Norway Is Tracking What Everyone Buys, And Biden Wants To Follow Suit In The United States
The Federalist ^ | 6/30/22 | Justin Haskins

Posted on 07/01/2022 4:27:50 PM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

A report published at the end of May by NRK, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, notes that the official statistics bureau of Norway will soon track most grocery store purchases made in the Scandinavian country, a development that should serve as a warning to Americans about the growing trend in Western nations to expand surveillance and tracking of everyday citizens.

In an article titled “Statistics Norway demands to know exactly what Norwegians buy in the grocery store,” reporter Martin Gundersen wrote that Statistics Norway has “ordered the grocery chains NorgesGruppen, Coop, Bunnpris and Rema 1000 to share all their receipt data with the statistical agency.” Gundersen further reports that Nets, a payment service provider that processes about 80 percent of all in-store payments, “has also been required to share detailed information on all transactions.”

Statistics Norway, “the national statistical institute of Norway and the main producer of official statistics” for the country’s government, has said, as part of its new mandate, the agency will collect all customer transaction dates, card services information, user location number, user location name, account numbers, and other relevant information related to each grocery transaction.

The last census form had waaaay too many questions that were more a favor to big biz than of any use to the FedGov.

Our so-called privacy is for sale to the highest bidder.

Statistics Norway says the justification for gathering the massive amount of data is so government can better improve its social welfare programs and properly adjust tax policies, among other goals.


and the other goals........................

Pay with cash

And don't use the rewards card. They already have the database of every purchase. From that they can probably cross reference to your credit card. Which always kind of annoyed me - if they have my CC number why do they need my rewards card number?

Oops... I didn’t make it clear what I was objecting to. The article says that apparently in March, Biden approved directing federal agencies to study creating a digital currency, which would give the government the ability to track all purchases by anyone. AIEEEEEE!!!!

Once the digital currency is established, and it will be, there will be a period where the government does no harm. That is to ensure it is working as intended and to further acceptance. Once those goals are met, they will absolutely eliminate cash. At that point, the evil in government will take over and also eliminate freedom. It is near impossible to be a free person if one cannot transact anonymously. Barter only goes so far.

We really are being manipulated into transitioning from free individuals into farmed and closely monitored farm animals.

Of course, it’s theoretically possible to design a digital currency that isn’t programmable nor traceable, but the Biden administration has already acknowledged that its plan for a digital dollar, assuming it does formally propose one, would ensure that the new currency is designed for “financial inclusion and equity” and to battle “climate change and pollution,” all of which would require programmability.

The White House has also promised to “continue to partner with all stakeholders — including industry, labor, consumer, and environmental groups, international allies and partners” in developing the new currency, yet another sign that the currency would be programmable. (There would be little reason to consult lobbyists, environmentalists, and other “stakeholders” if Biden were planning the development of a truly neutral, nontraceable digital currency.)

The White House has further said its digital asset policies must prioritize eliminating the use of digital assets by criminal organizations, another goal that could never be achieved unless the planned digital currency is traceable.


Such criminal organizations could adopt different forms of "currency" in weeks which would in turn be adopted by spook government orgs just as they have their black opps accounts right now. In a matter of months the entire "central bank digital currency" project would have been completely circumvented.

Of course fed.gov could not care less about "criminal organizations" as their real intent is to control the general population.

The Deep state is worldwide. Notice how already te US. UK and EU all walk in lockstep. They are already operating under their NWO or Liberal World Order and people just aren’t seeing it yet.

That is why out despicable rulers want to eliminate cash.

And they're doing it, too -- with inflation. One dollar in 1960 is the equivalent of about twelve dollars today. That means that the largest denomination bill today ($100) is worth about eight 1960-dollars.

In 1960, the largest denomination bill was $1000. So the largest denomination bill has shrunk from $1000 1960-dollars to $8 1960-dollars.

End of the first stage:

End of the second stage:
