"In 1973, high schools in the United States began to teach the concept of buying and selling using an identification number printed on the forehead: "All purchases and sales provided for in the program will be carried out by a computer. No cash, no change, no checks. People get their own number, which will be tattooed on their wrist or forehead. Such a number will be applied with a laser and will not cause any sensations. The number on the body is invisible to the human eye. It will be as permanent as your fingerprints. All products will be marked with a computer. The computer installed in the store will determine the number on the goods when leaving the store and the number on the buyer's body, automatically determine the cost of the purchase and deduct it from the amount entered into a special current account of the buyer's settlements."

In 1974, Nobel Prize winner Lynas Pauling proposed putting a mark on the wrist and forehead of every young person. The mark must contain information about the genotype. In April 1976, a patent was granted for a device and method for remotely tracking and altering brain signals. In 1980, U.S. News and World Report magazine constantly warned of the federal government's intentions to introduce "national identity cards," without which it would be impossible to operate and do business. In 1981, the Denver Post Sun continued the campaign, claiming that implantable chips could replace ID cards: "The chip is placed in the needle of an ordinary syringe with an antibacterial solution. Such a needle with a chip is ready to identify something or someone forever."

In 1996, the Chicago Tribune conducted a poll: "How much can we trust Big Brother under our skin?"

In 1997, there was a demand for a patent for devices for subcutaneous implantation of humans or animals. In April 1998, Time Magazine published an article titled "The Big Bank Theory or What It Says About the Future of Money," which stated, "Your daughter can steal money in any way she wants, from the comfort of her computer with a credit card and a chip inserted under her skin."

In October 1998, the London Times published an article stating that 45 people had agreed to implant chips called the Celestial Eye for testing – among them were movie stars, the children of millionaires and other famous British citizens. At the same time, the Sunday Oregon newspaper warned of a proposed medical intervention that could destroy a person's right to privacy by spying on people through the use of implantable digital IDs. A stunning Oregon article described people who had a record on their forehead with a personal code printed on it. Technologies based on the use of advances in bionics seek to create an organism that would contain organic material (human cells) capable of interacting with biometric chips to implant them in the human body. Scientists are currently working on creating half-human, half-silicone chips. The list goes on. There are hundreds of documents and studies confirming the use of implantable microchips (as an identity card and a current account. – Author)." 59

Microchip "Digital Angel"

In April 1997, the website "Russian Conversation" (USA) published an article "New World Order in 2002?", which predicted the possibility of introducing round-the-clock surveillance of people in 2002 using satellites and microcircuits implanted in the human body. On March 20, 2000, an article appeared on the website of the newspaper "World Net Daily" about the creation and close implementation of such systems. The article was called "Big brother climbs under your skin. The ideal identity card is an implantable receiver-transmitter controlled by navigation satellites." Here are some excerpts from it: "The new implantation technology currently used to search for pets is adapted for humans. An implantable transmitter-receiver (PC) transmits a signal that allows you to monitor the basic functions of the human body and verify your identity when concluding transactions

ADC bought a patent for a miniature digital PCB, which it called the "Digital Angel" (i.e., computer, electronic). It sends and receives data and can be constantly tracked by global navigation satellites (GPS (US military satellite system). Once implanted in the forearm, the PN receives energy from the movement of the muscles and can be activated by the wearer or from the tracking device...

Dr. Peter Zhou, a leading implant scientist, said that the PCB sends a signal to the user to his computer or the company he deals with in order to verify his identity. In the future, Zhou says, computers may be programmed so that they won't turn on without such an ID. User-identification devices that require live fingerprint scanning are already being sold by computer manufacturers. A "digital angel" allows such biometric technology to take a giant step forward by physically connecting man and machine. But trading on the Internet is only one area of application of the Digital Angel. The patent for the PP describes its use to search for abducted children and missing persons. The PP can also monitor the user's pulse, blood pressure, and other bodily functions...

The developer of Digital Angel said that the demand for PP was huge... "We receive requests from all over the world every day," Zhou said, citing South America, Mexico and Spain as examples... At the same time, the firm received numerous complaints from Christians and others who believed that PCB was the embodiment of Bible prophecy. In the Revelation of St. John it is said that all people will have to receive the mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one will buy or sell except the one who has this mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name (Rev. 13:16-17).

In an increasingly cashless society, where ID is critical to financial transactions, some Christians look at digital angel ID and the introduction of online commerce as a form of "mark of the beast." But Zhou brushes off such objections to PP... "The purpose of this device is to save lives and improve the quality of life... everything aimed at improving the quality of life comes from God..." he said.

Digital angel, according to Zhou, will become as widespread as vaccinations. "In 50 years, it will become extremely popular. 50 years ago, we didn't even dare to think about cell phones. And today they are everywhere."

"Like a cell phone, the Digital Angel will be your connection to the electronic world. He will become your guardian and protector. He will bring you good. We will become hybrids of electronic intelligence and our souls," Zhou concluded. ADS received a special "Technology Pioneer" award from the World Economic Forum 60 for its contribution "to comprehensive economic development and social progress through the development of technology." 61

Thus, the peoples of the world are offered a "tempting" prospect – everyone can become a hybrid of electronic intelligence and their own soul. The question, of course, is how the Creator, Who created man in His image and likeness, will look at this. However, one report from the Franklin Center for the Study of Legislation (USA) states: "A mandatory system of national identification through the implantation of microchips can be implemented in two stages: in the first stage, a voluntary system of implantation of microchips will be proposed. After getting acquainted with the procedure and its advantages, it will be possible to move on to mandatory implantation..." 62
