CIt is the name of the company that will produce, for Gillette, passive chips capable of responding to a microwave signal emitted by a detector located up to five meters away. These objects will be "the size of a grain of sand."
The dimension of such chips: 100 microns.
A micron represents one thousandth of a millimeter. A chip with a diameter of one hundred microns is therefore a chip... of one-tenth of a millimeter,
which is...
not visible to the naked eye.
The information stored in the chip will be recorded on 64 bits.
This is not a joke. Visit the company's website:

At the beginning of January 2005, Gillette announced that chips capable of transmitting information would equip 500 million razors. But why mark such a cheap item as a razor? Officially, it's for inventory management. But that's nonsense. In supermarkets, cashiers pass packages through barcode scanners. The store's computer is therefore informed every time someone buys a razor pack. It obviously cannot account for razors that might be stolen. But in terms of inventory, theft—especially for such low-value items—does not have critical importance. For ordering purposes, the store can rely on the number of razors sold, whose packaging was actually detected during checkout. The explanation given by Gillette is entirely inconsistent.
We already knew that the technology used—RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Devices)—had existed for years, particularly developed by the Auto-ID Center, a laboratory located at the heart of MIT, the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology. These researches were partly funded by Gillette, Philip Morris, and Procter & Gamble. Produced in quantities of 500 million, these chips would cost 25 cents each, but at ten billion units, the price would drop to five cents each.
Anyway, as with all computer-based production, these objects have no value other than the cost of the research undertaken to produce them and the cost of the machines that assemble them, using a technology similar to that used to create microprocessors. When RFID usage becomes widespread worldwide across countless products that can thus be tracked, along with their owners, evaluating their price will make little sense.
The choice of an object like a razor is not innocent. It is a personal item, like a toothbrush. The political-industrial giant is thus conducting a psychological test: will citizens accept, without protest, going home with an object that is part of their private, intimate life, one that allows them to be tracked, and detected wherever a detector system is present?
Consumers have been told that if they request it, the store can destroy the chip at checkout. But it is expected that people will quickly lose this reflex. And this is very likely what will happen.
This is just the first stage. We are supposed to implant chips in objects that only send back the equivalent of a barcode signal to the detector. Second-generation chip technology is already fully operational. These are chips equipped with RAM, "writable." When humans are equipped with such writable chips (which, incidentally, cannot be accessed by just anyone—passwords will be required to access the information they hold), they will carry around information about their identity, particularly their nationality, background, criminal record, travel history, anything at all. You've witnessed the implosion of computer memory. You've seen ever-increasing amounts of data being stored on ever-smaller supports! Unbeknownst to people, their razors will be equipped with rewritable chips that can be queried during entries into banks, airports. A razor is an object you travel with. This choice is far from innocent.
Afterward, all that will be needed is to emphasize the security aspect:
- If you have nothing to hide, what's the problem?
Before moving to intra-corporeal implantation, you can easily imagine that if a chip measuring one-tenth of a millimeter can be placed inside a razor handle, the same can be done in a comb, a hairbrush, eyeglass frames, a piece of jewelry, a dental filling, and of course in your identity documents. Identity cards with memory that, when queried, will indicate the thousands of places you've visited, with dates and times, all recorded. Your "traceability" will become total.
- Where's the problem if you have nothing to hide? a reader wrote to me.
The technological threshold has long been crossed. It doesn't take much imagination to envision the uses that could be made of such systems, which are also discreet and unobtrusive. Remember the actress's line in the video promoting the Verichip's virtues:
- It leaves no scar, no trace.
What I've been insisting on for weeks is that this chip, the size of a grain of rice, is utterly crude. It's truly "the hand-soldered transistor" compared to microprocessor-style technology. In the Verichip, components are visible to the naked eye. Could you identify the components of a microprocessor in the same way? Of course not.
You've seen that these chips from Alien Technology measure one-tenth of a millimeter. It is therefore perfectly possible to have them ingested by placing them in a salt shaker or a packet of powdered sugar. It's even possible to arrange for such chips to embed themselves somewhere inside your body.
Read these lines. It's completely feasible.
Our society is undergoing a total transformation with the emergence of these new technologies. One might think of "security," imagining that it will no longer be possible for just anyone to rob a bank or carry out a terrorist attack. But it will go much further than that. The climate of terrorism perfectly serves those who want to mark people like livestock, like "the mark of the beast." All of this is already underway, and in the end, you can no longer do anything about it. The entire planet is walking on its head. The leaders have completely lost their minds. We've reached the stage described by Ziegler in his book "The Empire of Shame," where our last defense against collective madness would be what he calls:
the insurrection of consciences
We can always dream...
When will people finally understand that Americans possess the technology to implant a writable chip measuring one-tenth of a millimeter in diameter inside a human...
