In Brussells, Belgium is the center of the biggest computer database in the world. It has been a work in progress since mid-70’s, it can hold all of the world’s data for each human being. My mother had a real estate business for twenty years in WV...she sold a piece of real estate to a man who worked there for years...he told her the nickname of that huge (many city blocks) monstracity was “THE BEAST”..it gave real pause regarding scripture. ...it may not be The Beast of the Bible, but who knows for sure, if it controls all of our data.

That particular urban legend has been around since the early 1970's. It was nonsense then, and it is nonsense now.

When i was younger, and more impressionable, i drove around Brussels for three days looking for this super computer that took up three square city blocks. IT DID NOT EXIST THEN, DOES NOT EXIST NOW, AND WILL NOT EXIST IN THE FUTURE.

There is no need for such a thing to exist. The power of a good high end PC or network thereof would hold all of the necessary data for the purpose you state. It could be housed in a small office.

It existed in the 1970’s, because the man was an engineer there, and since technology has changed it could be in a huge building now, but believe me it existed...it was not an urban legend. I told you a truthful fact, and whatever happened between then and now does not negate the truth...no matter how many trips you took to Belgium. The reason for that is that Bill Gates, Microsoft was in the News a couple of years ago for a conference there.
