Wisconsin software design company, Three Square Market, is the first U.S. technology company to offer its employees microchip implants. The rice size chip is implanted underneath the skin between the thumb and forefinger, making daily office activities easier and faster.
According to Three Square Market CEO Todd Westby, who was just implanted himself, the chips are being used to open doors that require identification, to make purchases in the break room and to log into computers. However, the chip is not able to track where employees are at all times, he said.
“It’s no different than carrying around a proximity card that you carry around or your credit card that you swipe. We don’t gather that information. It’s submitted directly to the credit card companies,” he said.
Employees are voluntarily implanted and are able to make purchases by waving their hand in front of a chip or credit card reader. Westby said a serial number is shared with credit card companies, but personal information stays private.
“The credit card company looks at this chip as a credit card. All we do is share with them a serial number which is the same as a credit card number but much safer,” he said. Westby added while most were on board, some employees chose not to participate in the program.
Many people think that microchip technology is the mark of the beast. While that is not the case (Revelation 13 makes it clear that false worship is the mark of the beast), a microchip could easily be used to help enforce the no-buy-no-sell law that the beast imposes on those who refuse to comply with the coming worship law. This would be a first step toward that ultimate outcome.
“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:17.

Please pray for India and for Sijo and his ministry in India. Rising persecution is creating stress on the Hindu nation, especially for Christians. The government enacts repressive laws against Christianity. Persecution is especially difficult in the north where there are killings and torture of Christians, the spread of anti-Christian propaganda. India apparently intends to abolish Christianity in India by 2020.

Friday June 19th, 2026 at 12:02 PMTodd Westby loves to pitch himself as a cutting-edge tech innovator, but the reality of his business model is incredibly predatory. He is the co-founder/owner of T.W. Vending and TurnKey Corrections (which operates Inmate Canteen and Kimble’s Food by Design).
While he goes on TV to talk about tech convenience, his platforms are locked in captive jail markets charging families sky-high fees. They actively accept deposits for “Communication Funds” in facilities that don’t even support the service, only to block refunds and trap the money. Even worse, if an outside user has a bank or card dispute, his company retaliates by draining the completely separate, legitimate baseline balance of the incarcerated individual. It is pure corporate extortion disguised as tech innovation. People need to look past the suit and see who his companies are actually hurting.
