ID microchips

Just when I was beginning to think that mainstream conspiracy theory was running out of oomph, I saw this headline: “Secret Bilderberg Agenda to Microchip Americans Leaked”. [1] Combining two of the big conspiratorial threads of recent years – the growth of the so-called New World Order and the increasing technological abilities of the state to monitor and control the individual – this is almost too perfect. Better yet, there may even be something to it.

The source of the story is the veteran Bilderberg-hunter, American journalist Jim Tucker, who almost single-handedly has dragged the publicity-averse organisation into the light. Tucker’s speciality is sniffing out the location of Bilderberg meetings and then getting snippets of the conversations from the fringe participants, essentially the aides of the executives and politicians who attend the gatherings. Tucker has a pretty good track record over the years. At this year’s Bilderberg meeting in America, he was told that the meeting had discussed the idea of implanting us with ID-bearing microchips.

This isn’t that far off the mainstream agenda. Clearly the powers-that-be have a major problem tracking “terrorists” in a world in which millions of people are on the move. For some years, there have been proposals to use RFID (radio frequency identification) chips in people, and these are already being used in small numbers.[2] But there are two problems with RFID chips: animal studies suggest the implanted RFID chips cause cancer in a significant minority of cases, between two and five per cent;[3] and, despite government claims to the contrary, they can be altered. The govern­ment’s new e-passport, containing an RFID chip, has been cloned and manipulated in minutes using off-the-shelf equipment.[4] You might think that this combination – it’s hackable and causes cancer – would kill the idea off. But governments have an enormous capacity to pursue dumb projects if they are pitched at them correctly: look at this government’s ongoing multibillion-pound pursuit of a nation-wide computer network for the NHS despite a chorus of computer experts telling them it will never work. Forums like Bilderberg have a long history of producing policy ideas which are later adopted by governments, and the idea of having the population chipped has an obvious appeal to the authoritarian mind.

Meanwhile, back at 9/11, still the biggest item on the Anglo-American conspiratorial agenda, more films have appeared in the wake of the astonishingly successful Loose Change. The blurb for one of them, “9/11 Missing Links”,[5] included this: “The facts will make it abundantly clear that the so-called 9/11 Truth movement has been infiltrated and is ultimately controlled by the same criminals who orchestrated the attacks. As they say: ‘if you want to control the dissent you lead the dissent.’”
