I have known, since before the word "microchip" ever came into common use, and even before
the great microchip introduction into the pet market, that the ultimate goal was to put these evil
little things into the human population. I was informed about this back in the eighties by a retired
military official who subscribed to a working Collie magazine I was publishing at the time.  . 

At the time I found it unbelievable that loving and caring pet owners could actually be coerced, en mass, to have these nasty things implanted into their animals under the guise of being "helpful" should their pet be lost or stolen. Charlie assurred me it would happen, and not only would people accept the idea, they would get in line to request it, and even pay for it. He said 
the plan was to get the population comfortable with the idea by mainstreaming it (and working out the bugs) through their pets. I was skeptical. Silly me. 

Today people throughout the world are being chipped through their employers, their doctors, 
and often even without knowledge or concent. Many are reporting they found out they've been chipped only during a subsequent office or surgical procedure. Then there are others who
are actually willingly standing in line to be chipped. So it's here. They're chipping people.

Along with that, the narrative has changed. You can no longer buy a puppy or kitten who has been chipped and simply have your vet remove the nasty thing. They'll tell you they don't know how (!) They'll tell you it's a difficult and dangerous procedure (!) Of course both of those are blatant, outright lies, but that narrative now permiates the veterinary industry. Check on the internet, and your search engine will pull up the same lying narrative. Instead of telling you
how it's done easily and painlessly, they tell you it's impossible and dangerous to try.

If you happen to know that a chip can easily be removed with a strong magnet to pull it to the surface, a glob of teething gel to numb the area, a razor blade to make a small cut over it, a tweezer to pull it out, and a bit of surgical glue to close the site, you're considered anything 
from a heretic to a lunatic - often both. 

The masses have now been well trained - and now that the masses are also being chipped,
their future training will go faster, deeper, easier. As for the kitten I just imported from a country that won't allow a pet on an airplane without first having been stabbed with a microchip, I can happily report the offending piece of evil techno-crap has been successfully removed. It took 
less than two minutes. He's fine.
Microchips In 2026
We all know the internet has been pretty much scrubbed of any information that defies the narrative spewed by the pseudo-food
and medical industries. One example 
is that today, if you try to research microchip removal, you will only find admonishions telling you it's unwarranted, difficult, and dangerous. Of course we know this is poppycock. This beautiful Maine Coon
 kitten arrived from Russia with a microchip that had been implanted several weeks prior, It was removed, simply and painlessly, while he literally sat still and purred - enjoying the attention. The evil chip was already encased in a small mass of scar tissue, but the magnet grabbed it from several inches away nonetheless. This is the removal site just three weeks later - healing beautifully and already regrowing fur!
