They are in one large conspiracy...for example: bin laden and US war on Iraq all being bullshit to make money, etc (just an example).
As far as Illuminati/free masons/skull and bones, there is documentation that these people exists, all you have to do is look. Infowars.com presents quite a bit of information that comes from valid sources.

Do a search for illuminati, you will get a lot of results,
some of them are trash, and one can easily determine what is hogwash, such as sites that include alien info, and supernatural encounters.

The anti christ will come to power somehow, why not through a secret society that is capable of dictating society

Also, what the Bible says, and what it's so called "followers" believe to be true, are two different things. So what the Bible means/says, can also be dispute/discussed about to great lengths.

example.....god rested on the Sabath, and made it holy. (What's the Sabath again?) It's the seventh day.....ie...saturday. So why do people keep sunday as thier holy day, when in the Bible it CLEARLY states Sabath? If you don't believe me, go to your own versions of the Bibles each of you have in your own languages, and do the translation. None of them will say sunday.

Even some of the biggest belivers of the cathiloc religion (ie...Italian, Portuguese, Spanish...ect). have the word "sabado" as the word for saturday in thier own languages......so even the die hard catholics are going against the very thing they say they hold true to thier haerts.

As for the chips.....IMO, it's not going to happen......why?.......they would have to pass a law that allows this to happen.....and that will never happen. Too many people will object to it. Also, unless it it permemnatly secured to a bone in your body without you knowing, then a simple cut of a sharp blade can easily remove the thing.

Some Purdue students have not picked up their new ID cards through the re-carding project because of a rumor that there is a locator chip inside the IDs so Purdue can track their whereabouts.

It's going to be difficult for the public to accept these cards... it'll take some time for the transition... but i'm sure it's in progress now with all thats going on with war & technology.

I can surely see these implanted into army soldiers to locate their whereabouts...

If i was in the army, i'd implant one most likely.

That watch sounds pretty cool... i think it's alright as look as the chip is external... if it's internal (NO WAY!)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Check this out..

This article states that many cats and dogs have been put down this year as suppose to last year... We know that they implanted animals with test chips.. It's surely possible that this was one of the reason why so many kids are being mauled by grandma's dog this year because of it going crazy. They are in the process of testing...

Behavioural Problems? hmmmm this one sounds very fishy to me.

If they put Id's in watches I wouldnt care, thats not too bad an idea, but then your opening yourself up to having your stuff stolen easier cause its more visible to thieves than having a wallet in your pocket.

Thats very true though.. but if you could afford this type of technology now it would cost a fortune... but then again how would the thieves know what that your watch is more capable than the guy next to you?

At a global security conference held November 21, 2003
in Paris, an American company announced a new syringe-injectable microchip implant for humans, designed to be used as a fraud-proof payment method for cash and credit-card transactions.

Radio frequency identification tags aren’t just for pallets of goods in supermarkets anymore. Applied Digital Solutions (ADS) of Palm Beach, Fla., is hoping that Americans can be persuaded to implant RFID chips under their skin to identify themselves when going to a cash machine or in place of using a credit card.



THE SURGICAL PROCEDURE, which is performed with local anesthetic, embeds a 12-by-2.1mm RFID tag in the flesh of a human arm. ADS Chief Executive Scott Silverman, in a speech at the ID World 2003 conference in Paris last Friday, said his company had developed a “VeriPay” RFID technology and was hoping to find partners in financial services firms.


Matthew Cossolotto, a spokesman for ADS who says he’s been “chipped,” argues that competing proposals to embed RFID tags in key fobs or cards were flawed. “If you lose the RFID key fob or if it’s stolen, someone else could use it and have access to your important accounts,” Cossolotto said. “VeriPay solves that problem. It’s subdermal and very difficult to lose. You don’t leave it sitting in the backseat of the taxi.”
RFID tags are miniscule microchips, which some manufacturers have managed to shrink to half the size of a grain of sand. They listen for a radio query and respond by transmitting a unique ID code, typically a 64-bit identifier yielding about 18 thousand trillion possible values. Most RFID tags have no batteries. They use the power from the initial radio signal to transmit their response.

Survey results tallied every 60 seconds. Live Votes reflect respondents' views and are not scientifically valid surveys.


When embedded in human bodies, RFID tags raise unique security concerns. First, because they broadcast their ID number, a thief could rig up his or her own device to intercept and then rebroadcast the signal to an ATM. Second, sufficiently dedicated thieves may try to slice the tags out of their victims.
“We do hear concerns about this from a privacy point of view,” Cossolotto said. “Obviously the company wants to do all it can to protect privacy. If you don’t want it anymore ... you can go to a doctor and have it removed. It’s not something I would recommend people do at home. I call it an opt-out feature.”
Chris Hoofnagle, a lawyer at the Electronic Privacy Information Center said implanted RFID tags cause an additional worry. “When your bank card is compromised, all you have to do is make a call to the issuer,” Hoofnagle said. “In this case, you have to make a call to a surgeon.
“It doesn’t make sense to go from a card, which is controlled by an individual, to a chip, which you cannot control.”
ADS shares have slid from a high of around $12 in 2000 to 40 cents, and the company is now fighting to stay listed on the Nasdaq. “Our common stock did not regain the minimum bid price requirement and on Oct. 28, 2003, the Nasdaq Stock Market informed us by letter that our securities would be delisted from the SmallCap,” ADS said in a Nov. 14 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The company also warned that its implantable microchips are manufactured solely by Raytheon without a “formal written agreement,” and any price increases or supply disruptions would have serious negative consequences.

MasterCard has been testing an RFID technology called PayPass. It looks like any other credit card but is outfitted with an RFID tag that lets it be read by a receiver instead of scanned through a magnetic stripe. “We’re certainly looking at designs like key fobs,” Mastercard Vice President Art Kranzley told USA Today last week. “It could be in a pen or a pair of earrings. Ultimately, it could be embedded in anything—someday, maybe even under the skin.”
ADS is running a special promotion urging Americans to “get chipped.” The first 100,000 people to sign up will receive a $50 discount.
