Hi folks! over here me again. With an additional 'brief' report of my previous post earlier this evening.
Over here in Vzla we are still going thru a general power outage across the entire country. The electricity service is highly unstable thus far. And we are under frequent power cuts each couple of hours before we could claim that a reliable restoration of the electric service has been established.
And as you can imagine, without electricity we have no water. Nor regular water on the house pipes nor potable water to drink either. And obviously, also without a great deal of regular commodities that we use to have in a normal capitol city.
So, to hopefully make this story short. I'm just writing this post quickly to tell you a few interesting things and curious events that I was able to witness recently. When between the intermittent power outages, I took advantage to go out to the street looking for a restaurant or some place open to eat.
¡Alright! Let's start with the story.
Well, all the decent places with affordable food prices to eat, where I use to go in the nearby, unfortunately were all closed. No subway service available whatsoever. And the superficial transport totally collapsed. Therefore, I was unable to go too far to find a proper place to have a decent lunch at the reach of my pocket. So, I had no choice but walk as far as I could trying to find the right place to finally fulfill my needs.
And yeah, I finally could find a couple of more expensive restaurants open on my short trot and pilgrimage through my close surroundings. But my sudden smile wouldn't last much. Because even when these restaurants were open, none of them had their POS working. Basically, because due the 24hrs of continual interruption of the electric service, this long power outage also had rendered the underlying infrastructure of the communication services upon which these POS rely to interact with the electronic bank's platforms was out of order.
The communication services provided by the main phone operator and biggest ISP in the entire country CANTV. An enterprise owned and controlled by the state exclusively. Therefore I was out of luck to accomplish my goals. No POS no way to pay for your food.
And here's precisely where my little experience, reflection and tale about a cashless society starts.
I am not really a conspiracy theories fan or advocate. I am just a pretty attentive observer of everything which springs up on my surroundings. Regardless if this jumps out from the left, center or right side. And once I see these evidences on the surface. I always tend to analyze them very carefully through the merciless magnifier of a scientist's mind with maximum detail through a relentless deep logic and dissecting reasoning.
What I could witness this evening was highly interesting and curious. Since there was no POS available to pay for the purchase of our products or services. This odd circumstance gave free rein to the greedy speculation among merchants and the owners of the restaurants, bakeries et al.
They were asking to the customers to pay only with cash. And interestingly enough, through USD dollars or euros preferably. And obviously, at a currency exchange rate that they arbitrarily established with unfair advantages only for them. And as such, sucking even more the blood of the helpless general population of average Joes.
But what actually blew my mind through all this experience, was the fact that I could see how so many people indeed had USD dollars available in their pockets, wallets and purses to pay for the goods. ¡Holy crap! ¿who could have imagined this? I dunno if most of these dollar notes are counterfeit or not according certain rumors roaring out there in the wild. But nonetheless, there was a good bunch of people who actually was able to pay for their consumption with USD dollars. Unfortunately, I wasn't one of those with USD dollars in cash handy.
So, the moral of this story is as follow:
I really don't care if the true responsibles of the ongoing economic calamities by which a great majority of the venezuelan pedestrians are suffering, if it comes from the actions (or inaction) of the government, the political opposition, the US empire or whatever the fuck the responsibles may be.
On this current awful economic hyperinflation. The confirmed rampant gradual subtraction, hoarding, contraband and vanishing across our borders of the cash notes in our national currency the sovereign bolivar. Has definitely left the whole country without cash since long time ago.
And this reality my friend, gives a lot to think about. ¿Who are the real enemies of the venezuelan people? Most probable all of them. Each one of them on a major or minor measure conspiring against the welfare of the venezuelans. Because all of them in positions of power are actually well fed and fat as pigs. With suitcases and backpacks full of USD dollar notes and other foreign currencies handy at their disposal for whenever they want to avoid pass through what the majority of the population is going thru.
Hence, standing one in the middle of this furtive silent war of long breath among the powers that be. On which each other haven't done nothing more but escalate and intensify further the agony on detriment of the general population. One have to ponder and conclude that our enemies are multiple and diverse. And all these recent general blackouts & power outages across the country are not eventual nor casual. All these attacks undoubtedly has been previously very well planned and exhaustively orchestrated in advance with premeditation and deceit from long time ago.
Therefore my friends. Peel your eyes wide-open when in your country you start to watch a sudden scarcity of cash in your national currency. Or an ongoing unavailability of payment methods for the purchase of your goods by other means different than traditional bank's electronic transactions. Maybe this could be a red flag rising on the horizon worth to be alert on. Maybe not. But nevertheless, you should be aware that without a doubt there is a big lobby of powerful interests and wealthy entities everywhere strongly trying to push and establish the concept of a cashless society throughout the entire world to accomplish their wildest dreams of population control and submission.
Last but not least.
Please, excuse me if on this lengthy verbose post I have made more spelling mistakes than usual through my weird spanglish. Actually, I had no time to check and edit the correct english grammar as usual to write this message in a more legible and understandable way. But well, I hope that it is not too cryptic as to not be deciphered without much effort what has been really my main intention. Well, apart of try to vent a bit my current frustration. };)
Oh yeah, that's right. There is no image shared yet to accompany and illustrate this article. And "A picture is worth a thousand words" ¿Correct? Uhm ok...
