The Missing and the day of the RFIDS

Yesterday was ' World Missing Children's day' apparently and Sky News was broadcasting news all day about missing children. The numbers run into the thousands.
Central to the campaign to raise awareness of missing children is the circumstances surrounding the disappearance from her holiday bedroom on the Algarve of Madeleine Mc Call, a four year old child snatched from her bed while her parents dined some twenty metres away.

Madeleine has now been missing for some weeks and despite a massive almost unprecedented person hunt has failed to surface.

Ancillary to this is the disappearance of a BBC newsman from the Gaza Strip in Palestine who has now been missing for a few months and equally ancillary is the disappearance of American servicemen, snatched when a bomb explosion in Iraq toppled their armoured vehicle.

Then there are the missing Israeli servicemen snatched last year by Islamist fighters in an incident that precipitated Israel's abortive campaign against the Hiizbollah last year in Lebanon. They are still missing.

Sky interviewed a couple, who, less articulate than the McCall's who have almost thrived on the amazing wave of publicity surrounding their daughter's disappearance, spoke brokenly about the inexplicable disappearance of their university aged son on a holiday in Crete two years ago. He apparently left some sleazy bar to walk back to his hotel and has never been seen again: neither has his bank card been used.

What could all this mean?

Undoubtedly people are and have been snatched for a variety of purposes, often sexual, since forever. Ancient Gothic novels were written on the subject way back in the nineteenth century and it was a long established custom even then.

Nonetheless that there are sufficient cases currently to generate a world day devoted to missing persons, mainly children, is in itself indicative that the practice has become endemic.

First off , mysterious disappearances are taxing non-existant police forces in many arcane parts of the world. The Portugese police have not yet inspired confidence with their handling of the 'Maddy' Mc Call case and for that matter the Jamaican police have inspired even less over their handling of the mysterious death of the Pakistani cricket coach during the world cup a while back.

A South African Swimming protégé youngster who disappeared on his way to Dubai recently and later turned up dead in a plastic bag in Peshawar Pakistan elicited no more than indifferent confusion on the part of Pakistani police authorities in that region who allegedly are too afraid to enter the area where the boy's was found because of the general state of lawlessness in the area. The Cretan police had apparently been less than helpful in the disappearance of the English University student who's parents were interviewed on Sky yesterday.

It is a truism that police all over the world are overworked, underpaid and subject to corrupt practices and are invariably governed by political appointees and mediocre cronies of political appointees. According to press reports our own Chief of police has recently been investigated by the Scorpions on grounds not yet made public.

However incompetent police forces only facilitate comfortable circumstances for disappearances to take place- the question of how the disappearances occur is still open ended since police by their very nature are reactive forces.

Adult disappearances are relatively less problematic than child disappearances but both could fuel all kinds of hypothesis. My own is that in a violent and untamed world chaos rules and those whose appetites are insatiable can vent their lust with impunity knowing that the forces of 'good' are always going to stumble around in the dark while the forces of 'evil' make their getaway with their 'loot'.

Those who favour conspiracy theories would argue that we are indeed in the 'end of days', so long predicted by the book of Revelations in the Christian bible. Logic suggests that in the random chaos that has been created between the evil forces of religious fundamentalism sweeping the planet in the wake of the 9/11 incident, and the increasingly shadowy forces of 'law and order' who have imposed draconian curbs on civil and human rights around the planet [according to a recent Amnesty International report] a circumstance arises when the long predicted 666 condition will arise.[Revelations 13.]Such conspiracy theorist could even argue that missing children: being still pure and holy are the forerunners of the long awaited event known as "the Rapture".

My dogs can have microchips implanted in them to facilitate me finding them should they wander off and get 'lost'. I have seen various articles over the past eighteen months suggesting that panicky American parents are contemplating micro-chipping their children to facilitate their recovery should they disappear. Various cellphone-based methodologies are already in use. A cell phone search helped find the person who kidnapped and murdered the young woman Leigh Matthews three years ago. There are also frequent movies around, which embrace the theme of the universal human barcode. Many companies are increasingly making used of radio frequency identification discs [RFIDS] to track things like razor blades and other commoditised high volume high theft goods. I predict that some enterprising entrepreneurs will soon be advertising RFIDS for humans.

I would suggest that within this next decade it will become de rigeur for all citizens to be implanted with this 'mark of the beast' or as I prefer to call it a 'life activator', which will make it harder for people to disappear, easier to find those who are snatched by evil sexual predators [and political zealots]and naturally make it simple to track down those who kidnap journalists and soldiers for whatever purposes- well until the 'forces of evil' figure out how to counter the chips. Naturally the civil rights and privacy invasion lobby will object [reasonably] But the tone is being set up for the controlled society so long predicted by writers of science fiction.

International Missing Children's Day is a step towards our long anticipated destiny with a script [Revelations] laid down a few thousand years ago and predicted again by the late Mr Nostradamus: a script so embedded in our consciousness that we don't even realise that we are playing it.
