Third, the war on cash is about giving the government the ultimate control of the economy and complete access to the citizenry's pocketbook.
Fourth, every technological convenience that has made our lives easier has also become our Achilles' heel, opening us up to greater vulnerabilities from hackers and government agents alike.
Fifth, if there's one entity that will not stop using cash for its own nefarious purposes, it's the U.S. government. Cash is the currency used by the government to pay off its foreign "associates."
Sixth, this drive to do away with cash is part of a larger global trend driven by international financial institutions and the United Nations that is transforming nations of all sizes, from the smallest nation to the biggest, most advanced economies.
Finally, short of returning to a pre-technological, Luddite age, there's really no way to pull this horse back now that it's left the gate. While doing so is near impossible, it would also mean doing without the many conveniences and advantages that are the better angels, if you will, of technology's totalitarian tendencies: the internet, medical advances, etc.
To our detriment, we have virtually no control over who accesses our private information, how it is stored, or how it is used. Whether we ever had much control remains up for debate. However, in terms of our bargaining power over digital privacy rights, we have been reduced to a pitiful, unenviable position in which we can only hope and trust that those in power will treat our information with respect.
Clearly, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, we have come full circle, back to a pre-revolutionary era of taxation without any real representation.
