Is Micro-chipping the World Behind Switch to DTV?
According to a former 31-year IBM employee, the highly-publicized, mandatory switch from analog to digital television is mainly being done to free up analog frequencies and make room for scanners used to read implantable RFID microchips and track people and products throughout the world.
So while the American people, especially those in Texas and other busy border states, have been inundated lately with news reports advising them to hurry and get their expensive passports, “enhanced driver’s licenses,” passport cards and other “chipped” or otherwise trackable identification devices that they are being forced to own, this digital television/RFID connection has been hidden, according to Patrick Redmond.
Redmond, a Canadian, held a variety of jobs at IBM before retiring, including working in the company’s Toronto lab from 1992 to 2007, then in sales support. He has given talks, written a book and produced a DVD on the aggressive, growing use of passive, semi-passive and active RFID chips (Radio Frequency Identification Devices) implanted in new clothing, in items such as Gillette Fusion blades, and in countless other products that become one’s personal belongings. These RFID chips, many of which are as small, or smaller, than the tip of a sharp pencil, also are embedded in all new U.S. passports, some medical cards, a growing number of credit and debit cards and so on. More than two billion of them were sold in 2007.
Whether active, semi-passive or passive, these “transponder chips,” as they’re sometimes called, can be accessed or activated with “readers” that can pick up the unique signal given off by each chip and glean information from it on the identity and whereabouts of the product or person, depending on design and circumstances, as Redmond explained in a little-publicized lecture in Canada last year. AFP just obtained a DVD of his talk.
Noted “Spychips” expert, author and radio host Katherine Albrecht told AMERICAN FREE PRESS that while she’s not totally sure whether there is a rock-solid RFID-DTV link, “The purpose of the switch [to digital] was to free up bandwidth. It’s a pretty wide band, so freeing that up creates a huge swath of frequencies.”
As is generally known, the active chips have an internal power source and antenna; these particular chips emit a constant signal. “This allows the tag to send signals back to the reader, so if I have a RFID chip on me and it has a battery, I can just send a signal to a reader wherever it is,” Redmond stated in the recent lecture, given to the Catholic patriot group known as the Pilgrims of Saint Michael, which also is known for advocating social credit, a dramatic monetary reform plan to end the practice of national governments bringing money into existence by borrowing it, with interest, from private central banks. The group’s publication The Michael Journal advocates having national governments create their own money interest-free. It also covers the RFID issue.
“The increased use of RFID chips is going to require the increased use of the UBF [UHF] spectrum,” Redmond said, hitting on his essential point that TV is going digital for a much different reason than the average person assumes, “They are going to stop using the [UHF] and VHF frequencies in 2009. Everything is going to go digital (in the U.S.). Canada is going to do the same thing.”
Explaining the unsettling crux of the matter, he continued: “The reason they are doing this is that the [UHF-VHF] analog frequencies are being used for the chips. They do not want to overload the chips with television signals, so the chips’ signals are going to be taking those [analog] frequencies. They plan to sell the frequencies to private companies and other groups who will use them to monitor the chips.”
Albrecht responded to that quote only by saying that it sounds plausible, since she knows some chips will indeed operate in the UHF-VHF ranges.
“Well over a million pets have been chipped,” Redmond said, adding that all 31,000 police officers in London have in some manner been chipped as well, much to the consternation of some who want that morning donut without being tracked. London also can link a RFID chip in a public transportation pass with the customer’s name. “Where is John Smith? Oh, he is on subway car 32,” Redmond said.
He added that chips for following automobile drivers – while the concept is being fought by several states in the U.S. which do not want nationalized, trackable driver’s licenses (Real ID ) – is apparently a slam dunk in Canada, where license plates have quietly been chipped. Such identification tags can contain work history, education, religion, ethnicity, reproductive history and much more.
Farm animals are increasingly being chipped; furthermore, “Some 800 hospitals in the U.S. are now chipping their patients; you can turn it down, but it’s available,” he said, adding: “Four hospitals in Puerto Rico have put them in the arms of Alzheimer’s patients, and it only costs about $200 per person.”
VeriChip, a major chip maker (the devices sometimes also are called Spychips) describes its product on its website: “About twice the length of a grain of rice, the device is typically implanted above the triceps area of an individual’s right arm. Once scanned at the proper frequency, the VeriChip responds with a unique 16 digit number which could be then linked with information about the user held on a database for identity verification, medical records access and other uses. The insertion procedure is performed under local anesthetic in a physician’s office and once inserted, is invisible to the naked eye. As an implanted device used for identification by a third party, it has generated controversy and debate.”
The circles will keep widening, Redmond predicts. Chipping children “to be able to protect them,” Redmond said, “is being promoted in the media.” After that, he believes it will come to: chip the military, chip welfare cheats, chip criminals, chip workers who are goofing off, chip pensioners – and then chip everyone else under whatever rationale is cited by government and highly-protected corporations that stand to make billions of dollars from this technology. Meanwhile, the concept is marketed by a corporate media that, far from being a watchdog of the surveillance state, is part of it, much like the media give free publicity to human vaccination programs without critical analysis on possible dangers and side effects of the vaccines.
“That’s the first time I have heard of it,” a Federal Communications Commission official claimed, when AFP asked him about the RFID-DTV issue on June 2. Preferring anonymity, he added: “I am not at all aware of that being a cause (of going to DTV).”
“Nigel Gilbert of the Royal Academy of Engineering said that by 2011 you should be able to go on Google and find out where someone is at anytime from chips on clothing, in cars, in cellphones and inside many people themselves,” Redmond also said.

This really is it folks.
Swine Jab and this….. Look up the georgia guidestones on google.
DE-POPULATION?
There should be some kind of list somewhere so we can find the products that have these chips in them like the gillette shaving blades. As for the RFID if they are going to inplant that on all people they would have to hunt me down first and drug me because Im not doing that on free will. Well I already have a chipped Visa card and a chipped passport, but I almost never buy new stuff so I dont think I have anything more that is chipped
Some of the information here was munched a bit. US digital TV is still transmitting on channels 7-13 on the VHF band and channels 14-69 on the UHF band. Channels 2-6 were given back to the FCC to auction off, which represents about 30Mhz. The channels above 69 were given back some time ago.
So certainly the chips can take advantage of the 30Mhz of the lower VHF band, but the frequencies have been auctioned off to mostly cell phone companies.
Another version of tracking is already in place right here on the Internet through all of our unique and individual I.P. addresses. I’m sure when I post on this and other sites, it is duly noted as to who I am, where I am and what I am saying. If this isn’t a descriiption of the mark of the beast all dressed up as new technology, I’ll eat my hat.
You will find In Revelations chapter 13 that the ‘ mark of the beast,’ a 6-6-6 digitized implant of some sort on the hand or forehead is required in order to citizens to buy or sell…. In the near future, all financial transactions will be made with this technology… those who take the identification mark will be choosing to worship the Anti Christ and his One World Order…. interesting how God paints us a vivid picture of futuristic events and we are beginning to see them happen as we speak…. When push comes to shove… I choose freedom and life and liberty…. As I watch our freedoms quickly being stripped away, I am reminded. I choose to serve not the God of this world, but the living God…
RFID tracking technologies will be the next big economic bubble. Sad and terrifying but true.
I know for a fact, that Walmart has agreed to allow some clothes manufacturers they buy from, to place embedded RFID chips into their clothes lines. Take a pair of jeans for example; the manufactures are embedding RFID chips within clothing labels, or within the stitching.
Personally, I am against RFID-ing anything – ESPECIALLY a person! I know we are in “those times” and I’ve noticed in the past few months that New World Order has quickened its pace. Our kids are so de-sensitized about it. My 15-yr old thought NOTHING of having “drug sniffing police dogs” come to her HS to sniff student’s and their backpacks for dope (by the way, no drugs have turned up in 6 searches!). I do not promote drug use; but I do see these searches as a form of “entrapment”.
I feel the same about RFID chips being placed in clothing, or any items that you are unaware of or have no choice but to purchase. I can understand why a clothing business would want to track their sales using an RFID chip in a pair of “jeans” – but only while they sat unsold in the store. It would prove useful for inventory, sales reporting, or setting “projected sales goals”. But, once those jeans are purchased – that little RFID chip shouldn’t come home with you!
What I DON’T understand, is WHY a business would want to track a pair of jeans AFTER they have been bought. Can any of you? I would think it’s an infringement on the Buyer’s privacy as well as a violation of a Buyer’s property rights! If you paid for the jeans-they are yours, and you are wearing them on your OWN body!
How useful is that pair of jeans once they are sold? NONE I can think of. Unless they want to know what social events those jeans have been at or maybe the “lifespan” of the jeans…I reaching out far….No, there is NO reason for the damn RFID chip to be embedded in clothing!
RFID chips placed on clothing would be a fast, easy, cheap, and sneaky way for the government to get into your business – your home, etc. And who else better then Walmart, to get into the New World Order “business”. Think of how many people in ONE day visiting only ONE Walmart, could walk out of the store RFIDed!
I know we cannot avoid it completely. Society as a whole, conforms quite easily-all it takes is a little media or a scare tactic; and more rules are made to “protect” us when really we are the ones who are being “attacked”. If we ALL became MORE aware on a daily basis and informed others – like this site, we could take action/boycott products, etc. I am glad to see that I am not alone in noticing changes. I worry for our kids, and what the future holds for them.
To the person who brought up the idea of starting a “List”; I think it’s an excellent idea – Walmart can be the 1st entry! Bless you all – KJ
There are several basic fallacies in Kare’s comments. For one, passive RFID transmitters have no power source of their own and are activated only by a “query” from the RFID reader. They have a maximum range of only 6 to 10 inches and cannot be read from further away. What’s more, they contain no information that cannot be read from the barcode on the item. They are very useful within the store environment because, when taking inventory, an employee does not need to scan the barcode on every pair of jeans, for example, but can simply “read” the RFID chips on every pair of jeans on the shelf, resulting in substantial savings that can be passed along to the consumer.
Even more important, a reader can only read chips from the same supplier . In other words, if the reader is made by Texas Instruments but the chip is made by Avid, the reader will be unable to read the chip. This is why dogs and cats microchipped with Avid chips cannot be scanned with a HomeAgain reader and vice versa. To make matters worse, a chip set to transmit at one frequency cannot be read by a reader, even one made by the same supplier, set to read at a different frequency. In other words, a reader set to read at 360MHz cannot read a chip set to transmit at 340MHz.
Within the controlled environment of a retail store, it is very easy to make sure that all readers and chips are from the same supplier and set to transmit and receive at the same frequency. In the real world environment, however, it is an entirely different story.
Would it be possible to track the location of a pair of jeans, for example, containing an embedded RFID chip as they passed through a doorway? Yes, but the door jamb would have to contain every possible brand of reader set to read every possible frequency – and even then, it would be impossible to know who was actually wearing the jeans. Even the most rabid conspiracy theorist would find it hard to believe that anyone would spend the hundreds of billions of dollars necessary to track the location of a pair of jeans worn by an unknown person.
Active RFID transmitters, which have their own power source (a battery, for example), have a somewhat longer range – usually a few hundred yards but in some cases, if powered by a high-voltage power source, as much as half a mile. Again, within the controlled environment of a retail store where readers can be powered by electrical circuits, this is quite possible. Batteries, however, are not separate but rather built into the chips themselves. As a result, the only way such chips could be implanted in humans would be if the person had the chip surgically replaced every two to three weeks or spent his or her life tethered to an electrical extension cord, hardly a likely scenario.
Finally, if a thin sheet of metal, or even a piece of wet cardboard, is between the chip and the reader, the reader is unable to read the chip. So in summary, the key words are, “within the controlled environment of a retail store.” The obstacles to use of RFID chips in the real world environment to track objects, let alone humans, are simply too difficult to overcome.
A company leading the charge for implanting everything (beside the human body) is RR Donnelly. They are making a huge push for this technology to be everywhere and they will be the data machine behind it all. Check into it.
Who’s to say they won’t be putting that RFID chip right into that needleful of poison they want to shoot into your arm? To “protect” you from the Swine Flu, of course. And , it’s For the Children, don’t you know? That always gets ‘em when nothing else does.
see haarp, rex 84, pnac, direct and indirect aerosol operations, ronald weinland, nasa and eris, protocols of the learned elders of zion, whatdoesitmean.com, stevequayle.com. prepare…………with love, annie ps their evil plan will NOT prevail…
Anyway so much for debunkers and reptards and shills and paidtard disinfos. There it goes, they are the ones debunking their previous statements that 200 gb flash drive memories are impossible blah blah, are you crazy flat tv’s, super thin televisions, supercomputers the size of a small box, telephone the size of your palm without the wires bs bs blah blah etc . when in fact they have it a long time ago and spreads hegelian mix of true info and disinfo to confuse the ordinary people with the true state of high but retarded technology of ptb-ptbs.==tbc==….
wait untill some people start getting tumers around the evil chip.
I read on these pages that there is a “chip” that operates on a persons body fluid as if YOU are the POWER SOURCE, is this true, It;s also noted that IF you were to have one of these “chips”, you might have possible swallowed the thing unknowingly ? and they say they are easy to find on-or in you body, and easy to remove ? WHO can remove these ? I am interested in an NAME & ADDRESS of these people.
In response to Robert P. Bakers post,
If the real world was too difficult to overcome in regards to tracking objects and humans carrying RFID chips, it leaves me to ponder on the statements made towards these chips tracked in more “advanced” scenarios.
Military personnel implanted or in possession of RFID chips are able to be tracked by satellite. This would imply much greater ability towards tracking then your comments describe. The military can easily make it mandatory for soldiers to be implanted with RFID chips just as they made it impossible for soldiers to refuse vaccinations without the threat of court martials. The bright side of their argument is of course, being able to locate any soldier(s) in need immediately where in the past it may never have been possible to locate them quickly if at all. (Don’t get me started on the cons…)
From the article: http://www.michaeljournal.org/newtechno.htm …
“The readers can transmit over telephone or by internet to computers and they use satellites as well. For example, Digital Angel has signed contracts with satellite providers to transmit their data for military personnel location beacons (PLBs). These beacons use the COSPAS-SARSAT satellite system. This system has some 400,000 digital beacons around the world and it’s rising to some 900,000. By the year 2009 they plan to have a GL stationary satellite system that will enable them to find the location and details of any beacon. You may sometimes see these at night; the GO stationary systemscan track any beacon. Skiers sometimes use them so that they can be identified, and sailors as well, if they become lost at sea they will be able to be tracked. Anything that has an RFID tag can be tracked by a reader or a computer.”
“An example of such transmission is a chip sold by Zarlink. This chip is implanted in a person; it tracks problems and if one is detected, it alerts the doctor who uses a two way RF link to interrogate and adjust the implanted device.”
“In 2006, IBM received a patent approval for an invention called, “Identification and tracking of persons using RFID-tagged items.” One stated purpose was to collect information about people that could be “used to monitor the movement of the person through the store or other areas.”
Now if those statements aren’t “subtly” telling us that we can be tracked by means of almost invisible new technology implemented in almost any aspect of our daily lives, I don’t know what would. Granted this technology has limitations; taking into consideration the points you make towards the passive, semi-passive and active chips needing certain scenarios in order to perform as intended. Batteries for example; some will die out quickly, others are self sustaining and can last considerably longer! Just consider, however, that this technology will continue to be improved upon and one can only guess where it may lead.
“Active RFID’s have an internal power source such as a battery. This allows the tag to send signals back to the reader, so if I have a RFID on me and it has a battery, I can just send a signal to a reader wherever it is. They can receive and store data, and be read at a further distance than the passive RFID’s. The batteries can only last a short while. But the current batteries in the RFID’s can last for over a hundred years, because of their self-generating power. Ultrawideband (UWB) allows the small battery operated RFID tag to be sensed over fairly wide areas. For instance, GE Aircraft Engines in Ohio has installed five readers in the factory and it covers over 30,000 square feet so they can track everything within that area with only the five readers. That gives you an idea of the distance that can be covered by an RFID tag that might be on you or on equipment.”
I am of two minds in regards to these chips; There are so many benefits that could be brought from this technology but I am afraid that it would never stop there. It is too much temptation for those in power to extend possible scenarios in order to have the technology forced into more private sectors.
I shudder to think of the day my country “tags” me like one of so many sheep, and I will continue to educate myself and others on this practice of quiet invasion into our lives.
Thanks 4 This Nice Read! I’ve found FreeCredit-Report.net is definitely a excellent site to check my credit report and see my score for nothing. Has Someone else tried it?
