A Cashless Society and the Mark of the Beast

It was recently announced that cash will no longer be accepted on the London Bus system and the use of plastic cards, which can be preloaded with credit, will be insisted upon. This follows on from a similar announcement in Kenya where public transport will also go cashless and switch to an electronic system of payment.  

The move towards cashless transactions is very much an increasing trend and governments throughout the world are pushing the idea of a “cashless society” i.e. a world where all payments are made electronically. Obviously, proper records will have to be kept and these will have to be readily available to all those concerned. Important and powerful, global organizations including the UN are involved but developments along these lines could have massive implications for individual freedom and privacy.

Supporters point to an obvious reduction in overheads by removing the need to produce/secure physical cash along with possible reduction in tax evasion, armed robbery and black market fraud. Critics are wary of governments operating in a George Orwell inspired world and being able to monitor every item of economic activity.  The NSA snooping story adds weight to these claims  

The debate continues but  some governments e.g. UK and Kenya are already working hard to reduce  the reliance on cash. The end objective, which may be years down the line, can only be an eventual end to all cash transactions and a world economy based digital commerce.

It has been portrayed as a natural progression and an example was a CNN feature on 2/7/14 called “The Evolution of a Cashless Society,”  which described the progress made by various countries. The eventual introduction of a cashless society was presented as inevitable and apparently the United States is at a “tipping point” while Canada, Belgium, France, Sweden, and others are “almost cashless.” Other countries are either at the “inception” or “transitioning.” 

In reality, the “trends” are not happening naturally and big business is playing a major role. Governments are driving the cashless society developments with taxpayers money and well funded foundations are joining in to build support. For example, in September 2012 the Ford Foundation, launched the "Better Than Cash Alliance" which describes  itself as a partnership "to empower people by shifting from cash to electronic payments." The partners include big business representatives like Visa and Citibank as well as the UN 

Maybe the move towards a cashless society is a natural progresssion or part of evolution but the arguments against are not being heard. If the trend continues, it seems that all transactions will eventually take place electronically and the need for cash will be eliminated but will the technology always work? Will we need a card for the bus, a card for the train and one for each store or will a universal payment system be developed? What if the card is mislaid?

Various systems are in development and a system using a mobile phone to make payments has been used successfully. Again a mobile phone can be mislaid and what happens then?Mobile phones are routinely used as tracking devices and an increase in their use can only make this more widespread

Some organisations have advocated the use of a human micro-chip with the eventual goal of each person having a device inserted under the skin and able to use it to provide identification and to make electronic payments. 

Maybe this is the path we'll follow but there is massive potential for making mischief. Do we really want to give the government the ability to track every physical and economic move we make? In a cashless society, a political opponent could be removed from the economy and he/she wouldn't be able to buy food. A power cut would cause absolute chaos

It might be the fulfilment of prophesy. Revelations 13:17 reads 

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name,”

The Bilderberg Group

The Bilderberg Group  is a private conference, held annually and attended by approximately 140 important people including politicians, academics and representatives from industry, finance and the media. Most participants come from Europe but there are representatives from North America and the name derives from the first meeting, held at the Hotel de Bilderberg in the Netherlands on 29th May 1954. The initial conference lasted for three days and was intended to bring the continents of Europe and America closer together. Since then, private Bilderberg Group meetings have occurred every year on a strictly invitation only basis and participants insist that the group is a harmless debating society or merely a forum for leaders to “listen, reflect and gather insights” free from official responsibility. 

Recent attendees include UK Conservative politicians George Osborne and Ken Clarke and UK Labour politicians Ed Balls and Peter Mandelson. They were joined by President of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso, Head of the IMF Christine Lagarde, former French Prime Minister Francois Fillon and two former US Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Timothy Geithner. Numerous other serving Prime Ministers, Foreign Ministers and Finance Ministers from influential European countries were in attendance and they were joined by Chairmen and CEOs from some of the world’s biggest businesses including Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Amazon, Google, Shell, HSBC, Lazard, Prudential and Alcoa. Billionaire founder of PayPal, Peter Thiel was also a recent attendee and current Bildeberg Chairman, Henri de Castries is also the head of insurance giant AXA. Both BP and Goldman Sachs have played a part in fund raising and organisation for recent events. 

Current UK Prime Minister David Cameron, who had previously pledged to lead Britain’s most transparent government, attended a Bilderberg Group meeting in Watford during June 2013. He described it as "nothing at all to worry about" but former politicians who have previously attended Bilderberg Group meetings have described them as the most important events they ever attended. They particularly enjoyed the freedom to speak off the record and the opportunity to take part in decisive  discussions about the future of Europe.

Is this realy true? Is the Bildeberg Group really a harmless debating society? Is it connected to the infamous Illuminati which was another similar organisation? Like the Bilderberg Group, the Illuminati involved a world wide network of powerful men in influential positions and rumours frequently circulated about their abiility to control world events. The Illuminati have a long established plan to install a world wide government or New World Order. Are the Bilderberg Group involved in this? 

Another Bilderberg Group meeting took place during May 2009 in Vouliagmeni, Greece. Alice Rivlin represented the Brookings Institution and she smiled and nodded when asked if the agenda items included “world government, a world without borders and an American Union.”  

This coincides with the Bilderberg/Illuminati plan but they have been repeatedly blocked by the reluctance of certain countries (notably the UK) to abandon nationalism and their past. The USA continues with its plans to expand the North American Free Trade Agreement throughout the American continent and beyond before it eventually establishes an American Union similar to the European Union. Is this part of the hidden agenda? Will the American Union and European Union eventually merge?

Meanwhile, the Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi has publicly stated that Italy will push for a "United States of Europe" during its six-month EU presidency. Is he a Bilderberg/Illuminati puppet? Has this been the plan all the time? Is this part of the plan to establish a New World Order? The Italians (and other countries) have massive debts and would be very easy to manipulate

 Maybe the ultimate aim is a world government under the control of the UN.

The Countdown to World War 3

All wars are planned in advance and we should be very suspicious about large financial and industrial organisations and their politician friends. They all make big profits from wars.

A nineteenth century U.S. Attorney and leading Freemason called Albert Pike predicted Three World Wars as a prelude to a world government or New World Order. His predictions have been very accurate so far and he suggested that World War 3 would begin in the Middle East. Albert Pike was also a leading member of a secret society called the Illuminati who long suspected of involvement in attempts to control world events. They have a long established plan to bring about a New World Order

Here are some possible stages for the planned World War 3 with the 9/11 terrorist attacks acting as a starting point. The list is not necessarily in chronological order and is not exclusive

The USA led invasion of Iraq in 2003 leads to widespread conflict with the entire Middle East region at war. This might be triggered by Iran but keep an eye on Islamic militants from Pakistan

Israel goes to war with the Arabs after a State of Palestine is established and the Israelis and Palestinians are fully separated from each other. A treaty could be imposed leading to a vicious attack by Israel on Palestine soon after. Look out for a world leader who emerges to coordinate this

Confrontations in the Far East could occur with a possible nuclear element and this might include China invading Taiwan. Be aware of opportunists who might look to gain an advantage from the confusion with North Korea and former Soviet states as likely candidates

Erosion of Confidence in long established democratic systems of government could occur which will be so severe that panic will be widespread and long held freedoms and civil liberties will be abolished.

The collapse of the USA economy could follow along with its system of morals and that of all other Western countries. The Constitution of the USA will no longer be enforceable and could be dissolved. The USA will no longer be in a position to show leadership on a world stage

Significant population reduction could occur caused by natural and man-made disasters

Who knows how World War 3 will end but the Illuminati first described their plans to create a New World Order in 1871 and their plans are now at an advanced stage. The Book of Revelations predicts that Israel will be very important and that an Antichrist will appear.

Peter Lemesurier wrote his book "The Armageddon Script" in 1981 and said

"Their script is now written, subject only to last-minute editing and stage-directions. The stage itself, albeit in darkness, is almost ready. Down in the pit, the subterranean orchestra is already tuning up. The last-minute, walk-on parts are even now being filled. Most of the main actors, one suspects, have already taken up their roles. Soon it will be time for them to come on stage, ready for the curtain to rise. The time for action will have come."

Albert Pike and the Illuminati

The Illuminati were a secret society, formed in Bavaria in 1776, originally opposed to superstition, prejudice and a controlling religious influence. Their name means the enlightened ones and they were outlawed in 1785 but rumours have persisted ever since about their alleged attempts to control world affairs.

Giusseppe Mazzini was an Italian Freemason who became world-wide Illuminati leader in 1834 and he recruited a U.S. attorney and fellow Freemanson called Albert Pike.

Albert Pike was a Confederate Officer during the U.S. Civil War and was arrested for treason in 1866. He was released the next day by fellow Freemason, President Andrew Johnson who received him at the White House soon after. Pike is the only Confederate Officer with a statue on federal property in Washington DC

Mazzini and Pike developed the idea of the Illuminati as a secret society within the Freemasons with membership available to any high ranking member who proved himself worthy. They established an organised network involving members thoroughout the world including North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa with prominent participants including important leaders such as Lord Palmerston and Otto von Bismark

When Mazzini died in 1872, Pike appointed an Italian banker called Adriano Lemmi to run subversive activities for the Illuminati in Europe. Lemmi was succeeded by Lenin and Trotsky and then by Stalin. These European subversive activities were financed by prominent international bankers mainly based in Germany, France and Great Britain but were dominated by the House of Rothschild.

Pike (who also founded the Luciferian Society) was committed to the idea of one world government and he devised a strategy, involving three world wars and various world wide revolutions, which he considered necessary to bring it about.

In a letter, written to Mazzini and dated August 15, 1871, Pike outlined his to bring about a New World Order and it is amazing how accurately events were predicted that have since taken place.

"The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the "agentur" (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions."

It is easy to recognise the political alliances in place at the time with Great Britain and Germany on different sides. These alliances were developed by Otto von Bismark between 1871 and 1898 and were major factors in the run up to World War 1.

"The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International Communism must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the final social cataclysm."

After World War 2, the Communist U.S.S.R became strong enough to invade weaker surrounding countries. In 1945, at the Potsdam Conference between the victorious allied leaders, it was agreed that a large part of Europe would be handed over to the U.S.S.R without any need for fighting. In Asia, the defeat of Japan helped the rise of Communism in China.

It is important to remember that the Illuminati invented both the Nazi and Zionism movements. Communism originated in France during the Revolution and the term was first used by Restif a few years before. Restif was heavily influenced by another Illuminati conspirator Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion. "

"We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. "

"This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

Terrorists attacked the World Trade Centre on September 11th 2001 and the world has become increasingly unstable since then. The Middle East has suffered from particular instability between Israel and the Arabs for many, many years and this can only increase. Albert Pike's prediction of a third World War fought between these two groups and their allies is entirely feasible and recent events indicate that it might not far off.

Three World Wars

Many famous people including ex-Presidents have been very suspicious about the motives of some large financial institutions in the run up to major wars. Similar comments have been made about the roles played by military personnel.

It estimated that over 2 million Vietnamese died during the Vitenam war. During World War I and World War 2, tens of millions of people died and whole countries were decimated. The U.S.A. dropped atomic bombs on the civillian population of both Nagasaki and Hiroshima, killing tens of thousands of people and giving many more cancer through subsequent fallout. Every year, we honour all the people killed for the bravery shown and their willingness to defend and protect our “freedoms”

Has anything been achieved? Has it been a huge lie?

Consider this hypethetical scenario

For more than a century, a small, global network of rich men have been in control of governments around the world. They have been able to control who is in power, what policies are pursued and what wars are fought. Meanwhile, the same rich men use the mass media (controlled by them) to distribute propaganda designed to set one created enemy against another. As a result, the small number of rich men, make very large sums of money when large financial instituations (controlled by them) lend money with interest to governments to pay for wars.

Is this totally inconceivable?

Think about Switzerland? It has never been invaded, it has very strong links with the Vatican and even provide the Vatican police force. The worlds largest bank is based there, it has extreme secrecy laws and it is home to the House of Rothschilds.

Giusseppe Mazzini, Albert Pike and Adriano Lemmi were members of a secret society called The Illuminati with links to The Freemasons and The Catholic Church.  The Illuminati were linked to a range of subversive activities financed by a group of international bankers from Great Britain, Germany and the U.S.A. This group was dominated by the House of Rothschild.

In a letter, written to Mazzini on August 15th 1871, Pike described plans for three world wars which he thought were necessary to bring about the a New World Order. It is amazing how accurately events were predicted that have since taken place.

“The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a fortress of atheistic Communism. The divergences caused by the “agentur” (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to destroy the other governments and in order to weaken the religions.”
