The Mark of the Beast and the Social Security System

Truth cannot be taught, it can only be discovered. Freedom must be fought, it can not be delivered. Effort is the reward. Sloth is for the poor. If these words feel crooked, the grail you seek is a shovel.

"No man will buy ... "

E-Verify is here. You can't get a job anymore unless you go thru the E-Verify system. You can't go through the E-Verify system without an SSN.

U.S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States –E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. This diverse workforce contributes greatly to the vibrancy and strength of our economy, but that same strength also attracts unauthorized employment.

"... or sell..."

Obamacare (aka the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA)) saw to that. Now every un-incorporated business (that includes individuals, partnerships, sole proprietors, LLC, and every other un-incorprated entity) will now have to supply a 1099 for every purchase over $600. So for those few who said "it says buy and sell" not "earn a living" (despite my explaination that "buy and sell" back then meant "earn a living") your last objection is gone. You can't fill out a 1099 without an SSN. Thus, no man will buy or sell (at least over $600 worth of anything) without a social security number, aka, mark of the beast. Do you really think God cares the amount? It could be $1 or $100,000, the fact is, you have to submit your number to buy or sell. Goes into effect 2012. Think maybe you should do something about it?

... without the Mark."

In every one of us is the potential to know God. The problem is we as humans are very crude creatures. You have to only look at the events of today or a 100 or a 1000 years ago to see this. While it's true there are some inspirational and powerful examples of what people can do, on the whole those examples are but specs of dust in the atmosphere when compared to the evil, selfish, and hurtful things we people do to each other. Human nature does not change. Never has, and never will. Mankind is not perfectable. The bottom line is that humans are very crude creatures. As such, trying to understand God's plan takes a combination of life experiences, willingness to learn, a willingness to humble oneself and a willingness to discover the truth.

You can start your discovery here. God only asks that you humble yourself and seek Him with all your heart.

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 man; and the number of it is Six hundred threescore and six.

Morpheus: The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.

What's Misinformation?

You might believe there needs to be a physical mark on your forehead or hand. But again, this is wrong in that "a mark" does not need to be physical. In fact, "a mark" can be your signature, as in, "Make your mark on the dotted line." It can also be an event or action, as in "He made his mark in history." You might also believe, based on the popular movie "The Omen" that it's going to be the number 666 on the back of the head of Satan." That's known as "misinformation." The correct Bible quote is "for it is the number of man" not "of a man." The mistranslation of that phrase is what makes people think there will be some person with a 666 tattooed on his head. In fact, "the mark" is created by mankind. The Lords number is 7. Man's number is 6. That's why it's 666. Because the Mark is create by man, for man, to replace God. To understand this, you only need to understand the meaning of the word 'of.' "1. Derived or coming from; originating at or from. 2. Caused by; resulting from". Thus, man created the mark, derived the mark, originated the mark, but it's the "the Beast" that is going to use it. So what is "the Beast?" Actually Revelations 13 tells us there are two beasts. One of the sea and one of land. Revelation 17:15 tells us directly that "the sea" is the multitudes of people. So you have a Beast coming forth from the people. Ever read the words "of the people, by the people, for the people?" That's from the Gettysburg Address. How about "We the people.." That's from the Declaration of Independance. This is not to say these documents or the men who wrote had evil in their hearts, but it's just to show you the prophesy has come true.  Revelation is full of references to "crowns." Well "crowns" are designations of authority, and in this case civil authority, ie, civil government (or something that resembles a monarchy of sorts.) The reason the crown are on horns is that horns are symbols of Satan, thus these civil authorities are "hung" upon Satan, not God. That doesn't mean that's how they started out, but that is the "tool" Satan will use to enslave the people. He is using the social security system (The Mark) which was created by man via his civil government (The Beast), ie, The Mark of the Beast (of the Sea.) 666. Translated: Man, Man, Man. What about the other Mark? The Mark of the Beast of the Land? The Beast of the Land is probably a Monarchy or something that looks like a monarchy. It could be a false religion, military, maybe something else. Not only that, but one thing I read said there were 4 different "beast systems" in Revelations. But this site is about the Mark of the Beast of the Sea: The SSN.

What's the Solution?

God allows U-turns! It's not too late for you to discover the truth and take action. Reject the false prophets and those who tell you want to think or believe. Search for yourself. Your earnest search will reveal the truth both to you and to God what is in your heart.

The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it.
John Hay - Castilian Days, II, 1872

666 - Proof the Social Security Number is the Mark of the Beast as foretold in the book of Revelations of the Bible.

The number 666 is well known to be associated with the Number of the Beast. The Bible puts it this way: Revelations 13:17, "the name of the beast or the number of it's name." There is no doubt the SSN is the Mark, because of the first part of 13:17, "so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark." Now think about what that says and what it means. To "buy or sell" is just another way of saying "financial transaction" isn't it. That certainly includes earning a living, ie getting a job. But it's also every financial transaction you make. How are most of those transactions facilitated today? Via credit or debit card. Try to get either of these without an SSN and see how far you get. So where is the 666? It's public information:
42 USC 666

The United States Government's full list of laws are call the "United States Code." If you go to Title 42, United States Code, Section 666, you will find where the Social Security Number is now mandated on all licenses. No SSN, no license. Here it is verbatim:

42 US 666 (13) Recording of social security numbers in certain family matters.— Procedures requiring that the social security number of—
(A) any applicant for a professional license, driver’s license, occupational license, recreational license, or marriage license be recorded on the application;

NAFTA
 
Want to import or export? Thanks to NAFTA (passed in 1994) you need a tax identification number to export or import. NAFTA Certificate of Origin (Read the form and the instructions on the back.) In fact trade is exactly how most people earned a living in Biblical times. 

GATT: (passed in 1947 and updated many, many times since then. The 1994 Uruguay Round negotiations is what we are talking about here.)

One of the most significant changes was the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO). The 75 existing GATT members and the European Communities became the founding members of the WTO on 1 January 1995. The other 52 GATT members rejoined the WTO in the following two years (the last being Congo in 1997). Since the founding of the WTO, 21 new non-GATT members have joined and 29 are currently negotiating membership. There are a total of 153 member countries in the WTO.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Agreement_on_Tariffs_and_Trade

Let's look at GATT:
During Senate floor debates here is the exchange:

Mr. DOMENICI:

"A final question of special concern is that GATT requires that every United States citizen receive an identification number at birth, and that this matter is unrelated and irrelevant to matters of trade. The answer is that this requirement is included in the implementing language of GATT; it is not part of the GATT itself. This language was included in the implementing legislation because to ensure accurate assessments of income taxes, improper deductions on tax returns must be minimized.

"Mr. MOYNIHAN:

It is the Social Security number.

"Mr. DOMENICI:

The Social Security number, that is right.

Senator Domenici went on to explain:

"As a consequence, this section is designed to reduce tax cheating by people who claim children they do not have, which has the effect of reducing their taxes. This is important because it has a significant effect on the amount of tax revenue collected, which directly correlates with the overall net cost of the agreement to the U.S. Treasury. Therefore, the United States has decided that it is critical to maintain an accurate accounting of its taxable population."

From the Congressional Record, Senate - Page: S15274-S15275, 1994
Lets connect the dots: The Progessive movement gains power at the turn of the century. We have the Federal Reserve Act, the Social Security Act and the Income Tax (16th Amendment all during this time. We have the League of Nations (Global Government babysteps) and then WWI and then WWII (Global Wars.) WWII ends in 1945. The UN is formed (Global government babystep). GATT is passed in 1947 (Global Government big step). Isreal is formed in 1948 (Fulfills prophesy). 

The WTO is started in 1995 and merges with GATT. (Giant Global Government step and they tie it to the SSN.) Are you seeing the picture yet? Remember they said the SSN would never be used for idenfication, but look at the dialogue above. 

Funny how what they say and what they do is so different. How about if I remind you that one of the heros of the modern progressive movement is Saul Alinsky and that Saul Alinsky praises Satan in the foreward of his book "Rules for Radicals?" 

He paints Lucifier as the great rebel who "won his own kingdom." Are you seeing the full picture now? 

UPDATE! In addition to all that is listed below, there is a new licensing requirement coming down the road. You are reading this on the internet. You are not seeing this information on the news at 5pm, nor in any newspaper or magazine. 

There may be some private newsletters out there, but I've never seen one informing people of the informtion I provide here. 

Now what if this site were silenced? Can't happen? Think again. Obama's Cybersecurity Act of 2009 . EFF Link, Link.
So now you can add your "internet license" to this list below if you work in IT.

When you see "drivers licenses" here is what that means: 

1. The standard drivers license most "normal" people have
2. Bus Driver
3. Truck Driver (trucks having a GVWR (gross vehicle weight) over 26,000lbs)
4. Taxi and Livery Drivers, (less than 14 passengers)

When you see "occupational license" here is what that means: 

1. Business Licenses
2. Supplemental business licenses
3. Conditional driver's license for the use to and from work or school.

When you see "recreational license" here is what that means: 

1. Fishing license
2. Amateur radio license (HAM radio)
3. Boating license
4. Pilot license
5. Hunting license
6. Trapping license
7. Snowmobile license
8. Personal Water Craft license
9. ATV license
10. Ethanol distillation license

If you participate any any of these activities, you can't get the license without the number.

If you think you are not included because none of the above applies to you, just wait a couple of years when one of the New Employee Verification Acts gets made into law under the guise of "immigration reform."

Not only that, but how do you get a bank account without an SSN? You have to have the bank account to get the ATM or Debit cart, and you can't get the bank account without the number. You used to be able to get a non-interest bearing account, but they shut that one down a decade ago. And don't even think about filing out one of those credit aps without the number. 

Forget buying a car unless you pay cash. Forget a owning a house unless you happened to get one before all these laws were implimented.

Not only does 42 US 666 mandate the SSN, but it links all government databases. And 42 US 666 mandates the computerization and modernization of such databases to be readily available:

42 US 666 (14) High-volume, automated administrative enforcement in interstate cases.—
(A) In general.— Procedures under which—
(i) the State shall use high-volume automated administrative enforcement, to the same extent as used for intrastate cases, in response to a request made by another State to enforce support orders, and shall promptly report the results of such enforcement procedure to the requesting State;

Furthermore, when a person in Texas tried to get a license to be a crop duster, the state refused to issue one because the applicant refused to provide an SSN due to his religious beliefs. It went to the Texas State Attorney General, who quoted and referenced Title 42, section 666 as the reason they could not issue the license. This was a license the man needed to do his job to earn a living. Quoting the Texas AG: "It is the federal statute that specifically enumerates occupational licenses. See 42 U.S.C. 5 666(a)(13) (2000)." The set of numbers, 666 is referenced over 40 times in the AG's answer. The entire decision is based on 42 USC 666. Do you really think it's just a coincidence?

Need more proof? It'll help if you know the full scope of the problem. You probably think the Social Security Administration was a creation by the Roosevelt aministration in 1932. That's only partially true. The ISSA (International Social Security Administration) actually predates Roosevelt's system by 5 years. You might also think the United States is the only country that has SSNs. But again you'd be wrong. At least 170 (at last count) countries participate in the Social Security System. Thus it's worldwide.

Also as an addendum, they passed a law in 2002 that opens the door to requiring an SSN to be able to register to vote. While the purpose of this site is to educate people on the link between the SSN and the Mark of the Beast as foretold in the book of Revelations, I thought others might like to see just how far this has come. The relevent law is: H.R. 3295, "Help America Vote Act of 2002" 



The evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it.

To separate yourself from the SSN attached to you

The letter should be sent to your local Social Security Administration Office, by certified mail with Return Receipt Requested. The letter should be brief and state your beliefs. I can't tell you want to say. This is your proclamation of beliefs. 

If you don't know what to say, then you aren't ready. What should happen then is your letter will be forwarded to the SSA/Office of Public Inquires in Baltimore, Maryland. The Baltimore office should confirm they got your letter. At this point, if you stop using the number, you have demonstrated publicly you have rejected the Mark, and have proof of it.

Note: There is also a form, SSA-521 "Request for withdrawal of application." Since people get an SSN by filing an SS5, "Application for Social Security" you are withdrawaling that request. In fact, the SSA has an entire process spelled out in their "Applications and Interview" Policy manual to handle such requests. The process is noted at: GN 00206.050 - Manner of Requesting W/D." Some people use this form in place of the letter. I don't think there is any difference which you use. The bureaucrats might have an opinion, but God only cares that you take the action and make your stand be known.

Now forget the number. Never say it again. Never provide it to anyone that asks for it.  

Is making Sunday the Sabbath the Mark?

What day is the Sabbath? What about celebrating the holidays of Christmas and Easter?

There are those who say that the Mark of the Beast is the "mark" of keeping Sunday the Sabbath (when according to them it should be Saturday) and that celebrating Christmas and Easter are pagen holidays. The problem with this idea is that it does not fit scripture. It's very clear scripture says "no man shall buy or sell" without the mark. Well neither of these behaviors fit. 

You can buy, or not buy on any day of the year. You can choose to work, or not work on Christmas or Easter or not. The laws of the US specifically have recognized that if a person does not want to work on Saturday due to religious conviction, the employeer can't make them. Or they can refuse to work on Christmas or Easter and it's honored. So it doesn't fit the prophesy. But try to work without an SSN and you will find a different situation.

Additionally, look at Saturday. It's Saturns day. Saturn, the Roman God. And Sunday is "the Sun's day" or Baal's day. So both of them would be acknowledging a god other than the One. The 7th day is the Sabbath by whatever name you call it, and you should keep the 7th day Holy. But Sunday worship is not the Mark of the Beast because:

• refusing to work on one day or the other due to religious conviction is protected by law.
• there is no "Sunday Law" coming or even being discussed.
• there is no 666 associated with Sunday worship.
• there is nothing in your hand or head regarding Sunday worship.

I agree Sunday worship is not honoring the 3rd/4th Commandment, but it is not the Mark of the Beast.

How well does the SSN match the Prophecy in Revelations?

• Rev. 13:16-17 "He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name."
  
  
  
  When it says "buy or sell" that does not mean going down to the store and buying milk. During those times "buy and sell" was just how peole earned a living. So it's saying without this number you can't earn a living. 
  (See 42 US 666 (all the occupational licenses) and the cases that site it if you need more information.) People carry their SSN in their heads or (memory) in the hand (the card.) Yes, they could also put a chip inside everyone, but what data will be on the chip? Certainly the SSN will be in that record. So whether it's in a chip or card or memory, it'll be the number that is in the head or hand. The vessel or method is irrelevent. It also indicates all people will be forced to accept this number (well all except those who refuse it.) Some peole think the SSN only applies to the United States. This is not true. There is an International Social Security Association and 192 countries participate.
  
  
• Rev. 13:18 "If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. The number is 666."
  
  
  
  There is more to this than you may first understand. Note it says it's "man's number." That does not mean the number of a man as is often misquoted. It means a number created by mankind. Just like civil government was created by mankind, so too was the Social Security System created by civil government to "provide for the needs of the people" at the request of the people. To see this clearly, see Rev. 17:15 "Then the angel said to me, "The waters you saw, [remember the beast came from the waters, Rev. 13:1 "And I saw a beast coming out of the sea."] are peoples, multitudes, nations and languages." So the beast is a system created by the people. That system is codified into law by a civil government elected by the people and found at 42 US 666.
  
  

To recap; the number is needed to earn a living; the number comes from (created by) mankind; the number is used to identify; the number is associated with 666. The Social Security Number matches every one of these tenents.

Taken verbatim from the SSA.gov's website. My notations in [bracketed bold].

1935	The Social Security Act (P.L. 74-271) is enacted. It did not expressly mention the use of SSNs, but it authorized the creation of some type of record keeping scheme. Treasury Decision 4704, a Treasury regulation in 1936 which required the issuance of an account number to each employee covered by the Social Security program. The Social Security Board considered various numbering systems and ways (such as metal tags, etc.) by which employees could indicate they had been issued a number [Notice, Congress passed the Social Security Act, but made no mention of the number. Then the Treasury department created the numbering requirement. No member of the Treasury is elected or held to be accountable to the public. Treasury code is not the same thing as Statutory law. It's a regulation, not law.]
1936-1937	Approximately 30 million applications for SSNs were processed between November 1936 and June 30, 1937.
1943	Executive Order 9397 (3 CFR (1943-1948 Comp.) 283-284) required: All Federal components to use the SSN "exclusively" whenever the component found it advisable to set up a new identification system for individuals. The Social Security Board to cooperate with Federal uses of the number by issuing and verifying numbers for other Federal agencies [Notice, Executive Order use. Show me any place in the Constitution where the President has the powers of a King to proclaim edicts.]
1961	The Civil Service Commission adopted the SSN as an official Federal employee identifier. Internal Revenue Code Amendments (P.L. 87-397) required each taxpayer to furnish identifying number for tax reporting.
1962	The Internal Revenue Service adopted the SSN as its official taxpayer identification number. [Again, an internal admistrative action within the IRS, not voted on by Congress. You will see similiar actions for the next 10 years, and the law not actually changed until 14 years later. Just an example of how a government agency can "make up" whatever "law" it feels like with no checks or balances.]
1964	Treasury Department, via internal policy, required buyers of Series H savings bonds to provide their SSNs.
1965	Internal Revenue Amendments (P.L. 89-384) enacted Medicare. It became necessary for most individual s age 65 and older to have an SSN.
1966	The Veterans Administration began to use the SSN as the hospital admissions number and for patient record keeping.
1969	The Department of Defense adopted the SSN in lieu of the military service number for identifying Armed Forces personnel.
1970	Bank Records and Foreign Transactions Act (P.L. 91-508) required all banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions and brokers/dealers in securities to obtain the SSNs of all of their customers. Also, financial institutions were required to file a report with the IRS, including the SSN of the customer, for any transaction involving more than $10,000.
1971	SSA task force report published which proposed that SSA take a "cautious and conservative" position toward SSN use and do nothing to promote the use of the SSN as an identifier. The report recommended that SSA Use mass SSN enumeration in schools as a long-range, cost-effective approach to tightening up the SSN system, and Consider cooperating with specific health, education and welfare uses of the SSN by State, local, and other nonprofit organizations. [At this point, they were still running ads on TV that said your SSN is not to be used for identification, and it was still imprinted on the card like shown to the left.]
1972	Social Security Amendments of 1972 (P.L. 92-603): Required SSA to issue SSNs to all legally admitted aliens at entry and of anyone receiving or applying for any benefit paid for by Federal funds; Required SSA to obtain evidence to establish age, citizenship, or alien status and identity. Authorized SSA to enumerate children at the time they first entered school.
1973	Buyers of series E savings bonds are required by the Treasury Department to provide their SSNs. Report of the HEW Secretary's Advisory Committee on Automated Personal Data System concluded that the adoption of a universal identifier by this country was not desirable; also found that the SSN was not suitable for such a purpose as it does not meet the criteria of a universal identifier that distinguishes a person from all others.
1974	Privacy Act (P.L. 93-579) enacted effective September 27, 1975 to limit governmental use of the SSN: Provided that no State or local government agency may withhold a benefit from a person simply because the individual refuses to furnish his or her SSN. Required that Federal, State and local agencies which request an individual to disclose his/her SSN inform the individual if disclosure was mandatory or voluntary. (This was the first mention of SSN use by local governments.) [1973 and 1974 are very important years. You will note the alarming changes being made to make the SSN an universal identifier. The actions in 1973 and 1974 were to quell the public's fear that the SSN was in fact becoming the dreaded Mark of the Beast. Now the public is reassured, it's all under control. Now watch what happens.]
1975	Social Services Amendments of 1974 (P.L. 93-647) provided that: disclosure of an individual's SSN is a condition of eligibility for AFDC benefits; and Office of Child Support enforcement Parent Locator Service may require disclosure of limited information (including SSN and whereabouts) contained in SSA records.
1976	Tax Reform Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-455) included the following amendments to the Social Security Act: To allow use by the States of the SSN in the administration of any tax, general public assistance, driver's license or motor vehicle registration law within their jurisdiction and to authorize the States to require individuals affected by such laws to furnish their SSNs to the States; To make misuse of the SSN for any purpose a violation of the Social Security Act; To make, under federal law, unlawful disclosure or compelling disclosure of the SSN of any person a felony, punishable by fine and/or imprisonment. To amend section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code to provide that the SSN be used as the tax identification number (TIN) for all tax purposes. While the Treasury Department had been using the SSN as the TIN by regulation since 1962, this law codified that requirement. Federal Advisory Committee on False Identification recommended that penalties for misuse should be increased and evidence requirements tightened; rejected the idea of national identifier and did not even consider the SSN for such a purpose. [All that had been done in 1973 and 1974 was now undone. How could this have happened? Who was behind it? I don't know. I know that the ending the Vietnam War, the oil shortage and gas lines, the Watergate scandal, Nixon's tapes, Nixon's resignation and Ford's pardon were all the country was preoccupied with at the time. No one was paying any attention to anything else.]
1977	Food Stamp Act of 1977 (P.L. 96-58) required disclosure of SSNs of all household members as a condition of eligibility for participation in the food stamp program. Privacy Protection Study Commission recommended that: No steps be taken towards developing standard, universal label for individuals until safeguards and policies regarding permissible uses and disclosures were proven effective; and Executive Order 9397 be amended so that Federal agencies could no longer use it as legal authority to require disclosure of an individual's SSN. (No action taken.) The Carter Administration proposed that the Social Security card be one of the authorized documents by which an employer could be assured that a job applicant could work in this country but also stated that the SSN card should not become a national identity document. Note the changing of the Executive Order. There is no authority for it to begin with, but that seems to be irrlevent to the case.
1978	SSA required evidence of age, citizenship, and identity of all SSN applicants.
1981	Reagan Administration stated that it "is explicitly opposed to the creation of a national identity card" but recognized the need for a means for employers to comply with the employer sanctions provisions of its immigration reform legislation.

All Social Security cards issued to legal aliens not authorized to work within the United States were annotated "NOT VALID FOR EMPLOYMENT" beginning in May.
1983	The Social Security Amendments of 1983 (P.L. 98-21) required that new and replacement Social Security cards issued after October 30 be made of banknote paper and (to the maximum extent practicable) not be subject to counterfeiting. The Interest and Dividend Tax Compliance Act (P.L. 98-67) requires SSNs for all interest-bearing accounts and provides a penalty of $50 for all individuals who fail to furnish a correct TIN (usually the SSN).
1984	Deficit Reduction Act of 1984 (P.L. 98-369) Amended the Social Security Act to establish an income and eligibility verification system involving State agencies administering the AFDC, Medicaid, unemployment compensation, the food stamp programs, and State programs under a plan approved under title I, X, XIV, or XVI of the Act. States were permitted to require the SSN as a condition of eligibility for benefits under any of these programs. Amended Section 6050I of the IRC to require that persons engaged in a trade or business file a report (including SSNs) with the IRS for cash transactions over $10,000. Amended Section 215 of the IRC to authorize the Secretary of HHS to publish regulations that require a spouse paying alimony to furnish IRS with the taxpayer identification number (i.e., the SSN) of the spouse receiving alimony payments.

Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (P.L. 99-750) authorized the Secretary of Transportation to require the use of the SSN on commercial motor vehicle operators' licenses. Higher Education Amendments of 1986 (P.L. 99-498) required that student loan applicants submit their SSN as a condition of eligibility.
1987	SSA initiated a demonstration project on August 17 in the State of New Mexico enabling parents to obtain Social Security numbers for their newborn infants automatically when the infant's birth was registered by the State.

Beneficiaries who refused enumeration were entitled but placed in suspense. Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 (P.L. 100-690) deleted the $5,000 and $25,000 upper limits on fines that can be imposed for violations of section 208 of the Social Security Act. The general limit of $250,000 for felonies in the U.S. Code now applied to SSN violations under section 208 of the Social Security Act. Also, penalties for misuse of SSNs apply as well in cases where the number is referred to by any other name (e.g., taxpayer identification number (TIN)).

Section 318, authorized the use of the SSN by the Department of Labor in administration of Federal workers' compensation laws.
1996	Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193) (Welfare Reform ): Section 111 required the Commissioner of Social Security to develop and submit to Congress a prototype of a counterfeit-resistant Social Security card that: is made of durable, tamper-resistant material (e.g., plastic); employs technologies that provide security features (e.g., magnetic stripe); and provides individuals with reliable proof of citizenship or legal resident alien status. Section 111 also required the Commissioner of Social Security to study and report to Congress on different methods of improving the Social Security card application process, including evaluation of the cost and workload implications of issuing a counterfeit-resistant Social Security card for all individuals and evaluation of the feasibility and cost implications of imposing a user fee for replacement cards. Section 316 required HHS to transmit to SSA, for verification purposes, certain information about individuals and employers maintained under the Federal Parent Locator Service in an automated directory. SSA is required to verify the accuracy of, correct, or supply to the extent possible, and report to HHS the name, SSN, and birth date of individuals and the employer identification number of employers. SSA is to be reimbursed by HHS for the cost of this verification service. This section also required all Federal agencies (including SSA) to report quarterly the name and SSN of each employee and the wages paid to the employee during the previous quarter. Section 317 provided that State child support enforcement procedures require the SSN of any applicant for a professional license, commercial driver's license, occupational license, or marriage license be recorded on the application. The SSN of any person subject to a divorce decree, support order, or paternity determination or acknowledgement would have to be placed in the pertinent records.

In general, the pilot programs would allow an employer to confirm the identity and employment eligibility of the individual. SSA and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) would provide a secondary verification process to confirm the validity of the information provided. SSA would compare the name and SSN provided and advise whether the name and number match SSA records and whether the SSN is valid for employment. Section 414 required the Commissioner to report to Congress every year, the aggregate number of SSNs issued to noncitizens not authorized to work, but under which earnings were reported. Also required the Commissioner to transmit to the Attorney General a report on the extent to which SSNs and Social Security cards are used by noncitizens for fraudulent purposes. Section 415 authorized the Attorney General to require any noncitizen to provide his or her SSN for purposes of inclusion in any record maintained by the Attorney General or INS.

Federal agencies are precluded from accepting as proof of identity, documents which do not meet the regulatory standards. Section 657 provided for the development of a prototype Social Security card. The requirements were the same as in Section 111 of the Welfare reform legislation (described above) with the exception that the Comptroller General is also to study and report to Congress on different methods of improving the Social Security card application process. This was a monster year for the SSN. Nafta and Gatt Treaties are passed. Both are used to make the SSN officially the Mark of the Beast. This is the start of what has now become law under Title 42 US 666. It takes a couple of years for it be be codified in law and discovered.
1997	Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1997 (P.L. 104-208) (Division C--Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996) (Immigration Reform): Sections 401-404 provided for 3 specific employment verification pilot programs in which employers would voluntarily participate.

Table last updated 11/09/05

So there you have it, directly from the SSA's own mouth. I put the entire history here so you can see how the gradual changes in laws, regulations, administration, executive orders, and treaties transformed the SSN from "not to be used for identification" to the de facto national identifier. Now the only one that can be used to buy or sell. The Mark of the Beast. What's the solution?
In Not On

There is a lot of misinformation out there. Some of it intentional, some unintentional. I'd like to mention one here.
In recent times, the bible has been translated to say "On the forehead" or "on the right hand." Thus people are thinking the Mark of the Beast is some sort of tatoo. This is wrong, unintentional, but still wrong. The Geneva bible (1599) translates Rev. 13:16 this way:

And he made all both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to recieve a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads.

This is the correct translation. You carry your Social Security card in your hand. You memorize your SSN in your head. It's in, not on. 

What John Saw - Revelations
 
Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. Rev 1:3
 
The most important thing to remember about Revelations is that it is a vision John saw of the future. Think about the time John lived; Oxen drawn carts on dirt roads, crudely sewn garments that tied with a rope, water in clay jars. Now image you are there in those times and someone shows you an Ipod, an airplane, a tank, an Apache helicopter, a TV, a cell phone. Let your mind flash back and forth between the times. Most people believe the visions of John are symbolic. But what I've learned is that the Bible works on many levels; Literal, symbolic and spiritual. What if, on a literal level, Johns visions are a 1st century's man attempt to describe 21st century technology? 

"And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion." (Revelations 13:1)

Look at that picture and image yourself a person living in Johns time. How would you describe that vechicle? Remember, this is in the time of oxen carts and bows and arrows. Maybe John saw an LCAC and that's his "beast of the sea" in Rev. 13:1. The skirts are big and wide and could be like the paws of a bear. Could the exhaust stacks be the horns? And what about the mouth of a lion? The front and back of the craft open up and drop down, something similiar to that of a lion's mouth. Yes, I know there are not 10 horns and 10 crowns on an LCAC, but maybe he saw 5 of them and they moved as one?

Maybe that's the symbolic part of Revelations. I'm just talking about "What vision did John see?"

Recall the vision John saw wasn't a still photograph. It had movement and sound, maybe other senses. Seeing this craft in action, how would you describe it to someone who has never seen a car, plane, train, or any mechanized device? An LCAC is very fast across the water and the Leopard is one of the few cats that frequently transverses water skillfully.

"The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion."

Look at the sides of the LCAC. It's painted in camouflage.

Does not camouflage "resemble a leopard?"

What if in the future the military took 4 of these LCAC's and somehow joined them together? What if they got bigger? Did John see an LCAC or was an LCAC the precursor to what John saw? Either way, it supports the notion we are living in the End Times. And if we are living in the End Times, then we already have the Mark of the Beast. The only universal identifier that fulfills the prophesy of Revelations is the Social Security Number.

Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near. Rev 1:3

It's the same old story

It's just like the story of Adam & Eve all over again. Satan decieved Eve into thinking there was some other authority other than God. Satan didn't claim to be that authority, but instead told Eve it was "knowledge." That having that knowledge would make them "like God" and therefore not subject to God's authority. Just like Satan, Government has convinced mankind that "civil authority" is the ultimate authority, and that God's authority is not needed, or at least, redundant. It's the same old story and man keeps falling for it. But you have a solution. 

Here's a little bit more interesting information on the ISSA
Most people have never heard of the ISSA, the International Social Security Association. Not only does it exist, but they have a website: ISSA. Check it out yourself. Note the connctions to SSW (Social Security Worldwide), OECD (Organisation For Economic Co-Operation and Developement, the world financial policy enforcers.), and IOPS (International Organisation of Pension Supervisors, John Ashcroft president.)

Quoting from their site:

The organisation cooperates closely with other international organisations involved in pension supervision policy development and dialogue, including the OECD, World Bank, ISSA, IAIS and IMF.

From http://www-ssw.issa.int/sswlp2/Engl/page14.htm (Screen Capture in case the original disappears.) Would you like a list of all the member countries? Here you go.
 
Don't they love their databases! You can even get a free password that works for a day or two here. No, you can't access individual's information, but you can see how each country impliments their Social Security System. Recall Title 42 US 666 and the specification of using databases.

Getting that uneasy feeling? You should.
