My Biography is Coming Soon...

An Informal Poll

Blog Posted by Eric Nolan: 11/29/2009 8:20:00 AM
In my travels on the web I happened upon some interesting and equally alarming information contained in the potential new health care reform bill. Located deep in the back pages of this 1000 + page bill outlined an implantable device for the purposes of data collection for "medical purposes". Now me being the skeptic of anything the government has its hands in I have to pose a question to you all. Would you allow yourself to be chipped if the law demanded it ? I will give you my reason and answer now. Short answer: NEVER My reason: I believe it would be the mark of the beast as foretold in the Bible. And to a much lesser degree, My body My Rules ! I WON'T BE CHIPPED ! How about you ? whats your position ?

Understood Patricia, like I mentioned I prefer to err on the side of caution than remain silent. I read from pages 1001 to 1008 and for some reason words like "implantable" "registry" and "surveillance" were noted. Words I wouldn't expect to find in a health document. Then again I am just a simpleton who leans towards a cautious approach when it comes to Uncle Sugar. Like the saying goes the only difference between extreme caution and paranoia is a tin foil hat. Thank you for your input.

Every time I pass by the horse farm and they are facing the other direction, I think congress is in session. Congress is composed of mostly lawyers and oh yes, the elitist bitch Speaker of the house who did more to manipulate the stock market (American Samoa) than Martha Stewart ever did. Do you really believe they won't use those chips for targetting personnel. They also have written into it, free abortions, but not worded that way. These aren't public servants, they are scum bag politicians with more liberalism than the Roman Empire had when it fell. Congress can put hand grenades up their a__ and allow the public to have a pin pulling contest. Vince

Unlimited terms ? wouldn't that be a dictatorship ? If that were that case where would the madness end ? hmmm an interesting point I shall have to look into. I suspect 2010 is going to be quite an alarming year. How powerless and small one feels just waiting for the end.......to begin. Thank you for your input Tim.

Eric - They can take their 'chips' and shove them where the sun don't shine! I am in the process of downloading the software needed to read this bill...All I can say now is that we seem to be on the fast-lane towards complete centralized government or a 'Socialist State' The next step would of course be Communism which has already collapsed on its own in the former Soviet Union...I would also invite all in this discussion to read up on the warnings by some of our Founding Fathers (Thomas Jefferson for one) about the danger of unlimited terms in both the House and Senate...Tim

Part of a successful control doctrine is misinformation and misinterpretation. Keeps the masses confused and debating while the core agenda is executed. My interpretation may be incorrect I honestly do not know. I would rather err on the side of caution than remain quiet. Thank you Donna and Jim for your views on this. It is most appreciated.

I'm with Donna. Don't want no chip negating my privacy or telling my personal information, but I'm really getting ill with all the misinformation, misinterpretation, and other bull crap surrounding volitale issues. Reckon they wouldn't be issues then, would they. Thanks Eric. You got us a-lookin' an' a-readin'. ~<><

I've read the portion of the bill which proposes data tracking on medical devices. The way I understood it, this means that each MEDICAL DEVICE used in healthcare (including those which MAY be implanted in a patient, such as an artificial knee) would be tracked and identified. I did not see anything in the document that proposes mandatory installation of a chip in human patients for identification purposes or otherwise. I would invite anyone to read the portion of the bill (on page 1001!!) and see if they find the meaning to be different than my interpretation. Eric, again, I thank you for another thought-provoking blog. You keep me on my toes. I appreciate anything that will get me thinking and keep me sharp. Also, my stand is the same on any future discussion on human chip identification.....NO WAY!! Big hugs, Donna

I find it interesting Katherine that you would refuse a chip for yourself but would allow it for your daughter. Thank you for your input.

Donna I refer you to the following link http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/pdf/111/AAHCA09001xml.pdf I refer you to the section marked Subtitle C—National Medical Device Registry Now mind you I do not claim to be an expert at interpreting this document but the wording to me is at the very least alarming. I invite you to draw your own conclusions.

Thank you James, I actually have already written several stories a long time ago dealing with government conspiracies. I just haven't found the right venue to display them. I appreciate your input. I love stirring up the pot here on the soup. It lets me know people are still alive.

My first response to your question is NO CHIP for me! Not gonna happen! My second response is where did you get this information? Its so difficult to sort out all of the material that is flying around in cyberspace. It's come to the point where I can't believe any type of warning that comes into my e-mailbox. Nor, can I be certain that "information" on any given website is anything but biased opinion fed to us as facts. We live in a complicated day. We live in a world of vicious fabrications and a world where mud slinging is acceptable for political gain or attempted political destruction. I just want the facts, pure and simple. I don't want anyone telling me what to think. Please give me your sources, Eric...I'd be interested in checking it out. Thanks for another interesting blog! Hugs, Donna
