DOMESTICATING WILD PIGS, AND VISA’S BRIBERY OF BUSINESSES TO NO LONGER ACCEPT CASH
First, the wild pigs are herded into an area with a very large fence, and little by little, the fence size is shrunk until there is no room for debate that the pig is captured. Also, there is the boiling of frogs story if demise of amphibians lessons are more to you liking. Heat the water slowly enough, and the frog won’t try to jump out but the result is dead frog.
This is exactly what VISA is trying to pull on us right now. We have a big bank, who is forwarding the agenda of all big banks onto the American people. They are bribing businesses to discontinue accepting cash. Should we be outraged? Should we fight? Is it even worth our attention for five minutes?
I say YES. If you ever sell things on Craigslist, or have a tag sale, if you ever purchase ANYTHING that you would rather the whole world doesn’t know about, then you should too. How long do you really think you will have before you will be blackmailed into submission for something you feel is your personal choice? Right now, you pay cash for things you wish to conceal for whatever reason. How happy will you be to have that option stripped from you?
If you are concerned that the bankers would want to steal your money once it is 100% in their system, you’d better be paying attention. The laws in the US have already been written giving them permission to do that. As a depositor, you are an unsecured creditor, and very low on the list of entities that will be paid when a bank has liquidity issues. If you think earning no interest on your money is an affront, wait until you see that the bank made a bad gamble, and they are going to help themselves to your principal to bail themselves out.
If you think it might make you angry someday, that the government will be able to simply remove taxes from any "income" shown on your digital account, pay attention right now, because once this is in place, there will be no going back. Why have an IRS and loopholes, when they can just decide that 50% or even 60%, oh, what the heck, 80% of all digital income goes straight to the government and seize it the second it hits your digital account. Don’t like it? Tough ! What are your able to do about it at that point? Not a damn thing.
If the government decides that in order to make us more healthy, there should be a user fee if you buy cigarettes, or sugar, or alcohol, all things that are known to cause health problems, a cashless society breeds the perfect opportunity to institute that kind of legislation. A cashless society means that you will be entirely at the mercy of the government. This is the same government that spends way beyond its means, strong-arms US citizens at airports, makes it impossible to travel with YOUR money, limits how much of YOUR money you can take out of the bank without IRS investigation.
Regardless of whether you are fiscally conservative, or a nanny stater, sooner or later, the group with an opposite political philosophy will be in charge, and you will be considered an enemy of the state for your incorrect thinking. Buying Bibles with your digital account? Buying feminist literature? Who can say what will be acceptable. We, as Americans have free speech. But free speech can be stopped at the cash register. They will have ALL of us by the short hairs, and there won’t be a thing to do about it if we don’t act NOW.
What can you do? Well, when I heard about this, I called my credit card issuer, and told them to give me a master card instead of Visa and explained why. If Twenty Thousand of us did that, Visa stock would plummet, and there would be a reckoning for Visa. It would gain public attention and be covered widely on alternative news, even if CNN says they just don’t understand it.. So I think the first thing, is to strike out at the corporation/ bank pushing this, which is VI SA.
Second, protest and boycott any businesses that refuse to accept cash and vow to never return. Do it loudly, and try to educate the people present to the agenda of the banksters. Maybe even print this out and hand them to patrons.
Third, write everyone on your email chain and speak to friends and relatives. Print this out if you wish, and forward it around.
If we are too busy to pay attention to this now, paying attention later will be a waste of time.
