Central planners around the world are waging a War on Cash. In just the last few years:
- 이태리는 천 유로(12만원)를 현금으로 거래하는 것을 불법으로 만들었다 Italy made cash transactions over €1,000 illegal;
- 스위스는 십만프랑(1억1천만원)을 넘는 현금을 지불하는 것을 금지시키는 의안을 제기했다 Switzerland proposed banning cash payments in excess of 100,000 francs;
- 러시아는 1만 달러의 현금거래 금지시키다 Russia banned cash transactions over $10,000;
- 스페인은 3백만원상당 유로화의 현금거래 금지시키다 Spain banned cash transactions over €2,500;
- 멕시코는 2십만 페소 이상의 현금거래 불법 Mexico made cash payments of more than 200,000 pesos illegal;
- Uruguay banned cash transactions over $5,000; and
- France made cash transactions over €1,000 illegal, down from the previous limit of €3,000.
현금을 쓰지못하게하려는 전쟁은 세계 지배중심의 음모가들의 최우선 프로젝트이다. 그 이유는 시민들이 손에서 손으로 거래하는데 쓰이는 화폐를 현금이 아닌 온라인이나 신용카드로 하게 함으로써 정부가 모든 기록을 보며, 통제하고, 모든 거래에 세금을 부과하려는 뜻이다.
이것은 현금거래액의 상한을 계속 축소시키는 이유이기도 하다, 그러다가 어느 싯점에서는 모든 현금을 거래하지 못하게 불법으로 막는 것이다.
미국의 중앙은행 기획자들은 정부가 범죄전쟁이란걸 명분으로 조성해서 현금거래를 제한하기 시작했고, 마약전쟁, 빈곤전쟁, 테러전쟁 등등으로 현금소지와 거래를 심하게 제한하고 있다. 현재 미국민은 은행에서 1만달러 이상을 인출하는 것을 추적하고 있는데, 그런 현금 인출을 범죄나 테러용의자로 간주하기 까지 한다.
The War on Cash is a favorite pet project of the economic central planners. They want to eliminate hand-to-hand currency so that governments can document, control, and tax everything.
This is why they’re lowering the threshold for mandatory reporting of cash transactions and, in some instances, simply making it illegal to pay cash.
In the U.S., central planners ratchet up the War on Cash every time the government declares a made-up war on something else…a war on crime, a war on drugs, a war on poverty, a war on terror…
They all end with more government intrusion into your financial affairs.
Thanks to these made-up wars, the U.S. government is imposing an increasing number of regulations on cash transactions. Try withdrawing more than $10,000 in cash from your bank. They’ll treat you like a criminal or terrorist.
The Federal Reserve is at the center of the War on Cash. Its weapons are inflation and control over the currency denominations.
Take the $100 note, for example. It’s the largest bill in circulation today. This was not always the case. At one point, the U.S. had $500, $1,000, $5,000, and even $10,000 notes. But the government eliminated these large notes in 1969 under the pretext of fighting the War on Some Drugs.
Since then, the $100 note has been the largest. But it has far less purchasing power than it did in 1969. Decades of rampant money printing have inflated the dollar. Today, a $100 note buys less than a $20 note did in 1969.
Even though the Federal Reserve has devalued the dollar over 80% since 1969, it still refuses to issue notes larger than $100. This makes it inconvenient to use cash for large transactions, which forces people to use electronic payment methods.
This, of course, is what the U.S. government wants.
It’s exactly like Ron Paul said: “The cashless society is the IRS’s dream: total knowledge of, and control over, the finances of every single American.”
Policymakers or Central Planners?
On stories related to the War on Cash, you may have noticed that the mainstream media often uses the word “policymakers,” as in “policymakers have decided to keep interest rates at record low levels.”
When the media uses “policymakers,” they are often referring to central bank officials. It’s a curious word choice. As far as I can tell, there is no difference between a policymaker and central planner.
Most people who want to live in a free society agree that central planning is not a good idea. So the media uses a different word to put a more neutral spin on things.
To help you think more clearly, I suggest substituting “central planners” every time you see “policymakers.”

The World’s First Cashless Society
In 1661, Sweden became the first country in Europe to issue paper money. Now it’s probably going to be the first in the world to eliminate it.
Sweden has already phased out most cash transactions. According to Credit Suisse, 80% of all purchases in Sweden are electronic and don’t involve cash. And that figure is rising.
If the trend continues - and there is nothing to suggest it won’t - Sweden could soon be the world’s first cashless society.
Sweden’s supply of physical currency has dropped over 50% in the last six years. A couple of major Swedish banks no longer carry cash. Virtually all Swedes pay for candy bars and coffee electronically. Even homeless street vendors use mobile card readers.
Plus, an increasing number of government restrictions are encouraging Swedes to dump cash. The pretexts are familiar…fighting terrorism, money laundering, etc. In effect, these restrictions make it inconvenient to use cash, so people don’t.
So far, Swedes have passively accepted the government and banks’ drive to eliminate cash. The push to destroy their financial privacy doesn’t seem to bother them. This is likely because the average Swede places an unreasonable amount of trust in government and financial institutions.
Their trust is certainly misplaced. on top of the obvious privacy concerns, eliminating cash enables the central planners’ latest gimmick to goose the economy: Negative interest rates.
Making The Negative Interest Rate Scam Possible
Sweden, Denmark, and Switzerland all have negative interest rates.
Negative interest rates mean the lender literally pays the borrower for the privilege of lending him money. It’s a bizarre, upside down concept.
But negative rates are not some European anomaly. The Federal Reserve discussed the possibility of using negative interest rates in the U.S. at its last meeting.
Negative rates could not exist in a free market. They destroy the impetus to save and build capital, which is the basis of prosperity.
When you deposit money in a bank, you are lending money to the bank. However, with negative rates you don’t earn interest. Instead, you pay the bank.
If you don’t like that plan, you can certainly stash your cash under the mattress. As a practical matter, this limits how far governments and central banks can go with negative interest rates. The more it costs to store money at the bank, the less inclined people are to do it.
Of course, central planners don’t want you to withdraw money from the bank. This is a big reason why they want to eliminate cash…so you can’t. As long as your money stays in the bank, it’s vulnerable to the sting of negative interest rates and also helps to prop up the unsound fractional reserve banking system.
If you can’t withdraw your money as cash, you have two choices: You can deal with negative interest rates...or you can spend your money. Ultimately, that’s what our Keynesian central planners want. They are using negative interest rates and the War on Cash to force you to spend and “stimulate” the economy.
If you ask me, these radical and insane measures are a sign of desperation.
The War on Cash and negative interest rates are huge threats to your financial security. Central planners are playing with fire and inviting a currency catastrophe.
Most people have no idea what really happens when a currency collapses, let alone how to prepare…

첫댓글 좀 오래 전에 유튜브 보니까 세계단일정부가 부상했을 때 통치방법에 대해서 얘기하는데 각 국가의 대통령이나 수상은 각 나라의 총독부 역할만 하게 된다고 들었습니다. 화폐가 사라지고 통치하기 좋우 환경으로 몰아가는 것이 빤히 보입니다.
곧 눈앞에 일어날 일처럼 보입니다.
