The mark of the beast is around the corner
By Cynthia A. Janak
"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 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666" Rev. 13:16-18 [NIV]
Another passage goes on to say, "A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: 'If ANYONE worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name. This calls for patient endurance on the part of THE SAINTS who obey God's commandments and remain faithful to Jesus'" Rev. 14:9-12 [NIV].
Is this just religious belief or is it prophetic? How could a man, John the Prophet, relay this as fact in the New Testament of the Christian Bible, the book of Revelations, at around 95 AD? You decide.
While researching this I have found that it was prophetic and true. We have the technology today to implement this plan. Years ago we never envisioned that this could be a possibility because we did not have the technology to make this a reality.
When the bar code was implemented, some religious zealots were adamant that the bar code was the sign of the beast. I, being a student of prophesy in many forms, knew that not to be true. I also did know that it was the beginning. The first step in this prophesy coming to fruition.
We then had all the grocery and other companies giving out discount cards. This was to track what we buy and where. What you did not know is that all your information is kept and they know where you live and what you eat.
You have your credit card companies forcing upon us to use their cards. This is not only to get us into debt but to track what we purchase and where we live and what we do with the rest of our hard earned money.
For those of you who read 1984, you can see that "Big Brother" is alive and well and is encroaching on our society in leaps and bounds.
With that said, I want to get to the meat and the truth of what is going on today.
From what I have been able to find, this is where it is assumed that it will be implanted.
As you can see, it will be implanted into the palm of the hand area. (Reference passage above.)
Let me tell you how all this got started. I know you want to tell this to your grandchildren as a bedtime story when they ask why they have a small scar on their hand. To the children that have an allergic reaction to the device then they will ask why they have to wear a patch every day. Isn't that a pleasant thought?
Back in a time when we thought we were still free, 1996, our president William Clinton decided to do something wonderful for the people of the United States of America. He decided to allow the Pentagon to open the Global Positioning System satellite network to the people of the United States.
With this availability of the Global Positioning System, many companies invented tracking technologies. These inventions made it easier for companies to track where their employees were when they were traveling. The big companies loved this idea because they knew that they would not loose any more money because an employee would mistakenly take a few extra minutes for lunch. The big companies were even happier because they could determine the schedule for the employee and track to see if he was on time to the designated jobs. The big companies thought this was a wonderful thing and they were happy.
The big companies saw that their profits rose and they were able to get bigger paychecks and dividends. All was good with the big companies and they were happy.
Then the big companies saw that they could track where all their products were. So they decided to make the chips smaller and smaller and smaller. Now you have a chip that can be implanted into the packaging and hems of clothing.
What I am going to reference are articles from http://www.wired.com/. I had a very enlightening experience when I read these articles.
Here is an article by Mark Baard, dated April 12, 2005.
CHICAGO — Tom Ridge, the first secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, this week told the manufacturers and users of radio-frequency identification technologies that their work will protect Americans from terrorism.
This is the ruse. They want you to think that the sole purpose is terrorism prevention. No it is not. This is a tracking device and it will be used as such for any reason what-so-ever. To prove this point here is more of the article and additional articles on the subject.
It will also make inventory tracking more efficient for retailers like Wal-Mart and their thousands of suppliers, he said.
"That's one of the beautiful things about RFID," said Ridge. "It's another security measure embedded in the U.S. economy."
Ridge, who recently left his job as DHS chief, ushered the department through several RFID pilot programs, including programs that use tags to secure shipping containers from tampering, and those that use both RFID and biometrics to track workers entering secure airport facilities.
What I want to point out here is in the last paragraph. I quote, "biometrics to track workers entering secure airport facilities." What I am going to do here is to give you the definition of "biometrics."
The term bio can be used as a short form of Biography. What it is being used here is as a prefex bio which means biology. As we all know, biology is the study of the human body. To quote the Encarta Dictionary, it means, the science that deals with all forms of life, including their classification, physiology, chemistry, and interactions.
The term metrics (adjective) is measurements relating to or using the metric system of measurement. Metrics (noun) mathematical function, mathematics a mathematical function defined for a coordinates system that associates properties to each pair of elements that are analogous to distance between points on a line.
Now let us put the two together as in biometrics. What this is a biological means of tracking elements between two points.
In other words, it is a system of tracking any person or item and the device is compatable with the biological make-up of the person or item. I know that is a mouthful and it is hard to comprehend that this is where we are today.
Here is the first example of how the government is planning on tracking people with this technology. Do you think that the tracking will stop there? Read on.
Here is another article by Mark Baard dated 02:00 AM Jul. 14, 2005 PT
Privacy advocate Katherine Albrecht, an opponent of the use of radio tags on consumer goods and in ID documents, is a woman any X-Files fan could love.
She's youthful-looking and attractive, with fair skin and cherry-blonde hair. A former schoolteacher, Albrecht also has a master's degree from Harvard, where she is completing a doctoral degree.
As director of the consumer privacy group Caspian, Albrecht is a darling of the mainstream news media too. In hundreds of interviews, in a list of publications that includes Business Week and Times of London, she has warned of privacy risks posed by RFID tags, the radio devices that retailers plan to use as a replacement for bar-code labels.
Albrecht fears that retailers will match the data emitted by the tags with their customers' information, turning each tag into a potential tracking beacon. She also suspects the government will want access to the retailers' RFID databases.
I read this and in a way I was glad. Here is a woman who sees the tags for what they really are and she is doing something to notify the public about this. But, do you hear anything about this on the main stream media? No, you do not. This is because they know that if this were to get out to the majority of Americans there would be many organizations lobbying their legislators to pass amendments against such an encurion into our private lives further eroding our freedom.
In an article by Kim Zetter at Wired News, dated January 13, 2005 she writes: "The administration has made it clear that they do intend to continue their move to dramatically reduce privacy and constitutional protection for our citizens," said former Republican congressman Bob Barr, who now works as a speaker and consultant to organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union.
The corporate sector has increasingly been collaborating with government agencies in data-mining projects that whittle away individual liberties. Privacy advocates say this will be the most important issue to watch this year.
Can anyone tell me if this was reported earlier this year? I do not remember reading anything about this. I am glad that I do not have a credit card but I do have a debit card. I would suggest that everyone use cash when buying something. At least, for right now, they can not track that. Cash is king.
Although laws prohibit the government from building dossiers on individuals, they don't prohibit the government from buying information from commercial data aggregators like Acxiom, ChoicePoint and LexisNexis, which collect information about citizens' web surfing, bank transactions, doctor visits and travel itineraries. And there are no laws governing how federal agencies can use the data.
The concern cuts both ways, however. Privacy advocates say there are currently few safeguards governing how private corporations can use information passed to them by government authorities. For example, the Fleet Bank in Boston closed the financial accounts of several customers after law enforcement made inquiries about the customers' transactions in the course of a terrorist investigation. Although authorities never found any reason to charge the customers with a crime, the bank closed their accounts anyway.
I want to reference this part of scripture to make my point here. "to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark," Here our banks are using this technology against citizens. They are closing accounts on the basis of, what I would call, rumor and not on fact. Who could be next, you and me.
European and Latin American countries are also looking to establish privacy safeguards for data collected by U.S. companies on foreign consumers. According to Marc Rotenberg, executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, U.S. commercial data aggregators have collected information on Latin American consumers and dropped it into border-patrol databases to help officials determine who should be allowed entry to the United States.
"This data from property records and DMV and voter-registration records in those countries should not be going to the U.S. for these purposes," Rotenberg said. "The flow of information around the world will be a very big issue this year."
Rotenberg said it perfectly here. I also do not feel that any one government should be able to collect the private information of any citizen, no matter where they live in the world. This is just another step to One World dominion over the people of the earth. This is also why the United Nations wants to manage the internet. They want this to stem the flow of information to the people and to censor people like me who want to inform citizens of their diabolical plans.
Last October, the FDA approved an implantable computer chip that would contain medical information to assist with health care. The military has discussed implanting the chips in soldiers to speed up medical care, and Rotenberg said it's likely the chips will soon be used in prisoners, parolees and eventually children. The concern is with forced chipping, which would take away choice from individuals receiving the chips.
Here is the pièce de résistons. Now I might be wrong in my spelling of this french term but please bear with me on this. What I mean is that here is the best as to the topic.
In the previous paragraph you see that Rotenberg is worried that the implantable chip is going to evolve into forced implantation. Knowing what I know today about the goings on in the world and in the United States, he has a very good reason to be concerned.
Rotenberg expects 2005 to be a busy year for privacy advocates. But he hopes that individuals won't leave it to organized activists to do all the work to protect privacy rights or think that because a specific right doesn't pertain to them that it's OK for others to lose it.
"It's a mistake to think that privacy is an individualist or atavist right," Rotenberg said. "I really view privacy as a collective right. When someone else is forced to give up their privacy, yours could be the next to go."
Here you go folks. Here is what the main stream media does not want you to know. The mark of the beast is here. Will our government be the one to force us to wear the mark or will it be the UN? We will not know until that time comes. What I do know is that I will not be one to get that chip implanted on my body.
I will leave you with this last piece of scripture. Take joy in the fact that God is watching out for you. And if you do not give in to the beast you will be with Him forever.
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them; and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in there hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection." Rev. 20:4–6 [KJV].
Finally, my research in seeking the truth (not that I have it all) has lead me on a road that I wish I were not on. It is a road of destruction of the American way of life as we know it. I feel that the citizens of the United States of America deserve the truth. I also feel that we still have time to stop this headlong rush to destruction. I do not want to see the destruction of our freedom of religion and freedom of speech to become history. Do you? I do not want to see the government taking over our rights as parents and caregivers of our disabled and elderly. I pray every morning and evening that this will not happen in America like it happened under Hitler and the countries of other dictators. Pray with me and stand up against the un-American actions by judicial decree. Contact your legislators and let them know how you feel.
