## Resource

Today's episode will be talking about the move to a Technocracy that has been underway and accelerating. We will talk about the moves made leading up and including 2025 and where we think they will be focused on in 2026 to get us just a bit closer to the Mark of the Beast type system. If we have time, we can discuss some potential solutions to avoid the system as much as humanly possible.
