I watched the video clip you put on and it was good other than the commentary. Who did? He made it like a Christian movie. *lame*

I was surprised that the fox boys were on those things like white on rice? I thought they would be more anti-chip technology.

Did you follow the link to globalchange.com? I have been following Patrick Dixon for a few years now and he is definitely going to be one of the voices leading the implementation of chip technology.

THIS VIDEO?
http://www.lonelantern.org/downloads/Alex%20Jones%20-%20The%20Microchip%20-Excellent!.wmv

The guy's name is Alex Jones.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Jones_%28journalist%29

The only clear "Christian" reference was from the BOOK OF REVELATION right at the END of the 10 minute documentary clip.

The FOX boys? Huh? If we're talking about the same video, it was clearly critical of the NWO's population chipping / surveillance / MATRIX / absolute control etc. global agenda

That was a good part of why the piece was put together: to revealtheir agenda & its implications on our freedom & privacy.

Patrick Dixon, yes ... visited the site. Watched one of his "lectures". Creepy Orwellian stuff. Only if i was company shareholder, or a governmental / military control freak would i be excited & supportive of any such Big Brother techology.

What I meant is that it was lame like a Christian movies. Most of the Christian movies on the rapture or the number of the beast are done in this context. A lot of it is based upon fear. The anti-Christ rising up, all governments and authority will fall under his rule. Everyone will be in fear.

Not so. The church of Christ will reign in the spiritual realms and be full of glory and power. The anti-Christ and his rise is only a defensive measure against the things of God. The church continues to plunder the gates of hell and we are so close to the release of Revelations.

A lot of Christian movies portray a conspiracy and government is out to control us. You might believe this IGG, but I believe most people are deceived by pride, greed and lust and building the system because of their own selfish desires. People are not smart enough to form this level of conspiracy on their own will. They are only fooled by their own selfish desires and in the end build the system because of it.

A lot like the Matrix. People are living in the matrix because they like it. I am sure you have watched the matrix right? Well the only way out of the matrix is the blue pill. You want out, then you have to take the blue pill and that pill is Christ.

While i feel this thread steering somwehat off topic, the Jesus angle is interesting all the same.

He claimed ( likely on more than one recorded scriptural occasion )

"Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world."

JC.

Scientist Invents 'Computer Pillow' To Stop Snoring
Wed Oct 3, 2:14 PM ET

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German scientist has come up with a solution for snoring -- a computerized pillow that shifts the head's sleeping position until the noise stops.

Daryoush Bazargani, professor of computer science at the University of Rostock and the pillow's inventor, was displaying a prototype of his pillow at a health conference in Germany on Wednesday.

"The pillow is attached to a computer, which is the size of a book, rests on a bedside table, and analyses snoring noises," Bazargani told Reuters.

"The computer then reduces or enlarges air compartments within the pillow to facilitate nasal airflow to minimize snoring as the user shifts during sleep," he said.

The ergonomic pillow can also be used for neck massages.

Bazargani said several U.S. firms were interested in manufacturing the pillow.

"I invented it because I snore," he said. "I tried all sorts of products, but nothing worked. I hope people who use it will sleep more peacefully."

Think about it. Doesn't call for too much imagination or creativity.

Shopping Cart Goes High-Tech
Tue Oct 9, 3:40 PM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - Supermarket shoppers may soon be cruising the aisles with "intelligent" shopping carts that warn them if they're buying too much junk food ... technology experts say.

While many would be happy enough if they could simply get their trolley to go in a straight line, the high-tech model will be fitted with a computer screen and barcode scanner.

It will read each product's individual code to give customers information about calories, nutrition, ethical sourcing and the environment.

U.S. technology services company EDS outlined the concept in a study paper published this week.

It said the screens would reduce the need for lots of packaging for food, helping stores to tackle environmental concerns.

"Shoppers want barcode readers on their trolleys (shopping carts) to calculate the nutritional content and tell them when they have blown their calorific budget," said EDS's Sion Roberts, director of consumer industries and retail.

"It's high-time that the humble barcode is recognized as a practical and cost-effective solution to consumers' thirst for information."

Research carried out by food industry body IGD on behalf of EDS found that a third of shoppers want barcode scanners fitted to their carts.

Most prefer to get information from labels on the food, according to the survey of nearly 1,000 people.

Some shoppers are already using advanced carts.

Trials of touch-screen computers on shopping carts have been trialed in stores in the U.S.
