In uncertain times, “cash is king,” but central bankers are systematically moving to eliminate that option. "The preservation of an insolvent currency system requires that the owners of currency have no way to protect it..." voters don’t get a say in who runs the country. Instead, a “shadow government” of elites, cronies, lobbyists, bureaucrats, politicians, and zombies – aka the Deep State – is permanently in power. But, as WSJ adds, India has to do more than void notes if it wants to wean itself off cash. “Digital wealth is subject to power outages, infrastructure and exchange collapses, hackers, and online theft. What good is even a billion-dollar portfolio if it can be wiped out overnight? What if the government shuts down the banks and reprograms the ATMs to limit you to $300 a day for gas and groceries?” The sign of a totalitarian or authoritarian state is a media that feels no responsibility to investigate and to find the truth, accepting the role of propagandist instead. The entire Western media has been in the propaganda mode for a long time. In the US the transformation of journalists into propagandists was completed with the concentration of a diverse and independent media in six mega-corporations that are no longer run by journalists. The government has us where it wants us—powerless and disinformed. The business of the journalist is to destroy truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and to sell himself, his country, and his race, for his daily bread. We are tools and vassals of rich men behind the scenes..." We are living in a world in which a handful of high-tech companies, sometimes working hand-in-hand with governments, are not only monitoring much of our activity, but are also invisibly controlling more and more of what we think, feel, do and say. The technology that now surrounds us is not just a harmless toy; it has also made possible undetectable and untraceable manipulations of entire populations – manipulations that have no precedent in human history and that are currently well beyond the scope of existing regulations and laws. "The relationship between those who are constantly watched and tracked, and those who watch and track them, is the relationship between masters and slaves." Ask yourself again. Are we citizens or are we slaves? By abolishing cash, they seek to lock everyone’s money holdings into the fractional-reserve banking system and make the system completely run-proof for all time. Your government is by far the most serious threat to your money and wellbeing.....In effect, currency controls force people to stay with a sinking ship. “The few who understand the system will either be so interested in its profit, or so dependent on its favours, that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that capital derives from the system, will bear its burdens without complaint, and perhaps without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests.” On Thursday (8th Sept. 2016), Wells Fargo was fined $185 million, (including a $100 million penalty from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the largest penalty the agency has ever issued) for engaging in pervasive fraud over the years which included opening credit cards secretly without a customer’s consent, creating fake email accounts to sign up customers for online banking services, and forcing customers to accumulate late fees on accounts they never even knew they had. Regulators said such illegal sales practices had been going on since at least 2011. If supposedly important government agencies and political parties can be hacked, why would the banking system be unhackable? Expect more legislative and regulatory action against cash transactions under the guise of fighting against money laundering, terrorist financing, and tax havens as governments continue to try to squeeze as much money as possible from taxpayers. The value of advocating for decentralized and physical alternatives to the banking system may not be easily grasped by the activists of today, but few other things have the potential to erode freedom on such a massive scale. Soft-sell the people into their own enslavement instead of forcing them. the elite, whoever they may be—George Soros, to be sure, but Christopher Dodd?—have three things on their agenda: “world money, world taxation, and world order.” India has somehow become the gunniea pig for huge monetary experiments: whether it is the Nov 2016 cash elimination, or today's MMT test
