Chipping in to open a new chapter in communication, control
(Professor Kevin Warwick)
VeriChip Corporation Protects More Than One Million Infants in 2007
"Xmark's infant protection systems are designed to prevent infant abductions and inadvertent child mismatching in hospitals. The main component of the systems is a wearable RFID tag that is assigned to child and mother following birth. Monitors positioned throughout the hospital detect the integrity of the tags and location of the child. If a newborn is removed from the ward, if the tag is lifted from the baby's skin or if the ankle strap is compromised, the system immediately triggers an alarm, alerting hospital security to the situation."

Senior Life: Chipping away at our individual rightsRegarding the second stage of research, he said he got implanted with a more complex chip, which interfaced directly with his nervous system, in March 2002. The experiment was successful, as the signals produced by the chip were detailed enough for a robot arm developed by his colleague Peter Kyberd to mimic the action of his arm.
Warwick even went on to implant a simpler chip into the body of his wife. He wanted to try telepathy, using Internet to communicate the signal from afar.
The experiment was successful and resulted in the first purely electronic communication experiment between the nervous systems of two human beings. Though his family found it “crazy” initially, he was determined to use the technology for helping the disabled, he said.

Let us not fear the outcomes of this day...but offer everything to HIM OUR FATHER!
HE RULES THE WORLD!
Psalms 2:8-11
"I will proclaim the decree of the LORD, who said to me, "You are my son; today I am your father. Only ask it of me, and I will make your inheritance the nations, your possession the ends of the earth. With an iron rod you shall shepherd them, like a clay pot you will shatter them."
And now, kings, give heed; take warning, rulers on earth. Serve the LORD with fear; with trembling bow down in homage, Lest God be angry and you perish from the way in a sudden blaze of anger. Happy are all who take refuge in God!

FBI WANTS Finger Prints, Eye Scans - Data Base of Info
"The bureau is expected to announce in coming days the awarding of a $1 billion, 10-year contract to help create the database that will compile an array of biometric information -- from palm prints to eye scans."
[snip]
"The FBI already has 55 million sets of fingerprints on file. In coming years, the bureau wants to compare palm prints, scars and tattoos, iris eye patterns, and facial shapes. The idea is to combine various pieces of biometric information to positively identify a potential suspect."
That's 1 billion---with a 'B'!

Myths About Implantable Chips

Puhllleeeeezzzeee! Give me a break....from the CEO..."it's safe"..."I often am asked if I would consider getting a microchip. In fact, I was one of the first to receive a microchip, in 2002. I cannot feel its presence and usually forget that it's there, but my family and I take comfort in the fact that if I am ever unable to speak in an emergency, my microchip will do all the "talking."'

Mexico, Israel and the European Union-"However, Mexico, Canada and the United States do experience a growing community of interests and, de facto, are undergoing an increasing integration."
Politics and the pulpit
Considering the source:
"INTRODUCTION: Pope Benedict XVI's recently announced visit to the United States in April is a reminder of the role anti-Catholicism has played in presidential politics.
Notre Dame Professor Richard Garnett traces the political history of anti-Catholicism, the effect of then-presidential hopeful John F. Kennedy's famous 1960 speech to Baptist ministers, and the role of candidates' religious beliefs in today's campaign."
[snip]
"Thankfully, we live in a time when no one feels the need to take up arms against Benedict's invading armies. We should always be on guard, though, against the temptation to demonize, dismiss or distort the beliefs and aspirations of those whose faith seems foreign to us."
TX "Super Highway" - TxDOT Packed Meetings - Need for another Townhall Meeting
Waller County officials are calling for the Texas Department of Transportation to hold another public meeting in their county on a proposed “superhighway,” after a Jan. 22 meeting was so packed that some people couldn’t squeeze into the meeting hall.
Stand up Texans!
[snip]Gov. Rick Perry first proposed the TTC six years ago. If completed as much as 50 years from now, it would roughly parallel interstate highways with up to a quarter-mile-wide stretch of toll roads, rail lines, pipelines and utility lines. Cost of the project has been estimated at approaching $200 billion, and at 4,000 miles or so it would be the biggest construction project ever in Texas.
Thousands of people have turned out for a series of public meetings, including a large crowd last Monday in Bellville.The Texas Transportation Commission’s plan outlines 4,000 miles of superhighway corridors that crisscross the state. Four of those corridors have been identified as “priority corridors” to be constructed first, including the I-69 portion.

"Urges U.S. to withdraw from Security and Prosperity Partnership"
In a speech given in Salt Lake City to the Utah Eagle Forum's annual convention Jan. 19, Sandstrom compared the move toward a North American Union to the stealth methodology used by corporate elite to move Europe toward the European Union. The 50-year process began with the European Coal and Steel Agreement in 1957.

Vatican Assaults Prodi, Again
"Whatever the trigger was, the Catholic Church is becoming increasingly active in politics."
Is there fear?
"Soon the Vatican’s efforts will not be limited to a pro-family agenda. Watch for its political pressure to be applied to other areas. Soon it will attempt to impose its beliefs in areas such as Sunday worship on the whole European continent. The pope has demonstrated his political clout in Italy. Watch for it to extend across Europe, and then, the whole world."
