Implantable RFID tracking chips. You know, to stop terrorism.
And to keep tabs on all the welfare queens, in order to keep tax dollars accountable.
There will be other rationales, too.
But really, governments just want to do all the spying they can within their power – and right now, technology offers more power than ever before to carry out universal surveillance, track and trace every person and every thing and put civil rights in the backseat where they belong.
The latest proposal from a politician in the Finnish government seems like a near-future dystopic film, but may not be far reality.
It’s not much of a stretch to imagine that the U.S., Britain or other governments in Europe would do this too, if they could get away with it.
In fact, an RFID chipped population could only be years away.
Sputnik News reports:
A politician from Finland’s conservative Finns Party suggested implanting welfare recipients with satellite-tracking chips following news that some recipients continued receiving payments after leaving the country to join ISIL.
A member of Finland’s right-wing Finns Party, Pasi Maenranta, has suggested implanting all recipients of government assistance with satellite-tracked chips if they choose to leave the country.
Maenranta made the proposal after Finnish media revealed that some recipients of government assistance continued to receive payments after leaving the country to join ISIL in Syria and Iraq.
“The law should be changed: To receive payments from Kela [the Social Insurance Institution], one has to tell exact data about your location using your personal code, read by a satellite. It is also possible to implant electronic chips to all going abroad, who for example receive medical welfare from Kela,” Maenranta wrote on his Facebook page.
It is true that Western governments essentially created ISIS, by agitating angry Muslims with continued aggression, while at the same time funding the “new al Qaeda” extremist group via the misguided efforts to arm and bankroll “Libyan rebels” and “Syrian rebels.”
Really, the Pentagon and NATO have been building up our own enemy, and using its horrendous violence to frighten the public back into the War on Terror.
Under the new twist, Muslim immigration to the West has been increased, and Western governments have been subsidizing future jihadists, too. Many are on the government dole, until and even after, they decide to leave and join ISIS/ISIL.
Meanwhile, normal struggling citizens who accept government assistance might be tracked via an implanted chips… betraying all the rights governments in “free countries” are supposed to protect. They might not be doing anything wrong at all, but now they are under constant watch.
But as George W. Bush famously said, “they hate us for our freedoms,” right?
I suppose “they” ought to start with “themselves” since “they” are the biggest welfare recipients of all if you’d like to exclude crony corporations .All you guys have computers and when you’re done listening to sunday morning coming down listen to the man in black. Not to be smart or cool but just for your own good.
No, Mac Slavo (you lying Zionist shill). Implantable RFID chips are NOT in my future, because I have a big gun and I won’t allow it.
Your prophesies of doom always seem to forget that the people can stand up and resist.
“Really, the Pentagon and NATO have been building up our own enemy,…”
Hardly.
THEY’RE our own enemy.
As bad as you hate me you’ve got that right, NWO hater. My prophecies of doom are backed by the greatest economists who ever lived and backed also by the worse ones who have ever died including Hegel, Marx and Keynes. How about a little Human Action? Ever heard of Mises?
? I have no idea what you’re talking about.
Whatever disagreement we had I’ve already forgotten. If it wasn’t serious enough that I cussed you out royally, then it wouldn’t leave a lasting impression.
I don’t hate anyone who posts on FTT. Occasionally posters will say something stupid or make an unsupportable claim, and I feel obliged to call them on it. That’s just my nature.
Your tredding on thin ice, Carl. “My Prophesies of doom”? Earth to Carl, get a F’N clue.
Well Carl,
The way I see it, the government already bit off more than they can chew…
They’re gonna choke on it…mark my words.
Today it’s the welfare bunnies. Tomorrow it’s food stamp recipients. Then Medicaid, Social Security and government employees.
If you become dependent on government, they own you.
Implant RFID chips to welfare recipients? You mean so they can catch those evil welfare people (sarcasm) like the one shown in this article posted earlier?

So how come no mention of implanting them in illegal immigrants so they can actually show up to their hearings, since 99% never show up. Love the selective enforcement (sarcasm). Communism at its finest.
