In fact, if anything crops up that is so different and newsworthy from everything I have already mentioned on this blog, then I will certainly do a write-up again. But for now, this Global Citizen News blog has, and still is, serving its purpose to inspire others to do their own research. <br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Stealing children to become Global Citizens</span></span></span><br />
But right now a new project is requiring my urgent attention: globalist plans for child stealing, child monetising, and shaping the Global Citizens of the future through a system that is known in Scotland as the Named Person Scheme. It involves putting a state guardian between every child and his or her parents. Public opinion is currently being softened through the media to bring this scheme into Dutch society. Here in the Netherlands, people are totally in the dark about what is hanging over their heads and worse, what is hanging over their children's heads right now. So I need to redirect my focus to a Dutch blog as a starting point to shed some light on the issue in the Netherlands.<br />
<br />
If you're interested, you can click <a href="https://jeugdbeschermer.blogspot.com/p/articles-in-english.html" target="_blank">here</a> and be informed about globalist plans to separate Dutch children from their parents.

<br />
Are you unhappy about fuel prices and unreasonably high taxes?
Do you feel angry at the power of big corporate giants? The Yellow Vests in
France certainly are, and it looks as if there are a lot more people preparing
to start similar protests all across Europe if they aren’t in progress already.<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Your rights as a protester? Not what you think</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You may be applauding the current protests in France. You
might consider joining a group near you. You may even have a road or a roundabout
in mind to set up your own Yellow Vest protest. And you may even feel upset
enough to blow a fuse and be planning to really let it rip. If you do, then you
need to read this article. Because there is something you need to know. Your rights as a protester are not what you think.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No legal constraints whatsoever</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I first wrote about this situation in 2015 when Boris
Johnson, then Mayor of London, decided to buy some heavy equipment to deal with
potential future rioting in the city. Boris’ water cannon were a hugely expensive
mistake: they were sold for scrap by the current London Mayor Sadiq Khan. But today’s
politicians’ worst fears are becoming reality as the Yellow Jacket protests are
beginning to spread, and they are thinking: how can they quell a protest once it gets out of hand? How tough, how hard hitting are riot police allowed to
get? How far are they allowed to go to strike down an angry crowd of protesters
in hi viz yellow? The answer may surprise you: very, very hard. With no limits,
and no legal constraints whatsoever.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The reason for this can be found in the small print of the
Lisbon Treaty which refers to a different document: the European Convention on Human
Rights, which became legally binding for all signatories of the Lisbon Treaty. In
case you thought that it is your human right to protest freely in the EU, and
that have freedom of opinion, you need to read what this charter really says.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">License to kill </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This European Convention on Human Rights state that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the state is legally entitled to use
potentially lethal force against rioters</b>.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Article_2_of_the_European_Convention_on_Human_Rights" target="_blank"> Article 2</a> of the European Convention on Human Rights:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
(c) <b><i>in action lawfully taken for the purpose of

</blockquote>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
In other words, if riot police decided that the Yellow Vest protests had gone far enough, they would be allowed to use lethal force.
Because thanks to this document our politicians and the police are quite
safe by hiding behind the Lisbon Treaty and the European Convention on Human
Rights. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So before you put on your yellow vest, be aware that the Lisbon
Treaty gives riot police the license to kill.</div>

So watch this space.<br />
<br />
But I am not the only one hinting at new developments. Major ID2020 partner Microsoft has some news too. From the <a href="https://news.microsoft.com/2018/12/03/mastercard-microsoft-join-forces-to-advance-digital-identity-innovations/" target="_blank">Microsoft blog</a>: <br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Mastercard, Microsoft join forces to advance digital
identity innovations</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
PURCHASE, N.Y. and REDMOND, Wash. – Dec. 3, 2018 –
Mastercard (NYSE: MA) and Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq “MSFT” @microsoft) today
announced a strategic collaboration to improve how people manage and use their
digital identity.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Currently, verifying your identity online is still dependent
on physical or digital proof managed by a central party, whether it’s your
passport number, your proof of address, driver’s license, user credentials or
other means. This dependence places a huge burden on individuals, who have to
successfully remember hundreds of passwords for various identities and are
increasingly being subjected to more complexity in proving their identity and
managing their data. Working together, Mastercard and Microsoft aim to give
people a secure, instant way to verify their digital identity with whomever
they want, whenever they want.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The answer to these challenges is a service that would allow
individuals to enter, control and share their identity data their way – on the
devices they use every day. That’s Mastercard’s intention, working closely with
players like Microsoft.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Today’s digital identity landscape is patchy, inconsistent
and what works in one country often won’t work in another. We have an
opportunity to establish a system that puts people first, giving them control
of their identity data and where it is used,” says Ajay Bhalla, president,
cyber and intelligence solutions, Mastercard. “Working with Microsoft brings us
one step closer to making a globally interoperable digital identity service a
reality, and we look forward to sharing more very soon.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Access to a universally-recognized digital identity could
unlock new and enhanced experiences for people as they interact with
businesses, service providers and their community online, including: </div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Financial
Services: Improve and speed the applicant identification process for
establishing a new bank account, loan or payment service account</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Commerce: Enable a
more personalized and efficient shopping experience online and in stores,
regardless of the payment type, device or service provider</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Government
Services: Simplify interactions with government agencies and services – such as
filing taxes, applying for passports or securing support payments (e.g., Social
Security)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Digital Services:
Streamline and provide easier use of email, social media, movie/music streaming
services, and rideshare platforms </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Digital identity is a cornerstone of how people live, work
and play every day,” said Joy Chik, corporate vice president, Identity,
Microsoft. “We believe people should be in control of their digital identity
and data, and we’re thrilled to first work with Mastercard to bring new
decentralized identity innovations to life.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This digital identity initiative could also help solve for
common challenges:</div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Identity
Inclusion: More than 1 billion people, a majority of them women, children and
refugees, are not officially recognized; a digital identity can improve their
access to health, financial and social services.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Identity
Verification: A single, reusable digital identity can help people interact with
a merchant, bank, government agency and countless other digital service
providers with greater integrity, lower cost and with less friction. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Fraud Prevention:
A single digital identity can help reduce payments fraud and identity theft of
various forms. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
This initiative will serve as the foundation for new
Mastercard services powered by Microsoft Azure and built-in collaboration with
leaders in the banking, mobile network operator and government communities.
Microsoft and Mastercard are bringing together their respective strengths –
Microsoft’s expertise in identity technology and Mastercard’s expertise in
securely orchestrating digital interactions in a complex, multi-stakeholder
ecosystem.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Additional details on these efforts will be shared in the
coming months.</div>

A marriage between husband and wife is a mini version of the
covenant system, like a little seed by which a kingdom is sown: from two people a whole nation can come into being.
A dynasty, a house, a family, a clan with a name and an identity.<br />

</tbody></table>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In ancient times, strong ties between nations were created
through marriages. A suzerain state would take a vassal state under its wing, put
into effect by marrying one of its princes or even the king himself to a wife
from the royal house of the vassal state under the eyes of a deity, whose
images and statues were wheeled out and put into a semi-circle around the
actual nuptials in the dominating nation’s temple. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thus, a weaker nation could
seek protection from a stronger nation, or a stronger nation could add resources
and expand its empire through this instrument of forced international marriage.
History tells us of some of these arrangements where this worked out well, but more often these marriage covenants ended in disaster and war.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Covenant of Death</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Global Covenant is a twisted and perverted version of this
ancient system. It aims to cajole, dupe and ultimately force everyone into an abusive marriage between mankind and a spiritual entity who goes by
various names and genders. Today we see the leaders of our world bowing down to<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Lucifer, its male manifestation, or Gaia,
its female manifestation. All the elements of a marriage can be found in this
Global Covenant with Satan: the <a href="https://globalcitizennews.blogspot.com/2017/11/taking-global-citizen-oath.html" target="_blank">deceptive oath based on a lie</a>, the fake
identity, fake protection, fake provision, fake welfare, and fake spirituality: the whole Global Covenant is fake from top to bottom. It is one big scam to ultimately destroy mankind through
slavery, famine, sickness and disease, war and death.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Ring</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here is the latest development: to be wedded into this covenant of death there is now a
ring called Token. It locks the wearer into a digital financial world of the identity of a
Global Citizen. This biosensor ring will be the key to what they call inclusion and
connectivity: modern words for becoming one in a digital marriage covenant. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“What if
your identity was in your own hand(s)?” asked David Treat, MD of Accenture, a
so-called management consulting firm with its powerful corporate fingers in
many globalist pies. "I appreciate the point that biometrics is on the way
out", he said in his <a href="https://globalcitizennews.blogspot.com/2017/07/what-if-your-identity-was-always-in.html" target="_blank">2017 presentation at the ID2020 Platform For ChangeSummit</a>, after which mentioned a better idea: “a token like a necklace as a
device”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here it is: the Token Ring, a digital gadget, heralded and lauded by the other major ID2020 partner:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="MsoNormal">
"We’re thrilled to work with <a href="http://www.tokenize.com/">Token</a>

Freedom at last! Now I can drive wherever I want, whenever I want. And be safe as well, because this car comes with a whole host of new services. I am so lucky.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Free Car Key Deposit</span></span></span><br />
First of all, the dealer keeps my car keys for my own protection. This service is called MyKey. I have full control: I can pop into the dealership any time I want to collect the keys. This MyKey service is free, I don't have to pay anything. In addition, I have the freedom to block the dealers from giving the keys to other customers under the GlobalKey plan for Saving the Earth. Admittedly, it can be a bit tricky to locate the correct web page to remove my supposed consent, but I have full control.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Improvements Every Year!</span></span></span><br />
They regularly update this wonderful free service for improved experience. At least once a year! If I want to change from no key sharing to opting in to GlobalKey Share again, I don't need to do anything - it's automatic! And if I want to stay opted out, all I would need to do is find the right web page again, give my mobile number and my Global ID again and tick the box after receiving the safety code on my mobile. And they make it so easy! They have a Customer Service phone number with a computerised chat function for standard questions relating to the improved and personalised service. This service is really really great, and best of all: I am in control. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Full Control</span></span></span><br />
The car comes with an Easy Locator Function. Should I ever forget where I parked it, all I need to do is to log in to secure MyCarLocation account, and hey presto! They can send me a message on my pre-registered mobile phone with a snapshot from the street camera nearest to where my car is. And a picture of where I am standing as I request this personalised-for-my-better-experience information. Again, I am in full control, because I can opt out from this service. This is so wonderful!<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Opting Out: Sure. Easy.</span></span></span><br />
Another feature is the valuable information the dealer now has on me: conversations that are recorded in my car, and facial recognition of anyone who has been in the car. I can re-live what great times I have had with my passengers, and enjoy our conversation again and post them on social media- this is great! Opting out here is not so easy, because it is tied in with the MyKey service. If I opt out, I won't have access to my car keys any more. So that's a tricky one.<br />
<br />
But on the whole, I have never felt so free and in control. And safe! We are living in wonderful times. I am so happy with my new Ford Orwell.<br />

Would you want to try it out in a smaller region before subjecting the whole nation to it? </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">This is the question that was faced by today's leaders of China. And they decided to zoom in on the part of China that form their Achilles heel: the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region, bordering on Russia, India, Pakistan and five other nations. Rich in gas, oil and minerals and diverse in its ethnic population, it is fiercely protected by China as its long and chequered history bears witness to kings and emperors casting their lustful eyes over the region. But perhaps the most treasured aspect is its prime position on the ancient Silk Road. The ancient caravans have been replaced by a <a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/01/02/china-launches-freight-train-britain/" target="_blank">modern railway track</a>, connecting the furthest parts of eastern China through India and Russia, all the way to Europe. A vast and precious region well worth protecting from foreign meddling, potentially resulting in uprisings and instability. Thus, Xinjiang has become both a fiercely guarded region as well as the testing ground for the latest surveillance techniques. </span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size: 12pt;">But what are the ramifications for Xinjiang's inhabitants? They are being watched, tracked and traced. Each and every purchase, every single movement is monitored. And in true China fashion, any independent thought and action is seen as a threat to the state. Local economies are hampered as free movement is curtailed by heavy handed checkpoints, laborious registration of purchases and long delays to even enter a shopping precinct. Police stations are on every street corner, and military paraphernalia set the tone. Cameras swivel and record every face as biometric features are matched against databases. Xinjiang has become a laboratory of surveillance techniques, and the people are suffering from its oppressive effects.</span></span></div>

This leaves me with one final thought: would these weary inhabitants of Xinjiang not prefer to be tagged with a convenient biochip, eliminating the need for long queues at the many checkpoints? After all, most surveillance measures already in place worldwide have been accepted without a murmur: mobile phones with location tagging, biometric unlocking, checking in for flights by walking past facial recognition camera at the airport, banking with a fingerprint... </div>

However, we won't see widespread testing of an in vivo ID until the scientists have come up with a way to dupe the immune system.

Today I am adding a few more details to <a href="http://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/2017/05/a-secret-in-plain-view-circle.html" target="_blank">last year's post about the film The Circle</a>, based on Dave Eggers' book with the same title. A few new YouTube clips have since become available, so if you haven't seen the film or read the book, this will give you some better insights and a preview into the near future if these global elites get what they are working towards. If you are already familiar with the Global Citizen movement and its objectives, you'll recognise many themes. So here are two telling clips:<br />

This identity is the way all Global Citizens will one day be numbered. Various organisations have been created to draw mankind into this scheme which is in reality a<a href="https://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/2017/11/the-global-covenant.html" target="_blank"> Global Covenant</a>. Thus, you will find a Global Covenant for mayors, for churches, for children and youngsters, for world leaders and the list goes on. <a href="https://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/2017/11/taking-global-citizen-oath.html" target="_blank">Global Citizen pledges</a> can be found all over these organisations. This ancient system of covenants is in the process of being revived with the addition of modern technology: digital numbers, metadata, the Internet of Things, biometrics, and ultimately: the in vivo biometric chip, bonding each Global Citizen into one big<a href="https://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/p/the-two-covenants.html" target="_blank"> covenant of evil.</a> </span><br />
<span class="place_cont"><br /></span>
<span class="place_cont"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Aadhaar: India is the testing ground</span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="place_cont">This digital numerical system is being tested all over the world. One example is Aadhaar in India. India was seen as the ideal nation for this pilot: the British set up a vast but vulnerable system of bureaucracy. A culture of bribery, illiteracy and ignorance has made India the ideal target to get this numerical system tested and perfected. The system is called Aadhaar.</span><br />
<span class="place_cont"><br /></span>
<span class="place_cont">The system is accessed through biometrics: ten fingerprints, an iris scan and facial recognition. A number is allocated, which unlocks education, health care, welfare and a host of other 'services'. </span><span class="place_cont"><span class="place_cont"> Apps on mobiles enable the data to be read by users and providers. The first applications were in the hands of the state, followed by </span>the banks and finally an increasing number of private companies, <a href="https://globalcitizennews.blogspot.com/2018/04/amazon-wants-access-to-indian-customers.html" target="_blank">for example Amazon.</a></span><br />
<span class="place_cont"><span id="goog_1465832269"></span><span id="goog_1465832270"></span><br /></span>
<span class="place_cont"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Point of Access: the weak link</span></span></span></span><br />
<span class="place_cont">As expected, teething problems are rife. Fraud and corruption are easy when the weak link is the point of access: the person who enters the applicant's data into the system. Spelling mistakes in names can ruin a child's right to education. Young women are forced into sexual favours before they are given their Aadhaar number. Bribes are demanded, and criminals find ways to use freshly generated or stolen Aadhaar numbers for their nefarious activities.</span><br />
<span class="place_cont"><br /></span>
<span class="place_cont">Biometric numbering is only a step towards a greater goal: in vivo numbering of each individual to be included in a Global Covenant of slavery. Changing public perception is only one of the boxes to be ticked. The nuts and bolts of the system needs to be tested too, and that is what we are seeing in India. Other aspects like behavioural control through social credits are being tested in China. Again, the target group that was found to be most suitable due to their communist past. But India has been chosen for its bureaucratic infrastructure combined with large scale ignorance.</span><br />

<b class="place_cont">New Delhi: </b> It's
been nearly three years since Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced his
"Digital India" initiative, pitched as an ambitious program to
modernize this country of more than 1 billion people.<br />
<br />
Since then,
the government abruptly invalidated 86 percent of the cash in
circulation, a move toward a "cashless society" that led to widespread
panic and a currency crisis. It has launched dozens of apps to accompany
various government programs - an app to report roadside piles of
garbage to authorities, one to keep Indians up to date on Modi's
speeches and even one to find lost children.<br />
<br />
And
undergirding the initiative is Aadhaar, an identification program that
aims to collect each Indian citizen's information, such as fingerprints
and retina scans, in a database linked to every part of that person's
digital footprint: bank account numbers, cellphone details, income tax
filings, voter IDs, ostensibly allowing the government to curb identity
fraud and welfare corruption. <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/indias-biometric-id-program-aadhaar-was-supposed-to-end-welfare-corruption-but-neediest-may-be-hit-h-1828647" target="_blank">Read more</a> <br />

Take a good look at the Global Citizen movement with its emphasis on feminism, fighting poverty and promoting equal rights. Next, read the book <a href="http://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/2017/05/a-secret-in-plain-view-circle.html" target="_blank">"The Circle"</a> or watch the movie. Compare these with the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Notice the pattern. Now you're ready to listen to this G. Edward Griffin interview: <br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">G. Edward
Griffin describes how he learned about communist theory and strategy by reading
communist books. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">He explains
that Marxism is mostly about social and political theory, while Leninism is
about overthrowing governments and coming to power. The first step in a
communist-style revolution is to create discord between factions in the nation
to be taken over. Lenin taught that a culturally unified nation is difficult to
topple, so the first step is to fracture the culture and divide the people into
antagonistic groups, leading to hatred, and violence. The nation must be
divided into opposing classes, races, religions, or any other classification
that might offer the best chance of creating conflict. Communists describe this
strategy as a “war of national liberation” on the assertion that the minority
group is oppressed by the majority and must be ‘liberated’ by communism. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The
Communist Party USA meticulously followed this strategy during the rise of the
civil rights movement, but not one person in a thousand had any idea who was
directing the movement – or why. They could not imagine that the cry for
civil rights was being used, not to protect the civil rights of black
Americans, but to exploit black Americans (and most white Americans as well)
into supporting a movement that had as its sole purpose, to expand the power of
government until, eventually, its power would be total. Totalitarian
government and communism are the same thing. –GEG</span><br />

<i>Lina Gilliland joins [Sarah Westall's] program to shed light on the true Native
American experience in North America. She explains how Native American
communities come first for social experiments and initiatives. From
microchip implants to vaccines, the government uses them as test
subjects before new products or services are released widely into the
general public. </i><br />
<br />
The government presumes that native Americans can't manage their finances. Once they are chipped, a direct RFID link is established between them and their bank accounts to which they have limited acces. The government and big corporations are in control of their income and expenditures.<br />
<br />
Some Native Americans are chipped in their arm. Some have the chip in their shoulder. They only discover this when they come out of hospital for some other surgery.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015577359804667576.post-4957128474580760842017-12-07T20:48:00.000+01:002017-12-13T10:21:34.828+01:00They're Playing Our Song<div class="MsoNormal">

ceremony is marked by more music. The congregation stands and sings together, marking the event with an appropriate hymn, and the wedding breakfast is later followed by more music and dancing.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> But even the more elaborate weddings with all the traditional trimmings are only a remnant of what this event
once used to portray. Much of its original impact and significance has been lost today. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Once upon a
time, not only men and women married, but clans and even whole nations would enter into covenanted relationships with their rights and duties. This was seen as a marriage too. The highlight of these international nuptials involved the literal marriage of two people representing their nations and their respective roles in the new covenant: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzerainty" target="_blank">the suzerein</a> provided the
bridegroom as the lord and master of the union, while the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vassal" target="_blank">vassal-to-be</a> provided the bride. Thus, powerful ancient kings ended up with many
wives as they entered into covenants with servant nations. The physical
marriage was an important part of the whole ceremony where two nations were
joined through covenants.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">But there
was always a third partner in each covenant: a deity. The consummation of the marriage
was often done under the all-seeing eye of Dagon, Baal or other whatever other god
was worshipped. Each ancient culture had its own ‘Baal’ – a divine husband or
lord and master. </span></div>

This adulterous ‘marriage’ with Baal of Peor was consummated with sexual acts between Israelite and Moabite couples. It didn’t end well by the way – Israel was already the junior (servant,
wife) in their covenant with God. Read
<a href="https://www.blueletterbible.org/nkjv/num/25/3/s_142003" target="_blank">here</a> what happened: an unnamed male and female were executed while they were

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This piece is in fact a reconstructed hymn
to Nikkal, goddess of orchards. (who later became Diana, goddess of the grove,
or Gaia, modern earth goddess. More about this ancient goddess <a href="http://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/2017/04/the-woman-in-window-hidden-message-on.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Many of our leaders believe in her).</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">But why am
I devoting a whole new post to this topic? The reason is something I found
while keeping an eye on the United Nations. In their devotion to the Earth
(they always use a capital E when they refer to the earth as a sentient living
being), a hymn was created for her on the occasion of the UN’s 25<sup>th</sup> anniversary
in 1971.</span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Praise of war and victories in battle?</span></span></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">U Thant, who was the UN secretary at the time, was supposed to have asked: “For centuries, poets and
musicians have sung in praise of war and celebrated victories in battles." (On a side note, at this point I am reminded of the <a href="http://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/2017/04/the-woman-in-window-hidden-message-on.html" target="_blank">Woman in the Window</a> at the UN's Security Council chamber.) U Thant: "Why
is there no hymn to peace?” He then suggested a hymn based on the preamble
to the Charter of the United Nations. Which brings us straight back into
covenant territory: a preamble and a charter are features of covenantal law.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Sovereign equality?</span></span></span></span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Originally, the Charter of the United Nations promised "</span>The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members." However, their current drive for Global Citizens giving their pledge to a Global Covenant flies straight into the face of the UN's original lofty ideals.<br />
<br />
In any case, here is the original version of the Hymn of the United Nations as performed in 1971. What do you think of the lyrics?<br />
<br />

<br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">It seemed that this laborious concoction didn't quite fit the bill. It was never formally adopted as the official anthem of the United Nations.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">But there is a more up to date version. This version of the UN hymn is also called an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_anthem" target="_blank">Earth anthem</a>: "a celebratory song or a musical composition that eulogizes,
extols or exalts the planet Earth and its inhabitants, including the flora and fauna.”
If that doesn’t state ‘Earth goddess of orchards and groves’ to you, I don’t
know what does. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The Global Covenant promises to usher in a technocratic world at one with a sentient goddess Earth. How appropriate it is then to have an anthem generated by
Artificial Intelligence as composed by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cope" target="_blank">Professor David_Cope:</a>

cards with an additional layer of security to counteract fraud — a biometric
fingerprint sensor. By combining chip technology with your fingerprint, the
company can now verify the cardholder’s identity for in-store purchases. The
process is quite simple in that you stick your card into the terminal during
payment. The biometric fingerprint sensor on the card, which is powered by the
terminal, takes a fuzzy image of your fingerprint and matches it against the
biometric information stored in the card. If the biometrics match what is
stored on the card, then the payment is processed.</span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Voice Recognition </span></span></span><br />
Most people are familiar with private applications of speech recognition on their mobiles. There is a host of other applications - even <a href="https://www.labnol.org/internet/dictation-for-google-chrome/24719/" target="_blank">Chrome can write your spoken words for you</a>. It does make you wonder how secure your devices are from eavesdropping agencies, but let's leave that stone unturned for now. Voice recognition for identifying purposes goes further.<br />
<br />
Barclays Bank has been using the technology since 2012:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">International
banking customers are automatically verified as they speak with a service centre
executive. Not only does that cut the authentication time by about 20 seconds
but critically the approach enables service teams and relationship managers to
focus on clients’ needs rather than the mechanics of authentication.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The system
has been in action at Barclays since mid-2012 and has certainly gained early
endorsement from customers: in a recent poll, 93 per cent of client users
scored Barclays at least 9 out of 10 for the speed, ease of use and security of
voice authentication.</span></div>
</blockquote>
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">One company producing voice recognition systems for governments is </span><a href="http://www.agnitio-corp.com/products/government/id-verification" target="_blank">Agnitio Government Products</a>:<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> "Security Solutions</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> speaker
identification and precise ID verification."</span><br />
<br />
Together with other data like your browsing history, travel, spending habits and social media contacts and even your email content, organisations like <a href="http://www.indect-project.eu/" target="_blank">INDECT</a> can profile you even more accurately than you think you know yourself. But like the proverbial boiling frogs, we are already used to the water being warmed up as we go through our lives logging in here, there and everywhere, using RFID passes from public transport to pop concerts and entry into our work places. We can't even access websites without consenting to cookies that collect our data.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Is privacy a human right?</span></span></span><br />
At first glance it would seem obvious, but the foot is in the door when you check out the legal definitions and various charters extant around the world. A nice little project for law buffs:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<a href="https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/key-definitions/" target="_blank">UK data protection Act definitions</a><br />
<a href="http://fra.europa.eu/en/theme/information-society-privacy-and-data-protection" target="_blank">European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights</a></blockquote>
In short: you'll find more loopholes in those laws than there are in a string vest.<br />
<br />
As you can see, biometrics can use all kinds of physical characteristics to identify who were are, each with its own pros and cons. You would think that the people who are driving ID2020 forward are content to select one of these technologies or a combination of them. But no. For some reason, they are obsessed with something beyond existing biometrics. They are not communicating this obsession, but it can be seen in the imagery of their presentations. It is in the kind of tech companies they invite to their sessions. And it is in their Gaia beliefs which underpin their Sustainable Development Goals. They won't rest until they have stamped their indelible mark of ownership in the hands and/or foreheads of man(kind).<br />

Dare I even check? Yes. There is a covenant. In September 2016, UN member states pledged their commitments via the UNHCR, to be finalised in two compacts (a type of covenant between nations):<br />

Unger describes the close relationship between the two dynasties as a marriage. Except that the Saudis are in an even older marriage: their close bonds with the Wahhabi religious clan. Together they rule Saudi Arabia - almost like the ancient kings and priests used to rule together.<br />
<br />
Unger quotes Italy's former prime minister Giulio Andreotti: "It is not unusual for Muslims to be in polygamous relationships". But it is only when you understand ancient covenants (<a href="http://www.fivesolas.com/suzerain.htm" target="_blank">suzerain covenants </a>being an case in point) that you can make sense of this threesome that seems hard to understand from a modern perspective.<br />
<br />
I am beginning to see covenants everywhere.<br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Biometrics will bring us one step closer to in vivo identification: a permanent
ID device held INSIDE our bodies. Banks are leading the way. The password is on its way out. Touch ID and biometric cash machines will soon be seen in High Streets everywhere.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Biometric cash machines have been in existence in Brazil and Japan for some time, but this is the first time the banks are succeeding in getting the system approved for universal use. With some extras.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">To ‘help’ us accept this technology, biosensors are named in one lying
breath with biometric technology. Let me emphasise this again: biometrics is
the technology of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">measuring unique
external features of the living body for identification purposes</b>. Iris
scans, facial recognition, voice recognition, fingerprint and so on. Even
measuring a person’s unique gait or facial muscles to interpret his or her
emotions – these are all examples of biometrics. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">A medical biosensor, MEM, nanoworm or other device is a miniature machine
designed for collecting data, sending and/or receiving data, carrying payloads
or perform other actions <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">inside</b> the
body. Admittedly, you could place a sensor on the skin, but today’s nanosensors
are mostly intended for in vivo use. To describe such a device for ID purposes
as a biometric device is deceptive. But it allows lawmakers to write biosensor ID
technology into new legislation. A good example is the US </span><br /><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;"><a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-bill/34?q=%7B%22search%22%3A[%22cures+act%22]%7D&r=1" target="_blank">The 21st Century Cures Act</a> to give pharmaceutical companies, medical practitioners and researchers

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Banks are the driving force behind this feverish lawmaking. “Governments can play a role”, the <a href="https://cfi-blog.org/center-for-financial-inclusion/" target="_blank">Center for Financial Inclusion</a>
tells the banks. I would like to misquote them here: “</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">We envision financial inclusion as a state”. The
actual sentence on their website is much longer and has a different meaning to
the reader, but I like the first part to describe what is happening in reality.
Financial inclusion is the phrase they use to dupe us into accepting the grip
of a global financial system of slavery. A state. A kingdom of deception.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">With that in mind, today’s news needs to be examined closely:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"></span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This soon
to be amended ID law called PSD2 will allow the European e-commerce market to
blossom.<i>(and the banks can acces what they call 'the unbanked') (and it will lead to a more <a href="https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/banking-and-finance/consumer-finance-and-payments/payment-services_en" target="_blank">integrated EU market</a>)</i></span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">third party
providers will be FinTech companies</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Banks will
get their much desired strong customer authentication (SCA)</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">SCA requires
a combination of at least two independent elements, which could be a physical
item – a card or mobile phone – combined with a password or a biometric
feature, such as fingerprints before making a payment.</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">PSD2 also
establishes a framework for new services linked to consumer payment accounts,
such as the so-called payment initiation services and account information services.<i>
(what does this mean? Consumer Touch Points as mentioned here?)</i></span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Subject to
the scrutiny period, the new rules will be published in the Official Journal of
the EU. Banks and other payment services providers will then have 18 months to
put the security measures and communication tools in place. <i>(I doubt if it will
take that long)</i></span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">developed
by the European Banking Authority in close cooperation with the European
Central Bank. <i>(banks calling the shots)</i></span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The simple
provision of a password or details shown on a credit card will, in most
situations, no longer be sufficient to make a payment. In certain cases, a code
that is only valid for a given transaction will be needed together with the
other two independent elements.</span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Customers
can get access to aggregate information from their accounts held with different
banks <i>(I wonder what will be in the small print you will have to agree to – in any
case, banks have a habit of changing the agreements one-sidedly. Once you’re
in, you’re in)</i> The banks call them monitoring systems. See the 2016 strategic plans below. </span></li>

The United Nations, which I am convinced is merely an executive agency for even higher powers, has brought a host of organisations into existence for the sole purpose of cheating a pledge of loyalty and commitment out of individuals. There are pledge-demanding organisations for young children, young adults and business people. Corporations pledge their loyalty, NGOs have their pledges and so on - a pledge for everyone, no one left behind, everyone must be included.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Where there is an oath, there will be a covenant</span></span></span><br />
But where there is an oath, there will be a covenant. Covenants in themselves are not bad, far from it. In its purest form, a covenant can bring people together under a beneficial system for everyone's wellbeing under the authority of a loving God. The word 'covenant' literally means: to come together. A covenant is a marriage. And just like there are good and bad marriages, covenants can either liberate or enslave people. That doesn't make the institution obsolete - rather, it is the behaviour of masters and servants that will make a covenant succeed or fail.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What is the legal definition of a covenant? </span></span></span><br />
<a href="https://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/p/the-two-covenants.html" target="_blank">In The Two Covenants</a> I have briefly outlined the features of a covenant, but the legal ramifications involve land, real estate and property as outlined in <a href="https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/covenant" target="_blank">this legal dictionary</a>. Notice how <b>covenants can</b> <b>not be enforced if they are intended to accomplish an illegal purpose</b>. This is important to remember. A Global Citizen covenant based on lies and deceptions, intended to enslave and own mankind, is not valid in the eyes of the law. Under God's laws, a covenant of evil is null and void. It is without authority, without legal effect, without potency and of no value. <br />

Our world is in the process of returning to a system of governing through covenants. We are about to turn back full circle to a world of city states, each with a 'king' or mayor, with each inhabitant covenanted to a technocratic communitarian system of slavery.<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pope Francis: mediator of the Global Citizen Covenant?</span></span></span><br />
Let's go back again to December 2016, when <a href="http://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/2017/02/the-global-citizen-movement-utopia-or.html" target="_blank">five hundred CEOs of the world's most powerful companies convened</a> to discuss which actions they were going to take to bring the Global Citizen system to the ends of the earth. But why did they need the Pope's blessing? This was unusual, unless you start to see it from a covenant (or a compact) perspective.<br />
<br />
In ancient times, covenants were always drawn up under the authority of a deity. The gathering in Rome had an unmistakable flavour of entering into a covenant through a mediator of whichever deity the Pope was representing. Just like the high priests of ancient societies.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Deceptive reporting by Time magazine!</span></span></span><br />
Notice how deceptively Time Magazine uses the word 'impact' in its headline, but reports on forging a new, inverted commas, "social compact" in the article itself: "Social" is a deception again, because a compact is a legal instrument. Or would be, if it was done according to law and for the genuine benefit of the nations agreeing to such a treaty.<br />

Finally, I would like to draw your attention to yet another global covenant (or is it all one and the same covenant?) In 2014,<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"> Jerry
White, deputy assistant Secretary of State in the U.S. government’s Bureau of
Conflict and Stabilization Operations became a 'poster boy' for appealing to the world's religions to enter into a covenant with the Vatican. Not a 'World Peace' covenant or a 'Unity' covenant, but here is the same ominous wording again:</span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB"> </span></span></span></span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">While

We are rapidly moving towards a world where there will be only two choices left: to enter into an illegal and unsustainable Global Covenant of lies and deception, or enter into a different covenant we can read about in the Bible. We don't need Pope Francis as a mediator for any covenant. We already have a Mediator for a new and wonderful covenant, the beneficial system of government that will preside over a better world in hopefully only a short while. That Mediator is easy to find: Jesus Christ the soon to come King over all the nations.<br />

Are secret agents setting up a suffocating life of slavery for us? Are these cruel ancient roots being revived with the addition of modern technology?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The oath: a solemn promise of loyalty </span></span></span><br />
Today, our modern language still holds many remnants of ancient covenants. "I do," say the bride and bridegroom as they enter into a bonded relationship called a marriage covenant. They give their vows to each other, their true pledge of faithfulness. Civil servants and ministers have their oath of office. Kings swear to uphold the law and serve their people, while whole cabinets swear their allegiance to the king in return. In ancient times, lords and their vassals swore loyalty to each other: the lord to "shelter and protect", the vassal to "help and advise". According to Jim Willie, Angela Merkel pledged Germany's allegiance to the victors of WWII according to this ancient custom. Perhaps operation 'Overlord' was aptly named.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The oath marks the exact moment of entering into a covenant</span></span></span> <br />
The oath marks the moment of joining into a covenant between a senior and one or more juniors. "I will" is an older English form of this oath or pledge. It is a solemn promise of loyalty. From the moment these two words are spoken, the new relationship goes into effect: the senior provides and protects while the junior obeys or yields and works to achieve his or her lord's goals. The Hebrew word for 'servant', the junior in a covenant, is 'abad' - builder. A builder of the lord's fiefdom.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">United Nations behaving in a feudal manner</span></span></span><br />
Seen from a covenant point of view, we can see that the United Nations is behaving in the ancient feudal way of lording it over nations. It promises to provide (end poverty) and protect through its vaccines, armies and equal rights. So does the UN have an oath of loyalty? Is anyone going to be expected to pledge "I will" in servitude to its goals and objectives? The answer is: yes. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The lie: pledging to build a better world together</span></span></span><br />
But first, the <a href="https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/?menu=1300" target="_blank">seventeen goals</a>, also knows as SDGs or Sustainable Development Goals which describe the actions to be pledged. Because ancient feudal systems are based on work and servitude, clear cut rights and duties, not on conceptual principles. In this case, the UN rights and duties are totally twisted and skewed: the 'overlord' of the UN claims all the rights while there are only duties to be carried out by the slaves. Slaves will have no rights under this system of feudal technocracy. These 'global goals' dupe and deceive individuals into thinking they are pledging to build a better world together. <br />

The UN has crafted a plethora of organisations to brainwash children, young people, adults and even organisations into a willingness to take an oath to become a Global Citizen and use their resources towards achieving these seventeen objectives so that the will of the UN may be done. The Global Citizen organisation I often highlight on this blog is only one of many. There is a Global Citizen stamping ground for business leaders, NGOs, banks, the old and the young - no one left behind, all included - as we can see from the following examples. And each one comes with a pledge for its vassals to work towards the goals as commanded in the UN's SDGs.<br />

In true Global Citizen style, children are being taught to take an oath for 'social action'. "If you start young you don't need to sell it", is their adage. Through <a href="http://www.iwill.org.uk/about-us/step-up-to-serve/" target="_blank">"Step Up To Serve"</a>, they are being urged to take a vow in true feudal style.

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">I hereby
pledge to live as a Global Citizen<br />
throughout my life from this day forward.<br />

I will strive for a deeper understanding of the root causes of<br />
poverty and seek innovative means to address them.<br />
<br />
I understand that my actions will have consequences that will have an impact on
<br />
other parts of the world as well as future generations.<br />
<br />
I will take it upon myself to think critically about<br />
the social and environmental consequences of my actions. <br />
<br />
I will make purchases carefully, taking into account<br />
the social and environmental factors of the creation<br />
and transport of all consumer goods.<br />
<br />
I will minimize the waste I produce and<br />
make a positive impact on the environment. <br />
<br />
I will build awareness about issues of social and environmental justice<br />
in any and all communities that I am a par of. <br />
<br />
In whatever field I find myself employed, I will do everything I can to ensure
that <br />
it adheres to the utmost standards of social and environmental consideration. <br />
<br />
I understand that the only way to truly achieve lasting change<br />
is to further develop a globally connected mindset<br />
and engage those around me to foster fair, equal<br />
and sustained partnerships with others in this world <br />
<br />For this reason I, as a Global Citizen, will strive to reach a deeper understanding
of issues relevant to global poverty and act with compassion, serving as an advocate
and activist for positive change in the world<span class="bodytext1"><b>.</b></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Global Citizen oath and the Mark of the Beast?</span></span></span><br />
Many Christians are worried about the 666 system as forewarned in the Bible. So far, we have seen the development of the RFID codes featuring the 666 code, and we are now on the cusp of a world ruled by the Internet of Everything administered on the blockchain through this RFID technology. Digital currencies look set to become the norm while cash seems to be disappearing - in this world, it will soon become impossible to buy or sell unless you have given your solemn promise to the system as a Global Citizen. Coincidentally, the word 'citizen' comes up as an exact 666 in Jewish gematria.<br />
<br />
So what will be the Mark of the Beast? A mark is a visible distinguishing feature, something you can see. It is also a means of identification. So it is interesting to see the drive towards a Digital Financial Identity. The clues from the Bible are gradually coming together when we get a preview of sworn global citizens who have accepted being digitally tagged in their hands or on their foreheads.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Don't take the Global Citizen Pledge</span></span></span><br />
Taking the Global Citizen vow will be the exact point when people enter into a covenant with this cruelly deceptive system of ownership. It will be a personal choice and a conscious decision. Wake up and educate yourself about <a href="http://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/p/the-two-covenants.html" target="_blank">what a true covenant really is</a>. Only then will you be able to see through the lies. But it will be very difficult to make the right choice: it will be a choice of life and death. My advice is: don't take the oath to become a covenanted and bonded Global Citizen.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5015577359804667576.post-14283731184897016082017-11-16T00:06:00.001+01:002017-11-16T00:07:31.395+01:00A world of biometrics, biosensors and biochips<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

is changing much faster than we can keep track of. Take digital medicine.
Biosensors are now being applied in new areas that make you wonder if there is
still such a thing as patient confidentiality, autonomy and sovereignty. Two examples out of a whole host of new high tech innovations:</span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">The FDA has
given approval for a bio-tagged pill that sends a signal when it has been
swallowed. No more One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest where patients can pretend
to take a pill they don’t want. Your doctor, family, psychiatrist, prison guard and
the government can now monitor compliance. The first drug to be publicly
tagged is a schizophrenia drug – who could possibly object? It’s better for
society as a whole and for the individual patient to have this monitor in
place, right? Except it is the thin end of the wedge. Soon we won’t be allowed
to exert our rights over our own bodies any more. Tag everything, track and
trace everything that moves.</span></div>

increasingly important role that smartphones are being given, even with this new digital medicine. We are being

small step towards the more convenient chip in our hands. Phones can be lost,
phones can fall down toilets, they can be stolen and they can break down. Their
batteries run down and other people can use them. Soon they will only have a
function as our own personal reader, to see what information is kept on our in

We need to be aware of the big picture. We are about to be hit with an overwhelming array of new inventions. If we refuse to embrace them and incorporate them into our lives, we will lose access to the comforts we have grown accustomed to. Next, we will lose access to life's vital necessities unless we buy into a digital world connecting our bodies to a worldwide web of biosensors.<br />

I have come across some news about an outbreak of the bubonic plague outbreak in Madagascar. I immediately thought to myself: what if I wanted to pressurise all of mankind into accepting an ID tagged vaccine, how could I put this crisis to good use? Could this development be useful to the designers and actors of the ID2020 deception? Regardless whether this outbreak is man made or due to natural causes, how could it affect us all if it isn't contained? A quick internet roundup on the topic:<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Plague is
endemic in Madagascar,
but the outbreak that has caused 1,192 suspected cases since August is
especially worrying because it started earlier in the season than usual and has
hit urban rather than rural areas. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" data-reactid="34">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In addition, two thirds of the cases are of the pneumonic plague, the
deadliest form of the disease.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" data-reactid="35">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">“The total number of cases (1,192) is already three times higher than
the average annual total,” the National Office for Risk and Disaster Management
said in a report on Wednesday. <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-madagascar-plague/plague-kills-124-in-madagascar-cities-most-affected-report-idUSKBN1CU0Y5" target="_blank">Reuters</a></span>

<br />
The disease can manifest itself in three ways: bubonic plague (Yersinia pestis bacteria in the lymph system), pneumonic plague (in the lungs) and septicaemic plague (in the blood vessels). The pneumonic plague has a mortality of about 90%. <br />
<br />
Pneumonic Plague: Its potential for contagion, emergence of multiple antibiotic strains and possible use as a bioweapon makes the creation of an efficient plague vaccine an immediate priority. <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/275015477_Plague_vaccines" target="_blank">Researchgate.net: Plague Vaccines</a><br />
<br />
The disease has a history of use in biological warfare dating back many centuries, and is considered a threat due ti its ease of culture and ability to remain in circulation among local rodents for a long period of time. The weaponised threat comes mainly in the form of pneumonic plague (infection by inhalation). <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioterrorism" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioterrorism </a><br />
<br />
Aerosolised Y. pestis, causing primary pneumonic plague, has been recognised by bioterrorism experts as having one of the highest potentials as a bioterrorism agent due to its extremely high mortality, its uptake into enzootic and epizootic animals as well as humans, and its ability to spread over a large area.<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB"><a href="https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/829233-overview" target="_blank">emedicine.medscape.com</a></span></span><br />
<br />
Some scholars have even suggested that the collapse of the Roman Empire may be linked to the spread of plague by Roman soldiers returning home from battle in the Persian Gulf in 165 AD.<br />
<br />
... massive labour shortages due to high mortality rates sped up the development of many economic, social, and technical modernizations. It has even been considered a factor in the emergence of the Renaissance in the late 14th century... <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/plague/history/index.html" target="_blank">CDC.gov</a><br />

Biometric Update decided not to quote the whole India Times article though. Omissions can say a few things about the entity deciding to filter certain information out, and Biometrics Update is no different. Their organisation exists to promote biometrics, so the following can't be very helpful to the industry:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br />
"If Aadhaar is not certified by any government official to be a proof of
identity, address, resident status or even existence, and if the Aadhaar
database has never been verified or audited by anyone, than its use for
governance is bad, if not mala fide," he said. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">
Saraf believes that no data protection or privacy law is adequate to cure
Aadhaar of these ills. He feels that the threat to Aadhaar data can only be
neutered by destroying it and prohibiting the use of Aadhaar, as was done in
the case of national ID data in the UK.</span></div>

The comment section of the India Times article reveals more worrying details. Two excerpts:<br />

<br />
UKColumn has done some <a href="https://www.ukcolumn.org/article/grenfell-tower-and-search-truth" target="_blank">fine reporting</a> on the different aspects of governments involvement in <a href="https://www.channel4.com/news/grenfell-tower-how-channel-4-news-investigation-revealed-relatives" target="_blank">this tragic disaster.</a> From health and safety to building regulations and housing - from the value of the land to the government's push for so-called gentrification and on to the misappropriation of public donations - the list of questionable practices and injustices just goes on and on. But I was very surprised to see the unholy specter of biometrics raise its ugly horns in the black shadows of the burnt out tower.<br />
<br />

Survivors of the fire have been offered a Faustian deal by Theresa May: give us your DNA and we will rehouse you in salubrious accommodation. Here we see another application of <a href="http://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/2017/07/the-id2020-pilot-refugees.html" target="_blank">targeting refugees</a> to trial the ID2020 project - the biometric version, that is. Except that DNA doesn't really come under biometrics: biometrics only involves measurable parts of the human body like one's face, fingerprints, irises, temperature, heart rate and so on. DNA needs to be analysed in a lab and cannot be instantly accessed, which makes it different. But that doesn't make the instigators of ID2020 any less interested in it, as I explained in my last post <a href="http://globalcitizennews.blogspot.nl/2017/08/googles-search-for-missing-link.html" target="_blank">Google's Search for the Missing Link</a>.

won't allow them. Consequently, we won’t see the ID2020 system
implemented fully until they have found an in vivo device that can
circumvent our defenses. </span></div>

ID number for every global citizen could easily be realised through
existing
technology. The Indian Aadhaar system is a good example of this: if the
real
purpose is to provide access to bank accounts, medical services and
more, then
there would be no need to take it further. (Pramod Varma, the Chief
Architect of Aadhaar explains how it works from the 2:00:30 mark of <a href="http://webtv.un.org/watch/2017-id2020-platform-for-change-summit/5476783692001" target="_blank">this recording</a> at the UN).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But research shows that the American public is more than ready to embrace biometrics too. <a href="http://www.biometricupdate.com/201708/morphotrust-study-finds-most-americans-are-ready-for-mobile-biometric-drivers-licenses" target="_blank">Recent market research </a>shows
how 80% of the sampled Americans would like to replace their standard
driving license with a biometric version on their smartphones.Mastercard
asked Oxford University to carry out <a href="http://www.biometricupdate.com/201706/mastercard-and-oxford-university-unveil-framework-for-mobile-biometric-banking" target="_blank">similar research</a>
in the UK. Conclusion: an overwhelming majority of 93% of mobile
consumers would prefer biometrics to passwords. They call it
'mobility'. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">But even if
we were to carry a universal smart card or a chipped ID bracelet or a mobile

someone outside its reach. We could choose to evade its controlling power over
us. And that is what is bothering them so much. ‘They’ don’t just want SOME
control over us. They don’t even want a lot of control. They want it ALL. And
the only invention that can give them this is an injectable biosensor with an ID

everyone into accepting their siren song of ‘ending poverty’, ‘saving the

Is the topic of nanotechnology, biosensors and other cutting edge identity carrying devices taboo? Accenture MD David Treat alluded to an earlier discussion that was kept out of publication when he said: <br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Biometrics not suitable for universal ID?</span></span></span><br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biometrics" target="_blank">Biometrics</a> refers to metrics related to human characteristics like fingerprinting, facial recognition or iris scans. Current biometrics are quite foolproof and tamper-proof: modern fingerprint readers scan the tissue underneath surface fingerprints and can detect whether a finger is real or synthetic. The Indian <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aadhaar" target="_blank">Aadhaar biometric identity system</a> relies on a combination of ten fingerprints, two iris scans and a photograph, which makes it extremely reliable. So why is biometric technology supposed to be on the way out? Perhaps a the lack of universal scanners if the global ID system were to be implemented for just about EVERYTHING?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The deafening silence</span></span></span><br />
The soon to be implemented digital identity is to be used for applications as diverse as accessing a bank account, catching a train, getting a tooth filled, borrowing a book from the library or taking an exam. If the ID2020 system goes ahead without any delays, babies from the age of 6 weeks (or whenever they receive their first vaccination) will have their data stored based on their unique identifying number. As they go though life, their medical history, DNA, education, social connections, taxes, acquisition of property, spending behaviour, travel history as well as their religious and political views will be stored, profiled and monetised by authorities, institutions, companies and individuals. Having their fingerprints and irises scanned at every transaction or mutation would be too cumbersome, time consuming and psychologically confrontational. Invisible scanning would be far less threatening and invasive. An injectable biosensor would be the only way to achieve that, but there is a deafening silence on this particular topic among the speakers who wax so eloquent about the virtues of a digital ID for everyone. If they are so well informed about identity technology, why keep silent about the only one that ticks all of their boxes?<br />
<br />
If we want to know how far advanced their plans are, then we need to go to the biotech insiders: their newsletters, their money sources and their conferences like this one:<br />

Biosensor technologies are being developed at breakneck speed, with new applications and combinations with other technologies sprouting from their inventor's brains in quick succession - just think of what would happen if personal digital IDs were linked to the Internet of Things! These new technologies put a lot of power in the hands of a few heedless adventurers, with caution being thrown to wind. This should be enough to alarm even the most trusting among us. This upcoming biosensor summit should give us a better idea of things to come.<br />
