COVID19 UPDATE: 9.4.21 - Covid Vaccination Tattoos, Biometrics & The Mark Of The Beast

Covid Vaccination Tattoos, Biometrics & The Mark Of The Beast – PNW Staff - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=4933 What was intended as a grab for attention may have much deeper ramifications after a student in Italy went viral on Tiktok for tattooing the barcode of his covid certificateon his arm. Twenty-two year old Andrea Colonnetta's left arm now bears a matrix of black squares from the QR code of his official Italian green pass. He said he had received both doses of a coronavirus vaccine. The pass gives proof of coronavirus status -- that you are vaccinated, have recovered from the virus, or tested negative in the last 48 hours. It has been required in Italy since August 6 to get into cinemas, museums and indoor sports venues or to eat indoors at restaurants. The barcode tattoo has apparently become much more than just a novelty as it actually works for scanning. Colonnetta was able to show a video of himself entering a McDonaldsafter a security guard scanned his tattoo. Many people are greatly concerned about how the future of covid passports will affect their freedoms and even the technological aspects of how such passports might be enforcedin the future. There is already a very large black market for fake covid certificates and some believe the only way to crack down on such forgeries will be biometric enforcement which leads to the necessity of biometric surveillance. The recent fall of Afghanistan is a lesson in what happens when the bad guys get access to biometric databases. After years of a push to digitize databases in the country, and introduce digital identity cards and biometrics for voting, activists warn these technologies will now beused by the Taliban to track down people who worked with the previous government or Americans by checking their fingerprints or iris scans against a database. There are already several reports from Afghanistan that the Taliban have been using biometric readers when going from house to house for security checks. With access to such data, it will be much more difficult to hide one's identity as well as that of your family's identities, and the data can also be used to flesh out yourcontacts and network," said Welton Chang, chief technology officer at Human Rights First. It could also be used "to create a new class structure - job applicants would have their bio-data compared to the database, and jobs could be denied on the basis of havingconnections to the former government or security forces. For most Americans the biggest biometric decision they currently have to worry about is how much info to let their fitness watch gather. However what happens when you are required a mandatory bracelet so an employer or institution can access continuous data about your movement and health due to Covid regulations.Such actions are already being considered by many large corporations. Many sports teams and schools are already experimenting with wearable technologies that help detect coronavirus in combination with other biometric technologies but wearableshave limits. Perhaps a more permanent and universal solution will be necessary to provide enforcement across all specters of society. Australia is already trialing a smartphone app that will use facial recognition and geolocation to help authorities monitor compliance with the state's mandatory isolationrequirements. Individuals will be sent random location checks which they will be required to respond to within a 15-minute time frame to prove they are at their registered quarantineaddress by showing their face alongside current geolocation data. While it is unlikely that we will all be getting QR code tattoo's anytime soon, it does show one what is possible. That a digital code or outward "mark" might be given topeople as a means of convenience to demonstrate "vaccination compliance" - and that without that "mark" it won't be possible to conduct certain types of activities and commerce. If this sounds eerily familiar to what is described in the Book of Revelation you are right. It is important to recognize that vaccination certificates/passports do notmeet the requirements of scripture to be the Mark of The Beast, commonly associated with the numbers 666. The mark described in Revelation 13 is more than just receiving a mark that gives one the ability to conduct commerce but it is an act of worship & allegianceto the Antichrist. Without an Antichrist figure in power there can be no "mark of the beast". However, what we are seeing is a preconditioning for such types of social compliance and acceptance of technological advancements that could pave the way for what will oneday lead to this mark described in Revelation. Many Bible prophecy scholars warn that we are seeing a foreshadowing of what is to come in the end times and while scripture is silent on any type of worldwide health crisislinkage to the mark of the beast - Revelation also warns that there will be further disease and plagues that could exasperate the issues we are currently seeing. Imagine if future Covid variants (or other disease types) brought even more death and suffering, resulting in the collapse of the worldwide economy. Now imagine someonecoming on the scene who offers a cure/solution to both dealing with Covid and the economic turmoil. Would many worship this man as if he was God? Would they accept his "mark" if presented as a solution to the crisis that had both political, technological, economic andpotential health benefits? The current health crisis has shown just how desperate people are for normalcy and what they would give up to return to live normal lives. A return to more restrictionsthis Fall will once again send many on a roller coaster of emotions and make us all more susceptible to "worship" someone who could bring real solutions. The Bible says that one day the world will worship a man scripture calls the "Antichrist - who essentially is a false Messiah. He is a lion in sheep's clothing and willoffer answers to the worlds problems that will make people love him. However, he is a deceiver. Instead of saving the world, he helps to bring about it's destruction. How today's world events might play into the events Revelation describes remains to be seen. But a great place to start for the average person is to understand what theBook of Revelation says is coming. Without that knowledge you will be caught off guard and not be able to see how the events of today are leading to the final fulfillment of prophecies predicted by Scripture. --------------------------------------------------- The Media Says �The Delta Variant Stole Christmas�, And SevereShortages Are Projected To Stretch Long Into 2022 - by Michael Snyder - http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/the-media-says-the-delta-variant-stole-christmas-and-severe-shortages-are-projected-to-stretch-long-into-2022/ Thanks to extreme disruptions caused by the global response to the pandemic, millions upon millions of Americans are going to have a very disappointing holiday season. Supplychains are in a state of complete and utter chaos all over the world, and now we are being told that it will remain this way for the foreseeable future. And that is actually a best case scenario. If a new variant comes along that causes even more global disruptions,the shortages that we are experiencing right now could become even more dire. We are so vulnerable right now, and any unexpected twists or turns could easily make things a lot worse. Earlier in 2021, the mainstream media was full of optimistic talk about how wonderful the second half of the year would be. But now reality is setting in. The following comes from a Washington Post article entitled �How the delta variant stole Christmas: Empty shelves, long waits � and yes, higherprices�� �I�m afraid there is simply not enough time to get products on the shelf this year,� said Isaac Larian, chief executive of MGA Entertainment, the toy giant behind RainbowHigh and such popular lines as L.O.L. Surprise and Little Tikes. �The holidays are going to be very tough and, frankly, a lot of families are not going to be able to get the toys they want.� Mounting challenges � including factory shutdowns, computer chip shortages and clogged ports � are rattling the industry as it prepares for the crucial holiday shoppingseason, an eight-week window that can account for more than half of a retailer�s annual sales. Didn�t Kamala Harris just give us a very similar warning? If there are toys that you want to buy, you should try to get them as soon as possible, because the supply crunch is only going to intensify. Even the biggest voices in the mainstream media are now admitting that these shortages are not going to be resolved any time soon. The following comes from a New York Timesarticle entitled �The World Is Still Short of Everything. Get Used to It.�� Pandemic-related product shortages � from computer chips to construction materials � were supposed to be resolved by now. Instead, the world has gained a lesson in the rippleeffects of disruption. The economic optimists assured us that the economy would be �booming� by now, but instead the shortages are worse than ever. Earlier today, I came across a local news story about the painful shortages that small businesses in western Massachusetts are currently dealing with� This has everything to do with the supply chains. Businesses all over western Massachusetts are scrambling because they can�t get their hands on the most basic items. Silverware,takeaway containers, food items, you name it, and it�s probably in short supply. Of course many of the largest corporations in the entire world are dealing with the same headaches. According to Elon Musk, Tesla has been experiencing �super crazy supply chain shortages�� Elon Musk said that supply-chain snags have hindered Tesla�s plans in 2021. �2021 has been the year of super crazy supply chain shortages, so it wouldn�t matter if we had 17 new products, as none would ship,� Musk tweeted on Wednesday. For many companies, one of the biggest sources of pain has been a persistent lack of computer chips. This is a worldwide phenomenon, and it is the reason why game systems like the PS5 and the XBox Series X have been so exceedingly difficult to acquire� Since the beginning of the pandemic, the demand for microchips has far exceeded supply, causing problems in every industry that relies on computers. And if you�re a Decoderlistener, you know that that is every industry. Right now, major automakers have unfinished cars sitting in parking lots waiting for chips to be installed. Game consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X are impossible to find. And even things like microwavesand refrigerators are impacted, because they contain simple controller chips. We were promised that things would be getting better by now, but instead this crisis just continues to escalate. In fact, Toyota just announced that they are going to be cutting global production by 40 percent because of the shortage of chips� In the face of an enduring shortage of computer chips, Toyota this month announced that it would slash its global production of cars by 40%. Factories around the world arelimiting operations � despite powerful demand for their wares � because they cannot buy metal parts, plastics and other raw materials. Construction companies are paying more for paint, lumber and hardware, while waiting weeks and sometimes months to receivewhat they need. As bad as things are now, it looks like they are about to get even worse. One prominent shipping company just declared that they expect this crisis to persist �until the first half of 2022�� From anchorage stats to forward arrivals, ocean bookings, and inventory-to-sales numbers, all the latest data paints the same picture: The U.S. congestion crisis has neverbeen more severe than it is now � and it�s getting worse. Hope for any relief this year has vanished. French carrier CMA CGM is the latest in a long line of market participants to push back its timeline on normalization. Capacityconstraints �are expected to continue until the first half of 2022,� CMA CGM warned on Friday. Alarmingly, America�s import system � which is already stretched to the limit � looks like it will have to handle even higher volumes next month. The likely outcome: Carrierswill be forced to cancel more sailings as terminal berths max out and ships get stuck at anchor, even more cargo will get �rolled� (pushed to a future sailing), and importers will face even longer delays and even less slot availability as they scramble tobuild inventories for holiday sales. Others are even more pessimistic. Just check out this quote� �There is no end in sight,� said Alan Holland, chief executive of Keelvar, a company based in Cork, Ireland, that makes software used to manage supply chains. �Everybodyshould be assuming we are going to have an extended period of disruptions.� �No end in sight�? �An extended period of disruptions�? And what is going to happen if another variant comes along that creates a lot more fear? Just today, the WHO issued a very ominous warning about a variant that is now known as �Mu�� The World Health Organization has issued a warning about yet another new COVID-19 variant it fears could potentially evade vaccines. That variant, called Mu, was first detected in Colombia in January, and has been announced just as the Delta variant finally appears to be peaking in the U.S. This �Mu variant� has already spread to over 40 different nations, and there have already been more than 2,000 confirmed cases in the United States� Over 4,600 cases of the variant, whose scientific name is B.1.621, have been spotted since then, and it has spread to more than 40 countries. Almost 2,000 cases of the variant have been detected in the United States. So how much worse will our supply chain disruptions become if that variant starts spreading across the country like wildfire? Most people don�t realize that we are so close to the sort of extreme economic chaos that I have been warning about. The second half of this year was supposed to be a time when our lives started to go back to �normal�, but that is obviously now out the window. Instead, the rest of 2021 is looking exceedingly bleak, and at any moment another sudden �surprise� could take our problems to a whole new level. ------------------------------------- A reasonable solution to the ongoing COVID threat - Bill Wilson � www.dailyjot.com The House Foreign Affairs Committee Minority Staff Report documents COVID gain of function research was �partially funded by grants from the US National Institute of Allergy& Infectious Disease and the National Institute of Aging within the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), as well as the US Agency for International Development (USAID).� This gain of function is weaponization. Democrats blocked a bill to require declassificationof information related to the origins of any role the Wuhan Institute of Virology may have played in the pandemic�s outbreak. This is politicization. The politicization has extended into mass disruption of society with no end in sight, but there is a reasonablesolution to this COVID threat. There is deep divide about the safety and efficacy of the COVID �vaccines.� There is distrust of the reporting of COVID infection rates, hospitalizations and deaths. Thereis misgiving about treatments. There are those, especially politicians, big business, and media, who rabidly accept the paradigm that the only way to fight COVID is with 100% vaccination. They ridicule, belittle, discriminate against, and ostracize any otherpoint of view. There are those with great concerns about the long-term impact of these hastily developed �vaccines.� Those who attack the unvaccinated often do so without citing the very science that they say they so dearly revere. This is politicization. For example, the CDC website COVID tracker reports that the seven-day average for both deaths and cases appears to be leveling out. CDC�s data indicates that on January13 of this year�which saw the most COVID-19 deaths per day�the number of daily deaths totaled 4,169 with about 240,000 daily cases. On August 31 the CDC reported the number of daily deaths to be about 985, with about 150,000 daily cases. This is with 74.4%of all US adults having received at least one dose of COVID 19 �vaccine.� This indicates that the infection and death rate is declining. A recent study led by Dr. Jeffrey Shaman at Columbia University indicated that the death rate fell from 0.77% in April2020 to 0.31% in December 2020, but that COVID should be treated as a continued threat. This could be the result of weaponization. Calling people names and believing narratives apart from truth does not solve this COVID 19 threat. Likewise, stubbornly settling on group think that there is only one wayto prevent and treat COVID 19 will only cause more politicization and social disruption. IF leaders were truly interested in defeating this weaponized pandemic, doesn�t it make sense that representatives from all on the medical spectrum�from big pharma toalternative medicine, including naturopathy and homeopathy�come together with equal voices, share their respective science without recrimination, and develop a comprehensive solution using the best practices of all? As in Isaiah 1:18, �Come now, let us reasontogether, says the Lord.� If we put aside the politics and follow God�s principles no weapon formed against us shall prosper. Why not? ------------------------------ Will Vaccine Passports Create Two-Tier Society? Canada Is About to Find Out � Patrick Carroll - https://www.prophecynewswatch.com/article.cfm?recent_news_id=4936 Of the many terms we've become accustomed to over the course of the pandemic, "vaccine passport" is perhaps one of the more ominous ones. Although the idea was initiallydismissed as little more than a conspiracy theory, many people now believe that "showing your papers" is a reasonable prerequisite for participating in normal public life. Indeed, New York City has already implemented a vaccine passport, and many other municipalities are also considering it. Two years ago we would have called this dystopian. Today, we call it a public health measure. Canadians in particular have embraced the idea of vaccine passports, and two provinces (Quebec and British Columbia) have now announced plans to implement vaccine passportsystems in the coming weeks. Quebec was the first to announce that they would be implementing the policy. "People who have made the effort to get their two doses must be able to live a somewhat normal life," Premier Fran�ois Legault said in the announcement on August 5. "Wewill give certain privileges to those who have agreed to make the effort to get their two shots," he continued. "Some non-essential services will be available only to vaccinated people." The system, which comes into effect on September 1, will apply to places with high capacity and a high rate of contact, including festivals, bars, restaurants, gyms, andtraining facilities. Drawing on Quebec's example, British Columbia recently became the second province to introduce a vaccine passport. Their initiative, which goes into effect on September13, will likewise restrict access to high capacity areas for unvaccinated people. The list of restricted areas includes indoor concerts and events, movie theatres, gyms, and restaurants (including patio dining), as well as "organized indoor events" whichinclude weddings, parties, conferences, meetings, and workshops. Though Quebec and British Columbia are currently the only two provinces planning comprehensive vaccine passport systems, other provinces have also introduced vaccine-relatedprivileges in recent months. Manitoba, for example, has an immunization card which exempts vaccinated individuals from the self-isolation requirements upon entering the province and allows them to visitloved ones in personal care homes and hospitals. Prince Edward Island has also introduced a pass offering similar privileges. Federally, things aren't looking much better for the unvaccinated. On August 13, the government announced that it will soon require that all federal public servants, some300,000 people, be vaccinated as a condition of their employment. They also announced that all commercial air travelers, passengers on interprovincial trains, and passengers on cruise ships will have to be vaccinated. Second-Class Citizens Taking these measures as a whole, it's hard to deny that Canada is well on its way to creating two classes of citizens, the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. Activities thatwere once considered basic human rights, such as assembling in various social settings or boarding a flight, have now become "privileges" that are reserved for the vaccinated class alone. In many ways, these policies are eerily reminiscent of the laws that were used to target marginalized groups in the past such as women, blacks, and jews. Of course, theoppression in those cases was often far more egregious. But the moment we concede that some people should have more rights than others, we are operating within the same paradigm. The differences between those historical injustices and the present-day treatmentof the unvaccinated are merely differences of degree, not kind. Indeed, the principle of equal rights and equality under the law really is the crux of the matter here. If a private business wants to discriminate against someone basedon their vaccination status, that is their right. But when the government gives legal privileges to a certain group and systematically discriminates against another group, it has crossed a major line. Make no mistake, thisis how you get second-class citizens. This is what subjugation looks like. Now, in theory, one of the ways to prevent this kind of unequal treatment is to create a constitution that enshrines certain universal human rights. Canada, being a liberaldemocracy, naturally has such a constitution, and one of its most important features is the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is essentially the Canadian version of the Bill of Rights. The relevant section of the Charter is section 15, which states the following. "Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, withoutdiscrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability." The Supreme Court of Canada has stated that the purpose of section 15 is to prevent "discrimination against groups suffering social, political and legal disadvantage inCanadian society." At first glance, it might seem obvious that vaccine passports constitute legal discrimination, and are thus unconstitutional. But while there's certainly an argument to be made there, the counter argument is that the Charter doesn't actuallyprotect these rights in an absolute sense. Note the language in section 1. "The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrablyjustified in a free and democratic society." So are vaccine passports unconstitutional? It's hard to say. But as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't actually matter. To borrow language from Lysander Spooner, "whetherthe Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain--that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist." The point is, the constitution has failed to uphold equality under the law. Whether it failed by impotence or by design is an interesting legal question, but practicallyspeaking it hardly makes a difference. Constitutions and Cultures Sadly, this isn't the first time the Canadian constitution has failed to uphold human rights. It has also been failing since the beginning of the pandemic at upholding freedomof assembly, despite describing that right as a "fundamental freedom" in section 2 of the Charter. So for those who still look to the constitution as a safeguard of liberty, the lockdowns and now the vaccine passports ought to be a wake-up call. Clearly, something isnot working. If the constitution was designed to uphold individual rights, it has failed miserably. And if it wasn't designed to that end, then there's little reason to have it in the first place. The lesson we ought to take from this is that constitutions by themselves do not actually protect people's rights. They are just pieces of paper. What really matters isthe culture, and specifically, the degree to which people in society value liberty. Consider the fact that many totalitarian regimes also had constitutions and bills of rights (such as the Weimar Constitution in Nazi Germany). These documents were undoubtedlyheld in high esteem, but they likewise proved to be powerless when the prevailing culture became tyrannical. So while some say that we can preserve liberty if we just get the right law, constitutional amendment, or supreme court ruling, this is a false hope. Liberty lives and dies by the culture. If the culture hates liberty, no government edict can preserve it. Then again, if the culture loves liberty, no government edict can take it away.
