Total Surveillance
Electronic surveillance: it's everywhere and it's growing. Has the
demand for and use of electronic surveillance increased? Yes! The
rapid changes in telecommunications technology has been
accompanied by a growth in the potential intrusiveness of electronic
surveillance and a steady increase in government surveillance
activity. Surveillance is the monitoring of behavior of people, objects
or processes within systems for conformity to expected or desired
norms. Because they're continually making new discoveries to
increase the effectiveness of biometrics, rfid chips, etc., the
government may soon be tracking us all. Because they're continually

Fascism
Adolf Hilter used the power of propaganda. He railed against things
that he knew the people feared and perceived as threats. In return,
those who followed him began to treat Hitler with almost religious
adoration. After Martial law was declared in Berlin, the people all
over Germany turned to "Fuhrer worship”. Next came the elections of
March 5, 1933, then the Nazis began a systematic takeover of the
state governments throughout Germany, ending a centuries old
tradition of local political independence. Armed SA and SS thugs
barged into local government offices using the state of emergency
decree as a pretext to throw out legitimate office holders and replace
them with Nazi Reich commissioners. On March 23, the Nazi
controlled Reichstag passed the "Enabling Act." This act finally
established Adolph Hitler as the total Dictator of Germany. After this,
the "Gleichschaltung" (Synchronizing) began – the total coordination
and absorption of the entire nation under the Nazi boot. Check out
the text of the Patriot Act enacted since 9/11 (PDF file).

Because of this antichrist and his false prophet: all, both small and
great, rich and poor, free and slave, will receive a mark on their right
hand or on their foreheads,
so that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark, or the
name of the beast, or the number of his name. Rev 13:16-17 This
mark, which is usually called the "mark of the beast," will place
everyone in peril. Complying will ignite the wrath of God and result in
a person being cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 14:9-11 Not
complying will ignite the wrath of the antichrist and result in a person
being beheaded. Revelation 20:4 Everyone will have to decide
whether or not to take the mark. Cooperation will open the door for a
person to obtain food, water, medicine, housing, electricity, clothing
and more. But not cooperating will prevent a person from obtaining
the necessities of life. There will be widespread famine. This mark of
the beast is why so many prophecy experts talk about the coming
"cashless society." They know that a system will be needed to track
all buying and selling. They also know that computers can do that if
every transaction is scanned. So they believe money will be replaced
by a computerized scanning system that will make the infamous
mark of the beast both practical and plausible. Fingerprint scanners,
voice print scanners, eye scanners, computerized smart cards and
implanted computer chips are already a reality that is only step away
from what the Bible predicted almost 2,000 years ago. Through the
books of Revelation and Daniel God gives us a thorough description
of the antichrist of Bible prophecy. It is important to identify the
antichrist because from it will come the sign, or "mark", of it's
authority. Against this mark, "the mark of the beast", or the mark of
the authority of the antichrist, comes one of the Bible's strongest
prohibitions. If any man worship the beast and his image, and
receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 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. Revelation 14:9-10
Biometrics
Biometrics refers to the automatic identification of a person based
on his/her physiological or behavioral characteristics. This method of
identification offers several advantages over traditional methods
involving ID cards (tokens) or PIN numbers (passwords) for various
reasons: (i) the person to be identified is required to be physically
present at the point-of-identification; (ii) identification based on
biometric techniques obviates the need to remember a password or
carry a token. With the increased integration of computers and
Internet into our everyday lives, it is necessary to protect sensitive
and personal data. By replacing PINs (or using biometrics in addition
to PINs), biometric techniques can potentially prevent unauthorized
access to ATMs, cellular phones, laptops, and computer
networks. Unlike biometric traits, PINs or passwords may be
forgotten, and tokens like passports and driver's licenses may be
forged, stolen, or lost.
Thus, biometric systems are being deployed to enhance security and
reduce financial fraud. Various biometric traits are being used for
real-time recognition, the most popular being face, iris and
fingerprint. However, there are biometric systems that are based on
retinal scan, voice, signature and hand geometry.
Pay by touch
A Bay Area company backed by the Gordon P. Getty Family Trust and
headed by former eBizWorld.com sees biometrics as key to secure
transactions. These days, it seems everything from working out at
the gym to picking up a gallon of milk at the local market requires a
card -- or two. Fed up with fumbling around the bottom of a purse for
plastic payment or flipping through a weighty wallet for store loyalty
cards, consumers could embrace a new technology that puts
purchasing power at their fingertips. That's the vision of Pay By
Touch, founder John Rogers and IBM veteran John Morris. The
company, which Mr. Rogers started in 2002, develops a biometric
payment system that enables people to link their fingerprint to their
bank or credit card account and leave their wallet at home. It is part
of a revolution that is turning the human body into the ultimate
identification card.
NEC Corporation of America, a premier provider of IT, network and
telephony solutions, announced the City of Huntsville, Alabama
Police Department selected its Automated Fingerprint Identification
System (AFIS) with palm print matching to dramatically enhance its
ability to quickly and reliably identify crime-scene prints and match
them to city and state databases. The City of Huntsville Police
Department NEC AFIS is pre-loaded with electronically-converted
fingerprint images from the Alabama Bureau of Investigation (ABI)
system, to immediately search local records, and expand the search
to the statewide database in the absence of matches at a local level.

The Coming New World Order Biometrics, Rfid Chips, And National
Id Cards: Tomorrow maybe the mark of the beast?
The New World Order
Total Surveillance. Imagine a future in which a signal emitting rfid storing your personal
information is tattooed on or implanted beneath your skin and all identifiable with the swipe
of a scanner. This is exactly what the soon coming Antichrist will do! This Antichrist will force
everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand
or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the
name of the beast or the number of his name. Revelation 13: 16, 17
Did you know that Saint Louis based Somark Innovations successfully
tested an "RFID tattoo" on cows and rats? Yes indeed, tattoo, not the ol'
RFID chip found in passports, dogs, and Dutch VIP clubbers. Somark's
system uses an array of needles to inject a passive RFID ink which can be
read through the hair on your choice of beast. The ink can be either invisible
or colored but Somark is keeping mum as to its exact contents. They only
say that it doesn't contain any metals and is 100% biocompatible and
chemically inert. The tattoo can be applied in 5 to 10 seconds with no
shaving involved and can be read from up to 4 feet away -- the bigger the
tattoo, the more information stored. Best of it all, it's apparently safe for
humans to ingest allowing the FDA to track back Mad Cow Disease, e-coli
outbreaks, and Soylent Green. Don't worry, they can't track you just as long
as you chew your food like mama taught. However, with "military personnel"
listed as Somark's "secondary target market," well, it's just a matter of time
before we're all cattle now isn't it.
The Verichip
VeriChip is a human-implantable
RFID (radio frequency identification)
device from VeriChip Corporation.
The VeriChip is the first Food and
Drug Administration (FDA)-
approved human-implantable RFID
microchip. VeriChip received United
States FDA approval in 2004. About
twice the length of a grain of rice,
the device is typically implanted
above the triceps area of an
individual’s right arm. Once scanned at the proper frequency, the VeriChip
responds with a unique 16-digit number which can correlate the user to
information stored on a database for identity verification, medical records
access and other uses. The insertion procedure is performed under local
anesthetic and once inserted, is invisible to the naked eye. The process can
easily be performed in a physician’s office.
Biometric Technology
Before long, we may use fingerprints, iris scans, and voice recognition to log
onto computers, buy groceries -- even when picking up kids from school.
This could be you: At a convenience store, a scanner reads your fingerprints
and deducts the price of a coffee and doughnut from your checking account.
Once at the office, your employer uses software to monitor the rhythm of
your typing or a Webcam to measure the proportions of your face before
letting you onto the network. Your call to customer service won't go through
until you're identified by the cadence of your voice.

Status: Widely available at ATMs and other locations in Japan. U.S. launch
expected this year The PalmSecure bombards the user's hand with "near
infrared" light to detect the pattern of blood vessels. Fujitsu is close-lipped
about a U.S. debut expected later this year but says PalmSecure could be
useful in health care and for granting access to buildings.
Let Your Fingers Do the Paying
What: Pay By Touch Measures: Fingerprints Status: available in certain
grocery stores. Soon through an as-yet-undisclosed e-tailer Sample
customers: Supervalu, Albertson's, Piggly Wiggly. Used by several retailers,
Pay By Touch may be the most prominent biometric device in the U.S.
Shoppers enrolled in the program can speed through checkout lines, paying
for items with a linked bank account or credit card simply by applying a
fingerprint to a sensor. Pay By Touch says more than 2 million people have
signed up. Now the company plans to expand into online retail, using
sensors available on some laptops.
Rfid Technology
BY BILL SALISBURY
Driver's licenses are one of the state's most important forms of identification,
he said, and biometric technology will help law enforcement officers ensure
that individuals are who they say they are.
The new technology would match an individual's driver's license photo with
images in the state's database.
The face scans will enable the state to detect people attempting to obtain
licenses using the same photo with multiple names and birth dates, or the
same name and birth date with multiple people's photos, said state Public
Safety Commissioner Michael Campion. "The technology … will create a
higher level of integrity for Minnesota's driver's licenses."
Pawlenty said 13 other states use the technology, and it has proved "highly
accurate."
No new photos will be needed to develop the state's face-scan file. State
workers will scan photos on current driver's licenses to create the new file.
The new technology will cost about $1 to $2 per driver's license. Pawlenty
said an $800,000 federal grant will offset these costs and that he will ask the
2006 Legislature to pay the rest.
Although he believes he has the power to implement the new system on his
own, he said he would ask the Legislature to approve it.
For Minnesota retailers, the new technology means customers will be far less
likely to try to use fake identification cards to make purchases, especially of
alcoholic beverages and tobacco products, said Steve Rush, board
chairman of the Minnesota Retailers Association. Businesses will not have
equipment to read the face scans, however; only the state will have that
ability.
Has the demand for and use of electronic surveillance increased? The rapid
changes in telecommunications technology has been accompanied by a
growth in the potential intrusiveness of electronic surveillance and a steady
increase in government surveillance activity. Surveillance is the monitoring
of behavior of people, objects or processes within systems for conformity to
expected or desired norms. Although the word surveillance literally means
"watching over" the term is often used for all forms of observation or
monitoring, not just visual observation. Such as the art of watching over the
activities of persons or groups from a position of higher authority.
Surveillance may be covert (without a persons knowledge) or overt (perhaps
with frequent reminders such as "we are watching over you"). Because
they're continually making new discoveries to increase the effectiveness of
biometrics, rfid chips, etc., the government may soon be tracking us all.

Biometrics
Face Scan
A computer that could recognize faces
as readily as people can and would
make the ideal aid for spotting and
tracking known terrorists and
criminals on streets or in
transportation stations. But face-
recognition systems aren't as reliable
as law-enforcement officials would
like. Identix (IDNX) and other suppliers
are making steady progress. Identix
says that, by combining the usual face
scan with an inspection of pores and
wrinkles in small blocks of skin,
reliability is improved by at least 25%,
to better than 90%.
Iris Scan
The Eyes Have It. Probably the most
foolproof biometric measure is the
eye's iris. Its complex pattern of
zigzagging lines and random dots is
much more distinctive than the whorls
of a fingerprint. In fact, because
authorities in a few foreign countries
are confident that iris scans can't be
circumvented, they're starting to allow
airlines to use iris scanning at selected
airports. If people register their iris
scans, they can bypass the usual
security check. Currently, a person's
eye must be in close to the scanner.
Intelligence and law-enforcement
agencies hope that some way can be
found to scan irises from a distance --
or even to spot a suspect in a crowd.
There are two different ways to recognize a person: verification and identification.
Verification (Am I who I claim I am?) involves confirming or denying a person's
claimed identity. On the other hand, in identification, the system has to recognize a
person (Who am I? ) from a list of N users in the template database. Identification is a
more challenging problem because it involves 1:N matching compared to 1:1
matching for verification.
Applications:
False Christs/prophets (Matthew 24:4; 24:11): "For many will come in my name,
claiming, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many," "...and many false prophets will
appear and deceive many people." This sign may be fulfilled by the proliferation of
cults in our modern world; those who claim to have been given new revelations.
Wars and Rumors of Wars (Matthew 24:6): "Your will hear of wars and rumors of
wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is
still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom."
The worldwide dissemination of the Gospel (Matthew 24:14): "And this gospel of the
kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then
the end will come." The sharing of the Good News by evangelists, missionaries, and
individual witnesses, whether in person, or via radio, TV, or the Internet, are
fulfillments of this sign.
The Sign of Noah (Matthew 24:37-39): "As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at
the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people ?were eating
and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark;
and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them
all away." The rise of commercial culture and consumer society, anything that takes
up time and fills the daily life of people to such an extent that they have little time for
God and are not aware of the signs of the Lord's return.
Signs and wonders in the heavens (Luke 21:11): "There will be...great signs from
heaven..." Meteors, and other signs and wonders in the skies are fulfillments of this
prophecy.
Pestilence (Luke 21:11): "There will be...pestilences in various places..." The spread
of diseases, viruses and plagues are clear fulfillments of this prophecy.
Generated by www.PDFonFly.com
Fearful Events (Luke 21:11): "There will be...fearful events..." Large scale events
which generate fear and anxiety and contribute to a general feeling that things are out
of control, events that in their severity may turn people back to God, and the
realizaiton that He is still in control. Natural disasters, floods, tornados, cyclones,
weather extremes and the rise of 24 hour coverage of "news events" may all be
fulfillments of this prophecy.
Signs in the Sun, Moon, and Stars (Luke 21:25): "There will be signs in the sun,
moon and stars." The onset of Solar Max, solar storms and flares, variations in lunar
luminosity, eclipses, and recent Hubble discoveries of new stars and galaxies may be
fulfillments of this prophecy.
Fear and Apprehension for the Future (Luke 21:26): "Men will faint from terror,
apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken."
This prophecy clearly suggests that people will be aware, at the end time, of an event
that will come upon the world, an event that will generate terror and apprehension.
Things upon which people had an unshakable certainty will be shaken, causing many
to fear for the future. Y2K hysteria, global warming, species extinction, the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and similar global concerns may be
fulfillment of this prophecy.
The establishment of a new Jewish Temple (Daniel 9:27; Matthew 24:15): "So when
you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes desolation,' spoken of
through the prophet Daniel, then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains."
The growth of world community (Revelation 11:9): "For three and a half days men
from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse
them burial. The inhabitants of the earth will gloat over them and will celebrate by
sending each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented those who live on
the earth."?
Mark of the Beast - advances in biometrics and smart card technology that would
facilitate the mark of the beast (Revelation 13:16-18), the number of man, 666: "He
[the second beast] also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and
slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy
or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his
name."
The disposition of military forces in and around Jerusalem (Ezekiel 38:8; Zechariah
12; Luke 21:20; Revelation 19:19): "In future years, you [Gog] will invade a land that
has recovered from war, whose people were gathered from many nations to the
mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate. They had been brought out from
any nations, and now all of them live in safety. You and all your troops and the many
nations with you will go up, advancing like a storm; you will be like a cloud covering

the land."
"I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that sends all the surrounding peoples reeling.
Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem. On that day, when all the nations of the
earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the
nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves...On that day, the Lord will
shield those who live in Jerusalem...On that day, I will set out to destroy all the
nations that attack Jerusalem."
"When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its
desolation is near."
"Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to
make war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured and
with him the false prophet who had performed the miraculous signs on his behalf."
Revelation, Chapter 13
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like
a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast
before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first
beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he
maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14 And
deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had
power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they
should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast
should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the
beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free
and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no
man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the
number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the
number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred
threescore and six.
