Nanochips in Soldiers

The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (D.A.R.P.A.) has announced plans to create nanochips for monitoring troops health on the battlefield. As you might have guessed, this plan has raised a little bit of controversy with the fear that this could turn the Earth into the likes of such movies like "Total Recall".

The sensors would be injected into soldiers and aim preventing illness and disease.  It would be more effective to track them if they got lost. Though it seems like a simple and efficient way to keep soldiers alive and healthy, a number of opponents have come out the woodwork claiming this could be the beginning of computer chips for everyone. The question is, how long will it take governments and big pharma to immerse nano-microchips inside of vaccines to tag and surveil global populations?

All these nano technological advances raise many issues and concerns about the toxicity and environmental impact of nano materials, and their potential effects on medicine, global economics, as well as speculation about government surveillance.

In the popular video game series Metal Gear Solid, many characters and soldiers in general, have "nano machines" in their bloodstream, and are used to block pain, allow members of fire teams/patrols to share sensory information, heal bodily damage, as well as manipulating viruses central to video game's plot line.

Through the use of special effects and computer-generated imagery, several blockbusters including The Matrix Trilogy and The Day the Earth Stood Still, have dramatized how nanobots could effectively take control of their organic and inorganic targets. Regardless of the recurring themes of nanobots in video games, sci-fi shows and movies, nanotechnology is a reality, and nano-microchips are well on their way to being utilized in ways which may be detrimental to human health and freedom on a global scale. Are we simply being conditioned for it? Through video games and movies alike?

The development of nano-microchips are a major thrust of governments and pharmaceutical industries who want the ultimate power and leverage over global populations for more profit and more control. Although nanotechnology manufacturing is currently available on a global scale, before biotech companies are able to initiate mass production and testing of nano-microchips inside of vaccines, they will likely sell the idea to the public. Through various "health enhancement scenarios" they will encourage participation and publicly announce regulatory approval from the same policies and regulatory agencies they helped create. When our brain functions are already connected to supercomputers by means of radio implants and microchips, it will be too late for protest. Think about it nanochips in soldiers today, nanochips in you tomorrow...
