EEE | 25 APRIL 2016 | EEE

Just received my new debit card from my bank. It has a chip in it. Is this the Mark of the Beast?

He will not abuse your card. But send him the expiration date also.

“Those friggin things take a lot of extra time to process. In a long line they are a pain in the butt.”

It shouldn’t take any longer than a swipe and waiting for the cashier to get a “verified / rejection” notice.

We all are getting them. I don’t think we are at mark of the beast......yet. It’s coming. Hopefully I’ll be dead before we get that far.

The chip can cause toxic gas to build up in your home. Bust out all your windows to relieve the pressure that is building up. Hurry.

“its a tracker for sure. They are in the new passports and drivers licenses.”

It’s no different than the magnetic stripe on a credit card only more secure ... unless you consider those trackers (which, in a way, they are since you give away your location when you use it :-) ).

They are not activated by radio ... pins contact that funky looking gold thing and read data out of it ... they’re harder to counterfeit.

Yet somehow the US Goobermint had all my background info hacked.

Makes me feel all warm and protected

I’m afraid to use mine... because some stores may not have the reader.
Not because of the Devil.

The bank says if run backwards through the reader it will create a strange “latin sounding” invocation but just to ignore it.

If they don’t have the chip reader, you just swipe the card like previously.

I’ve probably done that in a dozen places, I haven’t seen a gas station yet that has the chip reader installed. WalMart and Meijer have the chip reader on their check lines.

Seriously? The old strip readers can process the chip card?

The world is headed that direction and it will include a cashless society. Why do you think they’re getting the gimmedats on cards?

Well, that’s a relief. I thought Revelation applied to the entire planet, but if it’s only limited to the United States, I’m moving to Canada, suckers!
