Lithium in drink water has just been suggested again, this time by Japanese scientists to lower suicide rates in Japan. It is no new idea, though, having been suggested in Scandinavia and the US, too. Governments want passive, obedient populations, making their cross every four years at the right mark on the paper.

Chipping children I have read about two or three years ago, in context with British family courts, and again the US, where it was mentioned by a judge. HighTech security corporations also sometimes propagate it as a security solution, as a replacement for keys, credit cards, certain cellphone functions. The really worrying stuff of course is what they did not mention.

Electrodes in the brain I consider to be a question of time only. Don't we already do that with hearts and pacemakers? However, brain stimulation of course opens a wide gate for abuse and mind control, and legal and political correctness may even like the idea for that reason. It also plays a role in conetxt with riot control and control of a mass-crowded metropolitan environment esopecially if that faces shortages in food, water, energy, healtzh supplies etc. Hasn't Mexico City in parts been almost a war zone, for example, due to the police battling organised crime?

Bar code tatoos on the skin will not come. They are simply outdated.

I am sure that in one form or another, all the other things will come sooner or later. Which leaves me with the option of black humour only. And hoping that I must not become too old.
