All I use is cash unless it's a big purchase...which is hardly ever...when they ask how I am paying I always say, "Oh, cash definitely, until they take it away from us which is soon." ALWAYS, the reaction is WHAT? ..and then I tell them how they want digital id and currency to track us like they already did during the pandemic....most are dumbfounded but curious and ask lots of questions...sometimes the person behind me in line chimes in, too......I usually say it loud enough for a few people to hear me and I know they all won't start using cash but some will or at least look into what I am saying.....I encourage them...also, I remind them o the frozen back accounts as I live in the once grate country of Canada.....

Great article.

The massive intrusion on all normal expectations of personal privacy arising from cyber has to be dealt with by Congress.

The buying and selling of personal data for central compilation and use by insiders under classical common law principles should be held to be a breach of fiduciary duty.

Thanks, I've been trying for a while now. Included your link on my thread about it:

I have been using cash more often in the last few years, not 100% of the time but often. I will do better as there is no reason not to other than laziness.

I was at a Mexican place recently that did not have a POS system that automatically told the employee how much change to give me when I used cash. So that was interesting to watch. I have also gotten bugged eyed looks when I whipped cash out at smaller places. Those reactions are my 2nd favorite reasons for using cash.

"the slingshot capable of downing the globalist" YES! I'll do my part! Actually as a Dave Ramsey listener I have had my envelopes of cash for years. Don't overspend, can't track. Even when I donate to a cause...no go fund or whatever I ask for a physical address to mail a check to. AND small town banks are the best!

Question: What if the State simply pulls the legal tender? One could no longer use the same cash currency...

Here are suggestions from my 2005 book, To Prevent the Next " '9/11' ", part of 2008/s The World Is Turning ... and available for free and for download online. Credit unions, community-currencies and barter are other alternatives to World Enslavement Forum devices for Credit.

We can also can make changes on our own at local levels.

Credit unions are one way to step away from Banks.

Credit unions can arise from the pooled resources of any

community, whether the community is from a neighborhood or from

a grouping of working-people or from a combinations

of groupings from neighborhodds and working-people.

Community currencies are an even bigger step for groups

to achieve financial independence.

Community currencies substitute local means of exchange for State

money. During the 1930s Depression more than 1900 local

currencies arose in the U. S. Now--after the so-called " 'dot.com' "

Bust of 1999-2001--more than 1900 local currencies are being

exchanged in different places around the world.

Ithaca's 'Hours' are exchanged within a 50-mile radius of this town

in upstate New York. Alain Pilote writes: 'Over 1,000 goods and

services are available for purchase with Ithaca Hours, and they are

accepted in some 250 businesses throughout the area. Since 1991,

over $60,000 of local paper money has been issued, causing

2,000,000 of local trading to be added to the "Grassroots National

Product".' (76)

In Minneapolis, Minnesota 'Community Hero Cards' have been

exchanged instead of U. S. dollars since 1998. In Austin, Texas

'Liberty Dollars' have begun to circulate.

In Japan, following a 1999 TV documentary about the Swiss writer

Michael Ende, more than 100 communities have begun to use each's

own form of debt-free money; more than 500,000 Earthday bills

have changed hands in Tokyo's Shibuya district alone.

Barter is spreading via the Internet. Barter News estimated 1997's

trade in barter to be $650 billion. Websites engaging in trade without

the use of commercial Banks' money are proliferating.

Part of the hygiene theater has been to make payment “contactless” so that cash seems “dirty.” How convenient.

About six months ago I just decided to withdraw a whole bunch of cash from my bank account and I just use cash for everything these days it’s so much easier in my opinion and it makes me feel legit... I guess what I never get any surprises on my credit card bills!

I guess I'm dense. I'm all for it, because if nothing else me having cash in my wallet means the bank doesn't have control over it, but I don't understand how this will keep "them" from being able to demand we have digital currency. Yes, I read the entire article and I somewhat understand the theory, but just not the whole picture. Would someone please help me understand?
