Hey now, don't discount the butcher bill. Just take the money and run, eh?
What are we, helpless?

Everyone knows Cash is King but what happens when the Man comes around and bans it? So what, you say, gleefully tapping your cheery little plastic digital id on the nearest Starbucks payment scanner. So what? So a lot.
Say, by way of wild conjecture, that you're a Canadian trucker who protests against the government in Ottawa, which is a kind of town in Ontario. The government doesn't like this and tells your bank to freeze your account. Hey presto, all of a sudden that happy little card doesn't work any more and guess what, you can't buy anything. No, don't even think of cashing your paycheck because you can't, there is no cash. Look at you, unperson.
Again, try to imagine a scenario in which you're a political figure in England, say, Nigel Farage, and you're saying things against the ruling political class, let's call it the Uniparty. How very brave. Sorry, buddy, Coutts & Co. have debanked you and good luck paying for anything with all the paper you've hidden under the mattress, traitor.
You get the point, whether you agree with the truckers, Farage or anyone else, and the point is this: A cashless society opens the way to tyranny and it's just a step away from CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) in which all your spending is under government scrutiny. Of course we all know that'll be utterly benign.
On point, I was shocked last time I was in London (UK, not Ontario) to see how hard it was to purchase anything with cash. Notable exceptions were Cordings in Piccadilly, who loved it, and a coffee stand outside Embankment station, Blues and Royals, I think. More shocking still was the reaction of some of my friends, erstwhile and present anarchists no less, they didn't seem to see the issue. Scotland was better, but still.
I tell you, we're sleepwalking into something bad here, a tyrannous digital cattle pen. Perhaps Texas needs to issue its own gold backed currency by way of leading the world to freedom and fiscal sanity?
Just a thought,

Far-sighted readers of this kebab stand on the information superhighway influential mind blog will remember that Team LSP did the polling, crunched the numbers and came up with a disturbing result. Yes, super talented, big yellow taxi, millionaire celebrity socialist Joni Mitchell is, in fact, a Devil Witch.
Here, let's follow the science.
Whoa. The polling data's pretty damning, what a Devil Witch. And think, it all started so innocently, in Laurel Canyon, with our old friends, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. There they were, stardust, golden, but not now, oh no. Too busy shilling for the Man, Big Pharma, and that sweet, sweet ca$h.
That in mind, you can see how 2013's poll data's on an exponential curve to devilry upside and Joni doesn't disappoint. She's leaving Spotify to join her old partner in crime, Neil Young, aka Idiot. Get the vax, serfs, the Devil Witch tells us, or you won't be able to listen to my awesome music, you'll have to hear Joe Rogan instead.
Oh dear, what a tragedy, and what can we say? With Wild, "Hey, hey, lost my Spotify." In 2019 there were over 100 million people on Spotify. Now they're missing out on Neil and Joni.
Oh well,
LSP
Super talented awesome pop star Neil Young, as in old man take a look at your life, has blasted alt-celeb Joe Rogan, telling the famous ball-cap wearing podcaster to get off Spotify or "he will." What? Old Shaky's gonna take all his music off Spotify unless Rogan stops defying the COVID narrative?
Something like that. At one point Neil Young was a standard bearer for a movement which threatened to crush the establishment, which stuck it to the Man. And now? OBEY ME OR GET CENSORED.
Which makes us ask, was Neil a two-bit Stalinist all along? What can I say, down by the river.
Friends,

Alongside decayed roués with dubious means of subsistence and of dubious origin, alongside ruined and adventurous offshoots of the bourgeoisie, were vagabonds, discharged soldiers, discharged jailbirds, escaped galley slaves, swindlers, mountebanks, lazzaroni, pickpockets, tricksters, gamblers, maquereaux [pimps], brothel keepers, porters, literati, organ grinders, ragpickers, knife grinders, tinkers, beggars — in short, the whole indefinite, disintegrated mass...No! Karl Marx wasn't describing the Church of England's General Synod, or even Neil Young, but what about the American political class and their media servants? ZeroHedge thinks so and I like this:
This is why the media is as much the class enemy of the working class as the incestuous, corrupted and corrupting pool of swindlers, fakes, apparatchiks, lobbyist/brothel keepers and grifters that populate Washington, D.C.But there's plenty more. You can read the whole thing here and add it to the growing list of literature on the Trump phenomenon.
Nice outfits, guys. |
