The Truth Behind Globalists’ War On Cash
burning platform ^

Posted on 02/18/2017 5:14:15 AM PST by Mount Athos

The global elite are making huge strides toward abolishing cash. They claim a cashless society will have numerous benefits, but could they have other motives for attempting to kill off cash?

The assault against physical currency is shifting into overdrive.

In the past six months alone:

India pulled 86% of its cash from circulation.

The EU froze production of €500 banknotes and announced plans to tighten its existing restrictions on cash transactions.

President of operations and technology at MasterCard, Rob Reeg, predicted that Australia will be a 100% cashless economy within the next 5-10 years.

Global decision makers know they have to justify these sweeping changes. A cashless society will struggle to succeed if too many fight back.

As a result, the mainstream PR machine is firing on all cylinders to win over the public. Here is what citizens are being told to convince them that abolishing cash is in their best interest.

1) Anti-terrorism: A classic appeal to fear, globalists are telling citizens that a cashless society would discourage terrorist activity and increase safety. Unfortunately, previous efforts to destroy terrorists’ cash reserves or limit their access to cash have already proved futile.

2) Convenience: 41% of US citizens today are using cash for less than half of their transactions; that number is even higher in other countries. Globalists argue a cashless mandate would simply favor the existing trend.

3) Criminals and fraud: Cashless advocates claim only criminals and fraudsters rely on physical currency. Even if that were true, the EU itself admits there is no “readily available and solid evidence on legitimate vs. illegitimate cash transactions.” Are These the Real Reasons Global Elites Want to Kill Off Cash?

The “official story” behind globalists’ cashless agenda is full of holes. So what are the genuine reasons for their rush to get rid of cash?

Not surprisingly, the economic “masters of the universe” stand to benefit handsomely from a cashless society. It all boils down to power, money, and control. Here are just a few of the things they stand to benefit from…

Monitoring and surveillance

A war on cash is a war on privacy. In a society where every transaction is tracked and recorded, nobody can live outside the state’s watchful eye. Imagine the IRS, and every other government entity, having unfettered access to your entire financial life.

Tax revenue

The lifeblood of a government is nourished by tax revenue. But governments know there are countless taxable dollars falling through the cracks. When all currency can be accounted for electronically, governments will collect tax dollars more efficiently than ever.

Control over the masses

By restricting the public’s ability to access and store currency, governments can keep their citizens on a tight leash. Any dissent or rebellion can be swiftly stifled by seizing funds and freezing accounts. And once a precedent is set, it’s unlikely that many would dare to rise up.

More debt, interest, and fees for megabanks

Global banks thrive off interest from consumer debt and fees from account holders, so snuffing out cash makes good sense for their bottom line. The simple act of a digital currency mandate could generate billions. How You Can Prepare in Case Your “Coined Liberty” Disappears

Fyodor Dostoyevsky once wrote, “Money is coined liberty.” Many of today’s modern thought leaders agree, and they’re sounding the alarm bells on the globalists’ cashless mission.

J.D. Tuccille writes (emphasis ours):

There’s a price for abolishing cash, as you’d expect. In a world without the stuff, “You’d have no choice but to conform to the intermediaries’ automated bureaucracy, giving them a lot of power, and a lot of data about the microtexture of your economic life,” Brett Scott warns at OpenDemocracyUK.

“To eliminate cash is to say to hell with financial privacy,” cautions Conor Friedersdorf at The Atlantic. “An end to cash would mean that every financial transaction is exposed to a third party.”

Cash is “printed freedom,” German economist Lars Feld pithily offered as a direct rebuttal to his Council of Economic Experts colleague. People “should be entitled to an escape from all-out state control,” Deutsche Welle clarified with regard to Feld’s views.

There’s really no argument here. Cash abolitionists fully understand that cash shields individuals from the state—and they hate that protection.

The author listed all the correct “reasons” the elites are spouting to eliminate cash. Allow me to add one more: we are very close to the reign of the Antichrist, and his system will use economic control to enslave the world. Revelation 13.

Yep.

It will be very telling if Trump is on board with this - or he is “taken out” in some way.

With the flip of a switch, a government could completely disenfranchise anyone by preventing him from buying or selling anything in a cashless society. It is the ultimate shape of a managed economy, where only those who toe the line are allowed to engage in commerce.

It is the Mark of the Beast in your wallet instead of branded on your forehead.

You are right on.

Years back, many scoffed at Revelation because they themselves thought it impossible.

Well, now the technology is here now, and the prospect of not ‘buying or selling except with the mark of the beast’ is very real.

It won’t be long now SkyPilot, if you get my meaning.

President Trump could order $500 bills to be reissued.

It was President Nixon who ordered them taken from circulation in 1969.

The author also missed “negative interest rates”. Can’t do that if people can still use cash.

Some aspects of a cashless society would not be very palatable to the elite, I think.

If they removed cash, that would force those who hire illegal aliens to pay the going wage, along with benefits and taxes. That would remove their entire incentive for hiring illegals over Americans. It would also impeded the functions of those businesses that profit from slave labor (i.e. human trafficking). As a result, the elitist push to open the borders to even more illegal aliens (i.e. Democrat voters) would be severely restricted.

As long as the elites benefit by cash, it will not disappear.

The monitoring and surveillance part is what scares people. I don't want every monetary transaction tracked to the point that the government could decide what I could buy and not buy.

Cut off power or network to a rebellious region and they won't be able to buy food.
Freeze assets of political opponents.
Publish purchases made by opponents and their families. Almost certainly something embarrassing somewhere.

I do, and thanks brother. It is encouraging, isn't it?

Some people are falling asleep at the watchman wall now, because we have Trump in power. Believe me, I give praise and thanks to God for Trump every day. When Obama was on his reign of terror, it was more natural for Christian to look up.

I believe, in my heart and spirit, that one of God's purposes to be fulfilled through Trump is to protect Israel, and for her enemies to be provoked.

When the world and when ugly Islam raises their hand against Israel, God will strike them.

Jesus said that "as in the days of Noah"....would He come. I believe, given his precise language, that He was talking about the Rapture of the church.

"37 As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; 39 and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. 40 Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. 41 Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left. 42 “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.

Matthew 24: 37 - 42

And if we are taken, I also believe that Trump and Pence will be lifted up as well. Rev. Franklin Graham said, unequivocbly, that Trump gave his heart to Christ in 2013. I believe him. I also believe that Pence is a Christian.

Franklin Graham Claims Trump Gave His Heart To Christ At Billy Graham’s 95th Birthday Party

There are several other news links to this story as well.

If these two men are Raptured, guess who that leaves in charge? A one-world, two faced, globalist.

How do we know Ryan is a globalist? Former Rep. Michele Bachmann, who knows Ryan very well and worked next to him for years, said so on Janet Markell's radio program.

It’s just “Operation Chokepoint” on steroids...

If you don’t recall, OC was an illegal and immoral attempt by Barky and Holder to shut down businesses and industries with which he didn’t approve.

Simply the federal government threatening the banks and credit card companies that services those companies, and all of a sudden they can’t do business.

It’s a wonderful way to shut down legal enterprises without having to use the rule of law. So of course Barky used it.

Even to the point of using the FDIC to threaten banks that were used by porn stars, who then shut down their accounts. You may not approve of their line of work, but it’s currently legal, but something that some on government don’t like. What if Holder and Barky had used the same methods to shut down the finances of FR?

Keep your eye on these two soulless globalists too. The Church of Jesus Christ will be gone and the empty void will be filled by globalists hell bent on Satanic Worship and the annihilation of anybody not willing to go along with their evil agenda.

You have a point, but once the globalists have us where they want us, it won’t matter anymore. Illegals, terrorism, racial/gender division are all a ploy to get Americans to accept - even desire - the New World Order.

Power, wealth, total control of the people, depopulation is the end game for these people.

If you have cash you can buy stuf big brother doesnt know about.

If you have cash big brother cant freeze your ability to buy goods and services.

If you have cash big brother cant charge you negative interest rates for just letting your money sit in your accounts.

This is exactly why.

Was it 30 years to process? No offense, but I had $500 and $1000 bills in my wallet in the mid-1990’s (much much different today where I rarely see a $5 bill).

And if it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived....if it were possible.

But many will be deceived who have not done their reading nor their homework.
