The Cobra GPS100 Global Positioning System is Being Used To Normalize Being Tracked By The Government.

The GPS movement is alive and well with the release of the Cobra gps100 Global Positioning System.

This is a hand held device, meant to assist hunters and other sportsmen, promising to keep them from getting lost.

For fishermen, the unit is advertised to float and still work after being submerged up to an hour.

The best part is that for the general public, this product is priced to sell at an average of $120 on the internet.

It seems as though GPS companies want to get these into the hands of every man, woman, and child in America.

But perhaps they aren’t the only one with such goals.

Products such as the Cobra gps100 Global Positioning System may be the first wave of a far more nefarious plot.

To the average citizen, being able to get your bearings in the woods, or on the road with a Garmin, is not part of an evil scheme.

But there is a growing group of voices that understand that this is desensitizing the public to the next step, the RFID chip.

How Does It Work?

What You Need to Know About RFID

Radio Frequency Identification, or the VeriChip as it is sometimes called, is a GPS tracking device that is already in use in some applications.

The process of integration is subtle. Some of the first systems to use this technology are pharmaceutical companies that want to prevent theft of high level narcotics such as OxyContin.

Promising to replace the barcode, libraries have begun using RFID in books to be able to prevent them from being stolen.

In 2005, Walmart began requiring all shipments to and from their distribution hubs to be tracked using the VeriChip.

If You Market It, People Would Buy Their Own Waste

Now with the mass marketing of devices like Garmin and the Cobra gps100 Global Positioning System, the masses are being brought on board the new wave of GPS.

And because it is advertised to help our lives and keep us from being eaten by Grizzly bears, most people don’t understand the corollary that if you now where you are, “they” know where you are also.

One could argue that the Cobra gps100 Global Positioning System does not have an RFID chip installed, and this is true.

But the first step to normalizing anything new is to take away the hostility and controversy surrounding it.

If the federal government were to require that every human in America be tracked by a device like VeriChip, there would be open revolt in the streets.

But items like the Cobra are allowing even the most conservatives Americans like most sportsmen to get on board with the new technology.

The slippery slope has become subtle. New cars come with OnStar that use the marketing ploy that this product protects you when you are incapacitated in the event of an accident.

In 2006, several nations including the United States use RFID in their passports.

And now, people can use handheld tracking devices to keep from getting lost. Unfortunately, these are all also subtle ways for you to be tracked also.

The federal government doesn’t need to require us to embed microchips in our flesh, they can get Walmart to sell them to us cheaply.
