Cash IS king, even beyond the media induced fear porn threat of electrical blackouts.. at least for anyone who is even mildly concerned by the WEF's so called Great Reset.

Or even just for anyone who wants any degree of autonomy - because they sure as heck won't have any of that if we allow a wholly digitised monetary system to eradicate the use of cash.

I mean, ask yourself, is your social credit score going to be high enough that the government will grant you permission to spend on whatever you want? Or do you maybe just maybe eat a bit too much junk food? Drink a little bit too much wine? Drive too frequently (look at what they're trying to implement in Oxford as we speak)? Will big brother perhaps need to 'guide' you into 'correct' behaviour by way of restriction?

Personally I use cash as often as I can, I - like many others - boycott businesses that don't accept cash, and I applaud the people organising street protests over the loss of the use of cash (even if the MSM won't report on it).

Very interesting. I think you need a society that still predominantly uses cash for even cash to still work in a black out. You’d need a till that can be opened manually, and people able to add things up! The idea that everyone would be storing cash in their homes - seems like a burglar’s dream.

Surely if people can’t pay for things - there’s lots of looting. And if the electric doors won’t open, you smash the windows?

I had also read that Germany has been stock-piling gas including Liquid Natural Gas, and that they had bought fuel reserves at eye-watering prices.

It’s going to be interesting.

re: LNG and oil, yes we are apparently using the genius strategy of using third party BRICS countries at huge mark ups to make it look as though we follow our own refusal to trade with this week's "unifying existential threat".

The logic is to refuse to buy something publicly but away from the public's gaze, insist on still buying it from the same supplier but use an intermediary at another mark up and then virtue signal while condemning the old and vulnerable to the elements this winter as well as bankrupting your own businesses.

And all the while, you get to blame someone else.
