They’re Teaming Up to CONTROL Your Money!

Big Tech is now directly controlling your money transfers, and you won’t believe who’s teaming up to track where every dollar goes.

At a Glance 

  • MoneyGram and Mastercard have partnered to create a global digital money transfer system that can reach 10 billion endpoints worldwide
  • U.S. Mastercard holders can now send money to 38 countries, with more expansion planned by 2025
  • The companies claim this offers “faster transactions” and “lower fees” while conveniently creating a fully trackable global payment system
  • Mastercard is simultaneously considering re-entering the Russian market after suspending operations in 2022, showing where their loyalties truly lie
  • This partnership represents another step toward a centralized global financial system where privacy becomes a thing of the past

The Global Money Web Tightens

While they’re selling it as “convenience,” MoneyGram and Mastercard have just announced a partnership that should send chills down the spine of anyone who values financial privacy. The collaboration, which leverages Mastercard’s “Move” platform, allows U.S. Mastercard holders to send money to 38 countries instantly – creating a massive digital network that can track, trace, and potentially control your money across borders. What they’re not highlighting is how this system creates an unprecedented ability to monitor every dollar you send to family overseas while building out the framework for a future where financial freedom becomes increasingly restricted.

The mainstream financial press is celebrating this partnership as a technological breakthrough, but let’s be honest about what’s really happening here. This integration connects MoneyGram’s existing network spanning 200 countries with Mastercard’s payment infrastructure to create a financial surveillance system disguised as “financial inclusion.” They claim near-instantaneous transactions with reduced fees, but at what cost to privacy and independence? With approximately 10 billion endpoints globally, this partnership isn’t just about convenience; it’s about control, full stop. Any system that can move money this efficiently can just as easily freeze it when the government decides you’ve posted something they don’t like online.

Corporate Doublespeak and Hidden Agendas

The executives behind this partnership are, predictably, spewing corporate platitudes while glossing over the implications. Anthony Soohoo, MoneyGram’s CEO, tried to paint this as some kind of humanitarian effort rather than the profit-driven data grab it actually is. Meanwhile, Mastercard’s ability to process over $200 billion annually and serve more than 50 million people gives them unprecedented influence over the global financial system – the kind of power that should make any freedom-loving American deeply uncomfortable. The fact that they’re already processing this much money should terrify anyone paying attention.

Anthony Soohoo, CEO of MoneyGram, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting its alignment with MoneyGram’s mission to make cross-border payments seamless and affordable.

While Mastercard is busy building this global financial web with one hand, they’re considering re-entering the Russian market with the other – after publicly suspending operations there in 2022 following the Ukraine invasion. So much for corporate values and standing on principle! These financial giants will happily virtue signal when it suits them and then quietly reverse course when profits are at stake. And we’re supposed to trust these same companies with unrestricted access to track our global financial movements? This revolving door of ethics demonstrates exactly why centralizing financial power is dangerous in the hands of corporations that answer only to shareholders. 

The Endgame: Total Financial Surveillance

What’s particularly concerning is how this partnership aligns perfectly with the broader push toward a cashless society where every transaction can be monitored and controlled. Mastercard Move transactions increased by 40% year-over-year in Q4 alone – showing the aggressive expansion of this surveillance infrastructure. They’re not hiding their ambitions either, openly stating the system will be applicable to payroll, gaming payments, and B2B transactions. In other words, they’re working to ensure there’s eventually no financial transaction that exists outside their monitoring system – conveniently packaged as “innovation” and “convenience.” 

Chiro Aikat, Co-President of Mastercard in the United States, emphasized the importance of efficient and secure money transfers for entry into the digital economy.

The most insidious aspect of this whole scheme is how they’re marketing financial surveillance as liberation. They talk about “financial inclusion” while building systems that will eventually make it impossible to function financially if you’re deemed problematic by the powers that be. Today it’s “faster transfers” and “lower fees” – tomorrow it’s “sorry, your account has been frozen because our algorithm detected problematic political opinions.” 

This isn’t conspiracy theory; it’s the logical progression of centralizing financial power in fewer and fewer hands. Americans who value their constitutional rights should be extremely wary of applauding the construction of the very system that could one day be used to silence them.
