It’s already being done is Sweden-all but legally mandated, because almost everyone uses cashless transactions-and it’s not only accepted, it’s embraced by the Swedes. Their government is openly and deliberately working towards a cashless society.

I hope they get their wish when the EU out of Brussels mandates EU nations laying the groundwork for the cashless society. Their government hasn’t cared about what the German people wanted when it came to importing the rapefugees.

Interesting how he’s the ringleader (and the one with the money to turn his talk into walk) of disarming us and gutting our Second Amendment right (I say “right”, because in my mind it’s not “rights”, that implies there are parts that they can chip away, when it was supposed to be no abridgement of the right to own weapons, period).

People are already getting “chipped” in various forms all over the world. Mexico is implementimg mandated chipping for people on the government dole.

In Pastor Billy Crone’s “Final Countdown” series, he shows news clips from around the world which show all the different ways people are getting chipped, and new ways in the pipeline.

The Final Countdown series offered some pragmatc possibilities as to why people would be chipped (marked) in right hand or forehead. Until you see these technologies, the definitive statement in Revelation about it being right hand or forehead seems arbitrary.

The cashless society will go hand and hand with negative interest rates.

If your “money” is electronic it can be widdled away by negative interest rates. This will force you to spend it as soon as possible...to help the economy. Would you rather stockpile consumable goods or just watch your savings disappear?

See, it will he’s sold as good for the economy.

Besides, good reliable democrats live week to week. => Just who do you think you are?!?!

This will encourage stockpiling of consumer products....anything that can be stored. Possibly a run on these items. But, you can only store so much detergent, soup cans and toilet paper.

It will appear genius...for a time. Then what? What happens when everyone is sitting on 18 months of supplies?

By this time they will be heavily taxing...if not forbidding the purchase of gold, silver and anything deemed a hard asset.

This is just my opinion but I don’t think a cashless society is possible. They can try it but all that will happen is a cash underground will spring up. In fact we already have one. Craigslist.

Re: “Why not allow freedom to choose cash or not choose cash?”

I agree, that’s the way it should be handled.

I was responding only to the idea that a cashless society is a problem for, or a potential danger to, those of us who choose to go cashless.

A mandatory cashless society does limit freedom.

But it also makes life much more complicated, and much more dangerous, for criminals, too, which is not a bad thing.

I don’t always bother to correct people, but when I do, I really enjoy it when they get all pissy about it. Stay ignorant, my friend.

RE:
Can’t see how a cashless system could be enforced?

Simply debase and invalidate physical cash notes.

You do recall these instances of gov’ts calling in and eliminating cash currency?
Whoever prints money, is your master, by way of inflation, or elimination.

Alternative to cash and digital money, will be high value barter items (precious metals or gems).
High crime turmoil likely during cashless phase-in economic crisis, will likely make carrying high value items for barter, very dangerous, or outright illegal (ban gold).

If they totally do away with cash people will go to precious metals or barter.

Bloombergs a nasty control freak... he needs to take a deep breath and meditate on the possibility people can make their own choices in life... even if they’re NOT blowhard elites.

Koch Brothers Network Considering Anti-Trump Campaign
NBC News ^ | Feb 1 2016 | Leigh Ann Caldwell
Posted on 2/1/2016, 11:55:59 AM by detective

Most of the 500 wealthy conservatives gathered at a Southern California retreat this week know they want to see a Republican back in the White House, but many do not know what to do with the billionaire who wants to make America great again.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump was not at the biannual Charles and David Koch-organized conference over the weekend, but he was a constant presence on the minds of many here at the seminar hosted by the billionaire executives known for their active role in Republican politics.

The Dem reviled Koch brothers are actually LIBERTARIANS, not really "Conservatives" at all, they are also GOPEers, VERY "social"/Society types, so of course they HATE Trump ( but love the likes of that idiot, Bloomberg ), and always make a BIG deal about their donations/charitable gifts.

Of course The Donald live in their collective heads....they know that they can't "rule" him, as they do others.
