Major League Baseball launches biometric face scans to identify fans at increasing number of ballparks: Philadelphia Phillies joining New York Mets, Cleveland Guardians; More joining next season

Earlier this week I posted an article giving a comprehensive look at what life will be like after the globalists succeed in getting all of humanity outfitted with digital ID’s. I laid out the progression of how it will start out as completely “voluntary” with only the most techno-hip young people signing up to have their eyeballs and faces scanned at the point of entry into various modes of society — airplanes, buses, trains, concerts and sports stadiums.

But, little by little, the pressure will build for everyone to join the new means of universal digital identification, with governments and corporations switching in their approach from the carrot to the stick — just like they did with the toxic gene-therapy injections in 2021 and 2022. They promised they would never be mandatory, until they were. Take one, take two, or give up your job. Take one, or forego certain medical treatments.

Today there’s an article at Biometric Update that provides an example of how this process is already in play. The headline reads, “Philadelphia Phillies lead off facial recognition access pilot for Big League Baseball.”

In the below excerpt from the article, note that the pilot program based on identifying everyone by their facial scan will be expanded next season to include most or all Major League baseball parks. This is the beginning of the process whereby nobody will be allowed to enter such venues without a biometric digital ID.

By Chris Burt, BiometricUpdate

The Philadelphia Phillies of Major League Baseball (MLB) are launching ticketless stadium entry with facial recognition.

Fans can register to use the service at dedicated lanes by submitting a selfie through the MLB Ballpark app. The images are converted into biometric templates and then deleted. Fans do not need to scan a ticket or their phone when entering. Security screening is carried out separately but simultaneously, reports KYW Newsradio.

Groups can use the dedicated lane, as long as the person holding all the tickets is enrolled in the service. Only fans 18 years of age or older can enroll their face biometrics. The app also provides an option for users to ā€œun-enroll.ā€

ā€œGo-Ahead Entryā€ is a pilot program initiated by the MLB, and launching at Citizens Bank Ballpark on Monday, August 21. MLB plans to expand the system to other ballparks next season.

Philadelphia marks the third Major League ballpark to use biometric facial ID to digitally identify those who enter the stadium. Facial recognition is reportedly already being used for entry to New York Mets’ games with a serviceĀ provided by Wicket, while a program called Clear is used for biometric entry to baseball games inĀ ClevelandĀ andĀ elsewhere. They call it “ticketless” or “frictionless” entry. All so nice and convenient. It’s all for your safety, of course. Don’t forget that. Safety, security and convenience, as we march on toward a total surveillance state where no one moves anywhere without pre-approval.

Major League Baseball is testing the waters. They want to see how many of their fans will voluntarily sign up for this invasive global digital ID program, and if enough of them do sign up, they will make it mandatory within a couple of years. You won’t be able to attend a ballgame without being digitally marked. It will work the same for concerts, airlines, public transport of any kind, and eventually even shopping malls and grocery stores.

Any baseball fan who opts to participate in this, whether out of fear, convenience, or pure ignorance, is enabling the advancing beast system.

  1. This type of technology is nothing new. My MP company in Iraq way back in 2010 used what were called Retinal eye scanners on our detainees.

    These facial, retina, or fingerprint scans are more invasive and personal than having a digital ID on your cell phone. Testing the waters or conditioning people to get more comfortable with eventually getting ā€œthe markā€ on or under your skin. Moving closer to that, one step at a timeā€¦

  3. I’m wondering how many morons will believe that “The images are converted into biometric templates and then deleted.”? It’s just amazing how gullible ppl have become. I’ve always wondered if God is actually going to have send a strong delusion, ppl some to be doing it all by themselves.

        Strong delusion ā€“ definitely God can send that upon people and angels (He hid the true reason for the cross from Satan). Looks like He has started His judgment of this world.

        The adversary is at work, too, through his minions, and deceit is his most often used tool.

        Every progressive move toward a universal ID and total power often require us to surrender some part of our body to their control: wave your palm over the reader, look at the screen for the retinal scan, send us a selfie for a facial scan.

        It all began with COVID where we had to submit our entire bodies and those of our families to their enforced seclusion. If we were allowed to go out, ā€œPut this mask on your face.ā€ Then, later, ā€œGive me your arm (for this life-saving jab).ā€

        Hoping weā€™ll be cool with them eventually telling us to present (surrender) our hand or our forehead to them for a nice, convenient tattoo or implant so tiny we wonā€™t even notice itā€™s there. Of course, it will be totally ā€œsafe and secure.ā€

  4. I’m safe for now. I have no desire to see a baseball game. Ditto with flying, when that comes about. I’m seeing disturbing reports that Biden might call for us to wear masks again this fall. Nope, not me. I’ve already decided that, should my church require them, I won’t attend.

      2. I believe that home schooling can be good if the educators are the parents rather than having the children sit in front of a screen.

        I believe that public school will become obsolete in the future.

        If the ‘globalists’ have their way I believe that eventually they will simply download education directly into the brain. They will programme each individual depending on what function that individual is to serve.

        I wonder are they scanning the eyes just to receive information or can the scan be used to plant information in the brain or to alter how information is processed by the brain. This is a question worth considering.

  9. They can enjoy their baseball games that celebrate collectivism and the destruction of American culture or watch a near naked woman shout into the air at football halftimes. The games are going to accelerate the celebration of debautchery and Christians will have harder and harder time participating in them as fans. Would not surprise me if we return to actual gladiator games where people are willing to die for fame. Time for the checkout Trumpet Call of God! Maranatha.

Since I am a grandmother, I could not help but to notice the woman’s skinny legs under her long coat. Didn’t Mike Lindell [ standing next to President Trump ] encourage us to read the Bible, pray, and spend time with our families ? How many of us took him seriously…… &/or wish we had…. ? ?

  13. The good thing is that I don’t do any of the “hip” things like concerts and ballgames. The bad thing is most probably will because they are legally incapacitated idiots.

    My best hope is to die before they try to force people so I don’t have to die at the hands of government criminals or having to take a few with me. Sadly, the Tribulations have started already (the vaccine is the “death” of 1/4 of the population in Gods eyes as they sacrificed his protection for satans promise) and things are speeding up.

    I do know that God will call me home when He is ready. I just hope he doesn’t use satans tools to do it.

      1. No, I didn’t. I can feed myself, my house and car and truck is paid for, I can generate colloidal silver which has never failed to cure an infection in the last 20 years I’ve used it, I can generate a small amount of electricity with solar to power necessities and I will only ever go to a doctor if I am unable to stop whoever is bringing me.

        I know where it’s all going. There is a choice to make for everybody, and it is this…

        1) You can become self sufficient and avoid the beast on your own terms
        or
        2) You can do nothing during this time we have left to prepare and submit to the beast on it’s terms

        I chose the first option. Others must choose NOW too or else you are right. They will be forced to submit just to survive in the flesh at the cost of spiritual death.

        I thank you for what you do Leo. You are a shining light of truth in the darkness of lies. But the hardest truth to accept is that most people are unwilling to inconvenience themselves to listen.

        We couldn’t stop them from accepting a bioweapon shot or two or three. We can’t stop them from voluntarily submitting to the beast again when that time comes.

        Keep up the good fight. God sees it even if most people refuse to.

      2. Cornhollo, I would choose death if I couldn’t provide for myself. If God won’t help me survive outside the Beast System, I know He’ll give me the grace to die outside. But too many won’t understand or will be too scared to decline. Those who automatically looked to the State for salvation from the Sniffles for 3 years are sure to cave. The lockdown, 6 feet apart, and masks were a ceremony of renunciation of our humanity. Few realize this, but I felt it was religious in my gut before doing research.

        Hello Rachel, I wasn’t looking for an argument. I was simply pointing out that Revelation 13 doesn’t state how long the mark of the beast will be in effect, whether it be for 42 months or otherwise.

        I think it’s important that we don’t confuse or add to what is stated in Revelation 13.

      6. I add nothing to the scriptures by saying that the first and second beast are part of the same NWO system.
        Revelation 13:11-18 does not describe a second global system but an enforcer for the first. The smaller beast from the earth derives all authority from the seven headed monster arisen from the sea. Rev. 13:12
        He also supports the mark of the first beast used for commerce. Rev. 13:17-18.
        My interpretation is the generally accepted one. The second beast is called the False Prophet. Just because you disagree with it doesn’t mean I’m adding to the Bible. I don’t appreciate the accusation.

    2. Husband and I took early retirement and almost twenty years into it.
      Many are still working into retirement to keep up. We may have to defend ourselves against UN thugs or foreign invaders pillaging thru cities and towns. Now the news is hyping another covid variant and some are wearing masks again. Local news was talking about covid boosters, then RSV shots and flu shots for older people. We are not social, not into group activities, aim to keep relationships casual except for small minority of tuned in folks. I don’t trust vaccines anymore as mRNA could be in all of them now (virus vaccines).
