psychoceramics: Barcodes = Mark of the Beast????

[Joyce <joyce @ power.net>]

Hi there,

Last night I heard the most amazing rant on a local talk show, but the 
host kept cutting the guy off and now I'm left with a couple of 
questions.

This guy started off sounding relatively sane talking about the 
assault weapon ban and the 2nd Ammendment. Wouldn't you know, he then 
started going off about the UN, black helicopters, and the like before 
bringing up "smart cards", barcodes, and....the Mark of the Beast. He 
said something about the number six on barcodes being "two very thin 
lines very close to each other" but then the host cut him off.

I was able to gather that these smart cards, which are "currently in 
use by the Canadian government," are credit-card like and have all of 
a person's information embedded in the magnetic strip, but I was 
really intrigued by the barcode conspiracy. Has anyone heard of this? 
What is it, and is there a website somewhere that references this?

The guy pleaded with listeners to go through the homes and throw away 
anything that had a barcode on it! Boy, that's gonna take up my whole 
weekend!
