Denmark officially kills the check
TheLocal.dk ^ | 29 December 2016 10:43 CET+01:00

In a country where even the smallest purchases are routinely carried out with the national debit card, Dankort, and people increasingly use smartphone payment systems like the incredibly popular MobilePay, writing a check seems hopelessly outdated.

The nation’s banks agree and as of January 1st, it will no longer be possible to cash checks from other banks in Denmark. The only option that will remain is to cash a check written by the same bank that issued them, a move that essentially means the total end of they payment form. …

Taking away control of money from the people. Cash will be next. Certainly prophesied to happen and will spread to other parts of the world. You control the purchasing ability of individuals, you control the people.

This is exactly what I think their ultimate motives are. There may be legitimate practical and business reasons for doing away with checks and physical currencies, but let us not forget that this gives enormous power of control to people who rule us.

Let your assets be numbers in computers under the control of the government, and you can be rendered a pauper in an instant, and for whatever reason they see fit.

This is a very dangerous thing and we should oppose it in every manner we are able.

So then, if we want financial privacy, and keep away from government oversight and snooping, should we invest in bitcoin? If enough people want to go around these governmental financial plans, will bitcoin become a prominent alternate form of money?

I trust bitcoin not at all.

True story.

The former Pastor of my church (who retired two years ago) set up an Online Donation fund and began encouraging parishoners to begin making their weekly donations online.

Part of his thinking was that this would reduce the expense of having to mail out envelopes and process checks for deposit. It would also bring in a few more dollars perhaps from those who don’t attend church regularly.

After an audit from the Diocese the new pastor has announced that they are dropping the Online Donation plan and are asking everyone to go back to writing physical checks and putting them in the collection basket on Sunday.

The reason? The bank that was processing all of the online donations was charging a 5% fee.....$50 on every $1000 donated. You can print and mail a lotta envelopes for that!

This is the second story about Denmark that i’ve seen you post in as many days. Do you have a connection to Denmark?

Once an Italian, a Polish person and Czechoslovakian went camping.
While they were sleeping two giant bears came and ate them all. The
rangers came and found the torn up camp site. Then they saw the bears.
They shot the bears and cut open the female. In the bear they found the
Italian and the Polish person. One ranger said to the other “where’s the Czechosolvakian?” The other ranger said: “the Czech’s in the male.”

You control the purchasing ability of individuals, you control the people.

It's a clever trick, isn't it? Eliminate cash so that everyone's transactions can be traced. Enact negative interest rates once there's no more cash so that people MUST put their money into the market or any extra money that could go to savings will dissipate. Then enact mandatory auto-payment of all debts to remove your ability to pay according to your own schedule. And you will have debts because John Roberts deemed involuntary commerce (first obamacare, next cable/cell phone service/public transportation) Constitutional. Nice way to box people in. All your labor will be looted ahead of time, just to keep you in check. Virtual slavery.

I’m sorry, I was talking about wholesale business to business transactions. I doubt these rule changes will affect the retail situation much, as I’d doubt that many checks have been written in the last year in Denmark for retail transactions.

I’ve helped several churches set up EBT donations, people make their donations directly from their checking account, and the processing fee was about 50 cents per transaction. That’s a great option; anything that uses a credit card you’re going to be paying a lot both in transaction fees, batch fees and the percentage.

Ah, Gotcha. Yeah. It's 1s and 0s these days for most things.

"The world is running to 'the Mark of the Beast'."

Amen, I am so very thankful that at least some on FR recognize this Satanic world-wide "going to a 'paperless', 'cash-less', government controlled, system/society" for exactly what it is:

It is ultimately all about one thing: C O N T R O L OVER EVERY AREA, OF EVERYONE'S LIVES. This is ALL taking place in preparation for the coming "man of sin", The Anti-christ and is leading up to the direct fulfillment of the prophecy found in Revelation 13:16 - 18!

First they started removing high numbered bills from circulation, then they remove the most commonly used monitory denomination notes from circulation; at the same time banks are monitoring and reporting ALL large dollar cash deposits and limiting the amount of cash, "hard currency" their clients are allowed to remove from their own accounts. And now whole countries are doing away with allowing their citizens to pay for any transaction, payment or purchase by check!

The whole world is running at break-neck speed to create the perfect conditions for the implementation of the Mark of the Beast and many don't have a clue.

I thank God for the Christians who believe the Word of God and take this prophecy literally. From everything I have read, the technology for implementing the Mark of the Beast already exists in a number of different forms. For well over a decade a number companies have been actively pursuing the perfection, patening, marketing and "public acceptance" of the technology and the concept of "going cashless". Their marketing and "independent surveys" have consistently shown that the only thing standing in the way that has prevented them from implementing it thus far are Christians!

They continually reject it and vocally say they refuse to use it or to even allow themselves, their friends and loved ones to be "beta test subjects" specifically because Christians view their technologies as either a precursor to or the actual technology of the Mark of the Beast! We know exactly what will happen to this technology once Christians are removed from the equation after being "caught up to meet Jesus 'in the air'".

Until that blessed event takes place believers must continue to bear witness to the Lord Jesus Christ, and be "salt and light" in this dying culture and world.

It becomes more and more obvious why the Elites want us to surrender our firearms. See Tagline.

Absolutely. Also, it works better in emasculated Europe to take away rights than it does here...for the time being.
