It's okay everyone I'm on a first name basis with the prince of Nigeria as we are working out a small inheritance thing... I'll pass it along that this is totally not cool!

Everyone who has thier phone shut off should smash every cellphone tower they find.

this puts an end to burner phones. a phone number is now tied to your identity. the end result will be that ALL phone numbers will be registered to a PERSON and when crimes or fraud is committed using a phone number it will be easy to determine who the responsible party is and then to hold him responsible for these crimes.

no more international romance scams. this will also put a kink in the international drug sales business.

good.

make everybody in the world register.

What technology is used to but a stop to crime? Which crime has been stomped out?

People all over the world are being identified more and more by numbers.

Nigeria has been rolling out 11-digit electronic national identity cards for almost a decade, which record an individual's personal and biometric data, including fingerprints and photo. The National Identity Number (NIN) is required to open a bank account, apply for a driver's license, vote, get health insurance, and file tax returns.

The prophecies in the scriptures must be fulfilled, but we as individuals are responsible for our own choices. Refuse the beast system and turn to Jesus for eternal salvation.

Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

forum accounts will eventually be tied to your NIN number and the police will moderate all forums.

this is a win-win for everyone.

Fuck religion. But on the other hand, it is rather odd how these ancient stories got a lot of things right. I'm not so sure humanity hasn't been through the same bullshit before, and I have no reason to believe that civilization hasn't risen and fallen more than once before.

Religion is not my thing, either. I do not go to church, but I do study God's word daily, pray, and live according to the teachings of Jesus. God is now destroying all the churches of men, because man has corrupted his word and perverted it for worldly gain and for the praise of men.

I agree with you that humanity has risen and fallen already. God revealed that man altered his genetic code more than three thousand years ago and corrupted it. Even the animals were corrupt. So God sent the great flood to destroy them and start over.

Noah and his family were still of godly seed, with unaltered DNA, so God spared them, giving them the technology to construct a massive ship that could withstand the waves of the deluge and stay upright on the water for a year without getting flipped. This ship is called Noah's ark.

Man is corrupting his DNA again and is more wicked now than ever before, so God will again cleanse the earth, but this time with fire.

(You might know that today's mRNA injections are genetic modifiers, so the human race is corrupting itself again.)

God does not want you to go to church. But he does want you to turn away from your sins and turn to Jesus so you may be saved. He was killed by religious people: the "Jews". Jesus died on the cross to redeem you from the curse and save you from the enemy.

but don't worry, I'm sure it will be "voluntary" and "just a small scale trial" when it comes to your area.

Testing. Working out the kinks before rolling out worldwide.

"nobody will use this" is not a kink

Another great way to keep the bribery money flowing in.

SIM card registration is already common in many countries, and most of the EU: SIM-Card Registration Laws by Country. Your personal tracking device is so much more effective when it's tied to your identity. I've also been told (though I haven't confirmed it) that you can get in trouble in China if you don't have your smartphone on you when stopped by the police.
