Gary McKinnon

Yes, that Raytheon, one of the largest defense contractors in the world.

deeply embedded in military systems, missile guidance, radar, and classified electronics.

By the end of the 2000s, Verichip themselves had secured the rights to technology that would allow the chips to detect viruses from inside the body, including strains like H1N1.

The proposal described an implant that could determine whether a virus was present, what kind it was, and how serious the threat might be.

At that point, the device would no longer just be identifying a person.

It would be monitoring their unique physiology and biomedical data.

Completely dystopian, to say the least.

And even more dystopian, knowing that this tracking technology was likely used in retaliation on an ordinary citizen like Gary McKinnon.

So if that were surgically removed, what do you think you would find?

I don't know.

Maybe two lumps of unanalysable material.

I don't know.

I didn't have so much good equipment back then, but now I have really good stuff for electromagnetic analysis, radio frequency analysis.

And I'd rather do that first before having it removed.

You should do all that.

Yeah.

You should do it, like, tomorrow.

I'll ask my local doctor.

I'm just saying, I'm just saying, you know, you don't want, uh, the names to go missing, like in the, you know, non-terrestrial officers, like you want it, you get like, do it now, you know?

Yeah.
