By Patrick Colbeck
A recent article by Jim Hoft of The Gateway Pundit jogged my memory about an obscure cybersecurity device called an Albert Sensor.
Back in October 2021, I was approached with information on Albert Sensors and their possible role in subverting the integrity of our elections. I was a bit overwhelmed by the election fraud evidence flooding into me to pursue in any depth at the time. I have finally been able to perform some of the investigation into this topic that I wish I would have had time to pursue back in 2021.
Here’s what I found.
Albert Sensors
Albert sensors are cybersecurity products offered by a non-profit 501c3 organization known as the Center for Internet Security (CIS). The name “Albert Sensor” appears to be an homage to the late Albert Einstein. I find it interesting that an organization called the Center for Internet Security is being used by nearly ALL counties in America to secure election equipment considering election officials and traditional media outlets swear that this equipment is “not connected to the internet”.
These sensors consist of a Dell server running Oracle/Unbreakable Linux operation system. The server contains additional unspecified software used by CIS to manage the security services provided. Albert Sensors have been deployed in all 50 states to State, Local, Tribal and Territorial (SLTT) units of government.
Albert sensors enable CIS to perform the following functions:
- Netflow Data Monitoring
- Network Intrusion Detection
- Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)
Albert Sensors act as the gatekeepers controlling all data traffic into and out of successive layers in a given network environment.
CIS deploys Albert to SLTT government entities across America. Each of these entities have their own internal network connected to the internet. This internal network often features Election Management System (EMS) servers used to aggregate election data from other sources. These EMS servers tabulate election data from across precinct or absentee voter counting board electronic voting system tabulators. CIS shares all incoming and outgoing data with their own election operations center referred to as the EI-ISAC. Amazon Web Services are leveraged to provide load-balancing and query-related services to facilitate EI-ISAC operations.
Netflow Data Monitoring
Albert Sensors monitor the same sort of data one would expect to see in a generic “Splunk Log“. CIS refers to its record for network traffic as a NetFlow record. This record is at the heart of Albert Sensor monitoring operations.
In his Absolute documentary series regarding the 2020 election and at his 2021 Cyber Symposium in South Dakota, Mike Lindell shared data similar to the Albert Sensor “Net Flow Data Records”.
It would be interesting to see if there is any correlation between the data shared by Mike Lindell and the data passing through Albert Sensors all over the United States. CIS carefully guards access to Albert Sensor data.
You may recall the controversy regarding access to the routers used in Maricopa County, AZ during the 2020 election. County officials fought tooth and nail to prevent the release of these routers and their associated NetFlow Data. A compromise was finally reached which enabled some measure of access to this information. My analysis of this compromise and the results of the subsequent analysis can be found in my Maricopa County Word Games? post.
Network Intrusion Detection
Another CIS capability tied to Albert Sensors pertains to Network Intrusion Detection. This capability is based upon the Suricata open source network analysis and threat detection software. The Suricata platform offers intrusion alerts, protocol transactions network flow diagrams, Packet Capture (PCAP) recordings, and extracted files.
The capabilities provided by the Suricata platform seem to go well beyond Network Intrusion Detection.
Deep Packet Inspection
CIS likes to focus public discussions of its service offerings upon the ability of Albert Sensors to capture Netflow Data and the use of open source Suricata software to detect network intrusions. What it rarely discusses outside of technical forums is its capability to perform Deep Packet Inspection (DPI). These “packets” are the real treasure for cybersecurity professionals and hackers alike. Netflow Data simply provides the treasure map.
Albert sensors deployed to SLTT and election organizations collected Netflow Data and much more from across the country. CIS uses Netflow Data to enable efficient targeting of “packets” of interest. The Suricata platform enables the recording of these “packets” of interest for later analysis. These recordings are sometimes referred to as PCAP’s. DPI refers to the CIS ability to “inspect” PCAPs ostensibly to detect the introduction of malware into a given network.
In context of elections, the packets of interest would be voter registration data and election results. During Mike Lindell’s Absolute series, packet information corresponding to vote flips was shared with the general public. Once again, it would be interesting to explore the packet information obtained by CIS to see if there is any correlation with the data shared by Mike Lindell.
Einstein
The CIS Albert Sensors work in concert with another system called “Einstein”. Einstein is a cybersecurity system that has been developed and administered by the Federal CISA.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has the mission to provide a common baseline of security across the Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) and to help agencies manage their cyber risk. This common baseline is provided in part through the EINSTEIN system. EINSTEIN serves two key roles in FCEB cybersecurity. First, EINSTEIN detects and blocks cyberattacks from compromising federal agencies. Second, EINSTEIN provides CISA with the situational awareness to use threat information detected in one agency to protect the rest of the government and to help the private sector protect itself.
CISA.gov/Einstein
While Albert Sensors are focused upon State, Local, Tribal and Territorial units of government, Einstein is focused upon security units within the federal government. CISA and CIS often work jointly on cybersecurity efforts effectively combining “Albert” with “Einstein” as a demonstration of their operational synergy.
Center for Internet Security (CIS)
Let’s go beyond a discussion of the technology and into a discussion of the people behind the technology. Exactly who is the Center for Internet Security (CIS)?
Who Works for CIS?
According to the latest publicly available Form 990 for CIS, they have 308 employees and 184 volunteers plus an unknown number of subcontractors.
CIS features a management team that has significant experience working for the federal government.
Please note that in addition to employees, CIS employs a robust suite of contractors likely privy to most if not all of the information available to employees.
How Does CIS Make Money?
One of the best ways to understand what drives the operations of any organization is to follow the money. An examination of CIS revenue sources per their Form 990 reveals that their primary source of revenue is the federal government. This revenue comes in the form of grants and various program services.
Federal Grant
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security provides annual grants to CIS in support of CISA’s MS-ISAC program.
These funds enable the federal government to offer CIS products and services for free to county governments. With a 98% adoption rate, “free” cybersecurity products and services appear to be a difficult deal for most election officials to refuse.
Here’s a sample of a CIS County Memorandum of Agreement (MOA).
This agreement or something similar to it is reported to cover 98% of the election infrastructure across America. So, while electronic voting systems used to manage elections may vary widely from county to county, there is a significant degree of homogeneity when it comes to who controls the data going into and out of these electronic voting systems. The significance of this unprecedented level of data access regarding our elections cannot be overstated.
Just to be clear, access to “any communications or data transiting” means that anyone employed by CIS including their many subcontractors and even partners would likely have access to our election data. This “data” includes user accounts, privileges, and credentials – everything one would need to go beyond “listening” to data flowing over the network and actually manipulate such data in transit.
Under the Biden Administration, this MOA has been picking up steam. On May 2021, Biden signed an Executive Order to expand the scope of the MOA’s to address more detailed “object level” data (i.e. packet information).
However, Biden signed a cybersecurity Executive Order in May 2021 that required anyone in the CDM program to sign an new agreement (MOA). This mandates they now provide the more detailed “object level” data to CISA. This is supposedly for better “assessment and threat-hunting” purposes. ALBERT customers automatically become members of MS-ISAC. This Multi-State sharing program distributes cybersecurity information amongst its 13,000 members. It’s like your PC anti-virus software which reports any cyber issue, experienced by any user, to one central command.
Source: The Gateway Pundit https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/12/alberts-systems/
The previous MOA was between SLTT entities and CIS. The new MOA extends the terms of the agreement to include the federal government directly via CISA. Under the new MOA, the federal government is now effectively the middleman for all election data across all 50 states.
Program Services
In addition to federal grants related to the deployment of Albert Sensors to SLTT entities, Program Services provide a major source of revenue for CIS. These program services are broken down into the following categories in their Form 990:
- Security Best Practices
- Partner Paid
- Product Sales
- Democracy Fund
- C. Cyber Security Network (2-1-1)
Let’s take a closer look at these services.
Security Best Practices
A significant source of revenue pertains to training services for security best practices.
Partner Paid
In addition to providing “free” services to counties as part of the MS-ISAC program, CIS also offers cybersecurity benchmarking services to state, local, territorial and tribal (SLTT) government entities.
Product Sales
CIS also generates revenue by marketing their brand and various resources.
Democracy Fund
One of the significant sources of revenue cited by CIS in their Form 990 filing is an organization referred to as the Democracy Fund. Interestingly, Democracy Fund was also identified as one of CIS’s largest expenses under “Program Service Accomplishments.
It appears that Democracy Fund served as the cybersecurity advocacy wing of CIS with their target being election officials but it is difficult to discern their exact role.
C. Cyber Security Network (2-1-1)
I was unable to chase down any useful information pertaining to this CIS revenue source.
Risks
The CIS Albert Sensors have been deployed to cover 98% of America’s election infrastructure. That is a significant market footprint. This market footprint corresponds to a single point of failure for what has been designated a Critical Infrastructure Component for America – our elections. Any bad actor intent upon undermining the integrity of our elections would likely focus on this single access point.
Should we be concerned about this risk? Let’s see.
Lack of Transparency
Lack of transparency provides fertile ground for the corruption of any organization. That’s why transparency in the conduct of our elections is so important. The increasing using of electronic systems to manage the conduct of our elections makes transparency more and more difficult. Election observers can readily monitor paper transactions. However, election observers are often denied access to election systems which conduct electronic transactions. How then would the general public know if our election results had been subverted via manipulation of electronic election records?
To perform this oversight, citizens rely predominantly upon Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. Unfortunately, there seems to be a pattern of “outsourcing” key government election functions to privately managed, non-government organizations (NGO’s) which are not subject to FOIA requests.
- CIS provides cybersecurity.
- ERIC manages voter registration data.
- Electronic voting system vendors tabulate our votes.
The upside to our government using outside organizations is that they are often able to secure the services of the best and brightest minds in a given field of expertise. There are significant downsides however. NGO’s such as CIS are not subject to FOIA requests. Furthermore, these private organizations are very tight-lipped in the data they share with their customers. After all, if this data was shared with public officials, this information would be subject to disclosure via FOIA requests. In this light, the use of private organizations would certainly be beneficial to anyone attempting to prevent the public from accessing key information related to election integrity.
CIS
As “gatekeepers” to our election system, CIS sits smack dab in the middle of all data flow pertaining to our election system. This is a powerful role. We know that CIS data is unavailable to the public at large because they are a private organization not subject to FOIA requests. Did you know that the data collected by CIS when monitoring the cyber traffic for their customers cannot even be viewed by their own customers? In the words of Nancy Churchill in the following article, “The Albert sensor is a true “black box system” – a node on the county network that the county cannot control and cannot monitor.”
Inside this “black box”, CIS operatives have the ability to capture, analyze and potentially modify packet information obtained via Albert Sensors. All this can be performed without any oversight by their customers or the general public.
Election Registration Information Center (ERIC)
Another important NGO pertaining to elections is known as the Election Registration Information Center or ERIC. ERIC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) membership organization consisting of state election officials working together ostensibly to improve the accuracy of state voter registration lists and educate eligible citizens on how to register to vote.
ERIC controls the information captured within state voter registration databases. These databases not only include lists of eligible voters for a given election, they also contain their voting history plus a significant amount of sensitive PII.
CIS has made reference to having customers in election integrity organizations in addition to their SLTT customers. ERIC is likely one of those customers, but this has not yet been confirmed. Because ERIC is a private organization, it also is not subject to FOIA requests. The general public has no idea how ERIC and its partners manipulate the contents of state voter registration databases. If these databases contain records that enable ineligible voters to vote, our election system is exposed to a significant avenue for election fraud.
Electronic Voting Systems
The last example of private organizations running our elections without any substantive transparency pertain to electronic voting system vendors like Dominion, ES&S or Hart Intercivic. Electronic voting systems are responsible for tabulating the votes cast on ballots across America. Due to illusory provisions in their contracts with our government, citizens and even most government officials are not allowed to examine how they tabulate the votes or even examine their audit trail.
Because they are a private organization, they are not subject to FOIA requests.
The general public cannot see how our votes are tabulated, but private Voting System Test Laboratory (VSTL) vendors such as Pro V&V or SLI can. To make matters worse, the responsibility for monitoring VSTL vendors features a former voting system vendor executive. This all makes for a very opaque, close knit community responsible for the oversight of our elections.
Lack of Data Privacy
The CIS MOA includes a provision that “computer users have no reasonable expectation for privacy”. This should raise eyebrows. After all, the data collected by CIS via Albert Sensors goes well beyond election data in scope. Since CIS deploys these sensors on State, Local, Tribal and Territorial government networks, any of the data communicated through the Albert Sensor is subject to collection and analysis. Citizens file tax forms electronically. Police investigations feature electronic records. Government assistance and health records are stored and communicated electronically. Employee records and other human resource data on employees are stored and communicated electronically. CIS has positioned itself to collect a significant amount of personally identifiable information (PII) that could be used to intimidate, blackmail, or otherwise make the life of everyday citizens quite miserable…all without public oversight.
Trustworthiness of “Trusted” Organizations
Citizens are forced to place a significant amount of trust in organizations protected from transparency. Are there “trusted” organizations without our election system that should not be trusted? What would happen if Albert Sensors and the Einstein system were to enable enemies of America to operate with impunity inside the gates of our election systems?
In an organization with as broad a reach as CIS (98% of election infrastructure), all it would take is one bad actor among its employees, contractors, customers or partner organizations to compromise the security of any network to which their products have been deployed to secure. Is the trust in organizations such as CIS warranted? Let’s find out.
Twitter Files
Twitter is a private organization that has been lionized in the media as a free speech platform that protects the general public from misinformation. This media perception of Twitter changed drastically in the wake of Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter. Musk then proceeded to release an avalanche of information on the inner workings of Twitter known as the “Twitter files”.
The Twitter Files clearly reveal evidence that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) interfered with the 2020 election. CIS and their partners feature significant ties to the FBI. Their role as election data gatekeeper would certainly make them a tempting target of any bad actors in the FBI.
Hunter Biden Laptop
The FBI is not the only federal agency associated with election interference. The intelligence community was heavily involved as well as evidenced by the following letter released shortly before the November 3, 2020 general election.
The letter falsely insinuates that the Hunter Biden laptop containing evidence of treason by members of the Biden family was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. While this letter is rather nuanced in this connection, the “Twitter Files” show that government officials were much more assertive in their directives to block the release of any information that would cast Joe Biden in a bad light before the 2020 election.
What is most concerning is that the contents of the Biden laptop indicate significant financial contributions by China to the Biden family. Against this backdrop, the former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe issued a memo on January 7, 2021 entitled “Views on Intelligence Community Election Security Analysis” in which he asserts the views of China cyber analysts were suppressed by the incoming administration so as to give the impression that China was not interested in influencing our elections.
CIS and their partners feature significant ties to the intelligence community. Their role as election data gatekeeper would certainly make them a tempting target of any bad actors in the intelligence community.
Democracy Fund
Now let’s have a closer look at one of the partners of the Center for Internet Security known as The Democracy Fund. The Democracy Fund is a strange bedfellow for CIS.
The Democracy Fund is a charity created by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar to help the Democrat Party and fund leftwing media. They provided funding to the NSGIC (National State Geospatial Council) and partnered with CTCL to push the “Geo-Enabled Elections” initiative. They want to create GIS map departments in targeted elections to digitize all voters into a lat/long, to map their location. Sophisticated mapping is the lefts key to targeting voters. Their efforts to connect GIS systems with electronic voting systems enables anyone with access to the GIS system to also have access to election records not available to the general public.
Democracy Fund was also involved with the “Voting Information Project” (VIP). This was brainchild of left leaning Pew Charitable Trust in partnership with Google. It collects massive amounts of election information from States and Counties, including sample ballots, polling places, and voter registration. The VIP project controls and disseminates election information to voters nationwide. Democracy Fund also hired a consultant in 2017 to work on an election modeling project that lasted years. This same consultant was on the NIST team that created our election data standards. Democracy Fund pushes the corrupt Ranked Choice Voting system and supports leftwing voter registration organizations like Rock the Vote, Democracy Works, and FairVote.
The Amistad Project has mapped out the financial ties between the Democracy Fund other progressive organizations such as the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL).
CTCL has been cited in numerous equal protection lawsuits related to election integrity.
No matter how you slice it, any CIS connection to the Democracy Fund should raise the eyebrows of anyone concerned with election integrity.
What products and services were provided to the Democracy Fund by CIS in exchange for their payments?
Were they provided with “inside the gates” access to sensitive election information?
The answer is difficult to tell because both Democracy Fund and CIS are private organizations not subject to FOIA requests.
CIS and their partners feature significant ties to the Democracy Fund. Their role as election data gatekeeper would certainly make them a tempting target of any bad actors in the Democracy Fund.
Shutdown DC
There are many other organizations tied to election interference which involve current federal employees and contractors. Shutdown DC is one of these organizations which you have probably never heard about. Millie Weaver exposes their operations in the following story featuring Zoom calls attended by federal employees and contractors.
The federal government should have a very insignificant role in the management of our elections yet as Biden’s Executive Order and Zoom calls such as the one referenced in Millie Weaver’s post indicate, there are individuals within the federal government with definite plans to exert significant influence in our elections.
CIS and their partners feature significant ties to current and past federal employees. Their role as election data gatekeeper would certainly make them a tempting target of any bad actors in the federal government.
Effectiveness
Some may argue that the use of private organizations not subject to transparency is worth the risk due to the cybersecurity threats posed by hackers and state actors. In this light, it is reasonable to ask “are Albert Sensors effective at securing government sites from cyber threats?” As it turns out, there is significant evidence that they are not effective.
Despite the use of the name of widely respected genius Albert Einstein, Ferry County, WA county officials were not impressed when nearby Lincoln County was the victim of a ransomware attack a month after the installation of their Albert sensor. CIS reportedly didn’t even notify Lincoln County officials of the attack. Ferry County commissioners later voted to remove their Albert Sensors but around 98% of America’s election infrastructure still uses them.
Albert was not the only half of the “Albert Einstein” collaboration to have failed to protect organizations. The CISA Einstein system didn’t prevent Federal Agencies from being compromised by the Solar Winds Orion Platform intrusion.
The SolarWinds Cyber-Attack was successful because it compromised a trusted software component responsible for updating client software installations. It was successful because it had planted malware inside the supposedly secure cyber walls protecting over 18,000 SolarWinds customers including CISA itself. It certainly would be interesting to know if CIS, the gatekeeper of our nation’s election data, was also a SolarWinds customer. If so, whoever was behind the 2020 SolarWinds hack, likely had control over who our President would be.
If Albert Sensors increase the risk of bad actors having the ability to control election data all across the country yet they are not effective at protecting government systems from hacking, we need to seriously investigate whether or not cybersecurity is the real reason they have been deployed. After all, we could mitigate the need for such cutting edge skills in the management of our elections by simply counting paper ballots by hand, but that’s not the path they chose. We should be asking why they chose not to follow the lead of countries such as France and the Netherlands who tabulate paper ballot votes by hand. Instead, we blindly trust our government officials when they pursue electronic voting systems to manage election records and tabulate our votes.
CONCLUSION
Those who support the assertion by the former CISA Director Chris Krebs that the 2020 election was “the most secure election in American history” have long claimed that our electronic voting systems are secure from man-in-the-middle attacks due to the use of firewalls, VPN’s, secure tunnel protocols and organizations such as the Center for Internet Security.
How do we know this? They tell us that it is so, of course.
What happens if we as citizens seek to investigate the security of our elections ourselves? We are prevented from getting access to the information necessary to demonstrate that the chain of custody regarding our election records has been maintained.
When we protest, we are told that we need to trust them. They then proceed to engage private organizations to perform most of their dirty work knowing full well that these organizations are not subject to our primary investigative tool as citizens – the FOIA request.
We already have substantive evidence of federal employees engaged in plots with private organizations to undermine the integrity of our elections.
It was big news when social media company Twitter collected $3,415,323 since 2019 from the FBI in exchange for censoring Biden’s political opponents. The Center for Internet Security collected $42,904,994 from the Department of Homeland Security in a single year.
CIS capabilities go beyond influencing public opinion. Through the use of Albert Sensors, CIS is the gatekeeper for the data that determines who wins our elections. There is little to no oversight of their efforts. Do we need another billionaire to purchase CIS to finally find out what really happens to our election data?
The American people are unwittingly placing an inordinate amount of trust in a private organization and the organizations with whom it collaborates. The SolarWinds hack was enabled by the corruption of a trusted software component. What happens when our elections are hacked by trusted individuals?
We are told that there are security protocols in place that prevent internet-based “man-in-the-middle” attacks that could manipulate the results of our elections. What happens if the dreaded internet-based “man-in-the-middle” attacks are actually performed by individuals “in-the-middle” of an organization’s trusted network environment? What if the manipulation of election data occurred within the vaulted security walls that we have erected around our election data? How would we ever know?
Today’s system is designed to prevent us from ever knowing. That lack of transparency should concern every citizen in our nation…especially in light of the evidence of “trusted” individuals in government already haven been caught attempting to manipulate our elections.
It is time to apply President Reagan’s “trust but verify” policy to private organizations at the center of our modern electronic voting systems such as CIS and ERIC. We either need to make CIS and ERIC subject to FOIA requests or we need to remove the risks they pose by returning to hand counts of paper ballots.

Spot on with this write-up, I actually assume this web site wants much more consideration. I抣l probably be again to learn way more, thanks for that info.
We need better transparency laws.
Whether you believe in God or not, this is a must-read message!!!
Throughout time, we can see how we have been slowly conditioned to come to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that the Bible foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?
In Revelation 13:16-18, we read,
“He (the false prophet who decieves many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!
These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one “OR” the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate only in one place.
This is where it really starts to come together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the implatnable RFID microchip. These are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip
“Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).
Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.
Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.
Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip.”
Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appear in that location. This is what the book of Revelation says:
“And the first (angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image” (Revelation 16:2).
You can read more about it here–and to also understand the mystery behind the number 666: https://2ruth.org/rfid-mark-of-the-beast-666-revealed/
The third angel’s warning in Revelation 14:9-11 states,
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.'”
Who is Barack Obama, and why is he still in the public scene?
So what’s in the name? The meaning of someone’s name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface.
Jesus says in Luke 10:18, “…I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
The Hebrew Strongs word (H1299) for “lightning”: “bârâq” (baw-rawk)
In Isaiah chapter 14, verse 14, we read about Lucifer (Satan) saying in his heart:
“I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.”
In the verses in Isaiah that refer directly to Lucifer, several times it mentions him falling from the heights or the heavens. The Hebrew word for the heights or heavens used here is Hebrew Strongs 1116: “bamah”–Pronounced (bam-maw’)
In Hebrew, the letter “Waw” or “Vav” is often transliterated as a “U” or “O,” and it is primarily used as a conjunction to join concepts together. So to join in Hebrew poetry the concept of lightning (Baraq) and a high place like heaven or the heights of heaven (Bam-Maw), the letter “U” or “O” would be used. So, Baraq “O” Bam-Maw or Baraq “U” Bam-Maw in Hebrew poetry similar to the style written in Isaiah, would translate literally to “Lightning from the heights.” The word “Satan” in Hebrew is a direct translation, therefore “Satan.”
So when Jesus told His disciples in Luke 10:18 that He beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven, if this were to be spoken by a Jewish Rabbi today influenced by the poetry in the book of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew–the words of Jesus in Luke 10:18 as, And I saw Satan as Baraq O Bam-Maw.
The names of both of Obama’s daughters are Malia and Natasha. If we were to write those names backward (the devil does things in reverse) we would get “ailam ahsatan”. Now if we remove the letters that spell “Alah” (Allah being the false god of Islam), we get “I am Satan”. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Obama’s campaign logo when he ran in 2008 was a sun over the horizon in the west, with the landscape as the flag of the United States. In Islam, they have their own messiah that they are waiting for called the 12th Imam, or the Mahdi (the Antichrist of the Bible), and one prophecy concerning this man’s appearance is the sun rising in the west.
“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.'” (Revelation 14:6-7)
Why have the word’s of Jesus in His Gospel accounts regarding His death, burial, and resurrection, been translated into over 3,000 languages, and nothing comes close? The same God who formed the heavens and earth that draws all people to Him through His creation, likewise has sent His Word to the ends of the earth so that we may come to personally know Him to be saved in spirit and in truth through His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus stands alone among the other religions that say to rightly weigh the scales of good and evil and to make sure you have done more good than bad in this life. Is this how we conduct ourselves justly in a court of law? Bearing the image of God, is this how we project this image into reality?
Our good works cannot save us. If we step before a judge, being guilty of a crime, the judge will not judge us by the good that we have done, but rather by the crimes we have committed. If we as fallen humanity, created in God’s image, pose this type of justice, how much more a perfect, righteous, and Holy God?
God has brought down His moral laws through the 10 commandments given to Moses at Mt. Siani. These laws were not given so we may be justified, but rather that we may see the need for a savior. They are the mirror of God’s character of what He has put in each and every one of us, with our conscious bearing witness that we know that it is wrong to steal, lie, dishonor our parents, murder, and so forth.
We can try and follow the moral laws of the 10 commandments, but we will never catch up to them to be justified before a Holy God. That same word of the law given to Moses became flesh about 2,000 years ago in the body of Jesus Christ. He came to be our justification by fulfilling the law, living a sinless perfect life that only God could fulfill.
The gap between us and the law can never be reconciled by our own merit, but the arm of Jesus is stretched out by the grace and mercy of God. And if we are to grab on, through faith in Him, He will pull us up being the one to justify us. As in the court of law, if someone steps in and pays our fine, even though we are guilty, the judge can do what is legal and just and let us go free. That is what Jesus did almost 2,000 years ago on the cross. It was a legal transaction being fulfilled in the spiritual realm by the shedding of His blood.
For God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:23). This is why in Isaiah chapter 53, where it speaks of the coming Messiah and His soul being a sacrifice for our sins, why it says it pleased God to crush His only begotten Son.
This is because the wrath that we deserve was justified by being poured out upon His Son. If that wrath was poured out on us, we would all perish to hell forever. God created a way of escape by pouring it out on His Son whose soul could not be left in Hades but was raised and seated at the right hand of God in power.
So now when we put on the Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 13:14), God no longer sees the person who deserves His wrath, but rather the glorious image of His perfect Son dwelling in us, justifying us as if we received the wrath we deserve, making a way of escape from the curse of death–now being conformed into the image of the heavenly man in a new nature, and no longer in the image of the fallen man Adam.
Now what we must do is repent and put our trust and faith in the savior, confessing and forsaking our sins, and to receive His Holy Spirit that we may be born again (for Jesus says we must be born again to enter the Kingdom of God–John chapter 3). This is not just head knowledge of believing in Jesus, but rather receiving His words, taking them to heart, so that we may truly be transformed into the image of God. Where we no longer live to practice sin, but rather turn from our sins and practice righteousness through faith in Him in obedience to His Word by reading the Bible.
Our works cannot save us, but they can condemn us; it is not that we earn our way into everlasting life, but that we obey our Lord Jesus Christ:
“And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” (Hebrews 5:9)
“Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.’
Then He who sat on the throne said, ‘Behold, I make all things new.’ And He said to me, ‘Write, for these words are true and faithful.’
And He said to me, ‘It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.'” (Revelation 21:1-8).

“HOLY CRAP. This thing is amazing.” – https://cutt.ly/WBaqGRQ
Whether you believe in God or not, this is a must-read message!!!
Throughout time, we can see how we have been slowly conditioned to come to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that the Bible foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?
In Revelation 13:16-18, we read,
“He (the false prophet who decieves many by his miracles) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!
These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one “OR” the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate only in one place.
This is where it really starts to come together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the implatnable RFID microchip. These are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip
“Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).
Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.
Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, crime record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.
Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip.”
Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appear in that location. This is what the book of Revelation says:
“And the first (angel) went, and poured out his vial on the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore on the men which had the mark of the beast, and on them which worshipped his image” (Revelation 16:2).
You can read more about it here–and to also understand the mystery behind the number 666: https://2ruth.org/rfid-mark-of-the-beast-666-revealed/
The third angel’s warning in Revelation 14:9-11 states,
“Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, ‘If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.'”
Who is Barack Obama, and why is he still in the public scene?
So what’s in the name? The meaning of someone’s name can say a lot about a person. God throughout history has given names to people that have a specific meaning tied to their lives. How about the name Barack Obama? Let us take a look at what may be hiding beneath the surface.
Jesus says in Luke 10:18, “…I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.”
The Hebrew Strongs word (H1299) for “lightning”: “bârâq” (baw-rawk)
In Isaiah chapter 14, verse 14, we read about Lucifer (Satan) saying in his heart:
“I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.”
In the verses in Isaiah that refer directly to Lucifer, several times it mentions him falling from the heights or the heavens. The Hebrew word for the heights or heavens used here is Hebrew Strongs 1116: “bamah”–Pronounced (bam-maw’)
In Hebrew, the letter “Waw” or “Vav” is often transliterated as a “U” or “O,” and it is primarily used as a conjunction to join concepts together. So to join in Hebrew poetry the concept of lightning (Baraq) and a high place like heaven or the heights of heaven (Bam-Maw), the letter “U” or “O” would be used. So, Baraq “O” Bam-Maw or Baraq “U” Bam-Maw in Hebrew poetry similar to the style written in Isaiah, would translate literally to “Lightning from the heights.” The word “Satan” in Hebrew is a direct translation, therefore “Satan.”
So when Jesus told His disciples in Luke 10:18 that He beheld Satan fall like lightning from heaven, if this were to be spoken by a Jewish Rabbi today influenced by the poetry in the book of Isaiah, he would say these words in Hebrew–the words of Jesus in Luke 10:18 as, And I saw Satan as Baraq O Bam-Maw.
The names of both of Obama’s daughters are Malia and Natasha. If we were to write those names backward (the devil does things in reverse) we would get “ailam ahsatan”. Now if we remove the letters that spell “Alah” (Allah being the false god of Islam), we get “I am Satan”. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
Obama’s campaign logo when he ran in 2008 was a sun over the horizon in the west, with the landscape as the flag of the United States. In Islam, they have their own messiah that they are waiting for called the 12th Imam, or the Mahdi (the Antichrist of the Bible), and one prophecy concerning this man’s appearance is the sun rising in the west.
“Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— saying with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.'” (Revelation 14:6-7)
Why have the word’s of Jesus in His Gospel accounts regarding His death, burial, and resurrection, been translated into over 3,000 languages, and nothing comes close? The same God who formed the heavens and earth that draws all people to Him through His creation, likewise has sent His Word to the ends of the earth so that we may come to personally know Him to be saved in spirit and in truth through His Son Jesus Christ.
Jesus stands alone among the other religions that say to rightly weigh the scales of good and evil and to make sure you have done more good than bad in this life. Is this how we conduct ourselves justly in a court of law? Bearing the image of God, is this how we project this image into reality?
Our good works cannot save us. If we step before a judge, being guilty of a crime, the judge will not judge us by the good that we have done, but rather by the crimes we have committed. If we as fallen humanity, created in God’s image, pose this type of justice, how much more a perfect, righteous, and Holy God?
God has brought down His moral laws through the 10 commandments given to Moses at Mt. Siani. These laws were not given so we may be justified, but rather that we may see the need for a savior.
