*RFID Chips & Cancer

Pakalertpress, 22 june 2013

There is the explosion of use of RFID [Radio Frequency Identification] chips. They are made of a two-way radio antenna, and some encasement or support, such as small glass vial implanted under the skin. The origins of this technology go back to 1948 when the idea was first conceived. They are now found in ATM and credit cards, and some “enhanced” driver’s licenses, highway toll systems, and inventory tracking systems.
RFID chipFirst our animals were RFID chipped. Supposedly, it was to keep track of them in case of theft or if the animal was lost. However, from the very beginning, there were medical reports that the site at which a dog or cat was chipped became the site of an aggressive carcinogenic tumor. Mainstream news did not report these dangers.
A review of the scientific literature from 1990-2006 documents “Microchip-Induced Tumors in Laboratory Rodents and Dogs.”(3) There are also numerous reports from pet magazines of microchiped animals who have developed these cancers soon after being chipped and then died.
Another scientific report on cancer and microchipping is here:
Inevitably, it was then just a short jump from our pets being chipped to the next step: our children. There are reports of children’s clothes being chipped to track them in school or for truancy. Some misguided and mis-informed parents thought that this would be a good way to keep tabs on their children; and they have supported having their children physically chipped. This is not only morally and ethically reprehensible, but also an invasion of privacy. This step now holds the same carcinogenic dangers for children that are also seen in pets.
The latest direction in chipping the human population comes from the hidden part of the Obama “health care” reform. Who reads more than 1,000 pages of mostly incomprehensible “doublethink” drivel? The Senate Healthcare bill HR3200 was passed in 2010, and requires the implant of an RFID chip in every American. This chip will be inserted into our skin and linked to all our banking, medical, and other personal documents. Here is a short quote:
“The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that— ‘is or has been used in or on a patient; ‘and is— ‘a class III device’; or ‘a class II device that is implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining.’”(4)

Since there is no actual mention of the word “RFID” chipping in the bill, one must then go to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to find that this “medical device” is actually an RFID chip.(5) The entire wording of this document is loaded with doublespeak and massive obfuscation. It is a deliberate and criminal act of harm cloaked in Orwellian terminology. How many Americans know that this is part of this so-called health care “reform”?
So, we continued to be tracked by corporations and agencies – no longer working for us. Since these devices can be linked to constant and toxic monitoring, who isn’t to say that these chips could actually be “turned off” without our knowledge, and this terminates a life?
Katherine Albrecht, the co-author of “Spychips: How Major Corporations and Governments Plan to Track your Every Move” and head of the consumer group, Consumers Against Supermarket Privacy Invasion and Numbering [CASPIAN] says:
“The reason you’re starting to see [RFID tags show up in credit and ATM cards] is that the industry itself did some studies and found that people spend more when they actually don’t have to handle their credit card. The act of looking at your card, and the act then of having to get out your pen and sign for [the purchase] creates many decision points at which a consumer could decide NOT [author emphasis] to make the purchase.”(6)
This is all about manipulating consumer choices, no matter what the risks involved. So far, four states have banned forced human RFID tagging: Wisconsin (2006), California (2008), Missouri (2008), and North Dakota (2012).
