ED: Both
the subdermal chip and the e-ID card are applied in stages.
Final Stage: condemned
"No, one chip does it all.Obviously the main application is
the medical. It can also be used for security, and in a few
instances in Europe right now it’s actually used for financial
transactions and financial applications But
what’s key here is that the main element of “privacy or
security” is really control.And our system was built, our
chip was built (the hardware, the scanner, and the database) for
you, the VeriChip subscriber.You’re the person with the
VeriChip and you have control over the database and control over
who gets access to that database." Ed : the proof is in the pudding
"So, when you look at the normal areas of privacy concerns,
such as credit cards for example—one could make an argument
that because of the way our system is set up, that our system is
more secure than your credit card or even your access card into
your building or apartment because it’s in
your arm, it’s with you all the time, it’s tamper
proof, it’s secure, and no one can take that number and use
it to their advantage unless you want them to.While with your
credit card, for example, I could take a credit card out of your
wallet, walk into a Wal-Mart, spend a hundred dollars and nine
times out of ten I’m going to
get away with it." Ed: not so;
biometric verification cancels all that.
Ed: Equating smart card with
Verichip
* "So whether
it’s biometrics, whether it’s a smart
card of sorts, a tamper-proof visa or a VeriChip
*
related to those things, I think the VeriChip is a very logical
technology to use for that"

Net 1 ebanking - May 27, 2006
Net1 provides its universal electronic payment
system, or UEPS, as an alternative payment system
for the unbanked and under-banked populations of developing
economies. Net1 believes that it is the first
company worldwide to implement a system that can enable the
estimated four billion people who
generally have limited or no access to a bank account to enter
affordably into electronic transactions with each other,
government agencies, employers, merchants and other financial
service providers.
To accomplish this, Net1 has developed and deployed the UEPS.
This system uses secure smart cards that
operate in real-time but offline, unlike
traditional payment systems offered by major banking institutions
that require immediate access through a communications network to
a centralized computer.
This offline capability means that users of Net1's system can
enter into transactions at any time with other card holders in
even the most remote areas so long as a portable offline smart
card reader is available. In addition to payments and purchases,
Net1's system can be used for banking, health care management,
international money transfers, voting and identification.

Biometric verification: finger-vein ID .... inside the body
"Hitachi forecasts that within two
years [ 2008] it will be able to provide
finger-vein ID small enough to fit into
mobile phones, eventually relieving users of the need to carry
cash or credit cards.
According to a Hitachi spokesman, the company’s researchers
are developing phones that will recognise the identity of the
owner as soon as their fingers touch the
handset. Everyone has unique vein patterns
in each finger that is a far more accurate
indicator of identity than a fingerprint"
"A big advantage of finger vein recognition
for mobile phone payments is that it is the only biometric
identification system to use an internal body
characteristic that is visible externally.

VIP Authentification Device from VeriSign -- Feb. 14,
2006
VeriSign on Monday unveiled a new
security system to protect online buyers
from identity theft, and said it had signed up PayPal, eBay,
and Yahoo as the first sites to support the authentication
service.
Called VeriSign Identity Protection (VIP),
the system will let consumers use a single security
device to authenticate themselves to any VIP-enabled
Web site. Using a shared authentication network operated by
VeriSign, VIP allows e-tailing sites and
enterprises to provide customers or users with one authentication
credential --
perhaps a USB-based token
[ click link here]
that plugs into the computer -- for verifying identity
VeriSign said it hoped to attract financial organizations
such as banks and brokerage houses,
Internet providers, and e-commerce sites to the network, where
costs would be shared and the cost of stronger authentication
brought down to a reasonable price.
VeriSign has been pushing tokens as a way to provide two-factor
authentication, as has rival RSA Security.
Both eBay's PayPal and VeriSign will sell or give away
authentication tokens for VIP. VeriSign plans to sell token
devices directly to consumers through a Web portal to go live
this summer. Yahoo, meanwhile, will let VIP-compliant devices
authenticate users of its portals for such services as e-mail and
storage.
Parts of the VIP network are available now, while others -- such
as a fraud intelligence network -- will debut in four to six
months.
http://www.informationweek.com/news/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=180200783&subSection=Columns
VERISIGN, whose software
helps prevent identity theft on the Internet, said it would work
with eBay and Yahoo to create a network that makes online shopping more
secure. VeriSign will provide network participants
with electronic devices that confirm
shoppers' identities and give them access to
the network, VeriSign said.
The devices will initially be distributed to consumers by eBay's PayPal
unit. (Bloomberg)--IHT Feb. 14, 2006

Verichip
and e-commerce
Personal comment: Have
you noticed how the media is going all-out to show how VeriChip
can easily be cloned and that it is NOT encrypted ? This bad
press comes at the same time that the Administration is pushing
for "smart card " ID that claims to be the ultimate in
security with unhackable encryption.
Perhaps the negative press given to VeriChip will further the
acceptance by everyone for preferring a smart card ID
( REAL ID ). After all, smart cards are far more advanced than a
subdermal chip. Smart Cards can perform financial transactions
and have multiple applications. VeriChip is extremely limited in
that it can only reflect a number.
Yet both have the potential for 666 purchasing which is forbidden
in the Bible. Rev. 14: 9-11.
VeriChip linked with financial data -- July 26, 2006

Verichip poised for financial
transactions
( Ed: and they sure can't scan the inside of
your arm at the grocery store scanner )
Scott Silverman: "I think it depends
on what you want the database to be. Today, in 2006, the primary
reason for the database is clearly the medical records and the
medical applications. If you decide to use it in lieu
of your smartcard to get into your building, again,
that’s a decision that you make as the person that has the
VeriChip to use it for a security application."
" If, down
the road, it turns into a financial transactional source, and you make the decision to use it for that, whether
it be a credit card or an ATM (or obviously in lieu of those
things) then you make that decision. So I don’t necessarily
think that the database that is being created from the VeriMed
system today and what may come down the road is any different
than any other database out there. In fact, because of the tamper
proof and secure hardware, I think the database is probably
better protected than most databases out there in today’s
society. "

Raise your RIGHT
hand for chip implant -- July 15, 2006
Ed: The following article is very revealing in that this is the
FIRST time the phrase "RIGHT hand" is used in regards
to the Verichip. They are following the script in Rev. 13
perfectly, even though Revelation/ Apocalypse was written over
2,000 years ago!
This article cannot be referring to "under the right
arm" ( phrase also used in this article ) for financial
transactions, as that would be impossible to work with scanners
at the grocery store. So -- just like the title says-- we will
use our " RIGHT hand" eventually for scanning at
all POS (point of sale) terminals.
The article stops short of saying that verichips will be placed
in the right hand for financial purchases, but it does mention
global purchasing with a card. The magic of the card lies in
one's unique number, and anyone can deduce that a number in a
verichip implanted in the right hand will also open up portals to
banking databases -- along with one's biometric ID -- in the
future.
Wait a minute... did they say "offer direct
access to your bank account from anywhere in the world" ?
Will there be a global currency unit for global financial
transactions ?? How ? When?
Not to worry. They are having a single-global-currency summit
next week to prepare for all of this.
And we too are preparing for this by waiting on the Lord for the
Rapture and keeping ourselves informed. Let's keep looking up !

People from some religious groups will say, "This is the
Mark of the Beast".
Should we let something written by
a Jew thousands of
years ago, stand in the way of progress?
After all you can't mix religion and state matters such as money.
I see this system as the future of economic and convenience. That and I really dislike
having having to carry 10 keys in my pocket. "

Editor's note: "
All Scripture is God-breathed, and Holy Ghost inspired. It comes
straight from the throne of God. See Revelation 1: 1, 2 ....
"The
Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to show unto
His servants things which must shortly come to pass.
And He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John ( the Revelator ) :
Who bare record of the Word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus
Christ ( 19:10 ), and of all things that he saw."

Bowing to the System
Kneeling by submission .... worshipping the god of convenience
What
about taking the Mark at this point in time when it is not yet
associated with the 666 Beast ? We still would not take it, for
it breaks the First Commandment:
"Thou shalt have no gods before Me".
If one cannot transact normal human affairs without the bio-mark,
then one has transferred himself from being made in the image of
God to becoming a numbered thing ....an object, chattel.
( Man was created without a bio-mark.)
One immediately loses his personhood ( soul ) when taking a
bio-mark in order to buy or sell.
No, I would not allow myself to become a number ... a thing ...
an object , chattel, by physically implanting a number in me ---
even if I never read the book of Revelation / Apocalypse.
Common sense alone would forbid it.

"For example, since the events of 9-11 and the New York City
blackout, how hard is it to imagine a catastrophic event capable
of destabilizing the entire world economy? Once technology like
the Verichip is in full swing it could be one of the
very first systems used to restore order in the face of national
or even global disaster.

Jason's main points on the Mark of the
Beast
All seem to say that obedience to God's commands is what his mark
represents.
Now, the way I see it, the taking of the biochip "merely for
convenience sake" would violate a good portion of God's ten
commandments.

What exactly is the 666 Mark of the Beast ? www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/trust.html
" And he causes all... to receive a mark in their
right hand or in their foreheads, 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....and his number is 666." Revelation 13:16-18
Always
Voluntary -- a matter of choice
Applied Digital,
based in Palm Beach, Fla., says it will soon begin the process of
getting Food and Drug Administration approval for the device, and
intends to limit its marketing to companies that ensure its human
use is voluntary.
"The line in the sand that we draw is that the use of the
VeriChip would always be voluntarily,"
said Keith Bolton, chief technology officer and a
vice president at Applied Digital.
"We
would never provide it to a company that intended to coerce
people to use it."
http://www.mercola.com/2002/mar/13/computer_chip.htm
Ed. note: "voluntary" is a very misleading word. The
subdermal chip will be REQUIRED ( necessitated)
for all financial transactions, including the purchasing of
groceries ( for eating and survival).
That hardly makes the word "voluntary" as innocent as
they would like it to sound.
****************************
This is the FIRST time the
word "head" is used with
the VeriChip ( that I know of) JULY 27, 2005
It is on page three of a three page article.
"The idea of putting something in
your head or in your arm frightens people and
stirs up privacy worries, even if they don't make a lot of
sense," he says. "Americans have an almost obsessive
drive to protect their personal privacy."

Another First : This is the first
time I have seen them admit that the chip will be used for
financial transactions. Kind of hard to swipe a shoulder or arm.
Do you suppose they will announce implanting the VeriChip in the
RIGHT HAND ? If so, they are fulfilling Rev. 13.
"dogtag" -- July 28, 2005
The chip has a special polyethylene
sheath that helps skin bond to it so it stays in place.
It has no battery, and is said to have an expected lifespan up to
20 years.
It has been suggested that eventually VeriChip could replace credit
cards and other forms of identification cards
with the advantage that, unlike their plastic equivalents, they
are almost impossible to lose.
