Cyber experts slammed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for his proposal to 'microchip children who return to schools and kindergartens as the coronavirus lockdown is lifted, Ynet reported on Friday.
I believe that Benjamin Netanyahu is a good man, and certainly God's man to be leading Israel in these end times, but I want to draw your attention to a really wacky thing he said these week about lifting the COVID-19 lockdown in Israel. He said that all children returning to school should receive a microchip to serve as a coronavirus warning system. That's crazy, but he said it, and there it is. Now let me tell you the really scary thing you need to know about that.
"And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Revelation 13:16-18 (KJB)
Benjamin Netanyahu's suggestion may have been shot down in Israel, and rightly so, but that is
exactly what
Bill Gates and the
ID2020 Alliance envision not just for school children, but for the entire global population. Just as 9/11 was used as an excuse to deny American freedoms
via the Patriot Act, so COVID-19 will be used as an excuse to give every, single person on earth a digital ID that will connect to a global database. Bill Gates is so sure this is coming, he is
betting his entire fortune to make it happen. Pray for Benjamin Netanyahu, he needs it.
Benjamin Netanyahu suggests microchipping kids, slammed by experts
FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: While speaking at a press conference on Monday, Benjamin Netanyahu suggested the Health Ministry use new technology to help Israel adjust to its new routine as the state is lifting the coronavirus lockdown. "That is, technology that has not been used before and is allowed under the legislation we shall enact," he clarified.
"I spoke with our heads of technology in order to find measures Israel is good at, such as sensors. For instance, every person, every kid – I want it on kids first – would have a sensor that would sound an alarm when you get too close, like the ones on cars," prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said.
"It will be hard to do it to more than a million schoolchildren who return to their educational institutions in order to ensure one student sits at the distance of two meters from another. It is fictional and dangerous," cyber resilience expert Einat Meron told Ynet.
"Theoretically, I get the idea behind it," she said. "But although such distance-sensitive microchips exist in vehicles, it is different in humans." According to Meron, "a beeping sound telling me I got close to someone is not enough. Who says it will change anything? I would have gotten closer either way."
The expert added that "the actual issue is the enforcement, and here everything changes." Meron told Ynet that "microchipping children will not pass any test – both practically and legally." Similar to Meron's notion that notifying citizens on their distance will not affect their actions, many fear the state would make use of the information available from the sensors.
"If the information with the kids' location is uploaded to the internet, a pedophile with some cyber knowledge may invade the system and stalk them outside their schools, follow them and distribute the information on other platforms," Meron said. "Can the state take responsibility for that?"
The Prime Minister's Office responded to the report, telling Ynet Netanyahu's suggestion "is not to be implemented through databases, but through simple technology notifying [the citizens] about their distance. It is a voluntary option that is designed to help children keep their distance, like Mobileye with vehicles."
The office added that the prime minister's suggestion is "an idea that may help maintain social distancing, and there will not be any violation of privacy."
On Wednesday, Walla reported the movements of all vehicles in Israel were tracked by police and stored in an unregulated database named Eagle Eye. A source cited by the media site said the information "may be kept for years on end."
The Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) reportedly submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act that police disclose the extent of the operations of Eagle Eye, as well as the time the information on citizens' movements is stored in the system.
Israel Police responded to ACRI, saying the system's activity was not standardized internally despite several years of operations. "Either way, once finalized, the procedure will not be disclosed to the public," police added. In late March, Yediot Aharonot reported a classified Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) database stored information on all Israeli citizens and most Palestinians from the West Bank. The data tracked by the security agency included movements, phone calls and text messages.
