What happens is that your card can be read from scanners up to 20 feet away when they are activated by the scanner....
The purchases one makes through plastic, and the cell phones with GPS are used to track you.....
They also can plant a device on your car or vehicles....which will keep them informed where you are...
but the card cant call up anyone....it can only answer a scan...supposedly............

And yet we keep sending them money.
Either stop paying them and take your punishment or punish them, or do your best to do what is right with what you are able to change.
I do think that the people should offer a voluntary tax of 10-20% to their local governments (state taxes to be apportioned upward by local leaders). This may be a way to encourage a power shift that fosters a transition of control from national to local levels. Unlikely, right? Nevertheless, I will advocate a righteous and justified course over violence and fear regardless of supposed effectiveness.
Any other gentlemanly solutions?

Hell is rarely spoken of in the scriptures, but I do understand your point. No, the scriptures don't hide what is true except in parables, and that had a particular purpose. However, if you understand the scriptures, you must understand that is it healthy for the sheep to remain gentle and not get riled up (except in cases of defense). And you must also understand that the "powers" that are acting out at higher levels are a necessary function in our "body" just as Rome fulfilled it's function in the time of Christ.
If we are to follow Christ's teachings and give back to Caesar all of the items which has "his" image on it, it might be possible to treat the government as the impotent shadow that it is. But so long as people run in fear or otherwise do nothing, it actually serves to empower such a shadow.
So who is willing to be first to send all of their money back to Caesar so that "he" can have his worthless paper? That certainly should come before most any other sort of reactions. I am not willing to kill over this matter. Maybe you are, but then I suggest that the Shepherd may not treat you as a sheep based upon your own conduct. Who tears down? The wolves and thieves. So then, no sheep of Our Father's would do such a thing except it be justified, both physically and spiritually. Obviously, that would/should be a rare situation.
I will hate myself before I hate others, as much as I am able to exercise self-control.
