Forced Injected Microchips For Homeless

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Thursday that it was about to begin testing a new technology designed to help more closely monitor and assist the nation's homeless population.Under the pilot program, which grew out of a series of policy academies held in the last two years, homeless people in participating cities will be implanted with mandatory Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags that social workers and police can use track their movements.
WASHINGTON (UPI) -- The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said Thursday that it was about to begin testing a new technology designed to help more closely monitor and assist the nation's homeless population.Under the pilot program, which grew out of a series of policy academies held in the last two years, homeless people in participating cities will be implanted with mandatory Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags that social workers and police can use track their movements.
The RFID technology was developed by HHS' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) in partnership with five states, including California and New York. "This is a rare opportunity to use advanced technology to meet society's dual objectives of better serving our homeless population while making our cities safer," HRSA Administrator Betty James Duke said.
The miniscule RFID tags are no larger than a matchstick and will be implanted subdermally, meaning under the skin. Data from RFID tracking stations mounted on telephone poles will be transmitted to police and social service workers, who will use custom Windows NT software to track movements of the homeless in real time.In what has become a chronic social problem, people living in shelters and on the streets do not seek adequate medical care and frequently contribute to the rising crime rate in major cities.
Supporters of subdermal RFID tracking say the technology will discourage implanted homeless men and women from committing crimes, while making it easier for government workers to provide social services such as delivering food and medicine.Duke called the RFID tagging pilot program "a high-tech, minimally-intrusive way for the government to lift our citizens away from the twin perils of poverty and crime." Participating cities include New York City, San Francisco, Washington, and Bethlehem, Penn.
Participating states will receive grants of $14 million to $58 million from the federal Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) program, which was created under the McKinney Act to fund support services for the homeless. A second phase of the project, scheduled to be completed in early 2005, will wirelessly transmit live information on the locations of homeless people to handheld computers running the Windows CE operating system.A spokesman for the National Coalition for the Homeless, which estimates that there are between 2.3 million and 3.5 million people experiencing homelessness nationwide, said the pilot program could be easily abused.
"We have expressed our tentative support for the idea to HRSA, but only if it includes privacy safeguards," the spokesman said. "So far it's unclear whether those safeguards will actually be in place by roll-out."Chris Hoofnagle, deputy director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said the mandatory RFID program would be vulnerable to a legal challenge. "It is a glaring violation of the Tenth Amendment, which says that powers not awarded to the government are reserved to the people, and homeless people have just as many Tenth Amendment rights as everyone else," said Hoofnagle, who is speaking about homeless privacy at this month's Computers Freedom and Privacy conference in Berkeley, Calif.
While HRSA's program appears to be the first to forcibly implant humans with RFID tags, the technology is becoming more widely adopted as retailers use it to track goods. Wal-Mart Stores said last year that it will require its top 100 suppliers to place RFID tags on shipping crates and pallets by January 2005.Copyright © 2001-2004 United Press International

I disagree with the government about implanting RFID into the homeless. Once we allow this to happen, who is to stop them from implanting the same devices in newborns of a certain race, or seniors citizens since they are living longer and claim there is no money in Social Security. This is becoming a Big Brother nation, not remaining a democracy. Who says the government has any right to track anyone? This is suppose to be a free country, but it is turning into something else. People need to step back and see what the government is truly doing to them before it is to late. One good example Pres Bush stole the presidency, the people didn't elect him, one man one vote was discarded. People YOU NEED TO WAKE UP AND TAKE A STAND.

I was under the impression that this was an April Fools story -- but sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. It would be great if someone could do some work to see if this is, in fact, a true story.

Even if this article is not true the beast gov is planning to track us all. False CONservatives such as sean hannity and globalist pundits like andy rooney have been pimping the idea of injecting us all with chips. If your not a terrorist you have nothing to hide right? WRONG! Resist resist resist. Never give up your guns.

I new about all this stuff years ago. I told people about it, and they tough I became crazy.
I was investigating about every government and religious movement. And I came to realize that what the bible says is true. The bible is the bookk of God, writed by Man, but not any human, but the God's cildren.

Let's face it! The mark of the beast is coming and people should be prepared for it! They must not accept the mark, since it'll be a one-way trip to Hell! This is the ultimate in undermining freedom and privacy! This is the Book of Revelation come to life! The Government must resist any thoughts of implementing this program!
Disgusted!!!

This is just rediculous!!! The fact that these people are homeless should not make them less human!!! How can you force them to have something implanted in their bodies!!! Who are you? Homeless people are not animals that need to be tracked if they should get lost!!! They should still have the right to not be implanted, afterall, you do not own their bodies, they do!!! What kind of sick joke is this!!! I am outraged!!! I don't care how much crime comes from them, or what ever the next excuse will be to implant them, this is not right, and you have no power over some one else's body!!! This is a violation of human rights, not just American rights!!! This is as sick as it gets folks, next they will implant every one, but then again, that is what the Bible talks about when God said they shall take a "mark"!!! I'm not homeless, but even if I was, I would die before getting that implanted into MY body!!! You seem to have forgotten that part!!! That these people have rights too, not only as Americans, but as HUMAN BEINGS!!! This has got to stop!!!

You know, it takes about 5 minutes of Google Search to figure out this is a hoax.
You Fundy Xians with your blather about Revelations and the Mark of the Beast are laughable. Xian extremists of one idiotic stripe or another have been declaring "These Days are the End Days" since the time of the Council of Nicea-- DO YOUR HOMEWORK! STUDY YOUR OWN HISTORY! There aren't any "end days", and your Zippy The Pinhead prophecy assumptions show the rest of us how pigheaded ignorant you swine really are. You've been wrong for 1700+ years, and you're STILL wrong today.
Jesus died for his own sins. Not mine.
Have a nice day.

If this is any indication of what to expect from a Christian government, count me out. Ignorance and illiteracy is not my style.
Get a brain people this is bull crap, there is no implantation of microchips. This is an April fool's joke, Walter Five was correct anyone with half a brain and doing a search would have found this out, it took me less than two minutes to find this website with a search.
