Lately, some of my online friends have been complaining a lot about US President Donald Trump's intentions to do away with the American copper penny. As such, I thought that I should throw in my own two cents worth -- pun intended -- so following are my personal thoughts regarding the matter, and a lot more. I hope you will find my perspective interesting and educational. To begin with, quite frankly, I am of the opinion that pennies should have been done away with a long time ago. I mean, really think about it. In reality, they serve very little real purpose, and all they do is add extra weight in one's pocket, right?
However, more importantly, it is my personal opinion that copper pennies are simply used by the greedy, money-minded merchants as a silly scheme and a manipulative, psychological ploy to convince people that they are getting a great deal on something. In other words, they're deceptively used to create a mental false impression in people's minds. As an example: "Just $9.99, folks! Get it while it lasts!" Seriously! Isn't that just ridiculous?! I mean, my gosh, just say what you mean and be honest about it! That item costs $10.00, plain and simple, right? Do you really feel any better because you got that product for $9.99 instead of for $10.00 even? Of course not! So why are you going along with their game?
Now, based on some online comments I have read, part of the uproar seems to be over the belief that retiring the American copper penny is a small step towards creating the anticipated cashless society. Well, my friends, for starters, the penny is NOT even a global currency, so I seriously doubt that it will have any effect or impact on creating a global cashless society. I mean absolutely no effect whatsoever. Even within the United States, eliminating the copper penny will have a minimal effect. The world is not going to end, and the U.S. economy is not going to crash, if the penny is eliminated.
I think it is also important to point out to some of you that the cashless society is ALREADY here! Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the mechanisms for creating such a cashless society are ALREADY in place now, meaning all of the required technological steps have already been taken. If you really think about it, the only thing that is really lacking is for the behind-the-scenes manipulators of this world to drop the financial floor out beneath our feet. Furthermore, when they do that, they are NOT going to do it piecemeal.
In other words, my friends, I doubt that they are going to retire the penny first, wait a while -- perhaps x number of years -- then remove the nickel from US circulation, wait a few years again, followed by the dime, etc. No, my friends. I believe that they are going to do it all at once, because they will want to use the elements of shock and surprise to force you to accept their new system. If paper bills and coinage are just suddenly removed from circulation, you will have no choice but to embrace their cashless society. Now doesn't that sound like a more effective way of doing it?
But getting back to President Trump, as I point out in some of my other articles, such as "Is Elon Musk the Antichrist?" as well as "It Is Time to Wake Up!", I believe that one of the primary reasons why some of these misguided Christians are making such an uproar over Trump's intentions to remove the copper penny from circulation, is simply because they have convinced themselves through a faulty interpretation of certain prophetic Bible verses, that Donald J. Trump is the infamous Beast -- or Antichrist -- who is mentioned in the Book of Revelation, and elsewhere.
As many of you will already know, the Apocalypse informs us that the Beast and his spiritual companion -- who is known as the False Prophet -- enforce an economic system whereby no one can buy or sell unless they willingly receive what is commonly referred to within Christian circles as the MOTB, or the Mark of the Beast. Allow me to share these well-known verses with you:
"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. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."
Revelation 13:16-18, KJV
"And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."
Revelation 14:9-11, KJV
"And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God."
Revelation 15:2, KJV
"And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image."
Revelation 16:2, KJV
"And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."
Revelation 19:19-21, KJV
"And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years."
Revelation 20:4, KJV
Being as the central theme of this article really isn't about the Mark of the Beast, I'm not going to spend any time trying to explain what I personally believe the previous verse set means. I have already written quite a few BBB articles where I share my personal perspective regarding this issue, so I invite you to read them, if you like. But as I was saying, by pointing to President Trump's intentions to remove the penny from circulation, and saying that doing so is a step towards creating a cashless society, these misguided Christians are convinced that they have provided proof that Trump is the Antichrist. After all, it is the Beast -- or Antichrist -- who introduces the Mark of the Beast. So do you understand how their thinking works?
However, aside from the fact that I am personally convinced that Trump is NOT the Antichrist, there are other reasons why I believe that trying to pin the cashless society on Donald J. Trump alone is really misguided, and paints a rather false narrative. You see, the fact of the matter, as many oldsters like myself know, is that the scheme to create a cashless society is something the behind-the-scenes manipulators have been working on for literally decades through many different US presidents. If you doubt that this is so, then I ask you to please continue reading.
The truth of this matter is that the financial scheme to set up a cashless society began when U.S. currency was taken off of the silver standard by the Coinage Act of 1873 during the administration of President Ulysses S. Grant, and then placed on the gold standard instead. However, in 1933 during the FDR -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt -- administration, U.S. currency was temporarily taken off of the gold standard in order to prevent a run on the banks during the Great Depression. FDR demanded that all gold coins, certificates and bullion be turned in to the Federal Reserve at the exchange rate of $20.00 an ounce. It eventually increased to $35.00 an ounce.
Then in 1971, President Richard Milhous Nixon announced that US dollars would no longer be exchanged for gold at a fixed rate, thus effectively ending US currency being on the gold standard. Then in 1974, President Ford signed legislation which made it possible for Americans to once again own gold bullion, such as the popular gold Krugerrand. However, while U.S. citizens can own gold again, nevertheless, you can no longer take all of your dollar bills down to your local bank and exchange them for real silver or gold bullion, due to what President Nixon did in 1971.
Thus, U.S. currency became what is known as fiat money. In other words, what is in circulation today is fake, worthless money which only has value as long as citizens retain faith in their government, and in the overall very powerful Federal Reserve central banking system which regulates the system. As I point out in some of my other Bill's Bible Basics articles, such as "Welcome to Greater Israel, USA!", for literally four decades straight, the Federal Reserve Board had Jews as its chairperson. For example, Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan and Janet Yellen were all Jews, and many chairs before them were of Jewish lineage as well.
Now, to be fair, and to add a degree of balance to my words, let me also say that in more recent decades it is also true that since that 40-year span where the Federal Reserve Board was under almost complete Jewish control, there have also been a few Catholics and Protestants who have served as the chair. The current Chair of the Board of Governors is Jerome H. Powell, who happens to be a Roman Catholic.
At any rate, as I was explaining a moment ago, trust me when I say that there is NOT nearly enough gold bullion in Fort Knox to cover all of the dollar bills which are currently in circulation today within the USA. It is a fantasy to believe otherwise. So again, U.S. currency is fiat money. It's really only worth something as long as you personally believe that it is worth something. The minute that the populace as a whole loses that faith, the system will come crashing down! Or perhaps it will purposely be made to crash. Think about that!
But to continue, are you aware of what else happened along the way? While the first general purpose credit card was introduced in 1950 -- it was the Diners Club card -- it was not really until the 1960s that credit cards began to gain traction. However, it was particularly in the 1970s -- after U.S. currency was removed from the gold standard -- and even more so in the 1980s, that plastic credit cards really began to become popular and ubiquitous.
As we are all aware, today, many people own multiple credit cards, and digital money -- where actual physical money no longer even exchanges hands -- is widespread. Sadly, as many people discovered only too late, it was in reality a very subtle but surefire financial trap which had been devised by the International Jewish Bankers themselves. If you doubt that this is so, consider the following Bible verse that is found in the Book of Proverbs. It perfectly reveals Jewish thinking. This same mentality is found in the pages of the Babylonian Talmud as well:
"The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender."
Proverbs 22:7, KJV
My friends, in short, the entire US financial system -- and in fact, the entire global financial system -- is now just a series of digital ones and zeroes located on the hard drives of national computer systems, and global digital financial networks. As I have said before, I personally find this to be very dangerous for several reasons. For one thing, online banking reduces accountability, because it is all basically invisible. There are no real physical exchanges with paper bills and coinage. It can be easily manipulated because it is out of sight, and thus out of mind.
If you doubt that this is so, then as I explain in "Is Elon Musk the Antichrist?", consider how Elon Musk's DOGE team is currently discovering literally millions and millions of dollars in taxpayer money that has been very poorly managed, intentionally misappropriated and wastefully used to support liberal projects and causes which were popular with the Joe Biden administration. It was all purposely hidden from the public eye.
The second reason why I find the digital banking system to be so dangerous, is simply because it is also an extremely vulnerable system, being as it is computer-based. I am sure that some of you are already aware of this. For those of you who may not be, imagine a very powerful CME -- Coronal Mass Ejection, or solar flare -- frying all computer systems and networks. All of that wealth -- and your personal credit and money -- would disappear just like that! In a matter of mere seconds, you would be as poor as a pauper! Your financial assets would be wiped out, and your life would be ruined!
Now, if that very real potential scenario is not enough to seriously alarm you, then imagine an enemy nation such as Russia, China, North Korea or Iran exploding several nukes high in the atmosphere over the continental United States. In case you are not aware of it, the resulting EMPs -- or Electro-Magnetic Pulses -- would basically have the same effect as the aforementioned solar flare.
In other words, my friends, all electronics would be fried in just a matter of seconds, and the digital U.S. financial system would totally crash and come to a standstill. There would no doubt be national economic disarray and confusion everywhere. Furthermore, I imagine that we would be forced to go back to manual cash registers, paper receipts, etc., like when I was a kid. In such a scenario, it is probable that bartering goods would become popular again as well.
The final reason why I am very concerned about our current digital banking system is because as many of us are aware, credit cards are hackable; and thanks to online businesses which don't take online security seriously -- and thus do not dedicate enough resources to it -- credit card numbers are often and widely stolen online by hackers and scammers, and then sold to the highest bidder. So that is another way in which your personal financial assets can disappear from your online account -- and thus from your life -- just like that! Now, of course, as many of us know, those manipulative behind-the-scenes financial controllers know that they need a newer, safer, less vulnerable system.
As I explain in some of my other articles, and as many of you are already quite aware, these financial manipulators are already working on just such a system. In some of my other Bill's Bible Basics articles, I discuss topics such as the VeriChip RFID chip, Digital Angel, invisible RFID ink, Quantum Dots, Neuralink's Brain Computer Interface -- BCI -- chips and more. I encourage you to read some of them when you have the time. For now though, allow me to share one of my original songs with you called "Bills and Biochips".
