John and Doves, ( Scripture verses below )

As we reported, the Verichip Corporation puts out different Verichips. Please see
www.cybertime.net/~ajgood/size.html for fuller explanation.

One has to wonder if ---since there are different VeriChips --- will the 666 Mark of the Beast VeriChip be called by the name of the "one voice" of global policy ? Time will tell.

This pre-cursor to the 666 Mark of the Beast is what we call the "retailer-chip". It is designed to be used exclusively with the local retailer, and not with world-wide banking as will be the coming 666 chip.

So far this "retailer-chip" is becoming fashionable in bars and nightclubs in Spain, and in the Netherlands and now in Scotland in the UK.

From Spain to the Netherlands to the UK .... cocktail bar chips
"The chip is already proving popular with VIP members at two nightclubs in Barcelona and Rotterdam. Although the concept strikes critics as Orwellian, others believe it is only a matter of time before the chip becomes a method of fraud-proof common currency.
"There are a number of advantages from instant access to one of our many exclusive DJ and VIP nights and not having to carry money or credit cards to letting bar staff know a customer's name and favorite drink. By the time you walk through the door to the bar, your favorite drink is waiting for you and the bar staff can greet you by name," Stevens said.

Although these forerunners are not the 666 MOB, they do imitate the function of the 666 MOB and therefore are an excellent tool for breaking down resistance to the real 666 Mark of the Beast when it finally comes.

They are made to look "cool",  and are for "VIPs" and the "VIP lounges". How very tony.

Yet, one day the imitation will be replaced by the Real 666 Mark of the Beast ........
and with clouded-consent, they will have consigned themselves to the Lake of Fire for all eternity
( Rev. 14: 9--11 ).

Another sad fact is that these nightclubs and discos will be readily available for dispensing the 666 Mark of the Beast when it arrives. They will be able to do that for 24 hours a day because of the new law in the UK allowing bars to be open for 24 hours a day.
 The latest dispensing place for the coming 666 Mark of the Beast . Open 24 / 7.
Resistance is not only futile...it is nil.

Bars open 24 hours in UK
Imagine, then, the scenes in November this year when the Licensing Act 2003 comes into force. From February 7, Britain's 198,000 pubs and clubs will be entitled to apply for 24-hour opening licences under this controversial government legislation. Thus, the final remaining restraints on binge-boozing in Britain will be swept away. The result will be an increase in crime, more addicts and greater numbers of alcohol-related injuries.

 It naively believes that relaxing the law to include round-the-clock drinking - which has existed in many European cities for decades - will lead to a more restrained cafe society.

"Cafe society? The cafe society closes here at 5pm sharp, mate," says Jose Fernandes, the owner of the Madeira Cafe in St George's Walk in the south London borough of Croydon.

 

"Cafe-society" hours would, Mr Fernandes believes, give carte blanche to binge-drinking. Though he has lived in Britain for 26 years, he is a native of Portugal. "We don't have this problem there, except in the Algarve," he says, "where the British tourists go." Within three hours of Mr Fernandes and his fellow cafe-owners closing, the streets and the pubs are awash with drunken louts.

In Kettering, the urban savages are out to play. It is still only 8.30pm but already a young woman, leaving the Earl of Dalkeith pub in search of another haunt, is so drunk she falls over. Her friend shouts: "It's early, you nerd. You can't pass out yet.
This doesn't seem so funny later on: by midnight she is lurching off her stool in another bar, vomiting on the carpet.

The atmosphere is raucous but not yet violent.

By 11pm it is a different story. In Croydon, Danny wants to fight. Anyone will do, even his best mate, Ryan
 However, it has been Steven Green, the Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire and the licensing spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers, who put the case most succinctly. "If we want a cafe culture, build cafes," he says. "If we want 24 hours of hell, let's keep on the way we are going. I am sick of my officers being used as punch bags by drunken thugs."

In the past few days, two of Britain's largest pub chains - Yates Group which operates 153 bars and JD Wetherspoon, which has 600 premises - have also opposed the new Act. Back on the streets of Croydon, Kettering and Birmingham, it is now 4am and the streets, though littered with broken bottles and fouled by vomit and urine, are quietening down. It has, say officers in all three areas, been a "relatively quiet night". Nothing like as bad as it could have been, says one, pulling off his helmet wearily. He is splattered with blood and stinks of vomit. "One of the quietest," he says. "This was nothing to what it's usually like." Or what it will be like when the urban savages are allowed to drink all night.
