Not long before it’s a convenient little biochip placed under the skin.

Bet it comes to Walmart and/or other stores

Convenient. Secure. Theft-proof.

Conditioning.

Intentional or not, it will make no difference.

Revelation 14:9-12
King James Version

9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,

10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Will it able to tell if you washed your hands before scanning? I suppose DNA scanners will be next.

palm-reading payment

Just a tip. Don’t say you want your palm red.

It’s optional. Do it if you want. Or don’t.

In the words of another of today’s articles “Will we go gently into that dark night?”
Convenience is sometimes a slippery slope with unforeseen consequences. How easy to digitize a person, herd & control them with the knowledge obtained.

Yeah, today it is

I’m sure you’ve heard of the boiling frog apologue right?

Convenience is the bait in which the true poison is concealed.

An unfortunate recent trend among some websites of finance, is that they are scanning your finger tip print - when your touch lingers on the Internet browser website window displayed in the screen of your handheld mobile device.

Biometric reCAPTCHA tooling, being used when you are not aware.

So your finger tip print is included in development of your profile that ends up in the wilderness of the marketplace where your identity is sold.

We should fight this with tooth-n-nail.

Can’t recall the title but I read an autobiography of a Soviet artillery officer in WW2. In the first few chapters he speaks of his childhood. His family lived in Ukraine and survived the Holodomor. He stated the way the Communists selectively starved many and fed some was very effective and simple. Everyone was issued ration cards by the state, all restaurants and stores were policed by military and one had to present the card to enter. Those selected to die were limited or refused.

His family was Jewish and had connections to the communist party so they were admitted and allowed to buy food profusely. Now don’t think me a Jew hater and conspiracy nut. I listen to several conservative talk shows and my favorite ones are mostly Jews:
Michael Savage
Ben Shapiro
Andrew Klavan and more.
However even a light search will reveal the close connections between Jewish people and the birth of Bolshevism.

So basically this method could be used on us through chips etc.

Elegantly said. If you do not object I will adopt the phrase as my tagline : )
