Imagine receiving a thousand dollars or more in your bank account each month, regardless of whether you are employed or not? This cash payment would arrive regularly, with “no strings attached.” The amount of money you currently earn would not affect this payment, and you could spend it on anything you want or need. In addition, the money that’s received would not be affected by your marital status, or the number of children you have.
Sound too good to be true? In the Covid pandemic era, this is an idea that’s gained traction around the world. It’s called UBI or Universal Basic Income. Investopedia describes it like this:
“Universal basic income (UBI) is a government program in which every adult citizen receives a set amount of money regularly. The goals of a basic income system are to alleviate poverty and replace other need-based social programs that potentially require greater bureaucratic involvement.”
While proponents of a universal basic income say it would alleviate poverty, this program is engineered to include ALL adults, regardless of their employment status. Whether you’re a married, employed stock broker on Wall Street, or an unmarried, unemployed chef, the money doled out by a basic income plan is designed to go into your bank account with no extra requirements. These payments would be provided for everyone, regardless of need, and would be paid to an individual, rather than a household. In addition, a person could earn as much money as he/she wanted at another job, and still receive the money allotted by the program. Of course, this is the program in its purest, most idealistic form.
While UBI optimists insist there would be no requirements to receiving a basic income, there is no way to guarantee this, and it’s always possible for policies to change. Certainly, depending on the country, there could be “strings attached” such as immunization requirements, approved social behaviors, or compliance with certain rules and mandates. Any country implementing a program could design its own specifications according to its needs. Opponents of UBI warn that it can easily morph into a social credit system, mirroring the one currently in China.
While the idea of receiving a basic income (or versions of it) have been discussed and promoted in the United States by politicians such as Hillary Clinton and 2020 Presidential candidate Andrew Yang, it’s gaining the most support in Europe. The main reason is because of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Businesses have been shut down, causing citizens to lose their sources of income. Poverty has risen around the world and income disparity is increasing. People are becoming more dependent on the government for their economic security.
Supporters of a universal basic income see it as a universal human right. The European Citizens’ Initiative says, “As a human and legal right UBI shall not depend on any preconditions, whether an obligation to take paid employment, to demonstrate willingness-to-work, to be involved in community service, etc.”
Since September 25, 2020, the European Union has been working on obtaining one million signatures to verify support of the European Citizens Initiative, known as ‘Start Unconditional Basic Incomes (UBI) throughout the EU.’ They have until June 25, 2022 to collect enough signatures and present them to the European Commission. They are hoping this will be the catalyst that makes UBI a reality for Europeans.
The World Economic Forum has quite a few opinions when it comes to a Universal Basic Income. An article posted just a few months into the pandemic says:
“It is time to add a new element to the policy packages that governments are introducing, one we know but have abandoned: Universal Basic Income (UBI). It is needed as part of the package that will help us to get out of this yawning pit.”
The article further states that, “a new social contract needs to emerge from this crisis that rebalances deep inequalities that are prevalent across societies. To put it bluntly: the question should no longer be whether resources for effective social protection can be found – but how they can be found. UBI promises to be a useful element of such a framework.”
Did you catch the wording at the beginning of that quote? It says a new social contract needs to emerge. Globalist organizations like the WEF are always promoting new ways of doing things, but they often involve more monitoring and control. Their plan for the Great Reset is just one example.
The World Economic Forum has been talking about UBI for a while. An article posted in 2017 lays out the case for UBI and emphasizes this point: “It’s like a game of Monopoly where the winning teams have rewritten the rules so players no longer collect money for passing Go. The rule change functions to exclude people from markets. Basic income corrects this.”
While some leaders and idealists tout the benefits of UBI, they also insist it will not require anything of those who receive it. But we must ask ourselves if we can take them at their word. After all, we have seen how the Covid pandemic has driven many leaders to declare themselves dictators, as they institute marching orders and mandates without batting an eye.
For example, on September 9, 2021, Joe Biden gave remarks that sounded more like a vaccine manifesto than a presidential speech. “The bottom line: We’re going to protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated co-workers…we’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost us all.” That same day Biden announced that all companies with 100 or more employees would be required to ensure their workers are vaccinated against Covid-19, or produce a negative test once a week. This was quite a different tune from just ten months earlier when Biden publicly stated, “No — I don’t think it should be mandatory. I wouldn’t demand it to be mandatory.”
More examples abound in places like Austria, which now has some of the strictest vaccination policies in the world. Minister of Foreign Affairs for Austria, Alexander Schallenberg, stated: “We have too many political forces in this country that are fighting against this [vaccination] vehemently, massively and publicly. That is irresponsible. This is actually an attack on our health care system,” he said. And even more shocking are the recent words of the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, who had this to say about the unvaccinated. “I really want to piss them off, and we’ll carry on doing this–to the end,” he told Le Parisien newspaper.
In a world where policies and promises seem to change like the wind, it is naïve to believe that a universal basic income would not require anything from recipients. Also, one must wonder, where does the money to provide UBI come from? For most plans, taxes would increase substantially. How much could depend on your current income, as well as how much you consume. But other ideas include leasing government land to businesses in order to raise money. Carbon pricing, taxes on businesses, and financial transaction taxes are other ideas suggested by politicians.
It’s not just the globalists who are excited about the prospect of giving everyone a basic income. Transhumanists are optimistic and believe it could be a game changer. Keep in mind that the overall goals of those who follow the transhumanist movement — to use technology, genetic engineering, robotics, and nanotechnology to enhance and extend life (even to the point of eternal life). The long-term goal is for the body to be connected to the digital realm where everything is tracked and monitored by artificial intelligence. This would include monetary transactions and of course, bank accounts. A basic income could be downloaded into your body and at your disposal whenever you need it. Currently in Sweden citizens may choose to be implanted with microchips containing personal information such as Covid vaccination records. They can even be used to pay for goods and services. Transhumanists consider the microchip a type of cyborg technology. Another reason many transhumanists support UBI is because they advocate artificial intelligence, robots, and other types of automation replacing the human worker. Therefore, UBI softens the blow by ensuring minimum income for the replaced workers.
You may not realize that a form of UBI has existed in Alaska since the early 1980’s. Known as the Permanent Fund Dividend (or Alaska Permanent Fund), this yearly payment is generated from the state’s oil revenues. According to Alaska’s Department of Revenue website, in 2021, Alaska residents received $1,114 in dividends per individual. UBI has also been tested or strongly considered in places such as India, Brazil, Africa, Finland, the Netherlands, Latvia and Canada. The amounts each individual would receive, as well as how the program could be run, varies from one country to another. Some proponents envision every person (adult) being given enough money each month to pay for food, rent and other basic needs, regardless of their economic status.
Perhaps this sounds great on the surface. After all, don’t we all want to have a secure income that has “no strings attached?” But herein lies many questions. First, when we are dealing with sinful people and sinful governments, can we really expect there will be no strings attached? Jeremiah 17:9 says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Also, in the age of Covid, where we clearly see governments in places such as Austria, Germany, Italy, Canada, Greece, New Zealand, Australia and even America imposing their own will upon people, can we be confident that a basic income would be distributed fairly? Additionally, isn’t it possible that there could be deliberate attempts to harm existing economies in order to institute a system that could usher in even more government control of our money and livelihoods? And of course, we must consider what a guaranteed income for all would do to individual work ethic.
The Bible warns about a future globalist ruler who will demand allegiance to a totalitarian system that requires a mark to buy or sell. Revelation 13:16-17 says, “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
As this world becomes covered by the shadows of this future system, how should we respond as Christians? Certainly, we should always pray for discernment and wisdom about emerging technologies and any kind of governmental monetary program. We must seek the Lord and His Word so we can be like the Sons of Issachar, who understood the times and the seasons. We must also realize that UBI is a globalist idea that has a much broader goal than bringing people out of poverty.
Lord Jesus, we ask for your wisdom and discernment when it comes to our money and finances. We trust in your provision and not the programs of worldly leaders. Please help us navigate the ever-changing winds of the continual economic storms we face. With you as our compass and lighthouse, we will surely make it to stable ground.
What are your thoughts on receiving a universal basic income from the government?

Where is all the money for this scheme hidden?? There is no such thing as “free lunch” because someone must pay for it.
UBI is another strategy of the NWO in its quest to further enslave the world and bring it under the dominion of antiChrist. But Christ will have the last word and His rule will overcome all these other delusional beings who will one day bow their knees to the real Sovereign, Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords.
I just noticed that Rev 13:17 says that there is 3 different qualifications to buy or sell and ONLY 1(one) of the 3 are needed to buy or sell! It is not just the 1 that is called a (MARK)
This income phase of the enemy is one recognized by the Faiithful as from he who comes to steal, kill and destroy.
There is no “free” we pay emotionally, physically, spiritually if we fall into that misery pit.
The Lord God Almighty is my provider, never men playing Pharoah in government. Slavery should be recognized as the freedom slayer it always has been.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord
I don’t think anything with Universal in front of it is usually for “the people” to benefit them. Universal Health Care for example was never about helping the people by making health care more affordable but about a power grab and an opportunity to manipulate the medical health care system and monopolize institutions. So imagine what Universal income would be like. Would it even the playing field for all employees or would we all become enslaved into a system to where now the government determines the resources and amount of income we all get with in there own regulation and guidelines. Those who wanted to end slavery years ago you all know that universal income is only going to be another form of slavery. This will enslave all of us hard working Americans who are trying to provide for our families. The idea that the government and namely these radicals who claim to want to robinhood steal from the rich and give to the poor and needy is nothing more then a pandoring technique they think will work to try and trick us into falling for the universal wage scheme but instead of this being about money it would be power and control. You see these greedy people already have money so now they want power. The lie that we would have more money would be based on status or level not hard work and dedication. If this was really about helping the needy it would be about less regulation not more. As for the rich go some are rich and greedy like Pelosi, Shumer, and so on that only look to fill their pockets. Mitt Romney, Liz Chaney, George W. Bush, etc. Bureaucrats and Democrat Socialist (or whatever you wanna call these corrupt politicians) all are drunk on power, greed, career status, and have no interest in helping “We The People” but only there own interest groups or activist groups.
I praise God for Donald J. Trump for opening my eyes to see this truth. We all knew our Government was corrupt and when he said he was going to drain the swamp we had no idea that the swamp as so big it involved outside groups from abroad. We knew Big Pharma was not interested in health but in creating disease so they can prescribe folks with pills to “heal” the sickness but ONLY if we rely on the pills or treatment and keep taking them. Big Pharma and all of these associations have the cures yet they will not release them. Why? Because they are greedy and are afraid of loss of profit so if they did cure us what would happen to Big Pharma? They would just be Pharma. It’s all about power, greed, and control. This think Trump calls Fake News and Lame Stream Media. All monopolized which for those who aren’t brain washed would notice most of these outlets are all playing the same narratives. That’s why they are fake. They do not just give us the news or update us. Much like most celebrities now days they try and tell us what to think, who to blame, where to go, etc.
I had some idea because my dad had always told me not to trust the Government. Trump opened my eyes and gave me hope that someone in goverment can actually put America and Americans first and establish America as a world dominance again. Best part is he didn’t even have to think about the red button that the elite swore up and down he would push. Trump just told the world leaders what he thought, what his plans were and if you have a problem then I’ll sanction you. Simple everyone got a long and Trump was revered. Trump “If your fair to us we will be fair to you” plain and simple.
My comment on this long and I’ll get to my point. I am not a scholar, I didn’t go to college and study economics or politics. In fact this idea that you have to have qualifications on that level is new and only points to the issue of career politicians and entitlement or why so many of these people think they deserve… you fill in the blank. That’s what’s wrong with our government. All of these positions were never intended to be careers they were only intended to be public servants seats and positions. Everyone is all like oh Trump’s unqualified, he’s unfit, he’s…fill in the blank (Not a bureacrat?). Argueably my opinion the greatest president in history because he brought us back to those principals. We do not have to be rocket scientist and blame one another for the problems we face but ask God for his wisdom and his eyes to help us see what’s really going on. God is able to show us but we must have an open mind and have got to stop attacking one another for their political affiliation, skin color, religion, etc. God created us to make our own choices. He respects us and loves us enough to allow us to live our lives and choose to follow his Son Jesus who died for sins. This means we need to share faith but we cannot cast one another out because they are stubborn and don’t want to see what we see and experiance. In order for healing to happen God wants us to love one another and trust in him. Pray that people come to know him. Pray people will realize God is who he says he is and that when we share the Gospel that God will stir the heart of the individual(s). The division will not end if we continue to be so critical on one another because then we’re only pushing one another away not only from us but from Our Father in Heaven. We cannot miss the be picture and cannot forget who’s we are and who we represent. We cannot forget our mission as followers of Jesus Christ which is to share the Gospel and make followers and disciples of Jesus so that they to will continue to share the Gospel and that is truly how a movement is made and is carried on not just by Billy Graham, Robert Jeffries, etc. These folks are great and I’m not taking anything from them especially Billy Graham and the revival movement he had started but my point is that great as these movements are they may not die but they appear to and people begin to look for the next Billy Graham but the movement was never about Billy Graham but about serving the Lord. Don’t y’all see the only way keep a movement going or an amazing church community is the movement and message Jesus Christ. The pastures, theologians, evangelist, etc. are all great but something that we must not forget is who is behind these great leaders. Jesus Christ died for our sins so that we could be healed, forgiven of our sins, and we could have salvation. God sacrificed his Son Jesus because he loves all of us and knew that because we are human that we would need an ultimate sacrifice and savior so that we could have a way to heaven and salvation. The Holy Spirit recieved through water baptism so that God could intercede on our behalfs and the Holy Spirit of God would guide us and help us. That’s the true movement. Just like our get country we are the body of our country. The people of our country and unless we fight for our country and start caring about what’s going on around us then we will lose. Much like we are the body of Christ and the church faith without action our faith is dead. We must fight for our Country much like we fight for our church.
It’s not the best put together comment. May not be the best worded and some of it may be a bit conflicting but I beg y’all to see the point I’m trying to make and remember that like you I’m only human and I do not understand everything or always know how to explain things but like everyone here we can all agree that without God in our lives we will never have true happiness, hope, joy, etc.
We need to pray for these corrupt politicians and celebrities who every these Elites may be that God would take their blinders off, take off their shackles and what ever evil may be possessing them be removed and we must pray and trust that God will heal and mend their brokeness and remind them that they are loved that they do not need money, fame, fortune, etc. To feel good about themselves because God already loves them regardless of the deeds and acts they’ve taken against him after all we must remember like us they are to be and can be forgiven and like us God is always waiting. Much like our parents when we do something wrong. Yes they are upset but once we confess to them what we did then most of the time our parents forgive disapline and forget. God is no different.
I pray y’all find this comment both alarming but also encouraging. Thank you for those who will actually have the patience and time to read this extremely long comment. For those who do find this comment to be a long and tedious rant. I do apologize but it’s something I have a habit of. I have great ideas and points and I feel led by my Holy Spirit to share them but I don’t exactly know how to organize them. What do you expect I’m not a publicist and write columns okay. Anyway thank y’all and thank you folks at Intercessors for America. This thing y’all have created has been very helpful and resourceful. Thank you David Kabul and company for the emails and providing a way for us to be active in contacting our representatives to let them know not only how we feel but also that we support them and are praying for them. Thank you so much.
Even at its most benign the UBI is contrary to scripture and absolutely wrong. The Bible clearly links work to income (if a man will not work let him also not eat). Giving people money with no strings attached is immoral. The government is tasked with rewarding righteousness and punishing wrong doing. Taking money from those who work and giving it to those who won’t is flat out evil. The issue is not really that strings will be attached, but that the wrong strings will be attached. Government money should almost always (unless it is attached to disability that precludes work) be linked to finding a job or at least volunteering. God have mercy on this world.
May God miraculous intervene to have His Will be done in America. May our God who has blessed this nation from the start when it was just a concept of hopeful patriots rule our heats– may He again hear our humble prayers and help us. Guide our leaders. We know You control history and the hearts and fates of even tyrants. We are humbled and know only You, Lord, can direct and save our nation as one nation under God. Let no confusion distract our citizens or its leaders. May Your will be done this day & this year. Have mercy on America as we are inundated with choices, lies and zealous information–even the excessive overloads of information.. Lord, help America and may your Holy Spirit convict us in 2022.
This is almost an exact quote from George Goebbels: we’ve been patient, but our patience is wearing thin.
this is a tool of COMMUNISM, SOCIALISM AND GLOBALISM.
In Venezuela, I was told the “government” gave gasoline for free to the residents but look at where they are now… a people without jobs and or indifferent to progress and the love for their nation.
A UBI can gradually make us all slaves to the central powers, and do it slowly and painlessly enough so that without our realizing it, we are losing the liberties cited by many of the comments. Once we have become dependent on the dole, we become vulnerable to its manipulation in every sort of way, as is also pointed out. That is how drug addiction works, and who benefits from that? Certainly not addicts. We can also think in the other direction of federal cash flow: the government’s income tax: in 1913 the pitch to pass Amendment 16 to the US Constitution was along the lines of “certainly we can all give up a mere 1% of our income for the good of all.” Now what % of your income is taxed? Finally UBI has been pointed out as being an idealistic goal. This reminds me of the “Best of All Possible Worlds” Utopian ideologies and communities of the late 19 century. Where are they now? Let’s remind ourselves to think beyond any initial elation at getting free money and look at what sorts of evil can come from that apparently caring and fair and noble gesture.
I came in the States from a Former communist country.
UBI is a form of totalitarianism to me.
It takes our talents to sleep mode.
We are gifted by God to use our talents, to be free, to be active.
Evil believes in AI which is not the solution.
Revelation times are very clear
Keep your money, Mr Government… I can make my own without your help…
Ridiculous. Absolute key step to government control of the people. Any able working body has a responsibility to do so to take care of their own needs and those of their families. The money doled out will be our own money going in first another way with taxes, fees, etc. There will be takers of the money who do nothing to contribute and the ones working and funding the government will get tired of supporting them. It will end up with no one working, a broke government and people starving because there is no money to dole out.
socialism sounds like a pretty package but it has NEVER worked and don’t use Sweden as an example. They admit themselves they are not a true socialistic country. In the sense of the word.
Lord, hear our cries to open up the eyes of the masses, particularly your blood bought children to see what is happening. Give us each wisdom how to respond & stand for truth in all these areas. Give us faith & direction to meet our needs for food , housing etc. with job & freedom loses. In Jesus name.
Eventually someone has to pay the bill for UBI. Will higher taxes benefit the poor? We already have an unprecedented debt for our children and their children to pay. This would just make it worse.
I see a future of increasing restrictions on recipients as they become totally dependent on such a program….religious freedoms, educational freedoms, political freedoms ,even access to recreation controlled by a threat to discontinue support. As we have seen under this administration, never underestimate someone’s greed for power and control. This administration has tried to crush and silence its opponents. God forbid this idea will ever be put into effect.
Look into Bill Gates patent application
2020 -060606.
Coincidence?
UBI is a tornadic funnel cloud designed to suck the life out of humans and make them into holocaustic victims. Our God-given free will is eliminated and we are left with no hope or self worth. We are endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights and these include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. With UBI we have none of these.
I worked in the Alaska state capitol building and also prayed in the building for years.
For Clarification- The Alaska Permanent Fund is not an UBI. It is a trust account established by Alaska state law to protect a portion of public oil revenues through the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation, the corporation established to invest in bonds, stocks, real estate, infrastructure, and private entities worldwide. It has two parts, the principal (non-spendable) and the earning reserve account (spendable). Under the spendable, a portion is distributed to all Alaskans that submit an annual application requesting a dividend. It is a shareholder dividend on investments. The purpose of establishing the trust was to protect the oil revenue income for future generations when oil revenues declined and to keep it out of the hands of day to day government spending. See https://apfc.org/frequently-asked-questions/
Government has a tendency to spend all it’s money. This dividend goes out to qualifying residents to spend as they see fit. It is not coming from Alaska tax payers.
Another clarification- Although Alaska does not currently have a state income tax or sales tax, many local governments have the authority to bring in sales and property tax and do so. I lived in Juneau for 47 years and we paid taxes.
The article link to “Alaska” linked to a known liberal online news source and their bias is evident.
In addition, every year, the Democrats try to find ways to get at the Permanent Fund for more government spending. A small portion of the interest, through a dividend, is better spent, I think, by the individual Alaskan.
Lord, I pray you give wisdom and understanding to the Christian policy makers and lawmakers at both the state and local levels. I pray for your favor in the upcoming Legislative session and the elections in 2022.
Debbie, thank you so much for that clarification and providing the specific details of the program. It’s interesting because as I was researching the details of the fund it kept coming up as a type of UBI, but the definition seems like it can become very broad. I appreciate your insight into the link provided as well. It really helps to have your insight since you have worked at the Alaska state capitol and have experience with the program. Thank you again.
The government has nothing to give that is does not take from someone else. Who are they taking the money from for this income payment. A paycheck says I did something of value for someone else. It says I earned it.
i think the way has been was working
Don’t believe in Government Control .
Do think President Biden needs to address the problem of illigal people he allowed to cross the borders .Praying for our Children , and our Country .
Lord we need more of you and less government in our lives.
Tempting to think about but without common sense. The result is to allow government to gain more control in my life, lose my sense of independence and a loss in the economy of productivity and creativity.
The intellectuals who are steeped in such a narrow thought process need to simply look around the world and they can find an examples of how this doesn’t work. One person’s great idea needs to be subject to testing by others and the Almighty.
I praying the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord that the person’s designing this will beconvictedbyGod and repent of their evil doings including Gates, Fauci and evil govt leaders.
Scary. I am one of those people who could use that money but not at the price of my freedom. I pray we stand firm in our faith and demand the freedom and liberty this country was founded on.
This is called SOCIALISM…Socialism is a self destroying tool to the economic platform of a government..This tool ,doles” out money to those”in need of it”.. But…but..but…If our government was to JUST pay every individual a “stipend” every month..without ever having had to PUT INTO IT.. With NOBODY PUTING IT BACK INTO THE SYSTEM..THE MONEY. WOULD RUN OUT..but these bureaucrats “sell” this idea like it is an UNENDING ATM WITHDRAWL…WAKE UP..ALL of the riches of the world belong to God our Father…not man..God is in control of it all..Ask and you will receive according to His will..God will provide..
God WILL PROVIDE for His children forHe is Jehová Jiren.
What do these Socialist people have for brains?
The socialists are using their brains to get what they want, by getting others to think with their emotions!
The elites can spout any kind of lie they want – “To help the people with their daily lives” but it’s all a false a definite lie clearly from the deceiver himself! I am totally against this and believers, followers of Christ, better start praying fervently against this and say NO!!!
There is a saying I heard recently. “There are 2 ways to make a slave – Make a man work without pay or Give a man pay without work” Almighty God I pray for your mercy on all of humanity.
Pray pray pray , the Lord is our refuge, our keeper and He will give us the strength to stand. The vac. is a tool to control ; evil is all about controling you. Rise up in the faith of God and stand against all types of control, especially these mandates of vacine. When the wicked beareth rule the people mourn but when the righteous are in control the people rejoice. Look at the past / Austria, Germany , China . !!!!!!! Look to the Lord and pray and ask what can you do to help prevent these evil practices. Call your govermental officals and tell them what you think. Use the voice God gave you while you can; there will be a time when they will shut your mouth and you will be their slave, Wake up America, Please . the Lord our God is waiting on us to take our stand in Him and we are the victors. God is waiting patiently on His people . Are you one of His? Are you washed in His precious Blood? Are you living a Christlike life and praying for all men and loving as Christ has called us to love all people. Pray for all leaders for they are blinded by the evil one , but God can and will intervene as we His people rise up out of our self and do as He has called us to seek His face and pray. He will make a way for us. Please hear me, time is short, God is waiting on us to draw near . In Jesus Mighty Name.
Again the heart of man is deceitfully wicked
