The Beast System
What is the Mark of the Beast?
Revelation 13:16-17
16 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,
17 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.
- The Bible, New International Version
Some believe that the mark of the Beast is a microchip that will be inserted into the hand, as discussed by global bankers.(1) Others believe it is the nanotechnology hidden in vaccines.(2)
The Bible description mentions a mark on the hand or face. I have been thinking that this mark could be the cell phone. The cell phone has an infrared camera that scans the face to identify the person. There are cameras on both sides of the phone watching in two directions, always. The face scan could be the mark on the head.(3) The mark on the hand might refer to the phone held in the hand.
Many Christians prefer to believe that the mark of the Beast is a chip in the hand or some other thing that they don’t currently have. They don’t want to admit that they could already have the mark of the Beast on them. But this could be a case of denial.
We can look at China, the country with the most advanced Beast System, and see that the people are using cell phones as the linchpin technology that makes their system work.
The digital identity is tied to the cell phone. Talking about chips in the hand seems like a red herring as few people are going to consent to an implanted chip. But nearly everyone has or wants to have a cell phone.
Consider for a moment how many banks and services require you to use a cellphone to receive SMS messages? I do not know of any requirements for a chip in the hand to engage in business. There was a short period where vaccine requirements (“passports”) were being pushed to gain access to public spaces but this has largely faded (for the moment). If we consider the statement from the Bible: “they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark” the cell phone is clearly the best candidate for the mark of the Beast. It is the obvious requirement for engaging in an increasingly digitized economy.
The Beast is clever. As Mark Twain said:
“It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled.”
And the cost of being fooled is high.
It is clear that we are losing our children and family members to the screens. Increased screen time is associated with delayed development of communication skills, problem solving, fine motor and personal and social skills in children. It results in thinning of the brain’s cortex, the area of the brain related to critical thinking and reasoning. There is emerging evidence that there are structural brain changes from the use of these devices.(4)
Cell Phone apps can collect a variety of data from users, including:
-- Personal content such as photos, videos, voice prints, documents, contacts, emotional reactions to video and words, purchase records, product reviews and rating, hobbies, personal interests, age, gender, income level, religious beliefs, race, political affiliation, medical information.
-- Usage data, including how you interact with the app, the features you use, links you click on, comments you post and the content you view.
-- Personal information such as your name, email address, and phone number.
-- Device information such as your unique device identifier, operating system, and hardware information.
-- Location data, which can be collected through GPS, Wi-Fi, or cell tower information. Shipping address for online purchases.
-- Connection information, including your IP address, network provider, signal strength, and usage patterns.
The pages you like, the friends you have – each and every detail – feed into an algorithm which predicts your choices and creates a psychological profile, which is then sold to advertising companies or governments.(5) It is also used to shape your perceptions of what is real by directing to you information tailored to your psychological profile.(6)
In an interview with polymath, Harald Kautz-Vella, Dr. Lee Merritt, MD, asks what is Artificial Intelligence. Harald explains:
With enough information on biology, advancements in computer technology and sufficient data, humans have become hackable animals.(8)
Harald sees Artificial Intelligence (AI) - with its pervasive network of cameras (government and private) and hidden microphones in cell phones, SMART appliances (such as SMART TV´s), new computerized cars – working to gather information, which feeds into the Cloud. These data feeds become the all-seeing and all-knowing eye of Lucifer.
He says that the technosphere is the Beast.
Artificial Intelligence is the Beast.
The Beast in China
Ecuador’s all-seeing eye is made in China. The country's surveillance and response system, ECU-911, is entirely Chinese-built and funded. The Chinese Communist Party government also controls and has access to the networks. What we should consider is that Ecuador has bought not only the surveillance hardware but also a Chinese philosophy about control of citizens.
British journalist Aaron Sarin says in China in the Age of Surveillance,
“There are now an estimated 540 million surveillance cameras in China. Cameras watch citizens as they shop and dine. Cameras stare at residents as they leave home in the morning and return at night. In the office, cameras spy on workers inside toilet cubicles. And if you, the Chinese citizen, are particularly unfortunate, you may arrive home one day and find that a camera has been installed within your property. Supposedly a quarantine measure, it crouches there on the cabinet wall like a hostile creature that has somehow found its way in—watching as you eat, watching as you watch TV; a silent, unwanted houseguest. Cameras also lurk in the homes of the mentally ill. The state considers them too volatile to live unmonitored, but no apparent thought has been given to the special torment produced by an ever-present eye during periods of psychological distress.”
“In Wuhan, parents take their children to data collection points for iris scans. In Xinjiang, travelers applying for passports are required to provide voice samples. In Zhengzhou, residents queue outside apartment blocks, waiting to have their faces scanned in order to enter their own homes. Everywhere, the masses surrender their biometric markers. And up above, drones disguised as doves hover in the smog, watching.”
“China is home to eight of the world’s 10 most surveilled cities (the luckless occupants of Chongqing live at number one). And the surveillance camera of 2022 is a very different animal to the one we remember from our childhoods. It has evolved a whole new set of features: facial recognition, gait recognition, body scanning, geo tracking. Police in Zhongshan city are now using cameras that can record audio within a 300-foot radius. Their plan is to analyze the audio using voice recognition software and then combine the results with that same camera’s facial recognition data, quickly identifying targets.
The nation’s schoolchildren are monitored throughout the day. Party media reports that cameras record students’ facial expressions and log ‘whether they look happy, upset, angry, fearful, or disgusted.’ Some will learn, of course, to mask their feelings permanently. But others won’t be able to preserve that private space. They will internalize the watching eye of the authorities and their thoughts will never really be their own. Schools down in the southern regions of Guizhou and Guangxi have taken an extra step toward dystopia. Should any of their students manage to slip away from the cameras’ gaze, an alarm will be triggered—uniforms now come with microchips in the shoulders.”
“The eyes of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) hang above and all around as you walk through the city, but they also peer out from your jacket, your jeans, your purse. Smartphones have become all but indispensable in China. Most people use Alipay and WeChat for everything from flight tickets to family shopping, from their morning coffee to their monthly bills, and the CCP is making full use of this opportunity to harvest data and monitor online behavior. COVID-19 has proved a blessing for Beijing: health-code apps help the authorities to stalk a person’s movements.”
“That smartphone in your pocket is like a bright flashing beacon to the Party’s ubiquitous phone tracking devices, which lurk within cameras, or nearby, resembling WiFi routers. The trackers hunt for specific red flags such as Uyghur-to-Mandarin dictionary apps, which would identify the phone owner as a member of the oppressed Uyghur ethnic group. But they also scour your mobile for personal details like social media usernames, regardless of your ethnicity. Some of the trackers are called “WiFi sniffers,” hiding on public WiFi networks to spy on phone activity. Others are called “IMSI-catchers.” They masquerade as mobile towers, luring your phone into making a connection. Once connected, your personal material can be raided, your conversations tapped, etc.”
“Soon, AI-powered platforms will manage cities, controlling everything from urban planning to electricity consumption to firefighting. Of course, these “safe cities” will just ensure that few people are safe from the authorities and the unsleeping bright eyes of the State. Hangzhou provides a snapshot of the future. China’s tech giants practically run the city, but they are required to share their data with the government so it can be combed for ‘threats to national security.’ In the eyes of a fanatical, paranoid, illegitimate regime, almost any behavior could fall into this vast elastic category.”
“Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s techno-totalitarian reach stretches far beyond China’s ‘safe cities’ and the country’s borders. The so-called Digital Silk Road unspools across the map in all directions. AI-enhanced cameras are sold to Malaysia in the south and Mongolia in the north. They are shipped out across the Indian Ocean to Sri Lanka. Further west, they are reaching African shores: Egypt, Kenya, Mauritius, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe. On the far side of the world, with the help of Chinese loans, they are now arriving in Venezuela, Ecuador and Bolivia.”
“This is not just good business; the Communist Party controls the networks and their data.”
“The next frontier will be micro-expression and emotion-recognition tech. Financial services conglomerate Ping An […] boasts that 54 tiny, involuntary facial movements can now be identified in the fractions of a second before the brain assumes full control, allowing for a detailed analysis of whether or not the applicant is being truthful. Meanwhile cameras probe faces at customs, searching for hints of stress or nervousness.”
“The CCP’s paranoid police force already arrests citizens for such depravity as ‘frequent entry into a residential compound with different companions.’ And most arrests already lead to a prison sentence, for the simple reason that torture is typically used to wrench confessions from detainees. Now the new technology is arriving—a technology for which success is measured in the numbers of suspects identified and detained. China’s prisons have always heaved with innocent people; they will need to build many more.”
“The surveillance state watches everyone. There is, however, a blacklist consisting of those who require particular attention, and it’s a long one. It extends from fugitives and suspected terrorists all the way through to migrant workers, the mentally ill, and foreigners. (There is also a redlist: government officials, secret police, intelligence agents—the people whose behavior must never be flagged, no matter how unorthodox.) But the state is most interested in the country’s dissenting voices.”(9)
In a Time Magazine report, ‘The Entire System Is Designed to Suppress Us.’ What the Chinese Surveillance State Means for the Rest of the World: “China’s restive region of Xinjiang has helped put an estimated 1 million people into ‘re-education centers’ akin to concentration camps, according to the U.N. Many were arrested, tried and convicted by computer algorithm based on data harvested by the cameras that study every 20 steps in some parts.
In the name of fighting terrorism, members of predominantly Muslim ethnic groups—mostly Uyghurs but also Kazakhs, Uzbeks and Kyrgyz—are forced to surrender biometric data like photos, fingerprints, DNA, blood and voice samples. Police are armed with a smartphone app that then automatically flags certain behaviors, by reverse engineering according to the advocacy group Human Rights Watch. Those who grow a beard, leave their house via a back door or visit the mosque often are red-flagged by the system and interrogated.
Sarsenbek Akaruli, 45, a veterinarian and trader from the Xinjiang city of Ili, was arrested on Nov. 2, 2017, and remains in a detention camp after police found the banned messaging app WhatsApp on his cell phone, according to his wife Gulnur Kosdaulet. A citizen of neighboring Kazakhstan, she has traveled to Xinjiang four times to search for him but found even friends in the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) reluctant to help. ‘Nobody wanted to risk being recorded on security cameras talking to me in case they ended up in the camps themselves,’ she tells TIME.
Surveillance governs all aspects of camp life. Bakitali Nur, 47, a fruit and vegetable exporter in the Xinjiang town of Khorgos, was arrested after authorities became suspicious of his frequent business trips abroad. The father of three says he spent a year in a single room with seven other inmates, all clad in blue jumpsuits, forced to sit still on plastic stools for 17 hours straight as four HikVision cameras recorded every move. [HikVision is a Chinese surveillance camera company operating in Ecuador]. ‘Anyone caught talking or moving was forced into stress positions for hours at a time,’ he says.
Bakitali was released only after he developed a chronic illness. But his surveillance hell continued over five months of virtual house arrest, which is common for former detainees. He was forbidden from traveling outside his village without permission, and a CCTV camera was installed opposite his home. Every time he approached the front door, a policeman would call to ask where he was going. He had to report to the local government office every day to undergo ‘political education’ and write a self-criticism detailing his previous day’s activities. Unable to travel for work, former detainees like Bakitali are often obliged to toil at government factories for wages as miserly as 35¢ per day, according to former workers interviewed by TIME. ‘The entire system is designed to suppress us,’ Bakitali says in Almaty, Kazakhstan, where he escaped in May.
“The result is dystopian. When every aspect of life is under constant scrutiny, it’s not just ‘bad’ behavior that must be avoided. Muslims in Xinjiang are under constant pressure to act in a manner that the CCP would approve. While posting controversial material online is clearly reckless, not using social media at all could also be considered suspicious, so Muslims share glowing news about the country and Party as a means of defense. Homes and businesses now feel obliged to display a photograph of China’s President Xi Jinping in a manner redolent of North Koreans’ public displays for founder Kim II Sung. Asked why he had a picture of Xi in his taxi, one Uyghur driver replied nervously, ‘It’s the law.’
Besides the surveillance cameras, people are required to register their ID numbers for activities as mundane as renting a karaoke booth. Muslims are forced from buses to have their IDs checked while ethnic Han Chinese passengers wait in their seats. At intersections, drivers are ushered from their vehicles by armed police and through Tera-Snap ‘revolving body detector’ equipment. In the southern Xinjiang oasis town of Hotan, a facial–recognition booth is even installed at the local produce market. When the system struggled to compute the face of this Western TIME reporter, the impatient Han women queuing behind berated the operator, ‘Hurry up, he’s not a Uyghur, let him through.’
China strenuously denies human-rights abuses in Xinjiang, justifying its surveillance leviathan as battling the ‘three evils’ of ‘separatism, terrorism and extremism.’[…]
Such intrusive government is anathema to most in the West, where aversion to surveillance is much broader and more visceral. Whether it’s our Internet browser history, selfies uploaded to social media, data scavenged from fitness trackers or smart-home devices possibly recording the most intimate bedroom conversations, we are all living in what’s been dubbed a ‘surveillance economy.’ In her book The Age of Surveillance Capitalism, Shoshana Zuboff describes this as ‘human experience [broken down into data] as free raw material for commercial practices of extraction, prediction, and sales.’
Even in China, where civil liberties have long been sacrificed for what the CCP deems the greater good, privacy concerns are bubbling up [...] In Chongqing, a move to install surveillance cameras in 15,000 licensed taxicabs has met a backlash from drivers. ‘Now I can’t cuddle my girlfriend off duty or curse my bosses,’ one driver grumbles to TIME.”(10)
The Beast in Israel
A report recently surfaced on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being applied to the war in Gaza, ‘A mass assassination factory’: Inside Israel’s calculated bombing of Gaza: Permissive airstrikes on non-military targets and the use of an artificial intelligence system have enabled the Israeli army to carry out its deadliest war on Gaza, a +972 and Local Call investigation reveals.
“Habsora (‘The Gospel’) is a military program, which is largely built on Artificial Intelligence and can ‘generate’ targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a ‘mass assassination factory.’ […]
According to the sources, the increasing use of AI-based systems like Habsora allows the army to carry out strikes on residential homes where a single Hamas member lives on a massive scale, even those who are junior Hamas operatives. Yet testimonies of Palestinians in Gaza suggest that since October 7, the army has also attacked many private residences where there was no known or apparent member of Hamas or any other militant group residing. Such strikes, sources confirmed to +972 and Local Call, can knowingly kill entire families in the process. […]
By Nov. 23, 2023 Israel had killed 14,800 Palestinians in Gaza; approximately 6,000 of them were children and 4,000 were women, who together constitute more than 67 percent of the total.
According to intelligence sources, Habsora generates, among other things, automatic recommendations for attacking private residences where people suspected of being Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives live. Israel then carries out large-scale assassination operations through the heavy shelling of these residential homes.
Habsora, explained one of the sources, processes enormous amounts of data that ‘tens of thousands of intelligence officers could not process,’ and recommends bombing sites in real time. Because most senior Hamas officials head into underground tunnels with the start of any military operation, the sources say, the use of a system like Habsora makes it possible to locate and attack the homes of relatively junior operatives.
One former intelligence officer explained that the Habsora system enables the army to run a ‘mass assassination factory,’ in which the ‘emphasis is on quantity and not on quality.’ A human eye ‘will go over the targets before each attack, but it need not spend a lot of time on them.’
‘This is a machine that, with the help of AI, processes a lot of data better and faster than any human, and translates it into targets for attack,’ Kochavi went on. ‘The result was that in Operation Guardian of the Walls [in 2021], from the moment this machine was activated, it generated 100 new targets every day. You see, in the past there were times in Gaza when we would create 50 targets per year. And here the machine produced 100 targets in one day.’
‘We prepare the targets automatically and work according to a checklist,’ one of the sources who worked in the new Targets Administrative Division told +972 and Local Call. ‘It really is like a factory. We work quickly and there is no time to delve deep into the target. The view is that we are judged according to how many targets we manage to generate.’
“A senior military official in charge of the target bank told the Jerusalem Post earlier this year that, thanks to the army’s AI systems, for the first time the military can generate new targets at a faster rate than it attacks.
“However, in many cases, and especially during the current attacks on Gaza, the Israeli army has carried out attacks that struck private residences even when there is no known or clear military target. For example, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, by Nov. 29, Israel had killed 50 Palestinian journalists in Gaza, some of them in their homes with their families.”(11)
What data was used in developing targets? That someone had a relative in Hamas? That someone posted something on Facebook in support of Hammas? That someone clicked on and read a Hammas post online? That someone wrote an article against Israeli foreign policy?
These reports from the front lines of the war in Gaza demonstrate how easily humans, in alliance with AI, have been led into brutal, inhumane acts. We could even say that they/we are being led into carrying out the Beast’s work in the world.
As this application of AI is perfected, we can be certain that such technologies will be used against the rest of humanity.
The Beast’s Trap in India
AI companies are paying rural poor people to collect voice and speech data in a program offered by Karya. This company markets their program as assisting the rural poor by having them speak a text and record it into an app on a SMART Phone.
But how will this voice data by used? And why are companies willing to pay so much for this data? And how do companies make money paying people to collect voice samples? Who are they selling the data to? For what purpose? What is so lucrative about people's voice samples?(12)
We should be prepared for similar traps in Ecuador.
Many politicians and technicians are working for the Beast system. Some consciously, some not. Some even think they are advancing the system for our benefit. But in either case, they must be stopped.
The Beast is at our doorstep, here in Ecuador. Cleverly sold to us as progress and helpful technology, the Beast System establishes itself in our towns, allegedly for our security. We must pause and consider that Satan has tricked us and lured us in.
What kind of deal are we making with the Devil by using this technology? If we let the technology continue penetrating into our homes and towns, what sort of future are we leaving for our children?
