Vaccine Passports are one thing. We have seen how a totalitarian government could use them as we watched the ChiComs restrict the movement of their dissident citizens using it. They would undoubtedly do that here. No doubt. As currently implemented in Communist China, this affects your ability to cross a province or even city line, use public transportation, or check into a hotel. They used it to keep people from being able to go to demonstrations about their life savings eaten and lost by their completely hosed real estate sector, they only place they are allowed to actually invest, which many people did.
Another part of it is that using the Vaccine Passport, they could easily link that to your bank account in a heartbeat even without a digital currency. They link to it and then to your bank accounts, and you have to have enough cash on hand all the time. With a digital currency, they just put the stop on you period, turning off the valve at the source. So you can't buy food. Can't check into a hotel. Can’t fix a flat tire. You can't buy anything. You won't be able to disappear. And you won't be able to go anywhere without being watched.
It is going to be interesting and depressing, to watch how they present digital currency to the public. These are the things they will say:
‹LI›All this will be done with an electronic networking/communication digital device (Digi-Vice) issued by the government at no charge to you, instantly replaceable if you ever lose it, at no charge! No insurance plan will be necessary. No liability for losing or damaging it. You get an additional Digi-Vice handed to you simply for the asking. The FBI will take care of disabling and finding the old one. You won't have to carry around a cell phone for communication. It can verbally guide you to a destination. If you need a screen for some reason, you can purchase a flexible polymer screen you can integrate. It is actually feather-lite, can be crumpled up and stuffed in a pocket, and restored with a sweep of the hand to perfect, un-marred high-resolution flatness.
They will make this so attractive to their target audience (people who are accustomed to being habitually electronically connected 24 hours a day, seven days a week) that vast swaths of people will break down brick walls to voluntarily get this deadly threat to their liberty. This is what they are aiming for.
That part will be like selling heroin to heroin-addicts.
At this point, they despotic government have one of the most effective wedges ever invented to drive between people.
It will be more effective than religion. It will be more effective than education. It will be more effective than class. It will be more effective than simply having money. It will be more effective than skin color.
It will be more of a wedge than money, because it is total control of money.
Digital Currency is EVIL.
Toss in the awesome “15 minute” city concept and BOOM!
“Digital currency is pure, unadulterated evil. There are no ifs, ands, or buts about it.”
News alert!! Digital currency has been around for a long time and I’m sure you use it all the time.
The money you have in a bank is just a number in a data base - it’s not a pile of physical cash held by the bank. And when you make a payment of say $100 all they do is subtract 100 from your number in that data base and add 100 to the number of whoever you’re making the payment to.
There is no transfer of physical cash.
The amount of business done with cash nowdays is miniscule compared to that with digital.
“Your workplace can identify you so that you won’t have to carry or swipe cards.”
And just like the vaccine-mandate tyranny that some companies inflicted on their workers... some companies will require you to have that chip to qualify for employment. It will start out as a few companies requiring the chip, but will morph into all of them requiring it. You don’t get hired if you don’t comply....especially for government jobs. Then... once all the companies are “woke”... you won’t be deemed eligible for welfare if you don’t get chipped. By then I figure the anti-christ will have made his appearance and will begin to demand total compliance. Hence, the Mark of the Beast will have successfully, finally, been launched.
