The Mark: Scientist Claims Human Microchip Implants Will Become "Not Optional"
They will have to physically force this on me. Hell, I won't even use a GPS and my cell phone is older than dirt.
While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
The fact that this website is claiming that cell phones are a form of enslavement should be a huge tipoff that the entire site is nonsense. Disregard.
If you want to know what Mark Gasson ACTUALLY said on this matter, you can watch his full TEDx speech here:

At risk of the accusation of paranoia, there is really nothing standing in the way of the current U.S. Administration's implanting devices into anyone it wants to monitor, without their knowledge or consent, right now.
Under Obamacare, doubly so.
The doctor in charge of your chart would certainly be an obstacle, but the government can bring an incredible amount of coercive pressure to bear, particularly on someone who's an upstanding professional with a well-established life, career and family.
So yes, as JLC said, unless there's a catastrophic collapse of technology (virtually impossible,) the only choice we have in this matter is to reclaim the people intellectually, and end Gangster Government via an intellectual sea change.
Given decades of the Republican "leadership" conceding to militant collectivists the education of generations of Americans, and given that educational corruption's metastasizing under Communist Core, the outlook looks pretty grim, at least for the better part of this coming century.
On that note, some cathartic rock 'n' roll from Mr. Rundgren and the boys:

I shouldn’t be able to draw a line for what I consider the sanctity of my personal space? I believe this is an alienable right.
To me a debit/credit card is like a hat. When I want do business I put it on my hat and wear it in public. But that is NOT who I am.
I kid, I kid. But seriously, paper money can lose its value, too. Granted, that happens for the currency itself, rather than for an individual person, but it's still an inevitability for any currency not backed by gold.
And like I said before, you can circumvent your bank account being frozen by utilizing alternative currencies under hidden accounts which exist outside the official banking system. Of course, this limits your purchasing power to retailers which accept the particular currency you happen to be using, but the ability to engage in commerce is still there, albeit severely limited.
Plus you could also potentially open new bank accounts in the official "government sanctioned" system under a new name, and convert your alternative currencies back into the official currency, possibly by funneling them through a proxy corporation of some kind.
No matter what kind of restrictions the government puts in place, the black market always finds a way around them.
There was another story a little while ago about how some Socialist groups in Sweden tried to push for a guaranteed income for all Swedish citizens, but the measure was ultimately rejected by the public.
Just because some group petitions an idea, that doesn't automatically mean it's going to be implemented.
That's my own personal experience. I'll see if I can find something more than my word to qualify it for you.

Please remember I'm a sci-fi author. I'm not technophobic in the least. I'm just extraordinarily distrustful of mankind and their ability to leave me alone to pursue my happiness (as I'm entitled to via the US Constitution).
You say that there is possible cheating and control with a credit/debit card, and that's true, but there has always been possible cheating and control with any form of money for as long as money has existed. That's not something new.
In ancient times, tyrannical governments would often require people to get special tattoos before they were permitted to buy or sell in the public market. THAT'S what the Biblical "Mark of the Beast" refers to. People need to stop thinking these ancient texts predict the future. They don't. They're not about our day and age, they're about about the day and age in which they were written.
