Subcutaneous Microchip Mandates

by Martin Armstrong,Armstrong Economics:

There was a time when warnings about governments embedding identification technology directly into the human body would have sounded like something from George Orwell rather than a public policy debate. Yet here we are. Washington State is now considering legislation to prohibit employers from forcing workers to acceptsubcutaneous microchip implants. The fact that lawmakers even need to debate such a law should alarm anyone paying attention to where society is heading.

These implants are not some futuristic fantasy. They already exist and have been used in workplaces. The devices are small RFID or NFC chipsroughly the size of a grain of ricethat are injected under the skin, typically between the thumb and forefinger. They contain no battery and do not actively transmit signals across long distances. Instead, they act as a passive digital key. When scanned by a nearby reader, the chip sends a unique identification number to a computer system connected to a database. That database determines whether you can open a door, access a computer network, enter a building, or authorize a payment.

Companies have already experimented with this technology.In Sweden, workers in technology hubs voluntarily implanted these chips so they could unlock office doors, log into computers, and pay for meals simply by waving their hands near scanners.That happened in 2017 and technology is rapidly evolving. Biohacking companies now sell implantation kits to consumers who want to unlock their homes or vehicles the same way. What is being marketed as futuristic convenience begins to look far less appealing when one considers the broader direction governments are taking with digital infrastructure.

At the same time that corporations are experimenting with embedding identification devices in the body, governments across the world are aggressively pushing digital identification systems. Digital ID programs consolidate identity verification into centralized databases containing everything from passports and healthcare records to employment credentials and tax information. Once identity becomes digitized and centralized, access to everyday life increasingly depends on that system functioning and recognizing you as compliant.

Layer onto that the growing push for central bank digital currencies. Unlike physical cash, CBDCs operate entirely within controlled digital networks run by central banks and governments. Every transaction becomes visible within the system. The currency itself can be programmed. Purchases can be monitored, restricted, or denied. Access to funds can be frozen instantly.
