Has Trump been conned into working toward a despotic cashless society? Sure seems that way

See: Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Modernizes Payments to and from America’s Bank Account


PHASING OUT PAPER CHECKS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to modernize how the government handles money, switching from old-fashioned paper-based payments to fast, secure electronic payments.

• The Order mandates that, effective September 30, 2025, the Federal government will cease issuing paper checks for all disbursements, including intragovernmental payments, benefits, vendor payments, and tax refunds.
• All executive departments and agencies must transition to modern, electronic funds transfer (EFT) methods like direct deposit, debit/credit card payments, digital wallets, and real-time transfers.
• Payments made to the Federal government, such as fees, fines, loans, and taxes, must also be processed electronically where permissible under existing law.

• Treasury will phase out physical lockbox services and expedite electronic collection of Federal receipts.

While the Trump Administration is 100% correct, and in perfect harmony with our Founder’s wisdom in using tariffs at our water’s edge to advance the best interests of America’s manufacturing base and having foreign manufactures paying for the privilege of doing business on American soil _ as one does at a flea marker when paying for their booth to sell their goods and wares and thus fill our national treasury _ our Founders would certainly view the Trump Administration’s move toward a cashless society as “. . . the mark of the Beast in Revelations . . . ” when they rejected allowing our government to make bank notes of any kind [which includes today’s Federal Reserve Notes] a “legal tender” in payment of debt SOURCE

Among the very consequences of the Trump Administration’s despotic move toward electronic banking and transactions are, it dissolves physical evidence of financial transactions, conducts trade in the shadow and not the substance, and relinquishes absolute control over every individual and businesses’ financial dealings to the hidden hand of government through government’s alleged innocuous electronic banking scheme.

And what happens when folks in a current Administration are upset with your political views and the political party you have registered with? Will your electronic account be erased or meddle with? How about the manner in which you spend your money? Keep in mind folks in government will have total awareness of every dime you spend. Could you be punished for a particular purchase or it be electronically invalidated at the point of an attempted purchase?

The omnipotent government power connected to moving toward a cashless electronic-based financial transactions system is very real and suggests there is a dangerous and subversive operative in the Trump Administration.

Is that you approving our federal government being allowed to observe and exercise total control over every dime you spend?

All part of his responsibility when gifted the Presidency .
No cash and a much reduced dollar value allows you to move to the Re-Set with Gold as your value standard

As the world has been slowly but surely switching from cash to digital for the past 30 years - calling Trump out for doing it.

You need to see a therapist to deal with this obsession.

One is a matter of volition, the other a matter of force.

This is what happens when your leader has no real real philosophical compass.

I see federal government payments becoming less of an issue as welfare winds down. Tax returns may all be cancelled as budget balancing becomes more difficult. Contractors providing goods and services to government may look for other clients if they doubt the government's credit rating. I expect barter to become more common as the dollar loses value.
 
AOC could be the catalyst for such actions.
She is the anti-Christ. Absolute deception and starving for power.
Why the Dems are loving on her
She's one of thousands such wannabe tyrants....The EO referenced in the OP empowers them.

This is just like the warnings about the unpatriotic Patriot Act.

Just making it a little harder to evade taxes when it replaces 80K IRS workers with AI to hunt to evil-doers down.

Protests were loud and clear across the country during the creation of the "Federal Reserve System", which eventually replaced our U.S. Dollars with worthless, irremediable Federal Reserve Notes that are susceptible to fraud, abuse and a plundering of real wealth which is created by America's businesses and labor.

Congressman Louis T. McFadden in 1932 summarized the Federal Reserve Board as follows:

"We have, in this country, one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board. This evil institution has impoverished the people of the United States and has practically bankrupted our government. It has done this through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it".

And just what is today's U.S. national debt, including unfunded liabilities? The ANSWER may shock you.

“For over two decades, rogue actors within our U.S. intelligence agencies have used the Patriot Act to create the most sophisticated, unaccountable surveillance apparatus in the Western world,” said Congresswoman Luna. “My legislation will strip the deep state of these tools and protect every American’s fourth amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures. It’s past time to rein in our intelligence agencies and restore the right to privacy. Anyone trying to convince you otherwise is using ‘security’ as an excuse to erode your freedom.”
 
Checks are outdated.

But that doesn’t mean we are heading for a so-called “cashless” society.

Camel, nose under tent, remember the U S Patriot Act?

I still (with some reservations) generally support the Patriot Act.

This is not “nose under the tent.” But paper checks are kind of dumb in a highly modern economy with massive computing abilities.

"The War on Cash is the War on You"

.A real good read!


The War on Cash: How a Cashless Society Will Strip You of Freedom, Privacy, and Control


Conclusion: The War on Cash is the War on You
A cashless society is not progress it’s a power grab. It’s a system designed to strip you of control, privacy, and financial freedom, placing your entire existence in the hands of corporations, employers, banks, agencies and governments that have shown time and time again they cannot be trusted.
