Getting
Under Our Skin.... February 2002
At the moment, any
data written to the chip must be encoded
at a special facility. Bolton says he expects that to change in
less than six months [ before August 2002 ], when the company
will release a wireless device to write
information to implanted chips. He suggests
such devices will have strict guidelines, which may mean that
body-piercing technophiles won't be able to use the VeriChip as
an internal hard drive.

Currently the chip is

anesthetic. In future applications, the chip may include a GPS
receiver and other advanced features,

GOOD COMMENT :
"It's hard to
believe there are actually Christians who see nothing sinister
about implanting microchips into a human body. In the Book of
Revelation, we are told that everyone on earth will be required
to be "marked," and that without this mark, no one will
be able to buy or sell. The problem is, the one who is marked has
sealed his own doom by trusting human means of security instead
of trusting God.
Some well-meaning souls actually believe that this is a
"spiritual" mark – that God will know the
allegiance to which each of us has pledged, and that no physical
mark will be necessary. Well, that may be fine for God, a
Spirit-Being, but what about the government withholding the
buying and selling? How will they know who's who?
Also, if we think this mark is going to somehow be forced upon
us, I
believe we will be surprised to note that the world will flock to
have it implanted. How many would
refuse it, if the government's health-care system depended upon
an I.D. implant, and if we couldn't be insured any other way ? "Noreen Lowris WND

Quote: June 2, 2006
"This [ Ed: subdermal
chip Verichip ] is an insidious, way-beyond-Orwellian way to
control people's lives," says Rep. Marlin Schneider, a
Wisconsin Democrat and the bill's author. "[The legislation]
doesn't preclude a person from requesting a chip, but it
precludes government bureaucracies and corporations from forcing
people to use it. Members of Congress better wake up to the fact
that the biggest
threat to our liberty isn't Al-Qaeda, but technology."

VeriChip FDA approved
-- April 4, 2002
PALM BEACH, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 4, 2002--Applied Digital
Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADSX - news), an advanced technology
development company, announced today that it
has received written guidance that the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) does not consider VeriChip(TM) to be a
regulated medical device.
This clears the way
for the company to begin sales, marketing and distribution of
VeriChip(TM) in the United States.
Commenting on the FDA notification, Scott R. Silverman, President
of Applied Digital Solutions said: ``Since we introduced VeriChip
to the world in December, it has received global recognition as life-enhancing
technology. This favorable FDA guidance was a major goal of
Applied's new management team. It has been accomplished. We can now begin to sell, market
and distribute VeriChip in the United States.'' http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/020404/40076_1.html

The Digital Devil .... by David Kupelian ( WND editor)
"You
know what? It bothers me too. In fact, the current fascination
and excitement over implanted biochips is only the
"chip" of the iceberg. The inexorable trends –
accelerated mightily by post-9-11 fears – toward biometric
universal IDs, toward wall-to-wall
surveillance and tracking, toward human chip
implantation, toward a cashless society, toward world government,
toward digital immortality, all have one thing in common:
They
sound an awful lot like what I read in Revelation. What do you
think? "

Implantable Chip on Sale
Now --- Oct. 25, 2002
Meanwhile, privacy advocates are wondering about the specter of
forced chippings.
"(ID chips) are a form of electronic leashes, a form of digital
control," said Marc Rotenberg, executive
director of the Electronic Privacy
Information Center. "What happens if an employer makes
it a condition of employment for a person to be implanted with
the chip? It could easily become a condition of release for
parolees or a requirement for welfare."
Rotenberg said EPIC has filed a Freedom of Information Request to
learn more details about the FDA's sudden approval of VeriChip.
The chip has also alarmed some Christians, who fear it is the
biblical "Mark of
the Beast"; dozens of websites
allude to the Satanic implications of the technology.
The company plans to develop a prototype for an
implantable GPS ID chip by the end of the
year.
[ Ed. note: they are
trying unsuccessfully
for an implanted PLD ( personal location device). They want a
single chip for ID and location that is subdermal.

Security chip
In these markets, VeriChip
could function as a stand-alone, tamper-proof personal verification technology or it could operate in conjunction
with other security technologies such as standard ID badges and
advanced biometric devices (i.e. retina scanners, thumbprint
readers or face recognition devices). The concept of using
VeriChip as a means for secure access could also be extended to
include a range of consumer products such as PCs, laptops, cars, cell phones, and even homes
and apartments.
With several Latin American distribution agreements already in-hand, we
will now have the opportunity to demonstrate VeriChip's security
applications to companies and government officials
throughout The
Americas.

VeriChip
touted as a Security Chip--6-6-02
PALM BEACH,
Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2002-- Applied Digital Solutions,
Inc. an advanced technology development company, today announced
that it is preparing to launch a "Protected by
VeriChip(TM)" product awareness campaign to demonstrate the
potential for VeriChip(TM) as a personal
safeguard technology that includes
applications in the defense, security and financial sectors.
VeriChip can enhance airport security, airline security, cruise
ship security, intelligent transportation and port congestion
management. In these markets, VeriChip could function as a
stand-alone, tamper-proof personal verification technology or it
could operate in conjunction with other security technologies
such as standard ID badges and advanced biometric devices (i.e.
retina scanners, thumbprint readers or face recognition devices).
The concept of using VeriChip as a means for secure access could
also be extended to include a range of consumer products such as PCs,
laptops, cars, cell phones, and even homes
and apartments.
In the financial
arena, the company sees
enormous, untapped potential for VeriChip as a personal
verification technology
that could help to prevent fraudulent access to banking
(especially via ATMs) and credit card accounts. VeriChip's
tamper-proof, personal verification
technology would provide banking and credit
card customers with the added protection of knowing their
accounts could not be accessed unless they themselves initiated
-- and were physically present during --
the transaction. One of the most promising areas being explored
is identity theft.
We're moving forward on
all of these applications as
quickly as possible.
We believe the phrase `Protected by VeriChip' will serve as a
positive reminder that VeriChip subscribers will enjoy an added
measure of safety, security and peace of mind."

Roll up your sleeves
for a chip implant...March
22-2002
Security Chips
STRICTLY VOLUNTARY? So far so good. But now
imagine that same chip being used by a totalitarian government to
keep track of or round up political activists or others who are
considered enemies of the state. In the wrong hands, VeriChip
could empower the wrong people.
ADS Vice-President Keith Bolton insists that VeriChips
will be used only in voluntary situations. But the company gives
up control of how devices are used when they're sold to
customers. The U.S. government might consider regulating the
international sale of the VeriChip tracking device in much the
same way it regulates the sale of arms to rogue states.
[also called "security chips"]
A LITTLE RESISTANCE. The company's aggressive
push into South America demonstrates that it sees
a market. Already, ADS has deals in three Latin
American countries to provide VeriChips for security and
authentication. Initial orders exceed $300,000 with
anticipated first-year revenue approaching $2 million. ADS
President Scott Silverman believes that the global market for security chips will be worth
$450 million by 2007.

IBM refigures loan for ADSX ; patent rights suit dropped--- March
28, 2003
Applied Digital Solutions has
agreed to drop a lawsuit filed against IBM in which it accused
the venerable technology giant of surreptitiously seeking to gain
control of key implantable-microchip patents.
In exchange, IBM agreed to restructure $95 million in loans to
Applied Digital, allowing the technology company to avoid a
possible bankruptcy. The complex terms give Applied Digital as
much as another year to repay, but a clause stipulates that if
just $30 million is paid within about 90 days that IBM will
forgive the balance of the loan, Applied Digital said.

(verichip) files lawsuit against IBM Credit--- March 6, 2003
IBM Credit has been the Company's lender since 1999. Under the
terms of the IBM credit agreement and a letter sent by IBM Credit
earlier this week, IBM required payment of approximately $46.2
million by March 6, 2003. The Company did not make that payment,
which, depending on the response from IBM Credit, may
impair the Company's ability to carry on business in the ordinary
course. The lawsuit follows a good faith attempt by the
Company to negotiate a satisfactory amendment to the credit
agreement. The Company believes that its offers in those
negotiations were not accepted, in large part, for the reasons
set forth in the lawsuit. [ breach
of good faith and fair dealing; ]
http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/030307/75120_1.html
"On April
18, 2002, Applied Digital disclosed that during the year ending
December 31, 2001, one of the Company's subsidiaries had been
booking revenue without "evidence of customer acceptance
prior to the recognition of certain revenue." The Company
also disclosed that the subsidiary "did not have proper
restrictions to vendor access within its accounts payable
system." Additionally, the Company disclosed that during the
year ended December 31, 2000, a second subsidiary of Applied
Digital "lacked monitoring controls over its accounts
receivable and was unable to provide certain detailed inventory
listings for certain general ledger balances." The
disclosure of improper accounting practices at Applied Digital
subsidiaries drove Applied Digital's stock down 40%.
Approximately three weeks later, on May 9, 2002, defendants
claimed that nearly every major hospital in the West Palm Beach,
Florida, area would be equipped with VeriChip scanners - an
indispensable component of the Company's Verichip technology.
However, not one hospital in West Palm Beach or anywhere else had
accepted or agreed to use a scanner, an essential device for
retrieving the VeriChip's information. One day later, on May 10,
2002, when the truth was disclosed that no hospital had accepted
a scanner, Applied Digital's stock fell sharply, dropping nearly
30% in one day. "

" my mother sent me this, [ an alphabetical
list of tagging ]
"Applied digital Solutions: This firm makes rfid tags
that can be affixed to products or implanted in animals or humans
or inventory control or identification. The size of a grain of
rice, each capsule contains a microchip with a serial number. ADS
hopes rfids will replace credit cards, medical bracelets and even
keys. It has implanted them in only 30 people in the U.S. but has
sold 6,000 for human use worldwide.
Baggage: McCarren International in Las Vegas
this year will become the first airport to attach rfid tags to
baggage.
Casino chips: U.S. casinos may soon use scanners
to read the value of tagged chips and to monitor betting
patterns.
Drugs: The FDA is studying whether rfid's can be
used to prevent counterfeiting by tracking pharmaceuticals
imported from Columbia, Argentina and Mexico.
E-Zpass: This early use of rfid's allows drivers
to pass throught tollbooths without stopping to pay.
Fish: The federal government has implanted
rfid's in 10 million salmon to study spawning. In Australia
officials busted 3 poachers after scanning their freezer and
finding fish that had been tagged by game wardens.
Guns: The Malaysian government has purchased the
rights to rfid's that may be durable enough to be placed in
bullets.
Hitatchi: The company has developed an rfid that
measures 0.012 inches-smaller than the period at the end of this
sentence.
Information society: Delegates to the World
Summit on the information Society were surprised to discover that
the ID badges of 50 high powered guests had been imbedded with
rfid's.
Jamming: One firm is developing a device that
would jam rfid scanners by sending out fake serial numbers.
Kids: Last year ADS {see A} launched a program
in Mexico and Brazil called Veri-Kid that allows parents to
implant rfid's into their children.
Lipstick: Shoppers who bought Lipfinity {max
factor} at an Oklahoma Walmart were not told that it's package
contained an rfid.
Money: The European Central Bank may embed
rfid's into paper currency to make money traceable to the person
who withdraws it.
New Testament: Many fundamentalists associate
rfid implants with "the mark of the beast" that the
Bible says will identify nonbelievers when the world ends.
Over the border: A federal program provides
access cards with rfid's to 50,000 "secure" drivers who
frequently enter and leave the U.S.
Prisoners: Inmates at Pima County jail in
Arizona wear rfid wristbands. Guards are issued rfid cards to
access secure areas.
Quality control: The U.S militery which has so
far invested $272 million in rfid's, uses them to monitor 300,000
containers daily. An inventory job that once took soliders 3 days
can now be done in 20 minutes.
Readers: The San Francisco Public Library plans
to add rfid's to 2 million books to allow patrons to check
themselves out.
Spychips.com: Consumers Against Supermarket
Privacy Invasion and Numbering {CASPIAN} and 33 other groups have
called for a moratorium of rfid's in the marketplace.
Trash: Garbage cans in Sweden and British
Columbia come equipped with rfid's. Garbage trucks weigh and scan
the cans, and the owner is billed.
U: Tags are Ubiquitous ... everywhere
Veripay: Instead of waiting in line,
"chipped" customers stroll past a sensor that
calculates what they owe and deducts the sum from the bank
account number of their rfid.
Wal-mart: The retail giant has told it's top
suppliers to have rfid's in each pallet of products delivered to
it's stores by 2005. The system could save $8.4 billion annually
by reducing labor costs and theft.
X-rays: CASPIAN suggests finding a vet or a
chiropractor to let you x-ray products for rfid's. It also
provides instructions on how to disable them {basically, you
crush them like a bug}.
You: Save $50 off the $200 list price when you
pre-register to get chipped at 4verichip.com. The standard
location is between the elbow and the shoulder of the right arm.
Zoology: Entamologists glue tags to insects to
study behavior. 50 million pets also have rfid tags.
