CASHLESSNESS

Banning cash so you pay the bank to hold your money is what the IMF wants

Government moves to ban cash transactions above $10,000, there's a theory gaining traction that the real motive for the cash ban isn't the so-called "black economy", but rather, to give authorities greater control over your behaviour during recessions.

THE ESCHATON

The last act of the human comedy

The Industrial Revolution, starting about 250 years ago, saw human beings extract fossil fuels by tapping into a hundred million years of sunlight stored in the form of coal and petroleum.
The energy from fossil fuels provided unparalleled wealth and military superiority to the planet’s industrialized north, which used its power to subjugate most of the rest of the globe to cheaply extract resources and abuse cheap labor.
The population rapidly climbed to over 7 billion. The air, water and ice have seriously degraded under the onslaught as the planet shifts from one climate to another, a climate that will no longer be hospitable to human habitation.
The only existential question left is how we will choose to wait out the finale. But to pose that question is to defy the cultural mania for hope, the yearning for collective self-delusion. If reality is grim, you banish it. You invent impossible scenarios of inevitable salvation. Which explains how we ended up where we are.

Travellers want to try facial recognition technology to pay

Commuters are willing to use facial recognition technology that charge them each time they get on and off their mode of transport.

The technology has already become part of everyday life in China — in some cities it is used to verify commuters’ identities through camera technology installed at train stations.

Visa’s and Stanford University’s new Future of Transportation: Mobility in the age of the Megacity report, quizzed more than 20,000 people in 19 countries including Australia and found 54 per cent of Australians would be willing to try facial recognition or bluetooth technology when commuting.

CASHLESSNESS

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
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.
Revelation 13:16-17 (KJV)

The Mark of the Beast may be getting closer with the rapidly growing acceptance of implanted microchips.

In Sweden, cash is almost extinct
... and people implant microchips in their hands to pay for things

Few countries have been moving toward a cashless society as fast as Sweden. But cash is being squeezed out so quickly — with half the nation’s retailers predicting they will stop accepting bills before 2025 — that the government is recalculating the societal costs of a cash-free future.

CONSCIOUSNESS

Pea plants conditioned like Pavlov's dog

A researcher has been breeding dissent from the science community with a series of experiments she believes proves that plants are making intelligent choices and listening to sounds.
Biological intelligence expert Monica Gagliano from the University of Sydney said it was possible to train plants in same way as a dog.
Dr Gagliano said her most “disturbing” find involved a fast-growing and climbing pea plant that developed a Pavlovian response.

Conspiracy theorist died after 'vomiting dark fluid'

Max Spiers, a British journalist who specialised in conspiracy theories UFO sightings, government cover-ups and paranormal phenomena, died after vomiting up dark fluid, an inquest has heard.
He was staying with his colleague Monika Duval in Warsaw, Poland when he fell ill in 2016.
Ms Duval provided a statement to the inquest that said Mr Spiers had complained to her about “satanic groups” being after him.
Mr Spiers' mother Vanessa Ms Bates told blogger Taj Gill her son had contacted her in the days leading up to his death with concerns about his well-being. She claimed he told her: “If anything happens to me, investigate.”
A British toxicologist said the amount of oxycodone in his system at the time of death was twice the normal amount.
