Tribulation Update
Recent Developments of the Great
Tribulation
Revelation 13 :
"Then I saw another beast
come up out of the earth; it had two horns like a lamb’s but spoke like a dragon.
It wielded all the authority of the first beast in its sight and made the earth
and its inhabitants worship the first beast…It deceived the inhabitants of the
earth with the signs it was allowed to perform in the sight of the first
beast…It forced all the people, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave,
to be given a stamped image on their right hands or their foreheads, so that no
one could buy or sell except one who had the stamped image of the beast’s name
or the number that stood for its name…" (Rv 13:11-17)
This update and the attached
articles read in conjunction with the writing previously provided to you
entitled: After The Warning clearly indicate that we are living within the Great Tribulation of
Revelation. What you will read with this update are a few recent news articles
evidencing this fact, and that there is nothing that we can do at this moment
that is more important than preparing ourselves spiritually and physically for
what will soon be upon us.
You will find attached hereto
three articles of great relevance. The first addresses public statements by the
liberal Cardinal Martini of
Satan is indeed the father of all
lies.
Previously, the Holy Trinity and
Our Lady have told us that these things were coming. Now we are
told that they are here.
Centuries ago, the high priest of
Jerusalem wore a two-horned hat, which was symbolic of his authority. This
evolved into the tiara, the two tiered hat worn by Catholic bishops. The second beast of Revelation, also known as the False
Prophet, will be a man of a false religion centered in the
city surrounded by seven hills………Rome. To make way for such false religion, the Catholic Church will be
run out of Rome as a result of the foretold Great
Schism. 
The wonders and convenience of the
Subdermal Microchip are being heralded as this update is written. We are being
told by the wicked that the Chip will be useful in the treatment of
spinal cord injuries, in weight reduction programs, in behavior modification,
in providing for the tracking of wayward and
disoriented people by satellites, in the maintaining of personal medical
and financial accounts and records, in operating security systems, in
monitoring criminals,…….and other similar lines of lies, deceit and fraud.
Through various current-day
prophets (which have yet-to-be-approved by the Church and to which we willingly
yield), Our Lord is telling us that the Chip is the Mark of the Beast discussed
in Revelation; and that it is both sinister in its nature and purpose, and
deadly to the soul. The true purpose of the Chip is to provide control over
the general population by the one-world government Masons, who have infiltrated
into all walks of life, including the Church. It will have the ability to
alter the behavior of the recipients such that they, not only support the
Antichrist, but worship him.
We have been told in Holy
Scripture that anyone who accepts the Mark of
the Beast will
commit a SIN THAT WILL
NOT BE FORGIVEN. (Rv 14:9-13).
Reread Revelation, and consider
the following events, which have occurred recently or have been publicly
scheduled to occur soon:
|
|
July, 2000 |
|
Cardinal Martini openly called for a one-world government. |
|
|
July, 2000 |
|
Israeli Prime Minister Barak offered to share Jerusalem with the Palestinians. |
|
|
Sept. 6-8, 2000 |
|
The largest meeting of world leaders ever, is scheduled at the United Nations to discuss global government. |
|
|
Sept. 13, 2000 |
|
PLO Chairman Arafat has stated that he will declare a Palestinian State by this date. |
|
|
October, 2000 |
|
The Digital Angel is to be unveiled in New York City. |
|
|
Oct. 8, 2000 |
|
The Pope has called all of the bishops and cardinals to Rome to consecrate the world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. |
The Great Apostasy :
"…The work of the devil will
infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one
will see cardinals opposing cardinals, bishops against bishops. The priests who
venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their confreres…churches and altars
sacked; the Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon
will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the
Lord…" (Our Lady of Akita, 1973 - Approved).
Soon we will see cardinal rise
against cardinal and bishop against bishop, as predicted by Our Lady at Akita ,
which was approved by the Church. Soon we will witness the Great Apostasy in
all of its ugliness. The
Catholic Church will be shattered, and only a small remnant will remain
loyal to the historical teachings of the Church. Only a small remnant
will remain true to the true Catholic Faith, which has been handed down for
centuries.
Satan’s method has been
consistent since Adam: Attempt to make that which is good appear to be evil; and
that which is evil appear to be good ………It will be no different this time.
Satan always
attacks that which is the most potent against him by attacking it with the
greatest passion. We need to be watchful of this, and respond by increasing our
faith and devotion accordingly. Expect the Great Apostasy to proceed with overt
disobedience, wholesale denied premises and self-serving pretzel logic. Expect
increased attacks upon the sacraments, especially the sacraments of Penance and
Holy Eucharist. Expect increased attacks upon adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament. Expect increased attacks upon the Papacy. Expect increased attacks
upon Our Lady and the Rosary. Expect increased attacks upon the unalterable
word of God. Expect increased attacks upon truth.
Shortly before he was elected
Pope, Pope
John Paul II stated:
"We are now standing in
the face of the greatest historical confrontation humanity has gone through. I
do not think that the wide circles of the American society, or the wide circles
of the Christian community, realize this fully. We are now facing the final
confrontation between the Church and the anti-Church, of the Gospel versus the
anti-Gospel." (Notable & Quotable, Karol
Cardinal Wojtyla (who became Pope John Paul II), Wall Street Journal,
Nov. 9, 1978.)
We are starting to read and hear
statements to the effect that the primacy and authority of the Church was given
by Jesus to the twelve Apostles and thereby to the Bishops as their successors,
rather than to Pope St. Peter and his successor Pope John Paul II
! Holy Scripture is clear that such authority was
given to Peter, and to Peter alone .
Simon’s name was changed by Jesus
to "Peter", meaning "the rock". It was Jesus Himself who
stated "…Thou are Peter, the rock and upon THIS rock I will build My
Church, and the gates of Hell will not prevail against it…". The keys to
the kingdom of Heaven were given to
Peter…………there were
not twelve sets of keys.
The Catechism of the Catholic
Church is clear that the primacy and authority rests with the Pope. Consider
the following excerpted paragraphs therefrom:
881. "The Lord made Simon alone, whom
he named Peter, the 'rock' of his Church. He gave him the keys of his Church and instituted him shepherd of the whole flock (Mt 16:18-19; Jn 21:15-17). 'The office of binding and loosing which
was given to Peter was also assigned to the college of apostles united to its
head.'[LG 22 # 2.] This pastoral office of Peter and the other
apostles belongs to the Church's very foundation and is continued by the
bishops under the
primacy of the POPE.".
882. "The POPE, Bishop of
Rome and Peter's successor, 'is the perpetual and visible source and foundation
of the unity both of the bishops and of the whole company of the faithful.'[LG 23.] 'For the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ,
and as pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise
unhindered.".
937. "The POPE enjoys, by
divine institution, 'supreme, full, immediate, and universal power in the care
of souls.".
Even Ecumenical Councils are
subject to, and answer to, the Pope. There have been cardinals and bishops who
have been excommunicated by Popes ! Clearly, they are subordinate to the Pope. The Pope serves as Supreme Pontiff for life, .unless he willingly abdicates or retires. He
can NOT be forced out of office, forced to retire, declared unfit, declared
incompetent, too old or too ill.
They are calling US
"apostates" because we recognize the supremacy of the Pope over the
individual or collective authority of the bishops. They would have you believe
that the college of cardinals or bishops is a parliamentary body with
legislative authority superior to the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on Earth.
They are calling US
"apostates"…………Satan is indeed the father of all lies.
We are starting to read and hear
statements to the effect that WE are "heretics" because we
believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. The Fathers and
Doctors of the Church are unanimous in their position
that Jesus is truly present in the Holy Eucharist. The Creed does not speak to
the real presence of Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, because at such time it was universally accepted as a fundamental truth
central to the Faith. This is
clear in the writings of the Apostolic Fathers and Doctors of the Church.
According to Holy Scripture (Jn 6:48-58), it was the Son of God, Himself who said clearly:
"I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the
desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that
one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my
flesh for the life of the world."
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, "How can this man
give us [his] flesh to eat?"
Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat
the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within
you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will
raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is 
true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and
drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the
Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is
the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still
died, whoever eats this bread will live forever."
Did not Jesus state: "This
is My body….This is My blood….Do this in remembrance of Me." ? We
believe, as the early Christians did then, because WE HAVE HIS WORD ON
IT----.what more could we need ? These are the Holy words of consecration. These are amongst the most solemn and sacred words in
the Bible, and must never be changed or tampered with in any way by anyone. 
Transubstantiation is a mystery
TO MAN. Everything is possible with God. (Mt19:26)
They are calling US
"heretics"………….Satan is indeed the father of all lies.
We are starting to read and hear
statements to the effect that WE are "infidels" because of our
devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. The Catholic Church has never supported
the Blessed Mother as a divinity, and indeed has condemned worshipping her as a
goddess. In many of her apparitions, SHE told us not to
worship her as a goddess, but to worship only the Holy Trinity.
Mary as Co-redemptrix, Mediatrix and Advocate has been
established by Catholic Tradition for about 2,000 years. While they studied
under different Apostles who were scattered over the then known world and
without the current means of communication, the Fathers and the Doctors of the
Church are unanimous in their writings about this. As such it is,
and has been, required faith for a Catholic in good standing for centuries.
The prefix "co" means "WITH", as in
"co-pilot", "co-worker",
"co-incidence","co-insurance", "co-llaborate",
"co-operate", "co-existence", "co-pay", etc. It does
NOT mean that she is a Redeemer; there is only one Redeemer.
Through one current day prophet,
Our Lord has told us that when St. Gabriel announced to her that she would be
the mother of the Messiah, she was given a vision of the rest of her life and the
sorrow that she would endure. Her response was the Magnificat: "Behold the
handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to thy word.". She thereby CO-operated as a partner in
God’s PLAN for the redemption of mankind; and her body and the body of the Son
of God became united inseparably for 9 months.
As Mediatrix, she mediates between
man and Jesus for our intentions. As Advocate, she is the advocate of
advocates. Remember at the wedding feast at Cana, Jesus could not refuse
her. She is the daughter of the Father, the mother of the Son, and the
spouse of the Holy Spirit. She has influence with the Holy Trinity unlike any
other creature.
While on the cross, Jesus gave her
to us as our mother. She was present with the Apostles on Pentecost Sunday when
the Church was born, and received the Holy Spirit with the Apostles.
Our plea to the Blessed Virgin is "pray
for us".
They are calling US
"infidels"………….Satan is indeed the father of all lies.
We are starting to read and hear statements
to the effect that WE are "cultists" because we pray the Rosary. St.
Dominic is generally believed to be the person responsible initially for
devotion to the Rosary. It has been prayed by many great
Saints and by many great sinners. Several Popes have written in support of praying the
Rosary. Perhaps the most noteworthy is Pope Leo
XIII who wrote favorably about it in several of his encyclicals.
The Nicene Creed was written
by the legitimate ecumenical Council at Nicea, and subsequently approved by
the Pope. The "Our Father" was given to us by Jesus Himself. The
first half of the "Hail Mary" was taken directly from Holy Scripture;
while the second half asks her to pray for us. The "Gloria" gives
glory to the Heavenly Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The "Hail Holy Queen"
pays homage to Our Lady and pleads with her to pray for us. Together they
comprise the Rosary.
The efficacy of praying the Rosary
lies not only in the content of its prayers, but in the meditation on the
Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, and Glorious mysteries of the Faith. Together they
represent the Annunciation to Mary, the birth of Christ, the proclamation of
the Kingdom, His institution of the Sacraments, His Passion and Death, His
glorious Resurrection, His Ascension into Heaven, the descent of the Holy
Spirit, and Mary’s reward for her co-operation in the plan of God for the
salvation of man. The graces associated with the Rosary are manifold.
To argue against the Rosary is to
argue against tenets central to the Faith. To slander the Rosary is to slander
the salvific mission of Jesus Christ.
They are calling US "cultists"………….Satan
is indeed the father of all lies.
Plagues, Pestilences and Purification :
Currently, the
Western U.S. is on fire………..….fires started by lightening from the sky. In
July, the aurora borealis was seen as far South as Georgia and Texas (This
strange occurrence is reminiscent of a similar occurrence shortly before War
II, which was predicted at Fatima.). The drought in the Southern US is the
worst in decades. Water rationing is becoming common place in certain regions
of the U.S., while parts of the Eastern seaboard have seen floods. Horrible
disease is on the rise; some even approach epidemic levels. Japan is puzzled by
the significant number of unexpected and repeated earthquakes and volcanic
activity that it has experienced recently. It snowed in the UK in August.
Typhoon Bilis has struck Taiwan with winds in excess of 160 mph. Pestilence is
on the rise. A plague of grasshoppers ravaged Oklahoma and North Texas during
the summer.
This is only what has received recent
U.S. media coverage. All were predicted.
Much more has
been predicted by various contemporary prophets to occur very soon. Such as, the occurrence of terrible storms, huge earthquakes
to occur in the U.S. , and a sign to occur in October, 2000. We have been told
that the drought will result in water and food shortages. We have been told to
stock-up on food and water for the forthcoming time when we will not be able to
buy because we have refused the Chip in the hand or forehead. God
will multiply such food and water, if we share it with others. We know through
the Bible that God ALWAYS takes care of His people in such
circumstances. We have HIS word on it.
Carefully read the
attached articles. Then, carefully reread the writing,
After The Warning, provided to you previously. It is located on the Internet at www.call2holiness.org
Soon Our Lady will call forth her
sons. Soon the lamp under the basket will be uncovered. Soon truth will prevail……………………
and she will crush his head.
Our Lord will return soon, and
initiate the Era of Peace written
about by the Fathers and Doctors of the Church, and as predicted by Our Lady of
Prepare accordingly………….you have
nothing to loose. If we prepare properly, we have nothing to fear. Daily make
the consecrations to the Immaculate and Sacred Hearts, and to the Divine Hearts of the Heavenly Father and Holy Spirit.
Also make the consecration to the heart of St.
Joseph.
.Read the Catechism of the Catholic Church for truth……………it was written for these times..
Reread the book of Revelation. It
has a happy and glorious ending……………we win !
Receive the sacraments frequently,
especially the sacraments of Confession and Holy Eucharist. Pray the Rosary and
TRUST in God; HE CAN NOT RESIST
A TRUSTING SOUL. .Spread the message to others.
Be all you can be in Our Lady’s Army !
.
An Act of Consecration to the
Immaculate Heart of Mary
My Queen! My Mother! I give you all myself, and, to show my
devotion to you, I consecrate to you my eyes, my ears, my mouth, my heart, my
entire self. Wherefore, O loving Mother, as I am your own, keep me, defend me,
as your property and possession.
An Act of Consecration to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus
Merciful
Jesus, I consecrate myself today and always to Your most Sacred Heart. Most
Sacred Heart of Jesus I implore, that I may ever love You more and more. Most
Sacred Heart of Jesus, I trust in You! Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy
on us! Sacred Heart of Jesus, I believe in Your love for me. Jesus, meek and
humble of heart, make my heart like Your Heart.

Italian Cardinal Advocates
Planetary Government
Source: www.natcath.com/NCR_Online/archives/081100/081100f.htm
National Catholic Reporter, August
11, 2000
Italian Cardinal Carlo Maria
Martini, a progressive frequently mentioned as a candidate to be the next pope,
has advocated the creation of a "democratic and planetary" system of
government that would transcend the powers of presently existing nation-states.
Martini's proposal came in a July
issue of the Roman daily newspaper La Repubblica. In an essay on human rights,
Martini wrote that nations have the right to manage their own affairs, but in
view of the universal nature of human rights, an absolute notion of sovereignty
that prevents the international community from policing abuses is "anachronistic
and unhistorical."
Martini, 73, is the archbishop of
Milan. The cardinal supported "humanitarian intervention" in defense
of suffering populations such as refugees, including the use of troops when
other means have failed. Though "humanitarian intervention" was most
recently invoked by NATO in defense of its bombing campaign against Serbia,
Martini did not expressly approve or condemn that action.
Instead, quoting from Pope John
Paul II, Martini said such interventions must be precise in their objectives,
must be authorized at a supra-national level, and must never depend on
"the mere logic of force."
Martini wrote that effective
protection of human rights "obviously demands a true reconsideration of
the present international order." In his most controversial statement,
he said that international tribunals of human rights should have enforcement
powers within nation-states.
Ultimately, Martini argued, it
will be necessary to rethink the concept of the nation "to ensure a more
just and true cohabitation" among peoples. This will mean, he said, distinguishing
between a "state" and a "nation," so that national identity
does not necessarily rest upon the existence of a political entity.
"Before national interests,
there are individual persons with their inalienable dignity," Martini
wrote, "and before the particular interests of individual groups is the
universal human community and its obligation to work for justice, solidarity
and peace."
To that end, Martini wrote, it will be
necessary to build a planetary
system of government, for which the present European Union is one possible
model. Martini called
transcending national sovereignty "the roadmap to a more just and stable
order."
This order, Martini writes, must
be based on an "exchange of gifts" in which the well-being of all
groups, especially the weak, is protected.
"For this it will be necessary
to overcome not only waging actual wars, but also cold wars, and not merely to
ensure the equality of rights of all people, but also their access to assets
for the construction of a better future," Martini wrote in the July 13 La Repubblica.
The concept of a planetary political order
that would supercede the power of nation-states is anathema to many U.S.
political conservatives.
"There are people who
genuinely believe that our interests are best served if we become weaker and
weaker," Republican Congressman Roscoe Bartlett said in 1998, "and
the U.N. becomes stronger and stronger, so they ultimately have a bigger army
than we do so they can keep the world peace. These people are called
globalists, new-world-order, one-world-government people."

DIGITAL ANGEL "MARK OF THE
BEAST" CAPABLE TECHNOLOGY TO BE UNVEILED IN OCTOBER
www.jvim.com/cgi-bin/update.cgi
Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSX)
reported on July 31:
"...[Applied Digital
Solutions] today announced that it will host a special, invitation-only event
in New York City this coming October to demonstrate an operational prototype of
its revolutionary "Digital Angel" technology.
As previously announced, the
prototype of the device was to be ready by the end of this year. But Applied
Digital's Chairman and CEO, Richard J. Sullivan, said today that the
development of the technology had progressed well ahead of schedule.
In his comments announcing the
October event, Richard Sullivan stated: 'We're extremely heartened by the
remarkable progress made by Dr. Peter Zhou and his entire research team,
including professors and their associates at Princeton University and the New
Jersey Institute of Technology.
This technology relates directly
to the exploding wireless marketplace. We'll be demonstrating for the first
time ever that wireless telecommunications systems and bio-sensor devices -
capable of measuring and transmitting critical body function data - can be successfully
linked together with GPS technology and integrated with the Internet..."
"...This is a gigantic leap
forward, one that also links directly to our Computer Telephony Internet
Integration (CTII ) strategic focus. At its heart, Digital Angel involves
integrating the very same communications technologies into a working system.
We'll soon be ready to move ahead
to the production-design phase of Digital Angel geared to specific marketplace
applications. The key message right now is this: Digital Angel isn't a blue-sky
technology. This is real. Digital Angel breakthrough technology is here. It's
live!'
While estimates of Digital Angel's
marketplace potential vary, there is little doubt that the technology will
enable Applied Digital and its partners to tap into a multi-billion dollar
market via various licensing arrangements, Web-enabled wireless services and
data transactions handled by Applied Digital's ASP (Application Service
Provider) center.
Those attending the event in New
York City will see a working, multimedia demonstration of Digital Angel's
technological building blocks. .A miniature sensor device -- smaller than a grain of rice and equipped
with a tiny antenna -- will capture and wirelessly transmit a person's vital
body- function data, such as body temperature or pulse, to an
Internet-integrated ground station..."
"...In addition, the antenna will also receive information regarding
the location of the individual from the GPS satellite . Both sets of data -- medical information
and location -- will then be wirelessly transmitted to the ground station and
made available on Web-enabled desktop, laptop or wireless devices.
This demonstration represents the
first time these technologies have been united into one functioning system.
In December of 1999, Applied
Digital Solutions announced that it had acquired the patent rights to a
miniature digital transceiver -- which it has named Digital Angel. In some of its applications, the
tiny device is expected to be bonded closely to the body or implanted just under the skin.
The Company believes Digital
Angel will be able to send and receive data and be located by GPS (Global Positioning
System) technology. In addition to monitoring the location and medical
condition of at-risk patients, the Company believes Digital
Angel could have other applications that will prove to be extremely popular
in the marketplace.
These applications include
locating lost or missing individuals or household pets; tracking endangered
wildlife; managing livestock and other farm-related animals; pinpointing the
location of valuable stolen property; finding lost airline baggage and postal
packages; managing the commodity supply chain; preventing the unauthorized use
of firearms; and providing a tamper-proof means of identification for enhanced
e-commerce security.

three subdermal microchips: Digital Angel; Verichip and Xmark. ---- each are deadly to the soul.).

Technological Marvel or
Liberty Destroyer?
Geoff Metcalf interviews
scientist Charles Ostman on sub-dermal biochips
by Geoff Metcalf
WORLDNETDAILY; Sunday,
August 13, 2000.
What was considered
science-fiction fantasy only a few years ago is now everyday reality --- sub-dermal computer chips used for identification
and location
purposes.
While today, the use of these
devices is predominantly restricted to animals, there are grand plans for
multiple human uses in the very near future. With this technology comes ethical
and privacy issues and the very real possibility of criminal misuse. Berkeley
scientist Charles Ostman is an expert in nanotechnology and the exploding realm
of biochip applications. WorldNetDaily reporter Geoff Metcalf recently
interviewed Ostman about sub-dermal biochips and the controversy surrounding
them.
Metcalf's daily radio show can be
heard on TalkNetDaily weekdays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern time.
Question: What is nanotechnology?
Answer: Some people tend to think
of this as "little things" or little machines. There is an aspect of
nanotechnology which that facilitates. But nanotechnology is really a
fabrication process. Eric Drexler, who founded the Forsyth Institute (of which
I am a member), coined the term mechanosynthesis. I think that sums it up
really well because the theory here is that one is attempting to instigate
molecules to move about, behave and, in a sense, connect together in a way they
normally wouldn't do. In biological systems, all living things are, in a sense,
nanofoundaries. If one were to go inside a living cell, into the nucleus and
look at the ribosome which physically takes molecular components and sort of
rearranges them according to the instructions it gets on a contiguous basis,
that is, in essence, a nanofoundary.
Q: You were involved in developing
some of the technology for these sub-dermal biochip implants. Normally, if you
put something under your skin -- a splinter or something -- the body will
reject it.
A: Yes, this is true. I'm glad you
started out on that foot because it's not so much that all of a sudden a couple
of guys in a lab made a biochip and bam, here we are; it's not like that at
all. What this really is, is the outcome of a very linear progression of what
had been very different and autonomous pockets of technology that all came from
different directions but converged on a common target, being able to create
highly complex micro-devices. These are called SOC or "system on
chip," incorporating fluidics, mechanical systems, optics and all kinds of
different materials. In some cases, people from the biophysics and what is now
called the nanobiology world began to recognize that maybe they could start to
apply some of their most recent nanobiological techniques as a fabrication
process and integrate it with these new more advanced systems on a chip
component.
Q: Normally in science, you have
such unique subcultures that I was amazed the guys in room "A" would
even talk to the guys in room "B."
A: That is often the case. Up
until very recently, it was a very competitive environment. There was obviously
a lot of bantering about looking for grant money -- and various department
chairs were vying for control over this project or that project.
Q: Synergy between disciplines is
not something that is usually encouraged or accepted.
A: Up until recently. The thing
that has been driving this is the industry. That's the point I was hoping to
focus on.
I am a senior fellow at the
Institute for Global Futures, and what we do there is specifically look at the
synergistic potential of newly emerging technologies and how they might be
reorganized to facilitate some new development or some new industry
infrastructure. We put together alliances and reports and that kind of thing.
Q: Let's go back to the splinter
under the skin and the body's normal response to reject it. What did you do to
this sub-dermal biochip implant so that it doesn't get kicked out of the body?
A: What you need to do is satisfy
several different conditions. You want to keep the immune system neutralized.
You want to encourage it to bind to muscle tissue or dermis tissue. There is
actually a very, very broad range of different applications. There is this
company that produces something called the "Digital Angel" which I
guess everyone is so upset about.
Q: WorldNetDaily is on that like
white on rice.
A: I'm sure you are. But there are
an enormous number of other people who have really focused on many different
kinds of ways to solve complex medical problems. Things like returning sight to
sight-impaired people or repairing spinal-cord columns.
One of the projects involves an
implantable system that will dispense insulin on a continuous basis using very,
very sophisticated biosensors that are inside the body and then provide a
feedback circuit to the dispensing system so that instead of taking shots, you
just have one of these devises implanted every so often. There are also
neuroprosthetics. There are three companies now that produce devices that
actually tap into the brain at different locations. One is to actually override
epileptic seizures so that instead of having to take chemistries to solve the
problem, it electronically neutralizes the event before it happens.
Q: I have heard discussions about testing
those on some prisoners with behavior modification. 
A: This is an area that concerns
many people. Some take the narrow view that somehow this technology is evil and
is going to cause all these problems. But there are two sides to it. What I try
to do in my publications -- and the reason I go on the air from time to time --
is not to try to push opinion but to inform, so that people can take a more
reasoned approach to what kinds of opinions might drive policy eventually.
Q: Let's focus just a bit on the
sub-dermal biochip implant. What are they capable of doing, and how are they
powered?
A: The Air Force really pushed this
agenda quite a few years ago.
Q: They wanted it for pilots.
A: Exactly. The theory was that
a downed pilot could be tracked within a certain range, and this was a good
attempt. It was still kind of primitive at the time but, at least, they were
willing to pioneer the effort. A number of years later, NASA began working on
something similar but different. Rather than trying to track the location of a
downed pilot, their whole purpose was to be able to monitor vital signs of the
human physiology in their astronauts so that when they are out doing space
walks, they could keep a data thread on their state of being.
More recently, there was a British
physician, Dr. Warwick, who made headlines last year when he put a sub-dermal
implant in his arm. This was a full sort of bio-scan system so that when he
walked into the clinic, the system would, a) know he was there, but, b) more
importantly, be monitoring his vital signs and updating in real-time his
medical records. And this kind of suggests where this is going. It is one thing
to say biochips are going to be required as an ID system -- this could come to
pass, if policy were to be driven in that direction.
Q: Everybody can see the
benefits of it. It is benign if it is used for the purpose for which you intend
it. The concern is, once you got it, you are then subject to the cavalier,
capricious whim of whoever the controller is.
A: I tend to agree. .The larger issue really is, what are the policy directives? How do
we protect the value of what this technology might be able to provide versus
seeing it obviously contorted in some very unpleasant ways?
Q: Several people have asked: Can
you zap these implants with some kind of electromagnetic field and turn them
off?
A: These things are very delicate.
They operate on picoamperes of current. The human body is actually a dynamo. It
actually produces about 200 volts per linear foot on average. It takes a fairly
small amount of current to run a fairly complex circuit. The computer industry
made all that possible. In fact, all your handhelds and laptops are crammed to
the rafters with extremely high-efficiency circuitry. Harvesting that
fabrication potential and marrying it to biological materials is kind of where
all this came from. The point is, if one were, in today's world, bent on
thwarting the transmission aspects of the device, one could. But that would
simply create a sort of arms race in the biochip world to make increasing
robust ones to counteract this.
Q: The concern is that these
chips also have the capacity to be traced, as in the pilot model. What are the
capabilities of 
these chips in their varying flavors?
A: I think what you are leading
to is, can these chips be used as a real-time transceiving system?
Q: Yes; linked up with GPS.
A: It's not just GPS. In fact, IBM had an ad on television. It shows a guy
walking through a store, picking things up and putting them in his pocket.
Q: And the guard is eyeballing
him.
A: And as he's walking out the
door the guard says, "Oh, here's your receipt." It was kind of
humorous, but not really. That is exactly where this could go. There is a very
strong desire in many different arenas, whether it's banking, HMOs, insurance
providers -- and quite a swath of people in both the corporate and what I call
the institutional or government world -- who clearly have their own particular
reason for wanting to see an ever grander, real-time, interactive,
transactional sort of process dynamic in which you, the individual, are
constantly being updated and queried for whatever your type of use may happen
to be, whether it is purchasing things, traveling about, or being on the
telephone or other forms of media traffic. There is very specific interest to
sort of integrate
this all into one giant ubiquitous data grid.
Oddly enough, the Internet has
kind of driven this. There is a very real fanatical interest to get to this
real-time connected economy realm that says, "I can be anywhere in any
point in time and I think the thought and, suddenly, the thing of my interest
appears before me."
Q: Digital Angel appears to be one
potential result of everything you have been talking about. WorldNetDaily has
written, and I suspect will be writing about Digital Angel. I assume you are
familiar with it?
A: I'm quite familiar with the
device and the company but I think this is a first attempt to commercialize
what has already been in existence for some time. Clearly, they've gotten their
own patents, but really more of a process patent than a device patent. They are
trying to position themselves to market the modernization of localized personal
tracking from both a security perspective and as a way to optimize certain
mission-critical applications.
This is a company that was founded
a couple of years ago and were the first company to kind of take the prototype
of what the Air Force had been working on for some time and mix it up with the
version NASA had been developing. They wanted to combine the best of all
current possible technologies to make a mass producible, implantable, fairly
inexpensive device that would allow someone to be tracked or traced, or to
serve the purpose of identification.
Up till now, there has been a big
push to have an integrated ID system digital cache where your presence is sort
of traced on this ubiquitous data grid, for the sake of transactions. But one
of the failure points, or one of the real challenges, is the combination of
authenticity versus personal verification, so that when you do transact, they
know that it is you.
Q: That's why banks and airports
are pushing these retinal or iris scans.
A: Correct. So now what you are
seeing is this combination where you are trying to mix together biometrics of
many different types, a fully integrated exchange of database systems into a
sort of common protocol.
Q: The question
that is often asked is, "Hey, if these sub-dermal biochip implants are
tucked into you, can they make you sick on command? Can they do something to
you?"
A: It depends on where they are
put and for what purpose. Behavioral modification is a serious topic and
probably one of the scary ones that I personally have some thoughts about. Back
when the human genome project was first getting started, they wanted to look
for behavioral correlations between certain biophysical aspects of
neurophysiology in the brain and certain psychological known ailments -- the
theory being that instead of treating these ailments with drugs, they implant a
device and the device could insert electrical signals or modify electrical
signals to essentially accommodate the same effect but in a more precise way.
Q: They are doing that in
research with prisoners now, aren't they?
A: I'm not sure with prisoners
precisely, but I do know that with mood control in severe depression cases,
yes, it has already been done in clinical trials. The epileptic seizure
control: already been done in clinical trials. In fact, it is available
commercially. The next thing around the corner is schizophrenic prevention
control. Actually, there are five companies I know personally who all have this
on their annual report. They talk about market share and international markets.
To them this is just another commodity.
Q: Some folks have suggested that,
like human cloning, this technology should be banned and made illegal. However,
how can you possibly put it back in the bottle? If it is outlawed, won't
outlaws pursue it for illegal enrichment?
A: More importantly, we live in a
global economy. The box is not only open; it is a dot on the horizon. I
actually served on a financial impact study for this multi-agency committee
that just facilitated million for the first-ever national nanotechnology policy
directorate. Essentially, we are now financing a program kind of like NASA but
for nanoscale technology -- and it is going to be applied as we are speaking
today.
Q: The sub-dermal biochip implant
offers all kinds of benefits -- from downed pilots to prisoner control to
medical records -- but people are still more than a little 
hinky about this invasion of privacy. Is
there any way to protect against the downside?
A: The answer to this is not to
just make it all go away. It's not going to go away. That is simply not
going to happen. What I think might be possible and feasible is to maximize the
potential benefits and obviously restrict its misuse, but to be able to enforce
that through the dispensation of policy.
Q: Here's the worse-case scenario.
First, they introduce sub-dermal biochip implants into prisons; then, they
introduce it into the military; and then, they eventually get it into the
public schools where it is required and mandatory for kids. Then they just wait
for dinosaurs like you and me to die off.
A: I have a different scenario but
very similar. Because of the cost of health care -- and the HMOs are very big
on this idea -- at birth, your entire DNA is mapped out. They can work out
physical and biophysical programs for you prescribed over your lifetime, based
on whatever criteria they are willing to accommodate. And, as a price of access
or acknowledgement of access, you have one of these devices implanted in you so
instead of walking into a Kaiser with your card, when you walk in with your
chip, you are scanned and connected directly to their medical database.
Clearly, for many people, this would be a great convenience.
Q: Sure, it saves them all that
time in the check-out line.
A: It certainly does. And why not
tie my credit card records to the same system? I understand the slippery slope.
Q: It's the potential for abuse of
power under the color of authority we have already seen. I have personal
friends who have been targeted by the IRS for their political positions.
A: I understand completely.
However, contemporary life is different now. Once upon a time, a person's
personal life was defined by their 'person.' Nowadays, you are a virtual entity
in this ubiquitous domain. Your transaction and behavioral history is
essentially broadcast throughout the planet and, really, we are already there
now. It's not like you can reverse the clock. Rather, we should ask, what is
the ability for us to adapt to this realm in a way that can harvest what it has
to offer but not be subject to it?
