Its here. Approaching 10% of Swedish company’s 2000 employees are testing implants for us all, because they want to be “part of the future.”
Testing is widespread world wide and implants for humans were approved by FDA in 2004.

Cyborgs at work: employees getting implanted with microchips
STOCKHOLM (AP) — The syringe slides in between the thumb and index finger. Then, with a click, a microchip is injected in the employee’s hand. Another “cyborg” is created.
What could pass for a dystopian vision of the workplace is almost routine at the Swedish startup hub Epicenter. The company offers to implant its workers and startup members with microchips the size of grains of rice that function as swipe cards: to open doors, operate printers, or buy smoothies with a wave of the hand.
The injections have become so popular that workers at Epicenter hold parties for those willing to get implanted.
An ultra-trendy co-working space in central Stockholm is offering microchip implants to its 2,000 members, in order to help them open doors or operate office equipment. (April 3)
“The biggest benefit I think is convenience,” said Patrick Mesterton, co-founder and CEO of Epicenter. As a demonstration, he unlocks a door by merely waving near it. “It basically replaces a lot of things you have, other communication devices, whether it be credit cards or keys.”
The technology in itself is not new. Such chips are used as virtual collar plates for pets. Companies use them to track deliveries. It’s just never been used to tag employees on a broad scale before. Epicenter and a handful of other companies are the first to make chip implants broadly available.
And as with most new technologies, it raises security and privacy issues. While biologically safe, the data generated by the chips can show how often an employee comes to work or what they buy. Unlike company swipe cards or smartphones, which can generate the same data, a person cannot easily separate themselves from the chip.
“Of course, putting things into your body is quite a big step to do and it was even for me at first,” said Mesterton, remembering how he initially had had doubts.
“But then on the other hand, I mean, people have been implanting things into their body, like pacemakers and stuff to control your heart,” he said. “That’s a way, way more serious thing than having a small chip that can actually communicate with devices.”
Epicenter, which is home to more than 100 companies and some 2,000 workers, began implanting workers in January 2015. Now, about 150 workers have them. A company based in Belgium also offers its employees such implants, and there are isolated cases around the world where tech enthusiasts have tried this out in recent years.
The small implants use Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, the same as in contactless credit cards or mobile payments. When activated by a reader a few centimeters (inches) away, a small amount of data flows between the two devices via electromagnetic waves. The implants are “passive,” meaning they contain information that other devices can read, but cannot read information themselves.
Ben Libberton, a microbiologist at Stockholm’s Karolinska Institute, says hackers could conceivably gain huge swathes of information from embedded microchips. The ethical dilemmas will become bigger the more sophisticated the microchips become.
“The data that you could possibly get from a chip that is embedded in your body is a lot different from the data that you can get from a smartphone,” he says. “Conceptually you could get data about your health, you could get data about your whereabouts, how often you’re working, how long you’re working, if you’re taking toilet breaks and things like that.”
Libberton said that if such data is collected, the big question remains of what happens to it, who uses it, and for what purpose.
So far, Epicenter’s group of cyborgs doesn’t seem too concerned.
“People ask me; ‘Are you chipped?’ and I say; ‘Yes, why not,'” said Fredric Kaijser, 47, the chief experience officer at Epicenter. “And they all get excited about privacy issues and what that means and so forth. And for me it’s just a matter of I like to try new things and just see it as more of an enabler and what that would bring into the future.”
The implants have become so popular that Epicenter workers stage monthly events where attendees have the option of being “chipped” for free.
That means visits from self-described “body hacker” Jowan Osterlund from Biohax Sweden who performs the “operation.”
He injects the implants — using pre-loaded syringes — into the fleshy area of the hand, just next to the thumb. The process lasts a few seconds, and more often than not there are no screams and barely a drop of blood. “The next step for electronics is to move into the body,” he says.
Sandra Haglof, 25, who works for Eventomatic, an events company that works with Epicenter, has had three piercings before, and her left hand barely shakes as Osterlund injects the small chip.
“I want to be part of the future,” she laughs.

RFID in Obamacare
http://www.onepoliticalplaza.com/t-8528-1.html
The truth is there is a huge smear campaign to hide the truth. The RFID chip that everyone is worried about is in Obamacare. It isnt labeled brilliantly that we are going to microchip the world that some people would like to think, but the wording and the ability to microchip everyone in America is in the final bill that passed and is now being implemented throughout the country. It is listed under a bio-metric tracking implant.
When the RFID chip was first announced, the Democratic Senators, House Members, and President all went out of their way to put millions of dollars out in an effort to say that anyone that thought it was in there was nuts. Even when liberal NBC predicted on live television that everyone would be microchipped by 2017, they received several smear campaigns. Even Snopes.com keeps updating their website to prove no such thing appears in the bill. We have to remember that these are the same people that say you can keep your insurance, premiums wouldnt increase, there are no death panels, and several lies when it came to their Affordable Healthcare Act (now known as Obamacare).
When the original wording came out, HR3200, it turns out that they indeed had means and wording to microchip the entire country within three years of its release.
“The page numbers and language cited in the example above were taken from HR 3200, an early House version of health care reform legislation which was never passed by Congress; passages cited from HR 3200 are therefore irrelevant.~Snopes.com”
They are correct. HR3200 didn’t pass, HR3962 did. This led to a startling prediction by NBC that everyone would be microchipped by 2017.
Turns out that HR3962 has the same things int it. It is an exact duplicate of HR3200 minus very few words concerning the RFID chip. They instead change the name to bio-metric device and bio-metric tracking.
So many point out that there was a reconciliation bill 4872 that all the fact check sites point out to try to debunk the HR3962 bill. The reconciliation bill was put into place when they could not agree on the funding for Obamacare. If you take a close look at HR4872, on page 1014 is the exact same wording as HR3962.
In it you find the wording for the implementation of the Class II medical device throughout the country. While it does not say everyone in the United States will be micro-chipped, it very well grants the government the ability to put a Class II medical transponder that is implanted under the skin.
That leads one to question if the transponder is the RFID chip.
Well, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) web site, it is. The patent has been out since around December 10, 2004, and they have been searching for a way to implement the system. So what is a Class II medical device? According to the FDA: an implantable radio frequncy transponder system for patient identification and health information. The link to the FDA.gov website is attached. The key word is implantable. They also have the implementation of RFID technology for storing vitals and tracking.
If you are worried about the grain of rice looking microchip, that seems to be a test run. The device you see on the internet measures glucose levels and even Snopes has to admit that it is being tested now.
They are also in artificial limbs, pacemakers, and breast implants to send real time data back to the doctor already.
With the banking information and the IRS also being in the bill that you can read, it will also include banking and purchasing information. There is also clauses to include the Medicade and Medicare fraud units that will propel the chip in a way to avoid system fraud.
It seems in a way what most people dont see is that there is also a version of the chip that has a lethal dose of cyanide. The Saudi inventor was looking at a way to improve on the RDIF technology. The patent was denied in Germany but the technology exists. With it if their slave or potentially a terrorist wandered off, it would inject a lethal dose of cyanide, thus eliminating the target.
This adds another layer of scary to an already scary bill. It is in the documentation that was signed off by the President. It has been predicted by NBC. It is on the FDA website. It is being tested as we speak. Please dont just take our word for it, look at the documentation and see for yourself.

It does have the part in it for RFID Chip but they disguised it as National Medical Device Registry”.
They have it worded in such a way that it takes thousands of words to just say, that we are being demanded as citizens of the united states to have by law this chip implanted in us.
“1502
•HR 3962 IH
1 (1) IN GENERAL.—Section 519 of the Federal
2 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360i) is
3 amended—
4 (A) by redesignating subsection (g) as sub5
section (h); and
6 (B) by inserting after subsection (f) the
7 following:
8 ”National Medical Device Registry
9 ”(g)(1)(A) The Secretary shall establish a national
10 medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as
11 the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety
12 and outcomes data on each covered device.
And this is just the beginning. See how they disguise the wording to not be able to find it? KEY WORDS…. INSERTING …… DEVICE ….. REGISTRY……class III device OR class II device {to be inserted}
When I downloaded the document then I searched for 1502 which looks , (I guess) as the page number or title of paragraph, but it goes on and on, you wouldn’t catch it if you didn’t keep reading.
Obamacare Page 1,004: You Must Have RFID Chip Implanted in Your Body
On Sunday March 21, 2010 the Senate Healthcare bill HR3200 [replaced by identical but more disguised HR 3962] was passed and signed into law the following Tuesday.
This new law requires an RFID chip implanted in all of us. This chip will not only contain your personal information with tracking capability but it will also be linked to your bank account. And get this, Page 1004 of the new law (dictating the timing of this chip), reads, and I quote: “Not later than 36 months after the date of the enactment”.It is now the law of the land that by March 23rd 2013 we will all be required to have an RFID chip underneath our skin and this chip will be link to our bank accounts as well as have our personal records and tracking capability built into it.
In just a minute I’m going to show you the black and white of the law itself and you can see it with your own eyes and wonder why an event of this magnitude which is nothing less than seismic in nature is met with little more than silence in the Christian community.
Is it now starting to dawn on you just where exactly we are in prophecy? I’ll ask that question again in a minute and follow up on it, but now I want to show you the law itself. I’ve downloaded a PDF copy of HR3200 from the government’s website so what I’m about to show you is from the bill itself its nothing that I’ve written. You can access it all and see it all for yourself straight from the source itself.
H.R. 3200 section 2521, Pg. 1001, paragraph 1.
The Secretary shall establish a national medical device registry (in this subsection referred to as the ‘registry’) to facilitate analysis of postmarket safety and outcomes data on each device that— ‘‘is or has been used in or on a patient; ‘‘and is— ‘‘a class III device; or ‘‘a class II device that is implantable, life-supporting, or life-sustaining.”
What exactly is a class II device that is implantable? As you saw earlier, it is the device approved by the FDA in 2004.
