                      THE CASHLESS SOCIETY IS HERE!
                                        (Chris Beard)

After years of planning, research, and development the world's
financial institutions are announcing the much anticipated GLOBAL
CASHLESS SOCIETY. The ability to conduct all manner of monetary
exchange is now being replaced by microchip technology and electronic
currency.

MONDEX is the company providing this cashless system and has already
franchised over 20 major nations. This system was created in 1993 by
London bankers Tim Jones and Graham Higgins of NATWEST/COUTTS, the
personal bank of BRITAIN'S ROYAL FAMILY. The system is based on
SMARTCARD technology which employs microchips concealed in a plastic
card which stores electronic cash, identification, and other
information. All transaction systems are being made secure by adopting
SET protocols (Secure Electronic Transaction) and will display the SET
MARK.

MON-DEX - A compound of the words MONETARY & DEXTER. Webster's
Dictionary Encyclopedia Edition defines these words as:

monetary - pertaining to money

dexter - belonging to or located on the right hand

SET - the Egyptian god of evil or Satan

Along with the cards you may use a PET device (Personal Electronic
Transfer). This wallet sized calculator-like device allows you to
conduct personal currency exchanges with other card holders. The cards
also works with the NORTEL/BELL VISTA 360 phone, MILLENNIUM pay
phones, ATMs, your PC, the INTERNET, and online businesses and
institutions.

This cashless system has been tested extensively in the city of
Guelph, in Ontario, Canada, and in the U.K. and U.S. All Canadian
banks have signed up to MONDEX and will be promoting it soon. Plans
are to have it in widespread use by 1998. The CIBC (Canadian
International Bank of Commerce) has even set up a model cashless
branch inside NORTEL in Brampton, Ontario.

Over 250 corporations in 20 countries are involved in bringing MONDEX
to the world and many nations have already been franchised to use it;
the U.K., Canada, U.S.A., Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Hong Kong,
China, Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand,
India, Taiwan, Sri Lanka Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Panama,
Honduras, El Salvador and Belize. The European Union is expected to
adopt the MONDEX system as their unified currency solution. Other
SMARTCARD systems are quickly being put aside in favor of MONDEX,
especially since MASTERCARD bought a 51% stake in the company. NATWEST
will still maintain directorship in it's development and
implementation.

"This is the final stage in becoming a global reality," said Robin
O'Kelly of MONDEX International. "With MasterCard's backing, there's
nothing to stop MONDEX now from becoming the global standard."

Eventually the idea of carrying a card will become obsolete as people
soon discover that it has its security limitations-namely, being
susceptible to damage, loss and theft. The final solution will be to
have the microchip simply placed inside the human body as they do now
with microchip pet identification systems. INFOPET is one of several
companies that provide a syringe gun implantable bio-chip that is
injected under the skin of an animal. The chip can be read by a
scanner and the code identifying the owner and pet will bring up a
file on a computer. The system boasts that it can track over 1 billion
pets by satellites and cellular towers.

MOTOROLA, who produce the microchips for the MONDEX SMARTCARD, has
developed several human implantable bio-chips. The BT952000 chip was
engineered by Dr. Carl Sanders who was directed in seventeen NEW WORLD
ORDER meetings to develop the device for global use in humans for
economic and identification purposes.

The bio-chip measures 7mm long and .75mm in width, about the size of a
grain of rice. It contains a transponder and a rechargeable lithium
battery. The battery is charged by a thermo-couple circuit that
produces voltage from fluctuations in body temperature. They spent
over 1.5 million dollars studying where to place the chip in the human
body. They found only 2 suitable and efficient places - the FOREHEAD
just under the hairline, and the back of the hand, specifically the
RIGHT HAND.

          "And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich
          and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a
          mark in their right hand, or in their forehead, and he
          provides that no one should be able to buy or sell, except
          the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast, or
          the number of his name." Revelation 13:16

Dr. Sanders was against the use of the lithium battery because it was
known that if it were to break the lithium would cause a GRIEVOUS BOIL
or sore and cause much agony to the host.

          "And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth,
          and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men
          which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which
          worshiped his image." Revelation 16:2

After Dr. Sanders left the project he was introduced to the prophetic
scriptures in the Bible concerning the "mark of the beast". He then
converted to the Christian faith and now conducts seminars on this
topic. Dr. Sanders developed patented medical, surveillance, and
security equipment for the FBI, CIA, IRS, IBM, GE, Honeywell, and
Teledyne. He has also received the President's and Governor's award
for design excellence.

The Greek word in the Bible for the mark is charagma, which means a
scratch, or etching, stamp, insignia, or mark of servitude. The number
666 is the Greek phrase Chi Xi Stigma, meaning to stick or prick, a
mark incised or punched for the recognition of ownership.

The industry name for the advanced smart card developed by GEMPLUS and
the U.S. DOD (Department of Defense) is the MARC (Multi-technology
Automated Reader Card). The code name for it's development was
`TESSERA'. A tessera was the Roman insignia of ownership placed on
their slaves which if removed would result in the slave being branded
with a mark. In November 1996 an agreement was made by which GEMPLUS
will supply smartcards for the global implementation of MONDEX.

AT&T/Lucent Technologies purchased the franchise for MONDEX USA. Their
logo is the symbol of the Solar Serpent or RED DRAGON who is Satan.
LUCENT is compounded from LUCIFER - ENTERPRISES. They seem to be quite
flagrant in naming their products STYX (a river in Hades), JANUS (2
faced god) and INFERNO promoted with a quote from `The Inferno', a
story about LUCIFER in the bowels of hell. The "ring of fire" is the
ancient Pantheon. This company deliberately chose to move their new
offices into 666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

          "Day was departing, and the darkening air called all earth's
          creatures to their evening quiet while I alone was preparing
          as though for war" - The Inferno, Dante, Canto II 

One of their proudest achievements is TTS (Text To Speech) in which
they give the human-like quality of speech to lifeless technology.
This only tends to remind one of the apocalyptic scriptures. 

          "And it was given to him to give breath to the image of the
          beast, that the image of the beast might even speak..."
          Revelation 13:15

Since it is not practical to place a microchip in every product that
is to ever be bought and sold a UPC BARCODE does the job nicely. What
most people don't realize is that this is the "mark of the beast" for
the products we buy, use and dispose of everyday. Every UPC BARCODE
contains the numbers 666. You will find one of two versions of the
mark. The most common has 10 numbers divided into two parts. The other
will have 6 numbers. In both versions there are 3 unidentified bars.
Those bars are 6, 6, and 6. These are called guard bars, they tell the
scanner when to start, divide, and stop the reading.

          "Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the
          beast for the number is that of a man, and his number is
          666." Revelation 13:18

                         Rehovot, Israel, 13th May 1998:
                         Mondex Israel has today announced
                         the launch of a pilot of Mondex
                         Electronic Cash in the town of
                         Rehovot, situated 30km South of Tel
                         Aviv. This pilot is the 23rd
                         implementation of Mondex to date and
                         reflects the continuing progress of
                         Mondex around the world. Mondex
                         Israel, jointly owned by Discount
                         Investment Corporation and the Paz Group, has
                         initiated this activity as the first phase in
                         the wider commercial roll-out of Mondex in
                         Israel. 

                         Mondex is the most `cash-like' of the
                         electronic cash smartcards currently being
                         introduced around the world as a more
                         efficient alternative to physical cash; for
                         use in everyday shopping, and as a future
                         payment mechanism in a wide variety of areas
                         such as the Internet and `pay-per-view' TV.
                         Mondex is the only electronic cash system in
                         the world to operate with a single global
                         technology allowing for cross-country
                         payments. Unlike rival electronic cash
                         schemes, Mondex ensures that there is
                         interoperability between cards and devices
                         from one country to another provided by
                         consistent technology in each Mondex
                         implementation. 

                         Mondex Electronic Cash is currently being
                         used in 22 implementations around the world
                         including Hong Kong, the UK, US, Canada,
                         Australia, Costa Rica and the Philippines and
                         Mondex franchises have been established in
                         over 50 countries worldwide. 

                         Rehovot is a mid-sized city in the centre of
                         Israel, with a population of around 85,000
                         and with 1,000 retailers. Rehovot is best
                         known as the site of the Weizmann Institute
                         of Science, a world-famous advanced science
                         learning and research centre, which has a
                         student population of 5,000. 

                         The pilot will be officially launched by
                         Yaakov Sendler, the Mayor of Rehovot, who
                         will make the first Mondex transaction in
                         Israel. 

                         Managing Director of Discount Investments and
                         Chairman of the Board of Mondex Israel, Dov
                         Tadmor, said, "Mondex is an important and
                         integral part of Discount Investment's
                         strategy to engage in financial and
                         technological services." 

                         Yitzhak Levy, CEO of Mondex Israel, said,
                         "Rehovot was chosen as the location for the
                         pilot, as we identified some 1,000 businesses
                         in this area where a large part of the
                         turnover is paid for in cash." 

                         "Rehovot is a town that combines shopping
                         malls and private businesses as well as a
                         young adult population, including leading
                         academic institutes on one hand and senior
                         citizens on the other." 

                         The pilot phase will be accompanied by a
                         multimedia advertising campaign produced by
                         the Kesher Barel agency, using the strapline
                         "Mondex - Israel's Electronic Cash". 

                         Michael Keegan, Chief Executive Officer of
                         Mondex International, based in London, said,
                         "Israel is an important and innovative
                         market, leading the way in the adoption of
                         new technology and this is reflected in
                         Mondex Israel's rapid time to market and
                         commitment to the Mondex technology". 

                         Richard Phillimore, senior vice president of
                         Chip Card Business, MasterCard International,
                         "MasterCard International acquired a 51%
                         stake in Mondex International because Mondex
                         is the only truly global electronic cash
                         system. Mondex provides the interoperability
                         that MasterCard members and cardholders
                         around the world have come to expect from all
                         of our trusted payment brands. The MasterCard
                         Complete Chip Solutionä ensures that an
                         issuer's one-time investment in chip delivers
                         sustainable competitive advantage."

                    New Zealand NEWS bulletin:

Last night I recorded an interesting VIDEO Clip from TV ONE NEWS about
the introduction of the CASHLESS SOCIETY within 12 months, starting in
Wellington, New Zealand.

 If you are expecting the MARK of the Beast to arrive soon you will 
be very interested.  It may all be starting in NZ ! The video can be 
downloaded from the 'Smartcard' directory of my FTP server:

<a href="http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/%7Epcaffell"

Note that, if you have the ablility to view it, the 'SmartCard.mpg'
file is clearer, smaller than the AVI version.

I have noted that there are many people attempting to download the
file below and some are having problems.   I am willing to email it to
any who would like me to do so.   

I will need to send 14 x 879K email attachments 24 hours apart so as 
not to overload your incoming email box.  Save all the files to the 
same directory and once you have them all run the self-extracting 
'EXE' file to reconstitute the MPG video.

Please let me know if you would like this.

Kind Regards,
