Newborn babies to get bar codes instead of handwritten name tags

    A hospital in the UK has become the first to issue all new born babies with bar codes instead of traditional handwritten tags.

    Kettering General Hospital’s maternity unit has introduced the system to end mistakes caused by the illegible handwriting of medical staff.

    Now all newborns are getting a personal bar code strapped on their ankles which midwives zap with a scanner to read the baby’s details.

    Medical staff can find the child’s name, date of birth, national insurance number and name of the mother in a matter of seconds. They can also trace blood samples at the press of a button via a regional laboratory that tests for conditions such as sickle cell disease and cystic fibrosis.

    But if you have got it in a bar code you get rid of mistakes and eradicate human error.”


    Of course tags can be tampered with, come loose fall off etc,

    We all know where this will eventually go. :eek:

    If the tags can be tampered with, go missing etc. then the solution will be to embedd the barcodes onto skin.

    They should go back to the flawless hand written system. Nice picture, why didn't you use a Nazi one?

    Yes, the hand written tags currently in use cannot be tampered with or lost.

    Surely hand writing directly onto the baby wold be a beter plan than using flimsy tags and the devils bar codes.

    Hand written tags can go missing, they should be tattooed onto the skin.

    Barcode tattoos will stretch accordingly with age on human skin so RFID implants would be the enevitable solution. :eek:

    So why weren't names etc. tattooed or embedded onto the skin?

    It either will lead to The mark of the beast which is in revelations (it's actually revelation but troofers aren't ones for facts) or it's for making babies easier to sell.

    It would cause a lot of negative publicity.The only way they can achieve this is by incremental tip-toe steps so that the public will hardly notice what is going on.

    How would someone hardly notice a tattoo being put on their newborn??

    Agree. I find airport scanners to be OTT especially when used on children. But I don't see what it has to do with babies being tattooed as in the OP. One does not automatically lead to the other.


  • Registered Users Posts: 747 ✭✭✭uglyjohn


    barcodes and full integraded electronic tagging (when they roll it out eventually) should be done at birth in the hospital. the current system of abducting and tagging people with ufos is too labour intensive. The last thing we want from the NWO is a massive civil service with job duplication.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,704 ✭✭✭squod


    Easier to integrate barcodes into CCTV systems for security purposes. http://www.intellex.ie/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=29
    Realy don't see the problem with replacing hand written tags from that point of view.

    On the other hand, tats are ghey like.

    Im not linking the two, i was merely giving an example of how problem-reaction-solution works so effectively.Theres no way people would have accepted the full body scanners we have in place now until they enforce the "hegelian dialectic" and now they are used on a daily basis without any resistance at all from people.

    Because the bible is unambiguously referring to barcodes when it uses the phrase "the mark of the beast". Well at least it used to be, now it definitely means RFID chip implants...:rolleyes:

    Lets not get carried away with the sarcasm etc.

    Personally, I think the barcode is a great idea, but a smart idea would have been to have code and hand-written name


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,122 ✭✭✭TalkieWalkie


    In the not so distant future, proud parents will be taking photo's of their new born babies first barcode.
    In reality though, the whole scenario reminds me of how they tag cattle, so they can trace it back to it's origins etc.
    Regarding the "human error" aspect, couldn't someone still accidentally put the wrong barcode on the wrong baby ?
    There is no need for it imo

    Parolees tagged, cattle tagged and now babies tagged, general folk are gonna want to be tagged too, just to fit in. It's perfect :rolleyes:

    If you don't want to be tagged (RFID,Barcode etc) then you must have something to hide and are quite possibly a terrorist.

    It doesn't remove all possibilities for human error, nor did anyone make that claim. Depending on how soon after birth they tag the newborn, it could be made next to impossible to tag the wrong baby.

    The hospital administration felt there was a need for it, why do you disagree?

    That just sounds silly.

    You're making a huge leap from what this thread is about to what you fear the future will bring, and it's not based on anything real.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 494 ✭✭Truthrevolution

    In the end times nobody will be able to buy or sell anything unless they receive the "mark of the beast".Everybody is to receive this mark on their shoulder or right hand.Seeing as this is where the chips get implanted people are linking the RFID to the mark

    Yeah but in reality, it is just to desensitize people toward barcodes,chipping etc

    Was there no need before now ? Has this particular hospital got unusually forgetful staff ? And have they only become forgetful recently ?

    I am not in fear of anything and I am not taking any leap, Youtube "RFID chip"
    and see the clips of police men, families and others getting the chip in the interest of safety/security.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 426 ✭✭Kepti

    Whose reality? Were bar-codes introduced to supermarkets because of the convenience or as part of the desensitization effort?

    Yes, there was a need before now. They identified an ongoing problem and sought a solution to it. The article says the problem was illegible handwriting, not forgetfulness of staff.

    You're railing against something that helps babies and makes hospitals more efficient.
    It was supposed to, notice the "it's perfect" sarcastic tone ?

    I think you misinterpreted what exactly I was calling silly there.
    I am not in fear of anything and I am not taking any leap, Youtube "RFID chip"

    Some individuals choose to get RFID chips implanted so it somehow follows that anyone who chooses not to will be a branded a terrorist or has something to hide? Reads like a leap and unfounded fears to me.

    Revelation 13vs 16 to 18 refers to a mark in the right hand or forehead according to ancient Greek manuscripts. "Textus Receptus". "Epi" referring to "center", The 1611 is taken directly from this translation. Corrupt modern translations such as the HIV version state on the hand which could foolishly be misinterpreted as a barcode.

    verichip-serpent.jpg

    King James Version: "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"

    Modern HIV version: "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead".

    Even the RC Douay Rheims version specifies a mark in the hand which gives credibility of an implant over a mark or tattoo on the hand.

    So can you honestly state, hand on heart, that long before RFID chip technology was around, that you weren't claiming that barcodes were the mark of the beast?

    Also, you would need to prove that the book of revelation is divinely revealed wisdom, rather than the ramblings of a schizophrenic in a cave, but I suppose therein lies its beauty, it can be interpreted anyway you want.

    I was aware of the Barcode containing the "forbidden" number going back as far as 1982 little did I know about RFID implants at the time. :eek:

    ok....so just so i know....as it stands, the conspiracy theory in this thread is that the beast (satan) in conspiring with Kettering General Hospital’s maternity unit to put chips in babies so when the NWO takes over the babies (now adults) can buy goods and services?

    How the hell did we let it come to this! :mad:

    Maybe he was ex military or special forces but it just goes to show.....

    And theres no evidence babies are going to be tattooed, merely that a single hospital is using barcodes instead of scribbled handwritten tags. How is that "involuntary"

    Maybe he was into Front 242. Maybe he liked the barcode tatoo in Alien.

    Maybe it's his commentary on his slavery to the illumaniti and urban desolation in which we all live in.
