Masonic CHIP Program-No Microchips?
Lately I have been hearing about freemasons implanting microchips in children and decided to look into it for myself. What I found is not necessarily a big conspiracy, but a subject worth looking into nevertheless. The freemasons developed the CHIP program in 1988, this program provides parents with an identification kit for their children. When advertising their program the masons list the missing children statistics for the United States as a compelling reason for parents to have the CHIP kit completed for their child. With about 800,000 missing children cases each year, no one can really blame the parents for acting immediately to take precautions concerning their child's safety. The freemason lodges organise the entire program utilizing the help of local dentists and police officers who volunteer to help.
The kit includes fingerprinting, a dental impression, a DNA sample, video recording of the child and possibly a retina scan. It is important to note here that the masons do clearly state that no information is retained by freemasons or law enforcement. The ID kit and all associated materials are given to the parents. Freemason lodges across the country are providing this kit to parents free of charge and also have been known to stage fairs to attract families to the charitable function. Since it's inception, hundreds of thousands of children have been through this process and had an ID kit produced for them by the masons, an organization sworn to secrecy lest their throat or stomach be cut open.
A frequent accusation among conspiracy theorists, anti-mason groups, and the generally paranoid is that the freemasons are implanting an actual microchip inside the bodies of the children. I have found no evidence of this as of yet and personally I am inclined to believe this is not occurring at all. There does exist, however, an actual microchip that is made to be implanted within the bodies of people and there are people who have indeed received this chip called a RFID microchip. We all know that dogs can be chipped and used to locate a pet when it has gone missing. One woman was interviewed by the mainstream media some years ago during which she explains why she chose to have her child "chipped"-for fear of a kidnapping or abduction. I have found no information suggesting that American freemasons are implanting microchips in children all over the country.
At face value I don't see this program as a particularly bad one or anything worth creating an outlandish conspiracy theory over, but the CHIP program has created some controversy and there are a few reasonable questions and concerns about a "secret society" having any involvement whatsoever with children's personal information or security.
The first issue is the acronym itself. Conspiracy theorists have been raging about this new RFID microchip to be implanted underneath our skin via hypodermic needle for years. Both the microchip and the freemasons have long been associated with the New World Order theories. Wether the freemasons really have anything to do with a conspiracy or not, they would at least certainly be aware of the fact that their organization has long been rumored to be involved with it. Knowing this, why would the masons imagine an acronym to represent their program (dealing with hundreds of thousands of children) to spell out CHIP? The coincidence is mind boggling and only serves to fuel the conspiracy gurus. Could they have found another acronym? Of course they could. Did they decide on the acronym "CHIP" to deliberately cause controversy, to mock the conspiracy theorists? Is there perhaps a sliver of truth within the conspiracy theorists claims? Or is it all complete coincidence? I don't know.
Next, I ask why the freemasons, whose background, intentions and reputation are nothing less than questionable should be running such a program. It seems to require only simple and easily attainable materials and resources to compile the ID kit. If I wanted to have a kit made for my child I don't doubt that I could easily do so on my own without the assistance of freemasons. I would prefer not to take any risks with the information that makes up the kit by not allowing anyone other than myself to ever have any involvement in it. If the freemasons want to be charitable that's fine, they can mail the free package containing the necessary materials and instructions to the residence of anyone interested.
Finally, lets consider the statistics of missing/kidnapped children. The first thing to note here is that not all missing children reports are actually kidnappings. According to the United States Department of Justice, "family kidnapping" makes up 49% of all juvenile kidnapping. Kidnapping makes up less than 2 percent of all violent crimes against juveniles reported to police. The freemasons fail mention this figure, which brings the number of about 800,000 down to about 16,000. This is still a very high figure of course, 1 would be too many as far as I am concerned. The point here however is that the freemasons may be using a bit of propaganda to strike fear in the hearts of parents, to sell the need for better security. When the mainstream news covers missing children they seem to give it higher priority than any other news in the world, dedicating most of the day's air time to a missing child. This creates fear and panic among the people and overshadows other pressing news encouraging ignorance. When the people are afraid and don't know what to do they will ask their government what to do. The government does not always do the right thing.

Well I have to say your slant is interesting and your take on it belies a modicum of intelligence. The Masonic CHIP program is a just short for Child ID. Nobody is forced to go to one of these events. I have brought my own children to an event just like it in my area, but sponsored by the county Sheriff not the Freemasons. But if it were a Masonic CHIP event I still would’ve gone.
The reason the kit cannot be mailed to a parent is because it takes a computer setup to produce the portable info disk that is given to the parents. Why is this important? Because the data is produced in a format that is standard for all law enforcement agencies and most police departments now have the capability to insert the disk given to them and upload this to the HQ and then into the amber alert system from a patrol car. This is key as when a child is abducted, by a non custodial parent or stranger, the faster the police spread the word the better the chances of recovery before something tragic happens. This saves time and all agencies get the correct info the first time and accurately. The DNA and dental impression sample are for, sadly, identification of remains.
The Freemasons do not ’strike fear’ or anything else in the public for that matter. They are just responding to a community need, as they have done for centuries. If you think the statistics are bogus go to the source of the stats, the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. I think they could convince you of the reality and severity of this problem.
You are right about one thing, that even one child abducted is too many.
Oh and by the way the RFID chips the conspiracy nuts rave about used in animals have an effective range of about 12 inches. So that would be absolutely useless to “find” a missing child. Their only use it to return a found pet to it’s owner. The finder, Vet, animal shelter, etc. Has to waive a wand over the back of the animal to read the sub-dermal chip. This is the only way they can work. Other RFID chips designed for commercial/retail use have a longer signal range but severely limited life and are too large to implant in a person.
The Freemasons background is as a charitable community service organization, there is nothing sinister about them. They are for the most part fine upstanding men in their communities.
If you are concerned about your child’s personal data then do not get his/her stats recored in case of such a tragic circumstance, that’s your prerogative. I see it as an excellent way to protect my child and provide fast accurate information to the police so they can be found as fast as possible and the perpetrator jailed so they cannot hurt another child.
It is the conspiracy nuts that spread fear and hatred with false accusations and innuendo. To make a statement about a whole organization you know nothing about personally, it just ethically wrong. Do real research, not Internet and UBoob videos for a source. Go to you local Freemasons lodge and speak to any one of them and I am sure they will be happy to tell you just about anything you’d like to know.
Another thing, there is not one citable or credible source that Freemasons have carried out the so called bloody oaths on any member in over 300 hundred years, so much for that threat. So bottom line is if you really researched this is that the ‘bloody oaths”, are symbolic as in the shame you should feel should you break the trust.
Everyone has ’secrets’ that they don’t want the whole world to know. Anyone who tells you different is lying.
That does not make the person or organization criminal or nefarious, they just value privacy and trust. If someone could not keep a simple ’secret’ like a password or a handshake, I wouldn’t trust them as far as I could throw them.
