I haven't read this entire thread because discussions about the mark of the beast usually get pretty frustrating. However I'll add this. I was watching a documentary last week about the government and such. Apparently, and this is according to that dvd, next May is when the new National I.D. Card starts. This thing is powerful!!!!! It'll have a TRACKING DEVICE embedded within, with all your info such as ssn, personal stats, banking and credit, eventually your health history so your docs or hospital will just scan it and know it, and eventually tied in with the banking and credit will be this: when you get paid at your job, it'll go on the card like a debit or checking card. When you go to Walmart and make them a bit richer, they'll just scan your card, and the "money", or funds will come off your card's account. Here's the clincher: All "big brother" has to do is turn your tracking chip off, and you're done! You won't exist folks. No buying and selling. No working, at least not at a legit job, no health care, no nothing. It'll be like you've died, except you didn't.
Now I stress that was all according to the DVD I watched last week, but I've heard of this National I.D. Card for several years. Anyone else hear of this or am I wasting my breath?
