Monopoly Board Game Goes Cashless: Barcodes Introduced To Track Players And Transactions
March 8, 2016 by Kevin Samson
When events that were formally considered conspiracy theories become the foundation of popular culture, you know an entirely new reality is being created. The 5th bestselling board game in the world is now embracing the onset of the cashless society.
The war on cash in the real world is taking place on many fronts – from penalizing the holding of it through negative interest rates; eradicating large-denomination banknotes; surveillance of it through Suspicious Activity Reports; or outright banning larger transactions.
Perhaps recognizing that today’s children might very soon not understand how to even use cash – or maybe to help to speed up their education and acceptance – the Monopoly board game is certainly living up to its name by promoting a future of centralized bank surveillance and management. Fittingly, the new version calls itself “Ultimate Banking.”
Monopoly has always been a game of dominance through property acquisition, involuntary rent, and bankrupting the opposition to ultimately control every aspect of an economy. Its 100-year-plus popularity in more than 100 countries and nearly 40 languages speaks to its global role in either social commentary or social engineering.

Clamp Down On Cash Is The Ultimate Path To A Surveillance State
By Mac Slavo/SHTFplan.com March 08, 2016
The war on cash is more than just a currency war to clamp everyone down on the electric grid. It is also a war on your privacy, and the nail in the coffin for the free market of low level transactions.
Soon, restrictions on cash will become so severe that even spending $100 will arouse suspicion, despite the constant inflation on the value of such a denomination. One day, physical currency may become obsolete.
When that day comes, they will know everything you do.
Conducting transactions in anything but digital creds will be not only increasingly difficult, but seen as outright criminal behavior. It might even make you a terrorist.
Don Quijones argues on Wolf Street:
There are two sides in the global war against cash. On one side are many of the worlds governments, central banks, fintech firms, banks, credit card companies, telecommunication behemoths, financial institutions, large retailers, etc. According to them, the days of physical currency are numbered, so why not pull the plug already, beginning with the largest denomination bills such as the $100-note.
On the other side are people who like to use cash most of whom, according to the dominant official narrative, are either criminals or terrorists. After all, they must have something to hide; otherwise, why would they use a private, untraceable (not to mention archaic, dirty, dangerous and unhygienic) form of payment like cash?
Although it may seem like a foregone conclusion, cash still accounts for a majority of transactions in many European countries, and still factors in significantly in the U.S., though use of cash is in decline.
Many leaders overseas are calling out the moves to kill cash albeit in slow motion as nothing more than an attempt to impose a police state where every transaction, every purchase and every activity is monitored and databased.
Likewise, the use of cash is linked with terrorists and criminals, every bit as much as using pagers was linked with drug dealers in the pre-cell phone days.

I have spent time reading and studying the end of times. How does this not surprise me? I firmly believe that Milton Bradley, the maker of Monopoly has been corrupted by a society that is pushing for everything that is foretold in the Bible. There have been many signs of the end of times. This is a full confirmation that the end is near. We as Christians need to really dig in and lead as many as we can to the Lord before it's too late.

Think Cashless Society is So Great? Think Again, There is A Horrible Dark Side
By Ray Gano May 11, 2016
“Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” – Ben Franklin
FACT – Cash and economic freedom are inseparable, in fact freedom as a whole is inseparable.
To move to a cashless society may appear to make life easier, but also means a loss of freedom thus opening the doors to digital Totalitarianism.
So why do we still need to those pesky things called “dollar bills” ?
Without cash, totalitarianism is the next thing that will follow once a society accepts a cashless society.
Listen. I am going to be honest and say that I use pay pal and shop over the internet like thousands of other people. I think it is great and it is very convenient.
BUT… this enhanced convenience also means loss of control – cashless means automatic
Here is a great example…

The Sinister Side of a Cashless Society
By Jeffrey Folks September 2, 2016
Some on the left are proposing the elimination of currency bills larger than $10. This may seem like an insignificant matter, but if adopted, the proposal would be a giant step in the direction of totalitarianism.
By forcing Americans to use an electronic means of payment, government would gain the power to monitor and manipulate every aspect of one's finances. Washington would know what you buy, where and when you buy it, where you travel and eat, and whom you associate with. Granting government this kind of power is madness unless you're one of the political elite. They seem to be lining up in favor of a cashless society.
In a recent article, "The Sinister Side of Cash," Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff argued the case for drastically reducing the supply of cash currency – eliminating all bills above $10 and thereby forcing consumers and businesses to rely on electronic exchange. Rogoff claims that his plan would reduce money-laundering and thereby reduce crime while at the same time exposing tax cheats who deal in cash payments.
The elimination of large bills would also have the "advantage" of further enabling the central bankers to manipulate interest rates since holders of electronic funds could be more easily pressured by negative interest rates and other central bank schemes. Holding cash in a money market fund would produce a loss under negative rates; holding cash would not.
