Chips Ahoy

In this age of instant media with the internet and cable, it was only a matter of time before the government AKA Big Brothers started to make use of microchip technology for doing evil. Several examples of this are the Clipper, V-chips and Veri-chips. This new age can be connected with Former President William Clinton, for it was he who put in place Presidential Decision Directive 63 (PDD-63) which has laid the groundwork for the Federal Intrusion Detection Network (FIDNET). During his two terms as president, Bill Clinton averaged about one executive order each week.

The Clipper chip was designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) under the auspice and wiles of the FBI. It was their claim that the availability of strong encryption programs for the general public will get in the way of conducting surveillance. Their (the government's) logic was to make mandatory the installation of such chips in all devices that might use encryption, namely computers, telephones, and televisions, thus giving. The government – via control of the encryption algorithm the ability to decrypt any messages it obtained.

In addition to the Clipper chip technology, there is also the V-chip. The FCC has approved policy that necessitate all television sets with picture screens (13 inches) or larger to be equipped with V-chips so that people can block the display of television programs based upon its rating. This policy was made effective as of July 1, 1999. The problem is the reverse nature of such technology. Based on my understanding of reverse-engineering, the V-chip can easily be used as a surveillance and spying device. Being small enough to hold cameras, the circuitry itself can not be obviated or detached from television sets.

Add to these the Veri-chips which are also called radio frequency identification devices (RFID’s). These are injectable microchip/radio transmitter developed by Applied Digital Solutions have the potential to be used in a variety of personal identification applications. RFID chips can store much more information than bar codes and do not need line-of-sight proximity, which means that the information they hold can be read anywhere without swiping.

I mention these technologies because it is more than palpable that America is no longer a democratic nation. On the contrary, it is a nation totally controlled by the rich. So the next time you see that chips ahoy commercial on television wave and smile, you never know who may be looking in.
