Folks - this is reality. It is not coming, it is already here.

Amazon is perfecting a payment system where a wave of your hand will pay for item.

Amazon's New Payment System Scans Your Hand Instead Of A Credit Card

They are starting with Whole Foods, but that is just their test base. The plans have already been drawn up for it to grow exponentially.

Biometrics will not stop with current face or hand recognition technology. It will morph into a universal "bar code" for each human being. The same Big Tech firms (Facebook, Google, Twitter, etc.) that ban you for "hate speech" and "inappropriate content" will soon control your access to your bank accounts, IRAs, 401Ks, and everything else.

The same Big Tech that is monitoring and recording your conversations via Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant.

Brave New World.

I have one finger they can scan.

“...between our bodies and corporate America....”

Like all of corporate America is evil. Using my face or fingerprint to buy something I want and do so securely doesn’t scare me.

Now having the government track me, trace me, listen to me and store my digital history is a different story. And what Democrats want is to merge the government and corporations like they’ve done in China.

Worry about that.

What exactly is the problem?

The payment is being made by a phone ap secured with a facial recognition ap rather than a punched in pass code. The phone ap is an extension of the electronic ledger that is the purchasers bank account

Walmart tested locally a payment method where as you shopped, you scanned the item with your phone and the total sale was talied onyour phone. At checkout, you scanned the Walmart checkout screen and the info on your phone was captured on the walmart computer including the preset creditcard info paying for the transaction.

It was quick and easy once you learned.

It was a trial that was abandoned for scanners at checkout. Walmart knows and is working on the future. Amazon is just catching up

It’s getting to the point where they will refuse a transaction based on detecting a lack of life signs on the body part being scanned.

The entire article is worth reading. The author doesn’t delve too deeply in the the possible misuses by governments and corporations and only just mentions China’s “social credit” score in passing. One person quoted did throw out one hypothetical bad scenario where the amount you tip an Uber driver today could influence your mortgage rate twenty years from now.

But the likely misuse by governments, including our own, is largely ignored, unfortunately.

Recently I made an online reservation for a hotel room in another state. Used a credit card.
No problem, right?
Wrong.
Online reservation would only accept a tiny deposit, with email to follow containing a “booking reference code” and instructions for completion of the booking.

Ok, I get the email, ref code, and click on the LINK IN THE EMAIL. Ha.

In which it becomes clear there was no way to put the balance due on my credit card. So I call the front desk of the hotel, which, btw, is 1500 miles away.

Nope, sorry, due to fraud concerns, we require balance due when you check in. You must present ID & same credit card.

But I’m booking a room for a relative whose wallet was stolen in a robbery.

Well, he could rebook using his own credit card & ID.

Wallet! Stolen! (I half-shout, mumbling, Asshole! under my breath.) We’ve shut down his credit cards already. He needs a room. So replacements can be FED-EXed to him there. Can I just give you my cc number AND BOOK8NG REFERENCE NUMBER FROM THE EMAIL so you can complete the payment?

No, sorry, we’re not allowed to punch in account numbers over the phone. We’ll need to have same credit card in person so we can swipe it thru the machine.

Long story short, a different hotel was chosen, but see where this is going? Soon “in person completion only” will mean “implanted microchip only.”

I love these threads. So hilarious. All the posturing fools pretending they won’t be participating. Guys are funny.

“I used my iPhone to pay, and I unlocked it with my face”

Hillary Clinton has broken several I-Phones that way.

“: We are just one small step away from paying with our bodily features alone.”

So . . . I’ve been getting paid cause of my body “parts” for years.
Now I guess I can pay with it?

But it won’t fit in the slot.

The 666 Mark of the Beast is coming sooner than people want to believe.

God’s Word is absolutely true, this prophecy concerning the Mark of the Beast will be fulfilled 100%. And what we see taking place with bar codes, cashless societies, chip implants, and cashless facial/biometric transactions are all a prelude and preparation for its implementation.

The masses (especially the young) are being CONDITIONED to wholeheartedly receive it when it comes, and EVERYONE who accepts the Mark of the Beast is ETERNALLY DAMNED, with ZERO chance of salvation, redemption or eternal life... ZERO!

Wake up, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and receive Him as your personal savior before it is eternally too late.
