| CENTRAL BANKERS NEVER GET IT RIGHT |
| Central bank heads have been at it again last week. And they have clearly all been singing from the same hymn sheet. The messages have been very similar from the bosses of the Fed, ECB and BOJ. The head of the Swedish Riksbank had a different and much more interesting message. More about that later.
Why should we ever listen to any of these self-important central bankers. They are consistently inaccurate in their forecasts and policies. Their timing is always wrong as they are always behind theFriday, March 9, 2018 |

| As we have been saying the bankers will not allow the absolute source of their power to be taken without a major fight. We have also been screaming the whole “bitcoin” and cryptocurrency scene that has developed over the past year or so was by design and part of a much larger “assimilation program” to get as many eyes as possible on cryptocurrencies as to create a global conversation. Well done!! Worked like a charm.

| "Sorry, we’re not taking cash or checks," said the clerk at the Fed Ex counter over a decade ago to an intern. "Only credit cards."
Since then the relentless intensification of coercive commercialism has been moving toward a cashless economy, when all consumers are incarcerated within a prison of corporate payment systems from your credit/debit cards to your mobile phone and very soon facial recognition.

| The Bank Wouldn’t Accept My Cash |
| Dear Subscribers, I wanted to share a valuable experience with you that occurred to me yesterday at a prominent bank that has ‘America’ in it’s name. I went to make a deposit into a subcontractors account to pay for labor. As I normally do, I went to into the bank to pay him from my debit card via cash advance. I do not have an account with the said bank. I have all of his correspondence and filled out the deposit slip, and was informed that the transaction would not be accepted.

– fewer and fewer people understand the importance of using cash to
protect themselves from an overarching government warlord. At the time,
China’s use of digitized currency was growing at about 40% per annum.
This means millions of people each year freely hand over their cash and

| Is Britain ready to go cashless UK heads toward abolishing physical money |
| The replacement of the forgery-prone old 1-pound coin, supposed to be fully implemented from tomorrow night, has sparked fresh speculation about how rapidly Britain is heading toward a new epoch in the history of spending -- the outright abolition of all physical cash.
A report published this week puts Britain second in Europe and third in the world in its readiness to "go cashless." Only Canada and Sweden are closer than Britain to abandoning notes and coins, the report found.
