Chipping away at 'The Beast'

By Darren Weeks

Anyone who wants to know what they can do to make a difference in stopping the degradation of our liberty, need only to look to Wisconsin as an example for what can be done.

There are a lot of bad bills pending in Wisconsin, just as there are in other states.

However, a bill was introduced last year by Wisconsin state representative Marlin Schneider that serves as a step in the right direction. The act intends to ban "mandatory" chipping of individuals. Violators could be fined $10,000 a day.

While the language of the bill could be strengthened, it certainly sets an example for every other State of the union. I'll have more on the details of the language in a moment, including my model legislation that I think would be more effective.

In the meantime, it is my opinion that everyone in Wisconsin should support Assembly Bill 290 (pdf), with one exception: Legislators should amend the current bill to ban ALL HUMAN CHIPPING, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IT IS "MANDATORY". Why do I believe it is important to outlaw even voluntary human chipping? The answer is really simple.

Under a system where humans are "allowed" to be microchipped, certain incentives can be extended to those who have the microchips, while others may become second-class citizens. If the law doesn't ban ALL HUMAN MICRO-CHIPPING, those who do not "volunteer" to get chipped, can be subjected to greater hassle at the airport, more difficulty in obtaining goods and services, etc.

In other words, they can make life so difficult for those who refuse to "volunteer", that it will force the majority to finally cave in and get the chip.

Keep in mind, they tell us that the income tax is "voluntary". Given how much people hate paying those federal, state, and city taxes, how is it that they get so many people to show up at the post office each year and "volunteer"? It's called "extortion" with a flag on the wall. Need I say more?

Given this example, it's expedient for Wisconsins to work to strengthen the language of Assembly Bill 290 to include ALL HUMANS, regardless of their willingness to get chipped. (Yes, we have to protect the stupid people.)

For those of us who don't live in Wisconsin, this is a great way to be proactive and get these bills passed in our states before the time comes that we find ourselves literally fighting for our lives against mandatory ID chipping and tracking.

As we've already witnessed with the National Animal Identification System all kinds of excuses can be made to justify the implanting of microchips. It's my opinion that the best defense against such a measure, is a good offense.

It's time to contact your state legislators and ask them to introduce legislation to permanently ban microchipping of ALL HUMANS in your state -- not just the mandatory chipping. We need legislation passed to ban ALL human microchipping in every state, and we need it NOW!

Below, please review the model legislation that I have created. I used some aspects of the Wisconsin act, and strengthened the language to the point where I believe it will be much more effective. I encourage suggestions on how the model legislation could be improved. For now, below is what I have and am encouraging people to submit to your state legislative leaders.


MODEL LEGISLATION:

THE ID PRIVACY PRESERVATION ACT

AN ACT to permanently ban the implanting of a microchip in a human.

The people of the state of ____________, do hereby enact as follows:

Section 1. No person may require a person to undergo the implanting of a microchip.

Section 2. No person may be allowed to undergo the implanting of a microchip.

Section 3. Any person violating Sections 1 or 2 shall be liable for, and subject to a fine of not less than $10,000 nor more than $20,000. Each day of continued violation shall constitute a separate offense.

Section 4. This act shall be effective immediately upon passage.
