Hi all,
As a techy the RFID technology is incredibly interesting, but even more terrifying when I take a moment to realize its malicious possibilities.If you are not familiar with the RFID technology, it is a incredibly compact technology, primarily used for logistical purposes like shipping and receiving, inventory, etc. An example would be: A RFID chip is in an expensive pair of jeans, someone tries to steal them and the scanner detects the RFID chip and the alarm goes off. At the same time, the chip tells the store what items, color, size, etc is being stolen. The same chip will be used by employees for inventory, etc. A recent use is passports, drivers license, etc. The governments are putting RFID in our identification cards. Not only does this make us easily detectable within 300 feet by any techy Joe, but makes us INCREDIBLY vulnerable to information theft. On the chip is your Social, Credit Card number, pin, height, eye color, etc... basically if it is a chip in your passport it will have all details of your passport that are on the first page. People can EASILY steal this information from the RFID chip with a $50 RFID reader from amazon that connects to any android. And dont think that the aluminum foil wallets help, they dont. THe new RFID chips are at a much higher frequency, which isnt blocked by the aluminum.
I personally do not trust the government in a large crisis. I would prefer to not be easily tracked. The easy way to destroy these chips is to microwave the card/passport for approx 1-2 seconds. Be careful, as the circuitry could catch fire, especially if left in longer than 2 seconds.
YOUR PETS! They will be the doom of you in a doomsday scenario! If you are bugging out, wanting to evade everyone, your pet will be EASILY tracked, making you tracked. Your pets RFID would probably include your address, phone number, name, etc. They would know exactly who they are dealing with long before you even know you have been found.
CLOTHES!! A lot of costly clothes, especially at walmart, have imbedded RFID chips in them now. Those new pants may be tracking you.
Do some research. I can see where the tech is incredibly useful for companies... but I also see how useful it is for tracking, by anyone.
Suddenly that tinfoil hat, and over coat are looking more stylish to the paranoid preppers. If you know where they are, metal ducting tape over them will render them useless. We use RFID tags to gain entry in areas at work .... I made a sleeve out of metal tape and it worked just fine. I've also seen people make wallets out of it and they swear it blocks the readers. Lets hope they don't implant the tags in those flu shots or some other subcutaneous system.

I just found out about the new "Enhanced Drivers License", being pushed in Ontario and maybe B.C. Right now I believe it is being advertised as a voluntary card that would be a benefit to the user. (I also see that they spell license incorrectly as "licence".)
How long before this "benefit" becomes mandatory across the country? This is clearly a citizen tracking device.
I'll finish with a humorous note. When crossing into the U.S. and they ask how far you live from the border, don't say. "A short boat ride." You WILL be detained.

Anyone (besides myself) wondering if these are the "mark" the Bible talks about ? I be darned if I would ever get one implanted. Implementation of such a system where you "need" it to do banking is one of me flags for bugging out.
Absolutely.
I will die before I am subjected to this.
Know what you believe in! 🙂

Give respect, get respect.
It's never the tech itself, only the way it's used and the potential for abuse is huge here.
This is where a little tinfoil is a good thing. Wrap all your chip cards in a layer of metal. Make a folded card holder of tinfoil or popcan skin, or go high end and get an RFID blocking wallet.
Or you can blow a whole $20 and solve the problem.

LMAO - It's time to go Garlowin. When is the last time you did banking without using your banking card or using the internet? You had might as well make some room for CentralAB as well (just in case dieing proves too difficult). Do you really imagine RFID chips would be forcibly implanted in peoples bodies? When we willingly carry them everywhere we go? When we post our every move, every meeting, every mundane thought on twitter / facebook / flickr? Christians have been going on about this "mark" for as long as John's revelations has been embraced by the church. At least they aren't burning witches at the stake for having moles and birthmarks anymore!

I don't Facebook or Twitter, I don't have a GPS unit from the vehicle manufacturer, I do however have RFID cards in my wallet. With those chips you can be tracked while walking down a mall and into any RFID equipped retail establishment whether you purchase anything or not. My last post on this string has the answer to electronic exposure of your RFID credit and bank cards, a folding pocket sized Faraday cage.
If you have a smart phone, unless you have cancelled the app, chances are that you have GPS tracking that allows those in the know how to tell where you are.

It would be nice if non-believers would simply ignore believers...researching "the mark" will lead you to Islam if you study it. There was a video I watched the other day about the GPS in your phone, take the back off and there is a small piece that says GPS, snip it out and put the cover back on.
The chip of the beast will go in your right hand or your forehead,different than a phone were you can cut it out,it might hurt on the forehead

It's a little bit more poetic, and about as relevant.

Very funny Antsy. 
I remember my ex being so paranoid about "the mark" and the banks.
Anyway, from someone who is well versed in the technology, i.e. an Elect. Engineer, I can tell you that yes the technology can be abused but it has been designed with good intent.
Only the truly paranoid need worry. Of course, taking reasonable precautions to avoid hacks, loss of personal info or financial data is always a good idea.

Rev 14:9 - 11
"9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."”
Garlowin,
You’re killing me. There is, in point of fact, a third part.. and a fourth, and a fifth part to what you’ve posted - ad nauseum. There is much in Rev 14: et al that I specifically don’t like about this cult. Its infatuation with sex for one, its degradation of women, and its absurdity. What more can one expect from a bronze age religion as revealed to the illiterate, superstitious sheep herders of Palestine? No Garlowin, it is in you that I’m most disappointed. With all of the benefits of education, science, medicine, and rational thought you have instead chosen superstition and ignorance. Garlowin please, please keep ‘the great winepress of the wrath of god’ to yourself.
