The Trojan Horse for the Mark of the Beast Is Already Here

The Trojan Horse for the Mark of the Beast Is Already Here

How They’re Using Kids to Force Digital ID on Everyone

The mark of the beast doesn’t start with a mark. It starts with this…

Digital ID.

Digital ID is central to a system of digital currencies and tokenized assets.

It’s essential to any effort to take away a citizen’s anonymity so you can surveil every transaction they make.

And of course, surveillance is a prerequisite to controlling every buy and sell transaction they engage in.

So how do you convince a skeptical public to go along with digital ID?

Some governments engage in strong-arm tactics… If you want a bank account, submit to the biometric scan. If you want a job, comply with the digital ID requirement.

But other governments are taking a different approach.

A trojan horse approach.

Forcing Digital ID Through Manipulation

A trend has emerged in Western societies – one akin to a trojan horse to implement digital ID.

What are they doing? Well, first of all, they don’t call it “digital ID”; they call it “age verification.” And second, they don’t demand compliance. Instead, they appeal to human emotion.

It’s “for the safety of the children,” they say. “Don’t you care about the children?”

Here’s how it works…

In the interest of “protecting the children,” they require digital age verification for various online activities, whether it’s using social media, watching restricted videos, or downloading specific apps.

Verifying a person’s age has to go beyond easily bypassed gateways such as “enter your birth date,” which any child could simply lie about. Therefore, the age verification process must use biometric data to “protect the children.”

Facial recognition. Retinal scans. Fingerprints. And/or uploading of already biometric-compliant digital ID credentials.

When they sell it as “protecting the children,” most people go along with it. After all, who doesn’t want to protect children from online predators, bullies, or inappropriate content?

So most people say, “Yes. Protect the children!”

And that’s the trojan horse.

Because you can’t require age verification for minors only. By definition, in order to make sure a minor child is not engaging with restricted content, everyone must be age verified.

And that means EVERYONE must comply with the age verification process, creating a default digital ID in the process.

It means everyone must allow facial recognition, retinal scans, and/or their fingerprints to be uploaded in order to access the Internet.

As that happens, nations and corporations scoop up our biometric data and attach it to the profiles they’ve already built – profiles with mountains of information detailing every aspect of our lives.

Different Countries and Companies, Same Trojan Horse Approach

It’s no coincidence we’re seeing this same approach moving forward in different countries and with different companies all within the same short time period.

It’s not part of a public outcry for greater child protection. It’s part of a global scheme to trick the public into compliance with digital ID.

Don’t believe me? Just look at these examples:

What’s at Stake

Ultimately, governments will roll out digital ID for two primary purposes:

    Ÿ1) To Monitor Financial Transactions

Digital ID will be a means to verify the identity of anyone using central bank digital currencies (CBDC), stablecoins, and/or tokenized assets. All these digital financial instruments are fully programmable, meaning they can be programmed against you. They can literally control your ability to buy or sell.

For example, under The Genius Act here in the United States, all stablecoins must comply with the following:

“All stablecoin issuers must possess the technical capability to seize, freeze, or burn payment stablecoins when legally required and must comply with lawful orders to do so.”

This means stablecoins, like CBDCs, are indistinguishable in both capability and function from the mark of the beast system.

2) To Surveil Every Aspect of Your Life

Digital ID will also be a means to track everything you do on a daily basis – what websites you use, social media postings, who you associate with, where you shop, what your daily routine is, and more. To a degree far beyond what most people imagine, this is already happening. Digital ID simply centralizes all the data governments and corporations are already gathering, while taking away the last vestiges of anonymity.

This is how they keep you compliant – by taking away your power. Here in the United States, then presidential candidate Nikki Haley proposed making a digital ID necessary to post Internet comments. Again, they don’t want you doing anything without their “permission.”

In the end, digital ID isn’t about what’s best for you – it’s about what’s best for government. By centralizing all information associated with you as an individual, it streamlines their ability to surveil and control your life.

While the dangers of a digital ID system to freedom and liberty should be clear, the public pushback is barely noticeable. Why? I believe the reasons are many, including ignorance, naivety, and outright exhaustion when it comes to fighting back against these types of intrusive government measures.

But one of the reasons is how they’re selling it.  Like most government programs, the language used to describe digital ID is the exact opposite of what it is.

They call it “privacy-preserving.” They say it “gives citizens control,” or it will always be “voluntary.” And of course, the biggest trojan horse of all – they claim it’s “to protect the children.”

Until the rollout is complete, they’ll use this type of language to assure the public. Then, once the system is fully rolled out, they’ll shut the door to the digital prison, and no one will be able to escape.

They’ll say it was “for the children.” It was never for the children.

From the beginning, it was all about digital control.

Keep in mind, digital ID and the digital system they want to implement is NOT the mark of the beast. The mark of the beast requires the arrival of the Antichrist, the false prophet, and the seven-year Tribulation. And we’re not in the seven-year Tribulation right now.

However, this digital system DOES lay the foundation for the mark of the beast system we read about in Revelation 13. It creates a system effectively the same in terms of controlling who can buy and sell:

“He required everyone – small and great, rich and poor, free and slave – to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead. And no one could buy or sell anything without that mark, which was either the name of the beast or the number representing his name” (Revelation 13:16-17, NLT).

Foreign hackers targeting U.S. drinking water systems, many facilities not prepared, watchdog warns

Foreign hackers targeting U.S. drinking water systems, many facilities not prepared, watchdog warns

Nicholas Ballasy

The report said hackers linked to foreign governments and criminal organizations are capable of targeting operational systems that control pumps, valves, chemical treatments and water distribution at drinking water and wastewater facilities across the United States

A new Government Accountability Office report is warning that America’s water infrastructure is becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks as aging treatment systems connect to internet-enabled technology faster than many utilities are able to secure them.

The report said hackers linked to foreign governments and criminal organizations are capable of targeting operational systems that control pumps, valves, chemical treatments and water distribution at drinking water and wastewater facilities across the United States. 

The GAO warned that the convergence of once-isolated industrial systems with modern internet-connected networks had “increased the ability of online attackers to reach critical operational systems.”

“Threat actors, such as state-sponsored hackers or criminal groups, are increasingly capable of carrying out cyberattacks on water and wastewater systems,” the report stated.

GAO said in the report that a successful cyberattack “could lead to service disruptions that harm public health or the environment,” while also creating ripple effects for hospitals, energy plants and other critical sectors that rely on water systems to operate.

The report highlighted a growing list of cybersecurity incidents. For example, in late 2023, an Iran-affiliated hacking group breached a Pennsylvania water system, forcing workers to temporarily stop pumping operations and manually operate parts of the facility. 

Federal agencies later issued a 2026 advisory warning that Iran-linked groups were targeting technologies commonly used in American water systems. 

Ransomware attacks also struck utilities in California, New Jersey and Nevada, disrupting computer systems and forcing some operations to temporarily run manually.

GAO said many utilities remained poorly equipped to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats because of outdated infrastructure, staffing shortages and limited budgets.

According to the report, many systems were “designed before today’s heightened cyber risk environment,” while aging operational technology systems were “often incompatible with modern IT security protocols.” 

The agency also warned that some facilities still lack basic cybersecurity standards. 

“A lack of basic cyber hygiene — actions to improve online security such as changing default passwords and keeping operating systems up to date — was a significant challenge,” the report stated.

The agency said the Environmental Protection Agency has taken some steps to improve oversight after a previous GAO review found significant shortcomings in federal water-sector cybersecurity planning. 

EPA completed a sector-wide cybersecurity risk assessment and developed a risk management plan earlier this year.

Despite this, GAO cautioned that many cybersecurity efforts remained voluntary and cautioned that proposed reductions to programs at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency could weaken federal support for utilities seeking assistance.

The report also said EPA identified gaps in its legal authority to require cybersecurity assessments for certain wastewater systems and smaller drinking water utilities, raising concerns about uneven protection standards across the country’s nearly 170,000 water and wastewater systems.

GAO concluded that “for a sector as large and decentralized as the water sector, a risk-informed strategy is essential” as cyber threats against critical infrastructure continued to evolve.

Permadrought: 75 Percent Of The Global Population Lives In A Country That Is Being Affected By “The Great Drying”

Permadrought: 75 Percent Of The Global Population Lives In A Country That Is Being Affected By “The Great Drying”

Michael Snyder

Our planet is drying out at a pace that is unlike anything we have ever seen before. Once massive lakes are rapidly shrinking, once mighty rivers are steadily dwindling, and colossal underground aquifers are being pumped dry all over the world. This is an absolutely enormous problem, because very soon we simply will not have enough fresh water to support 8 billion people. In fact, drought conditions are severely affecting global crop production in 2026. If current trends continue, it will become increasingly difficult to grow food. In other words, if the land on our planet doesn’t stop drying out there is no way that we will be able to avoid an era of widespread global famines.

This isn’t something that just started happening recently.

Over the last several decades, the world has been losing fresh water “at an unprecedented rate”…

The world is losing fresh water at an unprecedented rate, two decades’ worth of satellite data has revealed.

Measurements from NASA’s twin GRACE satellites and GRACE follow-on missions have shown that since 2002, the amount of land suffering from water loss has been increasing year on year by twice the area of the state of California. That includes the loss of water from surface reservoirs such as lakes and rivers and underground aquifers, which are an important source of drinking water around the globe.

Mega-drying regions have emerged across the Northern Hemisphere with the worst-hit areas extending across the western coast of North America, Southwestern North America and Central America, the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Just look at what has been happening to the Great Salt Lake.

Once upon a time it was absolutely gigantic.

But now it has lost approximately 73 percent of its water and approximately 60 percent of its surface area.

Of course this isn’t just happening in the United States.

One study found that 75 percent of the population of the world currently lives in a country that is being affected by “continental drying”…

Much of the Earth is suffering a pandemic of “continental drying,” affecting the countries containing 75% of the world’s population, the new research shows.

The study, published in the journal Science Advances, examined changes to Earth’s total supply of fresh water and found that nearly 6 billion people live in the 101 countries facing a net decline in water supply, posing a “critical, emerging threat to humanity.”

If 6 billion people live in nations that are steadily drying out, what does that mean for the future of humanity?

We aren’t just talking about a few isolated deserts.

The United Nations is telling us that excluding Antarctica, drylands now account for more than 40 percent of all the land on this planet.

And more than three-quarters of all the land on this planet has been getting drier over the past 30 years…

As Earth continues to warm, more and more of the planet is becoming dry. A 2024 UN report found that in the last three decades, over three-fourths of all the world’s land became drier than it had been in the previous 30 years.

Drylands now comprise 40.6% of all global land (excluding Antarctica). In addition, the number of people living in drylands doubled over the last 30 years to 2.3 billion, which represents over 25% of the global population. In a worst-case climate change scenario, this number could climb to 5 billion by 2100.

Many of us have just come to accept that drought is a normal part of life.

If you look at the latest U.S. Drought Monitor map, it is a nightmare.

Right now, more than 60 percent of the continental United States is experiencing at least some level of drought…

As of May 26, 2026, 50.77% of the United States and Puerto Rico and 60.77% of the Lower 48 states are in drought.

Some of the areas that are being hit the hardest are where we grow our food.

In particular, wheat farmers in the U.S. are having a very challenging time this year…

It’s a perfect storm of terrible conditions for wheat farmers this year. Drought, dramatic swings in temperature, the skyrocketing price of fertilizer and diesel, plus multiple viruses affecting wheat have all led to one of the most challenging years for farmers in decades.

There are different classes of winter wheat, but they’re all down when compared to last year’s crop, explained Todd Hubbs, a crop marketing specialist at Oklahoma State University Extension.

Unfortunately, it is being projected that the winter wheat harvest in the U.S. will be down by 21 percent compared to last year…

The most widely produced class of wheat in the U.S., Hard Red Winter wheat, has a current production forecast of 515 million bushels. That may sound like a lot, but it would end up being the lowest since 1957, Hubbs said.

Soft red winter and white wheat varieties are also having tough years, with the lowest production volume in 6 to 10 years.

In all, growers will see their smallest wheat crop in terms of production since 1972, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture; 1.56 billion bushels this year, down 21% from 2025.
