In view of the "track and trace" push in so many areas of life, in all developed nations. I wonder why more people are not speaking about the "mark of the beast".
I see little TV but what I do see shows me enough to wonder if the entire world is sleeping. The primary advertisers for most "news" shows is pharma. In fact, from the programs that I have seen, they seem to be the primary advertisers on everything. Which brings the question, as pharma pays the "news", will the "news" be objective?
Another item I see, are the early pay debit cards. And, according to a lot of pod-casters, more and more large companies, and airports only accept cards.
This is a push to move people away from any form of cash and transact only digitally.
Ever since the ATM and debit card emerged, people, myself included, use it more than checks or cash. It's convenient, but is it really a good idea?
I remember reading something a few years ago promoting cash over cards because one can keep better track of what they are actually spending. The idea is that if we actually see the money, we might not spend as much. And there is also an idea of a spending limit. If I give myself $100 to spend in a week, and put that cash in my wallet, when it is gone, I am done. Or if there is not enough, then I don't buy it.
So why the push away from cash? It's really quite simple, no-one can track cash. Paper money, or coins, or any tangible item can be traded multiple times and no-one knows where it's been. But with a debit or credit card or bank controlled digital money, everything is tracked. That should frighten people.
By now most people have heard of Bitcoin, and the terms crypto currency, and digital currency, but these things are not the same.
Let's begin with Bitcoin, or crypto currencies. There are several out there and while I find the concept a bit odd, the coin(s) has no actually asset based value, the value comes from the people using it and assigning a value. And the chief values come from a form of security and anonymity. There is also a transaction speed inherit with cryptos. Someone can make a purchase with a crypto from the US to Europe in seconds, where an equivalent credit card or wire transfer will take longer. And there is also a bank fee with such transfers. Cryptos have fewer and in some cases no fees.
National Central banks, like the federal reserve, (which is neither federal nor a reserve) do not like crypto currencies because they have no control of the money.
But recognizing the move in this direction, and playing on the "convenience" aspect of debit cards, there is a stronger move to a central bank digital currency, also called CBDC. On the surface it would look exactly like how most of us have been transacting business for years. My utility bills, insurance and mortgage payments have all been done electronically, with no real "money" ever changing hands. Just a bunch of numbers on a balance sheet. But my bank has records of every penny that came in, where it came from and where it went.
For most of us, national and global economics can be pretty confusing, and until it effects our pockets, we don't usually pay attention. But now it's time to pay attention.
For some time now the US government has been removing money from what is called the M2 supply. And while it includes more than this, they are taking paper money out of circulation. Just a little at a time, but it's happening.
There are right now several banks, and the FED operating with CBDC's, one of which is called the QUANT. This CBDC was pioneered by people at MIT, the same people who designed the Quantum Dot "vaccine" or tattoo.
The way that this is eventually supposed to work. (And is actually being implemented now in some areas). A "marked" person can go to a store, fill a bag with groceries and simply walk out. The sensors in the store can access the person's CBDC account and charge them for the items which are electronically tracked as they exit. Yes people this is happening RIGHT NOW!
While I don't want to spread doom and gloom, I do believe that at some time, all paper money will become worthless. People will only be able to openly trade with tracked CBDC's. But at the same time, I believe there will be a parallel market for barter and real assets. For people who do not want Big Brother tracking everything they do, I suggest getting something of value to be able to trade. And whatever you do, don't get the mark. It might be a tattoo, a chip under the skin, an app on your phone or watch. Or maybe it's "self assembling nano particles" that are injected.
It really is time to wake the hell up!
