The cashless life won't be worth living
MarkCrispinMiller ^ | 3/15/22 | Mark Crispin Miller

While they have us freaking out about “Ukraine,” our overlords are moving swiftly to rendition all of us into the global cyber-gulag of a social credit system, enabled by a digital currency doled out (or not) by the central banking system.

This report, from December, 2021, “assess[es] market opportunities for infrastructure support of the social credit market”—i.e., how to make a lot of money helping to set up that cyber-prison. Unless you’re reading it for “market opportunities,” you’re likely to be chilled by its dystopian implications.

One way to start fighting this development is to go back to using cash instead of cards as much as possible—starting with #CashFriday, as urged by Catherine Austin Fitts. This means that, every Friday, we use only cash to buy what we may need: https://home.solari.com/cash-friday/.

Think about what this development portends: No cash will mean no autonomy, as every purchase that you’ll want to make must be approved on high—approval that will be contingent on your social credit score.

socially beneficial outcomes from that, preventing activity which is seen to be socially harmful in some way

Yeah, that doesn't sound anything like a social credit score. /s

Actually no.

It’s game over for most people. Problem is, most people don’t understand that.

I’ll howl at the wind, but God will still sustain me if He pleases.

So. Doesn’t change what I said.

Cashless is NOW. Sorry you don’t understand that but by the time you guys started whining about it it was too late. We were already cashless.

Social currency is related. But different. All your whining about cashless is ALREADY HERE.

Your article is NOT about cashless. It’s about social currency, which is different.

It’s game over.

It was game over 20 years.

Before anybody thought to worry about cashless cash was already dead.

Like so many thing. Cash and privacy both died in the 90s.

Did you see where it said:

“(The whole document costs $2,500 for single readers.)”

Why it’s almost as if they don’t want the document to get out to common folk.

Yeah that’s my problem with cashless/credit system intertwined.

I realize it’s been coming. There’s no way to fight it to be honest.

But a lot of good people are going to suffer massively for it.

You’ll see and you probably know.

And cashless is coming. You just gotta deal. It’s a natural evolution, we always move to the convenient. Yes it has downsides, like all things. But for the majority of the market it’s easier. And that’s why it wins.

Politicians take bribes in cash. Just saying.

The push to cashless got an awakening when the globalists went after the SWIFT system and the Canadians locked out accounts of protesters. The price of precious metals shows the lack of confidence in cashless societies.

From the article:

“Social credit systems represent the ability to identify (mostly people but also some “things”) and track activities for purposes of grading behaviors and applying “social credit” scoring. A given grading/scoring methodology depends largely on social credit system objectives and metrics.”

What do you want to bet I’ll be graded differently than the dude in inner city Detroit that sells loosies?

Cashless is coming. Cashless is basically here. All your whining is pointless.


I don’t know if we are “whining”. I can’t speak for others, but for myself, I share those concerns about financial privacy. Cashless is coming and we have to adapt, but, it doesn’t mean that we don’t have legitimate concerns.

Yes!

I have always wondered about how the bribery and corruption was going to work.

And also crackhead gotta buy his crack. Unless the plan is to go fully on robbin’

Maybe that’s what Klaus meant when he said we’ll own nothing. I was wondering how he was planning on getting muh P220.

Sure. I bought smokes with cash yesterday. I also bought groceries, movie tickets, and 2 meals on a card. I get paid electronically. My bills get paid electronically. I order stuff online electronically. Cash is dead. Sure there’s still the vestiges. Just like with Latin. But all intents and purposes cash ceased to matter 25 years ago. Heck even drug dealers hardly use it anymore.

No they don’t. Politicians take bribes in million dollar campaign donations. No cash.

And cashless is coming. You just gotta deal.

So no more garage sales, swap meets, lemonade stands or Girl Scout cookie sales. And no more collection plates in churches or anonymous donations and tips.

Financial privacy ended in the 90s. Once retail got big enough computers to start using all their data points. The time for legitimate concern was 40 years ago. Now is the time to understand the world you live in and figure out how to deal.

You do know and are aware that both the Internal Revenue Service and the Law Enforcement Agencies, for reasons of their own, have supported a cashless society every since the 1960s at least.>

I got into the habit of using the card but there are some purchases I only use cash for so as to not leave a paper trail.

You do recognize what you listed there was less than 1/10 of 1% of the financial transactions of the world?

Understand, there are vestiges. They will remain for a long time. Think Latin. Think Mayan temples. But just because there’s those vestiges doesn’t mean it ain’t dead.

Our economy runs on 99.9% electronic transactions. Has for a long time.
