>>Dear Watchmen,
>>
>>I received this report on the status and future of Mondex from a gentleman
>on
>>our e-mail list. He had sent a previous post to the effect that Mondex will
>>start experimenting with chip implants within the next two years using
>>volunteers to determine how well implants will be received by the general
>>population. The present report contains many informative web sites on
Mondex
>>with indications that smart card technology is moving in the direction of
>the
>>biochip. I especially appreciate his concluding thoughts which direct our
>>focus to our Lord Jesus Christ and His soon return!

>>Blessings,

>>I have been continuing to research the Mondex International Corporation, as
>>well as the consortium of corporations which formed and own Mondex USA.
>>These
>>corporations are: Chase Manhattan (David Rockefeller’s bank - enough
>said!!),
>>Wells Fargo, Dean Witter Discover (parent corp of Novus and Discover Card),
>>MasterCard, AT&T, First Chicago NBD, and Michigan National Bank - all of
>whom
>>will work with many other heavyweight international financial and
>>technological corporations.
>>The investment by each of these national banks in Mondex was approved by
the
>>Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in late 1996.
>>Hitachi has already developed a whole line of consumer products for the
>>Mondex
>>card, scheduled to be rolled out in the first wide-scale introduction in
>>first
>>quarter of 1998. You can view Hitachi’s Mondex information page at:
>>http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/index-E.html
>>
>>The Hitachi products can be viewed at:
>>http://www.hitachi.co.jp/Div/nfs/products/index-E.html
>>The worldwide introduction of Mondex has already been quietly initiated.
>>Mondex has been launched in Hong Kong and Canada. “Mondex pilots and
trials
>>continue to gain acceptance in the United States, United Kingdom,
Australia,
>>Canada, Hong Kong and New Zealand.”
>>(from: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/97/10/16/amh_bmo_r_1.html -the list of
>>shareholders in Mondex International is also available at this site)
>>Mondex franchises have already been granted for 28 countries around the
>world.
>>
>>On October 6, just eleven days ago, Mondex was launched in New York, in
>>Manhattan’s upper West Side.
>> “Both Chase and Citibank have already issued smart cards to their
customers
>>on the Upper West Side, a three-square-mile area that stretches from 60th
>>street to 96th street and from Central Park West to the Hudson River.
>>Residents who do not have an account with either bank can get a
stand-alone,
>>reloadable smart card by visiting Citibank and Chase branches in their
>>neighbourhoods.”
>>
>>(from a Mondex, Intl. press release,
>>http://www.mondex.com/mondex/cgi-bin/printpage.pl?english+global&pilots_new
>yor
>>k_1.html )
>>
>>Chase and Citibank are the number one and number two banks in the entire
>>United States. What is also particularly significant is that both
>MasterCard
>>and Visa are working on this project in partnership. Press releases stated
>>that 50,000 cards would be issued, and about 675 merchants have agreed to
>>participate in the program.
>>
>>Mondex’s stated objective is to become the medium of exchange for the small
>>transaction market - transactions under, say, $50 - a multi trillion dollar
>>market per year in the U.S. alone. The profit potential here is absolutely
>>enormous for the corporations involved. After consumers and retailers
>become
>>accustomed to this new form of electronic “cash,” the next logical step is
>to
>>make their e-cash the medium of exchange for all transactions. As Mondex
>has
>>already been approved by the governmental agencies governing currency,
>future
>>ramifications of implementation must have been considered. Currently, as
>you
>>are well aware, our currency is regulated by the Federal Reserve Board, a
>>private and largely foreign-owned entity. They will experience dramatic
>>changes as Mondex becomes the principal medium of financial transactions
(as
>>they and their associates are well-positioned to accomplish), and as hard
>>currency will come into a dramatically decreasing demand. The same
>>personalities continue to be found, however, behind the mega-corporations
>and
>>behind the “Federal” Reserve.
>>
>>Within a few years, the step of eliminating hard currency will be a
>virtually
>>rhetorical one, as the American “fast-food” mentality drives people to
>>enslave
>>themselves in the name of convenience. The “benefits” will appear
>tremendous
>>to this chronically short-sighted society, the savings to the individual,
>the
>>merchant, and the government will be enormous. Loss to theft will become
>>impossible, rapid exchange of value for product at the point of sale will
be
>>expedited, and the government will save millions in the printing costs of
>>physical currency.
>>
>>Mondex maintains that the tracking of individual transactions is not
>>currently
>>possible, as the technology is “chip to chip,” not requiring that
>>transactions
>>be processed through a central system, enabling transactions between
>>individuals, using, for example, one of Hitachi’s stand-alone devices.
Thus,
>>our privacy is not being eliminated all at once, but is, like the frog in
>>boiling water, continuing to decrease in very gradual degrees. “Mondex is
>the
>>only system which enables the direct transfer of electronic cash from one
>>card
>>to another. The cash value is immediately accessible without centrally
>>routing
>>and collecting each point-of-sale transaction. This feature makes it the
>most
>>cost-effective electronic cash solution for both retailers and financial
>>institutions.” (http://www.mondexusa.com) This very cost advantage,
coupled
>>with its usage of an existing network, the financial backing, and the
>>reputation of the corporations involved, will likely make Mondex the
leading
>>smartcard.
>>
>>The buy-in of so many heavyweight financial institutions into this one
>>project, although it is not attracting press attention, it will most
>>certainly
>>command the attention of the world’s smaller-sized corporations and
>>retailers.
>> As even the smallest retailer in the most remote areas will currently
>accept
>>major credit cards, the financial backbone of America - the working
citizen,
>>the small retailer, etc. - will be stong-armed into participation in this
>>system by these behemoth corporations, using the same financial
transactions
>>system currently in place. It will simply be extended to utilize the
Mondex
>>system. Eventually, only Mondex payments will be accepted.
>>
>>Regarding the implementation of the biometric technology, and,
specifically,
>>the implantable biochip, I am still tracking down the lead given on the
>radio
>>broadcast mentioned in my earlier mail. I personally did not hear the
>>program
>>- perhaps another Internet prayer warrior did hear. A letter was sent in
>>from
>>a listener to the program “Vincent and Company,” hosted by Joel Vincent in
>>Florida and broadcast on the “United Broadcasting Network” (UBN),
apparently
>>with more information on the topic of Mondex and biochip implants. UBN is
>>broadcast on audionet.com, but it appears that they only relay live
>>broadcasts, and do not archive the programs. UBN itself is in the process
>of
>>developing a web site (www.ubn.com ), but the site is under development and
>>is
>>currently empty.
>>
>>I did, however, speak to a member of Joel Vincent’s staff, who will be
>faxing
>>the letter to me. I will forward that to you, should the information be
>>credible, as soon as I receive it.
>>
>>Much in this area of biochips, however, is available online from Mondex
>>themselves. One of the members of the consortium working on the smartcard
>>operating system, known as MULTOS, is Siemens Semiconductors (you can
>>discover
>>more about the technical and operational aspects of MULTOS at the very
>>detailed MULTOS web site, especially at
http://www.multos.com/100/110.html.
>>
>>“Siemens Semiconductors’ role in the consortium will be to provide
smartcard
>>IC’s [Integrated Circuit or chips] for use in MULTOS cards.
>>“We see there is a clear market requirement for a highly-secure
>>multi-application operating system,” commented Dr Jörg Borchert, Smartcard
>IC
>>Marketing Director. “This latest development will act as another
>spring-board
>>for the growth of the smartcard market. Our skills in deep sub-micron
>>manufacturing and contactless technology are well-matched to the present
and
>>future demands of the MULTOS operating system.” “
>> (from http://www.mondex.ca/news013.html)
>>
>>Significant are the steps which they are taking to ensure this
>>“highly-secure”
>>environment. Notice that Siemens mentions their aptitudes in “contactless”
>>technology - a natural requirement for an implantable biochip. “In the
>>future, the Mondex platform will offer loyalty programs and personal
>>identification applications....” One can only speculate about what their
>>“loyalty programs” will eventually entail (Rev. 13:16-17 mentions a quaint
>>“loyalty program” - receive it or face not being able to buy or sell!).
The
>>current rage in “personal identification” techniques in the smartcard
>>industry
>>is “biometrics” - identification through some physical corroboration of
>>identity.
>>
>>Currently, every person in the course of their everyday life verifies their
>>identity through biometrics. Current methods, however, have significant
>room
>>for error, such as photograph-bearing identification cards, signatures,
>etc.
>>Fingerprints, as biometric measurements, are much more accurate, but have
>>some
>>problems. More sophisticated devices currently in use include; retinal
>>scanners, which map the pattern of veins in the eye (a pattern unique to
>each
>>individual) and measure various parts of the eye, voice recognition
devices,
>>digital hand scanners, and other various devices. None of the above,
>>however,
>>can yet ensure with complete reliability that the person presenting the
>>biometric device with the appropriate part of the body for authorization is
>>actually the authorized individual. Pardon the directness, but the fact
>>remains that a second individual could obtain the desired authorization
with
>>the appropriate part from the authorized individual’s body, attached or
>not.
>>Developments are in progress which will verify that the person is alive,
but
>>100% accuracy is very difficult to obtain, especially when considering the
>>economic factor. Implantable biochips, for which the technology currently
>>exists (and is in use in animals), is the only logical conclusion to
>>resolving
>>this ambiguity in the verification process.
>>
>>The hurdle which must be overcome in introducing implanted biochips is one
>of
>>public discomfort. Again, however, as with the Mondex universal smartcard,
>>trials will be executed in specific areas, perhaps first with the
military.
>>(It is disgraceful that the men and women of our military, so deserving of
>>our
>>respect and appreciation as a nation, should be degraded to the status of
>NWO
>>guinea pigs, as with the M.A.R.C. program [
>>http://www.dtic.mil:80/c3i/marcard.html ] and so many others.) Gradual
>>introduction would be accelerated by intense media promotion of the
>>benefits.
>>Alternately, the biochip may be a step which is mandated. Time will tell.
>>
>>In the midst of understanding these sobering developments, let us give all
>>the
>>more glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He promised two thousand
>>years ago that these things would come to pass - we are merely witnessing
>and
>>experiencing another example of the complete infallibility of Bible
>>prophecy.
>>Let us give praise to God as we rest at peace in His incredible promises.
>We
>>have been redeemed from the hand of the enemy (Ps 107:2), and are free from
>>fear (1 John 4:18), not being moved by what we see (Rom 4:19-20). We are
>>more
>>than conquerors (Rom 8:37), overcoming by the blood of the Lamb, and the
>Word
>>of our testimonies (Rv 12:11).
>>Finally, we are definitely looking for His soon return (1 Th 4:15-18).
>>Praised be the Name of Jesus Christ!!
>>
>>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

>>Watch and Pray…
>>
>>1. For spiritual discernment within the Church and a disposition to try the
>>spirits and to prove all things.
>>2. That Christians will look only to the Word of God as the foundation for
>>sound doctrine and prophecy.
>>3. That pastors, teachers and other shepherds will not be deceived, but
will
>>warn and protect the flock.
>>4. That false prophets and teachers will be exposed and their teachings
>>rejected by the Church.
>>5. That God will raise up men and women to earnestly contend for the faith.
>>6. That God will enlist men and women of prayer to intercede for the Church
>>in
>>these perilous times.
