Yep that’s exactly what’s coming and really worried about it to be honest.

This is why I am still passing out bottles of Hopium beer all over ATS in the past from the 99 beers on the wall song. So that one day we wake up and share a real beer and celebrate defeating this pure evil that is like something from Lord of the Rings.

Only about 8% of the worlds money is actually printed cash and coins. What difference would this make to not having physical money when 92% is already just tracked numbers? Using cash for anonymous transactions sailed away long ago.

It's going to be tied to your 'social credit score' for sure. And it's nice to have cash options. I always carry $100 in my wallet in case cards don't work for whatever reason.
Sometimes I just want to pay cash as it seems safer ( the very rare times I get drive thru something, I pay cash).

Somewhere yesterday on Telegram I saw a comment on how many major Corporations, (international?) are going to start adopting social credit system. I am real sad to think I am going to need heirloom seeds and my own water source with some farm animals to survive these lunatics.

IN time the seeds and home growing will be made illegal too.. Taking the food chain bit by bit. No accident bird flu goes into cows now.

I've often warned about the drive towards a cashless society.
How close are we?
Its getting closer......but I don't think we are quite there yet.

Thankfully for me; cash is king......I haven't even had a bank account for quite a few years now.

Silver coins sound like a good idea until you realize they aren't taking cash anymore and those who deal in cash "Must be committing crime". Barter will make it where the bad guys will find out who has some, come take it by force, and leave you barter free while maybe needing stitches. I like the gold backed currency ideas I am seeing with BRICs money. I hope we do have white hats working to end this and it is a movie.

There's also just too much USD cash floating around to suddenly stop it. Countries like the UK are prime targets to go cashless. A giant island, everyone on the same time zone, CCTV is already accepted.

It will be interesting to see if this plays out. Although, a black market that will have its own currency will most definitely surface.

You shouldn't so sure about CCTV because any plans for a cashless society forced upon people may result in the destruction of the surveillance system in the UK. The attempt can backfire big time and we would all love to see it happening.

Its who you claim is punting that agenda that's problematic purplemer.

And quite frankly antisemitic at heart if you are honest.

As to an agenda with objectives, nothing new on that score.

The particular law in question is dead out of the gate by my guess.

It won't have the intended effect and possibly quite the opposite.

Hence the reason they are not going to be apt to shoot themselves in the foot by way of the introduction of a completely traceable digital currency.

After all you cannot be as bent as a £3 note, if there are no notes.

a reply to: andy06shake

If you crate the system you can be as bent as you like. The system is to mess with us not them , when do any of the rule apply to them?
Religion was once used to control the many by the few but now they’re going to use this points system. It’ll start by having people on benefits use this system and then it’ll come to everyone.
If we don’t start to wake up it’ll be too late.

I’m buying seeds etc and organic ones that can regrow again.

The same rules apply to them, but they can afford to purchase justice, they are just like you and me only difference is they have power, because they can pay for the privilege.

Religion was once used to control the many by the few but now they’re going to use this points system.

Religion is used to control the many, if in doubt well consider that around 80% of the planet choose to subscribe to some form of organised religious practice.

It’ll start by having people on benefits use this system and then it’ll come to everyone.

And all that will serve to achieve is to create new grey and black market economies and people come up with ways to circumvent a system that attempts to say what the can and cannot purchase.

If we don’t start to wake up it’ll be too late.

Thats just a collection of buzzwords G1111B1234, and old chestnut at that imho.

a reply to: G1111B1234

I was at the garden center not that long ago.

Nobody stopping us from buying seeds.

And they are freely available to purchase without any sort of problems or identification required.

a reply to: andy06shake

I don’t say there was any problem buying seeds

a reply to: andy06shake

Im not debating they’re not like you and me but they’re in a very strong position.
It’s fine to have a different opinion.
From what I’ve researched over the years , times are going to change badly for us all of this doesn’t stop.
Why not research into yourself and then maybe you might gain some insight.

a reply to: G1111B1234

I can see that G1111B1234.

Purplemer is the one implying the problems will be in the post.

Nobody is stopping us from growing stuff by my guess.

Aside from the weather here in Bonny Scotland.

Entrenched is how i would put it.

And you're are correct about opinions, i would not wish to live in a world, where that was not the case

Yeah I've doing that dance since the early 90s, i think my insight is just fine with respect to researching the antics of TPTB.

Been down that rabbit hole got the teeshirt and came out the other side.

As to change well that's always in the post, hopefully removal of the Tories/SNP from power at the next election will help enable a better future for the UK, but again i would not hold my breath.

It doesn’t matter who’s in power within our politics , they’re not the ones running the show , they’re just puppets, labour are not going to save our country.

It matters to me else i would not vote.

they’re not the ones running the show , they’re just puppets,

Yada, yada, yada, democracy is a prison where the majority cannot see the bars.

Nonetheless, its the best system of government yet devised by man G1111B1234.

What would be your alternative?

labour are not going to save our country.

Well not with that sort of attitude, put it this way, imho they are desirable to the alternative.

As to who runs the show, well money talks buddy and the rest just do the walk of life, but we have been over this before.

Our world is what we make it, and you play the cards you're dealt in life, in the best manner you know how, that's just how the world spins by my guess.

Anyhoo Rangers game to watch the day pal.

Catch you later.

It may work in the U K

But for now it will not work in the US

So many businesses are now charging a 3 or more % fee if one uses a credit card.

Since then me and many of my friends have started carrying more cash and pay cash at those businesses.

Even at the car repair, we are getting the total by phone and then going to the bank so we can pay cash. They charge 3.9% fee for using a credit card.

It seems that is spreading. My favorite boutique is doing it too, so I always take cash there. Except there they say if you pay cash there is a 3.9% discount applied to the price.

The restaurants that are starting to do this, I pay cash. Good part is no tip "suggestions".

I now carry more cash than ever.

I hope TPTB don't think it will be easy to do this to the US, because more and more people are using cash in my circles at least.

Especially for big purchases! That convince fee adds up.



Right now there is an incentive to pay with cash.

Good grief, that's surprising. Not seeing any of that where I live. Maybe I'm missing something?
