One of the most effective means the elite use today to get their way and push a particular agenda is to make it "hip, swinging, and very, very cool." Another way is to simply tell you what is obsolete and "out dated." Who wants to be "behind the times"? Certainly not someone who is looking for the next "really cool" gadget! No, this particular person wants to be on the "cutting edge" of the "next big thing"! Enter the banking cabal and their desire to have total and absolute control of your life through your banking account and your means of transacting business. [..] Another way, and this started many years ago under the guise of "security," is simply not have cash available for transactions at the business itself. I was recently in a store and the cashier informed they did not have change for a $100 bill. It hit me that this has been happening for a great many years, no change for a $100 or $50, and this is one of the ways they can "train" people to go cashless. How do we fight this insidious, ever-encroaching, cashless nightmare? It's very simple. We begin using as much cash as possible. Walk out of the store when they are unable to make change for your $100 or $50 and take your business elsewhere. So good luck with the coming bail-in from your account. The ability to remove your funds from your 401k and IRA is in the process of being taken away from you, it is called a Gate Mechanism. You will no longer be able to actually remove the funds in your account, merely move from one fund to another.

Push for 'cashless society' by closing bank branches (25May15) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-Ai1QhCtQA
That way if you P.O. some “gubermint Offishell” he can turn off your money and you are screwed!
I've done that. One unintended consequence is that I'm spending quite a bit less money.
cash is obsolete
plastic is the way
direct deposit is a blessing
checks are superfluous
money is electronic blips on an electronic ledger....... even $100 bills
Dave Ramsey recommends using cash to spend. I do that as much as possible to keep an eye on my spending. Works.
Have you noticed the push by credit cards and merchants towards “direct pay”? This has an equally sinister purpose, although this one is rooted in human nature.
They have figured out that once you don’t have to lift a finger to pay the bill, you will also get careless about reviewing the bill. They can then add on all sorts of fees and small charges that you will not notice.
Being two completely old fashion people, we have direct pay for NOTHING. My wife reviews the bills every month, and hardly a month goes by that she does not find some odd “WTF is this?” item. A call to the biller gets it removed, along with the obligatory, “have you ever considered direct pay?”
Yes, just as soon as hell freezes over!
I can see them liking this level control as they are doing with energy for the Global warming BS.
Control when and where you can spend “Your money” and it effectively isn’t yours anymore..
Not to mention knowing all your purchases and movements.
a cashless society is a society whose transactions are 100% tracked
it’s also a society whose wealth can be INSTANTLY removed.
For decades ‘the powers to be’ have been pushing for this as a means of tracking and control.
NOW they HAVE to do it just to keep their fiat and ponzi schemes floating for a few more years.
Not to mention the ‘mark of the beast’ prophecy stuff.
(Oops, I mentioned it)
Yes, I recall hearing once from a consumer advocate show that once people get used to paying a monthly fee they go on about like on auto pilot.
I could see that getting much worse.

Having owned a retail business for quite some time I’ll honestly tell you, this statement doesn’t make sense.
Re-evaluate and come up with a different perspective on that. As it stands, the above quoted passage sounds quite a bit loonish.
Same with cash. Just refer to Weimar Republic to see just how worthless cash can become in a short time. During the worst of it, people would see their cash value cut in half just standing in line to buy a loaf of bread.
Yes, and I think they actually keep tabs of who checks.
For darn near a year, the dang cable company kept slipping little charges onto our bill. Every one was met with a phone call from my wife and removed. A month or two later, we noticed that our bill looked and was formatted slightly different. And the small charges stopped appearing.
It was almost like they have some different or sub system for the people that keep catching them. Almost like someone says, “take them off the add list, they’ll just call every month and waste our time to removed the charges anyway!”
“It hit me that this has been happening for a great many years, no change for a $100 or $50, and this is one of the ways they can “train” people to go cashless.”
Actually, it’s just a way to avoid having to stock tons of cash on hand every day just to give change to the guys who buy a pack of gum with a fifty dollar bill. That’s why those signs were commonplace before “cashless” was even on the horizon.
“How do we fight this insidious, ever-encroaching, cashless nightmare? It’s very simple. We begin using as much cash as possible.”
Or you could just ask for twenties when the bank teller asks you how you would like your withdrawal. He must be going to the human teller if he has this problem, because ATMs give you twenties by default.
“it’s also a society whose wealth can be INSTANTLY removed.”
Wealth stored as cash can be removed just as instantly. Ask anyone who lived in Germany post-WWI, or in Zimbabwe post-Mugabe’s “reforms”.
> Have you noticed the push by credit cards and merchants towards “direct pay”?
They can easily start the service, but somehow it is much more difficult to end the service. I’ve programmed a number of credit card interfaces, and it’s definite policy decision as to how you are treated.
That would not surprise me.
And of course our gracious and wonderful government now wants to take money from people to offer free internet to some. isn’t that nice?
Using a 100 dollar bill for a small transaction is likely to clean out a small store’s change. Since most people don’t use cash they don’t collect a lot of small bills from customers either. Just carry some 20s.
Overall all I agree. I cringe when I hear nannystate “conservatives” talk about how wonderful a cashless society would be for “cracking down on crime”.
