PRLog (Press Release) –
Jan 28, 2008 – Consider a world where everyone and everything is tagged with a tiny RFID/GPS dot or invisible RFID ink. Consider a future "RFID Internet" where billions of RFID-tagged items and people wirelessly transmit their location and condition wherever they may be. Consider how this powerful emerging technology may be used by a future global governance bent on controlling humanity to its will while at the same time promising freedom and security to a world terrified by environmental disaster, terrorism, and economic ruin.
According to author Daniel J. Gansle in his book, Your World, Your Future, & Bible Prophecy, this is precisely where emerging RFID/GPS technology is leading. While Mr. Gansle cites many positive aspects of RFID, at issue is the preservation of individual privacy and liberty. This battle between freedom and technological enslavement becomes particularly poignant as GPS is fused with RFID to produce not only a short-distance location capability, but also the ability to track any object or person on the planet within a one-meter radius.
QUOTE:
"Now try to imagine how this would work if every world citizen was implanted with an active RFID/GPS microchip, or better yet, tattooed with [invisible] RFID/GPS ink or affixed with a tiny, barely visible GPS-enabled RFID dot. Whether they are trapped in their attics, stuck in their basements, severely injured and lying on the floor, perhaps missing critical medications – in an instant, they would be located and help would arrive quickly. Authorities would know exactly what measures to take in the rescue effort. Lives would be saved. Sounds good, right? At the same time, we must ask the question: at what price to our liberties and freedoms?" (Chapter 4, p. 102).
