In the not too distant future, there will be no option but to either require
a retinal scan, thumbscan, implantable microchips or DNA sample on file to
buy or sell anything - even to work.

If you are on welfare, they'll cut you off unless you comply.

If you are receiving a pension or any other government benefit, will you be
cut off because you won't comply?

IMAGINE not being able to buy food, anywhere, without one of these biometric
interfaces.

It is not a matter of if but when.

This is not by accident, it is all by design. I know what is going to happen
in this regard. Think about who is developing all this crap for your
'convenience' and 'security'. Pure salesmanship, appealing to your sloth and
fear.

Once again, if I say this technology is being developed, for certain, to be
used with really, *really* bad consequences then it must be really *really*
good, right? Always choose the opposite of what I say, as thoughtless
victims of a false opposition paradigm.

Suppose you don't want to thumbscan to take out a library book?

Are you going to be denied service even though you pay for it with tax
money?

They'll make biometrics optional for a while... to guage public reaction.
They'll sell it to you as the greatest thing since sliced white bread.

If you don't scan, you must have something to hide... right? How long
afterwards they'll make it mandatory.

You are not a 'terrorist' are you?

At the very least, life will be made extremely difficult if you want to live
your life without caving into this known prison control grid.

Did you hear about the retinal scanners going in at Winnipeg International
Airport? Oh, it is optional for now but eventually they will not allow you
to fly without scanning, or do anything else for that matter.

The majority of folks are totally reliant on 'just in time' delivery of
services, there are no personal stores  to get families through tough times
should electricity, water and food systems go unavailable. They don't an
ounce of self sufficiency in them.

It is called being fattened for slaughter.
