Delusions, the Legislature and an implanted microchip
We often say that insanity reigns at the state Capitol.
But when we do, we do not literally accuse the people inside of letting their grip on reality slip. We simply mean that our ability to fathom their motives, or their ability to express them, has fallen short.
Referring to a politician as delusional is simply entertaining hyperbole. But it is something that becomes much less funny when a truly tortured soul bears her torment.
Last Wednesday, the House Judiciary Committee entertained SB 235, the bill sponsored by Sen. Chip Pearson (R-Dawsonville) to prohibit the involuntary implantation of microchips in human beings.
In Gov. Roy Barnes’ stump speech, the bill has become a routine example of the Republican tendency to attack problems that don’t exist, and ignore the ones that do. Besides, Barnes argues, if someone holds him down to insert a microchip in his head, “it should be more than a damned misdemeanor.”
Three states have instituted bans, and others have considered the legislation. In Virginia, a bill supporter declared microchips to be the “666″ mark of the beast referred to in the Book of Revelation.
Pearson has said his motivation isn’t biblical or religious – that he is simply working in advance of technology’s next assault on personal privacy. Not unlike limiting the uses of DNA testing by health insurance companies, he argues.
At the House hearing, state Rep. Ed Setzler (R-Kennesaw), who is shouldering the legislation in the House, spoke earnestly for better than a half hour on microchips as a literal invasion of privacy.
He was followed by a hefty woman who described herself as a resident of DeKalb County. “I’m also one of the people in Georgia who has a microchip,” the woman said. Slowly, she began to lead the assembled lawmakers down a path they didn’t want to take.
Microchips, the woman began, “infringe on issues that are fundamental to our very existence. Our rights to privacy, our rights to bodily integrity, the right to say no to foreign objects being put in our body.”
She spoke of the “right to work without being tortured by co-workers who are activating these microchips by using their cell phones and other electronic devices.”
She continued. “Microchips are like little beepers. Just imagine, if you will, having a beeper in your rectum or genital area, the most sensitive area of your body. And your beeper numbers displayed on billboards throughout the city. All done without your permission,” she said.
It was not funny, and no one laughed.
“Ma’am, did you say you have a microchip?” asked state Rep. Tom Weldon (R-Ringgold).
“Yes, I do. This microchip was put in my vaginal-rectum area,” she replied. Setzler, the sponsoring lawmaker, sat next to the witness – his head bowed.
“You’re saying this was involuntary?” Weldon continued.
The woman said she had been pushing a court case through the system for the last eight years to have the device removed.
Wendell Willard (R-Atlanta), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, picked up the questioning.
“Who implanted this in you?” he asked.
“Researchers with the federal government,” she said.
“And who in the federal government implanted it?” Willard asked.
“The Department of Defense.”
“Thank you, ma’am.”
The woman was allowed to go about her business, and the House Judiciary Committee approved passage of SB 235.

Yes, this woman likely is afflicted with schizophrenia. On the other hand, I wonder why the questions didn’t include “do you have an ex-ray showing this implant?”
The lack of curiosity is curious to me. Although the odds are against it, there are some cases of people being experimented on by elements within the CIA.
The fact that they didn’t event ask the obvious questions gives me pause.
On rare occasions, a so-called paranoid is correct.

This is outrageous! I DEMAND the RIGHT to torture my co-workers using my cellphone and the microchips I implanted in them! I spend literally hours hiding injection-needles in their chairs so as to best implant chips deep in their butt-cheeks. And now the legislature has the temerity to ruin everything I and the Department of Defense and UFO Central Command have worked for! It’s positively un-Martian of them!

Not important, tragedy, embarrassment to the state, paranoid, nut case C,I,A or little Green men, I don’t know. But when I take my dog or cat to the vet you always have to fill out a form and on the form theres a check box next to that box it asks whether or not you want your dog or cat micro-chipped. Some day that check box won’t be there because they made some insignificant little law saying all animal must be IMPLANTED with a MICRO-CHIP. Fact is in some states they have already tried. Then one day you will see that same box on a form when we take our children for a check up at the doctors office. You’ll look up at the community cork board and see an ad the says, Stop worrying about where your children are. IMPLANT them with a MICRO-CHIP TODAY and let the worries go away. DON’T THINK JUST DO IT BEFORE ITS TO LATE!!!!! Brought to you by the F.O.C.M.D. ( Federal Observation of Citizen Movement Department). In fact right now in some places you can actually request for it( for the safety of your children of coarse).
This is how the suppression of a people or a nation is implemented into law slow and kept out of the news.
Besides in this country everybody deserves there day in the lime light no matter what the reason. Now think about it. That person just might of saved one of your loved ones from BEING TAGGED.

Hey, Scrawny Kayaker: It’s called triage. You deal with what is most important first. Like creating jobs in GA, not a possible future problem! Can you distinguish between the two? Are you dealing with reality? If microchip implantation is predicted to be such a problem, then why not pass a law against mind reading???
Yep, anything will come out of California. So, why are we even metering GA against CA?
Nope, not every conservative is luny! If that were the case, every liberal would be a Nancy Pelosi twin! This proves liberals just cannot think independently, doesn’t it? Liberals “feel” instead of “think”!!!!

I knew this was coming though It is just a matter of time before they will suggest tracking chips implanted. First will be Sex Offenders and Dangerous felons, Next in the military and then in Children all in the name of “Public Safety” The sad part is some people will think this is a goos idea

If only we lived in a country where it is assumed that the government does not have ANY power that hasn’t been explicitly given to it by the people. Unfortunately, we don’t. We live in a country where the government is assumed to have any power that isn’t explicitly forbidden to it.
For that reason, the bill described in this article is a good one. It shouldn’t be necessary, but it is. Rarely do politicians proactively address problems, preventing them instead of reacting to them. This is one case of a clear threat to liberty that is being proactively addressed.
Make no mistake, there are people in our government that would love to make all persons in the country (and even in the world), submit to biometric implants that cannot be safely removed (and there are many techniques to ensure this). Those people will argue, after some disaster like 9/11, that national security and the safety of children require that we make “this tiny sacrifice that won’t impact our lives at all”. They will also say that if you have done nothing wrong or have nothing to hide, then you should have no objections to this imposition.
And yes, there are advantages to having such devices forces into people. Fighting terrorism, identity theft, finding murderers and pedophiles. But remember this. More people have been murdered by Hitler and Stalin each than have been killed by all the terrorists and all the criminals in all of human history. The power of the government to torture, kill, steal, and maim far exceeds that of any or all criminals.
That is why this bill is good. For those who think that no one in government would propose forcing such implants into people, remember this. No one thought that anyone in government would legalize torture or suspend habeas corpus, but that is exactly what the USA Patriot act did. It always happens the same way: you start with violating the rights of “terrorists” and “criminals” and once the sheeple get use to that, you can do the same to them.

devin; ‘Ok, now, clearly this woman might be off axis just a hair, but how hard would it have been to conduct a test for the device? One x-ray and its over.’
See, *THAT’S* the problem. They (the bat-sh*t-crazies) don’t *want* it to be “over”. Because as long as people *listen* to them they get elected to office, write their bat-sh*t-crazy laws, and hold hearings so that equally bat-sh*t-crazy crazies will know that they’re doing their jobs (or will at least *look* like they’re doing their jobs) and are keeping Satan from taking over (at least in Georgia) and can get elected to another term so that they can start the bat-sh*t-craziness all over again.
Notice that I never said anything about *passing* those laws. *Passing* these things is not the point. Even if crap like this *NEVER* passes, it’s okay with them. The whole point is simply to give the target constituency (the bat-sh*tters) a good show and, come election time, be able to tell them that they fought the good fight against The Great Satanic Microchip and it’s Evil OWG Hoard…whether that “fight” had any *actual* effect or not…

Who makes the SB 235 and BC-19?
Really, how can this be made and not regulated as to where it is going and who has to have it?
Can you be tested to find out if you have an illegal implant or one at all?
Where can you go to get rid of it?
We do live in bio-terrorist society, so anyone could simply have been implanted with one or even ingested one. Example by, foods eaten or medical examinations. Please send emaill reply and update ..

OK gentleman. I want you to think about sexual trafficking, for a minute. Ever see “Taken” w/ Liam Neeson? Sexual trafficking has gone high tech. Now. Have you seen the “island of dr. monroe” w/ val kilmer? (yes, bad horrific-fiction movie, but work with me on this). Remember the “remote” the doc used to control the animal/men?
Imagine an already traumatized young woman or child that has been taken from their home or country, and imagine their horror at waking up after being drugged to find that they are being shocked in their rectum/genetalia if they do not obey. It’s a form of control, as it’s physical/emotional and psychological.
Soo laugh all you want, but this crap IS HAPPENING NOW.

Think of it this way. We take our dogs to the vet to get microchipped. It’s done thru an injection-type process. Animals have been tagged with bio sensors in science FOR DECADES.
As another example, you know those TENS units that people get for their backs that administer muscle stimulation/shocking sensations to cover pain? First the technology was with electrodes and tethered leads to the unit. Then it went wireless. Now you can go to a pain clinic and get tiny electrodes injected in your back. You can administer the shock/stimulation to cover up the pain, and it’s very effective.
But there are monsters injecting this technology other places. Look at it logically. If there really was this technology (and it has been here for well over 20 years), wouldnt it make sense that SOMEONE would be abusing it? Wouldnt it make remarkable sense that if you were a human trafficker controling the product that you could administer control without harming the merchandice? Now, if that woman was overweight and unattractive, i cannot fathom why she would be chipped.
Ok, now think about revenge. And people that could sell revenge. Think they would use this as part of their revenge package?
That Senator/Representative wouldnt have used that woman’s testimony if she hadnt had medical documentation to back it up. It would have been political suicide. OH IT’S HAPPENING.

Oh yes, it’s so very funny. Imagine a young child that has been taken from her home. Let’s say maybe she’s 14 or so…Old enough to be sensitive of her growing womanhood, and young enough to no know that bad things happen to good people sometimes.
So – she’s taken and sold, let’s just say. Are you uncomfortable yet? Because you SHOULD BE. Then, imagine the horror, after being raped and tortured repeatedly…Imagine the horror that CHILD goes thru when one of her rapists takes out something that looks at a tv remote, points it at her, and then she is shocked in her vagina. Isnt that a freaking riot? So, yes, i’m sure you feel uncomfortable. IMAGINE the embarassement and horror this woman had to go thru to even get to the point where she could stand before others and tell her story, AND YOU THINK IT’S FUNNY? Well, perhaps karma will reward you for your compassion. We can only hope.
