Allow me to also mention, that from everything I've read, it
seems to me that VeriChip and VeriPay are basically one and
the same microchip. The only difference appears to be in the
actual application of the device; that is, in how it is used.
In other words, in one case, the encoded ID number is used to
access one's medical records; while in the other, a similar
code allows one to perform various banking transactions. In
short, this chip appears to be a multi-purpose device, and
its uses are probably endless, and Applied Digital Solutions
is sure to financially exploit this device as much as they
possibly can.

While I have mentioned VeriChip and VeriPay in this series,
please note that there are less intrusive ID products which
basically perform the same functions as these ADS implants.
These other products are likewise based upon Radio Frequency
Identification technology, (RFID), and include Smart Cards
and related bank cards, earrings, pens, key chains, wrist
watches, etc. However, being as these other products provide
a less secure environment, I wouldn't be surprised if they
are eventually phased out, and implantable subdermal chips
become the primary way in which people choose to secure
their personal data.

While I say "people", I am not referring to Christians, as I
hope that God's children are smart enough to realize that we
must firmly reject this satanic "666" system with all of our
strength. As I point out in my article "666: Patience Of The
Saints", one of these days, we're all going to be forced to
draw the line regarding exactly how far we are willing to go
with the children of the world, before we say "This far, and
no further". The Bible makes it very clear that accepting
the Mark of the Beast will result in one's damnation, as we
see here:

"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud
voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and
receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same
shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured
out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he
shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence
of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the
smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and
they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and
his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
Revelation 14:9-11, KJV

As I mentioned in part one, Applied Digital Solutions' third
product is a location device dubbed "Digital Angel". As I
point out in the article "666: Patience Of The Saints", in
their December 1999 press release, Applied Digital Solutions
announced that they had bought out Digital Angel Corp., and
had acquired the patent rights to their flagship product. In
fact, it would seem that VeriChip and VeriPay are different
applications of the very same product. Similar to VeriChip
and VeriPay, Digital Angel has been promoted as a subdermal
implantable chip; however, it appears that since that time,
it has found both internal and external implementations. In
other words, in addition to being implantable in a person's
body, Digital Angel technology can also be integrated into
other electronic components. Thus, this kind of technology
can be built into watches, into devices hung on one's waist,
into hand-held devices, into navigational devices which are
found in cars, boats, aircraft and other vehicles, etc.

Unlike VeriChip and VeriPay, Digital Angel's usefulness is
quite dependent upon another important technology which was
specifically designed for, and which is in fact operated by
the American military establishment. I am referring to the
GPS system. GPS, or the "Global Positioning System", is a
satellite-based navigation system which is both funded by,
and controlled by, the US Department of Defense. While it
was designed for military use, there are now thousands, and
maybe even millions, of civilian users all around the world.
The GPS system is comprised of both Earth-based, as well as
space-based components. The space-based portion consists of
a "constellation" of about twenty-four satellites, which, in
the course of their precisely-defined orbits, cover every
single part of the globe, everyday.

The entire GPS system is rather complex, so I am just going
to offer a simple explanation here, so that you can see how
Digital Angel uses this technology. If you would like a more
thorough explanation, you will find plenty of information on
the Internet; but I think the following explanation will be
sufficient for our purposes here.

In order to take advantage of the GPS system, a person must
possess a GPS receiver. In this case, this is precisely what
the Digital Angel device is. Actually, it is a transceiver,
or a transponder, because it acts as both a transmitter and
a receiver, all in the same unit. A transceiver/transponder
is a device which automatically transmits a signal whenever
an anticipated incoming signal is received. I am reminded
of how one downloads a file from a server. The host server
which contains the file will transmit so many bytes of data,
and then it will wait for the receiving computer, that is,
you, the client, to send back a verification that the data
packets has been successfully received without errors. This
is called the "checksum". If the host server doesn't receive
that verification, it will assume that data corruption, or
perhaps some other problem, has occurred, and the download
may be aborted. So a transponder like Digital Angel works
in a similar way. It's activated by an incoming signal; and
this holds true for VeriChip and VeriPay as well.

In this case, Digital Angel receives radio signals from four
different orbiting satellites, which it must then process in
order to compute the position and the velocity of the host,
as well as the time. If a human being happens to be the host,
meaning that they have a Digital Angel microchip embedded in
their body, then if they become lost, or are kidnapped, for
example, a signal can be sent out which will activate their
chip. Digital Angel will then transmit a radio signal which
will reveal the person's location. But what if a person does
not want other to know where they are located? Too bad! Once
a person is embedded with the chip, they are no longer in
control; the master controllers are! They will be able to
activate the Digital Angel microchip at will! I hope that
you are in good standing with Big Brother Beast!

One thing I discovered as I was conducting some research for
this series, which I find a bit disturbing, is the fact that
being as the GPS system was really designed for military use,
civilian usage of the system has purposely been crippled to
some degree. In other words, the accuracy of the readings is
purposely distorted, so that if a signal is sent to a host,
the resulting coordinates which are sent back by the embedded
microchip, will be off by perhaps a few hundred feet. I also
read that the accuracy of the receiving device, such as ADS'
Digital Angel in this case, may also be pre-determined by the
manufacturer of the device. This leads me to suspect that if
one is willing to pay the money, he may be able to purchase
a more accurate GPS receiver; but this is only speculation
on my part.

While you may have already been aware of the VeriChip device,
what you may not know, is that while everyone's attention has
been diverted by this obviously demonic device, the American
agency DARPA, has been engaged in the development of another
technology called BMI and MMEA. DARPA is an acronym for the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, which happens to
be the central research and development organization for the
US Department of Defense. At the time of this writing, this
secretive agency is headed by Admiral John Poindexter.

Similar to VeriChip, MMEA is also an implantable microchip;
however, it is considerably more advanced than the VeriChip.
MMEA was created by British inventor Kevin Warwick. Warwick
is the Professor of Cybernetics at the University of Reading
in England. As his title implies, Mr. Warwick is involved in
research which deals with artificial intelligence, (or AI),
robotics and cybernetics; that is, the field which seeks to
close the gap between the human-machine interface.

In fact, Professor Warwick has written a book entitled "In
The Mind Of The Machines", in which he warns of a future in
which machines are more intelligent than human beings. It is
for this very reason that Warwick has embarked on a campaign
to enhance human performance through the vehicle of microchip
implants, and he is quite serious about it. Warwick's vision
is to contribute towards the creation of a future society in
which "super humans" will be able to naturally interface with
a computer network. In other words, computer brains and human
brains will become one. When asked if he felt if cyborgs were
going to be the next step in human evolution, Warwick gave
the following unnerving response:

----- Begin Quote -----

Genetic changes offer short term, slight modifications.
However the step to Cyborgs offers humans a natural,
technological upgrade in the technological world we have
instigated. Yes I feel it will be the next evolutionary
step. Indeed we will need to do it if we are to compete with
intelligent machines.

As I first mentioned in the article "666: Patience Of The
Saints", on August 24, 1998, Professor Warwick shocked the
international scientific community when he became the very
first human recipient of a microchip surgically implanted in
his upper left arm. According to information located on his
website, the implanted microchip allowed Warwick to "operate
doors, lights, heaters and other computers without lifting a
finger", at the Department of Cybernetics at the University
of Reading. The way that the professor was able to do this
was very simple. In an article published by "Wired" magazine
in February of 2000, Warwick explains the process with the
following:

----- Begin Quote -----

In August 1998, a silicon chip was implanted in my arm,
allowing a computer to monitor me as I moved through the
halls and offices of the Department of Cybernetics at the
University of Reading, just west of London, where I've been
a professor since 1988. My implant communicated via radio
waves with a network of antennas throughout the department
that in turn transmitted the signals to a computer
programmed to respond to my actions. At the main entrance, a
voice box operated by the computer said "Hello" when I
entered; the computer detected my progress through the
building, opening the door to my lab for me as I approached
it and switching on the lights. For the nine days the
implant was in place, I performed seemingly magical acts
simply by walking in a particular direction.

----- End Quote -----

Notice how the professor used the phrase "seemingly magical
acts". As I said in part one, due to their not being able to
understand scientific technology of the far future, John, as
well as other Prophets of old, would indeed view such things
as "acts of magic", or more appropriately, as things which
must surely be the result of great spiritual power; and that
is exactly what they wrote. So again I ask: Are some of the
events described in the Book of Revelation easily explained
by our modern technology, or future technology yet to come?
What do you think?

Professor Warwick has been designing "intelligent buildings"
for over twenty years; and thus, each time that he would walk
through a doorway in the Cybernetics Department at Reading, a
radio signal would activate the transponder which was located
in the less-than-one-inch capsule which was implanted in his
arm. The transponder would then signal back the professor's
personal ID code. A positive identification would result in
the antennas communicating with the main computer, which in
turn would then initiate the automation sequences in whatever
room Warwick happened to be in at the facility. This phase of
the professor's experiment was called "Project Cyborg 1.0".

For different reasons, Warwick and his team were being rather
secretive regarding the identity of the source which provided
the microchip implant for the Cyborg 1.0 experiment. All they
would say was that it was a known commercial product, which
used commonly-known technology. However, it seems that a big
hint was purposely posted on Professor Warwick's website. On
one certain page where a list of news articles is displayed,
there was a link to an article from The Miami Herald, which
discusses the Jacobs family, whom I mentioned earlier. I was
a bit mystified at first, as these articles were supposed to
be interviews in which Warwick was involved. However, right
near the bottom of the article, I discovered the Professor's
bit of humorous trickery. The article states in part:

----- Begin Quote -----

Only two adults have been implanted with the microchip, one
in Europe, and a doctor working for Applied Digital
Solutions, the Palm Beach company that makes the microchip,
called a VeriChip.

----- End Quote -----

So as it turns out, Professor Warwick was in fact the first
person to be implanted with the VeriChip. Not only that, if
one compares a photo from the professor's site, with images
of VeriChip from Applied Digital Solutions, they look very
much like the same implant.

As I mentioned in part one, VeriChip is a simple device which
consists of a microchip, capacitor and an antenna coil, which
are enclosed in a glass capsule. Having achieved success with
Project Cyborg 1.0, Professor Warwick and his team were ready
to move on to bigger things. Thus, since March 14, 2002, the
professor has been conducting additional experiments with his
wife, Irena. During this phase of the experiment, which they
have dubbed "Project Cyborg 2.0", a more advanced microchip
with one hundred electrodes was inserted into Warwick's arm
just below the elbow joint. This more complex microchip has
enabled Warwick to link his nervous system, via radio waves,
directly to a computer. His website reports that among other
things, the daring professor was able to control an electric
wheelchair, as well as a cybernetic hand. On his site, there
is an image of a cybernetic hand delicately holding an egg
between its fingers.

This reminds me of other experiments where monkeys, lab rats
and people, have been trained to move various objects, such
as a cursor across a computer monitor, or a mechanical arm,
or a lever, by means of electrodes implanted in their brains.

But, returning to Professor Warwick's microchip, MMEA stands
for Multiple Micro Electrode Array. From looking at several
images of the device, I was given the impression that it may
be an enhanced version of VeriChip; meaning that it not only
has more than one circuit board inside of the glass capsule,
(it has three), but it also has the addition of the "collar"
which contains the one hundred electrodes which made contact
with Warwick's medial nerve in his upper left arm. In the
very same "Wired" article that I mentioned earlier, Warwick
describes the MMEA capsule, and its placement, in this way:

----- Begin Quotes -----

The next device will be connected to the nerve fibers in my
left arm, positioned about halfway between my elbow and
shoulder ... Most of the nerves in this part of the body are
connected to the hand, and send and receive the electronic
impulses that control dexterity, feeling, even emotions. A
lot of these signals are traveling here at any given time:
This nerve center carries more information than any other
part of the anatomy, aside from the spine and the head (in
the optic and auditory nerves), and so is large and quite
strong. Moreover, very few of the nerves branch off to
muscles and other parts of the upper arm - it's like a
freeway with only a few on- and off-ramps, providing a
cleaner pathway to the nervous system.

This implant ... will be encased in a glass tube ... One end
of the glass tube contains the power supply - a copper coil
energized by radio waves to produce an electric current. In
the other end, three mini printed circuit boards will
transmit and receive signals. The implant will connect to my
body through a band that wraps around the nerve fibers - it
looks like a little vicar's collar - and is linked by a very
thin wire to the glass capsule.

----- End Quotes -----

As Warwick explains above, the MMEA microchip, is actually a
bidirectional device; meaning that it can both receive and
transmit radio signals to and from the human body, (similar
to the three Applied Digital Solutions products). The chip
is controlled by a software package referred to as BMI. BMI
is an acronym for "Brain Machine Interfaces". As I noted a
moment ago, this hardware, (MMEA), and software, (BMI), is
being used by the professor to intercept nerve impulses from
his brain. One of his goals is to download these impulses to
a computer, where they can be decoded, so that a program can
be written, which will allow the user of BMI to re-transmit
signals back to a person who has the MMEA microchip implant;
and assist them if they suffer from certain maladies such as
paralysis.

But Professor Warwick is much more the visionary than that.
He has also said that one of his goals is to attempt thought
communication at some time in the future, because he insists
that human speech is a rather outdated, insufficient mode of
communication. Warwick believes that it may be possible for
people to communicate by thought alone, across the Internet.

Professor Warwick also wishes to experiment with "exchanging
emotional signals", as he states on his website. He believes
that it may be possible to use the MMEA chip to transmit his
feelings to the computer as radio signals, and then beam the
same signals back to his wife, where they will be recreated
as feelings again. He is particularly interested in pain, and
believes that MMEA technology may someday develop to a point
where it can be used as a tranquilizer to reduce pain, or to
even induce pleasure.

Is it possible that MMEA technology could some day be used
to control what people actually think, as well as what they
are feeling emotionally or physically? It certainly seems
that this is what Professor Warwick believes, and I do find
this very unsettling. How about you?

What I just described to you is similar to how a modem works.
As some of you know, the word "modem" is simply an acronym
for "Modulator/Demodulator". This means that a computer will
read data stored on a hard drive, or on another device, and
then send that data as digital impulses, either by way of a
cable, or via a wireless network connection, to the modem.
Upon receiving the digital signals, the modem converts them
into analog signals, which can be sent through the telephone
network, to the modem which is waiting on the other end. In
turn, the second modem converts the analog signals back to
digital signals which the receiving computer understands. In
this way, two computers are able to "talk" back and forth to
each other via the telephone system. Now you know what is
actually happening when your modem starts making all of that
clatter; unless, of course, you have its volume disabled.

So what Professor Warwick has accomplished over the past two
years is basically the same thing. His MMEA microchip has a
set of tiny electrodes which intercept nerve impulses which
are traveling through his medial nerve. Upon intercepting
these impulses in his arm, the electrodes pass the impulses
by way of a tiny wire, to the circuit boards located in one
end of the glass capsule. The circuit boards then transmit
the impulses to the computer via radio signals. Through
performing various physical actions over a period of time,
he and his colleagues have been able to determine what some
of those impulses mean, and how they affect the human body.
This is more or less like trying to translate some unknown
language from scratch. By trial and error, they have been
able to slowly convert body language, that is to say, nerve
impulses, into computer language, and actually write a sort
of code you might say.

If you know anything about how computers operate, this isn't
really that surprising. After all, computer code, or binary
code, if you prefer, is really simplistic in nature. Data is
really just a determined arrangement of bits, which possess
either a positive charge, meaning a value of one, or else a
negative charge, meaning a value of zero. Eight bits form a
byte, which, depending on the arrangement of zeros and ones,
represents a particular character which you can type on your
keyboard. So just as your computer reads a continuous flow
of digital signals consisting of a combination of zeros and
ones, our brain is likewise sending out a continuous flow of
nerve impulses to the various parts of our bodies. Depending
on the nature of those impulses, our bodies react to them in
a certain way. Warwick is saying that just as data, (those
zeros and ones), can be recorded to a hard drive, our nerve
impulses can likewise be transmitted to a computer, stored
there, be deciphered, and even be re-transmitted to someone
else, where they will be re-created as feelings, reactions,
or whatever. Now, is that spooky or what?

This is not just some tale from a science fiction novel; and
Warwick obviously knows what he's talking about; because they
are making progress with this technology. Professor Warwick's
website states that by stimulating certain electrodes, they
have been able to produce artificial sensations in his arm.
At this current time, they are conducting certain experiments
whereby when he touches his arm, the generated nerve impulses
are intercepted by the electrodes on the MMEA microchip, and
then transmitted to the computer via radio signals, which in
turn relays the same impulses to a less complex MMEA implant
which is embedded in his wife's arm. The end result, is that
when the professor touches his arm, she feels the very same
sensation, as if she had touched her own arm, even though in
reality, she has really done no such thing.

While this type of experimentation could quite possibly lead
to some amazing developments for individuals who suffer from
such things as paralysis, or who may have lost a limb, quite
frankly I find the entire project rather eerie. Even reading
all of the material which is found on Warwick's website, and
looking at the various images there, made me feel unsettled.
This man has a crazy obsession with wanting to be a cyborg,
and he makes absolutely no attempt to hide this fact. Quite
to the contrary, he is very much in-your-face about it. In a
commentary written in late January of 2000 for the British
newspaper "Guardian Unlimited", Professor Warwick stated in
part:

----- Begin Quote -----

"The future is out there; I am eager to see what it holds. I
want to do something with my life: I want to be a cyborg".

----- End Quote -----

One month later, in an interview with "Wired" magazine in
February of 2000 where he discusses his Cyborg 1.0 Project,
Professor Warwick also made the following very disturbing
statement:

----- Begin Quote -----

"I was born human, but it was an accident of fate".

----- End Quote -----

In another interview which is posted on his website, Warwick
also states:

----- Begin Quote -----

Humanity can change itself, but hopefully it will be an
individual choice. Those who want to stay human can, and
those who want to evolve into something much more powerful
with greater capabilities, can. There is no way I want to
stay a mere human.

----- End Quote -----

So as I noted before, Warwick firmly believes that evolving
into a race of "super human" cyborgs is our destiny. I can
truly understand his desire to want to help people who may
suffer from a variety of physical limitations, but I find
his degree of fanaticism alarming. I don't know about you,
but I have no interest in seeing human beings evolve into
some kind of race of "robocops", or "terminal men", or God
forbid, "terminators"; and there is a serious potential for
misuse of this infant technology once it develops further.

Note: "Robocop" was a 1987 sci-fi movie which takes place in
the near future. Peter Weller plays the role of Alex Murphy;
a police officer in Detroit. After an encounter with the bad
guys, Murphy is brutally disfigured, and basically left for
dead. But, thanks to cybernetics, he is "re-in-cyborgated"
as the tough, super-duper, crime-fighting super hero cyborg
"Robocop". He is probably everything that Warwick would like
to be.

"The Terminal Man" is a sci-fi novel written by famed author
Michael Crichton, (Andromeda Strain, Jurassic Park), which
was also released as a movie in 1974. In that movie, the
main character has an electrode implanted in his brain, in
order to try to control his rage. Of course, it's a movie,
and so things have to go wrong. Instead of helping him, the
man goes on a murderous rampage in the downtown streets of
Los Angeles.

As to the "Terminator", I am sure that most of you reading
this are familiar with the series of movies starring the new
governor of California, and former movie super star, Arnold
Schwarzenneger.

But returning to the idea concerning the potential for abuse,
can you begin to understand what kind of demonic developments
this kind of experimentation could possibly lead to, were it
to fall into the wrong hands? When microchip implants become
popular, and I have no doubt that they eventually will, this
kind of evil technology could theoretically be used to make
people think, or feel, whatever those in charge want them to;
perhaps even cause them to experience pain if they get out
of control. Are you having a problem with an unruly crowd?
Well, if they are chipped, just transmit the right signals,
and they will instantly be writhing in pain. Instant crowd
control in a flash. The need for riot police will become a
thing of the past. Even the most dangerous criminal will be
reduced to being an obedient sheep.

I am reminded of a Stanley Kubrick movie which I saw many
years ago called "A Clockwork Orange". While my memory is
faint, in the film, the social behavior of the leader of a
group of unruly hooligans is modified through the use of
pain, so that eventually, he is forced to act against his
will, and even act in a civilized manner. As I said, it has
been many years since I saw the movie, so I really cannot
recall much more about it than that. The point is though,
pain was used to modify human behavior; and it may become
possible to do this on a wide scale, if Warwick's implant
is perfected.

This technology could also be used to do the exact opposite.
If an MMEA-implanted person is feeling sad or depressed, he
or she could be automatically made to feel happy again, just
by beaming the right signals to their implanted microchip.
Big Brother will make all obedient citizens "Techno-Happy".
It reminds me of the "happy drug" called "soma" which noted
author Aldus Huxley writes about in his prophetic-sounding
book about a future eugenic society called "Brave New World".
In the enslaving system of the coming world leader known as
the Beast, it will be very important to keep everyone happy,
particularly as the world's woes continue to increase due to
God's Judgments; so that personal productivity remains high,
and work quotas are met. After all, that is what the "666"
Mark of the Beast global credit system will really be about;
that is, slaving away, whether one is happy or sad, while
earning a profit for the masters; that is, the International
Bankers and the powerful technocrats who will control it all.

In consideration of all of this, Professor Warwick's warning
concerning human beings being reduced to nothing more than
second-class citizens in a future world controlled by robots,
seems all the more prophetic; and I will have more to say on
this in another article. Let us not forget that in describing
the merchandise of the mysterious Babylon the Great found in
the Book of Revelation, the Prophet John did include "slaves,
and the souls of men"; as we see here:

"And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense,
and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts,
and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls
of men."
Revelation 18:13, KJV

Exactly who will be the masters over these slaves and souls
of men? Will it simply be more powerful humans such as the
rich International Bankers and the technocrats? Will it be a
race of cyborgs? Or is it possible that it might even be a
purely robotic race which has surpassed us in intelligence,
and which deems us as inferior creatures, as the professor
has claimed?

With these words, I will bring part two to a close. We still
are not quite done yet. We have covered a lot of territory;
but there are still a few more important things I would like
to share with you; so I trust that you will join me as we
conclude this series in part three.
