The Mark of the Beast

Tracking will actually give you freedom, because you will be able to operate normally unless you come in contact with someone infected. You already have no privacy except that granted by the government and tech companies. The key is to elect governments that don't use information about you against you -- it's already too late to prevent them from getting the information.

Agreed. Simply being in possession of a smartphone guarantees that you're sharing personal information with the carrier and whoever wrote the apps on it, plus the government. You don't get a say in it. Big question is what those entities do with it. If it's libertarians collecting it, they're just going to sell it to the highest bidder. Libertarians are not altruists any more than the other political tribes.

damn.
that sounds like George Orwell and the novel 1984.

Well I do have a smart phone. One of the phone companies gave it to me about eight years ago. It’s still in the bottom of the drawer I threw it in eight years ago. I have several dumb phones but I’ve never carried one into a strip club and never will.

I use a credit card for airline tickets, occasional hotels and rarely rental cars but that’s it. Cash for everything else. I don’t even have an ATM card.

Besides TUSCL, I have no social media presence, never have, never will.

I have no reason to hide anything from those I know but I value my privacy and resist all attempts of others trying to own me in any way. No one can “give” you freedom, you either claim it or you cede it. But that’s just me (and I think that may be literally true lol).

And I do know I can’t hope to live under the radar forever but with luck I will be able to out run the future for a while longer. Glad I lived when I did.

But on topic, how many fewer people are going to be willing to go to strip clubs if there is a record of their visit available for all time? I know some people don’t care but I think a large number may have second thoughts if they can no longer be sneaking around. We shall see…

Speaking of the Beast, I ran into this article last night regarding Big Bro, privacy, control of the populace, etc.
It's long and rambling at times but the synchronicity of past and present is mind boggling.

Here are a few excerpts..

> The sorcerers of Silicon have no respect for you – Bill Gates and others like him are not in the business of the sanctity of humanity – they are in league in creating their own simulated apocalypse that mocks the various prophecies that many that believe in the Abrahamic religions have read for millennia.
Microsoft has filed for a patent for a new cryptocurrency mining system that will purportedly leverage the data collected from people via sensors, as they interact with advertising or exercise, instead of using equipment that require massive amounts of power.
Microsoft filed the patent with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on March 26. The new system proposes using sensors to detect and calculate the amount of energy and time spent on a pre-determined activity, like engaging with an advertisement, and convert that sum into data which can be used by computers to solve computational problems and create new blocks.
Microsoft’s new proposed system will maintain a blockchain and its token using the same premise as a traditional proof-of-work network without the physical miners and without the heavy computational power expense of their equipment, substituting it with the data gathered and converted from the unconscious activity of people.
The system will monitor a person’s physical actions and energy spent via sensors to mine cryptocurrencies. When the sensors detect that the monitored body is exerting themselves physically, it converts the data recorded on the subject and converts them to power to unlock blocks. The system is also purported to monitor mental exertion, mind power used when a person is reading or writing, and convert this into data respectively.

It is a microchip patent that is numbered WO/2020/060606.

Ironic isn’t it that the patent number ends with 666.
Former CEO of Microsoft Bill Gates has been popping up regularly in the media since the coronavirus pandemic began, determined to help the world by developing and distributing a vaccine to the global population.
He also recommends that local governments include contact tracing in order to ensure that we find those who have COVID-19 and possibly force them into quarantine or worse.
Google and apple have been on board with smart phone systems that can give warnings to people who are near someone that might be infected.
There is even a bill being presented to provide money for those who wish to trace or track people.
In all of its sick and twisted irony, H. R. 6666 would nationalize contact tracing, followed by interrogation and the removal of everyone “infected” or having contact with an infected person to a “quarantine center.”
The bill, introduced by Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Il) states that its pupose is to :
“To authorize the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to eligible entities to conduct diagnostic testing for COVID-19, and related activities such as contact tracing, through mobile health units and, as necessary, at individuals’ residences, and for other purposes.”

Written with the usual ambiguity, this bill basically gives the government the authority to do whatever it wants under the guise of “the public good” using COVID-19 as an excuse. The bill has 47 co-sponsors — all Democrats.

The recent ironies of the patent 060606 and the house bill 6666 have a lot of people wondering if these Identification patents and laws are not pushing is to take what would be a chip or a tattoo that they fear is the mark of the beast.

There was also an article that ran ironically enough in the Daily Beast that openly talked about Bill Gates’ new technology that would be developed in order to identify the infected and the vaccinated. The beast was actually mocking people who believed that what gates was developing was technology that sounds like the Mark of the Beast.
The Beast claimed that right wing conspiracy theorists believe that Gates is somehow developing a tracking device to pair with any coronavirus vaccine. Some right-wing figures have even claimed Gates is developing the “mark of the Beast” predicted in the Book of Revelation. In fact, Gates’ foundation funded research in 2016 into using invisible ink to track child vaccination in developing countries, long before the coronavirus pandemic.
While there so far is no proof that Gates will put a chip or a nano spec in hos vaccines – his would be difficult there is evidence that there is invisible ink that can be used in the vaccine.
Last December Scientific American reported that a group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers has developed a way to track kids as to whether or not they have gotten their vaccines.
Along with the vaccine, a child would be injected with a bit of dye that is invisible to the naked eye but easily seen with a special cell-phone filter, combined with an app that shines near-infrared light onto the skin. The dye would be expected to last up to five years, according to tests on pig and rat skin and human skin in a dish.
The key hear is wondering what kind of dye will be used that will be able to create bioluminescence under the skin when scanned?

The ingredient is called LUCIFERACE.

Patents and bill with the sixes and a protein called Luciferase seem to be an obvious mocking of the eschaton.
Microchip technology has since replaced the UPC code as the most likely candidate for the introduction of a cashless society and thus the mark of the beast. While there have been various experiments with human microchipping on a limited basis, there remains a strong objection to the development only partly for biblical reasons. Others are deeply uneasy over the potential for intrusive surveillance and whether such technology would be forced on the public. In response, several states have passed legislation forbidding companies from requiring employees to be microchipped for their internal security systems.
However, Bill Gates continues to push the idea of digital certificates for Identification and tracking and the media has made him a hero.

“But on topic, how many fewer people are going to be willing to go to strip clubs if there is a record of their visit available for all time?“

Yeah, I read this article today. :/ And South Korea is currently held up as the model of everything being done correctly at the moment.

Also, good link OSU. I do wonder at a surveillance state as well in the future. But then again, one major data breach “pandemic” or two in the future will probably cause people to rebel against that. It will be an interesting future.

baby doc. you’re one of a few. The rest of us have a track record.

Just turn off the phone....

If people believe big government is helpful and we won't lose freedoms over this, then you don't recall the words that apply to what's just happened: When more than fifty percent of the populace is reliant upon government for their support, democracy is over.

@theeosu -i started reading your post til I got the part about the World Intellectual Property Organization. The WIPO doesn’t administer patents nor accept filings. They are a UN org that is involved in IP disputes between countries. Seems like your story is another conspiracy theory spun by someone who likes to use big words and official sounding names to fool people into believing false things.

Mark Twain said “it is easier to fool people than it is to convince them they have been fooled”

They already are tracking us. One of the news stories the middle of last month mentioned that they noticed people were relaxing social distancing based off cell phone data. When I heard that, my privacy alarm went off.

"@theeosu -i started reading your post til I got the part about the World Intellectual Property Organization. The WIPO doesn’t administer patents nor accept filings."
"Mark Twain said “it is easier to fool people than it is to convince them they have been fooled”"


Really now? Then what's this right off their website?

The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) assists applicants in seeking patent protection internationally for their inventions, helps patent offices with their patent granting decisions, and facilitates public access to a wealth of technical information relating to those inventions.
By filing one international patent application under the PCT, applicants can simultaneously seek protection for an invention in a large number of countries.

Who's really been fooled here?
