Globalists are taking full advantage of a fearful crisis
to promote a cashless world as a way to combat China's
coronavirus.
Removing cash from society takes all monetary power away
from citizens while giving it to central banks.

Coronavirus:
WHO 'urges' people to go 'Cashless'...
Following reports that Beijing had "quarantined" dirty cash,
the Federal Reserve is now doing the same out of fear that
dollars in circulation from Asia could contain Covid-19,
reported Reuters.
A Fed spokesperson told Reuters on Friday that,
"quarantining physical dollars that it repatriates from
Asia before recirculating them in the US financial
system" has begun.
The new
"precautionary measure" is to limit the transmission of the
virus in the US.
The spokesperson said the Fed regional bank system, with 12
total branches across the country, will help manage money
supply coming from Asia and quarantine dollars for upwards
of ten days before recirculation.
There were no specifics of how the dollars would be
sanitized.
Bear in
mind that even BEFORE the Covid-19 outbreaks, a 2014
study by researchers at New York University identified
3,000 types of bacteria on dollar bills due to how
widely and frequently they change hands.
The World Health Organization (WHO)
'warned' Monday that the virus could survive on banknotes,
potentially spreading the virus within communities and
across the world.
To
reduce the risk of 'being infected by money,' the NGO
advised citizens in countries struggling with outbreaks to
favor 'digital payments' when possible.
Past research has found that Covid-19 could live on surfaces
for as long as nine days.
It looks like
the Chinese started
something...
Following reports
that Beijing had "quarantined"
dirty cash,
the WHO 'warned' on Monday that the virus
could 'survive' on banknotes, potentially spreading
Covid-19 within communities, and
across the world.
To reduce the risk
of being infected by money, the NGO advised
citizens in countries struggling with outbreaks to favor digital
payments when possible, the
Daily Telegraph reported.
That the WHO is
telling the public to avoid cash is hardly a surprise:
research has
found that coronaviruses
have been found to live on surfaces for as long as 9 days.
During the
statement, a WHO spokesman referenced a Bank
of England study claiming that banknotes "can carry bacteria or
viruses" and urged people to wash their hands.
Other studies have
shown that 90% of US $1 bills had bacteria present, and one Swiss
study found that viruses had survive on the faces of Swiss francs
for days.
The WHO's warnings follow the
People's Bank of China last
month started disinfecting currency deposited at Chinese banks using
ultraviolet light, before quarantining the bills for a week before
releasing them back into circulation.
Brits, and their
fellow Europeans, should be increasingly careful as the virus
spreads across Europe, the WHO warned, via the Telegraph:
"We know that money changes hands
frequently and can pick up all sorts of bacteria and viruses," a
spokesman told the Telegraph.
"We
would advise people to wash their hands after handling
banknotes, and avoid touching their face. When possible, it
would also be advisable to use
contactless payments to
reduce the risk of transmission."
Of course, that one
of the world's major NGOs is seizing the opportunity to proclaim the
virtues of 'paperless' money is hardly a surprise:
the globalist
push toward a 'cashless society' has been underway for years
now, having had its biggest 'successes' in Scandinavia...
Sweden has gone
virtually "cashless", and in such a short time, they've
already confronted the many drawbacks of relying exclusively
on digital money..
As
we noted previously, here is what happens next:
...the virus spreads throughout
the US and Europe and governments respond the same way China's
government has:
martial
law and full blown concentration camp culture...
This would lead
to civil war in the U.S. because we are armed and many people will
shoot anyone trying to put us into quarantine camps.
Europe is
mostly screwed...
The establishment then suggests
that paper money be removed from the system because it is a
viral spreader. China
is already pushing this solution now.
Magically, we find ourselves in a
cashless society in a matter of a year or two, which is what the
globalists have been demanding for years.
Everything goes
digital, and thus even local economies become completely
centralized as private trade dies...
A viral outbreak is a significant
danger to us all, but an even greater threat is the supposed cure.
Trading our
economic and social freedom in the name of stopping the
coronavirus...?
No matter how
deadly the bug, it's just not worth it...
