police officers, correctional workers and all individuals with sensitive jobs.

8- The media will sensationalize a child abducted or murdered so that frightened parents will want their children implanted and tracked with a chip.

9- Hospitals will follow the lead by requiring a chip in order to receive medical treatment.
