Cashless or Unpatriotic

I am going to post a link to a website by Alex Jones called InfoWars. I don't usually link to his site because I think he has a tendency to overreact and see a conspiracy in everything; but, sometimes he catches articles that I did not. Over the years I have found that I usually post on issues before he does; but, I believe this is usually due to the fact that I don't have to have my articles edited or reviewed by others.

The article is by Adan Salazar and is titled - Survey Finds Large Number of Australians Welcome Cashless Society, Retinal Scans for Banking

The article links to a report by the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ) which surveyed people to see what the future of banking might look like. 67% of those surveyed said that they "would be comfortable using a machine that scans your eye to verify identification in place of a pin." and "79% would be comfortable using fingerprint technology in place of a pin." While what is not stated is how many would prefer these technologies be used, it does mean that most would quietly accept it.

The article also states that there is a five year program underway. What is even more interesting is the video that InfoWars provides at the bottom of the article and I highly recommend that you watch it. The video is from CNBC. Interesting statements, statement 1 is at 8 seconds, the anchor asks if a move to a cashless society around the world help America. She interviews Johnathen LaPau (might be spelled wrong) at 4:45 into the video the anchor states the regardless of the type of electronic cash it would basically require a biometric national identification system. She then says the system would require all banks around the world to agree on the identification system so that it would work. The guest states that ideally you would have a single standard worldwide.

The video spends most of it's time talking about how cash is bad and is used by terrorists and criminals. This is the first time I have heard someone actually say what I have been saying, they want to go to an all electronic worldwide electronic currency and in order to access it you will have to be bio-metrically identified. This is a CNBC anchor saying that this system will be the same as an international biometric identification system.

Anyone who has read this blog for a long time knows that I said this was the end game and guess what now it is being openly discussed and promoted so that we can fight terrorism and gangs. Now lets go back to the original ANZ article, it didn't ask people if they would be "comfortable" with a national ID card or if it did, it did not say how many would. What it said was that this biometric database would constructively be one. Same thing will play out in the United States as is demonstrated by the video.

I gave a sermon a little while back where I was talking about the Mark of the Beast in Revelations (and NO, I am not saying that biometrics is the mark of the beast). In the sermon I discussed how never before in history was it possible to require everyone in the world to have a mark in order to buy and sell. Revelations states that everyone will be required to take a mark in order to buy and sell and a biometric read of your face is not a mark. Personally, I think that you will have to have an invisible mark verifying that you are you and the mark will not be something that would make sense to forge. The point is that we are absolutely headed to electronic currency, biometric verification and an international identification scheme.

We are seeing the promotion of a lot of disturbing things right now. The UN is trying to get a couple of international taxes (one of them on cigarettes), the ability to regulate small arms and the seas through treaty and is also seeking control over the internet. At the same time we are seeing a number of countries requiring biometric identification of everyone (India being one of the best examples) and we are eliminating all of the infrastructure (printing presses, the postal service and over the air radio) that will allow you to function without relying on the internet. Does this bother anyone other than me?

Here is something else that one needs to consider, you cannot have an international currency system (electronic or otherwise) unless all nations currencies are set by an international legislative body. Now the question becomes one of what the basis for setting such currencies would be (I know, I wrote on this before) and my prediction is that it would be based on the total mineable mineral resources of a country, their labor force and their infrastructure. Estimating these expenses and agreeing on the weight given to each may be more difficult; but, we have the Euro to guide us and show us the way.

Things consider to get overly controlling as one considers the effects of this single currency. Firstly, without accepting it, a nation would not be able to trade with other nations. Secondly, in order to get China, Russia, Japan, the EU and the United States to accept this new currency, you would have to destroy theirs. Finally, a single electronic currency could be shut off for any individual and there is no other place to go in the world. It wouldn't matter when you went. Your money would not be accepted anywhere if you were shut off in your own country and the biometric identification would prevent you from re-entering the monetary system without having gotten approval from your home nation.

This is how it will work. The banks will require electronic verification of you in order to access your account. After that they will phase out physical cash as is happening in certain countries already. The currencies crash and we convert to exclusively electronic payments. I guess that is enough for now.

Here is a little story for you, sorry, I don't remember where I read it because I saw it in a couple of places. Some homeless guy in England (I believe) rented a hotel room and skipped out on the bill. He left behind his toothbrush and his dna was used to track him down by the police. I don't know what they guys room bill was; but, really, it must be pretty cheap to trace people biometrically in England. I would be careful spitting gum on the streets there.
