The possible ramifications of the dollar's recent decline to historic lows truly makes one's head swim. No one knows exactly what will happen as a result of the current upheavals in the world's economic system.
However, a few possibilities concerning how those who seek power and wealth might use this situation to gain complete control of the world's wealth have occurred to me.
Do not be deceived, "…the love of money is the root of all evil;…". Since ungodly men are motivated by the lusts of the flesh, we can say with all certainty that those who lust after power and money are seeking to gain every advantage over others.
There is the very real possibility that an economic collapse will present them with the perfect opportunity to reach their goal. An economic collapse, coupled with the technology of today, could yield a global economic system which will have a single cashless electronic currency and an airtight system of inventory control.
Once these are in place it will be possible to control every individual's ability to buy and sell. The new system will hold all "money" in its computers and a person's access to their wealth can be granted or denied by those who control the system. The ability to sell will also be controlled by the use of an airtight RFID system of inventory control. All production, distribution and sale of goods and services will be absolutely controlled.
A currency collapse would provide the convincing "reason" for a transition to a completely cashless monetary system. Since coins and paper notes would be worthless, why not implement an electronic global monetary system? The advantages, we would be told, are without number. Security, stability and convenience would appeal to individuals as well as businesses.
A cashless electronic currency would eliminate the expense of printing paper money and manufacturing coins, both of which wear out and must be replaced, again with considerable expense.
Also, there would no longer be competing currencies in the global market place. No need for currency exchange when traveling or conducting business abroad. No more fluctuating values of the world's many currencies. The advantages are myriad, but the "good" will be eclipsed by the evil.
This system will enable tyrants to impose their will upon every person. Once they control the ability to buy or sell they can say, "Submit, or die."
Those who control the New Economic Order will be able to confiscate the wealth of others at will. Those whose wealth is in this system will be unable to resist.
"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Naturally speaking, the steps that are taking us into the cashless/RFID economic system seem to be result of consumers demanding more convenience and greater security. Another contributing factor would appear to be the business sector desiring greater efficiency. Greater efficiency means greater profits.
It is believed by many that these things can be achieved by having a new economic system which will have no physical currency (paper money, coins or checks). Instead, every person will have an RFID identifier, without which they will not be able to buy or sell.
Every item that is produced and sold will have an RFID chip so it can be inventoried and tracked all the way to the end user. No one must be permitted to sell any item unless it is "tagged" with an RFID chip.
An implanted microchip in the right hand or forehead will not only be used for the positive identification of every person on earth, but without it an individual will not be able to access their "money". They will not be allowed to buy or sell anything. One who refuses the implanted chip will be an economic non-entity.
With the further development of RFID technology we will soon see the day when every item that is produced or offered for sale will have a serial number. This will enable those who would rule over us to have an air-tight system of inventory control. How would this work? Well, with a record of all things that are available for consumption, items will be distributed only to those who are deemed "worthy" by the masters.
The ability to trace every item is essential for controlling the ability to sell. An item that has a serial number can be traced from the producer to the consumer. This all but eliminates the possibility of a black market. A black market cannot be tolerated because it might be used to supply life's basic necessities to those who refuse to submit.
If someone is found to possess an item that is not directly traceable to them, then they must answer to the authorities as to how they came to acquire it. "Did you steal it? Did you engage in bartering? Did someone give it to you? You know that all of these activities are forbidden."
If another individual's goods are scanned and they do not have in their possession an item that the system says they should, then they better be able to prove that they have not engaged in bartering, or that they have not given the item to one who has been declared an economic non-entity.
The cashless / RFID economic system will be the perfect weapon with which the oppressors will conquer and rule the world. It will also provide tyrants with the means by which they can reward their friends and destroy their enemies. (source)
The first, and most important, preparation
We never know what emergency may befall us during which we may not be able to obtain food or drink. The emergency may be loss of job or inability to work due to accident or illness. This may result in a situation where financial resources to purchase food would not be available or may be decreased appreciably. Natural catastrophe such as flood, earthquake or storms may result in temporary inability to distribute food to supermarkets. Under these conditions even having money to purchase food does not mean it can be obtained.
Even in the United States each of the above conditions occurs occasionally. Because of the possibility of such emergencies the Civil Defense recommends storing food and drink adequate for your family’s needs for a two-week period. Certain church organizations have recommended their members “Have on hand a year’s supply of food, fuel, clothing and where possible money.”
A food storage program is essential to provide for ourselves and our family members in an emergency. The biggest motivator most adults have is to avoid hearing a hungry child cry. Even the most “macho” man is distraught if he cannot provide food or beverage to prevent a child from suffering.
People are born with the innate desire to survive, but sadly, many in our increasingly dependent society look to others for relief and assistance following a disaster. The fact is that help from government, family, or neighbors is often unavailable when needed most, and in the end you may have only yourself to count on. Do you know what to do and how to do it if disaster strikes?
There is still time for you to prepare, but you have to start learning how to make your own survival foods as soon as humanly possible. The best way to do it is to get the inside scoop on how to do it right. Fortunately, there is a way to get twenty years worth of The Lost Ways. This new food storage system is called The Lost Ways. You do not need a lot of expensive equipment to store foods for a crisis using the methods taught here. Even better, The Lost Ways pays for itself quickly as you begin to put away garden produce or even meats that you buy on sale. For most folks it's simply the biggest bargain of their lives. You can finally become self-sufficient and any extra money saved in food expense goes right back to your pocket. Frankly, at the end of the day, The Lost Ways actually makes you money! What's more, the videos take you by the hand, step by step, through the entire process of "putting away" almost any food you can think of. It's very much like having a food storage professional right there with you every step of the way.
Books can be your best pre-collapse investment.
