All British retailers will have to offer the tap-and-go system by the year 2020, a move that will likely see the end of £5 minimum spend rules.

Shops will continue to accept regular card payments but under new rules introduced by Visa and Mastercard it will become compulsory for shopkeepers to provide a contactless payment method within the next five years.

The elite pedophilia ring topic has been one of great controversy, and for good reason – if true, the implications of the allegations are huge. It would shatter our illusions of powerful people including Presidents, high ranking politicians and those we trust to run our countries. These people would be, under the definitions of our systems, criminals committing unforgivable crimes. So is there any truth to the allegations? Mainstream media has been operating as a branch of the Democrat Party’s PR department for years now, so there's no point listening to them about anything. But there was a time in the past when the occasional nugget of truth would be allowed to slip out between the wall-to-wall propaganda. Take, for instance, this NBC news report that Hillary Clinton, while she was Obama’s secretary of state, shut down an investigation into an elite pedophile ring in the State Department. According to the report presented by Chuck Todd, Clinton shut down the investigation in order to avoid scandal and protect the careers of high ranking officials. NBC even provided internal State Department memos to back up claims of the Hillary Clinton elite pedophile ring cover-up. The NBC News report is disturbing enough, but what happened after NBC broadcast news of the Clinton “cover up” is perhaps even more disturbing. The network deleted the footage and social media networks blacklisted the video from their platforms. Chuck Todd, who presented the report, has refused thousands of requests for comment. Nobody at NBC or the mainstream media wants to acknowledge the report even went to air. And it gets even worse. Fact checkers have been employed to deny the undeniable, claiming as one that NBC did not report that Hillary Clinton “covered up” evidence of a pedophile ring in the State Department. You have seen the NBC report for yourself now. So, who is telling the truth? The fact checkers or us?

Following the overturning of Roe vs Wade, Democrats have pledged to use government money to build abortion tent cities on federally owned land and provide free late-term abortions to anybody who wants it. Senator Elizabeth Warren told a Washington Post reporter that the Biden administration has agreed to build pop up abortion clinics in national parks across the country. Unfortunately, this is not satire. Imagine, you are taking a stroll in a park and as you turn the corner a huge federal government abortion tent towers over you. Warren also promoted the idea during an appearance on ABC’s This Week Sunday. Biden’s HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, who has previously voiced his support for abortions up until the moment of birth, also told CNN and NBC that the idea of using federal land is very much on the table. The White House is keen on the idea of abortion clinics on federal land, and says it can’t wait to ignore and bypass state laws. Vice President Kamala Harris confirmed that the government would also begin handing out abortion vouchers to anybody, regardless of their circumstance.

A stunning testimony that exposed plans the elite are now carrying out has resurfaced on the internet, years after it was censored and scrubbed by the powers that rule over us. The man, who goes by the name Mr. Hunt, spent years infiltrating elite level secret societies, taking detailed notes about his experiences. After realizing the magnitude of the evil he was dealing with, he decided to sacrifice himself for the benefit of humanity and sounded the warning in 1992, revealing exactly what the Illuminati had in store for us in the future. Spoiler alert: everything he warned us about in the interview is being played out right now. The Illuminati are seizing control of the Earth’s land while waging an unprecedented attack on the food supply. At the same time Bill Gates is purchasing the nation’s farmland, the food production system is under an unprecedented attack. Now Bill Gates is warning about food shortages. This should trigger alarm bells because he warned us about a virus that was going to kill a lot of people. Then Covid happened. And he he miraculously had the answer in the form of Franken-shot transhuman jabs. Weird. We don’t need to go into that whole conspiracy in this video. But the question has to be asked, what does Gates have up his sleeve this time and what are the elites planning? Basically, it’s about total control. Mr. Hunt warns us that the elite plan to herd us like cattle into controlled living areas and rule us through a structured system of group think, or collective socialism, where the educational system is completely controlled to keep everyone dumbed down so we don’t question those controlling us. Sound familiar? Watch this...

Russian President Vladimir Putin is a patient man, known for his ability to quietly absorb insults for decades before ensuring revenge is served at a time that suits him. But even Putin is getting tired of hearing Joe Biden attempt to blame him for rampant inflation in the US. According to Putin, the reason for runaway inflation in the US and Western world is quite simple. The US has been printing greenbacks like they are going out of fashion. As Putin pointed out in his speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum this week, the US has increased its money supply by a staggering 38 percent in the past two years. Putin isn’t the only person calling BS on Biden’s inept attempt to spin inflation as “Putin’s price hike.” A recent poll revealed that only a tiny minority of Americans believe Biden when he tries to blame someone, anyone, other than the Democrats and their disastrous left wing “free money” policies. Just 11% of Americans believe Putin is to blame for record high gas prices in the US, according to a Rasmussen poll published Tuesday. The majority instead have pointed the finger at Joe Biden. Let’s face it, nobody ever voted for a Democrat for his or her economic prowess, but surely even a senile Democrat career politician like Joe Biden understands that turning on the money printers will cause inflation. Putin is furious with Biden and not because of the personal smear of the “Putin’s price hike” nonsense. He is furious with Biden for obliterating global markets. So there you have it. Sometimes you need to let an adult take the floor and explain the situation. Putin has delivered an almighty slap to Joe Biden and put him in his place. Unfortunately very few people will be fortunate enough to hear Putin’s words as western mainstream media does not allow his words to reach an audience in the West. When he makes sense like this, sometimes you have to ask yourself why they are so afraid.

Putin Delivers Biden an Almighty Slap: 'Don’t Blame Me For Inflation'

As you are no doubt aware, the global elite are making moves to have people “own nothing and be happy.” The world will be controlled by an authoritarian one-world government and humanity, according to Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum, will be enslaved in a totalitarian system featuring mass surveillance, mandatory vaccinations and desperate servitude. Making matters even worse, the global elite are boasting about their plans for humanity in advance. It wouldn’t be so bad if the WEF wasn’t so influential. In 2017, Klaus Schwab openly bragged about his organization’s ability to infiltrate governments across the globe. At the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics, he discussed how the WEF’s modus operandi is to penetrate governments by installing its “Young Global Leaders.” In recent years, we have seen this modus operandi play out. The WEF has infiltrated governments across the world, with every left-voting nation firmly under their control. Make no mistake, these Young Global Leaders, including Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, and Jacinda Ardern, are working fervently to roll out the agenda of the global elite. Now a stunning video has surfaced in which Nestle CEO Peter Brabeck-Letmathe claims that water is not a human right and must be privatized and controlled by the elites. Brabeck-Letmathe, the now Chairman of one of the biggest corporations and the largest food product manufacturer in the world, believes corporations should own all the water on the planet, and no one should be allowed to have access to it unless they pay. At a time when inflation has gone double-digit, food production plants are burning down, the supply chain is in crisis, and food shortages are on the horizon, we now understand that the elites want to seize control of the planet’s water. So, is water a free and basic human right, or should all the water on the planet belong to major corporations and the elite? Should the poor who cannot afford to pay these said corporations suffer from starvation due to their lack of financial wealth? That is the future of humanity according to the global elites.

World Economic Forum Pushing Credit Card That ‘Cuts Off’ Users Who Overspend Carbon Credits Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum is pushing a credit card that will track your carbon consumption and cut you off when you have “used up all your carbon credits.” Doconomy is a credit card endorsed by the fascists at the World Economic Forum that tracks the “environmental impact” of everything you buy (including food) and refuses to let you purchase items when you are deemed to be a net polluter. Never mind if you have a family at home and you need to put food on the table. The World Economic Forum will track you and cut you off from your hard-earned money if you have been a bad person and used too many carbon credits this week. It’s presented as an “educational effort,” according to one of the founders. Mastercard has gone full woke and will “team up” with Doconomy. Welcome to the “Great Reset” in the world of finance.

To us they are unmistakable – famous faces who would be recognized anywhere in the world. So perhaps that is why they chose to travel back in time to a world without TV, internet, and paparazzi – for complete anonymity. Either that or they have traveled forward in time to join us in 2022, on a mission to right wrongs and change the future. As physicist Stephen Hawking pointed out in his book Black Holes and Baby Universes in 1994, “The best evidence we have that time travel is not possible, and never will be, is that we have not been invaded by hordes of tourists from the future.” But Stephen Hawking hadn’t seen these photos of famous faces appearing throughout different eras in history. If he had, perhaps he would say that they are evidence that time travel is possible, because we seem to have been invaded by hordes of famous faces from the past. 1. NICHOLAS CAGE This picture, said to have been taken in 1870 of a man from Bristol, Tennesse, is a dead ringer for Hollywood legend Nicholas Cage. In 2011 it was put up for auction on eBay for one million dollars. It immediately led to claims it was a photoshopped hoax, but the seller, Jack Mord of Seattle, Washington, maintains to this day that he stumbled across the original print.Mr Mord claimed in the listing it was actual photographic proof that Cage is a real vampire who has lived for hundreds of years. He said: “150 years from now he might be a politician, the leader of a cult or a talk show host.” 2. JOHN TRAVOLTA Around the same time this bizarre image of a man that looks just like John Travolta was also put up for sale by a separate seller who claimed to be unconnected to Mr Mord. The two portraits were linked together by the fact that the pair starred together in Face/Off, and it led to further claims they must have been edited pictures.The unnamed seller from Ontario said he was inspired by Mr Mord to put his Travolta print up for sale. He wanted $50,000 for the 1860 picture. He wrote: “I know you are saying John Travolta is alive today in 2011 and he doesn’t look 151 years old.“John Travolta is a Scientologist, and many Scientologists believe in a type of reincarnation. Of course, time travel can’t be ruled out as well.” 3. VLADIMIR PUTIN As conspiracy theories go it is pretty “out there”, but some people claim the Russian president can time travel or is an immortal vampire. Historic pictures emerged of two men taken in 1920 and 1941 who look like remarkably similar slightly younger versions of Vladimir Putin, now aged 63. It has led some people to claim Putin is a time traveler from a previous era, sent to the present to right wrongs and kick ass. The picture, taken in 1920, is of a Russian solider who does look like the leader. A separate snap said to be of a Russian solider and taken in 1941 also looks like Putin and the 1920 individual. 4. JAY-Z This photo of rapper Jay-Z – or his unnamed doppelgänger – was taken in the rapper’s home of Brooklyn back in 1939. Jay-Z recently became the first hip-hop billionaire. He’s also pretty open about selling his soul to the devil, praising Lucifer during many of his performances. Could he also be a time traveler from another dimension? 5. EDDIE MURPHY Eddie Murphy has been time traveling since the 1920s, according to this picture of an unnamed man of the day. 6. BRUCE WILLIS Bruce Willis actually honed his action hero skills by playing a major role in the Pacific theatre during the Second World War, according to one theory. The Die Hard star’s doppelgänger is a WW2 military legend named General Doug MacArthur. 7. LEONARDO DICAPRIO Leonardo DiCaprio was officially born in the mid-seventies. But one image that went viral showed his exact double – a woman pictured in the early sixties named Judy Zipper. 8. SYLVESTER STALLONE Sylvester Stallone is famed for his action movie roles in the 1980s and the catchphrase “don’t push me”. But one staggering piece of art showed another famous face in history who is his spitting image. The incredible painting of Pope Gregory IX in the thirteenth century shows the former Catholic church leader is an exact double for the Rocky star. 9. MICHAEL CERA A man looking just like Superbad actor Michael Cera was discovered in 1930s Germany. It prompted theories the Canadian actor traveled back in time as a spy to infiltrate the Nazis, or that he is even a spy sent forward from the past to infiltrate Hollywood. 10. KEANU REEVES Hiding in plain sight in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, is this 1530 painting entitled “Portrait of a Man,” which many believe must have been Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves on a time travel mission.The mysterious star shot to fame in 1989 with the time-travel comedy Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. 11. JENNIFER LAWRENCE Was Jennifer Lawrence an actor – in 1950s Egypt? Many people believe the X-Men star was Egyptian actor Zubaida Tharwat.

Global elites who have been running the world in recent decades, working in concert to usher in a New World Order, have been defeated according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who used his speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) on Friday to warn that a “change of elites” in the West is just around the corner. Disastrous liberal policies undertaken by EU and US leaders are exacerbating inequalities and divisions in their societies, not just in terms of welfare but in terms of values and orientations of various groups, Putin said. The global elite have been exposed and are set to face the wrath of the people in the kind of reckoning not seen since the days of the guillotine in the streets of 17th century Paris. Putin says that elite blue blood is set to run in the streets all over again. According to Putin, another revolution is just around the corner. Humanity has woken up to the elites and revenge, when it comes, will be swift and appropriate. The New World Order is gone with the wind, in other words. The people of the world have spoken and they have rejected the New World Order’s plans to turn them into cattle or “useless eaters”.

Independent retailers and cornershops often have a £5 minimum spend policy on debit and credit card transactions to cover the charges imposed by banks for processing the payments.

But the ease of contactless payments means that retailers are charged significantly less for transactions involving touch-and-go cards.

It is thought that the widespread introduction of contactless payment terminals will prompt many shopkeepers to get rid of the minimum charge requirement.

Richard Koch, of the UK Cards Association, industry body, said: ‘The compulsory introduction of tap and go payments in 2020 will discourage retailers from imposing a £5 minimum spend on card payments.

‘Pubs and convenience stores especially are less likely impose a minimum spend on contactless payments is because it helps them cut queuing time and make more sales.’

As more and more people switch to contactless for making small purchases, banks are having to reduce the charge for each transaction.

Contactless payment is increasingly popular, with more than £2bn spent using the system last year.

From September, the maximum contactless daily spend will rise from £20 to £30.
