I don't really think this is conspiracy but didn't know where else to put this. Could be though although it's not conspiracy in that this is a real thing I think everyone should be aware of. So I know christians over the years have always been calling out random items as the inevitable mark but for me I think I have come to the conclusion what it will be associated with and that is Universal Basic Income. I came to learn about UBI just within the last two years but there have been UBI projects running for the last 30 or 40 years.
UBI by definition is, from the wikipedia.: A basic income (also called unconditional basic income, Citizen's Income, basic income guarantee, universal basic income or universal demogrant is a form of social security in which all citizens or residents of a country regularly receive an unconditional sum of money, either from a government or some other public institution, in addition to any income received from elsewhere.
There is a website called BIEN | Basic Income Earth Network which details all you could really want to know about UBI. It is described in this way: is a network of academics and activists interested in the idea of a universal basic income based solely on citizenship and not on work requirement or charity. It serves as a link between individuals and groups committed to or interested in basic income, and fosters informed discussion on this topic throughout the world. Their website defines a basic income as "an income unconditionally granted to all on an individual basis, without means test or work requirement.
Several countries have run trials and even referendums on it. Switzerland voted it down with a 76% majority that would have given an amount equal to 2500$ USD a month. The amount paid out by other countries varies from several cents a day or dollars depending on what averages are.
I just saw this article today on Business Insider.
Within the last couple years, basic income -- a scheme in which citizens receive regular payments to cover basic living costs -- has touched nearly all corners of the world.Experiments from Kenya to the Netherlands to California are poised to reveal in 2017 what happens when governments and private organizations give people money for nothing: Do people work less? Do they escape poverty? How many sit and do nothing?
Kenya:In October of 2016, GiveDirectly, a charity best known for its cash transfer programs, launched a pilot version of what will become the largest basic income experiment in history.Beginning early 2017, 40 villages will receive roughly $22.50 per month for 12 years. Meanwhile, 80 villages will get the same amount for just two years, another 80 will get a lump sum equal to the two-year amount and 100 villages will get no money.It'll produce some of the most comprehensive basic income data yet.
Finland:A two-year experiment launched on New Year's Day in Finland.Kela, the country's federal economic agency, is giving 2,000 unemployed citizens about $600 a month.The goal will be twofold: to measure how basic income could provide new structure for social security and to see how people's productivity levels change when they receive the guaranteed stipend.
Oakland, California:Silicon Valley's largest startup accelerator, Y Combinator, announced in mid-2016 it would soon begin paying out monthly salaries between $1,000 and $2,000 a month to 100 families in Oakland.In the true spirit of basic income, the families range in socioeconomic status and come with no requirement to stay in the U.S.If the pilot is a success, a five-year trial will follow.
The Netherlands:Tentatively slated for early 2017, the basic income experiment in Utrecht will last for two years and involve 250 Dutch citizens on government assistance receiving about $1,100 per month.There are six groups each receiving varying amounts paid out according to different work requirements.One group, for example, gets an extra $161 at the month's end if they do volunteer work. Another gets the money up front but must give it back if they don't volunteer.
Ontario Canada:Slated for spring of 2017, the Ontario basic income experiment has set aside roughly $19 million to replicate the 1970s experiment in Manitoba, known as the Mincome Experiment.Ontario Works, the jobs department of the provincial government, is asking for the public to weigh in on an online survey.The survey includes projected payment amounts, provisions and general questions about interest in basic income.
India:India's government is moving closer to launching a follow-up basic income experiment to the two 2010 experiments in the state of Madhya Pradesh, in which more than 6,000 people received small monthly payments for 18 months.In October 2016, India's highest-ranking economist announced basic income will play a major role in the next Economic Survey, an annual document presented to parliament in January.Professor Guy Standing, co-founder of the Basic Income Earth Network, has expressed optimism that basic income will take hold soon in the second-most-populous country.
Italy:Filippo Nogarin, mayor of the Italian city Livorno, began giving 100 people in his coastal city of 150,000 a monthly income of $537. In 2017, he's expanding it to 100 more.The pilot will be small in scope, lasting just six months, but Nogarin has said the system helps people get back on their feet without the state presuming to know what's best for people.Following the mayor's lead, other Italian towns such as Ragusa and Naples are considering pilots of their own.
Uganda:Starting this year, the nonprofit Eight will begin handing out a weekly basic income of $8.60 (eight euros, as per the organization's name) to 50 households in a village in the Fort Portal region of Uganda.The trial will last for two years and be the subject of a related documentary called "Village One," Kate McFarland of BIEN reports.
So those are just a few of the places covered in this report. Now I am not great at writing so to be brief I see this as something that will eventually tie into the beast system and the buying and selling verse. With this inevitable system there will be a massive amount of goverment control in our lives as all will be subject due to their receiving of benefits. I do not see that this is a system people could opt out of as most articles I have seen say even people like Bill Gates would be getting money although about 13,000 a year from some articles.
In some ways it could be cheaper than our current system according to Forbes:The UBI is to be financed by getting rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, Supplemental Security Income, housing subsidies, welfare for single women and every other kind of welfare and social-services program, as well as agricultural subsidies and corporate welfare. As of 2014, the annual cost of a UBI would have been about $200 billion cheaper than the current system. By 2020, it would be nearly a trillion dollars cheaper.
