"The Trump administration is considering a proposal that would use Google, Amazon and Apple to collect data on users who exhibit characteristics of mental illness that could lead to violent behavior, the Washington Post reported Thursday ... The proposal is part of an initiative to create a Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA) ... HARPA would take after Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, which serves as the research arm for the Pentagon. The idea was first crafted in 2017 but has since gotten a renewed push after mass shootings." (source)

In another news report recently, it was revealed that China's social credit scoring system is actually developing in America ... "Many Westerners are disturbed by what they read about China's social credit system. But such systems, it turns out, are not unique to China. A parallel system is developing in the United States, in part as the result of Silicon Valley and technology-industry user policies, and in part by surveillance of social media activity by private companies."

Also, a new documentary film called 'The Great Hack' came out recently, in which it reveals that the greatest commodity today is DATA. More specifically, data on you and I. The first use of 'social data' was in influencing our choices, whether through buying a certain product or doing a certain activity. But will it end up being used as a tool to determine our place in society? - REVELATION 13:17. This new initiative by the Trump administration, to begin with, is to determine the fitness of certain people owning guns. But where will that end? It will end with government determining the 'fitness' of certain people being allow to continue being a part of society with buying and selling (Rev.13:17). Just like what is happening in China.

NOW LOOK AT THIS! - The Trump administration are looking at those who are 'mentally unstable.' Did you know they are now seeking to brand 'fundamental Christians' as 'mentally ill'? Look:

Religious fundamentalism may be a 'mental illness' that can be 'cured'

Brain damage is linked to religious extremism

Pope condemns religious fundamentalists during in-flight press conference

Do you see what is happening here? Religious fundamentalism is now a 'mental illness'? And who are the Trump administration going after with this new 'social data' plan? Those who they deem that have a 'mental illness.' Yes, to take away their guns at this point, but this is just the start of gaining control over those of us who live according to the truth that is in Jesus Christ and expose Satan's plans for the mark of the beast.

Friends, they know more about us than we realise. ALL of our internet activity and social media activity is recorded, so that they know who to target. And it is only a matter of time before those of us who live and preach the truth will be 'locked out' of society, no longer being able to 'buy and sell.' And persecution will follow.

So what must we do? We must be ready for that 'fiery trial that is to try us' (1 Peter 4:12-14). Our faith and characters must be fully surrendered and grounded upon our Lord Jesus Christ. Then we will be able to say, as 1 Peter 4:13 says ... I REJOICE THAT I MAY PARTAKE OF CHRIST'S SUFFERINGS!

It is 'high time' that we 'awake out of sleep, for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed' (Romans 13:11). Let us surrender all to Jesus and 'abide in Him' (John 15:5), for without Jesus we can do nothing! But with Him, we can 'do all things' (Philippians 4:13). Let us not slumber any more. Let us put on the whole armour of God, so that we can stand in the soon coming time of trouble and rejoice at the appearing of our Lord and Saviour!
