Cashless Payments Only Becoming More Common

You do seem to make up a lot of scenarios without researching first.

You do seem to make up a lot of scenarios without researching first.

You do seem to comment as if because you say so it is,but provide no supporting information to back it up.

You cannot dispute the facts I used as a basis,because they happened,maybe do a little research first yourself.

[southen]

Correct. I cannot offer up supporting information to dispute your made up scenario. Just like I don't counter other works of fiction because what has been typed out exists solely in that author's head. I can however say it's stupid and that I wonder what productive things you could be doing instead of sitting around paranoid about imaginary crises.

All you are doing is projecting your lack of understanding on to me as if I am to blame for your shortfalls.

People get paid every day to run scenarios across a wide spectrum when it comes to national security.

Guess what,people got paid to run a scenario of what would happen if a major pandemic hit worldwide,that was an imaginary crisis,until it was not.

I find it no surprise that the ones that support the governments or even a random hackers ability to use your financials against you as a means of oppression or control of those you oppose as an exciting thought,but do not forget,you are also opposition to somebody so the very tools that you support can also be used against you.

You can deny all you want,you can divert the topic to me personally but the one thing you cannot change was the facts that I used as a template because they already happened and it was not an imaginary crises.

An imaginary crisis was used to gain support in order to use those tools and it was proven,a majority of citizens are willing to give up their rights easily if it fits their narrative at that point in time.

One could say that scenario was implemented and tested and in the future it is already known what the results will be.

Canada is in good company though,The French pre-surrendered to the Chinese no different then Canada pre-surrenderd to Russia out of fear of future actions,or at least sent the message to both China and Russia that they have the ability to have iron fist control over their population should the need arise.

So both France and Canada have also run the scenario of what they would need to do should they not have the support of the U.S. should a crisis arise and the steps they would need to take in order to fit into and comply with the choices they make.

That was one of the first steps China took against the opposition when they took over control of Hong Kong and started dismantling democracy there,froze thier bank accounts and locked down any money transfers out of the country.

They even locked down HSBC.

The goal is to know how to deal with a crisis before it happens,trying to figure out how to deal with it after it already happened is a bit counter productive.

This topic is the worst,because it is about something that you can have both ways,cash and cashless.

Those paying in cash are taking no skin off of the back of those who are paying with digital funds and those paying with digital are taking no skin off the backs of those paying with cash.

So the question is,why the push to become cashless and who does it benefit and who pays the biggest price when it goes wrong ?

It definitely benefits the banks because they were able to lay off over 50% of their work force without a reduction in revenue,Kinda make you wonder how convenient those who were laid off found digital banking in a cashless society,to them it translated into standing in the unemployment line.

Remove a populations ability to defend themselves,have control over their finances and if they will be able to eat from one day to the next and you have a compliant population.

Its not an imaginary crisis,it’s the playbook that has been used by every dictatorship in history,but you already knew that and thats why you support anything that would help that agenda,otherwise you would not be going at me personally because in your mind my post poses a threat and millions are going to read it and take heed and it will become a torn in the socialist/progressive agendas side.

The thing you fail to understand is you will not be in some kind of protected class of supporters,you will be suffering right along side of everybody else because only the ones at the top will benefit from the path you forged for them.

That is also embedded in history.

You can tell membership to the SP is free,even a monkey can join because there is no thought required.

Funny how none of you can dispute what I am saying so your only recourse is to revert back to the embryo stage.

Your way of thinking has left cities destroyed across the country,but it is everybody else that is the problem.

Why is Canada so bent on appeasing Russia and helping them by justifying their methods?

So the next logical step,sense Canada has shown Russia they are buddy buddy would be for Canada to integrate with Russia,they seem to share the same values willingness and abilities to do what ever it takes to control their population.

You wake up tomorrow and Canada is now a vessel state of Russia,you go to the neighborhood store to get a cup of coffee,hand them a Canadian bill and they have you not heard ?

The Canadian currency is now in rubles,the only way you can excess them is through digital transactions and it took them less then 5 minutes to implement that while you were still sleeping.

Russia dumps the Canadian government as the next step and installs their own regime,1 day later.

…….

The 2 things that protect this country from opposing forces of evil is cash and guns,but yet some are hell bent on eliminating both,wonder why?

Everything is Okay Richard. Canada means you no harm. Nobody is going to take your Cash away. Nobody is coming to take your Guns. I will leave this here for you to think about.

Are you sure about that?

Among other important actions, the White House executive order directs several federal agencies, including the Treasury Department, to study the development of a new central bank digital currency [[CBDC) and to produce a report within 180 days of the EO discussing the potential risks and benefits of a digital dollar.

The order further directs the Treasury Department, Office of the Attorney General and Federal Reserve to work together to produce a “legislative proposal” to create a digital currency within 210 days, about seven months.

For example, a digital dollar could be crafted to restrict fossil-fuel use, to give bonuses to people for spending at particular businesses, to enact de facto price controls by disallowing users from spending too much on particular products, or even to redistribute wealth.

Imagine a programable digital currency that can be used to regulate what you may or may not purchase.

No they may not take the guns but with programmable currency,they can forbid ammunition to be purchased with it.

Want to force people into driving EVs ,simple enough with government controlled programable currency,you will only be able to purchase 5 gallons a week of gasoline in order to save the climate from climate change.

You know how California has that warning on every product that tells you it may cause cancer,simple enough with programable currency ,they can simply block any purchases of those products that they deem harmful to your health,alcohol and tobacco,weed or any other product of their choosing.

I will bet you did not know the government already has a program for high profile criminals,in exchange for a guilty plea they promise not to shut down your families ability to do any financial transactions,not only you direct family,but every relative or friend even closely related to the suspect.

That means none of those people can get a job,rent an apartment,fly in an airplane,use public transportation,have utilities in their name it becomes illegal for them to partake in any financial transaction.

Its a financial blacklist similar to a no fly list,they have had that program since 1991.

Now imagine what they can do with a government controlled digital dollar system,you will not have to worry about toilet paper in the next pandemic,with a few keystrokes they can just block the purchase or limit you to one roll at a time.

It will be the government deciding what you can and cannot purchase,at what quantity and when.

You say nobody is going to take your cash away,the reality is they are a few years ahead of you in figuring out exactly how to do that.

If you pay attention world affairs,many countries are looking to remove the U.S. dollar as the standard now instead of later for exactly that reason.

What do you think that is going to do to trade ?

I do not worry about Canada,they have way bigger fish to fry.

We have enough resources,farm land,and reserves to stand on our own and be self sufficient along with one of the largest markets in the world,within ourselves.

All Canada’s going to be to Russia and China is a place in order to rob resources from and suck them dry in the process,they are making their own bed.

90% of the chips that power every electronic device,even appliances and the car you drive and even that machine that reads your bank card,comes from Taiwan,why do you think China is so hell bent on taking it,then you have our allies already pre-surrendering to China.

Canada and France are already placing their bets,and it is not on the U.S.,they are not going to care about past alliances,they are going to do what they feel is best for their countries.

I do not view Canada as a threat,but they are on our border and they are pandering to our enemies and they can be used as a launching pad in the name of self preservation,I just do not trust them anymore,same with France.

Mexico is already in the process of nationalizing their resources and production facilities,what exactly do you think is going to happen to all of those factories that U.S corporations built down there?

Everybody is your friend when you have money,but as soon as you stop giving it out or your money has no value to them anymore,allies switch sides really fast.

They do not need to come after our cash or guns,they will just make cash irrelevant and worthless and having all the guns in the world is pointless if you cannot purchase ammunition for them.

The only good side of it all is it will be like prohibition was and open up new paths of opportunity in the underworld and black market.

Just like the whole thing with legalization of weed,the sales of illegal weed has increased and in California the illegal weed market is now controlled by the Mexican mafia and has become even more violent.

Under a federalized digital currency that controls what you can purchase and sense weed is not legal in the eyes of the federal government how exactly do people think they are going to be able to purchase it in the future anyways?

As soon as you make one purchase in a weed shop with your digital currency a red flag will pop up and your accounts will be immediately shut down until they can investigate it.

Some of you are interested in me personally,I know how to survive operating in the grey areas and pretty adapt at making lemonade out of lemons,it’s the ones that currently find the whole process convenient the same process that is getting ready to control every aspect of your life,for people like me it just opens up more and higher profitable revenue streams.

If you like to partake in a little spirits on occasion,now is about the time you might want to take a second look at those hillbillies that you looked down on all of these years,they make some good shine,to bad you will not have any cash to buy it,because it was inconvenient to have around,at this point in time.

They will not collect all of the cash and burn it,it will be just like with drugs,they will not eliminate it because it pumps billions into the economy,so like drugs they will just make it illegal to trade with while people will still trade with it.

Are you sure about that?

The Hill is fake news written by neo-Nazis. And TLDR.

Justin Haskins [[Jhaskins@heartland.org) is the director of the Socialism Research Center at The Heartland Institute and the co-author of the New York Times bestselling book “The Great Reset: Joe Biden and the Rise of Twenty-First Century Fascism.”

well how about you show a little incentive and search for yourself.

Here I will help you,and be the better person,nice guy that I am ,and I will also understand if you find White House press releases as fake news also.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/03/09/fact-sheet-president-biden-to-sign-executive-order-on-ensuring-responsible-innovation-in-digital-assets/

I like this part especially even better if somebody can explain how spending cash has a negative impact on the climate.

• Support Technological Advances and Ensure Responsible Development and Use of Digital Assets by directing the U.S. Government to take concrete steps to study and support technological advances in the responsible development, design, and implementation of digital asset systems while prioritizing privacy, security, combating illicit exploitation, and reducing negative climate impacts.

Unless they say - you do not need that case of pop this month or that new couch,after you install your solar panels we will look at allowing you to spend your money on luxury items and will free up your financials in order to allow you to do so.

I have also decided to identify as “Invisible” which would make me a transparent,I would expect people in the future to address me with my proper pronouns and just refer to me as,Glass.

I know about CBDC and there's nothing to worry about. It's the "you should be very worried" part that is the fake news. Sane people aren't afraid of CBDC. If you're feeling scared:
