John and Doves,

Here is the latest from Verichip. It shows Derek Jacobs 2 years later with the chip still in his left arm.

"We Could Monitor you Anywhere on Earth" ( VeriChip ) -- Nov. 20, 2004

Mr Bolton says the human applications are limitless.
'It is safe and hidden in the body forever,' he said, and any kind of sensitive data could be stored....

Some religious leaders even fear the VeriChip is the 'Mark of the Beast' prophesied in the Bible.
But VeriChip claims there is one group screaming for the chip instead of against it - teenagers.
'A trend is growing that it's cool to get chipped,' said Mr Bolton.

The VeriChip lies dormant until it is scanned with a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader.

The article also mentions chips inside the brain for mind-control.

We have added two more topics, including one on the coming "virtual units", instead of cash or precious metals for all financial transactions.

"They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed:
their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD."
Ezekiel 7: 19
