U.S. Navy Establishing Policies On Implant Technology

Mr Istvan claims a growing number of people are having microchip implants (like the one pictured) placed under their skin. Most are RFID chips similar to those found inside contactless bank cards, but Mr Istvan believes children should be given GPS implants to help keep them safe.

[From article]
Most of us carry a tracking device around with us every day in the form of the mobile phones, but some people are going further and having microchips embedded in their bodies.
Now the US Navy has grown so concerned over the practice that is drawing up an official policy to help it deal with personnel who have chips implanted.
Officials consulted with American presidential candidate and 'transhumanist' Zoltan Istvan to discuss the implications of fitting humans with microchips to enhance their powers.
The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency is already working on microchips that can be implanted into soldiers' brains to make them more resilient to warfare.
But according to Mr Istvan, the military is also concerned about unauthorised technology that their personnel may implant themselves.
He told MailOnline: 'The Navy is struggling to create policy around solider or sailors that enter military service with non-authorised chips embedded in them.
'This makes perfect sense since the tech has grown so small, that chip implants can now do a wide range of things - tracking, making payments, monitoring blood flow and bodily health - and be totally hidden in human beings.



'You can imagine how challenging that would be if someone had a non-authorized chip implant on a nuclear base - so policy has to be created and created soon.'
The meeting was held between Mr Istvan and senior members of the Chief of Naval Operations Strategic Studies Group, which investigates new concepts of warfare.
A letter from Vice Admiral James Wisecup, who is director of the group, told Mr Istvan: 'Your comments broadened our understanding of transhumanism and the merger of humans and machines.
'Your personal perspectives were interesting and timely as we begin our research process. You have had a direct impact on our viewpoints for future concepts.'
Mr Istvan believes that technology could be used to give humans immortality by augmenting our bodies with technology.

US Mideast Policy Needs Scrutiny

[From article]
"How about bombing the bad guys and then staying clear? We just did that to the terrorist-friendly Khadafy dictatorship in Libya. But now that Khadafy is gone, Islamic gangs torture and execute black Africans who supported the deposed regime. British World War II cemeteries that were honored during 70 years of Libyan kings and dictators were ransacked in a “free” Libya.
[. . .]
It even appears likely that we will keep sending Egypt annual subsidies of more than $1.5 billion — as we have for more than 30 years. Yet anti-American Islamists now dominate Egyptian politics.
[. . .]
It’s still a crime to publicly practice Christianity in Saudi Arabia. Fifteen of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. Mideast oil costs less than $5 a barrel to produce; it sells for more than $100, largely due to the policies of our allies and OPEC members.

US Protects Only Some People

[From article]
"If we have a "responsibility to protect" the people of Libya, who are dying by the thousands, how can that same re sponsibility not apply to our southern neighbor, where the war between the drug lords and the government has killed nearly 40,000 people and is even producing mass graves?
[. . .]
the Mexican state of Durango, bringing the total there to 218 dumped bodies and surpassing Tamaulipas state, where "only" 183 bodies were found in mass graves last month.
[. . .]
300 drug-related deaths a week, complete with grotesque hangings, mass graves and more gore than a Quentin Tarantino movie.
[. . .]
Obama declared, "When our interests and values are at stake, we have a responsibility to act."
[. . .]
the elusive "Responsibility to Protect" concept."
