The Mark of the Beast is not too far away.

this is the only time in history ; technologically can be done.

Cashless ; and to track every purchase but also

TURN OFF your ability to buy as well.

Control freaks are coming

If I am paying for groceries with a 100 dollar bill; the cashier sometimes looks at me funny 
and inspects the dollar

But no one has verbally asked me

Yeah its fucking scary isn't it.  And it's been heading that way for a long time.  Not something that's just happened.  A little nudge here, another little push there.

Incrementalist totalitarianism.

Yeah, you're damn right I don't want the government knowing I spent £1.85 this week on 2 packets of custard creams and a packed of bourbon biscuits, none of their f'ing business!  If I lose that right to keep which biscuits I choese to eat on a weekly basis, and how many of them, which brand, and which store I bought them from, then it's over.

Thats purely an extremely trivial example of course.

However, we can't just let this kinda shit happen to us.

Original Message Today I was in a large department store here in the uk and I was asked why I was paying cash!! I asked the cashier why she was asking me she said it was part of a survey they were doing! We're moving one step closer to a cashless society!!!!!
