SoundEagle, when I started my Blog in 2011, I searched for images and videos that were relevant to the themes of my posts with great enthusiasm to make it more attractive as you do with yours.
In the 11 months of 2011there were some 14,000 visitors. In 2012 there were over 24,000 visitors.
Most of those people came from finding my Blog included in the results of a Google search not looking for me or my Blog.
Google changed their algorithm in 2013 and that year, visitors dropped by two thirds and have been going down since then. Last month, there were 13 Days with not 1 visitor, so I’ve lost a lot of enthusiasm which explains the long time since my last post December 13, 2022. I was happy to see you as the 1st one to like and comment on https://rayjc.com/2024/03/03/the-perils-of-moving-to-a-cashless-society/ posted Today.
You may be interested in this article posted 5 years ago,
This is a very well-written post, even more so considering that you have not published for months. I would therefore like to inform you that I have greatly enjoyed perusing your post entitled “THE PERILS OF MOVING TO A CASHLESS SOCIETY“, in which you have revealed many implications, some of which could be dire or unruly.
Thank you for your unfettered exposé on these matters, which can be further couched in, and examined through, historical, technological and socioeconomical analyses of (post)modernity as well as cultural evolution in general and sociopolitical conflict in particular. There are now many more consequential precipices at which humanity has found itself reckoning with existential crises, whilst fathoming the great riddle of life and reconciling with its own limits, hubris and fragility.
Whilst it is timely to investigate the perils of moving to a cashless society, it can also be highly illuminating in fathoming the perils of moving to an ageless society. I have entertained some highly plausible dystopian scenarios with significant risks for the future of humanity. In addition, I often explore the intersections of art and science, of public and private spaces, of the cultural and the technological. Whilst I concede that technology offers enormous unexplored potential allowing emerging artists to express themselves in unprecedented ways, I do have certain concerns and caveats regarding science “reproducing” reality and artists representing it. In a special post, I have endeavoured to give a very good inkling of the kind of society that humans might be heading towards. Looking into the future, here is an entry in my sociology, philosophical anthropology and cultural history journal entitled “Facing the Noise & Music: Playgrounds for Biophobic Citizens“, published at
Pushing forward another 50 years or (much) less, we could indeed end up in the scenario as described in my said post. As you can discover in the said post, there will be plenty of far-reaching ramifications in multiple domains of human life, some of which are irreversible. Should you decide to peruse my said post, I look forward to reading your feedback there. The post takes the perspective of sociology, philosophical anthropology and cultural history.
I welcome your input there and am curious to know what you make of my said post. Please enjoy!
Happy March to you! Wishing you a productive springtime doing or enjoying whatever that satisfies you the most!
Yours sincerely, SoundEagle

As a Senior Citizen living on CanaDa’s Old Age Security of $1850 a month to pay rent, utilities, food, car expenses and everything else, it’s awesome to see that digital amount just appear in my Bank Account every month. I can manage only because I’m blessed with a large well laid out 1 bedroom apartment, heated, with a parking space right in Downtown Ottawa-Hull costing $566 a month.
That’s because I lived here since 2006 long before rents started going crazy. The landlord, I didn’t know from Adam when I moved in, surprised me with the unexpected promise he wouldn’t raise my rent as long as I lived here, and he kept the promise. That’s a Dream apartment considering something similar costs $1200-$1400 a month these Days.
We are already getting accustomed to paying all expenses with a Credit or Debit card and it seems so convenient, but there are dangers to our Future Freedoms as outlined by William Engdahl, an Economic expert I’ve been following for years.
Below is his Newsletter I just received by email this morning I think vigilant people must be made aware of.
An operation that began as a seemingly obscure academic discussion three years ago is now becoming a full-blown propaganda campaign by some of the most powerful institutions in the industrialized world. This is what rightly should be termed the War on Cash. Like the War on Terror, the War on Cancer or the War on Drugs, its true agenda is sinister and opaque. If we are foolish enough to swallow the propaganda for complete elimination of cash in favor of pure digital bank money, we can pretty much kiss our remaining autonomy and privacy goodbye. George Orwell’s 1984 will be here on steroids.
Let me be clear. Here we discuss not various block-chain digital technologies, so-called crypto-currencies. We are not addressing private payment systems such as China’s WeChat. Nor do we discuss e-banking or use of bank credit cards such as Visa or Master Card or others. These are of an entirely different quality from the goal of the ongoing sinister war on cash. They are all private services not state.
What we are discussing is a plot, and it is a plot, by leading central banks, select governments, the International Monetary Fund in collusion with major international banks to force citizens—in other words, us!—to give up holding cash or using it to pay for purchases. Instead we would be forced to use digital bank credits. The difference, subtle though it may at first seem, is huge. As in India following the mad Modi US-inspired war on cash late in 2016, citizens would forever lose their personal freedom to decide how to pay or their privacy in terms of money. If I want to buy a car and pay cash to avoid bank interest charges, I cannot. My bank will limit the amount of digital money I can withdraw on any given day. If I want to stay in a nice hotel to celebrate a special day and pay cash for reasons of privacy, not possible. But this is just the surface.
Visa joins the war
This July, Visa International rolled out what it calls “The Visa Cashless Challenge.” With select buzz words about how technology has transformed global commerce, Visa announced a program to pay selected small restaurant owners in the USA if they agree to refuse to accept cash from their customers but only credit cards. The official Visa website announces, “Up to $500,000 in awards. 50 eligible food service owners. 100% cashless quest.” [i] Now for a mammoth company such as Visa with annual revenues in the $15 billion range, a paltry $500,000 is chump change. Obviously, they believe it will advance use of Visa cards in a market that until now prefers cash—the small family restaurant.
The Visa “challenge” to achieve what it calls the “100% cashless quest” is no casual will-o’-the-wisp. It is part of a very thought-through strategy of not only Visa, but also the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund and the Reserve Bank of India to name just a few.
The Rich will not be able to do this in a cashless society and there will be no more under the table earnings
IMF on Boiling Frogs
In March this year the International Monetary Fund in Washington issued a Working Paper on what they call “de-cashing.” The paper recommends that, “going completely cashless should be phased in steps.” It notes the fact that there already exist “initial and largely uncontested steps, such as the phasing out of large denomination bills, the placement of ceilings on cash transactions, and the reporting of cash moves across the borders. Further steps could include creating economic incentives to reduce the use of cash in transactions, simplifying the opening and use of transferrable deposits, and further computerizing the financial system.” [ii]
In France since 2015 the limit a person may pay in cash to a business is a mere €1000 “to tackle money laundering and tax evasion.” Moreover, any deposit or withdrawal of cash from a bank account in excess of €10,000 in a month will automatically be reported to Tracfin, a unit of the French government charged with combating money laundering, “largely uncontested steps” and very ominous portents. [iii]
The IMF paper further adds as argument for eliminating cash that “de-cashing should improve tax collection by reducing tax evasion.” Said with other words, if you are forced to use only digital money transfers from a bank, the governments of virtually every OECD country today have legal access to the bank data of their citizens.
In April, a month after the IMF paper on de-cashing, the Brussels EU Commission released a statement that declared, “Payments in cash are widely used in the financing of terrorist activities. In this context, the relevance of potential upper limits to cash payments could also be explored. Several Member States have in place prohibitions for cash payments above a specific threshold.” [iv]
Even in Switzerland, as a result of relentless campaigns by Washington, their legendary bank secrecy has been severely compromised under the fallacious argument it hinders financing of terrorist organizations. A glance at recent European press headlines about attacks from Barcelona to Munich to London to Charlottesville exposes this argument as a sham.
Today in the EU, as further result of Washington pressure, under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) banks outside the USA where US citizens hold a deposit are forced to file yearly reports on the assets in those accounts to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the US Treasury. Conveniently for the US as the major emerging tax haven, the US Government has refused, despite it being specified in the Act, to join FACTA itself. [v]
In 2016 the European Central Bank discontinued issuing €500 bills arguing it would hinder organized crime and terrorism, a poor joke to be sure, as if the sophisticated networks of organized crime depend on paper currencies. In the US, leading economists such as former Harvard President Larry Summers advocate eliminating the $100 bill for the same alleged reason.
$10 limit?
The real aim of the war on cash however was outlined in a Wall Street Journal OpEd by Harvard economist and former chief economist at the IMF, Kenneth Rogoff. Rogoff argues that there should be a drastic reduction in the Federal Reserve’s issuance of cash. He calls for all bills above the $10 bill to be removed from circulation, thereby forcing people and businesses to depend on digital or electronic payments solely. He repeats the bogus mantra that his plan would reduce money-laundering, thereby reduce crime while at the same time exposing tax cheats. [vi]
However, the hidden agenda in this War on Cash is confiscation of our money in the next, inevitable banking crisis, whether in the EU member countries, the United States or developing countries like India.
Already several central banks have employed a policy of negative interest rates alleging, falsely, that this is necessary to stimulate growth following the 2008 financial and banking crisis. In addition to the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, the Danish National Bank adhere to this bizarre policy. However, their ability to lower interest rates to member banks even more is constrained as long as cash is plentiful.
Here the above cited IMF document lets the proverbial cat out of the sack. It states, “In particular, the negative interest rate policy becomes a feasible option for monetary policy if savings in physical currency are discouraged and substantially reduced. With de-cashing, most money would be stored in the banking system, and, therefore, would be easily affected by negative rates, which could encourage consumer spending…” [vii] That’s because your bank will begin to charge you for the “service” of allowing you to park your money with them where they can use it to make more money. To avoid that, we are told, we would spend like there’s no tomorrow. Obviously, this argument is fake.
As German economist Richard Werner points out, negative rates raise banks’ costs of doing business. “The banks respond by passing on this cost to their customers. Due to the already zero deposit rates, this means banks will raise their lending rates.” As Werner further notes, “In countries where a negative interest rate policy has been introduced, such as Denmark or Switzerland, the empirical finding is that it is not effective in stimulating the economy. Quite the opposite. This is because negative rates are imposed by the central bank on the banks – not the borrowing public. [viii]
He points out that the negative interest rate policy of the ECB is aimed at destroying the functioning, traditionally conservative EU savings banks such as the German Sparkassen and Volksbanken in favor of covertly bailing out the giant and financially corrupt mega-banks such as Deutsche Bank, HSBC, Societe Generale of France, Royal Bank of Scotland, Alpha Bank of Greece, or Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena in Italy and many others. [ix] The President of the ECB, Mario Draghi is a former partner of the mega bank, Goldman Sachs.
Why Now?
The relevant question is why now, suddenly the urgency of pushing for elimination of cash on the part of central banks and institutions such as the IMF? The drum roll for abolishing cash began markedly following the January 2016 Davos, Switzerland World Economic Forum where the western world’s leading government figures and central bankers and multinational corporations were gathered. The propaganda offensive for the current War on Cash offensive began immediately after the Davos talks.
Several months later, in November, 2016, guided by experts from USAID and, yes, Visa, the Indian government of Narenda Modi announced the immediate demonetization or forced removal of all 500 Rupee (US$8) and 1,000 Rupee (US$16) banknotes on the recommendation of the Reserve Bank of India. The Modi government claimed that the action would curtail the shadow economy and crack down on the use of illicit and counterfeit cash to fund illegal activity and terrorism.
Notably, the Indian Parliament recently made a follow-up study of the effects of the Modi war on cash. The Parliamentary Committee on Demonetization report documented that not a single stated objective was met. No major black money was found and Demonetization had no effect on terror funding, the reasons given by the Government to implement such a drastic policy. The report noted that while India’s central bank was allegedly attacking black money via demonetization, the serious illegal money in offshore tax havens was simply recycled back into India, “laundered” via Foreign Direct Investment by the criminal or corporate groups legally in a practice known as “Round Tripping.”
Yet the Parliament’s report detailed that the real Indian economy was dramatically hit. Industrial Production in April declined by a shocking 10.3 percent over the previous month as thousands of small businesses dependent on cash went under. Major Indian media have reportedly been warned by the Modi government not to publicize the Parliament report. [x]
If we connect the dots on all this, it becomes clearer that the war on cash is a war on our individual freedom and degrees of freedom in our lives. Forcing our cash to become digital is the next step towards confiscation by the governments of the EU or USA or wherever the next major banking crisis such as in 2007-2008 erupts.
In late July this year Estonia as rotating presidency of the EU issued a proposal backed by Germany that would allow EU national regulators to “temporarily” stop people from withdrawing their funds from a troubled bank before depositors were able to create a bank “run.” [xi] The EU precedent was already set in Cyprus and in Greece where the government blocked cash withdrawals beyond tiny daily amounts.
As veteran US bank analyst Christopher Whelan points out in a recent analysis of the failure of the EU authorities to effectively clean up their banking mess since the 2008 financial crisis, “the idea that the banking public – who generally fall well-below the maximum deposit insurance limit – would ever be denied access to cash virtually ensures that deposit runs and wider contagion will occur in Europe next time a depository institution gets into trouble.” Whelan points out that nine years after the 2008 crisis, EU banks remain in horrendous condition. “There remains nearly €1 trillion in bad loans within the European banking system. This represents 6.7% of the EU economy. That’s huge. He points out that banks’ bad loans as share of GDP for US and Japan banks are 1.7 and 1.6 percent respectively. [xii]
As governments, whether in the EU or in India or elsewhere refuse to rein in fraudulent practices of its largest banks, forcing people to eliminate use of cash and keep all their liquidity in digital deposits with state regulated banks, sets the stage for the state to confiscate those assets when they declare the next emergency. If we are foolish enough to permit this scam to pass unchallenged perhaps we deserve to lose our vestige of financial autonomy. Fortunately, popular resistance against elimination of cash in countries like Germany is massive. Germans recall the days of the 1920s Weimar Republic and hyperinflation as the 1931 banking crises that led to the Third Reich. The IMF approach is that of the Chinese proverb on boiling frogs slowly. But human beings are not frogs, or?
Who in heaven’s name would write to the Pope in Today’s turbulent World, thinking it would get through to him and he would get the Message?
Finding the Vatican email addresses below online, the last 2 to the Pope’s Embassies in CanaDa and France, in my Personal Faith I took the chance 1 of them might have direct access and convey the Spirit of the letter to Pope Francis.
The one immediately following was emailed on All Souls Day, November 2, directly connecting it to Remembrance Day November 11.
No one acknowledged receipt of the email. For those with the interest and patience to continue reading, in the brackets, you will see for yourselves, evidence that even if the Pope himself didn’t read the Message, the God of my Faith that moved me to write, touched him directly. In his Public comments on November 4 & 5 he cited explicit words and visions taken from my email.
The 1st Message I sent to the Pope further on down, was emailed April 18. No one acknowledged that one either, but for those who get that far, reading between the brackets, you will see evidence that Message got directly to the Pope too.
You will notice the Salutation, “Dear Francis, my Brother in Christ.” I could not in Good Conscience to Christ call the Pope ‘Holy Father’ or any Catholic/Orthodox priest “Father.” The Resurrected Christ Today is the same Christ Jesus revealed to the World 2000 years ago as it’s written, ‘And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.’
Fathers, Mothers, Sons and Daughters, Brothers and Sisters can see this Material World Today, 2000 years in Flesh Time, the Dawn of the 3rd Day in Spirit Time, is moving in the Opposite Direction. Silence is Consent to the World going Down the Path described in the following paragraph.
My hope and intention in writing is to show if you don’t at least try, nothing in your life will make a difference in this money-things loving & serving World rushing down this Path as it’s written, ‘you enter in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leads to destruction, and many there be which go in there: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leads unto life, and few there be that find it.’

Dear Francis, my Brother in Christ,
This is the 3rd Time writing to you in the hope you will take a more active consistent and extraordinary role as the Vicar of the Prince of Peace, striving to end the War in Ukraine. President Macron of France also urged you to undertake this Mission on an urgent basis.
By the Grace of God, you have the platform to do just that and you must use it urgently. (The Pope in Bahrain November 5, “He noted that, although this sounds like a contradiction, as “we often notice that the more power is sought, the more peace is threatened”, the prophet announces the extraordinary news that “the Messiah to come will indeed be powerful, not in the manner of a commander who wages war and rules over others, but as the Prince of Peace who reconciles people with God and with one another.”)
On ALL SOULS DAY, November 2, 1976, The Kansas City Times published this picture 46 years ago,
It is generally understood in religious circles 7 is God’s number, and 7 years to the month later, on November 20, 1983, the TV movie ‘THE DAY AFTER’ Kansas City was incinerated in a Nuclear Holocaust was shown to the World. Of the 100 Million People watching it that night, most probably I was the only one watching it to notice AT THE END, the movie pauses at the same picture frame shown above on ALL SOULS DAY in 1976.
You can see that END for yourself in this brief clip from the movie which could have been made in any other major American City. It is not random chance or coincidence it was made in Kansas City. It is a SIGN from Almighty God to our Generations this Material World has arrived at the PRECIPICE:
It is now 37 years since the Spirit of God moved me to interject these words into the Official 1985 Remembrance Day Commemoration in the hearing of the Governor-General, the Prime Minister, the Military Brass, the Ambassadors of the Nations and the Public. This was after the Moment of Silence, the prayers to God by the 3 Establishment Religions there should be no more WAR, during the Silence for the laying of the wreaths by the Dignitaries,
Do you do well to honour the dead, and yet, deny the God of the Living?
Why do you follow the vain traditions of men, and make of no effect, the Principles of God?
You come here for one hour, one day a year, in a great show of Public Patriotism, and then forgetting, go back to work and make the same careless mistakes made by the generations prior to the 1st and 2nd World Wars.
“Hostage” was the last word said perched on a bus shelter roof, as police got up and grabbed the megaphone. I was arrested for shouting, causing a disturbance, convicted and fined $250. I appealed without a lawyer to The Supreme Court of Canada.
All these 37 years later, the US-Russian Military-Industrial Complex is holding our current World “hostage” like never before and escalating. THE DAY AFTER will be too late!

Dear Francis, my Brother in Christ,
God strengthen you to resist the pressure from the US dominated NATO Nations to Judge President Putin. Only God is the Judge of you, me, the Cardinals, and all living Flesh from the Greatest to the Least.
The old adage still applies, ‘TRUTH is the 1st casualty of WAR’ and that is especially TRUE in this War.
US/NATO WAR Propaganda does not inform the Public the Ukrainian government increased the shelling of the Civilians in the Donbas that provoked Russia to make the incursion into Ukraine to stop it. (Two weeks later on May 3rd Pope Francis said NATO may have caused Russia’s invasion of Ukraine doubling down on that June 14, here, here, here and here.
US/NATO War Propaganda does not inform the Public why President Putin said Minsk is Dead in recognizing the Independent Status of Luhansk and Donetsk People’s Republics. He did not annex the territories into Russia.
The Path to Peace was embodied in the 2015 Minsk Agreement signed by Ukraine, Russia, France and Germany, requiring Ukraine to start negotiations with those territories giving them some Autonomy within a Federal Ukrainian system. Within those 7 years Ukraine REFUSED to negotiate as required. The US, Germany and France did not use their leverage to get Ukraine to the negotiating table. They just armed them for the Time the US/NATO WAR PLAN with Russia was ready to implement. (Ex German Chancellor Angela Merkel confirmed only on December 8, 8 months later, my assessment given the Pope April 18 was True. ‘German ex-Chancellor Angela Merkel reveals that in 2014, the Minsk agreements aimed to give Ukraine time to get stronger and for NATO to increase its support to the country in the face of Russia.)
I was very disappointed you did not go to the Islamic Mosque in Nineveh ISIS blew up in 2014, containing the Tomb of Jonah in the whale fame from the Jewish/Christian tradition during your visit to Iraq last year. No Religious or Political Leader recognized that event as the SIGN from Almighty God this Material World is at that same point on the Path to Destruction, making that 3000 year old Bible record CURRENT.
As if to buttress that SIGN, it was in the same Year of the Lord 2014, the US orchestrated the Coup/regime change of the Elected Russian friendly government, installing the Neo-Nazi anti-Russian government headed by the man US Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland was caught on tape saying she wanted to head the changed government even BEFORE it was changed. That was by design, not co-incidence, and Russia knew it if Americans don’t.
I lost my child’s Faith in Jesus when I was 12-13 making no room in my life and thoughts for Christ until, to my great Surprise and Wonder, I was unexpectedly BORN AGAIN February 1, 1975, making me 78 going on 47 years learning the Ways of the Christ Spirit. That was the Day after I quit my position of ‘National Marketing Representative, Mining Division, Dominion Engineering Works Ltd.’ of Montreal. I was 29 going on 30.
Francis, the US is the biggest Arms Merchant in the History of Nations. Never mind the Russian Oligarchs, the US Oligarchs must be rubbing their hands with glee since Russia was provoked into this War. ARMS SALES to the captive NATO Nations dramatically increased. Most Christian America is blind and oblivious to this most important insight into God who is above ALL Nations, the US, Israel and Vatican City included, ‘Not by military force and not by physical strength, but by My spirit,’ says the Lord of Hosts.’
The following message was just sent to US Senators who replied to my Message with an actual email address without having to use their embedded character limiting Office email system. It should interest the Vatican too. Maybe there’s a buried record in the Vatican of the Lunch I had with the Apostolic Nuncio to CanaDa Angelo Palmas in late October or early November 1985. The Charge D’Affaires and Secretary attended.
I quit my Position of ‘National Marketing Representative, Mining Division, Dominion Engineering Works Ltd.’ of Montreal. The next Day, February 1, 1975, to my great unexpected surprise and wonder, I was BORN AGAIN Spiritually, making me 78 going on 47 years learning the Ways of the Christ Spirit. I was 29.
I sold all my possessions and 7 months later, with shoulder length hair, beard and backpack on my back, entered the US to discover the Spirit of 76. That Spirit led me to the 1976 Republican National Convention in Kansas City where I reach a high level of visibility.
The night President Ford won the nomination over Ronald Reagan, the Lobby of the Crown Centre Hotel held a compressed crowd of delirious Republicans looking up to the Secret Service restricted mezzanine having the President’s podium set up, as he was expected to be standing there any minute.
The Secret Service spotted me in the crowd below and called me to come up for questioning. Instead of questioning me in some anteroom, the Secret Service Agent let me to stand right at the President’s podium and questioned me in view of everyone in the Lobby below, and the 3 TV networks broadcasting live. If that wasn’t surprise enough, eventually the SS Agent asked me if I was Jesus Christ? Having no illusions about than then or now, in a nanosecond answered NO! The next question was, “Who are you then, a Prophet?” That I couldn’t answer on the spot never having imagined finding myself in that exceptional spot. With my shoulder length hair, beard and wearing my trademark #13 jersey, it was a Revolutionary imagine for anyone to be standing at the President’s podium in the Revolutionary Spirit of ’76, most probably before and since? The best part, is the Secret Service should have a record of that one night in my Curriculum Vitae buried in their Archives as it’s written, God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders.
After the Republicans left town, I was the guest on an open line radio show a dozen times, interviewed on TV, and The Kansas City Times published 2 reports on my Time in the City, the 1st on September 13, 1976 with the follow up on ALL SOULS DAY, November 2, 1976. That was a lot of exposure for an unknown Canadian arriving in the City.
These are brief excerpts from so much more in the September 13, 1976 Historical Newspaper record,
“He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November TO DO GOD’S BIDDING: To tell the World, from Kansas City, this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered […] He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of BABYLON,” he said.” […] He wanted to bring to the Public’s attention an “idea being put out subtly and deceptively” by the government that we have to get prepared for a War with Russia.”
That 1976 FUTURE is NOW with the Revelation of the details GENERALLY unfolding in the spirit of the letter. The World is waking up to see Americans may hasten “its days are numbered” part of the 1976 Vision, and waits with bated breath.
With the benefit of 45 years hindsight, the last 8 years of intensified FBI, Military, Intelligence and Think Tank “experts” on TV constantly, unanimously, demonizing Putin and Russia, with no dissent allowed, the People have been prepared.
For all the Times it’s a Cultural necessity for American Politicians to say ‘God Bless America’ after their political speeches, I doubt many or any of you recognize “this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered” as the 1st 2 parts of the 3 part Writing on the Wall from Daniel 5 in the Bible.
Between the 3-6 of February, I sent a Message to all 100 Senators on the possible conflict in the US Tug of War over Ukraine with Russia and altogether 17 Senators replied and Congressman Swalwell whom I didn’t write to on the matter. That Message was not pro-Putin but pro-Peace. By all of your replies, the Message fell on deaf ears and BLIND patriotism.
While I never wrote a book, there are many chapters from my Curriculum Vitae in my Blog. This latest was posted April 13.
No one has to account to me, and I can’t compel anyone to follow any links in this Message, but Believe it or not, this describes my assigned role in Today’s World The Kansas City Times chronicled way back in 1976.
Son of man, speak to the members of your people and say to them: When I bring armed attackers upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among themselves and appoint him for them as a lookout, And he sees the army coming upon the land, and he sounds the trumpet and warns the people, And whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take heed, and the army comes and takes him, his blood will be upon his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take heed; his blood will be upon him, for had he taken heed, he would have saved his life.
But the lookout-should he see the army coming and not sound the trumpet, and the people did not take heed, and an army came and took a soul from them-he was taken for his iniquity, but I shall require his blood from the hand of the lookout.
That’s between a rock and a hard place!
Peace RayJC Ottawa-Hull, CanaDa
Being human, it would have been nice if someone from the Vatican acknowledged the email, but that isn’t really important. I was happy to see the Pope say what he did in Public.
In 1976 I was washing dishes at Suzanne’s Kitchen on the Boardwalk of Venice Beach California facing the Ocean, for $1/hour.
One Day I woke up from a very powerful and vivid Dream I will never forget. In the Dream I was a small child wearing a big Adult General’s Uniform. I was at the bottom of a high stairway, and at the top, Crowned and Enthroned, was the Pope. He came down from the Throne and gave me the Keys to everything saying to me, “It’s all yours and you can do what you want with it.”
For obvious reasons, I, more than anyone, was surprised to see in the REAL WORLD, 2 years later in 1978, Pope Paul VI died. He was the last Pope in 1000 years of Catholic Ritual and Tradition to be Crowned and Enthroned.
The 1st Papal Pronouncement of new Pope John Paul I was, ‘The Pope is only a simple Priest. No Crown and no Throne for the Pope!’ He abdicated and came down from the Throne for Real, and he came from Venice, Italy! Was that co-incidence or design?
Sadly, he was dead in a month! Maybe for thinking and acting like he was Pope, starting to take charge and cleaning House?
‘Not by military force and not by physical strength, but by My spirit,’ says the Lord of Hosts. And he shall judge between the nations and reprove many peoples, and they shall beat their swords into plow shares and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift the sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
SoundEagle, when I started my Blog in 2011, I searched for images and videos that were relevant to the themes of my posts with great enthusiasm to make it more attractive as you do with yours.
In the 11 months of 2011there were some 14,000 visitors. In 2012 there were over 24,000 visitors.
Most of those people came from finding my Blog included in the results of a Google search not looking for me or my Blog.
Google changed their algorithm in 2013 and that year, visitors dropped by two thirds and have been going down since then. Last month, there were 13 Days with not 1 visitor, so I’ve lost a lot of enthusiasm which explains the long time since my last post December 13, 2022. I was happy to see you as the 1st one to like and comment on https://rayjc.com/2024/03/03/the-perils-of-moving-to-a-cashless-society/ posted Today.
