PRESSING TOWARD THE MARK
========================

Tom Valentine's guest on Radio Free America* (shortwave, 5.065 MHz,
mon-fri, 9 pm cst) on September 6, 1995 was Terry Cook, formerly an
L.A. County Deputy Sheriff and now editor of a newsletter called
"Pressing Toward The Mark".

Cook warns that there will be a push toward so-called "smart cards"
next year, a smart card being like the current credit cards but also
containing a microchip. The microchip in these upcoming smart cards
will be able to store a lot more information than the cards now in
use, which basically only store one's account number on a magnetic
strip. Cook says that Visa, Mastercard, etc., will be launching a
massive propaganda blitz to ensure eager acceptance. (If you doubt
that the public can be easily enticed into a rush toward the new
technology, I suggest you remember how they all went ape-sh** over
"Windows 95".)

These smart cards can become an "electronic purse", meaning that they
will be capable of storing debits and credits electronically. A
"secret compartment" in the enclosed microchip can even be used to
contain political information on the owner.

So look for that as a possible first step in a plan to eventually
impose what many would consider the "Mark of the Beast": a microchip
universally implanted on the hand of citizens, without which they will
be unable to buy or sell.

But before they start implanting the microchips, they will first
implement a universal system of identification, utilizing smart card
technology. Cook foresees one possible scenario as the adoption by the
government of a national I.D. card. Perhaps it will be brought forth
as a way to combat illegal immigration: a "worker's card". Another
scenario would involve incorporating smart card technology in your
driver's license. First we would get a disguised, *de facto*, national
I.D. card in the form of the DMV state driver's license or I.D. card.
Then, with the infrastructure in place, the rulers and planners would
move us along to the actual national I.D. card.

As a means of moving us along to the national ID. card, the secret
planners could also take advantage of terrorist threats such as
airport scares or the unabomber as an excuse to get us to accept their
card. Or, witness Bill Clinton's attempt to force a health care smart
card on all of us.

So Cook thinks that they will, by means of their usual subterfuges and
propaganda blitzes, move us along to a national I.D. smart card. Then,
the hidden manipulators of the society will persuade us that, to
prevent the card being stolen or lost, or just as an added
convenience, they will make use of the improved technology to implant
the microchip, formerly carried in a card, into the citizen herself.

You may think that people will be too wised up to fall for it, but
remember the Windows 95 example mentioned above. As researcher and
author Mark Sato stated on one of Sherman Skolnick's TV shows, when it
comes time to move along to this phase they will have the people
*eager* to be the "first on their block" to have the chip implanted.
They will introduce the chip as something sleek and sexy and your
average sports fan will be lined up to get it. It's not going to be
introduced as a chore that all good citizens must do; it's going to be
presented as something new and wonderful and liberating.

Mr. Cook relies on ordinary newspaper articles to back up his claims.
He points to an article in the January 10, 1995 *Los Angeles Times* as
proof that the Clinton administration is indeed pushing for a national
computer I.D. system for us all. Or, again in the *Los Angeles Times*,
June 12, 1995, we learn that Senator Feinstein favors a national I.D.
card. Or how about a recent poll which tells us that (supposedly) most
people favor a national I.D. card. "Did most of you know that you
voted for this?" asks Cook.

Many know that accused Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh claimed
that a microchip had been implanted in his butt while he was a soldier
during the Persian Gulf War. Some laughed that off, but is it really
so far-fetched? An article in the Octber 11, 1993 *Washington Times*
by Martin Anderson (author, by the way, of an intriguing book on
academia, *Imposters In The Temple*), "High Tech National Tattoo",
indicates that a syringe implantable transponder biochip is indeed
possible. Add to that the fact that it is in the military that many
technological developments get tested (e.g. smart cards now being
issued to military personnel, with one card actually called MARC), and
McVeigh's claim is at least credible.

And, in a chilling analogy, Anderson points out that such "high tech
tattoos" would be far more effective than the relatively primitive
technique used by the Nazis during WWII, that of tattooing numbers on
the arms of concentration camp inmates. This new technology would be
Nazi Big Brother multiplied by a hundred. Once the chip was implanted,
there would be no escape. Every financial transaction would be
recorded. One could not even obtain the multivarious forms of
government "entitlements" unless one agreed to have the chip
implanted. Ones every interaction with the market and with government
would be traceable, and ones immediate whereabouts would be easy to
surmise.

Going a step further, host Tom Valentine asked whether the chip could
even send out a signal so that a person's whereabouts would be
immediately accessible. To answer, Cook explained the concept of "real
time". For now, according to Cook, the technology would allow that the
citizen can be virtually traceable at all times, by means of following
his interactions with the system. However a transponder of some type,
included in the microchip, would mean that one's location would be
*constantly* and *immediately* known. A caller to the show claimed
that the use of low energy beta and gamma rays as signals is *even*
*now* technologically feasible. However it is not now clear just what
distance the signals can travel.

Terry Cook is the editor of a newsletter, "Pressing Toward The Mark".
He offers an info packet, consisting of a one-and-a-half hour video, n
audio tape, a 172-page booklet containing newspaper articles
supporting his ideas, and a copy of his newsletter, at total cost,
including shipping, of $35. [Note that this is *not* necessarily a
personal endorsement by me or by Conspiracy Nation.] Write to him at
Terry Cook, 774 Mays Blvd., Suite #10, Incline Village, Nevada 89451.
Mr. Cook says to allow 4 weeks for delivery.
