GLENN: Nobody is paying attention to what's happening in India. I mean, gold prices in India shot through the roof because they didn't go cashless. They just took everything over a 50-dollar bill. And it almost stopped the country. This week, they just did it. This cashless society is closer than any of us think, and if you think somebody is not going to -- they're going to let a crisis go to waste, you're mistaken.
A Cashless Society Enslaves You to the System
Glenn Beck is an alarmist. It’s how he gets paid.
Hahah I never even watch the bastard any more but he did have his good points, and he is far from beingn an alarmist reality is reality. Taking CASh is for conntrol,
Control the money control the population,,,,,,,,,,
Look what happens when the Gov. shuts down ppl on food stamps don't get their stamps, nor money ......
Look what happens to fathers who don't pay child support the banks freeze their bank accounts !
So tell me again how great a cashless society will be when the Gov can easily shut it off just because.
CIBC Proved Again the Danger of Cashless Society - The Organic Prepper
Digital systems may be “convenient”, but they often come with central points of failure. Cash, on the other hand, does not crash. It does not rely on external data centres, and is not subject to remote control or remote monitoring. The cash system allows for an unmonitored “off the grid” space. This is also the reason why financial institutions and financial technology companies want to get rid of it. Cash transactions are outside the net that such institutions cast to harvest fees and data.
A cashless society brings dangers. People without bank accounts will find themselves further marginalised, disenfranchised from the cash infrastructure that previously supported them. There are also poorly understood psychological implications about cash encouraging self-control while paying by card or a mobile phone can encourage spending. And a cashless society has major surveillance implications.
Despite this, we see an alignment between government and financial institutions. The Treasury recently held a public consultation on cash and digital payments in the new economy. It presented itself as attempting to strike a balance, noting that cash was still important. But years of subtle lobbying by the financial industry have clearly paid off. The call for evidence repeatedly notes the negative elements of cash – associating it with crime and tax evasion – but barely mentions the negative implications of digital payments.
The UK government has chosen to champion the digital financial services industry. This is irresponsible and disingenuous. We need to stop accepting stories about the cashless society and hyper-digital banking being “natural progress”. We must recognise every cash machine that is shut down as another step in financial institutions’ campaign to nudge you into their digital enclosures. (source)
It only took one day of the CIBC debacle to remind people of why digital transactions are at the mercy of the computers and those who control them.
The people who are pleading for the “progress” of a cashless society, the ones who can’t wait to get their debit card embedded into their arms as an RFID chip – they aren’t seeing the bigger picture. That’s the picture of them, losing everything they have at the whim of a bank, a prosecutor, or a computer error. It’s the picture of every single thing you buy and every transaction you make being tracked, filed away, and one day used against you.
It’s all about control. It’s always about control.
And without cash, you just handed all of your control to someone else.

Dude, your acting like a hysterical woman. I never said a cashless society would be good, I said it will never happen, just like the paperless office. Sure, there are a few offices that don’t use paper, but the huge majority do. And cash will always have a use in this country. Calm down.
Oh yay. Who doesn’t love being “nudged” along the road to Marxism and a cashless utopia? (This is sarcasm. Hold the angry comments and emails.)
Here’s why a cashless society is dangerous.
A cashless society is a danger to freedom. And this is why we should embrace cold hard cash, precious metals, and the barter system.
Most of the folks who will read this article will already be on board with this philosophy, but here is one of the best explanations I’ve read about the dangers. From The UK Guardian…

I always tip on the card, so that the income is recorded. Servers are not doing themselves any favors to hide their income. They find this out when it comes time to buy a car or a house.I never use cash except for certain tips.

it's already happening though. They will eeek in right under our noses if we don't pay attention. Like the sheep don't.

Right...kind of no choice on those, most of the time...I always tip on the card, so that the income is recorded. Servers are not doing themselves any favors to hide their income. They find this out when it comes time to buy a car or a house.I never use cash except for certain tips.
Me too. I meant valets, taxis, bellboys and that stuff.
How dumb do you have to be when one can't realize how easy those cards can be shut down FOR ANY REASON they see fit.
How dumb do you have to be to NOT realize even today if you fail to pay something your bank account, credit cards etc are frozen.
If you are to fkn stupid to realize how they WILL CONTROL THE VERY FORCE YOU NEED TO SURVIVE.. good luck being their victim off your own pathetic stupidity.
IF I CONTROL YOUR LOG ON ACCES TO THIS WEB SITE AND I DECIDED YOU CAN'T GET ONN HERE BAM YOU ARE NOT LOGGING ON............. it's that simple.
You don't get money, you don't get to use your card you can't buy food, pay rent, pay bills, ......you can do NOOOOOOOOTHING what part of the GOV controlling your funds do you not get.

The cashless society is a con – and big finance is behind it | Brett Scott
If you cannot pay cash for a car, you do not need it.Not many know that every time you use a freaking slave card......
The card ISSUER/OWNER gets paid huge bucks for that card. Every-time it's used you make those bastard banks all that much richer it's called a FEE.
YOU GET POOR THEY GET RICH
THEY FORCE YOU TO USE IT ( WITH THAT FEE)......
EVEN FOOD STAMP CARD HOLDERS ARE CHARGED A FEE FOR THEIR F.S. CARD yeah how many have that logic picked up yet.
Apparently you've never heard of cashback credit cards.
I use Ally bank and an ally cashback card. I get 1.5% cash back on every purchase, AND an additional 10% when I redeem my money back into my Ally account. With this free money I've already bought a tablet, a laptop computer and some car parts. All free money.
So no, you don't get poorer. You get a 1.5% discount on everything you buy because you get the money back. If you pay cash, you don't.
There is no such thing as free money. If you don't pay the balance back at the end of the cycle, you pay interest which is greater than 1.65% (your stated rate of return).
So don't buy anything you can't afford. I never said credit cards were free money, I said the CASH BACK I get is free money. I've been using a CC since my 18th birthday and not ONCE not paid my balance in full at the end of the month. My credit scores are 814 right now at 2 of the agencies.
Using cash doesn't build credit which makes it almost impossible to buy a house or a car.
Dude, your acting like a hysterical woman.
No it's not the ease of the plastic cards that impose steep fees to force prompt statement payments.It's become so much easier to carry a card and use that instead of money . That's where they got us all. LOL
