PRNewsWire sent out a release on February 17, 2015, titled "Connected Phone, Connected House, Connected Car...Connected Body?," which discusses so-called technological advances which quite literally turns human beings into part machines. They start with the medical implants such as pace makers, hearing aids and insulin pumps, before delving into what many would have considered science fiction just decades ago, but to which now is reported on as if it is perfectly normal.
Implanting the masses with technology to supposedly make "everyday life" more convenient, with Hannes Sjoblad, one of the founders of BioNyfiken, stating "The technology is already happening," before informing readers that "We are seeing a fast-growing community of people experimenting with chip implants, which allow users to quickly and easily perform a variety of everyday tasks, such as allowing access to buildings, unlocking personal devices without PIN codes and enabling read access to various types of stored data."
BioNyfiken believes "having a smart sub-dermal implant is not so different from wearing an earring or having a tattoo, and that an increasing number of people will choose to have NFC-compatible implants containing an array of information."
There are a number of concerns here, disturbing ramifications in multiple areas.
The article first caught my eye because I have my copy of Steve Quayle's "Xenogenesis - Changing Men Into Monsters," (Recommended read) where sections deal with Artificial Intelligence and "Borgs and Singularity." I emailed Quayle a link to the article and asked him for a quote for this piece, shown below:
"THIS IS THE END OF INDIVIDUALITY" AND THE ASSIMILATION INTO THE "HIVE LIKE BORG"-THIS IS HUMANITIES WORST NIGHTMARE BEING SOLD TO YOU, IN THE SAME FASHION AS GENOCIDE WAS SOLD IN NAZI GERMANY-BUT THE RAMIFICATIONS ARE OBVIOUS-NO FLESH LEFT ALIVE! THE DESTRUCTION OF GOD'S AMAZING CREATION ,IN HIS IMAGE AND LIKENESS IN ADAM AND EVE ,IS THEIR END GOAL!
Reading the article again after seeing Steve's quote, one sees the key buzz words and phrases being used that are, indeed, trying to 'sell" this technology, such as "upgraded human," and how having to carry keys, or money or a fob or swipe card just "clutters our lives."
Then we have the safety issue, to which the article again "sells us" on how by partnering with BioNyfiken, which happens to be a "bio-hacking community," they are addressing those safety concerns.
What we also see are other agenda driven potential uses, such as the very real probability that within this tech will be ways to track individuals, and with all the revelations on domestic surveillance over the course of last year, this should be just as disturbing as the other issues.
In late February ANP published a piece where a Harvard Professor warned that technology turning us into a dystopian world where privacy is already dead, is here now, stating "we live in that future right now."
Makes you wonder what else can be "implanted" within our bodies as part of these chips? Perhaps a kill switch? The ability to simply drop you where you stand if you disagree with how the government is run?
I am sure those that believe the government would never do something like that will call the above possibility a "conspiracy theory," yet those that have watched the expanded domestic spying, the labeling of political dissedents "extremists," and comparing conservatives to ISIS, the worldwide attack against Christians and other religious people, many of which consider implants and chips nothing more than the mark of the beast spoken about in biblical prophecy, will understand the very real concern about allowing this type of technology to be introduced into our bodies for nothing more than "convenience."
The subheader on the original article of "As the Internet of Things evolves and becomes the Internet of Us, security expert Kaspersky Lab has teamed up with Swedish bio-hacking community BioNyfiken to uncover the realities of connecting our bodies to the Internet," is what they are trying to sell.
I, for one, am not buying.
No one should willingly line up to be turned into a machine, an abomination, nor to be flagged, tagged and bagged.
