Re: What will the mark of the beast be?

How the system ultimately is managed is one thing, but based on a view of a handful of historical facts, it seems pretty clear to me that the introduction of the mark began in the mid 1930s with the SS system. At that time, it was promoted as "voluntary", but slowly, by creep, over the next 70 years it became mandatory by way of defacto law. More recently (since the intro of post-911 legislation), it has been codified in various chapters of so-called real law. See United State Code, Chapter 42, subsection 666. The bottom line is that as of this moment in 2008, the SS # is used to inventor - monitor, the vast majority of human resources that exist in the US. It's not 100% ironclad, yet, but just consider how many aspects of buying / selling a person will be denied if they do not cough up an SS#. Try opening any of the assortment of finance-based accounts - checking, savings, credit card, revolving credit and the like, without a SS#. Try buying big ticket items - houses, cars, etc, and even some smaller ticket items - airfare, cruises, etc, without a SS#. Try getting insurance policies for these big ticket items without an SS#. Try traveling in your car, behind the wheel, without an SS#.... this part is somewhat easy... at least until you get pulled over. Try getting married "in the eyes of the law" without an SS#. Try bearing children "in the eyes of the law" without an SS#. Try the latter at any of countless establishment health outlets and they will, literally, compel the parents to sign up their newborn for an SS#... to the extent that they (hospital agents) will lead you to believe that there is a genuine law that requires newborns to have an SS# applied on their behalf. Outside of child birth, try to get health care insurance without an SS#. Try to get service from an orthodox practitioner of medicine - doctor's office, dentist, hospital, etc, without an SS#. Globally, SS is not just a US thing. Other countries may not call it an SS# system, but most nations (especially those with a western-based central banking syndicate) have a system for inventorying human flesh, one that has been in operation for many years just like the US version.

Go to the mall, grocery store or other retail outlet. There is still a bit of wiggle room here in as much that these outlets still accept cash, for now, but consider how many people opt to swipe their card at checkout. It may be a bank/atm/debit card, or credit card, or special grocery/merchant card, but either way, this swipe will track to your SS#, and to top it off, the people behind these computer systems have a nice, neat, tidy itemized inventory of everything you purchased - each time you purchase .... all the better to analyze and market and predict your behavior.

For all practical purposes, a perfectly fine and serviceable system for the mark has been in place since the reign of fdr. Whether the SS system ends up being The system used when the mark is fully operating remains to be seen, but the only thing this system lacks is a bit of tweaking and tightening down the screws - requirements, of how/when/why/where they demand it be tendered by the person looking to buy/sell. If and when they can eliminate actual cash / paper money, this will in turn severely restrict / reduce the capacity for people to buy/sell/trade outside the system by using what they have long called "black markets". Unless they plan to completely appropriate every little possession, people will probably always have the potential to trade/barter goods for goods, but this kind of market only works well when a given buyer/seller pair involves people who have different things they will trade each other. If everybody is looking to trade something else for food, or water, but few (if any) people have an excess of food or water to trade, barter does not work so well. Tweet
