We Are About to Witness a MAJOR Move Toward a Cashless Society

End Of The American Dream ^ | December 11, 2022 | MICHAEL SNYDER

[george76]

The war on cash has just gone to an entirely new level. When I heard that the European Union was planning to completely ban all cash transactions above 10,000 euros, I had a hard time believing it. There are so many wild rumors flying around on the Internet these days, and so I wasn’t going to write about this unless I could confirm it. Unfortunately, this particular rumor is quite real. Under the pretext of fighting “money laundering and terrorist financing”, the European Union will be entirely outlawing all cash payments greater than 10,000 euros. The following comes from the official website of the Council of the European Union…

By limiting large cash payments, the EU will make it harder for criminals to launder dirty money. An EU-wide maximum limit of €10.000 is set for cash payments. Member states will have the flexibility to impose a lower maximum limit if they wish.

So this means that in some countries the upper limit could potentially be a lot lower than 10,000 euros.

But instead of framing it as a major move toward a cashless society, the EU is trying to claim that this is all about fighting terrorists.

The following is what Zbyněk Stanjura, the Minister for Finance in the Czech Republic, has said about this upcoming change…

The economy is tanking and a “Digital Dollar” is in the works. Don’t procrastinate. Move wealth and retirement funds to physical precious metals and/or a self-directed IRA with America First companies who aren’t helping Democrats, the WEF, or the CCP. Here are three such companies who can help you immediately. Terrorists and those who finance them are not welcome in Europe. In order to launder dirty money, criminal individuals and organisations had to look for loopholes in our existing rules which are already quite strict. But our intention is to close these loopholes further, and to apply even stricter rules in all EU member states. Large cash payments beyond €10.000 will become impossible. Trying to stay anonymous when buying or selling crypto-assets will become much more difficult. Hiding behind multiple layers of ownership of companies won’t work any more. It will even become difficult to launder dirty money via jewellers or goldsmiths.

Meanwhile, the European Central Bank has been actively considering the possibility of introducing a “digital euro”. The following comes from the official website of the European Central Bank…

We are working with the national central banks of the euro area to investigate whether to introduce a digital euro. It would be a central bank digital currency, an electronic equivalent to cash. And it would complement banknotes and coins, giving people an additional choice about how to pay.

Well isn’t that convenient?

As they take cash away from the general population, it turns out that they have already been working on the replacement.

Incredibly, the ECB even has the gall to claim that this new digital currency will be “like cash”…

A digital euro would offer an electronic means of payment that anyone could use in the euro area. It would be secure and user-friendly, like cash is today. As central bank money issued by the ECB, it would be different from “private money”, but you could also use a card or a phone app to pay with digital euro.

Yes, you will be able to spend it just like you can spend cash.

But unlike cash, a digital euro will allow authorities to track whatever you buy and sell with it.

Won’t that be wonderful?

By the way, the Federal Reserve is currently working on a digital currency as well.

When the food crisis hits, they’ll launch government breadlines. Proteins will run low by design, so the breadlines will be replaced by cricketlines. If you won’t be eating cricket, stock up on organic, freeze-dried chicken from Prepper Organics. Use Promo Code “JDR” at checkout for $50 off.

And this is all happening as the private cryptocurrency industry is imploding all around us.

Many had believed that decentralized cryptocurrencies would be the future of commerce, but global central banks were never going to allow that to happen.

Instead, it appears that they intend to force all of us on to a cashless grid in which everyone uses digital currencies that are issued by them.

Needless to say, a lot of people out there are quite wary of any moves toward a cashless society because they believe that it is part of the “end times” scenario described in the Bible. According to one recent survey, approximately 39 percent of all Americans are convinced that we are living in the “end times” right now…

Nearly two in five Americans, including half of self-identified Christians and a quarter of the religiously unaffiliated, agree “we are living in the End Times,” a new study has found.

That’s about 39% of Americans who believe we are living in the End Times, according to Pew Research, highlighted by Lifeway Research.

Other surveys have come up with similar results.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise to any of us, because global events have definitely started to spin out of control in recent years. At this point, even secular websites are publishing articles about the surging popularity of “apocalyptic scenarios”…

There’s no denying that the apocalypse is currently having a moment, culturally and politically. It could be driven partly by the pandemic and fears of climate change. Those are actual, frightening apocalyptic scourges. Russia’s war has also set off alarm bells for certain evangelicals, as there was a Cold War tradition of identifying the country, variably, with Gog or Magog.

Seeing Slate discuss such things made me chuckle.

But this is where we are.

Just about every day, more crazy things take place that have literally never happened before. For example, I came across the following story earlier today…

For past 12 months, scientists have been studying a 50-second burst of energy from over a billion light-years away that could change how we understand how stars live and die.

In December 2021, a massive blast of energy hit the Earth’s atmosphere. Its source was a gamma-ray burst – one of the most powerful explosions in the universe – but not just any gamma ray burst.

One scientist said at the time that the event – named GRB 211211A – “looks unlike anything else we have seen before”.

As time rolls along, things are only going to get even more weird.

If you have been waiting for life to “return to normal”, you can stop right now.

It simply is not going to happen, and I believe that global events will accelerate even more during the early stages of 2023.

The biggest problem would be issuing wallets to people. Based on what I’ve seen of those in Congress, they will be fumbling with their phones like fools trying to pay someone.

[SaveFerris]

Heh wouldn’t surprise me if the world was nearing the mid-point there lol

Dunno

Keep those prayers coming and keep looking up!

[SaveFerris]

[They’re here.

Now.]

Indeed they are.

It’s even shocking me.

I just watched Laura Ingraham a little bit last night and saw the segment she did about that Twitter dude. Yikes.

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

And, it isn't going to be Global Warming the sheep will be worried about.

Correct

[DoughtyOne]

Yeah, along those lines alright.

[Disambiguator]

The premium is for the “package.”

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks. I find the internet to be an excellent tool for
reaching out. Good job...

[SaveFerris]

It will be a different kind of "Global Warming" at Armageddon - IF anyone in the 7-year Tribulation can survive refusing the Mark of the Beast (Revelation 20:4 - but they live FOREVER!! Woohoo!!) - Frankly I'll be surprised if any Tribulation Saint, other than those at Petra, are still alive at the end of the 7 years.

2 Peter 3:10-12

King James Version

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

----------------------------

I imagine the world's armies, under the Beast, will attempt to use nuclear weapons against Jesus Christ when He comes - He will say the Word and it will all be over.

What is/would/ be the difference between my current use of my main credit card or my wife's?

~~~

Fair question!
...nothing

HOWEVER...
ALL of those transactions are cataloged, recorded and saved forever.
On the face it, not a problem, so long as the card use knows that all of the transactions are tracked, cataloged, monitored ad available for whatever purpose various institutions desire. If you're OK with this, still not a problem.

BUT, let's look at another “we gather your information” scenario that nearly everyone is participating in, namely cell phone meta data.

Currently, cell phones continuously ping cell towers, even if their GPS is off. Even with the GPS off, your triangulation data as your phone pings the towers is accurate to within nearly 25 feet. So FAR, still not a problem and most/many don't concern themselves with this. But the meta data collected lets their algorithms paint a picture that many may not like. It is known where you go, how ofter, what frequency/schedule/dates/times how much time your spend there, who else is there (after all, their phones are giving the same meta data). It is known when you get a haircut, whne you grocery shop, when you're at the bar ad for how long, who you sicialize with, etc, ad nauseum. Our while lives are known just becaues of the phone we carry. Using the credit card only adds to the meta data. Remember the J6 meta data? They found everyone quickly.

SO, putting it together, while currently the use of a credit card isn't a real problem to most/many, things could change quickly.

With a CBDC EVERY transaction is now included along WITH your phone meta data. While you may be OK with all this, what happens when “people like you” (WHATEVER that may mean) are “deemed” to be outlaws, insurrestionsists, domestic terrorists _fill in the blank_?

The CBDC is an escalation of invasion into tracking every minuscule aspect of our lives, on top of cell phone meta data (oh, LOOK THERE! Dave attends a church regularly and that pastor spoke out against the government AND Dave bought a gun and he bought freeze dried food and he bought ammo and he bought seeds, soil, fertilizer and he...

So, while we already give WAY too much data to the evil machine, CDBC is another dramatic escalation of the privacy we lose. One day, all this data WILL BE used against ordinary citizens and it will be ugly.

“OF course I don't mind if you search my car, my house, my person...after all, “I HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE” many will say.
But they won't be asking, or telling you, they'll know it all already.

This is a further encroachment on our right to be secure in our possessions and papers, but yet, most go willingly.
“Gotta have that app...even though it's real profit is selling your meta data.
“GOTTA have alexa, gulag voice, apple watch, even though they are each listening all the time to what is said around them.
“Gotta have my cell phone all the time” even though everyone participating is being tracked in real time, along with NUMEROUS apps...not to mention the nefarious way a cell phone can be hacked to listen to ambient conversations and even record video when the phone is not in a call and even while the phone is OFF, while the user is unaware,

So, while many are willing to trade a little convenience, a little bit of privacy, a little bit of security because they “have nothing to hide”. this only because they are not on the tyrant's list of evil people. But that list is subject to change at any instant, WITH ANY CHANGE OF GOVERNMENT TYRANTS and MR./Mrs. normal are INSTANLY enemies of the state to be dealt with as desired.

Bottom line, it is a clear infringement of privacy.

TODAY, maybe not a problem.
Digital data is forever.
It never goes away.

TOMORROW?
You may find your front door smashed in with a no knock raid because you are deemed an enemy of the state.

Each must determine their own level of privacy for themselves. One may choose for the sake of privacy to not carry/own a cell phone, but there will be no enjoying your privacy with CBDC.

I must have missed something...what is “the package”

[SaveFerris]

Thanks - 👍👍👍 - unjust servant that I am, I try to get an hundredfold - or better - at least if I can continue to work while it is still daytime.

Night comes when no man can work.

[DoughtyOne]

I hear ya.

[SaveFerris]

Matthew 13:8
King James Version

8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

(Jesus speaking)

John 9:4
King James Version

4 I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

[SaveFerris]

I can only hope (and pray and hope that others pray also) that the images and the Scriptures I post on FR are SHARED ALL OVER the Earth by lurkers and friends of lurkers - I hope and pray that all of it, Scriptures and images with Scripture (like the above) are SO WIDESPREAD over the face of the Earth that there’s almost no way to completely shut it down - even may come down to people printing the image on paper and handing paper copies out to others.

The godless reprobate Globalists have made their intentions, their godless plots, their heinous plans (like disrupting the food supply in multiple places) known.

With our digital age, it should be clear to everyone that there will be no escaping a digital “currency” - the Covid va666ine stigma, passports and eventually digital marking -—> all leading to the Mark of the Beast.

The time is at hand - it has been building but the insanity is truly over the top, of late.

[DoughtyOne]

I agree.

[Mama Shawna]

Bkmk. That was an epic explanation. I will be using it, if you don’t mind.

[Disambiguator]

The format that it’s in. You know, the Goldback thing. It costs money to manufacture those.

[SheepWhisperer]

for the sake of argument (and I have no desire to be combative here), why would this be a good purchase, when a person can simply buy known gold coins, such as eagles, with a mere ~25% premium, instead of over 200% premium? Forgery/quality assurance?

Yes, an honest question here.

[SheepWhisperer]

Pardon the smell check failures.
Phat finger guy, on my phone =o)

Use to awaken, as may be useful =o)

Interesting thread here too (P.S. Ignore the MSM title running cover for what they really plan to do):
