Missouri law will fine employers for requiring microchip implants

Your bosses can still make you work weekends and give you projects you loathe. But Missouri lawmakers have voted to make it a crime if they order that a microchip be implanted in your arm.

Forcing someone to get a microchip implantis already barred in California, North Dakota and Wisconsin. Legislation awaiting Gov. Matt Blunt’s signature would make it a misdemeanor with a fine of up to $1,000 for a boss who demands that a worker get an implant.

Katherine Albrecht, an expert in consumer privacy and radio frequency identification, acknowledges that microchip implants might sound like “black helicopters and tin foil hats.”

But Albrecht, the founder of AntiChips.com, and other critics argue there are tangible medical, privacy and religious worries driving attempts to pass laws banning forced implants.

“The people who oppose it don’t understand how real the threat is, and the people who are gung-ho don’t understand its power,” Albrecht said.

  • No way in heaven or hell I would let someone do this...

  • Where are we going and why are we in this hand basket?!

    Anyone who believes that microchip implants have benefits has no faith in humankind’s ability to take care of and police itself.

  • First they wanted drug testing and drug tested alot of harmless cannabis consumers out of the job market forcing them to become self reliant, now they're after the rest of you but with a verichip... enjoy the ride, you'll wonder why we put up with it as long as we have, but you may not be as tolerant.

  • Do some research on microchip implants clayjj05 and you will find that is exactly what is intended. Social security details, bank accounts, health insurance, drivers id, criminal records in fact your whiole life in a chip, where you go what you do et al. And if they dont like you for some reson they just switch your chip off and hey presto. you don't exist

  • This is really frightening to think that they can make you have things like this or luckily in this case they cant

  • We had better not do that... Starting to fulfill the prophecy of Revelation 13:17

  • Does anybody know of any occasions where this has actually been done to employees? I wouldn't be shocked by the CIA or maybe other branches of the military, but any uses, while possibly not shocking, are still scary as hell.

  • god dang ol' end of days seems to be coming up a lot lately...

    ya s'pose they were really putting a chip in me when I had that biopsy???

    that's ok...i'll just put some foil under my bullet proof vest...what the heck is this world coming to...hopefully not the end.

  • no way in hell. if a job tried to force me to do it, i would quit. if(and when) the government tries, i will run away and join a revolutionary militia or something. this is just another way they are trying to control us---by scaring us with stuff about security and then getting us to ask for it. those who trade their freedom for security receive neither.
  • The one thing to consider is that this law fines and prevents "employers," however it makes no mention of banning the US Government from ordering a microchip be planed in your arm. Though, I reckon they should require it for repeat child molesters.

  • This is the MARK OF THE BEAST spoken about in the book of Revalations in the Bible.

    I'm not Religious, but I do believe it is a book of Prophecy.

  • Yea, donkeyfly69 I agree that repeat child molesters should be in jail. However, as we both know they are running about the streets for reasons ranging form a lax judicial system to prison over crowding.

    One more step away from Civil Liberty. Applause to Missouri for taking the lead in what will eventually be one of our top legal battles.

    I find it interesting that there is only ONE Federally Approved microchip manufacturer.... someone needs to take a close look at the VeriChip Corporation. I wonder which one of our current administration owns part of THAT one.

  • This is where the "mark of the beast" (666) gonna come from, on your hand or forehead. You know.

  • hmm, just like animals

  • No way in HELL I'd wear an implant! Good for Missouri, I'm glad my state has some sort of moral grounds. I would rather die than become trackable at all times.

    Another thing is who knows what kind of chemicals are inside of that implant... It could very well make someone sick or cause some sort of skin-cell degredation over the years.
  • good comment Hawkmang you dont know what else could be inside these things

  • This was first posted some 15 years ago in canada and dismissed as impossible. just goes to show

  • Just imagine the chips that will be out in a couple more years! Scary

  • Again Hawkmang, you have my attention, thanks for the pod! I definitley am going to check out more on the revolution march...I hope it is going to be a super strong message to the capital.

  • I find these devices interesting from an integration standpoint; so many people's gut reaction to this 'invasion' is negative, I don't see how they'll ever gain acceptance in the eyes of the public. It's not like trying a different brand of soda and deciding that this one tastes just fine; it's a life-altering decision with very little precedent.

    I can see positive ways in which this sort of technology can be used, but even if I didn't personally find the concept slightly distasteful, I don't have any reason to trust the current iterations.

  • I've been a student of bible prophecy since 1983, when I was only 13, and this story makes goosebumps stand up all over. Here is why:

    Rev 13:16 And he causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in (not on, but IN, mind you...scary) their right hand, or in their foreheads:
    Rev 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
    Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six. (the infamous 666)...

    http://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/Rev/Rev013.html#17

    This thing would be so easy for the government(s) of the world to INSIST everyone have, otherwise, you would be a non-entity: no food, no gas, no nothing-you basically wouldn't be able to buy or sell anything, as the prophecy says. Scary a$$ sh!t, especially since all it would take is another major "terrorist attack" for them to issue the order for all to have this implant, all under the auspices of FEMA and the Patriot Act, of course. If you've studied what I've studied, you would know, without a shadow of a doubt, that events are lining up so fast, clicking together like the tumblers of an ancient lock on a crypt, that it makes one's head spin.

    The Boy Scout's motto is: Be Prepared. Now may very well be the time to be a Boy Scout, man...get prepared-BE prepared, for anything. No sh!t.
  • Implant a chip? That sounds like someone is trying to be nosey as hell, and trying to control what we do as human beings. I will give this the thumbs down!

  • This is such a freaky thought, but at the same time, I fear we will be lulled into something similar. Retina scanning, which requires no implant, is already a reality.

  • They wanna collect our DNA when we're born.

    They wanna listen to all our phone conversations and emails.

    They wanna keep as many of our young men and women as they can get in a perpetual war.

    They wanna convict people for practicing free speech.

    They wanna put implants in our bodies.

    Does it really need to be any more blatant? Does anyone else feel like they're living in an Orwellian nightmare? I mean shit, it's so absurd its way too easy to dismiss as raging paranoia, but this is how they start, one thing at a time, "oh its no big deal, stop being paranoid" until you turn around and can't effing get out anymore!

  • Seems like a pretty low fine for something like that.

  • I really havent been into god in my life and I have had many doubts but after seeing this on the mail i really have decided to change my life for Christ!
    it says in the bible that in the last coming of Jesus christ
    in the last day that the" anti christ or the devil"
    will use the government to implant anyone with his mark of the best! but only the ones that accept it..they're going to fill you head and try to persuade you to take it but DONT!!!!
    you may think im crazy but read it..its the truth and the only truth!
    reply to me if you wanna pick up a bible and resd where it tells you about this!
  • This is just the beginning. Hopefully more people speak up and become aware of the situation.

  • The government is already planting chips in the new drivers licenses and passports. This issue is bigger than Missouri.

  • lifestudentno83:

    in studies, rats implanted with the chips get tumors.

    merasyad:

    my new passport has one, but i plan on smashing it with a hammer before i start my summer travel.

  • I will make a prediction that sometime in the not to distant future, there will be a disaster that the government will use to convince people that microchipping will protect us. They start small to warm us up, i.e. pets, then they'll go on to criminals, pedophiles, alzeimers pts, children, and finally all of us. Problem-reaction-solution They used this tactic to convince us that war with Irac was necessary.

  • the only thing they cant do is force you to get it...
    they will persuade you and tell you that life is no good with out it..you wont be able to buy or sale anything you wont be able to get gas or food...but if you refuse you wont be alone and theres always hope and help.!
  • I'm waiting for the gov to start injecting newborns with chips as a way of "keeping them safe' - yeah right.
