Sweden is now going against cashless agenda.
Citizen Watch Report ^

Posted on 01/21/2024 8:03:31 PM PST by davikkm

Isn’t it interesting how Sweden’s doing a bit of a U-turn? I mean, who would’ve thought the right-wing government there would be all for keeping physical cash alive and kicking?

So, get this – they’re not just talking about it; they’re considering making shops accept cash, going against the whole global trend of going cashless. It’s like they’re saying, “Hold on, we still want the option to use good old-fashioned bills and coins, thank you very much.”

We had all better before it’s too late. It’s all about them having complete control over us.

Sweden can go cashless. Sweden can be cash-and-carry only. That’s a minor point. What matters is who will win the coming conflict between the native Swedes and the Muslim invaders.

Side story: About six months ago I talked to an American guy who had moved with his family to Sweden. He was there for business purposes. He recently moved his family back to America. Sweden was too dangerous.

This scenario can happen because it happened at the town fair last year:

The WiFi signal was down and they couldn’t accept cards. People had to go to the ATM to get cash. When the ATM went dry they had to leave, go to an outside ATM and come back.

Always carry cash, especially if you are at an event like a fair, in a remote town, at the beach, etc. where cards may not work.

Dumb move Sweden, especially for a country so sparsely populated with cold and often stormy winter weather.

So...are people in the government merely stupid, actively evil, or both?

It’s nice to see Sweden 🇸🇪 showing some common sense.

[Sweden was too dangerous.]

That is a shame. The Western World is destroying itself with 3rd-world invaders.

Unfortunately, a lot of retailers are forced to go cashless in order to minimize the chance of getting robbed.

When the counties start providing sufficient police protection and criminal punishment then I'll get upset about cashless businesses.

You can't control the masses, completely, if they have CASH.

Therefore, expect all governments to eventually eliminate cash and go 100% Digital Currency - your credit card, your debit card, your direct deposit, your cards / bank account tied to your cellphone .... OR .... your palm-print (here come the Amazon One pics - ALREADY in use. It is training the people to use their hands to pay. Now, fingerprint has also been used in conjunction with checkouts and RFID-scanned checkouts. These systems have been deployed (now) for years. It's only going to grown, IMHO.

Amazon One - Palm-print scanner - It is not the Mark of the Beast - just a precursor; a warm-up; a dress rehearsal

Pay with your hand - Forerunner to the coming Mark of the Beast (Revelation 13)


Using one's hands to pay for food. A boxed "convenience store" (Hudson Nonstop, LAX airport, Dallas Love Field airport), to Arbor Trails Whole Foods (Austin, Texas), to paying for food at Panera Bread, to other Whole Foods stores (owned by Amazon).

Yes, I use Amazon for shopping from time-to-time but this "scan-your-hand-to-pay" is already alive and in operation - no doubt it will continue to expand / grow in acceptance. The conditioning (intentional or unintentional, it will make no difference) has started.

I'm sure the people in the pics think they're showing the latest "cool thing" - possibly mocking and laughing at any reference to the "Mark of the Beast" - this is just a sampling of the pictures I found.

By the time the actual Mark of the Beast, these kinds of payment systems will be fully-embedded in society I think.

Amazon One

The world is not there - YET. But the conditioning, intentional or unintentional - it will make no difference. Fast, easy, secure, convenient. IMHO, cash will be outlawed. Digital Currency 100% will be the future. /Captain Obvious

And a second round of pictures (after the Bible verses):

Acts 2:38
New King James Version

38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+2%3A38&version=NKJV

John 3:17-18
New King James Version

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be Saved.

18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+3%3A17-18&version=NKJV

Romans 10:9-10
New King James Version

9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be Saved.

10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation.

WOW - THANKS for sharing - been expecting such since similar types of systems have already been reported. I'm pinging the group and (of course, posting images with Scripture) telling the world which won't believe the Bible now, but some of them will as we edge closer and closer to the 7-year Tribulation Period.

What happens when the gizmos stop working? When connectivity is down?

What happens when China or Russia launches an EMP attack?

Give the guy or gal at the counter a silver coin and he or she will pocket it and give you what you want.

Cash and (especially) coin are king. This is not going to change.

[What happens when the gizmos stop working? When connectivity is down?]

I agree. People get hungry - Starving people riot (”Soylent Green” market trouble for example)

[Cash and (especially) coin are king. This is not going to change.]

I predict it WILL change. I’m not happy about it - But as the electronic / cell phone / etc. systems keep coming, fewer and fewer will rely on cash.

People of (roughly) our generation and before and after like cash.

The younger generations are being taught differently.

Let’s just see how fast it happens.

Again, I am NOT happy to see it happening - COVID-19(84) showed just how rapidly things can change - WORLDWIDE.

God bless.

Yep - I’ve yet to see one in person but I don’t get out shopping much other than the local grocery store, WalMart and the gas station(s).

Due to my limited income, my shopping is much, much less these days, but I do order stuff from Amazon from time-to-time (so yeah, the Amazon One thing at Whole Foods and elsewhere really got my attention).

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a Whole Foods.

I have not been anywhere yet where pay with your hand exists.

The first time I do encounter this, I will be sure to point out to the manager that the only hand they will receive is one of my hands waving some cash, and the other hand waving bye bye.

Maybe it’s back to the barter system.

[I have not been anywhere yet where pay with your hand exists.]

From the examples above, it seems a lot of it, so far, is in mostly liberal areas. That’s how it looks when I look at those pictures.

Where people tend not to read, or specifically ignore ...... the Bible.

Such as Revelation chapter 13, 14 and 20.

I’ll have to try and find an Amazon Whole Foods store or an Amazon Just Walk Out if they’re in my area. Just to see these things in person.
