HHS Announces Program to Implant RFID Tags In Homeless (Implications

Vis a Vis Codex Vitamin Issue)

 

IAHF Webmaster: Anti Chip, Codex, EU FSD, All Countries, What to Do

 

IAHF List: The purpose of the Codex effort to ban our access to supplements

world wide is to cull our numbers, plain and simple.

 

The US Department of Health and Human Services is the Federal Agency that

oversees the FDA. They have just announced an illegal plan to implant homeless

people with subdermal implants in order to track them like dogs ostensibly for

(ahem) " their own good. " The " reason " they give for implanting homeless people

is to keep them from shoplifting, and to track them to check on whether or not

they're coming in for forced medication, etc... (see the UPI article below)

 

Unless we all speak out against this to denounce it to our members of Congress,

it will only be a matter of time before Big Brother seeks to implant similar sub

dermal tracking chips in all of US. What can ALL of us DO world wide?

 

We can't stop Codex AT Codex- everything is RIGGED- its nothing but a form of

High Drama put on for public consumption but all decisions are made well in

ADVANCE of the Codex meetings. The ONLY CHANCE we have to monkeywrench Codex is

to support the ANH lawsuit to overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive- please

donate to http://www.alliance-natural-health.org

 

As I read the UPI Article Below about the US Nazi Government's Efforts to force

homeless people to take sub dermal implanted microchips so they can be tracked

like dogs,

 

The immortal words of Martin Niemoller haunt my current reverie:

First they came for the Communists,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me,

and by that time there was no one

left to speak up for me.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services

said Thursday that it was about to begin testing a new technology

designed to help more closely monitor and assist the nation's homeless

population.

 

Under the pilot program, which grew out of a series of policy academies

held in the last two years, homeless people in participating cities will

be implanted with mandatory Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags

that social workers and police can use track their movements.

 

The RFID technology was developed by HHS' Health Resources and Services

Administration (HRSA) in partnership with five states, including

California and New York. " This is a rare opportunity to use advanced

technology to meet society's dual objectives of better serving our

homeless population while making our cities safer, " HRSA Administrator

Betty James Duke said.

 

The miniscule RFID tags are no larger than a matchstick and will be

implanted subdermally, meaning under the skin. Data from RFID tracking

stations mounted on telephone poles will be transmitted to police and

social service workers, who will use custom Windows NT software to track

movements of the homeless in real time.

 

In what has become a chronic social problem, people living in shelters

and on the streets do not seek adequate medical care and frequently

contribute to the rising crime rate in major cities. Supporters of

subdermal RFID tracking say the technology will discourage implanted

homeless men and women from committing crimes, while making it easier

for government workers to provide social services such as delivering

food and medicine.

 

Duke called the RFID tagging pilot program " a high-tech,

minimally-intrusive way for the government to lift our citizens away

from the twin perils of poverty and crime. " Participating cities include

New York City, San Francisco, Washington, and Bethlehem, Penn.

 

Participating states will receive grants of $14 million to $58 million

from the federal Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness

(PATH) program, which was created under the McKinney Act to fund support

services for the homeless. A second phase of the project, scheduled to

be completed in early 2005, will wirelessly transmit live information on

the locations of homeless people to handheld computers running the

Windows CE operating system.

 

A spokesman for the National Coalition for the Homeless, which estimates

that there are between 2.3 million and 3.5 million people experiencing

homelessness nationwide, said the pilot program could be easily abused.

" We have expressed our tentative support for the idea to HRSA, but only

if it includes privacy safeguards, " the spokesman said. " So far it's

unclear whether those safeguards will actually be in place by roll-out. "

 

Chris Hoofnagle, deputy director of the Electronic Privacy Information

Center, said the mandatory RFID program would be vulnerable to a legal

challenge. " It is a glaring violation of the Tenth Amendment, which says

that powers not awarded to the government are reserved to the people,

and homeless people have just as many Tenth Amendment rights as everyone

else, " said Hoofnagle, who is speaking about homeless privacy at this

month's Computers Freedom and Privacy conference in Berkeley, Calif.

 

While HRSA's program appears to be the first to forcibly implant humans

with RFID tags, the technology is becoming more widely adopted as

retailers use it to track goods. Wal-Mart Stores said last year that it

will require its top 100 suppliers to place RFID tags on shipping crates

and pallets by January 2005.
