Money is Coined Liberty – The Latest Salvos in the War on Cash
Another Keynesian Voodoo Economist Wants to See Cash Abolished
We have a few more bad news and for a change also some good news with respect to the ongoing attempt to prepare the ground for a ban of cash currency. By now everybody should know how this works: Whenever another step to curtail individual liberty further is in the preparatory stage, the ruling class starts trial balloons in the mainstream media, flanked by “expert” opinion pieces, to see how people react. If there is an uproar, they will pull back and wait for a better opportunity. If there is no uproar, you simply wake up one morning with yet more of your personal freedom taken away for the “collective good”.
This is why contrary to what some people seem to think, it is not a good idea to ignore what superficially appear to be outlandish notions. After all, as current EU commission president Jean Claude “we lie if we have to” Juncker once explained, this is precisely how the EU’s centralizers go about imposing policies which they suspect might be unpopular with voters.
A cash ban would bring about even more thorough surveillance and be one step closer to total bureaucratic control
They float trial balloons and accompanying propaganda pieces in the media and then gauge the public’s reaction. If there is no major protest, they quietly implement yet more regulations, bringing us one step closer to their wet dream of a socialist superstate under complete bureaucratic control.
