An Invasion of Privacy ? - Stephanie Puder -- March 20, 2006

"Applied Digital Solutions also hopes to use them to replace credit cards,
social security cards,

security passes and more. They want to use them to track kidnap victims, criminals, and government employees as well. The CEO of Applied Digital Solutions, Scott Silverman, expects these chips to be
the * only * means of accessing any information within 10-15 years.
[ Ed : Being mandated for computer access could be a LOT sooner than that ...perhaps 10-15 MONTHS ]

"These scenarios have to do with some type of enforcement whether it is voluntary or by force, and that is exactly what people against these chips fear. "

Ed: Although the Bible does not say we will be "forced" to take the mark of the Beast, we will need the Mark for all grocery purchases. Therefore ---since one can not eat without taking the Mark -- one is cornered into taking the mark for food. This is stealth enforcement, rather than actual coercion.

"Our first amendment rights of free exercise and the establishment clause will also be violated due to the fact that groups such as Christians are extremely against these chips because they are similar to something prophesized about in the book of Revelations. Revelations 13:16-18 describes people being forced to receive the mark of the beast in order to buy or sell anything which sounds a lot like Scott Silverman’s plan. If these chips are enforced then Christians and others will not be able to freely exercise their religion."

"Then there is Scott Silverman’s plan: one day all of the documents necessary to do anything in this country (social security cards, licenses, birth certificates, bank account information, etc.) are held within microchips. At the time being Applied Digital Solutions maintains a strict voluntary rule when it comes to these chips; however,
if there is no way to access any information without one [ Ed: VeriChip ] what choice do we really have? These chips need to be prevented from having the capability to take away our rights. "

"That is because if these chips are enforced, by law or necessity, then we will only be given two choices: get chipped or don’t survive, and what choice does that really leave us with?
So once these chips start coming out into the public eye-- in sheep’s clothing-- remember what’s really growling beneath.

Want to know more? Just type "VeriChip" into a search engine like www.google.com and you will see tons of information. "
