Microchips to be planted in old people
A Palm Beach, Fla. Alzheimer’s patient being fitted with a VeriChip device.
Reader Ana shared this tantilizing little news item with us in a comment on a post… don’t know how a story of this kind slipped by us in the first place but we’ll chalk it up to the same corporate-congressional conspiracy that keeps us from winning the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. Anywho, looks like a company in Florida has gotten the ingenious idea to start planted microchips into old people who also have Alzheimer’s, because why the hell not? Alzheimer’s patients aren’t exactly the most tenacious bunch of folks on the planet, so who better to start implanting these things in?
Up to 200 Alzheimer’s patients living near Palm Beach, Fla., will be implanted with the VeriChip for free in the next week.
The chip, which is about the size of a grain of rice, contains a 16-digit identification number which is scanned at a hospital. Once the number is placed in a database, it can provide crucial medical information.
Installation of this mind control device is free as part of the pilot program being launched in Palm Beach. Palm Beach! The very same place that played such a large roll in the outcome of the hotly contested presidential election of 2000. Coincidence? Oh ho, we think not.
