Major League Baseball (MLB) team the Houston Astros recently announced they would be integrating facial recognition ticketing, to speed-up the entry process for patrons at the opening gates of Minute Maid Park.

‘Fans have to opt-in to the service, which will allow them to enter the stadium without having to show a ticket, by registering through the MLB Ballpark app,’ the Houston Chronicle reported.

The paper added, ‘At each Minute Maid Park gate, there will be a special lane for Go-Ahead Entry in which fans can skip the lines and walk through without having to show a ticket once they make it through security. It also works with groups as long as the person signed up for the service has all of their group’s tickets in their MLB Ballpark app.’

Last year The WinePress reported that the Philadelphia Phillies would be the first MLB team to install this technology. The MLB hopes to integrate this system in all their associated stadiums later this year.

However, the Houston Chronicle noted that each patron’s similitude will be tokenized for easier convenience.

To register, fans who are 18 and older and have a digital ticket to the game in their MLB Ballpark app take what amounts to a selfie through the app. According to MLB officials, the images of fans aren’t stored or shared, but instead converted into a digital token that is used to authenticate fans’ likenesses as they walk through the gates. Fans take the selfie just once as they register and it will be used throughout the season upon entry.

The paper explained

The process is the same for the Phillies. On the team’s website, a subsite of the MLB’s, it is expressly explained that patron’s interaction will be tokenized.

In accordance with MLB’s Privacy Policy, Go-Ahead Entry cameras will scan your face to create a unique numerical token associated with you. The facial scans will be deleted immediately thereafter. Only the unique numerical token will be retained and associated with your MLB account.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

The facial recognition and cashless payment thing is bad enough as is, and we obviously know where that’s going (Revelation 13:16-18); but something I completely missed the first time around (and I’m disappointed in myself that I did), was the fact that the MLB is blatantly saying they are going to tokenize people.

That, my friends, is woeful news to hear. You see, if you understand what tokenization is, and what the banks are doing to accomedate this (see video above), then you can start to connect some grim dots together; as tokenization is not just digitizing physical assets and currencies, but even YOU and your interactions; which, in turn, can be eventually traded around on a blockchain and markets, via smart contracts and these tokens.

Thus, it begins to make a little more sense, in the context of Mystery Babylon and this ultra-high-tech world that is being built, how some of the commodities being traded are explicitly “slaves and souls of men.” That’s how I see it that is. Post your thoughts below.

[12] The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, [13] And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

Revelation 18:12-13

I hope to talk more about this reality in future about tokenization. Not enough people understand what it’s all about.


[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
