stringman: Today we are the first generation with the technology available to fulfil such a prophecy of a "cashless" society.
Debit cards have already been introduced in many parts of the world & are extremely popular with stores, banks & customers.
Then there's the "IC Card" or the "Smart Card", which actually has a little computer chip embedded in the card. You've probably read about these electronic marvels that not only give you access to your bank account, but also contains your passport, medical record, driver's license, photographs, welfare eligibility and all kinds of other data. These are already being tested in various parts of the world.
... So you can see we are fast on the way to eliminating cash--and there are many compelling reasons why. Cash is the very mother's milk of drug smugglers, who often deal in cash a suitcase full at a time. With no cash the sale of illegal drugs would cease. In fact to eliminate cash would eliminate almost every kind of criminal activity, from theft to terrorism, and be an instant cure-all for many of the World's most desperate social & economic ills. No wonder governments are pushing towards the cashless society with unrestrained enthusiasm.
However, before cash, cheques & credit cards can be phased out completely, they have to develop an identification system that is absolutely foolproof & will ensure that a person presenting a card for a transaction is actually the owner of that card.
Various foolproof ID systems have already been developed, like this fingerprint reader. However the only problem with these machines is that they are extremely expensive. For a completely cashless society to work, there would have to be one at every little shop & retail outlet where anything is bought & sold.
Whereas these identification terminals cost many thousands of dollars each, the actual micro-chips encased in the plastic "smart cards" cost only a few dollars each So what if you took the chip out of the card & placed it under the skin?
Once the chip has been implanted it can be read by an inexpensive scanner, much like the one in your local grocery store. So, you now become your own smart card!--And the very expensive problem of making sure that the owner of the card is who he says he is, has been solved.
Today the technology for just such an implant not only exists, but is being tested in pilot programs all over the world. A tiny microchip which can be read by a scanner is inserted into a spot below the animal's skin. "Infopet" in California boast the ability to keep track of 4 billion cats & dogs worldwide. This technology has proven that keeping track of large populations through implants & centralized computer data banks is completely feasible.
So as we can see the technology & the public acceptance to make the Mark of the Beast system work is rapidly falling into place...Already we are constantly hearing about the "New World Order", or "global community", & these buzz slogans are slowly sinking in as the world heads towards an international financial and political system, a cashless society controlled by a computer data base that covers the entire globe, keeping track of every man, woman & child, where they cross borders & when they buy & sell--exactly like the one predicted in Revelation chapter 13 nearly 2,000 years ago!
And THEY are trying to sell it to us as a way of controling drug deaslers blah blah blah when in fact it will be the most perfect population controle tool EVER.
We won't even be able to buy stuff from where we want to unless it's enabled on the chip. They could make anyone unable to function in THEIR society by simply dis=abling the chip.
EagleWoman: The argument is made in the video you didn't watch
I'm sure it's a grand argument to convince people to see somethign that's clearly not evident in real life around us. Here in the US, you are still free to start your own enterprise and do your own trade and choose your own occupation and cut your own deals and as long as we can do that, arguments about how we are controlled by an invisible group of power-hungry lords ring very hollow.

At present, in this supermarket there are a number of ways I can pay for this shopping--I can use cash, or I can write a check, or pay by credit card...........

Cut up your credit cards, pay cash instead.
Even though I think the Bible is one of the biggest conspiracies of all time, the fact is, there are right winf Christian fanatics pushing these so called "prophecies" into existence.
They should be rounded up and shipped to Antarctica, with nothing more than a loin clth and a Bowie knife, along with all of the other religious fanatics around the world.
Then they can fight over which brand of BS is the "correct" one, and leave the rest of us to live in peace.
EagleWoman: What if ALL of that was just a smoke screen? What if the alleged freedom has the walls closing in on it?
How about you suggest the answer to the questions. For the sake of argument, assume that there's no question about whether it's so or not and take the "what if" as a question of what to do about it. Let's assume that you've spotted the big trap. What are you doing to escape it? What actions does anyone take to escape this trap, whether real or imagined?
We can post messages about it on the internet and to what avail? Without some plan of action, it's just internet chatter, so what's the plan?

Never had a Creditcard! Not going to pay money whether I use it or not!
Snuggs09: Of course I work to pay for all those things. Should I expect someone to give me what I need. That's what is going on with people on Medicaid. They want, want, want and unemployment. They want it all but they want it given to them rather than working for it.
When things are given to you, you can't appreciate what you have. Take a young person who inherits a bunch of money when he's 21. Unless he is guided he will blow it on cars, drugs, women. He doesn't know the value of money because he didn't sweat his butt of working for it.
