How to Protect and Preserve Your Freedom, Identity and Privacy

By Dr. Vernon Coleman/vernoncoleman.org

I have been concerned about the disappearance of cash for some years.

Here is what I wrote in 2006 for my book called: How to protect and preserve your freedom, identity and privacy.

‘There was a time when shopkeepers welcomed cash payments. No more. In most countries it is now illegal to pay more than small bills with hard currency. Try to pay with cash and you may well find that your offer is refused. Even if your cash is accepted, the chances are growing that your suspicious behaviour will be reported to the authorities. Cash is no longer king.

Why?

Simple.

People who pay by cash are able to move around relatively anonymously. They don’t leave a paper trail of receipts behind them.

The authorities don’t like that. They like to know where we all are. Plastic money puts us all in the power of the bureaucrats. They can find us whenever they want to find us. They can see where we’ve been, where we are and where we are going. They can see what we’ve spent and what we’ve spent it on.
