In a cashless society, would churches no longer have collection plates? How would I pay the babysitter or the neighbor kid to mow the lawn? What about yard sales? And cash tips for workers in food services? What about kids wanting to buy candy or ice cream after school? No more coins to play Arcade Games? Are we expected to trust our kids with their own credit cards which they could lose or abuse? And, OMG! Will there no longer be Piggy Banks? What about Christmas tips for your postman and other service people? Or The Salvation Army Christmas Bell-Ringers? What about Farmers Markets and Crafts Fairs? And will nobody have a secret stash of cash “in case of emergency” under the mattress, in a sock or under a floorboard any more? And how about Birthday Cards with cash from Granny? And weed dealers? Will they accept plastic? And how will panhandlers or the homeless survive? What about all the people who can’t afford $100 to open a bank account, or just don’t want or need one?

Going cashless discriminates against poor people, in so many ways. I think it sends a heartless message to the downtrodden. Basically those pushing digital cash are hoping to do away with people who do not have a bank account. They are waging war on the less fortunate, making it close to impossible for them to survive. Is that not, perhaps, “malicious intent”?

In many instances cash is quicker, cheaper (no bank fees) and anonymous. I just read that the government of some country in the EU will be investigating any purchases over a hundred Euros, FFS!

A friend just got a notice from her bank saying they’d be changing their policies. From now on, they can refuse to pay a charge if they feel the seller was “engaged in illicit activities”! They could stop ANY payment to just about ANYONE with THAT excuse!

Do we really want the government monitoring our every move and deciding if an expense is “valid”? Valid according to whom?

Remember the Canadian Trucker Convoy? People had their bank accounts FROZEN because they made a donation or BOUGHT A TEESHIRT!

I saw a video of someone paying for gas with a CHIP EMBEDDED ON THE BACK OF HIS HAND! And he was CHUFFED about it! We’ve gone so wrong!

Is that not the “Mark of the Beast”? I’m no Biblical scholar, but it seems like it to me!

They want to have it all together in one place, all the easier for surveillance purposes. They want to embed the chips in everyone, so they can monitor our every movement, have our j@b status on there, our medical history, any prescriptions, our age, weight, our bodily temperature — who knows what else?

If the psychopaths get their way, every human on earth will be entered into a database where constant monitoring will be the norm! From there they could monitor everything we buy and consume - including our junk food, cigarette or alcohol consumption, and they would be able to stop payment on any item they deemed harmful or unnecessary for one’s survival!

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not advocating for consuming massive quantities of things that are bad for you. But just like with the j@bs, I want to be able to MAKE MY OWN CHOICE! Isn’t that what “FREEDOM” is all about?

And here’s another thing to consider. When they outlawed booze. What happened? Did people stop drinking? Oh, HELL no! Prohibition created a whole new, very lucrative Black Market industry. Same with abortions. Women didn’t stop getting them! They just found doctors who would perform them, legal or not.

And so it will go if they outlaw cash. It will still be around, for those illicit purchases, but the banks and the governments won’t see a penny of that money. Instead, law enforcement officers (paid with taxpayer funds) would have to be hired to try to apprehend the new class of “cash criminals”.

The government wants digital cash so they can collect taxes from every fiscally strapped one of us. I’m sure the wealthy will still be able to avoid paying THEIR fair share, but us poor shlubs who get paid under the table or earn very little, will be hunted down and taxed way more than we can afford.

Why do you think they hired 87,000 more IRS workers? You didn’t think they were going to go after Musk and Bezos, did you?

And one other thing - does EVERYTHING we do HAVE to involve plastic? Can’t we at least be developing HEMP plastic?

WHERE WILL THIS END?
Nowhere good, I guarantee. That’s why we need to nip this power grab in the bud. We cannot afford to lose this one!

Cashless is so wrong in so many ways!

SILICON VALLEY BANK, JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG


Update: U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen rules out a bailout of collapsed Silicon Valley Bank.

Silicon Valley Bank is yet another example of corruption in the banking sector. I’ve read that SVB is the second largest banking failure in US history.

A woke and ‘green’ bank, SVB was devoted to ‘DIE,’ or Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity.

Maybe the latter in particular contributed to their collapse, but before it did go bust executives running the sorry show made sure they cashed out of their stock and rewarded all the top executives with generous bonuses. The taxpayers will pick up the rest of the tab via FDIC insurance.

A lot about this bank collapse sounds familiar. Jim Cramer recommended the stock ahead of its demise—just like he did with Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. Of course, Cramer should be put on the ignore list after he pounded the table and insisted on forced Covid vaccinations for everyone in America. The man sided with tyranny. Don’t side with him—ever again.

Then there is the billionaire class that always seems to come out on top. Peter Thiel’s fund withdrew most of its money out of SVB just in time. Perhaps Thiel possessed better inside information due to his Palantir ball or something, or it could be that he is smart and always knows when it’s time to ‘get out.’ My point is the insiders always have the advantage. Regular investors become bag holders.

We need a criminal investigation into SVC, but most likely they will be bailed out before the collapse of more financial institutions is triggered. We know Wells Fargo has problems, almost on a continuous basis. Apparently, deposits were disappearing and many customers complained of incorrect balances. WF is a criminal organization that has already paid large fines in the past—just like Pfizer.

I’m hardly one to dispense financial advice, but be careful with banks—especially the large ones. I once went ‘all in’ on silver and I was convinced that I would make a fortune. Instead, JPM crushed silver through illegal shorting and manipulation. They paid a fine, but the damage was done. Starting on May 1, 2011, their traders illegally colluded and shorted silver—and in a year or two the shiny metal collapsed down to $13. It forced me to realize just how much power and influence the big banks possessed. The average Joe stands no chance against them. That’s why I would not keep an inordinate amount of money in any bank—especially during these unstable times. One could wake up and find their banks declaring bankruptcy and their money gone.

The ultimate blame belongs to the Federal Reserve. It was set up with the promise of ending booms and busts. Instead, they intentionally brought about continuous booms and busts. The Roaring 20s and easy credit. Then the Great Depression was made longer by FDR’s bad policies that benefited big banks who wanted to buy up infrastructure for pennies on the dollar. Then we had the post-WWII boom, the inflation bubble caused by the Vietnam War, and LBJ’s ‘Great Society’ spending. We experienced very high-interest rates under Jimmy Carter. Fed Chairman Paul Volcker stepped in and raised them to ridiculous highs in order to counter inflation as well as crush the gold and silver ‘bubble.’ Then we got the housing bubble, the Internet bubble, the post-9-11 stock market crash, and the 2008 bank crash due to their criminal manipulation of housing derivatives. After that, we got the ‘everything bubble,’ which may be crashing right now. Will SVB trigger more failure? Maybe not right away, but the dollar is fundamentally flawed and it won’t take much for another Great Depression. Perhaps the BRICS countries will trigger it. Or maybe WWIII.

We live in perilous times. We could see some ’titanic’ economic destruction. I still favor “real money:” gold and silver, but it wouldn’t hurt to stock up on storable food, ammo, and easily-traded items such as packs of cigarettes, toilet paper, medicine, and/or small bottles of booze.
