Calvin Klein is tracking you

Wow, my wife just found out about this and passed it on to me. It's like that movie "Minority Report", except instead of scanning your retina, they are starting to put these chips into your clothing and into your purchases of all kinds.

When you wear the clothing and go back into the store, they know what you've bought in the past.

It's a serious invasion of privacy that we don't even know about.

Not only that, but check out the company that makes these chips. Their stock has skyrocketed recently, more than tripling in price. Their name is DOC (digital angel corporation) and they are owned by this other company known as ADSX.

Scary shit. I just found out about this and am still digesting this. Wanted to pass it along.

Wal-Mart is, naturally, a big advocate of this.

Check it out.

1. Just heard an interview with the woman behind this website
on Pacifica here in L.A. this morning. I'm glad I'm no fan of Calvin Klein -- OR WAL-MART! Geez, I may have to buy a sewing machine and make my own damned clothes if this becomes "the norm."

4. I think my wife heard the same show and told me about it
she wanted me to post it here and I was happy to oblige.

Funny thing I knew about this DOC stock a couple of years ago. Supposedly it was going to be used for all these benevolent purposes like tracking sheep across ranches, and keeping track of children, and making sure if elderly people fell down somewhere they could be found.

And now look what the corporations have gone and done with it.

Fucking insane. They can put these things anywhere and track you!

She told me Ahnold wants to put them in California license plates, so they can track where you go!

this is some scary Big Brother shit!

5. Wal Mart just required their top vendors to use these
In ALL products, not just clothing. They are advocating using the tiny implantable computer ID chips -- yes, I said IMPLANTABLE, as in under the skin on your arm -- to "improve you shopping experience" by allowing you to fill your cart and simply walk out the door. Your computer-chipped purchases will be rung up to your computer-chipped arm, and your bank account debited.

I'm so glad I'll be dead in 40-50 years. I so don't like where we're heading.

6. I hate to be a weirdo
But this is just the sort of stuff that the fundamentalists have been preaching. I know from my own experience about 30 years ago (OMG I am old) that I was hearing about this and could not believe it. Now it's here.

Who is behind all this stuff? Is it Bushco or was research into this technology going on before him? The chips have already been implanted in Mexican DOJ employees and also I read about a group in Barcelona that had themselves chipped to go to this one hoighty toity nightclub. Verichips (as they are called) were approved by the US FDA in mid-October this year for medical applications, as well.

7. the FDA screws us again
time for a purge at the FDA. They're hurting us rather than protecting us.

8. if the fundies rave against it, prepare for them to adopt it wholheartedly
once one of their "godly" leaders adopts the "Antichrist's" technology--see a pattern here?

9. the fundies are to F@#$ up mentally to
Edited on Tue Nov-30-04 04:04 PM by superconnected
see it's what they're against. I'm not kidding when I state things like I think they're averaging 20 points under 100.

If GW says it, they will embrace it.

Hey, they embraced the patriot act. They're yelling no taxes and supporting the growth of the deficit and the war.

Believe me those idiots will help usher this in, "for our protection".

11. This might be a stupid question...
But can you still wash the clothes if there is a chip in them? To me it seems like water would hurt it...I mean, you don't want to spill water on your hard drive now do you? This is way creepy...good thing i never like A&F or Calvin Klein anyway...
