24 people came and chimed in at this Thursday’s meeting. Though the resounding, unanimous theme seemed to be doom-and-gloom for the coming days, there was also the undeniable air of planning, preparation and prayer — and most importantly, a sense of community.
The RFID
You know the “mark of the beast” spoken about in Revelation? Well, some believe it is here. The RFID, which stands for Radio Frequency Identification, is a small tag which can now be hidden in your clothing, food packaging, electronics or anything you purchase. It can even be embedded in your skin. This tag uses the electromagnetic or electrostatic coupling in the RF portion of the electromagnetic spectrum to transmit signals. In other words, it provides a way for something to be tracked without line-of-sight.
Though the RFID and its technology has recently been played down, we can only see its uses increasing with time. In the case of Pennsylvania’s Slippery Rock University, students will “soon be able to use their cell phones to make payments at locations on campus as well as with participating merchants in the surrounding community.” According to this article and others like it, the RFID in students’ phones will be linked to their school bank account via the internet.
Bank Shutdowns in September
Check out this letter by Jim Willie, a financial sense market commentator. Thought we are not certain as to the reliability of this author, the bank shutdown which he is predicting for September of this year would cause catastrophic events including bank heists, US dollar devaluation and social chaos. If what he is saying here is true, then we would all be wise to prepare for such an event. According to this article, you may want to closely examine the security of things like your 401k, your bank accounts and pretty much anything that you can’t hold in your hand.
In an emergency situation where bank accounts are inaccessible and/or the US dollar experiences a severe devaluation, the “numbers” represented in these accounts may not be of much help. When a collapse like this happens the first system that will emerge is that of trade and barter. People simply trade goods and services. So be sure you have these to offer — food, water, supplies. Oh, and TOILET PAPER — or perhaps the pages of a phone book. Basically, everything you need to live. Visit our Committees of Safety page for more ideas. After some time, when things begin returning to some form of “normalcy,” often an economy will resort to a more “Biblical” form of currency, like gold and silver. In such a case, it may not only pay off to be prepared with food, shelter, goods and services, but precious metals like gold and silver may be worth its weight in…well…gold. So stock up folks!
Action Alerts: Outreach and Prayer Vigil
The above examples are just a few of the topics we discussed this Thursday. It is obvious that our freedom is quickly fading. So what is the solution? Well, obviously knowledge is the first step. Though much of tonight’s information told of a bleak future, it also brought about a sense of community and a desire to help others to get prepared. Everyone had ideas. One such idea was the proposal for an in-depth newsletter to be printed, 50,000 copies or so, and delivered to residents of the Triad area (Winston Salem, Greensboro, Walnut Cove, King, etc). The cost has been researched to be around $8,300 and would require someone who is knowledgeable about page layout and design. If you feel the call to help with this project, please contact us.
Without God, we can do nothing. Since Carolina Liberty’s inception, it has been our utmost desire to put God at the heart of it all. And so tonight it was once again proposed that we have a 24-hour prayer vigil, much like we had in March. As we plan this event, we ask that you consider participating in it. The time is now for us to pray for our country, our freedoms, our friends and our families.
“If My people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
