==Overview==
The nerochip, mentioned on both [[Operation Chip Sweep]] and [[Operation Swamp 0000]] Is is a tiny red device, implanted in the right wrist of all convicts of violent crimes, which traces the whereabouts of the person who carries it. It is mentioned as a government policy in England on both websites, but on Operation Chip Sweep, it is stated that the technology was borrowed from America. This may mean that the U.S. government tracks all of their convicts this way, or all of their citizens. It is as of yet unclear.
The author of Operation Swamp 0000 is also worried that the British government is going to begin implanting these chips in all of their citizens.
Dr. Gantry apparantly refers to the nerochip as the "Mark of the Beast". In the Book of Revelation of the New Testament, 666 is known as the Number of the Beast, and is commonly believed to be a numerological code for Neron Kaiser, the Hebrew pronunciation of the Roman Emperor ''Nero''. It is stated that the Antichrist will require all people to recieve the Mark of the Beast upon their bodies (usually forehead or right hand) in order to participate in commerce. As a result, parallels have frequently been drawn between the Mark of the Beast and microchip implants, specifically as a counter-measure to identity theft and credit card fraud, in more recent years.
In a [[Mailstrom]] [http://www.themailstrom.com/parasite_tP366K.htm message] it is revealed that nerochips are required for certain public privileges such as driving, meaning regular citizens are not required to have one, however their activities are much more restricted if they do not have one. It is also revealed that people can have nerochips that are not implanted, noting that nerochip earrings have become popular among celebrities and the general public.
