Yesterday, the payments firm Mastercard announced it is joining the ID2020 Alliance to explore digital identity solutions.

We have been talking for decades about the coming cashless society, one in which buying and selling is controlled by a digital identification mark, and now we are so close to it that is less than two years away. NTEB was one of the very first news outlets to warn you, back on October 24 of 2019, about the company created and funded by Microsoft and Bill Gates, a company called the ID2020 Alliance. Now credit giant Mastercard has thrown their impressive corporate clout behind them, the process should accelerate exponentially.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:16-18 (KJB)

All the pieces are falling into place, and the global elites who brought you the global COVID-19 lockdown have many more tricks up their sleeve, all for your protection and safety, of course.  Do you know what the very first piece of technology that was released on the market in the aftermath of 9/11? It was the human implantable RFID microchip from VeriChip Corp, they have since changed their name to Digital Angel. You don’t have to wonder what will be released in the aftermath of COVID-19 because we have been showing you and warning you night and day for the last 10 weeks. The only question is what will you do about it when they coming knocking on your door?

Mastercard joins blockchain digital identity alliance ID2020

FROM LEDGER INSIGHTS: The ID2020 Alliance was founded by Accenture, Microsoft, Gavi, Rockefeller Foundation and IDEO. Partners include NGOs, private companies and UN agencies.

The ongoing pandemic has led to the emergence of digital-only solutions that require users to prove who they are. Digital identity could play a significant role in facilitating access to a range of digital services.

“We must work together to establish consistency and common standards across the globe that can make this a reality, addressing real challenges faced by people every day and sparking continued innovation,” said Ajay Bhalla, president, Cyber & Intelligence, Mastercard.

Last year, Mastercard said it was exploring decentralized digital identity for verifying financial transactions, government interactions, and online services. It is a well-established fact that digital identity could enable banking and other services for people with no physical papers or credit history.

The ID2020 Alliance has launched a new digital identity program at its annual summit in New York, in collaboration with the Government of Bangladesh, vaccine alliance Gavi, and new partners in government, academia, and humanitarian relief.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT ID2020 AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST IS ONLY A CLICK AWAY, SO CLICK IT!

The World Bank estimates over a billion people lack any form of legally recognized identification. This hinders their access to vital services, including healthcare, social protection, education and finance. Several solutions are being developed globally, but ID2020 believes collaboration and global partnerships are key to digital identity adoption.

“Digital identity can be a powerful force multiplier to enhance social and economic opportunities for all people,” said Dakota Gruener, Executive Director of ID2020. “But to fully realize that potential, governments, technology companies, financial institutions and civil society must collaborate. We are delighted to welcome Mastercard to the ID2020 Alliance and applaud their commitment to privacy-protecting, user-centric digital identity.”

Gruener recently penned a Harvard whitepaper about COVID-19 immunity certificates for the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics.

The ID2020 Alliance enables partners to pool in funds and other resources to develop digital identity projects. The Alliance has already launched pilots and recently worked with the Government of Bangladesh to launch a digital identity program for vaccination in the country.

Digital identity has myriad applications, and Mastercard previously joined the Trust over IP (ToIP) Foundation. Other members of the consortium include Accenture, Evernym, IBM, DIDx, and R3.

Evernym is the company that initiated the Sovrin network, the public self-sovereign identity network. South Korea has three separate decentralized identity projects. Last month, Microsoft, Evernym, ID2020 and many others formed the COVID Credentials Initiative (CCI) to use digital identity for keeping COVID-19 spread in check. READ MORE

As Operation Africa! Continues To Grow, Prisons All Across America Are Reaching Out With A Desperate Need For King James And RVG Spanish Bibles

Operation Africa! ramping up as Bibles Behind Bars reaches a fever pitch as chaplains all across the United States reach out for Bibles and books

Operation Africa! is off to a wonderful start, with hundreds of Bibles already delieverd and hundreds more going out this week. We are preparing to plant two churches, one in Uganda and one in Kenya, exciting stuff! But in the midst of all that, a flurry of Jails and Prisons have also reached out, looking for Bibles in King James English and in RVG Spanish.

Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.” Hebrews 13:3 (KJB)

Here are just a few of the places we are sending Bibles to this month:

Chaplain Don Parton from the Sevier County Sheriff’s Office wrote and said “I am a Capt. with our department and one of my functions is Director of programs for inmates, also oversee our Reentry division. We would appreciate some Bibles in English and Spanish our facilities house 566 inmates with a population of 30% Spanish. Thank You!” 

Chaplain Jason Cizek from the Danville City Jail wrote telling us I oversee 4 jails with Danville being the largest. Altogether there’s about 500 inmates. Every piece of literature is gifted from donors. My goal is to consistently be able to supply Bibles to those incarcerated. Thank you.”

Chaplain Don Gillis from the Irwin County Detention Center, a facility that had closed during COVID and now reopened under Trump’s new immigration policy, wrote and said “Hello, we house immigration detainees for Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE). We are a relatively small facility having an 1100 bed capacity. The number of detainees being processed through our facility has increased greatly over the last couple of years. I allow and encourage the detainees to take their Bibles with them, if needed, when they leave our facility. This creates a constant need to resupply my inventory. I have been able to secure enough English Bibles but am unable to keep up with the demand for Spanish versions. I am, as of now, completely out of Spanish Bibles. Any help you could give will be greatly appreciated!” 

The Lord has filled our plate to overflowing with the sending out of thousands of King James Bibles, RVG Spanish Bibles, scripture portions, gospel tracts and Christian books and literature. All sent out at completely no charge to the chaplains receiving it at the facilities where they work. All made possible by you who pray for this outreach, and who give sacrificially to keep it going all these years. Come help us!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: The Obama Library Opens In Chicago As A Dystopian Granite Monolith Like The Headquarters Of A Post-American ‘1984’ Future

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Barack Hussein Obama’s Dark Presidential Library Rises Over Chicago Like A ‘1984’ Dystopian Fortress From The World Of ‘Leave The World Behind’

Barack Obama’s entire political career was built on image. The logo, the posters, the “citizen of the world” speeches. The “hope and change.” The global adoration, the fainting crowds and the messianic language from the media. The Nobel Peace Prize before he had done anything to earn it. The carefully produced cultural aura surrounding him was always bigger than the man himself. Now that image has been literally poured into concrete and granite, with the result looking exactly like what it always was: cold, controlled, menancing, towering, and spiritually empty.

Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22 (KJB)

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, in 2023, Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions was attached to Netflix’s ‘Leave The World Behind’, the dystopian thriller directed by Sam Esmail in which America begins collapsing through cyberattack, communications failure, infrastructure breakdown, mass confusion, and psychological terror. Netflix identified Higher Ground as part of the project, and the film itself was sold as a story about a mysterious blackout and a nation coming apart under invisible forces. Now take that imagery and place it side by side with Obama’s new Presidential Library in Chicago. On one side, you have Obama’s Netflix-backed dystopian nightmare: America cut off, Americans confused, phones dead, media gone, planes falling, tankers crashing, trust evaporating, and citizens left to wonder who is really behind the collapse. The end of the movie reveals it to be the American government. On the other side, you have Obama’s real-world presidential tower that is massive, dark, nearly windowless, and standing over Chicago like the headquarters of the people who would remain after the collapse was complete. The official story is “democracy,” “hope,” “community,” and “civic engagement.” But the visual story is something very different. The visual story is granite, height, surveillance-age design, digital archives, curated memory, political legacy, and a near-religious treatment of a man whose presidency accelerated America’s transformation into the globalized, technocratic, identity-driven, post-Christian system we are watching harden all around us. It is literally a depiction of George Orwell’s ‘1984’. The UK Guardian said “Towering over a low-income area of Chicago, and wrapped in a speech that’s hard to decipher, this controversial monolith feels like a menacing sci-fi HQ. Is it a monument – or a mausoleum?”  That’s a great question, and today we bring you all the news you need to know here on Day 2,270 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve!

Iran Just Launched The Persian Gulf Strait Authority Claiming That Over 300 Non-Iranian Ships Have Signed On To New Hormuz Toll System In Defiance Of US

Iran Claims That Over 300 Ships Have Applied For Safe Passage Through The Strait Of Hormuz As Tehran’s New PGSA Toll Authority Moves To Control One Of The World’s Most Critical Oil Chokepoints

Well, well, well. Just when you were told that Iran had been “obliterated,” “decimated,” and reduced to rubble, here comes Tehran rolling out a brand-new maritime shakedown operation at one of the most important oil chokepoints on the face of the earth. As it turns out, the Iranian Regime that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth once said must be removed have launched a new business venture netting them millions per month. I guess no one bothered to inform Iran how defeated they are. But I digress.

“For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,” Revelation 18:17 (KJB)

Iran has created something called the Persian Gulf Strait Authority, or PGSA, and according to reports coming out of Tehran, more than 300 non-Iranian ships have already applied for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz. Most of those ships are said to be oil tankers, and the bulk of them are trying to get out of the Persian Gulf and head east to Asia, especially China and India. In other words, this is not a symbolic move, this is not a paper tiger, and this is not the activity of a nation lying helpless in the dust. This is a calculated attempt by Iran to turn the world’s most explosive maritime chokepoint into a permanent toll booth.

The Strait of Hormuz is not just another body of water. It is the narrow Persian Gulf passageway through which a massive portion of the world’s seaborne oil trade flows. When Hormuz sneezes, the global energy markets catch pneumonia. Every president, king, crown prince, oil trader, shipping company, insurance firm, and military planner knows it. Iran knows it, too. That is why Tehran has now moved from merely threatening the Strait to attempting to regulate it, monetize it, and weaponize it under the color of a new “authority.”

The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) said the majority of the ships applying were oil tankers, with at least 77% of the applicants looking to exit the Persian Gulf to reach Asia, particularly China and India, two of the Middle East’s largest fuel buyers. source

The official line from Washington is that this is extortion, and for once Washington is right. The U.S. Treasury sanctioned the PGSA, identifying it as tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and warned companies against doing business with it. But the deeper issue is this: if Iran is so destroyed, why does the United States have to sanction a brand-new Iranian authority created to control safe passage through one of the most important waterways in the world? That is the contradiction no one wants to talk about. Obviously, we are not being told the truth by our government as to what’s actually taking place in Iran.

President Trump has repeatedly used words like “obliterated” to describe what happened to Iran’s nuclear facilities. And yes, bombs may have fallen, centrifuges may have been smashed, tunnels may have been hit, and Iranian military assets may have been badly damaged. But the regime itself was not obliterated. Its command structure was not erased. Its strategic leverage was not removed. Its ability to threaten the global economy was not neutralized. In fact, Iran is now attempting to do what stronger powers have dreamed of doing for generations: sit astride a world chokepoint and demand tribute. That is not obliteration. That is operation.

Tehran’s new PGSA is not merely about collecting money from ships. It is about power, recognition, fear, and leverage. If foreign vessels apply for Iranian safe-passage permits, Iran gets to act like the gatekeeper. If oil tankers submit their vessel information, ownership details, insurance data, cargo information, and routing intentions, Iran gains intelligence. If shipping companies pay fees, Iran gains revenue. If certain nations are refused permits because they are considered “hostile,” Iran gains political leverage. And if the world starts treating Iranian permission as a practical necessity for moving oil through Hormuz, Iran gains something even more valuable: de facto authority.

The PGSA is a message to Washington, Jerusalem, Riyadh, Beijing, New Delhi, and every oil-importing nation on earth. Iran is saying, “You may bomb us, you may sanction us, you may isolate us, but you still have to pass through our neighborhood.” That is a very dangerous message, and it is being sent at the exact moment when the world is already staggering under war, debt, inflation, fractured alliances, shipping disruptions, and the rise of a multipolar global order. China and India loom large in this story. If the majority of the reported applicants are trying to exit the Persian Gulf and head toward Asia, that tells you where the realignment is taking place. Iran knows that its future does not depend on pleasing America; it depends on surviving long enough to plug itself into the rising eastern economic system that is already bypassing Western control wherever it can. This is the world that is forming right in front of us.
