“If I were empress of the Universe I would insist on every individual having a unique ID permanently attached - a barcode if you will; an implanted chip to provide an easy, fast inexpensive way to identify individuals.

It would be imprinted on everyone at birth. Point the scanner at someone and there it is.

Having such a unique barcode would have many advantages. In war soldiers could easily differentiate legitimate targets in a population from non combatants.

This could prevent mistakes in identity, mistakes that result in the deaths of innocent bystanders. Weapons systems would record the code of the use, identifying how fired which shot and leading to more accountability in the field.

Anonymity would be impossible as would mistaken identity making it easier to place responsibility accurately, not only in war but also in non-combat situations far from the war.”

On September 11, 2010, she wrote a blog entry "Citizenship" about assimilation and an Islamic group that wanted to build a memorial center at/near the site of the 9/11 attack, which was "perceived by many as derogatory toward Muslims and immigrants."

Lobotomy? Fuck that - you finally found your wife.

Interesting...

...reading others' slants on her individual chipping ideas, it seems Moon is not only a Malthusian population control advocate but she's a global warming alarmist, too.

Wonder how she politically describes herself?

The National Socialists used to tattoo concentration camp prisoners with five digit Hollerith numbers to identify them using a punch card system developed by IBM...

...perhaps Universal Socialist fits Moon truly well.

A sci-fi writer espouses an idea that's been around for thousands of years, and you think this person has God's ear.

Revelation 13:16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,

Revelation 13:17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Yes, it's the Mark of the Beast. Take it, don't fight it.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the Dark Lord Antichrist
He is humorous, and handsome, and He isn't very nice
We'll get along just fine if you don't make Him tell you twice
Apocalypse today!

Gory, gory Armageddon
Gory, gory Armageddon
Gory, gory Armageddon
Apocalypse today!

It's really most annoying, with the rains of flaming pitch
And the things that bite, and things that burn, and things that sting and itch
But, oh, that Whore of Babylon's a lusty, royal bitch!
Apocalypse today!

[chorus]

It's really most confusing, with the Horsemen in the skies
And the seven plagues, and seven seals, and lambs with seven eyes
But, we get no fun from Jesus, so bring on the Prince of Lies!
Apocalypse today!

[chorus]

Oh look, it's that schtick again.

Oh look, it's that schtick again.

A squirrel family of Nazi sympathizers?

That's just nuts...
