RFID+ Boycott

Hello everybody.

I am calling for an immediate boycott of CompTIA's RFID+ due to new knowledge that I have received about the dangers of RFID technology. You see, RFID has one purpose and that is tracking things.... or people.

40 international civil liberties groups have called for a moratorium on the use of RFID until acceptable privacy standards can be put in place. There are quite a few companies that have ignored this request including, CompTIA, Levi Strauss, Tesco (UK), and a few others.

There is a company in existence called VeriChip that is very eager to implant humans with RFID chips. They already proposed to the US government that we implant illegal immigrants so that we can track them. This is the most frightening Orwellian thing I have ever heard of and we need to reject it. Any perceived embracing of this use of technology will lead to all of us being "chipped" and tracked.

Please note that this is not just a U.S. issue. Abuses of RFID are gaining steam all over the world.

I can see that sex offenders would deserve to be tagged like this (because so many of them violate their current tracking procedures), but this is just plain ridiculous. However, until they greatly-advance the technology, this chip would easily be shielded from being read by wearing clothing made with heavy metals, etc (like lead). So this cannot be a quick way to tag criminals.

I bet if the supporters cannot get a single group or a couple groups to agree being tagged without them crying "discrimination!", they'll try to tag everyone in the country so they have to comply or leave. If the government passes a law to have all citizens tagged like this without choice, I think I'll move out of the country. And I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't stand for this.

This is exactly what a lot of people are afraid of - and now I am since this has been brought to my attention. Our government is notorious for using something called "mission creep" whereby the original task is spread to the rest of the country because it works so well, or because they want to appear even-handed as you said.

You are exactly correct in your statement regarding comply or leave. With the National ID card, the federal government is calling it voluntary for the states, but they also say that if a state does not comply, their citizens will not be able to get social security, fly on a plane, etc.. Is that really voluntary?

I will not get a National ID card and I won't be implanted. Like you said, I will be moving out of the country and renouncing my citizenship when these things happen.

If these types of things are of interest to you, check out my new site:

Your national ID card is called Social Security Card and i am sure you might even have a driver license (though thats not mandatory) but to do anything even get a job you need social security number so um i guess thats null and void for you

Also about you won't be implanted, you sure won't but your kids when they are first born and you won't even know it, and all they might tell you is "just a routine vaccine for *insert disease name here* " and you'll just be like "oh ok carry on" . You wouldn't question it. Or for kids to get into public school they need immunization shots and happen chance one of those shots are the RFID tag but you'll never know since again run by government they will just say its immunization for some disease and your kids needs it or he doesn't get into school so...........


Not to rain on your parade just an FYI on what you might not of thought of.

I don't think they would get away with tagging people without consent. They'd have to sneak it into the law, or sneak it in the paperwork for those immunizations. Because if they tagged people without telling anybody, there would be high hell to pay when the public found out.

ol people find out = high hell......................lets see electronic voting machines SHOWED TO TALLY VOTES WRONG and could easily be hacked, not only was it not shown on any new stations paid by the government (fox,cnn...) but noone complained or said for a recount.

Everyone says how they hate this government, guess what guys BOYCOTT, by law we can boycott and kick every administrator out but everyone is so afraid after everything the police force has done to push their power upon us. And hell from last i heard we have become a military state because of the "war" so the military has complete control over us incase people did start an uprising. Oligarchy rules Smile

I seem to remember a huge uproar about recounting in California, and the recount WAS DONE. It was even found to not have changed the end result, the democrats were just whining as always. And of course, they will always say the recount was probably incorrect too. Some people just can't lose gracefully. Computer glitches are one thing, tagging everybody with a tracker is quite a bit larger scale. I severely doubt it would go unnoticed for long. It would show up on xrays/MRIs too, I'm sure.
