Information on this channel about the Mark of the Beast mostly focuses on banks in the developed world.
We assume that new technology starts in wealthier countries
and then gradually trickles down to the poor countries.
But often, the truth is quite the opposite.
Citizens in developing countries are more vulnerable
Making them into ideal guinea pigs.
Poverty makes it easier for governments to bully people into accepting changes.
In my home country, India
A national ID card, referred to as "AADHAAR" card was introduced in September 2010.
Citizens were given a 12 digit number, photographs, finger prints, and iris scan, stored in a data base.
The poor were told they would benefit the most from the ID card
as they could use it to access subsidized food like rice and sugar
and basic necessities like kerosene for cooking.
Without the card, they would no longer access these benefits.
Really, the poor were left with no choice but to sign-up, or starve.
The public were told that the card was not mandatory, but the push to sign-up was intense.
Not just for adults, but for children, as well.
Schools were used to get children of all ages entered into the database.
Now six years later, 1 billion people have the card.
It is the largest national ID project in the world.
Not surprisingly, the system has changed over those 6 years.
In 2012, just two years after the launch
the government introduced a scheme to use the card for cashless transactions of any size.
linking them to bank accounts.
This is called the direct cash transfer scheme.
The push now is to upgrade to a microchipped smart-card.
which will be required to access more and more government services, like health care and education.
The government even uses them to monitor work attendance for all public servants.
The AADHAAR ID card started out as a voluntary system, supposedly to help the poor.
But all of that is changing.
The government is not happy that only 75% of the population signed up.
It wants them all!
They now want to make it compulsory for everyone to have the card.
Those who don't will be regarded as criminals.
There were initial concerns about privacy.
The government promised that no one would be able to access the information,
But now, more and more agencies are linking into the data base.
The plan is to give the details of all citizens to security forces,
so they can monitor everyone's movement.
In the space of 6 years, the changes in India have become enormous.
A billion people are becoming more and more dependent on an ID system
that can be used to control them.
It won't take much for the information to be used to persecute minorities.
All it takes is for the wrong politician to be voted in.
Every indication is that India will continue moving in this direction.
What seemed unbelievable 10 years ago is happening before our eyes.
The country with the world's biggest population may be one of the first to become cashless.
And most people say it like it's a good thing!
It's not just happening in India. It's happening everywhere.
We need to open our eyes and see where this is leading.
