Cash is Your Superpower! Use It
BY USING CASH, WE CAN STOP A CASHLESS SOCIETY OF CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE, SOCIAL CREDIT SCORE AND TOTAL CONTROL
In Ireland, and all over the world, governments and banks are trying to force people into a cashless society. This is a grave danger to all of us.
WE ARE THE 99% WE CAN STOP A CASHLESS SOCIETY
Take Action to Stop a Digital Prison
A Cashless Society, Digital ID, CBDC and Smart Cities, (facilitating a social credit score) with Controls on Free Speech and the World Health Organisation (WHO) Treaty will create a digital prison. Power and control will be in the hands of unelected privately funded bodies with constant surveillance and total control.
WE ARE THE 99% WE CAN STOP THIS
1. SMART CITIES/TOWNS/VILLAGES
Ireland has already signed up to smart cities/towns/villages
https://www.dublincity.ie/business/economic-development-and-enterprise/smart-cities
Smart cities/towns/villages work by mass surveillance, using sensors, cameras and tracking applications. The stated goal is to improve life but the reality is a nightmare control grid of digital ID, facial recognition, biometrics (fingerprints, eye scan etc), and being tracked 24/7. Cash will no longer be an option.
Data collected will be accessible to all big corporations involved. Dublin City Council have signed up with “Google, IBM, AT&T, Microsoft, Vodafone, Mastercard” etc.
This will create an electronic police state of discipline and punishments (like China).
Oxford City is now being divided into 15-minute zones. The number of times you can leave your zone is limited after which you pay a fine. Oxford is currently in full scale rebellion against this.

What Can You Do: Raise you concerns with TDs and councillors and attend local meetings about smart cities/towns/villages to resist their introduction
Freedom of Speech
Freedom of Speech is our most important right as it underpins all other freedoms.
The Irish government are trying to curtail free speech by introducing new hate speech legislation. We already have adequate hate speech legislation. These new laws will protect politicians, big business, bankers etc from facing opposition to their harmful policies as citizens whose speech is deemed unacceptable will be punished. Controlling free speech is one of the first steps towards a tyrannical regime. Remember that our ancestors died for our freedom.
What Can You Do: Read 1984 & Animal Farm. Raise your concerns with TDs and councillors and tell everyone what is happening.
Cash is legal tender in Ireland and must be accepted; it’s the only form of money that is accessible to all citizens, and guarantees privacy. At the World Government Summit 2022 it was noted that we are moving away from cash and towards a total digital economy. It is important to understand the pitfalls and dangers of a truly cashless society.
-
Refuse to use businesses that do not take cash and tell them why.
-
Use cash as much as possible.
-
Spread the word and ask your friends to join us.
-
Give cash instead of gift cards
-
Please make the effort; it’s well worth it. Few other things have the potential to erode freedom on such a massive scale as the elimination of cash!
CASH IS KING
-
Small businesses save money, keeping money and employment in the local economy, benefitting the community.
-
Cash flowing through the economy keeps local banks open.
-
It benefits tradespeople, gardeners, cleaners, childminders waiters, traders (crafts, festival, food) tutors etc
-
It keeps money local.
-
Church gate collections and sponsored fundraisers benefit.
-
Homeless people can get donations and buy food.
-
Victims of abuse can save up to escape.
-
You don’t need expensive software and devices.
WITHOUT CASH
-
Constant Surveillance, every purchase logged, so there is no privacy. Big brother knows your every movement.
-
Absolute power over you. Total surveillance. Sanctions for those who don't comply
-
You can be cut off from your own money if the government doesn’t like your behaviour (this has already happened in Canada, China and Australia ).
-
Government can dictate what kind of food you can buy and the quantity of meat, alcohol, fuel etc that you are allowed.
-
Peaceful protest will no longer be possible due to sanctions.(Canada recently froze peoples bank accounts for donati
-
No off-marketplace purchases, buskers, street food, farmers markets, arts and crafts fairs, boot sales, or street charity collecting.
-
No more money in birthday/communion cards.

No piggy banks, demise of the tooth fairy, no tips from relations.
-
No cash tipping, the only way to ensure waiters etc. get their tips.
.
-
Those without bank accounts, such as ethnic minorities are frozen out.
-
Many, such as older people and those who wish for a digital-lite life are already struggling; this will make their lives impossible.
-
You cannot take your money out of the bank if you fear a crash.
-
You are more at risk from fraud.
-
No place for those who like a digital-lite life
Are Digital Payments Safer than Cash?
In the UK in 2019 consumers lost £620 million between card, online banking and push payment fraud.

Many businesses are trying to force us to go cashless but some have now pulled back due to customer backlash showing that we can stop this
Big Brother
The Irish Minister for Health hired a surveillance company to remove posts that disagreed with the government, regardless of truth.
Independent T.Ds brought to light that the Minister for Health was paying for surveillance to spy on people. In scenes reminiscent of George Orwell's 1984 it was discovered that the Health Dept used the info provided by media company Kinzen to ask Facebook etc to remove any posts disagreeing with government policy regardless of whether they were true or not. This monitoring of the exercise of democratic free speech violated Human, Civil & Political Rights
https://gript.ie/revealed-5-months-of-kinzens-disinformation-digests/
In another twist to the story the Dept. of Health when requested to produce the relevant files claimed to have lost them.Digital ID.
DIGITAL ID, SOCIAL CREDIT SYSTEM & CBDC
What Can You Do: Use Cash & refuse to accept a Digital ID.
DIGITAL ID
At the moment it is very confusing with different IDs, some already in place and some imminent. It is very likely that these will all be joined together so that you have just one digital ID which will include everything.
a) EU Vaccine Passport for all EU countries, came into effect 1 July 2021, temporarily not being used in Ireland,
b) Global Vaccine Passport announced by the WHO (February 2022) this will replace the EU Vaccine Passport.
Everyone linked to a QR Code (initially Covid 19 vaccines; the WHO say it will later include other vaccinations & “ digital health initiatives."). This will mean frequent covid vaccines, and will be expanded to include other vaccines/medicines. Even more profit for Pharma.
https://www.politico.com/newsletters/global-pulse/2022/02/24/who-vaccine-passports-00011144
b) European Digital ID (announced in 2020 and currently moving ahead). All personal documents will be on your ID. It will be used for accessing public services, bank account, paying taxes, etc (initially voluntary it is likely to become mandatory).
Aside from security concerns this will give governments unprecedented control. Technology will no longer be your servant but your master.
A European Digital ID is on the way (announced in 2020). All your personal documents will be on it and it will be used for accessing public services, bank account, paying taxes, etc. Security and identity theft will be a big problem, think of the amount of online fraud there is currently and just imagine having ALL your personal documents on your phone.
A Digital ID is already mandatory in Ukraine (Diya app) and Latvia (eID) and has been introduced in France.
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/04/29/france-announces-digital-identity-app-days-after-macron-re-election/
BE PREPARED, THE GOVERNMENT MAY TRY TO FORCE A DIGITAL ID ON US (PERHAPS FOR FUEL RATIONING). JUST SAY NO, TOGETHER WE HAVE POWER.
A Step Closer to a Social Credit System
Former Interpol head Bjorn Eriksson warns that a cashless society will lead to inequality, and control of the people by autocratic governments. A cashless society and Digital ID would facilitate a social credit system, whereby people's purchases and interactions are monitored and rewards and sanctions are used to compel people to do whatever the government wants.
Could A Social Credit System be Introduced in Ireland?
This system needs a Digital ID and mass surveillance. An EU Digital ID is currently being introduced, this, combined with all transactions being digital means the systems are there to set it up if we don’t object.
Social Credit System
What Can You Do: Refuse to Accept/Use It.
A DIGITAL ID is needed for this points-based system (assessed by artificial intelligence). You are penalised for high carbon footprint, disagreeing with the government, delay in bill payment, too much socialising/fast food/alcohol etc. Penalties include bank loan/credit card refusal, limited access to public transport/cinemas/shops/good schools.
Social Credit Systems in Europe the USA & China
Social Credit systems are already in place in Europe and the USA and could eventually be mandatory. The vaccine passport was a type of social credit system. China, where people already live under this system, is a dystopian nightmare
.
Italy: https://thecountersignal.com/italy-could-be-first-eu-nation-with-social-credit-score/
USA: thehill.com/opinion/finance/565860-coming-soon-americas-own-social-credit-system/
England: nationalreview.com/2021/07/chinas-social-credit-system-arrives-on-british-shores/
In China the social credit system is well-established. Everything is tracked and rated to calculate your Social Credit Score.You lose points if you disagree with the government, delay your bill payment, socialise too much, purchase 'unsuitable’ quantities of fast food,alcohol, video games etc; a low score leads to bank loan/credit cardrefusal, less choice of schools for your kids, limited access to public transport, cinemas, theatres, public facilities, shops etc.
A Totally Digital Future is a Serious Concern
Governments will know everything about you and use that to control and sanction you. Carbon footprint will be measured by smart meters and purchasing and travel history; and sanctions such as not allowing you to buy more meat, petrol, tobacco or travel for pleasure could apply. Your credit score would be assessed by artificial intelligence and by a faceless, unaccountable authority.
The EU is currently working on a digital currency, this will give them even more control over your money.

We should be the masters not the slaves of our own money
Central Bank Digital Currency
This is being considered in almost every country in the world. This will eliminate cash and if programmable (already suggested by the Director of the Bank of England) will hand total power over your money to the state who can decide how much you can spend and what you can spend it on. Lockdowns showed how easy it is for the state to take power. CBDC ties in perfectly with a social credit system. Most countries now have biometric passports (a chip containing your fingerprint/iris scan etc and digital photo) which will also tie in with the CBDC/Social Credit System
