Implantable chips linked to cancer [Excerpts]
In 2004 when the FDA approved implanting microchips in humans, the manufacturer said it would save lives, letting doctors scan the tiny transponders to access patients' medical records almost instantly. The FDA found "reasonable assurance" the device was safe, and a sub-agency even called it one of 2005's top "innovative technologies."
But neither the company nor the regulators publicly mentioned this: A series of veterinary and toxicology studies, dating back to the mid-1990s, strongly suggested that chip implants had "induced" malignant tumors in some laboratory mice and rats.
"Potential investors should be told how a hacker can simply walk by a chipped person and clone his or her VeriChip signal, a threat demonstrated by security researcher Jonathan Westhues months ago," says McIntyre, who is a former federal bank examiner.
Political strategist Mike Baker believes the national ID cards will eventually lead to the micro chipped society, since the ID cards can be lost, forged or stolen. The National ID cards are being touted as a security measure against terrorism and organized crime. It will eventually become necessary to have the implant if one wishes to open a bank account, enter a federal building, buy an airline ticket or travel on Amtrack, just to name a few. Will Christians who refuse to take their RFID microchip be the new terrorist in this Brave New World?
