Periodically, strategically placed individuals get very clear pictures of the future ...
"I may live to see the day when the world will not use silver, gold or currencies as legal tender; but only a universal number system," The Day the Dollar Dies. Willard Cantelon - 1973
Dr. Cantelon was talking about this as early as 1939 ... not as a wild guess, but by information he gleaned from keeping company with the pre-WWII movers and shakers who formed the post-war European Common Market and the United Nations!
What did Supreme Court justice William Joseph Brennan know in the early 1960’s that caused him to make this statement:
"The right of privacy is the obverse of freedom of speech in another sense. This Court has lately recognized that the First Amendment freedoms may include the right, under certain circumstances, to anonymity .... Electronic surveillance destroys all anonymity and privacy ... it makes government privy to everything that goes on." Lopez v. United States 1963
Most of the WWII surveillance and code-breaking secrets weren’t unveiled until the 1970’s Watergate scandal, but the unique characteristics of gathering bulk quantities of data were being understood & utilized. Chris Andersen compiled years of that analysis and saw it create almost prophecy-level power: "Who knows why people do what they do? The point is they do it, and we can track and measure it with unprecedented fidelity. With enough data, the numbers speak for themselves." THE END OF THEORY: THE DATA DELUGE MAKES THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD OBSOLETE - Wired Magazine 6-23-2008
Then the Watergate mess forced one of the shadow organizations to show its face. Many of the Church and Pike committees members were blindsided when they discovered the unknown National Security Agency (NSA). It caused Senator Frank Church to give the apocalyptic “Abyss” warning.
Are we still projecting far into the future .... I’m not too sure of that?
India finished assigning UIDAI biometric serial numbers to all 1.2 Billion citizens. The same Accenture system, is currently managing the Syrian refugee crisis through the United Nations (UNHCR) and financed by ... the World Bank (WBG)!
What is their stated “financial inclusion” goal: “Around 2 billion people don’t use formal financial services and more than 50% of adults in the poorest households are unbanked. Financial inclusion is a key enabler to reducing poverty and boosting prosperity. WBG President Kim has called for Universal Financial Access (UFA) by 2020.” www.worldbank.org/en/topic/financialinclusion
Financial inclusion is becoming a priority for policymakers, regulators and development agencies globally:
Financial inclusion has been identified as an enabler for 7 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
The G20 committed to advance financial inclusion worldwide and reaffirmed its commitment to implement the G20 High-Level Principles for Digital Financial Inclusion.
The World Bank Group considers financial inclusion a key enabler to reduce extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity, and has put forward an ambitious global goal to reach Universal Financial Access (UFA) by 2020.
Are different disciplines and efforts converging on similar timelines? I think 2025 would be considered near-term. “Fast-forward to 2025. At this point, if Rogers’s and MC10’s dreams come true, a baby in a developed country will be tagged with several Biostamps at birth.” A Temporary Tattoo That Senses Through Your Skin - IEEE Spectrum Magazine by Tekla S.

"Chief justice of the U.S. is a pretty big job. You lead the Supreme Court conferences where cases are discussed and voted on. You preside over oral arguments. When in the majority, you decide who writes the opinion. You get a cool robe that you can decorate with gold stripes. Oh, and one more thing: You have exclusive, unaccountable, lifetime power to shape the surveillance state." Chief Justice Roberts Is Awesome Power Behind FISA Court - Ezra Klein Bloomberg.com 07-02-2013
... and there is more! How did an uneducated Jewish fisherman, incarcerated on a prison island off the coast of Greece ... know?"It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name. This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666." Revelation 13:16-18
If Scripture is true about what’s coming, we can trust what it states about our eternity. Why not settle it now … when you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior (He already paid the price for our eternal life), you can KNOW Heaven is your home.
“I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” I John 5:13
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
