Obamacare has RFID, could g ive you cancer

What does the Troyan Horse contain?

Is this the payload in the Troyan Horse?This can be used to gain access to personal records, track movements in public places, make Camera IDing so much moreefficient by placing RFID sensors to them. Goody-two shoes argument has that it makes the diagnostics by remote linkingup of personal stats easy.

Then the issue of cross-access to other government agencies' Relational Databases , be The Police, FBI, Dept of HomelandSecurity, DoD, you name it, full systems integration, it takes passing an amendment to the legislation to enable cross-agency access to multiple databases to fully map the implanted subjects movements and vital signs (how cool is to inducedeath by having the chip self-destruct releasing a poison?), now I can see Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao and Hitler blushing with

jealousy then red with rage at super-efficient surveillance of the Populace. But first the Troyan Horse has to cross thePublic Opinion Gatekeepers .

Now the Poor (fodder for militancy and likely target for a close watch by Government Authorities, poor white trash joiningThe Militia down the track as the Economy continues to decline) can be kept under close scrutiny because they are morelikely to sign up to Obama's Free and Universal Health Plan , the argument will go along the lines making the dispensationof benefits more fair and accurate on those Americans with a predilection for Junk Food which will disqualify them fromGovt Benefits when visiting the hospitals.

Who can say no to Free and Universal Health Care unless you actually know what you're trading with the Government, canhow can we get the RFID chip to carry eMoney Credits?Too good to be true because it is.

Like Bush, Obama is proving to be an Establishment Bitch and Tool just the same, at least he can read speeches and isblack as brownie points if it is any consolation to the US Left.

MI CROCHIPP ING INCLUDED IN HEALTHCARE BILL

Submitted by celeste on Sun, 08/30/2009 - Buried deep within the over 1,000 pages of the massive US Health CareBill (PDF) in a section titled: Subtitle C-11 Sec. 2521, National Medical Device Registry, and which states its purposeas:

"The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the registry, tofacilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that; (A) is or has been used in or on apatient; (B) is a class III device; or a class II device that is implantable."

In real world speak, according to this report, this new law, when fully implemented, provides the framework formaking the United States the first Nation in the World to require each and every one of its citizens to have implantedin them a radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip for the purpose of controlling who is, or isn't, allowedmedical care in their country.

Source: Via 'Daily Ron Paul' - member of the U.S. Congress. - "Microchipping included in Healthcare Bill?" - Url.:http://www.dailypaul.com/node/105079Required RFID implanted chip

Sec. 2521, Pg. 1000 – The government will establish a National Medical Device Registry. What does a NationalMedical Device Registry mean?

National Medical Device Registry from H.R. 3200 [Healthcare Bill], pages 1001-1008:

(g)(1)The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subs ection referred to as the

‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes d ata on each device that— ‘‘(A) is orhas been us ed in or on a patient; ‘‘(B)and is— ‘‘(i) a class I II device; or ‘‘(ii) a class I I device that isimplantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining.” Then on page 1004 it describes w hat the term “data” means in paragrap h 1,

section B:

‘‘(B) In this paragr aph, the term ‘data’ refers to information respecting a device descr ibed in paragraph(1), including claims data, patient survey data, standardized analytic files that allow for the poolingand analysis of d ata from disparate data environments, electronic health records, and any other datadeemed approp riate by the Secretary” What exactly is a class II de vice that is implantable?

Appr oved by the FDA, a class II implantable device is an “implantable radio frequency transpondersystem for patient identification and health information.” The purp ose of a class I I devic e is to collectdata in medical patients such as “claims d ata, patient survey data, standardized a nalytic files thatallow for the pooling and analysis of data from disparate data environments, electronic health records,and any other data deemed app ropriate by the Secretary.”

See: http://www.fda.gov/downloads/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments /ucm072191.pdf

This new law – wh en fully implemented – provides the framework for making the United States thefirst nation in the world to require each a nd every one of its citizens to have implanted in them a radio-frequency identification (RFI D) microchip for the purpose of controlling who is, or isn’t, allowedmedical care in their country.

See Healthcare Bill H.R. 3200:[url http://waysandmeans.house.gov/media/pdf/111/AAHCA09001xml.pdf [/url]

Pages 1001-1008 “National Medical Device Registry” section.Page 1006 “to be enacted within 36 months upon passage”

Page 503 “… medical device surveillance”

Why would the government use the word “surveillance” when referring to citizens? The definition of “surveillance” isthe monitoring of the behavior, activities, or other changing information, usually of people and often in a secretmanner. The root of the word [French] means to “watch over.”

In theory, the intent to streamline healthcare and to eliminate fraud via “h ealth chips” seems right.But, to have the world’s lone superpow er (America, for now) mandate (p age 1006) a device to beIM PLANTED is scary!

Quote:

[...] Privacy

The use of RFID technology has engendered considerable controversy and even product boycotts by consumer

privacy advocates. Katherine Albrecht and Liz McIntyre, co-founders of CASPIAN (Consumers Against SupermarketPrivacy Invasion and Numbering), are two prominent critics of the technology who refer to RFID tags as "spychips".The two main privacy concerns regarding RFID are:Since the owner of an item will not necessarily be aware of the presence of an RFID tag and the tag can be read at adistance without the knowledge of the individual, it becomes possible to gather sensitive data about an individualwithout consent.If a tagged item is paid for by credit card or in conjunction with use of a loyalty card, then it would be possible toindirectly deduce the identity of the purchaser by reading the globally unique ID of that item (contained in the RFIDtag). This is only true if the person doing the watching also had access to the loyalty card data and the credit carddata, and the person with the equipment knows where you are going to be.Most concerns revolve around the fact that RFID tags affixed to products remain functional even after the productshave been purchased and taken home and thus can be used for surveillance and other purposes unrelated to theirsupply chain inventory functions.[83]The concerns raised by the above may be addressed in part by use of the Clipped Tag. The Clipped Tag is an RFIDtag designed to increase consumer privacy. The Clipped Tag has been suggested by IBM researchers Paul Moskowitzand Guenter Karjoth. After the point of sale, a consumer may tear off a portion of the tag. This allows thetransformation of a long-range tag into a proximity tag that still may be read, but only at short range – less than afew inches or centimeters. The modification of the tag may be confirmed visually. The tag may still be used later forreturns, recalls, or recycling.However, read range is both a function of the reader and the tag itself. Improvements in technology may increaseread ranges for tags. Having readers very close to the tags makes short range tags readable. Generally, the readrange of a tag is limited to the distance from the reader over which the tag can draw enough energy from thereader field to power the tag. Tags may be read at longer ranges than they are designed for by increasing readerpower. The limit on read distance then becomes the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal reflected from the tag back tothe reader. Researchers at two security conferences have demonstrated that passive Ultra-HighFID tags, not of theHighFID type used in US passports, normally read at ranges of up to 30 feet, can be read at ranges of 50 to 69 feetusing suitable equipmentn January 2004 privacy advocates from CASPIAN and the German privacy group FoeBuD were invited to the METROFuture Store in Germany, where an RFID pilot project was implemented. It was uncovered by accident that METRO"Payback" customer loyalty cards contained RFID tags with customer IDs, a fact that was disclosed neither tocustomers receiving the cards, nor to this group of privacy advocates. This happened despite assurances by METROthat no customer identification data was tracked and all RFID usage was clearly disclosed.[86]During the UN World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) between the 16th to 18 November, 2005, founder

of the free software movement, Richard Stallman, protested the use of RFID security cards. During the firstmeeting, it was agreed that future meetings would no longer use RFID cards, and upon finding out this assurancewas broken, he covered his card with aluminum foil, and would only uncover it at the security stations. This protestcaused the security personnel considerable concern, with some not allowing him to leave a conference room inwhich he had been the main speaker, and the prevention of him entering another conference room, where he wasdue to speak.[87][88]In 2004-2005 the Federal Trade Commission Staff conducted a workshop and review of RFID privacy concerns andissued a report recommending best practices.[89]RFID was one of the main topics of 2006 Chaos Communication Congress (organized by the Chaos Computer Club inBerlin) and triggered a big press debate. Topics included: electronic passports, Mifare cryptography and the ticketsfor the FIFA World Cup 2006. Talks showed how the first real world mass application of RFID technology at the 2006FIFA Soccer World Cup worked. Group monochrom staged a special 'Hack RFID' song.[90]Zeitgeist The Movie theorised that RFID chips will one day be used to track the world population and keep themunder control. Due to the nature of this film, they are presented as a negative technology.[edit]Human implantationThe Food and Drug Administration in the US has approved the use of RFID chips in humans.[91] Some business

establishments give customers the option of using an RFID-based tab to pay for service, such as the Baja Beachnightclub in Barcelona.[92] This has provoked concerns into privacy of individuals as they can potentially be trackedwherever they go by an identifier unique to them. There are concerns this could lead to abuse by an authoritariangovernment or lead to removal of freedoms.[93]On July 22, 2006, Reuters reported that two hackers, Newitz and Westhues, at a conference in New York Cityshowed that they could clone the RFID signal from a human implanted RFID chip, showing that the chip is nothack-proof as was previously claimed.[94]Surgery, even on a small scale, comes with its risks. The RFID chip implantation is no exception. According to DavidB. Smith, the author of “Using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology in Humans in the United States forTotal Control,”[12] Smith gives the examples of health risks such as “…adverse tissues reaction migration of implanted transponder, compromised information security, failure of implanted transponder, failure of insertion,failure of electronic scanner, electromagnetic interference electrical hazards, magnetic resonance imagingincompatibility, and needle stick” (38). Such risks can happen to anyone undergoing an implantation procedure.[edit]Government controlWith the rise of technology, some individuals have grown to fear the loss of rights due to RFID human implantation.

By early 2007 Chris Paget of San Francisco, California, showed that RFID information can be pulled from individualsby using only $250 worth of equipment. This supports the claim that with the information captured, it would berelatively simple to make counterfeit passports.[95]According to ZDNet, critics believe that this technology will lead to tracking individuals every movements and will bean invasion of privacy. The controversy however lies in that critics believe this power will become abused by thegovernment. Some conceptualize a future where every movement is tracked by the government.[96] In KatherineAlbrecht's SpyChips:

How Major Corporations and Government Plan to Track Your Every Move with RFID, one is encouraged to "imagine aworld of no privacy. Where your every purchase is monitored and recorded in a database and your every belongingis numbered. Where someone many states away or perhaps in another country has a record of everything you have

ever bought. What's more, they can be tracked and monitored remotely" [97].

Re: Obamacare has RFI D chips w ith it, Free!So what's the chip for? Well there are a number of uses and abuses, especially targeting, tracking, and spying.

For those into scripture on the "666" Verichip has an electronic cash feature.To the serious stuff; the RFID chips don't seem to react well to human tissue besides surveillance they arealleged to cause cancer tumours on rats (like mobile phone antennae).

Please examine the following links, if this a "global move", it means the EU andthe UK are next. Australia had the e-Healthcare bill to use RFIDs too, yep the whole 22 million Australians microchipped,the thing is the Medical History is not even encrypted to protect from Identity Thieves. This is another form "Universal[insert XYZ] right" from the Fabianists.Now those Dystopia Buffs can see this is the plot seen in the movie classic Total Recall, when Arnie removes the bug fromhis head, the Bad Guys were using GPS and RFID Technology to track him down. And that's how it is done ladies andgentlemen.I think this is why my last pet dog died of cancer, he was microchipped under the registration license.(see last link below).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verichip#Health_risks

Quote:

Health risksAccording to Wired News online[6], and the Associated Press[7], there have been research articles over the last tenyears that found a connection between the chips and possible cancer. When mice and rats were injected with glass-encapsulated RFID transponders, like those made by VeriChip, they "developed malignant, fast-growing, lethalcancers in up to 1% to 10% of cases" at the site at which the microchip was injected or to which it had migrated.However, the 10% rate was obtained with hemizygous p53-deficient mice, the counterpart of humans with theLi-Fraumeni syndrome, and rates near 1% were more typical.[8]

The Verichip corporation responded to this report, which caused a 40% drop in their stock value, by stating thatrodent data had been provided to the FDA and did not reflect the effect of the chips in humans or pets.[9] Rather,rodent foreign body sarcomagenesis is a unique reaction, as evidenced by the publication of only two isolated casesfrom the large number of dogs subjected to chip implantation. Induction of sarcomas by foreign bodies has beenreported in humans, and has been described as analogous to rodent foreign body-associated sarcomas, butoccurring rarely. Resolution of the question may be hindered by the long delay in onset of rare effects, as in the caseof other medical controversies regarding foreign objects such as the breast implant controversy and the risk of non-occupational asbestos exposure.

Re: Obamacare has RFI D chips w ith it, Free!The rationale for using the RFID chips is to have possible and expandable live stats data of the subjects with the tags. Thisis a reframed argument of the infamous Australia Card of the 1980s. Figures that Obama and Rudd have the same idea tokeep surveillance by integrating, upgrading and correlating the Social Security data, Tax Records, Financials and physicallocators, what's next an upgrade for Vital Signs? That means more scanners will be built as result in public places tomaintain the Government's Medical Database with fresh data.The finishing touch is to integrate this database with the anti-terrorist diatribe to produce real-time probabilisticinformation on the private business of citizens.That means Psy-ops as optional extras.If the above assumption is correct, and hence the need to have the RFID chips implanted is that unlike a card, token, ringor the like people can't "lose it" and hence it is medical information who wants to leave home without it, time for Gordon

Brown and the EU Commissioners to rattle on this. It should be the same Methodology and Argumentation to sneak it in.

The fun thing is that the government being such poor steward of public resources could privatise the whole thing. Nice eh?Corporate Fascism that appeared as something else.... very foxy, how could it abandon its 1980's Neo-liberalism? Now theReal Show 1984 begins.

Reject e-health identifier bill, says law professorKaren Dearne From: The Australian March 16, 2010 12:00AM

THE Healthcare Identifiers Bill should be rejected un til the Rudd government provides the full suite of legislation intended to supp ort new n ational electronic health initiatives, a Senate inquiry has b eentold.

Law professor Graham Greenleaf, co-director of the Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre at the University of NSW,said the fundamental problem was that the bill was incomplete, covering only a "small but central element of amuch broader health identification and surveillance system", including future personal e-health records.

"W hen seen in its entirety, this system shares a very large number of common elements with thediscredited and rejected Australia Card (in 1986-87) and the Access Card (2006-07) proposals putforw ard by governments from both parties," he said.

"The p arliament should reject this bill until the whole package for e-health records is p resented. Thedangers of this bill cannot be understood w ithout that context."

The Senate committee was due to report its findings last night. The bill passed the lower house last week, and isnow due for debate in the upper house.

Profess or Greenleaf told the inquiry that difficulties with the proposed healthcare identifier scheme

had been identified in three separate Privacy Im pact Assessments commissioned by the NationalE-Health Transition Authority, which developed the system in conjunction w ith Medicare Aus tralia. "But34 of the key recommendations resulting from those PI As have not been adopted in this bill," he said.

Professor Greenleaf called for amendments that would require the service operator and health providers to obtainindividual consent from patients before allocating and using their identifiers.

New provisions should also ensure that identifiers do not become an actual or de facto requirement for a person toaccess healthcare services.

While Medic are is to be the initial service operator for the first tw o years, "w ho runs the system can bechanged at any time", including to a private sector operator, by ministerial direction.

"Clearly a change of operator should never occur by regulations, but only by amending the legislation itself,"Professor Greenleaf said.

Earlier last week, NEHTA chief executive Peter Fleming told the inquiry results of the PIAs by Galexia, Clayton Utzand Mallesons Stephen Jaques had been "considered and advice taken on board".

The federal Privacy Commissioner's Office yesterday responded to questions on the issue, saying it was "not our roleto approve PIAs or their recommendations".

It said it hoped the legislation would provide "appropriate protections for the specific and limited objective of managing the creation and use of individual health identifiers". But it said: "Different privacy issues will arise if identifiers are to be used for expanded purposes within the national health system, and if clinical information is to beassociated with the identifier."

Re: Obamacare has RFI D chips w ith it, Free!It seems that something indeed is brewing. However, I think the article is a bit too alarmist; it's probably meant to be arhetorical weapon. There's a big leap between the two paragraphs below:

Quote:

"The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the registry, tofacilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that; (A) is or has been used in or on apatient; (B) is a class III device; or a class II device that is implantable."

In real world speak, according to this report, this new law, when fully implemented, provides the framework formaking the United States the first Nation in the World to require each and every one of its citizens to have implantedin them a radio-frequency identification (RFID) microchip for the purpose of controlling who is, or isn't, allowedmedical care in their country.

Even if it wasn't a big leap, introducing such a system would be political suicide for any government.

The article and the alarmist tone aside, this could indeed be an attempt to push the limits of the current legislation. Thereare probably strong business interests behind this. A government would have little use of such a system, but several kindsof companies would have much use of it. For instance, an employeer could potentially check the health of applying oractual employees and refuse employment on health grounds. There's no end to the possibilities of abuse when it comes to

insurance companies.

This depends on how "troyan" it could be made to get approved by the Public Opinion,it even escaped theanti-Obamacare detractors. We are for efficient, fair and effective e-health care right?The thing is, RFIDs can cause cancer tumours on lab animals, we are not sure how the radio frequencies interact withhuman biology and whether this is going to be escalated with increased scanning of the population which means moreregular doses of the radio frequencyemissions which forms part of the mass surveillance system.Ironically RFID can cause cancer and it is part of the Government's Health Revolution, very Orwellian in style? I rememberseveral complaints on mobile cell phone towers and people living under the fan of the high tension power lines gettingleukaemia in the 1990's and 1980's, of course we have such huge government contract that makes it worthwhile to get itpassed to rake in the billions in government-related profits a la Robocop.

It is worth commenting according to the critics of the PostiveID RFID chip is the FDA decision-maker Mr Tommy Thompsonstepped down soon after giving his approval to the Verichip Corporation, which then he took a paid position with theVerichip Corporation's Parent Company [*]. This must have been the reason why the reports on cancer on lab animalswere ignored when implanted with RFID chips. [$]

A version of the PositiveID RFID chip will also be used in America by the Postive ID Corporation. In the same fashion asDonald Rumsfeld while working for Reagan's FDA and following his approval of Nutrasweet (reports on neurological andmemory damage which was re-applied for).[1] The versions available have optionals as to vital statistics monitors forinsulin updatable with the online private medical database (HealthID) .

Re: Obamacare has RFI D, could give you cancerI'd say there are three ways to introduce an RFID system, and none of them is easy to pull through:

Stealth: Researching micosized RFID which literally can be injected in patients without their knowledge. This isunlikely, as exposure will lead to a political purge of gigantic proportions.

1.

Service benefits: Convince people that RFIDs will improve the services they receive from their insurance and healthproviders. This is quite unlikely to succeed in my opinion. People instinctively object against getting artificial objectsimplanted in their bodies if their health isn't seriously endangered; we are not talking pacemakers or hip jointreplacements here. Add potential risks of developing cancer or being monitored, and you have a project which is asdead as a doornail before it even has started.

2.

Health benefits: Convince people that RFIDs will improve their health, e.g. by monitoring colestrol. This couldactually work, but it would be difficult to implement. High-level government/corporate involvement and systematiccampaigns will arouse suspicion, and the health benefits would have to be concrete and substantial for people towillingly allow implantation of artificial objects in their bodies.

3.

This might be an attempt to test the limits, but it might just as well be political mud-flinging. Similar systems will beproposed in the future, especially in light of nanotechnology advances, but this is not the real battle; the technology issimply not efficient enough yet. The real battle will be fought 10-30 years into the future. Again, this might be an attemptto test the limits, though.

This might come closer with "Nano Dust" RFIDs improving their vital signs monitoring and encryption strengths.

See here http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2007/02/achi_develops_r/

What is the difference between "Testing the Limits" and "Seeking to have it implemented" it in practical terms Nexus?

The Australian Govt has already the legislation sitting on the Senate and Obama got it approved, a faulty technology thatcould cause cancer on humans and which had the negative lab reports ignored.http://parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/download/legislation/bills/r4299_first/toc_pdf/10027b01.pdf

Health benefits: Convince people that RFIDs will improve their health, e.g. by monitoring colestrol. This

could actually work, but it would be difficult to implement.

the health benefits would have to be concrete and substantial for people to willingly allow implantation

Fear will do the trick in getting people to rush get vaccines, elderly and young.Easy, preventative vaccination against the "flu" epidemic with nano RFIDs, the question is signal strength, which meansstrong power from government scanners.

About OpenCongress

OpenCongress brings together official government data with news coverage, blog posts, public comments, and moreto give you the real story behind what's happening in Congress. Small groups of political insiders and lobbyistsalready know what's really going on in Congress. Now, everyone can be an insider.OpenCongress is a free, open-source, not-for-profit, and non-partisan web resource with a mission to makeCongress more transparent and to encourage civic engagement.OpenCongress is a joint project of two 501c3 non-profit organizations,

the Participatory Politics Foundation and the Sunlight Foundation .

Sounds like heavy dollops of Motherhood statements and American App le Pie .Didn't do anything for the Bankers' Bailout beneficiaries or keeping both GS men Tim Geithner and Hank Paulson, or the

Goldman Sachs donations to Obama and the Democrats out of Government.

So how independent are they from the Incumbent Government and who are the Foundations funding them?

There is a point down the track to commercialise the Data Collection by theObamacare's Legislation; National Data Mining . This market is worth billions, it can be used to profile the population for adiversity of purposes, chiefly crime control, prevention, surveillance, health prevention, "Terrorism" prevention,dispensation of medical services, access to Public Facilities, welfare benefits, tax payments and compliance.

In America there is a game for cashed-up religious, corporate and private potentates; "Got an Agenda, set up aFoundation to do it, conceal your hands."

Sunlight Foundation Reporting Group: OGD: Future Medicare data looks promisingApr 12, 2010

The Centers for Medicare and Med icaid Services appear to be on to something w ith their promised newdatasets.

It's a leap for an agency w hose previous offerings w ere a confusing mishmash of poorly-labeled files.

If they continue to add granularity as they roll out more features, journalists could have a useful and innovative setof tools on their hands

The “Dashboard” CMS intends to create, a demo of which is currently online, looks at Medicare spending on services.It's a good tool for quickly grasping the big picture; you can view data as a bubble chart, for example, which makes

it easy to see changes over time. The information is available by state, diagnosis type and hospital (at least up tothe top 10 hospitals in each state), and can be downloaded in a spreadsheet.

But more granularity will be needed to make this truly useful for journalists. Adding county-level data, for instance,would allow comparisons by community.

Also, looking at the top 10 hospitals by state is of limited use when there are hundreds of hospitals in Californiaalone.There's also a new and improved interface up at data.medicare.gov.

That site allows you to compare the quality of care at various facilities. More on that in a later post.

The details about the rest of CMS' new datasets are less clear, but a couple of them look very promising.For example, a new claims database is due out in September.

The plan is to take a sample of five percent of the traditional Medicare population, strip all personalidentification data out, and present it by service type (inpa tient, outpatient, home health, prescriptiondrug, etc).

The claims will be accompanied b y demographic data, although its not clear exactly what this willmean. It could allow c omparisons by ethnicity, income level, and age

. Hopefully, we'll actually be able to see how much w e're spending on various segments of thepopulation.Another dataset that looks exciting and sh ould be available by the end of the year is a largeset of community health indicators.

CMS says the survey will include "hu ndreds (ul timately thousands)" of measures of health carequality, costs, diseases and types of services received.

This is the kind of data that could potentially answer q uestions like: as a young w oman living inBrowns ville, Texas with sus pected breast cancer, how likely are you to be given an MRI rather than amammogram?

How about if you're living in Marin County, California? These figures could be invaluable for public health analysis, asthey'll include obesity rates, smoking rates, etc., paired with costs and utilization of services. Read all about it

It appears that Obamacare's RFID PositiveID chipping of the population is part of the cross relational datasetintegration , the particular Open Government Think-tank is meant to defuse the Critics of the Mass Data Mining of thePopulation, which could then be integrated into Homeland Security's Databases, FBI and local authorities and have a queryrun on. These guys are shepharding The Govt Data Integration Project across Congress which elective representativeswill have a tendency to rely on to vote on the Obamacare Bill, it goes along the lines "Answering the Critics of Obamacare".

Let's say "Prospective Criminal Population". The thing is more people will be joining the ranks of the US Underclass as theUS Debt damages economic growth and employment rockets up which logically follows joining the government databasesand the conditional to get benefits microchipping. No Chipping, No Benefits . We need GPS enabling of the RFIDs inPublic Places now, that's efficient integration. No more crime.

And in order to obviate my distrust of Obamacare, there can be always another Database with all the identifiers as abackup in case of Disaster Recovery Policies .

In other words, they want to create a register over different medical devices (e.g. pacemakers) and implantable medicalaids (e.g. cochlear implants).

(I do, however, still think that implanting devices similar to RFIDs will become a reality within 10-30 years. The first andmain application will probably be means of payment, i.e. r eplacing credit cards, and the first country to try it will probablybe Japan.)

There’s a new rumor going around about the Democrats’ healthcare bill that’s so absurd and off-base that I hesitateto even bring it up here in order to debunk it .

The rumor, which is being spread mostly in online forums and hasn’t yet received any kind of validation from anational political figure* ,is that the bill would req uire all Americans to get a microchip embedd ed in their body so thegovernment can track them.

The chip has to have GPS enabling[ab], used in the Relational Databases to attack and commercialise personal data is yetanother issue on the RFID. Options available with PositiveID Corporation though, may be US Prison Population?Which means the critics of Obamacare fear that The President will have implants with a particular RFID device, a

“personal location device” (PLD), which integrates GPS.Thus:














Quote:

[..]Applied Digital Solutions is also developing a subdermal GPS P ersonal Location Device .

PALM BEACH, FL– May 13, 2003 – Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX), an advanced technologydevelopment company, today announced that it has developed and successfully field tested a working prototype of what the company believes is the first-ever subdermal GPS “ personal location device” (PLD). Field testingand follow-up laboratory testing of the disk-shaped prototype confirm that the specially designedantenna and the induction-based power-recharging method function properly.

The dimensions of this initial PLD prototype are 2.5 inches in diameter by 0.5 inches in depth, roughly the size of apacemaker.

As the process of miniaturization proceeds in the coming months, the Company expects to be able toshrink the siz e of the device to at least one-half and perhaps to as little as one-tenth the curren t size.

The induction-based pow er-recharging method is similar to that used to recharge implantablepacemakers.This recharging technique functions without requiring any physical connection between the power source and theimplant.

Dr. Peter Zhou, Vice President and Chief Scientist of Applied Digital Solutions, said:

“We’re very encouraged by the successful field testing and follow-up laboratory testing of this working PLDprototype.The specially designed antenna is working as planned. While reaching the working prototype stage represents asignificant advancement in the development of PLD, we continue to pursue further enhancements, especially with

regard to miniaturization and the power supply. We should be able to reduce the size of the device dramaticallybefore the end of this year.”

Last year, the Company announced that it was accelerating development of PLD in response to demand fromhigh-risk countries and other potential customers. The exact timing of commercial availability of PLD is unclearpending further technological refinements and achieving any required regulatory clearances. The PLD technologybuilds on United States Patent Number 5,629,678 for a "p ersonal tracking and recovery system" w hichApplied Digital acquired in 1999.

In its PLD announcement last year, the Company said it is committed to providing customers with a full range of “personal safeguard technologies” that enhance personal safety, security and peace of mind.

Other technologies in the Company’s line-up of life-enhancing technologies include VeriChip™, Digital Angel™, andThermo Life™.

You might be wondering what this product is for. My added bolding of the statement about the "high-risk countries"points to one obvious use.

They are probably referring to countries where kidnapping of w ealthy people for ransoms occurs much morefrequently than is the case in the most industrialized c ountries.Perhaps the device w ill be able to periodically broadcast a signal that reveals the location of a persononce kidnapped.

A really cool health application would be to combine a heart monitor with GPS and cellular phone digital messagebroadcast to alert emergency workers when a person is having a heart attack.Other people with medical conditions such as epilepsy or diabetes that put them at risk of experiencing acutemedical emergencies could also benefit from the ability of an embedded device to automatically make a cellular callfor help.

One could imagine people in high risk occupations such as forest fire fighters and search and rescue workers thathave a risk of their being lost or injured in remote locations benefitting from having such a device in them.

A lot of other applications for this kind of technology can easily be imagined.

For instance, parents could use it to keep track of the movement of their kids, either to find them atany moment in time or to dow nload a record of their movements wh en they come home. This could bedone surreptitiously so that a kid w ould never even know that a device had been implanted.

Law enf orcement officials could require use of embedded RFI D/GPS on parolees as a condition of parole.Stalkers who have court orders placed on them to avoid a celebrity or ex-girlfriend could similarly betracked. Another really interesting application w ould be counter-terrorism. Imagine a susp ectedterrorist having a GPS tracking device secr etly implanted.

One way to do it w ould be to drug a sus pected terrorist using food sent to his hotel room followed byinsertion of a device w hile he slept. He might never suspect that he fell asleep bec ause of drugs in hisfood if the drugg ing w as done at a time late enough at night.












[..]

Satisfied on the RFID with GPS tracking?** Makes hunting down troublemakers so either be Rapists, Child Molesters,Political Dissidents, Communists, Fascists, Al-Qaida militants, Peaceniks Muslim Suspects and Right Wing Militias or Leftwingers a breeze. You just need a criminal record to get it implanted.

This could even require a regulatory upgrade on the Medical RFID device use to self-powered RFID plus GPS. So there is areason for the bloody paranoia.

The Question: Why is the American Civil Liberties Union silent on RFI D+GPS now?Unless they are letting political partisanism with Obama and The Democrats rule their common sense in future changes of government and worsening civil liberties environment.

I’ve seen a few variations,including claims that everyone would need to get the microchips, only people who enroll in the public option wouldhave to get it,and that the bill doesn’t require the implants,but it leaves it open to the government to decide after it is passed if they want to require them.You can view forum threads on the topic here, here, here and here, for examples.The rumor first came to my attention when someone wrote into the OpenCongress Facebook group asking forinformation on it.

Quote:

This rumor about the bill requiring people to have microchips implanted in them by the government seems to bebased on a combination of fear of government, paranoia and simply the appearance of the word “implantable” in thebill text.

There’s no real analysis going into the rumor,so it’s hard to come up with a more thorough debunk ing beyond saying that it’s baseless and simplynot in the bill .

Not quite there Nexus and Pooka. This is dual use and upgradable technology, what is now can be different and superiordown the track.

I think you need to account for this remark below though.

Quote:

The FDA is overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services,which, at the time of VeriChip's approval, was headed by Tommy Thompson.

Two weeks after the device's approval took effect on Jan. 10, 2005 , Thompson left his Cabinet post, andwithin five months was a board member of VeriChip Corp. and Applied Digital Solutions.He was compensated in cash and stock options.

and

Quote:

Published in veterinary and toxicology journals between 1996 and 2006, the studies found that lab mice and rats

injected with microchips sometimes developed subcutaneous "sarcomas" _ malignant tumors, most of themencasing the implants.

_ A 1998 study in Ridgefield, Conn., of 177 mice reported cancer incidence to be slightly higher than 10 percent _ aresult the researchers described as "surprising."

_ A 2006 study in France detected tumors in 4.1 percent of 1,260 microchipped mice. This was one of six studies inwhich the scientists did not set out to find microchip-induced cancer but noticed the growths incidentally. They weretesting compounds on behalf of chemical and pharmaceutical companies; but they ruled out the compounds as thetumors' cause. Because researchers only noted the most obvious tumors, the French study said, "These incidencesmay therefore slightly underestimate the true occurrence" of cancer.

_ In 1997, a study in Germany found cancers in 1 percent of 4,279 chipped mice. The tumors "are clearly due to theimplanted microchips," the authors wrote.














Caveats accompanied the findings. "Blind leaps from the detection of tumors to the prediction of human health riskshould be avoided," one study cautioned. Also, because none of the studies had a control group of animals that didnot get chips, the normal rate of tumors cannot be determined and compared to the rate with chips implanted

The issue is corrupt FDA Approval.However the Company says the Medical RFID chips are implantable itself.Thus:

Quote:

PositiveID represents the convergence of a pioneer in personal health records and the first and only FDA-cleared

implantable microchip for patient identification, VeriChip, with a leader in the identity security space,Steel Vault, focused on access and sec urity of consumers' critical data .

http://positiveidcorp.com/about-us.html

Washington P ost, Loony Right? Huh, Time I hear dumb approval of products by corrupt government bureaucrats,statist position notwithstanding and the government is saintly, lily white and inccrruptible as long as it leans to the "right"side of the fence, though passed by a "Right Wing Government" at the time -

Then issue how will the Medical RFID be classifed with GPS or no GPS included? Will ordinary RFID be upgraded in thefuture with a change of government?


Quote:

(I do, however, still think that implanting devices similar to RFIDs will become a reality within10-30 years.

How do you define "similar to RFID"?Which, the present RFID chip or the Nano RFID Nexus? A guess is a guess.

"Because the Government Cares A Lot"The following is the position statement by the ACLU on RFID of a few years back.You guys seem to have missed the statements by the Australian Privacy Foundation on the previous posts on the RFIDwarnings.

The funny thing ACLU did not fuzz on the Obamacare's RFIDs passing through the Congress but did make a statementduring the Bush Admin on RFIDs (regarding the 911 possible anti-terror measures).

This is means they are partisan by staying quiet on RFID in this Obama Admin so it means they want their camp to pull itoff on their foes first.Perhaps they are missing several pages off the "Revolutionaries' Book".

The question is:How can you prove "conspiracy" when the accusations are yet to materialise because the Issue has not passed intoeffective law and is yet to be misused?

Is it a "Conspiracy" to point at the possible misuse of a technology?

Obama is pushing leftwing buttons about providing medical care to unleash the RFIDs.

RFID P osition Statement of Consumer PrivacyAnd Civil Liberties Organizations

CONTENTS> Threats to Privacy and Civil Liberties> Framework of RFID Rights and Responsibilities> Acceptable Uses of RFID> Attachment 1: RFID Technology Myths Debunked

> Attachment 2: Critique of Proposed Industry Solutions> Signers

Radio Frequency I dentification (RFID) is an item-tagging technology with profound societalimplications. Used improperly, RFID has the potential to jeopardize consumer privacy, reduc e oreliminate purchasing anonymity, and threaten civil liberties.

As organizations and individuals committed to the protection of privacy and civil liberties, we have come together toissue this statement on the deployment of RFID in the consumer environment. In the following pages, we describethe technology and its uses, define the risks, and discuss potential public policy approaches to mitigate the problemswe raise.

RFID tags are tiny computer chips connected to miniature antennae that can be affixed to physical objects. In themost commonly touted applications of RFID, the microchip contains an Electronic Product Code (EPC) with sufficientcapacity to provide unique identifiers for all items produced worldwide. When an RFID reader emits a radio signal,tags in the vicinity respond by transmitting their stored data to the reader. With passive (battery-less) RFID tags,read-range can vary from less than an inch to 20-30 feet, while active (self-powered) tags can have a much longerread range. Typically, the data is sent to a distributed computing system involved in, perhaps, supply chainmanagement or inventory control.

THREATS TO PRIVA CY AND CIVIL LIBERTIES

While there are beneficial uses of RFID, some attributes of the technology could be deployed in w aysthat threaten privacy and civil liberties:

Hidden placement of tags. RFID tags can be embedd ed into/ onto objects and documents w ithout theknowledg e of the individual who ob tains those items. As radio waves travel easily and silently throughfabric, plastic, and other materials, it is possible to read RFID tags s ewn into clothing or affixed toobjects contained in purses, shopping bag s, suitcases, and more.

Unique identifiers f or all objects worldw ide. The Electronic Produc t Code potentially enables everyobject on earth to have its own unique I D. The use of unique ID numb ers could lead to the creation of aglobal item registration system in which e very physical object is identified and linked to its purchaser

or owner at the point of sale or transfer.

Massive data agg regation. RFID deployment requires the creation of massive databases containingunique tag data. These records could be linked wi th personal identifying data, especially as computermemory and processing capacities expand.

Hidden read ers. Tags can be read fr om a distance, not restricted to line of sight, by readers that can beincorporated invisibly into nearly any environment where human beings or items congreg ate. RFIDreaders have already b een experimentally embedded into floor tiles, woven into carpeting and floormats, hidden in doorw ays, and seamlessly incorporated into retail shelving and counters, making itvirtually impossible for a consumer to know w hen or if he or she was being " scanned."

Ind ividual tracking and profiling. If personal identity w ere linked with unique RFID tag numbers,individuals could b e profiled and tracked without their knowledg e or consent. For example, a tagembedded in a shoe could serve as a de fac to identifier for the person w earing it. Even if item-levelinformation remains generic, identifying items people w ear or carry could associate them w ith, forexample, particular events like political rallies.

FRAMEWORK OF RFID RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

This framework respects businesses' interest in tracking products in the supply chain, but emphasizes individuals'rights to not be tracked within stores and after products are purchased. To mitigate the potential harmfulconsequences of RFID to individuals and to society, we recommend a three-part framework. First, RFID mustundergo a formal technology assessment, and RFID tags should not be affixed to individual consumer products untilsuch assessment takes place. Second, RFID implementation must be guided by Principles of Fair InformationPractice. Third, certain uses of RFID should be flatly prohibited.

Technology assessment. RFID must be subject to a formal technology assessment process, sponsored by a neutralentity, perhaps similar to the model established by the now defunct Congressional Office of Technology Assessment.The process must be multi-disciplinary, involving all stakeholders, including consumers.












Principles of Fair Information Practice. RFID technology and its implementation must be guided by strong principlesof fair information practices (FIPs). The eight-part Privacy Guidelines of the Organisation for Economic Co-operationand Development (OECD) provides a useful model ( http://www.oecd.org ). We agree that the following minimumguidelines, based in part on these principles, must be adhered to while the larger assessment of RFID's societalimplications takes place:

Openness, or transparency. RFID users must make public their policies and practices involving the use andmaintenance of RFID systems, and there should be no secret databases. Individuals have a right to know whenproducts or items in the retail environment contain RFID tags or readers. They also have the right to know thetechnical specifications of those devices. Labeling must be clearly displayed and easily understood. Any tag readingthat occurs in the retail environment must be transparent to all parties. There should be no tag-reading in secret.

Purpose specification. RFID users must give notice of the purposes for which tags and readers are used.

Collection limitation. The collection of information should be limited to that which is necessary for the purpose athand.

Accountability. RFID users are responsible for implementation of this technology and the associated data. RFID usersshould be legally responsible for complying with the principles. An accountability mechanism must be established.There must be entities in both industry and government to whom individuals can complain when these provisionshave been violated.

Security Safeguards. There must be security and integrity in transmission, databases, and system access. Theseshould be verified by outside, third-party, publicly disclosed assessment.

RFID Pr actices that Should be Flatly Prohibited:

Merchants must be pr ohibited from forcing or coercing customers into accepting live or dormant RFIDtags in the products they buy.

There should be no prohibition on individuals to detect RFID tags and reader s and disable tags onitems in their possession.

RFID must not be used to track individuals absent informed and w ritten consent of the data subject.Human tracking is inapp ropriate, either directly or indirectly, through clothing, consumer goods, orother items.

RFID should never be employed in a fashion to eliminate or reduce anonymity. For instance, RFIDshould not be incorporated into currency.

ACCEPTABLE USES OF RFID

We have identified several examples of "acceptable" uses of RFID in which consumer-citizens are not subjected to"live" RFID tags and their attendant risks.

Tracking of pharmaceuticals from the point of manufacture to the point of dispensing. RFID tags could help insurethat these critical goods are not counterfeit, that they are handled properly, and that they are dispensedappropriately. RFID tags contained on or in the pharmaceutical containers should be physically removed orpermanently disabled before being sold to consumers.

Tracking of manufactured goods from the point of manufacture to the location where they will be shelved for sale.RFID tags could help insure that products are not lost or stolen as they move through the supply chain. The tagscould also assure the goods are handled appropriately. Tags should be confined to the outside of product packaging(not embedded in the packaging) and be permanently destroyed before consumers interact with them in the store.

Detection of items containing toxic substances when they are delivered to the landfill. For example, when a personalcomputer is brought to the landfill, a short-range RFID tag could communicate toxic content to a reader at thelandfill. It is important to underscore that uses such as the landfill example do not require -- and should not entail --item-level unique identifiers. The RFID tag would, rather, emit a generic recycling or waste disposal message.

CONCLUSIONS

We are requesting manufacturers and retailers to agree to a voluntary moratorium on the item-level RFID taggingof consumer items until a formal technology assessment process involving all stakeholders, including consumers,can take place. Further, the development of this technology must be guided by a strong set of Principles of FairInformation Practice, ensuring that meaningful consumer control is built into the implementation of RFID. Finally,some uses of RFID technology are inappropriate in a free society, and should be flatly prohibited. Society should notwait for a crisis involving RFID before exerting oversight.

Although not examined in this position paper, we must also grapple with the civil liberties implications of governmental adoption of RFID.

The Department of Defense has issued an RF ID mandate to its suppliers, schools and libra ries in thehave begun implementing RFI D, the EU and the Japanese government have considered the use of RFIDin currency, and British law en forcement has expressed an interest in using RFID as an investigative

tool. As an open democratic society, we must adopt a strong policy framework based on Principles of FairInformation Practice to guide governmental implementation of RFID.

Limitations of RFID Technology: Myths Debunked

The following technological limitations have been proposed as reasons why consumers should not be concernedabout RFID deployment at this time. We address each perceived limitation in turn, and explain why in themselves,

these limitations cannot be relied upon as adequate consumer protection from the risks outlined above.

1. Read-range distances are not sufficient to allow for consumer surveillance.

RFID tags have varying read ranges depending on their antenna size, transmission frequency, and whether they arepassive or active. Some passive RFID tags have read ranges of less than one inch. Other RFID tags can be read atdistances of 20 feet or more. Active RFID tags theoretically have very long ranges. Currently, most RFID tagsenvisioned for consumer products are passive with read ranges of under 5 feet.

Contrary to some assertions, tags with shorter read ranges are not necessarily less effective for tracking humanbeings or items associated with them. In fact, in some cases a shorter read range can be more powerful. Forexample, if there were an interest in tracking individuals through their shoes as they come within range of a floorreader, a two-inch read range would be preferable to a two-foot read range. Such a short range would helpminimize interference with other tags in the vicinity, and help assure the capture of only the pertinent tag positioneddirectly on the reader.

2. Reader devices not prevalent enough to enable seamless human tracking.

The developers of RFID technology envision a world where RFID readers form a "pervasive global network" It doesnot take a ubiquitous reader network to track objects or the people associated with them. For example, automobilestraveling up and down Interstate 95 can be tracked without placing RFID readers every few feet. They need only bepositioned at the entrance and exit ramps. Similarly, to track an individual's whereabouts in a given town, it is notnecessary to position a reader device every ten feet in that town, as long as readers are present at strategiclocations such as building entrances.

3. Limited information contained on tags.

Some RFID proponents defend the technology by pointing out that the tags associated with most consumer productswill contain only a serial number. However, the number can actually be used as a reference number thatcorresponds to information contained on one or more Internet-connected databases. This means that the dataassociated with that number is theoretically unlimited, and can be augmented as new information is collected.

For example, when a consumer purchases a product with an EPC-compliant RFID tag, information about the

consumer who purchased it could be added to the database automatically. Additional information could be logged inthe file as the consumer goes about her business: "Entered the Atlanta courthouse at 12:32 PM," "At Mobil GasStation at 2:14 PM," etc. Such data could be accessed by anyone with access to such a database, whether authorizedor not.

4. Passive tags cannot be tracked by satellite.

The passive RFID tags envisioned for most consumer products do not have their own power, meaning they must beactivated and queried by nearby reader devices. Thus, by themselves, passive tags do not have the ability tocommunicate via satellites.

However, the information contained on passive RFID tags could be picked up by ambient reader devices which inturn transmit their presence and location to satellites. Such technology has already been used to track the real-timelocation of products being shipped on moving vehicles through the North American supply chain.

In addition, active RFID tags with their own power source can be enabled with direct satellite transmitting capability.At the present time such tags are far too expensive to be used on most consumer products, but this use is notinconceivable as technology advances and prices fall.

5. High cost of tags make them prohibitive for wide-scale deployment.

RFID developers point to the "high cost" of RFID tags as a way to assuage consumer fears about the power of suchtags. However, as technology improves and prices fall, we predict that more and more consumer products will carrytags and that those tags will become smaller and more sophisticated. We predict that the trend will follow the trendsof other technical products like computers and calculators.

A Critique of Proposed Industry Solutions












The RFID industry has suggested a variety of solutions to address the dangers posed by RFID tagging of consumerproducts. Among them are killing the tags at point of sale, the use of "blocker tags," and the "closed system." Weexamine each strategy in turn.

KILLING TAGS AT POINT OF SALE

Some have proposed that the RFID tag problem could be solved by killing the tags at the point of sale, renderingthem inoperable. There are several reasons why we do not believe this approach alone and without otherprotections will adequately protect consumer privacy:

Killing tags after purchase does not address in-store tracking of consumers.

To date, nearly all consumer privacy invasion associated with RFID tagging of consumer products has occurredwithin the retail environment, long before consumers reached the checkout counter where chips could be killed.Examples include:

Close-up photographs were taken of consumers as they picked up RFID-tagged packages of Gillette razor productsfrom store shelves equipped with Auto-ID Center "smart shelf" technology.

A video camera trained on a Wal-Mart cosmetics shelf in Oklahoma enabled distant Procter and Gamble executivesto observe unknowing customers as they interacted with RFID-tagged lipsticks.

Plans are underway to tag books and magazines with RFID devices to allow detailed in-store observation of peoplebrowsing reading materials. This potential was demonstrated recently at the Tokyo International Book Fair 2003.According to Japan's Nikkei Electronic News, "By placing tag readers on the shelves of bookstores, the new systemallows booksellers to gain information such as the range of books a shopper has browsed, how many times aparticular title was picked up and even the length of time spent flipping through each book."

We recognize the need for stores to control shoplifting and make general assessments to enhance operations.However, monitoring and recording the detailed behaviors of consumers without their consent, even if only withinthe store, violates Principles of Fair Information Practice.

Tags can appear to be "killed" when they are really "asleep" and can be reactivated

Some RFID tags have a "dormant" or "sleep" state that could be set, making it appear to the average consumer thatthe tag had been killed. It would be possible for retailers and others to claim to have killed a tag when in realitythey had simply rendered it dormant. It would be possible to later reactivate and read such a "dormant" tag.

The tag killing option could be easily halted by government directive.

It would take very little for a security threat or a change in governmental policies to remove the kill-tag option. If RFID tags are allowed to become ubiquitous in consumer products, removing the kill option could enable the instantcreation of a surveillance society.

Retailers might offer incentives or disincentives to consumers to encourage them to leave tags active.

Consumers wishing to kill tags could be required to perform additional steps or undergo burdensome procedures,such as waiting in line for a "killer kiosk" and then being required to kill the tags themselves. Consumers who chooseto kill the tags might not enjoy the same discounts or benefits as other consumers, or might not be allowed thesame return policies. In many areas of privacy law, this retailer incentive is r ecognized, and there are legislativeprohibitions against inducing the consumer to waive their privacy rights.

The creation of two classes of consumers.

If killing tags requires conscious effort on the part of consumers, many will fail to do so out of fear, ignorance, orlack of time. Many will choose not to kill the tags if doing so is inconvenient. (The current "killer kiosk" requiresloading one item at a time, a lengthy and time consuming process.) This would create two classes of consumers:those who "care enough" to kill the RFID tags in their products and those who don't. Being a member of either classcould have negative ramifications.

BLOCKER TAGS

RFID blocker tags are electronic devices that should theoretically disrupt the transmission of all or select informationcontained on RFID tags. The proposed blocker tag might be embedded in a shopping bag, purse, or watch that iscarried or worn near tags with information consumers want blocked.

Blocker tags are still theoretical.

According to our understanding, the blocker tag does not yet exist. Until a blocker tag is built and tested, there is noway to know how effective it will be and whether it can be technically defeated.

Encourages the widespread deployment of RFID tags.

The blocker tag might encourage the proliferation of RFID devices by giving consumers a false sense of security.

You are not worried about people being imprisoned without trial, or that you can be arrested for possessing a "thing" orcriticing the government. Why does this worry you?

That's the job for the Crony Pravda Media, its role is to attack the Government Critics , whichever they are but alwaysattack the Government Critics IS the pattern.Obama has CBS, ABC, Oprah Winfrey, NBC (Liberal Media Bias etc)Bush has Fox (faux) News and associated "Neo-con" media mags and think-tanks.

Why worry about Due Process when the President has become Judge Dredd (the three positions are combined into one ie:state powers) with a UAV Drone (Death from Above)?Don't wonder why isn't the usual that the anti-Bush people also against Obama's Bushite rhetoric against terrorists?
