The cashless society

Image Credit: sxc.hu I became painfully aware of how much of a cashless society we have become when I took a trip recently across country. At every gas station I was required to either pay inside before I could pump my fuel, or I could use a credit card at the pump for instant access. I do not now, nor have I ever had a credit card of any kind. It’s not that I didn’t try to get one, the issuing companies just never found me worthy of one. Chapter eleven in my book covers in detail the witches brew used to determine your credit score.

When I travel I always carry a large amount of Federal Reserve Notes. I didn’t mind paying inside before fueling my tank, don’t ask me why I drive a tank, that is a long story, but I have no idea how many gallons my vehicle needs and thus how much I should pay in advance. It is an inconvenience to anyone without a credit card and the money matrix is designed to keep it that way, thus forcing the mavericks back to the rest of the herd, or so they think.

At every Motel I stopped at, they wanted me to pay with a credit card. Some took my Federal Reserve Notes and some didn’t. I can’t blame them, after all over the last ten years our currency has changed designs and colors so often that it is tough to tell what is a fifth graders art project or legal tender. It is also impossible to rent a car without a credit card.

A year ago when I tried to rent an apartment in Phoenix I was told, and I am not making this up, that cash was no longer accepted for paying rent due to it being inconvenient. At any given time less than 5% of the currency in circulation is in a tangible form. 95% of all currency is nothing but ones and zeros bouncing around in computers. EFT’S, or electronic funds transfers are ever more popular. If I write a check at WalMart, they scan it, make me sign a receipt, and instantly funds move from my account to their account. I went as long as I could without an account of any kind, but society does not look well on no accounts!Slick commercials on TV suggest that at the store the line only moves along smoothly if you use plastic. I’ve been behind these plastic freaks, cash in hand as I wait for them to move their poky behind. First they have to swipe their card, swiping the card of someone else is identity theft, then they must input a secret pin number, then wait to see if the computerized cash register acknowledges they have sufficient credit to make the purchase, then they have to sign the touch screen with a stylus, then a receipt is printed, and they may have to sign that too. Okay, I grew a beard while waiting on them, that’s reality, not the slick fast moving plastic infused line on the TV commercials.

Charles B. Darrow came out with the game Monopoly in 1933, right after the Federal Reserve and the Government confiscated all the gold.

The plan was to get people use to the idea of using fake money so Federal Reserve Notes wouldn’t seem so unnatural. Now Parker Brothers, who bought the rights to Monopoly in 1935 have come out with a new version called “Monopoly Brand Electronic Banking Edition”. It uses no money. It comes complete with six debit cards and all transactions are done electronically.

Like it or not the cashlessness will be force fed to us by the Government the same way they pried the gold from your Grandfathers hands. And once all the funds are ones and zeros in a computer, it will be that much easier to turn it off in an accident or act of terrorism, leaving you with no money. But as I have proven in my earlier articles there already is no money. Wake up people, the money matrix has you.
