Force Majeure

This year has been shaping up to be an even more prophetically charged than 2019. One of the more interesting, yet underreported, strange goings-on, has been the lemming-like procession of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) leaving their corporate respective organizations.

According to Challenger, Gray, and Christmas Inc., who has tracked statistics like these since 2002, the years 2019-2020 had seen the highest exodus of CEOs depart their organizations since they first began. Unlike 2008, in which the mortgage meltdown threw the entire economy into a tailspin, the economy had been booming up until the current COVID19 (Wuhan Flu) began its pandemic rampage across the globe.

For example, over 172 Chief Executives left their post in October 2019, making it 1,160 departures for the year. The previous year (2018), had seen only 425. However, back in October 2019, no one even knew what COVID19 was, much less worried about it ever becoming a pandemic. That month, held the highest record departures since 2008’s financial meltdown.

However, that single month record was shattered in January 2020, when over 215 Chief Executives left their position. At this point, the news of the Chinese-flu had just started to leak out of China, but the economic impacts had not yet been felt in the West. Here are some of the more notable departures:

~Bob Iger- Disney

~Page and Brin- Google

~Bill Gates- Microsoft, Berkshire Hathaway

~Dennis Muilenburg- Boeing

~Steve Easterbrook- McDonald’s

~Mark Parker- Nike

~Devin Wenig- eBay

~Adam Neumann- We Work

This year has been shaping up to be an even more prophetically charged than 2019. One of the more interesting, yet underreported, strange goings-on, has been the lemming-like procession of Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) leaving their corporate respective organizations.

According to Challenger, Gray, and Christmas Inc., who has tracked statistics like these since 2002, the years 2019-2020 had seen the highest exodus of CEOs depart their organizations since they first began. Unlike 2008, in which the mortgage meltdown threw the entire economy into a tailspin, the economy had been booming up until the current COVID19 (Wuhan Flu) began its pandemic rampage across the globe.

For example, over 172 Chief Executives left their post in October 2019, making it 1,160 departures for the year. The previous year (2018), had seen only 425. However, back in October 2019, no one even knew what COVID19 was, much less worried about it ever becoming a pandemic. That month, held the highest record departures since 2008’s financial meltdown.

However, that single month record was shattered in January 2020, when over 215 Chief Executives left their position. At this point, the news of the Chinese-flu had just started to leak out of China, but the economic impacts had not yet been felt in the West. Here are some of the more notable departures:

Although I had seen these departures come across the news as they happened, I did not begin to consider this as a sign of the times until watching a Jason A video on YouTube. Although he does not answer it either, my initial question was why is the ‘managerial aristocracy’ departing at breakneck speed and in significantly high numbers? What do they know that we don’t, and when did they know it?

You have to remember that CEOs are the corporate-worlds equivalent of Four-Star Generals. They get all the perks. They get all the VIP passes. They get the best parking spots, offices, houses, hotels, paychecks; they literally live like Kings and Queens.

Why would anyone ever voluntarily give that up?

Also, remember folks, CEOs are not dumb. They did not get (or stay) at the pinnacle of their respective empires by being ill-informed dummies. It does not make any sense that with a booming economy and technology literally evolving by the day that these managerial aristocrats would step down (or aside) when the going is really good. Their mass exodus makes sense when times are bad (2001, 2008), but not when things are on the up and up (record-high stock markets).

Something has them spooked.

Some have argued that the primary reason for all these CEOs stepping down is that the cultural dynamics have shifted since the MeToo movement began back in 2015. However, this does not explain why female CEOs are also stepping down (IBM, Altria, etc.). Many on the far right (Q for example) have connected this to a grand-scale conspiracy, intricately linking Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest and death, as well as Harvey Weinstein’s arrest and conviction, to their sudden flight. It is argued (rightly so) that the rich and powerful tend to run in the same circles, thus, the fate of these two men may have spooked them about their own shadowy pasts.

Furthermore, many of these CEOs tend to lean left ideologically (if for nothing else, political top cover), it could be that they see retribution coming their way in light of the Democrat’s repeated failed attempts to remove President Trump from office. Perhaps they fear the ongoing Durham and Barr investigations, which has, as of yet, not been fully released their findings in total.

My opinion on this is that why some of the aforementioned reasons might be true (to one extent or another), it does not answer the mail on why so many have left, and so quickly. They cannot all be in a giant, grand, conspiracy. Not now, when even the most guarded of secrets are leaked to the press at a dizzying rate. Even the most secretive of groups who do not even permit the press (e.g., Bilderberg) routinely leak information as if their prized information were guarded with a chain-link fence. Nevertheless, linking 2019 and 2020’s exodus of top executive chiefs to the May 2019 Bilderberg meeting, might have served sufficient suspicion, had US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Trump’s son in law, Jared Kushner, not been in attendance.

However, perhaps it is more sinister and less conspiratorial than we think.

Let me explain.

As mentioned previously, many of the top CEOs (esp. in the technology sectors) lean left. They lean left because they primarily operate out of liberally controlled areas like California’s Silicon Valley, New York City, Seattle, Washington, Dallas and Austin, Texas. The people they employ in the tech sector, also live in these liberal, culturally diverse areas. They donate to top left-causes such as Planned Parenthood and any number of Soros-affiliated organizations. They do this, not so much because they care or believe in what the left is selling (socialism), but they do not want to take the political, economic, and cultural backlash for going against the cultural tide (see Nike’s absurd support for Colin Kaepernick).

They are in it to make as much money for their companies as humanly possible, and to do that, they have to be as politically neutral and left friendly as possible. They do not want the negative press either from academia, the media or from Hollywood, boycotting their goods and services. They have seen what the left can do to businesses who have stood their ideological ground (ex. California’s Proposition 8, Chick-Fil-A, Hobby Lobby, etc.) and want nothing of it.

Therefore, the current crop of top corporate officers is all that remains of the almighty western economy in 2020. Boardroom after boardroom filled with corporate cowards and ideological eunuchs. They care more about their golden parachutes than they do about the welfare and trajectory of their nation. These CEOs are leaving while the leaving is good. They know what goes up (the Dow for instance) must come down. They know that this economic boom of “Make America Great Again,” is not sustainable. Not with the nation being $22T in debt. They know to what depths, the Democrats and the left will go to either get rid of Trump or ensure he does not get re-elected. Even if it means wrecking the economy in the process. Enter the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic, panic-demic. From the New Yorker’s Intelligencer,

Last October, two months before the coronavirus that causes COVID-19 emerged in central China, a group of public-health experts gathered in New York City for a simulation. Their objective was to determine how industry, national governments, and international institutions could work together to respond to a hypothetical “pandemic with potentially catastrophic consequences.”

Such a pandemic is no longer just a hypothetical. This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it’s preparing for a coronavirus pandemic and the organization’s former director flatly declared that COVID-19 “will become a pandemic.”

The characteristics of the virus currently causing global havoc are remarkably similar to the one proposed in the simulation, dubbed “Event 201.” The simulated virus, called CAPS for Coronavirus Associated Pulmonary Syndrome, began in Brazilian pigs who passed it to farmers. It resulted in symptoms ranging from mild flu-like symptoms to pneumonia. Three months in, the hypothetical illness had caused 30,000 illnesses and 2,000 deaths. (Source)

For the record, it is not strange or bizarre for organizations like ARNORTH (Army Northern Command), the CDC (Center for Disease Control), or the WHO (World Health Organization) to run disaster-scenarios linked to viral outbreaks. It is, however, curiously conspicuous that an exercise and an actual pandemic coincide so closely and seamlessly.

Whether the world’s top CEO’s knew what was coming ahead of time is both unprovable and irrelevant. What is relevant, and a more likely scenario is that these top CEO’s know the left’s desperation and know the intent and extent the left will go to, to use a major disaster to wreck Trump’s booming economy. The left cannot afford to go into the next election with a bumbling Biden at the helm, and a nation enjoying economic prosperity the likes of which, it has not seen in decades. That spells out four more years of Donald J. Trump, something that is completely unacceptable to the Democratic left.

That is the obvious explanation.

Here is where things get sinister.

When we think of the politically left, we think of Joe Biden, Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, etc. These are the elected leftist politicians who promote varying shades of socialism, social justice initiatives, and anti-Christian legislation that has progressed from bad to worse over the decades.

Yet these circus clowns are not the real power brokers.

They answer to those forces who fund their campaigns and keep their pockets lined.

Men like George Soros, the recently departed David Rockefeller, the Roman Catholic Church, and functionaries in and associated with the United Nations. There is undoubted many more of whom, we likely do not even know exist. These powerful men and women are avowed globalists. What that means, is they believe in true globalism, which equals, a singular, all-powerful world government. Everything else is just a means to an end. They are true believers in the idea that the cure to all that ails the world is an all-powerful, global government. From their perspective, you could end war, poverty, and man-made climate change, if a single government were in charge. Take, for example, this quote attributed to David Rockefeller,

“The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.” “The Powers That Be: America’s Dirtiest Secrets”. Book by William Caniano, 2007.

While the last few years have been extremely busy at debunking anything, anyone has ever said, one could simply look at the organizations David Rockefeller has helped chair or found (Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg Group). He was a well-known and devoted internationalist, and as such, the above quote (and many others) is not out of character. Nevertheless, what Rockefeller means here when he says “national auto-determination,” he means, the sovereignty and/or right of a nation to make its own path. The United States has its Constitution to guide its government; the British have theirs; the Russians, theirs, and so forth. What he was saying was that the world would be better off it were run by a group of supranational (or above individual nations) intellectual elite and world bankers, rather than allowing individual nations to determine their own future.

Frightful thought.

However, because he thought that way, and many other powerful men and women do as well, how do we get to there (i.e., removing auto-determination) from the world we live in now?

Force Majeure. From as neutral a source as I can find, Wikipedia

Force majeure (/ˌfɔːrs mɑːˈʒɜːr, -məˈʒɜːr/ FORSS mah-ZHUR, -⁠mə-ZHUR; French: [fɔʁs maʒœʁ]) – or vis major (Latin) – meaning “superior force”, also known as cas fortuit (French) or casus fortuitus (Latin) “chance occurrence, unavoidable accident”,[1] is a common clause in contracts that essentially frees both parties from liability or obligation when an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of the parties, such as a war, strike, riot, crime, plague, or an event described by the legal term act of God (hurricane, flood, earthquake, volcanic eruption, etc.), prevents one or both parties from fulfilling their obligations under the contract. In practice, most force majeure clauses do not excuse a party’s non-performance entirely, but only suspend it for the duration of the force majeure.

In other words, acts/events that fall outside of anyone’s control. A force majeure event, forces, or can force a leveling of the playing field, a renegotiation of terms, a cancellation of obligations, and so forth. Global pandemics fall into this category.

So if we were to consider the present COVID19 (Wuhan Flu strand) a global pandemic, what is up for renegotiation? What does this mean for the average person out there? How will this be accomplished?

Let me answer in reverse.

Through stages. It means a reinvigorated attempt to push globalism through the finish line. Anything that does not immediately and indefinitely support globalism is up for renegotiation. Through Stages: This is part of what we have come to know as “incrementalism.”

Small incremental changes to how we live, or will accept as normal. If we look at the past and see the initial successes and ultimate failures of men like Napoleon, Hitler, Hirohito, etc., we see that they tried to implement their will by force and in short order. History has pointed out repeatedly, that the world rejected it and fought back.

However, if those changes were to come in small, incremental steps, we would become the frog in the proverbial pot. We would not know the water was too hot until it was too late for us to jump out of said pot. Moreover, that has been the story of the second half of the 20th-century.

At the conclusion of World War II, the world leaders met at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire in 1944, and came to what is known now as the Bretton Woods Agreement. It largely established the global financial structure going forward in the eventual defeat of the Third Reich and the rise of Western democracies.

The Bretton Woods standard worked from 1944 through 1971, but with both Europe and Japan on the rebound, the US’s ability to cover its debts with actual gold was in peril. That was when President Nixon “shocked” the global markets by replacing the gold standard with the ‘free-floating’ fiat currencies. Although the concept of the petrodollar was born in 1945 with then-President Roosevelt’s formalized alliance with the Saudis, it could not become politically viable until after Bretton Woods Agreement dissolved.

In the aftermath of the 1973 Yom Kippur War, 12 OPEC nations proceeded with an oil embargo (as recompense for the US support to Israel). This sent gasoline prices through the roof in 1973-74 but largely kept the prices to double what they had been before 1973, even after stabilizing. By 1979, the Carter Administration had negotiated a renewal of the petrodollar, assuring the seven-kingdom stability in exchange for assurances that all petrol transactions be conducted using US currency. This guarantee gave the Saudi’s geopolitical top cover with a resurgent Iran and adversarial Soviet Union, as well as ensure US currency remained the world’s primary reserve currency. The world has largely operated under these rules until the advent of the internet age.

Once the world began dabbling online in earnest (mid-late 1990s), everything has been trending towards digitalization. What started out with meager efforts has become a full-force deluge of information digitalization. We are in the middle of what has been dubbed, the Industrial Revolution 4.0. As a refresher, these are:

~Industrial Revolution 1.0– Mechanization, steam, and waterpower

~Industrial Revolution 2.0– Mass production and electricity

~Industrial Revolution 3.0– Electronic, Information Technology (IT) systems, and automation

~Industrial Revolution 4.0– Cyber-physical systems, cloud computing, quantum systems, artificial intelligence

Therefore, what does the 20th-century globalist do in light of the evolving technology of the 21st-century?

The same as they always did.

The Hegelian Dialectic model.

Agenda- centralization of power into fewer and fewer hands

Thesis– manufactured problem designed to invoke a particular reaction

Antithesis– stated reaction to manufactured problem

Synthesis– predisposed solution to manufactured problem

The 20th-century has been to date, the most violent and turbulent century on record yet at the same time, humanity was at the pinnacle of innovation, invention, and information processing. How could we get too-?

101 million deaths due to famine? 177 million deaths due to murder? 131 million deaths due to war? 1,680 million deaths due to infectious diseases?

Globalization as the end state.

Fair to say, that if I were a 20th-century globalist, with the means and ability to affect change at the national and international level, I would use crisis to advance my agenda. So what is my agenda?

Agenda: Centralization of power for a global government

Thesis: The world is a dangerous and lawless place and requires international (or supranational) laws to provide peace and security to the populace

Antithesis: Pandemics, terrorism, authoritarian despots with dangerous ideology, religious extremism, and climate change

Synthesis: Use each crisis to embolden some new global initiative that diminishes the sovereignty of the individual state, and gives power to a supranational governing body

So far, that thinking has gotten us the League of Nations (failed), the United Nations (failing), and the European Union (failing). So why, and how can the global elite of international bankers and financiers, make the world bend to their will?

Renegotiation

This is where technological advancements come into play. What is something that everyone needs? The obvious answers would be food, water, clean air, and shelter. Yet, as the world has moved on from being primarily agrarian barter-based system, to that of a market based one, more and more people require currency in order to survive, particularly in Western society. This is something that the pioneers in financing noticed going back as early as the 16th-century. There was a most notable Jewish-German family in the 18th-century who took notice of this and capitalized on this growing reality with a fury. The Rothschild family has been in the money-business since the late 1700s, and they have made their fortunes, often funding every side of a war or conflict. Their version of the “golden rule” was whoever owns the gold makes the rules.

This fits in line with our understanding of freedom and incrementalism. The Rothschild did not care what flag you waived, or whether you voted or not, they simply wanted to be the power behind the throne. They stayed in power by keeping this regimen. However, they never let a crisis go to waste.

When a crisis of significant magnitude occurred (force majeure), they always used those moments to advance their causes and put themselves in greater positions of authority. That is who has real power. They have set up shop in major centers of commerce, often transforming the landscape of those cities into the hubs of financial power for world leaders for centuries. I mention them only in reference to a quote that has long been attributed to the British Baron Nathan Meyer Rothschild (1840-1915), which states,

“Let us control the money of a country and we care not who makes its laws.”

Wealthy families like the Rockefellers and Rothschild’s may not care who is at the helm of nations, so long as they remain the power behind those thrones. However, if devoted globalists and internationalist view a singular world government, as their ultimate end-state, then we should be able to measure each major global crisis (going back decades) to see what was giving up to reach said end-state?

Conclusion

You might be wondering what the exodus of powerful CEOs and this long history lesson of 20th-century globalism has in common with our ongoing global reaction to the Coronavirus (Wuhan-Flu strand)?

First, let me say what it is not.

It is not simply a Democratic plot to unseat a republican president by crippling the US economy. As much as the left hates Donald Trump- Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and the rest of their political ilk, have a hard enough time stringing simple sentences together, much less, coming up with a multilayered scheme for global domination. They simply lack the mental bandwidth to ruminate on that level of strategy.

Congressional Democrats think only terms of two-year blocks of time and their party’s immediate social-justice efforts. Unseating Trump, whether through unconstitutional efforts, phony investigations, and illegitimate impeachment show-trials, is only part of the larger machinations at hand.

What is at stake is the international “swamp” stepping up to shut nationalism down. President Trump represents a return to nationalism and the American supremacy that dominated the second half of the 20th-century. This is wholly unacceptable to globalists around the world, which includes leaders from Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Africa. Unseating him is primary in the sense of stopping any momentum he can get the nation to build upon, which is why this particular pandemic, is interesting. Compared to other pandemics (Spanish Flu, H1N1, MERS), the Coronavirus (Wuhan Flu) has both the mildest symptoms and reactions, as well as the lowest lethality rates of all the other major pandemics.

Yet, the international community’s response to this particular pandemic is the most severe we have seen in living memory. It makes you wonder, since the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, which saw sixty-million infections, three-hundred thousand hospitalizations, and almost two-thousand deaths, barely warranted a mention on the news.

Let me put this another way. If our media had treated this Coronavirus (Wuhan Flu) as if it did the 2009 H1N1 (Swine Flu), would you have noticed? Again, I am not downplaying the potential severity of it; I am simply asking a question as to the legitimacy of the present national and international response.

Yet, as of 24MAR2020, the US has 44,183 cases of infections and 544 deaths (Source-CDC). Most of these deaths were of people over the age of 70 and/or, already had underlying health conditions. The lethality rate globally is far higher, but that is in large part due to either the lack of adequate public health and access to medical facilities. Still, in terms of lethality, COVID19 (Wuhan Flu) is by a large measure, still less lethal than previous pandemics.

In response to the potential threat, the global economy began to ground to a halt. Many have argued that the reaction to this is most unwarranted and that the mandated cure (social distancing/quarantine) is worse than the disease. Tens of thousands of businesses are facing shutting down, putting millions at risk of unemployment, homelessness, and aggravating other medical issues they may have required employment and insurance to cover. Whole industries face solvency issues, in light of the present panic: airlines, cruise lines, travel, manufacturing, theme parks, sports, and service/hospitality industries are facing severe disruptions and varying forms of bankruptcies.

Did any of the exiting CEOs have any “insider knowledge” concerning what was coming last year, and decide to cash out ahead of the coming financial tsunami? As of March 2020, we do not know. Perhaps a whistleblower will step forward in the coming months, who can provide the truth regarding why so many CEOs have decided to remove themselves from the pinnacles of power just before the worst economic slowdown the US has seen since the Great Depression.

However, we do know some things.

We know that since the beginning of the 20th-century, power has historically and consistently becoming consolidated over the past 120 years. Every time a crisis happens, the little banks are bought out by the big banks. Big businesses buy out the little businesses. That has been the model since the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. The federal government has grown in power and authority. We know that the Bible states that in the last days, the world would go through birth pangs (Matthew 24:3-14). These birth pangs would build in frequency and intensity until the Rapture of the Church presents the world with its perfect crisis (1 Thess. 5:1-9). We know that a man known as ‘the lawless one’ or the ‘Antichrist,’ will rise to power who will control all of the buying and selling in the world. The False Prophet, who will aid him through supernatural signs and wonders will enforce his rule of law. This man is able to control all the buying and selling in the world, through a form of forced worship that embeds some form of technology onto the bearer’s forehead or hand (Revelation 13). However, what if the Mark of the Beast isn’t a currency per se, but simply the technological platform (e.g., blockchain?) by which all cryptocurrencies and information outlets are rendered useable? What if, without this technological “key” embedded in the bearer, nothing works? Eschatologists and prophecy students have long wondered how one man could control all buying and selling over the entire earth.

What if he didn’t have too?

What if the Antichrist just needed to control the technology, which opened all the doors to buying and selling?

Like a newer, more sinister version of Bill Gates, or Steve Jobs. If we married that thought of controlling access with the more recent suggestions by some that the Antichrist will be a hybrid of sorts, embedded with a form of artificial intelligence. If that were the case, he might easily garner control of a complex system (or system of systems), perhaps tied to a central quantum computing mainframe, that has the processing power to control numerous networks all at the same time. The only people who would have access to the system (to buy, sell, rent, go online, etc.) were people who have demonstrated loyalty to The Beast by permanently taking the mark.

If access by loyalty is what the mark of the beast represents that leaves only the logistics of getting everyone on board. At present, there are three major (and many minor) initiatives ongoing at the global level that seem to be pointing toward this very thing.

Global Network/ Infrastructure- (Project Kuiper, OneWeb) corporations and governments join to enshroud the earth with Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites supporting a global, 5G network

In a world divided between digital haves and have-nots, billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson are trying to close the gap. The three entrepreneurs separately aim to launch thousands of small satellites to zip around the globe in what is known as low-Earth orbit, or LEO. Their plan is to prosper by offering high-end data services to stock traders and others willing to pay richly to shave a few milliseconds off their transmission times. The satellites should also deliver high-speed internet coverage for regions too poor or remote to attract it on the ground. Neither result is certain. Startup costs in the billions of dollars are. (Source)

With OneWeb, it doesn’t matter where you are. Soon everybody will have access to high speed, reliable Internet. We are a pioneering company building the first global communications network to be powered by a constellation of low-Earth-orbit satellites and will be providing connectivity to people and businesses everywhere around the world. Available from 2021. (Source)

Global Currency- (Sovereign Sky) a space-based, blockchain global, digital currency

The Planet’s first space-based superfast blockchain powering the new “Free World Currency” designed to redistribute the world’s wealth to provide and protect our children, save and preserve our wildlife and aim to help eradicate global poverty. (Source)

Stage 1: “Connectivity” boxes will be distributed by charities to villages and people in need throughout the world.

Stage 2: Satellites connect to the Modems and the Antenna.

Stage 3: The modems convert the satellite signal to Wi-Fi which the phones pickup.

Stage 4: The idea is to create a global Wi-Fi network and establish a space-based digital “Free World Currency” to help redistribute the world’s wealth to the less fortunate and help support the one billion children worldwide who live in poverty. (Source)

Global Identity- (ID2020) a global initiative with numerous, international organization, seeking to implant every person on the planet with biometric technology

Combining the power of biometrics and blockchain to provide a global identity solution (Source)

On Friday, 20 May 2016, ID2020 – a strategic, global initiative launched in response to the Sustainable Development Goal 16.9: “provide legal identity to all, including birth registration, by 2030”, in collaboration with the United Nations Office for Partnerships, hosted the “ID2020 Summit – Harnessing Digital Identity for the Global Community” at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.

Around one-fifth of the world’s population (1.8 billion people) is without legal identity, which deprives them of access to healthcare, schools, shelter, justice, and other government services. Commonly affected groups include refugees displaced by war, territorial disputes, victims of famine, societal outcasts, global disorder, political instability, competition for resources and climate change. (Source)

What is of interest to us today is that the Bible foretold all of this some two-thousand years ago. Note the underlined in the passage below and the corresponding parenthesis noting what we just finished discussing. While we do not yet know the meaning of 666 beyond its stated meaning in Revelation, and its historical, biblical connection to the weight of King Solomon’s gold (1 Kings 10:14), at least both instances have a tangible connection to wealth. The Greek word for calculate is psēphizō and it means to either count or to vote. Perhaps this 666 is something people willingly vote for in a moment of crisis (like say after the Rapture of the Church). We know that the Rapture will remove tens of millions of believers off the face of the earth in a moment. That will have significant global economic and political ramifications, far beyond what a pandemic could do.

He causes all (denotes absolute authority), both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one (access) may buy or sell (commerce) except one (loyalty) who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name (some form of technology). Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. Revelation 13:16-18

Maranatha!

TL;DR

I would suspect they are taking their golden parachutes and jumping ship; something they can do, unlike the average person...

Bob Iger is pulling a rope-a-dope. He saw the disaster for Disney coming and stepped down as CEO but remained as chairman. His designated heir will get fired when the numbers tank and Iger will graciousy allow himself to be drafted to take back the CEO seat.

Basically he's executing the Hillary 2020 campaign plan.

You have to find out who gets invited to the Davos After Party.

You don’t “implant biometric technology”. The point of biometrics is to use physical characteristics (fingerprints, iris, facial recognition) to identify individuals. That’s why the futurist interpretation of Revelation which identifies the “mark of the beast” with an implanted chip is already passe. Nobody needs a chip anymore. Governments, if they want to, can already identify you by things like your fingers, eyes, and face.

Not all of these departures are sinister. Oscar Muñoz (United), for example, has had very serious health problem stretching over the past couple of years. He took at least one extended leave of absence to undergo treatment. And the Englishman Easterbrook (McDonald’s) resigned some time ago — before WuFlu was a twinkling in Xi’s inscrutable eyes — in the wake of a rather nasty sex scandal.

Then YOU explain this verse.

Revelation 13:16-17 Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.

Because a hips explains it very well.

“Roman Catholic Church”

Well, a few rogue elements of the Catholic Church, including the occupant of a certain tarnished throne.

I would err on the side of how the Bible describes it all! The book of Revelation only takes about an hour to read and besides the Lord promises blessings to those who read and hear it. Have a listen!

You explain it. But, if you think it has a future referent, you need to explain it within the constraints of what we already know to be true today, not with assumptions that would have been valid five or ten years ago, but which no longer make sense.

I'm quite familiar with the Book of Revelation, having read it many times, and having listened to formal Bible studies of it by Scripture scholars.

I don't assume that it was exclusively written to describe events far in the future. In fact, it explicitly says that that's not what it's about (v 1:1).

The Roman Catholic Church and it's leadership are complicit with wanting a Global Religion and Gov't - led by themselves of course. And it's not just current occupants.

I see no reason to not think it’s a biochip like the kind that’s already in use.

Your disagreeing with it and not proving an alternative explanation is not a very convincing argument.

If you can’t provide a reasonable explanation, nobody is obligated in the least to take a *You’re wrong* basically because you said so.

And I’ve noticed that Catholics are really good at that, always telling others they are wrong but never offering what they consider to be correct.

And it's far from unusual for Scripture and prophecy to have dual fulfillment, one for the present and one for the future concerning the reign of Christ.

When in the past have armies ever had numbers over 200 million & killed 1/3 of all humanity on Earth after the Church was established? (Revelation 9)

When in the past has a Global Cult Leader ever had the technology to “give life” (AI/Robotics/Transhumanism?) to an image of a leader and that image could actually kill people who refused?

Furthermore, did Rome ever have the ability to implement a chip or “mark” on Mayans or Japanese and forced them to do the above?

(Revelation 13:14-17)

You can prove this or anything else in Revelation (except 1-3) has happened in the past if you seriously want to stick with the facts.

Quite the piece.

Bill Gates hasn't been CEO of Microsoft for 20 years and was never CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Does the author understand the difference between CEO and board member?

... a return to nationalism and the American supremacy that dominated the second half of the 20th-century. This is wholly unacceptable to globalists around the world...

Say what? The second half of last century was the Golden Age for globalists.

...small satellites to zip around the globe in what is known as low-Earth orbit, or LEO. Their plan is to prosper by offering high-end data services to stock traders and others willing to pay richly to shave a few milliseconds off their transmission times.

Any trader looking to use satellites to shave time off of a transaction is going to go broke.

High frequency traders co-locate with the exchange data centers to gain milliseconds. They don't go relaying the data through space.
