RFID in Vaccines
By Adam Curry on Saturday, March 19, 2011 at 8:09 PM.
A picture named How-to-blockkill-RFID-chips.jpgOne of my (many) theories on the No Agenda podcast is about the intent to inject tracking devices into the population under the cover of vaccinations. permalink
They don't call me the 'Crackpot' for nothing. permalink
This morning I received an email from on of our show's producers, who put together such an astounding list of documentation that not only proves the theory is valid, but may even be being put in play with the recent changes in the 500Mhz radio spectrum. permalink
With his permission, I am reposting his email verbatum here. permalink
ITM John and Adam! permalink
I've been a little behind with my listening recently and had to catch up to make sure you hadn't covered this since then, so apologies for taking a while to get this to you. permalink
In episode 277 you talked about two stories: the BBC talking about RFID tag tests in Euros (coming soon to a dollar bill near you) and the roll out of the 500 mhz wireless network. I got the punchline, but when I waited for you guys to talk about it, it never happened. So here's the multi-layer payoff in case it's slipped by: permalink
Firstly, the quote from the BBC article that said "We're even seeing if we can make tags thin enough to go into banknotes" is bullshit. Hitachi announced in Feb 2007 that they've developed an RFID chip just 5 microns thick that's small enough to be embedded in paper. RFID tags have apparently been in 20 Euro notes since Feb 2007Ê (the European Central Bank statement has since been removed from their site of course), and it was noted back in 2003 that it's Hitachi working with the ECB to put RFID into Euro notes. permalink
Secondly, both the US and UK governments are looking to free up the 500mhz spectrum for use as a national wireless network. They're both angling to have this in place by 2020, but the question is: why the 500mhz range specifically? Well that would be because 500mhz is the minimum spectrum needed to read RFID tags with a wireless network! (badum-tish) permalink
I work for the NHS, and this exact technology (albeit a more bulky version) was one we were asked to look into in 2007 for tracking patients and IT assets within our wireless network. We ultimately decided not to bring it in due to the cost, but the technology is mature and works. permalink
Want to go one better?  permalink
Hitachi announced as far back as 2005 that they have developed an RFID chip that, unlike normal RFID chips, can: "operate in solution, it can be used to detect and transmit SNP data from within a sealed container holding a DNA sample solution, using passive RF communication, to an external reader/writer unit located outside the solution. Further, anticollision control was developed to enable data collection from multiple chips in the same solution at the same time. permalink
This technology is expected to provide a simple and convenient SNP typing method for healthcare tailored to individual genetic predispositions (tailor-made medicine) in local clinics and hospitals. This work was performed as a part of a research and development project of the Industrial Science and Technology Program supported by New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization in Japan (NEDO)." permalink
Still wondering why they're so eager for us to get our shots? permalink
Welcome to mass-movement tracking in realtime of currency and people! Want to know who that is on the CCTV demonstrating in front of a government building? Just triangulate using the nearest three wireless access points (government provided for your pleasure) and read off the IPv6 addresses of the RFIDs in the vaccinated slaves - what could be easier!? permalink
It's also worth noting that RFID isn't read only. The tags can be marked remotely, for instance to call authorities, or to refuse acceptance. Screw with the government and have all of your cash turned off and every wireless access point calling the cops as it scans you? Sounds fun! permalink
Gotta love this free new world... now to go get my RFID shots and pick up my RFID money ;) permalink
