“War on Cash” Full Force
Ahead… Is Cash Soon to Be Outlawed? What You Can Do to Prepare…
The U.S. government views cash – paper currency and
coins – as an enemy. How else to explain their ongoing “War on Cash”?
Recently, FBI agents raided a convenience store and took $107,702 right from the owner’s bank
account. His alleged “crime”? Making two cash deposits of $11,400 in
24 hours.
The FBI told him this
violated federal “structuring” laws, so under civil asset forfeiture
laws, they had the “right” to seize the money in his account.
This isn’t an isolated case. Civil asset forfeiture laws have already been used extensively
to seize cash from Americans.
All It Takes Is Suspicion…
The worst part: You don’t have to commit an actual
crime. In the eyes of the government, suspicion is the same as guilt.
Plus, civil asset forfeitures – also known as “policing for profit” – is fully endorsed
and supported by the United States government.
Before she replaced Eric Holder as the new Attorney
General, Loretta Lynch was a champion of civil asset forfeiture. In fact,
her U.S. attorney’s office seized
$904 MILLION in cash and private property in just one year.
Lynch is now the head of the Department of Justice,
which means she has even more power
to facilitate seizures and continue the War on Cash.
Why the Government Hates Cash
The government hates cash because it’s difficult to control, difficult to track
and difficult to tax.
The punishment for “excessive” use of cash takes
different forms. On a federal
level, it’s civil asset forfeiture. But on a state level,
legislators have used other methods to tighten the screws.
Legal Tender? Not in This
State!
Did you know Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal signed a law that OUTLAWS the use of cash
in second-hand transactions?
On the books since 2011, this ridiculous anti-cash law applies to dealers who buy or
sell used items more than once a month. As such, it affects antique
dealers, flea market sellers, and even folks who buy and sell used goods on
eBay or Craigslist.
New Law Would Create “Cashless
Society”
Over in Denmark, they’re considering a new law that
would allow stores to reject cash and demand electronic payment instead.
Some believe this could be the
first step toward outlawing cash and creating a new “cashless
society.”
What would be the goal of such a move? Nothing less than
complete government control
over money, including how and when it’s spent.
There’s a good chance this could happen right here in
America. As Ron Paul has warned, “The
cashless society is the IRS’s dream: total knowledge of, and control
over, the finances of every single American.”
