So It Begins: Bloomberg Op-Ed Calls For An End Of Cash

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/31/2016

In a moment of curious serendipity, a little over 90 minutes after we showed what a dystopian, centrally-planned, cashless society unleashed in a negative interest rate world would look like ("by forcing people and companies to convert their paper money into bank deposits, the hope is that they can be persuaded (coerced?) to spend that money rather than save it because those deposits will carry considerable costs"), and briefly after we laid out the countless recent warnings from "very serious people" that cash is evil and should be banned:

1. Norway's Biggest Bank Demands Cash Ban 2. Bank Of England Economist Calls For Cash Ban, Urges Negative Rates 3. Citigroup's Gold "Expert" Demands A Cash Ban 4. Leading German Keynesian Economist Calls For Cash Ban

... while warning to await a full-on coopted media assault about the dangers of cash "which is an anacrhonysm from a bygone era, and that the world will be so much better if only everyone dutifully exchanges the physical currency in their pocket for digital, traceable, and deletable 1s and 0s", none other than Bloomberg issued an editorial Op-Ed in which it had one simple message: "Bring On the Cashless Future."

For those who were amused by our warning that a cashless world may be coming, here is precisely why the warning was issued, in Bloomberg's digital ink:

5. Bring On the Cashless Future - Bloomberg..."

In this movie, it was Biological Encoding And Satellite Tracking.

Used to communicate with the brother of the filmmaker, who was also himself a filmmaker.

[I want to see that MOVIEEEEEEEE]

There is a TMA 1 and a TMA 2. They function as individual movies but it makes more sense if you see the 1st one before you see the 2nd one.

That’s Rich’s site, the link I gave you.

Also, another good one, though a bit slower is this one:

http://www.christianfilms.com/end-of-the-harvest-movie-dvd.php

That is Dave’s site.


You may still be able to pick them up at Amazon. I reviewed each:

And they are not social conservatives, which makes sense if they're libertarians, as most libertarians aren't. I can't really even add up how a libertarian could be socially conservative.

I wonder if the strong delusion which will fall upon people during the Tribulation might be drug-induced as well as demonically induced. I know that occultish things will abound, and “pharmakeia” refers to both witchcraft and the occult, and to hallucenogenic drugs and New Age practices which open the vulnerable spiritual channels of the mind to demonic forces.

Yes, “pharmakeia” definitely shows up in the Revelation book.

‘I say ‘right’, because in my mind it’s not ‘rights’, that implies there are parts that they can chip away ...’

Thought provoking point. ‘shall not be infringed.’

We keep and bear [two rights], but you are correct as well.

Good thinking!

....forcing people to use their ATM cards carries a kidnapping charge and a potential life sentence, for $200!

WOW! I'm all knocked out ..... 'course, that didn't do, or would not have done, much good for the young woman who died of suffocation after a thug kidnapped her, beat her PIN number out of her, bound her to a tree with duct tape, and then used her card at an ATM to drain her account. By the time the thug got back to where he'd left her, she was dead. The state police caught up with him in Austin, after someone ID'd him from ATM photos.

He went to jail, but she was still dead. Doesn't seem quite proportionate.

That’s the best you can come up with, after all night to think about it? Pathetic.

You’re getting lamer. Look, fool, I’m not sure just what your problem is. You got Gresham’s Law wrong, and I posted a perfectly polite correction. Your reply to that showed that you didn’t wish to learn anything, and that you still had no idea of the meaning and applicability of Gresham’s law; I was willing to let that go. But then you just had to keep it going. Let me remind you that you initiated the personal attacks, thus showing your true inner idiot.

I would advise you to quit while you’re ahead, but it’s far too late for that. Now take as long as you need to come up with something simply devastating. You have all day, for I must go to work soon.

I raised three children but the joy in that is they grew up to be adults. You show no such signs.

a lot of things are going to happen in this world but me needing your advice isn’t one of them.

the current issue of Forbes has two or three articles, one fairly long, that describe in detail efforts to eliminate cash.

Cash in this instance to mean physical paper used to transact sales and not an accounting entry fro the cash account

The problem is for the designers to provide a platform that works across international boundaries with all currencies.

the drivers most noted are Netflix, Alibaba and Amazon. People all over can get TV by Netflix but need to pay seamlessly. ditto alibabba and amazon.
