\"\"Their agenda may be on the rocks in the United States at the moment<\/a>,<\/span> but that doesn\u2019t mean that the globalists are giving up.\u00a0 In fact, a major push toward a cashless society is being made in the European Union right now.\u00a0 Last May we learned that the 500 euro note is being completely eliminated<\/a>,<\/span> and just a few weeks ago the European Commission released a new \u201cAction Plan<\/a>\u201d<\/span> which instructs member states to explore \u201cpotential upper limits to cash payments\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the name of \u201cfighting terrorism\u201d, this \u201cAction Plan\u201d discusses the benefits of \u201cprohibitions for cash payments above a specific threshold\u201d and it says that those prohibitions should include \u201cvirtual currencies (such as BitCoin) and prepaid instruments (such as pre-paid credit cards) when they are used anonymously.\u201d<\/p>\n

This new document does not mention what an appropriate threshold would be for member states, but we do know that Spain already bans certain cash transactions above 2,500 euros, and Italy and France already ban cash transactions above 1,000 euros.<\/p>\n

This is a perfect way to transition to a cashless society without creating too much of an uproar.\u00a0 By setting a maximum legal level for cash transactions and slowly lowering it, in effect you can slowly but surely phase cash out without people understanding what is happening.<\/p>\n

And there are many places in Europe where it is very difficult to even use cash at this point.\u00a0 In Sweden<\/a>,<\/span> many banks no longer take or give out cash, and approximately 95 percent of all retail transactions are entirely cashless.\u00a0 So even though Sweden has not officially banned cash, using cash is no longer practical in most situations.\u00a0 In fact, many tourists are shocked to find out that they cannot even pay bus fare with cash.<\/p>\n

So most of Europe is already moving in this direction, and now this new Action Plan is intended to accelerate the transition toward a cashless society.\u00a0 The public is being told that these measures are being taken to fight money laundering and terrorism, but of course that is only a small part of the truth.\u00a0 The following comes from the Anti-Media<\/a><\/span>\u2026<\/p>\n

The European<\/span> Action Plan<\/a> <\/span>doesn\u2019t mention a specific dollar amount for restrictions, but as expected, their reasoning for the move is to thwart money laundering and the financing of terrorism. Border checks between countries have already been<\/span> bolstered<\/a> <\/span>to help implement these new standards on hard assets. Although these end goals are plausible, there are other clear motivations for governments to target paper money that aren\u2019t as noble.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a truly cashless society, governments would be able to track where everybody is and what everybody is doing all the time.\u00a0 And in order to have access to the cashless system, people would have to comply with whatever requirements governments wanted to impose on their helpless populations.\u00a0 The potential for tyranny that this would create would be off the charts, but very few people seem greatly alarmed by the move toward a cashless system all over the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even in the United States there are calls for a cashless system.\u00a0 For example, the former chief economist for the IMF wrote an article for the Wall Street Journal not too long ago in which he recommended the elimination of the $100 bill<\/a><\/span>\u2026<\/p>\n

There is little debate among law-enforcement agencies that paper currency, especially large notes such as the U.S. $100 bill, facilitates crime: racketeering, extortion, money laundering, drug and human trafficking, the corruption of public officials, not to mention terrorism. There are substitutes for cash\u2014cryptocurrencies, uncut diamonds, gold coins, prepaid cards\u2014but for many kinds of criminal transactions, cash is still king. It delivers absolute anonymity, portability, liquidity and near-universal acceptance.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Over in Asia restrictions are being put on cash as well.\u00a0 Legendary investor Jim Rogers commented on what is currently happening in India during one recent podcast<\/a><\/span>\u2026<\/p>\n

The time will come when you won\u2019t be able to buy a cup of coffee without being traced, warns investment guru Jim Rogers. To control people, governments will increasingly seek to hunt down cash spending, he adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGovernments are always looking out for themselves first, and it\u2019s the same old thing that has been going on for hundreds of years. The Indians recently did the same thing. They withdrew 86 percent of the currency in circulation, and they have now made it illegal to spend more than, I think it\u2019s about $4,000 in any cash transaction. In France you cannot use more than, I think it\u2019s a \u20ac1,000,\u201d said<\/a> Rogers in an interview with MacroVoices Podcast.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The reason why this is taking place all over the planet is because this is a global agenda.<\/p>\n

The globalists ultimately plan to completely eliminate cash, and this will give them an unprecedented level of control over humanity.<\/p>\n

One thing that many fear may someday be implemented is some form of microchip identification system.\u00a0 In order to access the cashless grid, you would need your \u201cID chip\u201d so that the system could positively identify you, but of course there are millions of people around the world that do not intend to get chipped under any circumstances.<\/p>\n

In the old days, you would be labeled a \u201cconspiracy theorist\u201d just for suggesting that they may try to chip all of us one day, but in 2017 things have completely changed.<\/p>\n

Just look at what is happening in Nevada.\u00a0 A bill has been introduced in the state senate that would outlaw the \u201cforced microchipping of people\u201d<\/a><\/span>\u2026<\/p>\n

State Sen. Becky Harris said<\/span> a bill to prohibit forced microchipping of people<\/a><\/span> is not as far-fetched as it might seem, because it happens in some places around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

Senate Bill 109 would make it a Class C felony to require someone to be implanted with a radio frequency identifier, such as microchips placed in pets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea for the bill came from a constituent, the Las Vegas Republican said.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If that sounds very strange to you, then you may not know that companies all around the globe are already starting to explore this type of technology.\u00a0 For instance, a company in Belgium called NewFusion has actually begun to microchip their employees<\/a><\/span>\u2026<\/p>\n

In a move that could be lifted straight from science fiction, workers at a Belgian marketing firm are being offered the chance to have microchips implanted in their bodies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The chips contain personal information and provide access to the company\u2019s IT systems and headquarters, replacing existing ID cards.<\/span><\/p>\n

The controversial devices raise questions about personal security and safety, including whether they may allow the movements of people with implants to be tracked.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Technology like this often starts off being \u201cvoluntary\u201d, but then after enough people willingly accept it the transition to \u201cmandatory\u201d is not too difficult.<\/p>\n

We live at one of the most critical moments in all of human history<\/a>,<\/span> and the globalists are certainly not going to lay down and die just because Donald Trump won the election.<\/p>\n

The U.S. represents less than five percent of the population of the planet, and in most of the world the agenda of the globalists is on track and is rapidly advancing.<\/p>\n

The globalists want a unified one world economy, a unified one world religion and a unified one world government.\u00a0 The election of Donald Trump was a blow to the globalists, but it has also made them more dangerous, more ruthless and more determined than ever before.<\/p>\n

And in case you think that using the term \u201cglobalists\u201d is a bit strange, the truth is that even the New York Times is using it<\/a><\/span> to describe the global elite and their global agenda.<\/p>\n

We are in a life or death battle for the future of our society, and the globalists are never going to give up until they get what they want.\u00a0 So now is not a time for complacency, because the very future of our country is at stake.<\/p>\n
