"Mandated RFID Chips: Fact or Fiction?"

Last week we posted an alarming blog regarding RFID chip implants under Obamacare. We were overwhelmed by the response. Understandably, many of you were concerned and wanted more details. This week we will do our best to supply them.

Please keep in mind: These bills are complicated, vague and extremely lengthy (well over 2000 pages each). Both bills, HR 4872- The Reconciliation Act of 2010 and HR 3962- The Affordable Healthcare For America Act, have sections that deal with a National Medical Device Registry and implantable devices. Neither bill is technically a part of HR 3590, the bill known as "Obamacare". However, HR 4872 does contain the infamous Section 2521, seemingly 'cut & pasted' from the original bill known as "Obamacare", the unpassed HR 3200. To keep things as simple as possible, we will assume you have done your homework and printed out the following: HR 4872; Section 2521; Subtitle C-National Medical Device Registry-pg.1013 (www.housedocs.house.gov/rules/hr4872/111_hr4872_reported.pdf). The entire section must be read to make sense of it. Please take the time to do that before you continue. HR 3962, Section 2571, Section C begins on page 1501 and  can be obtained by going to:   www.housedocs.house.gov/rules/hr3962/111_hr3962_reported.pdf.

How did we come up with a "March 2013" implementation?

HR 4872, pg.1019; lines 4-12: "Effective date.- The Secretary of Health and Human Services shall establish and begin implementation of the registry under section 519(g) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as added by paragraph (1), by not later than the date that is 36 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, without regard to whether or not final regulations to establish and operate the registry have been promulgated by such date." Exact same wording is found on page 1508, beginning on line 17 in HR 3962.

• This bill was signed into law on 3/29/2010
• 36 months later = March 2013

For those of you unwilling to do the detective work required, this bill creates a National Medical Device Registry. The stated purpose of the Registry is to collect safety data on post-market medical devices: "a class III"; or "a class II device that is implantable, life supporting or life-sustaining" (HR 4872, pg.1014, lines 15-17; similar language is found in HR 3962, pg.1502, lines 16-17), and to put the safety data into a publicly accessible electronic database..."the term 'data' refers to information respecting a device described in paragraph (1), including claims data, patient survey data, standardized analytic files that allow for the pooling and analysis of data from disparate data environments, electronic health records, and any other data deemed appropriate by the Secretary." (HR 4872, pg. 1017, line 3-9; HR 3962, pg. 1505, line 13-18).

The big question is: What exactly is "a class II device that is implantable, life supporting or life-sustaining? The innocuous definition is "pacemakers" and the like. If that's all they mean, then they will be tracking only devices and not patients. No problem. But the way these bills are written leaves another door open.

In 2004, the FDA approved "an implantable radiofrequency transponder system for patient identification and health information. A device intended to enable access to secure patient identification and corresponding health information. This system may include a passive implanted transponder, inserter, and scanner. The implanted transponder is used only to store a unique electronic identification code which is read by the scanner. The identification code is used to access patient identity and corresponding health information stored in a database." (www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance). The FDA goes on to say, "This guidance is issued in conjunction with a Federal Register notice announcing the classification (class II) of implantable radiofrequency transponder system for patient identification and health information."

Okay, back to the question of the day: Are the bills (HR 4872 & HR 3962) referring to pacemakers or RFID chips? There is a huge difference. One definition means they are collecting data about the device. The other means they are retrieving data accessible by the device. One is relatively harmless, while the other is an invasion of government into our private lives. We lay down our Christian (living-in-the-Last Days-bias) worldview with difficulty and do our best to read the bills as they are written. Verdict? You be the judge. Take the time to read them for yourselves. And then ask:

• Why remove the National Medical Device Registry from Obamacare when it came under scrutiny?
• Why not simply change the language of the bill (i.e. add words like: class II device NOT to include an implantable radiofrequency transponder for data collection)?
• Why did they feel it necessary to slip the Registry section into two separate bills and then pass them without fanfare, as is, despite the public's misgivings?

And while you're at it, read the February 2, 2012 post, "Power Grab Alert!" from our Archives for another example of a vague, but frightening bill.

"Breaking News: RFID Chip Implants Mandatory Under Obamacare!"

You might remember back in '09 a flurry of protest when it was discovered Obamacare (HR3200) mandated we all get micro-chipped. That's right--implanted! The bill was tabled and a new version (HR3590) was passed without Section 2521 which deals with implantable microchips. Everyone (or at least those who were paying attention) breathed a sigh of relief. The nation had dodged a bullet. Or so we thought...

It seems Uncle Sam has more than one trick up his sleeve. While all eyes were on Obamacare (sans Section 2521), they slipped in not one, but TWO new bills BOTH containing mandatory RFID chip implants. How'd they get away with it?

Easy. They simply cut and pasted Section 2521 from Obamacare, and buried it deep within two separate bills and passed the suckers without anyone ever reading them. It took a total of 13 days (and people say we have a "do nothing Congress"!) to get the job done. These bills, HR 3962 and HR 4872, allow a National Medical Registry to be created and the population to be tagged with implantable medical Verichips the size of a grain of rice. The bill provides for a national database, a registry for collecting patient data, such as medical records, insurance claims, pharmacy accounts, along with instant debit from bank accounts to pay for co-pays, etc.

It's all very efficient and practical. And of course, they've made every provision for the interim use of "smart cards", presumably to cover the gap in time from when the process of chipping begins to when everyone has received a chip. The date for all this to get started? March 2013!

The wording in these bills is so vague and confusing and filled with intentional obfuscation, it seems they have left themselves an open door for future use in whatever they "deem appropriate" (their words). This could literally be anything, including surveillance data (the bill actually uses the term "surveillance efforts"--why?!)

Republican Congressman Ron Paul of Texas is the only public figure we could find who seems to know anything about this. On his website, he says: "The new law, when fully implemented, provides the framework for making the United States the first nation in the world to require each and everyone of its citizens to have implanted in them a radio-frequency identification microchip for the purpose of controlling who is, or isn't, allowed medical care in their country." Thank you, Ron Paul, but where is everyone else? This government has run amok.

And the fact that they had TWO back-up bills (that we know of) indicates how very important it is to them. It appears this government intends to track us. If that doesn't wake us up--what will?

It's time to pay attention, people. We can no longer allow the Nancy Pelosis of the world to convince us "we have to pass the bill so we can know what's in it." What an idiotic policy! This administration is passing unread bills left and right. Who knows what else they've passed under the radar?

For those of us who take the Bible seriously, the implications of these developments are unmistakable. We're not saying this is connected to Revelation 13:16--we are saying the technology described in that verse written almost 2000 years ago is here. The stage is being set:

• economically
• geo-politically
• spiritually

Every aspect of our world today matches precisely what the Bible predicts for this generation. What's next? Keep your eyes on Syria and Damascus. At least 3 scriptures predict the destruction of Syria's capital city, Damascus. Watch Iran and Russia, the entire Middle East, and of course, Israel. The Bible is clear there will be war involving all of these nations, and tiny, little Israel will be the victor through God's help. Jesus says in Matthew 24:33: "When you see all these things, know that it is near--at the doors!" 

Words to the Wise: "He (Antichrist) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or forehead, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark..." (Revelation 13:16,17)

"Throw The Clowns Out"

Last week, the United Nations began negotiating a global treaty to regulate international trade in conventional arms.

Fine 'n dandy.

Guess who they elected to head the committee?

Iran!

Yep, you heard that right, folks.Iran, one of the worst offenders of illegal weapons swaps, has been put in charge of coming up with a treaty intended to make sure there are no illegal weapons swaps!

Apparently, the clowns at the U.N. are oblivious to the irony. According to Hillel Neuer of U.N. Watch, the vote came "right after a U.N. Security Council report found Iran guilty of illegally transferring guns and bombs to Syria, which is now murdering thousands of its own people. It defies logic, morality, and common sense for the U.N. to now elect this same regime to a global post in the regulation of arms transfers."

Mr. Neuer, beside himself with exasperation, went on to say, "This is like choosing Bernie Madoff to police fraud on the stock market. And the U.N.'s scandalous choice of Iran is exactly why we fear that Syria's declared bid for a U.N. Human Rights Council seat is not impossible." (Hey, if Qaddafi's got one, why not Syria? just sayin'...)


The fifteen nation committee, led by Argentina, includes the United States, Iran, China, and Russia. You'd think one of them might have the brains to balk at this ridiculous choice. Of course the U.S. did oppose it, but claimed, "it's a symbolic position with little impact."

Symbolic of what? The idiocy of allowing this troop of clowns to take up space in NYC in the first place?

U.N. Watch called on U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to condemn the decision. "He should remind the conference that the Security Council has imposed four rounds of sanctions on Iran for refusing to halt its prohibited nuclear program, and that Iran continues to defy the international community through illegal arms shipments to the murderous Assad regime," Neuer said.

And while they're at it, how 'bout reminding the whole sorry bunch to make the treaty crystal clear that it does NOT apply to anything that goes on inside the U.S. (i.e. our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms) because, frankly, who knows what these bozos will try next?

"A Tale of Two Economies" OR "Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire"

If you're getting your news from the mainstream media, you probably think we've dodged a bullet. We're in recovery, they say. The recession was one of the deepest in recent history, but we're coming out of it slowly but surely, inch-by-inch we're definitely climbing up and out of the hole we dropped into back in '08.
Whew-w-w-w.


Not so fast.

According to alternate news sources, the mainstream media is full of bologna.

So, who do we believe?

Sadly, even a cursory look at the facts makes it clear our local and national news is biased against...well, the truth. What?!

You heard it right, folks. It's time to take matters into our own hands. We must take responsibility for ourselves and find out what is really going on or suffer the consequences.

Here's a sneak peak of what you might find (if you dare to look): Economist John Williams: "The GDP has plunged, and we have been bottom-bouncing ever since the financial crisis started." Williams says, "The next crash will be a lot worse because it will push us into the early stages of hyperinflation." He believes this will happen "by the end of 2014--at the latest." But long before then he thinks there's a good chance there will be "panic-selling of the U.S. dollar" if the Fed steps in with more Quantitative Easing ( a fancy name for printing more money) in an attempt to save the financial system and the big banks from failure.Williams predicts that one way or another "there will eventually be a crisis to bring the system down as we know it...we're on the brink." It's a mathematical certainty, he thinks.


Gerald Celente, publisher of the Trends Journal and known for his uncanny ability to forecast financial and future world events, believes we are headed for big trouble. According to Celente, "America has already turned into pre-World War II Germany" and " a war with Iran will be the beginning of WWIII." He believes that what's going on in Europe with the sovereign debt crisis is related to a worldwide bank takeover.


Economic forecaster, Reggie Middleton predicted the financial crisis of 2008 with amazing accuracy. Now he says, "Europe is coming to the end of the road very soon." If you listened to the mainstream media, you'd think the debt crisis in Europe was all but solved. Not so, according to Middleton. "Europe is insolvent. Collapse in Europe is absolutely unavoidable. It's a foregone conclusion."


Keep in mind, we've got a global economy--Europe eats a lemon, we get the heartburn.


Don't allow the mainstream media wonks to lure you to sleep. Take a look for yourself to see what's going on and  then ask yourself this question:


Is that a light at the end of the tunnel or a train-wreck headed this way?
