If you combine government use of energy policy, government regulation on individuals around that energy policy, and the self-interested need to control political opposition, you discover one of the most effective ways to control human activity is to control their finance.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave us a great example of that when he weaponized the power of the Canadian government to target the protesting truckers and those who support them. You might remember Trudeau’s government locked down bank accounts, froze assets, denied loans, blocked mortgages and generally confiscated the wealth and incomes of his political opposition without any due process; all because the people were challenging his totalitarian COVID dictates. {Go Deep}
Take those reference points as an overlay and now consider this undiscussed recent announcement from the Biden administration:
[White House] – President Biden often summarizes his vision for America in one word: Possibilities. A “digital dollar” may seem far-fetched, but modern technology could make it a real possibility.
A United States central bank digital currency (CBDC) would be a digital form of the U.S. dollar. While the U.S. has not yet decided whether it will pursue a CBDC, the U.S. has been closely examining the implications of, and options for, issuing a CBDC. If the U.S. pursued a CBDC, there could be many possible benefits, such as facilitating efficient and low-cost transactions, fostering greater access to the financial system, boosting economic growth, and supporting the continued centrality of the U.S. within the international financial system. However, a U.S. CBDC could also introduce a variety of risks, as it might affect everything ranging from the stability of the financial system to the protection of sensitive data.
Notably, these benefits and risks might vary significantly based on how the CBDC system is designed and deployed. That is why Executive Order 14067, Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets, placed the highest urgency on research and development efforts into the potential design and deployment options of a U.S. CBDC. The Executive Order directed the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in consultation with other Federal departments and agencies, to submit to the President a technical evaluation for a potential U.S. CBDC system.
Today, OSTP is publishing its report, Technical Evaluation for a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency System, which lays out policy objectives for a potential U.S. CBDC system and analyzes key technical design choices for a U.S. CBDC system. The report also estimates the technical feasibility of building a CBDC minimum viable product and describes how a U.S. CBDC system might affect Federal operations. The report makes recommendations on how to prepare the Federal Government for a U.S. CBDC system. Importantly, the report does not make any assessments or recommendations about whether the U.S. should pursue a CBDC, nor does it make any decisions regarding particular design choices for a potential U.S. CBDC system.

When you read that full announcement, you realize they have already built the system.
If the system is built and they are now making policy recommendations for implementation, the question becomes ‘what’s the goal’?
We do not have to look far for the explanation.
the World Government Summit 2022 took place on March 29 and 30 in Dubai, hosting more than 4,000 individuals from 190 countries including senior government officials, heads of international organizations, and global “experts.” The invited participants presented ideas and worldviews from within their various fields of specialty.
One presentation was from Dr. Pippa Malmgren, an American economist who served as special advisor on Economic Policy to President George W. Bush.
Her father, Harald Malmgren, served as a senior aide to US Presidents John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon, and Gerald Ford. In this segment, Mrs. Malmgren says the quiet part out loud. Yes, they are no longer hiding the construct; indeed, as you will hear they are saying quite openly what the future will look like. WATCH (2 minutes):
[Full Source – 6 hours (internal segment at 18:30)]
Transcript – Dr. Malmgren: “What underpins a world order is always the financial system. I was very privileged. My father was an adviser to Nixon when they came off the gold standard in 71. And so, I was brought up with a kind of inside view of how very important the financial structure is to absolutely everything else.
And what we’re seeing in the world today, I think, is we are on the brink of a dramatic change where we are about to, and I’ll say this boldly, we’re about to abandon the traditional system of money and accounting and introduce a new one. And the new one. The new accounting is what we call blockchain.
It means digital, it means having a almost perfect record of every single transaction that happens in the economy, which will give us far greater clarity over what’s going on. It also raises huge dangers in terms of the balance of power between states and citizens.
In my opinion, we’re going to need a digital constitution of human rights if we’re going to have digital money. But also this new money will be sovereign in nature. Most people think that digital money is crypto, and private. But what I see our superpowers introducing digital currency, the Chinese were the first the US is on the brink, I think of moving in the same direction the Europeans have committed to that as well.
And the question is, will that new system of digital money and digital accounting accommodate the competing needs of the citizens of all these locations, so that every human being has a chance to have a better life? Because that’s the only measure of whether a world order really serves!”
The entry into a digital currency, needs a digital identity.
The end goal of a digital currency is why western political leaders have not been worried about following the COVID-19 spending demands from the World Economic Forum. {Go Deep}
When the global trade currency does not need to be pegged to anything to determine value, it is completely fiat. This is the current problem with global trade and transactions taking place in U.S. dollars, which arbitrarily lifts the standard of life for Americans while providing no similar benefit to other nations. That view became the underlying motive for Osama Bin Laden to target the World Trade Center, twin towers. That view was/is also the perspective carried by Barack Obama, that lay behind his “fundamental change” statement.
A digital currency allows ultimate control on a global basis by a one world government, or western system of collective governments, that can assign value. No other mechanism will have as much control over the life of a person than a digital currency that will create a system of transactional credits and debits, perhaps also influenced by your social credit score.
The digital currency requires a digital identity in order for apportionment based on your value to society. This is essentially an extension of the Fabian mindset into the world of financial transactions and monetary evaluations. Fabians believed that some form of socioeconomic tribunal would be needed in order for each citizen to be quantified according to their “worth” to society. The Chinese social credit score is a variant of that same concept.
The phrase “you didn’t build that,” when espoused by former President Obama and current Senator Elizabeth Warren is also based on this collective worldview. Both believe that individuals do not succeed independently, but rather gain their ability to grow wealth by using the resources of the larger society, infrastructure, labor and education. The phrase “it takes a village” to raise a child, as espoused by Hillary Clinton is another variant of the same collective advocacy.
A digital currency and digital identity is not a conspiracy theory, these “global leaders” are explaining it to us out loud. However, I am concerned that most will not hear it, or understand it, until it is too late.
“Remold it nearer to the hearts desire”
Or
“Build Back Better“
Same/Same
The goal is absolute control over all human behavior on an individual level totally exercised by a central Federal government. Stalin and Mao could only dream of this much power concentrated in one entity.
A social credit score (they won’t actually call it that in America) is coming unless severe resistance is put up by patriots everywhere.
I ask this in all honesty, im not being flippant or disrespectful in any way.
Who is going to stop them?
Us and 2A?
Trump!
God. Ultimately it is their own hubris and arrogance that will stop them.
Their “plan” is NOT going “according to plan”, as they keep running face first into reality.
Trump AND the movement he saw, and stepped up to lead, grow, galvanise and give voice to, not only here but Globally.
All according to Gods plan.
Rejoice in the Lord, for it is THEY, the enemies working for Satan that are gnashing their teeth.
Maranatha. Lord come quickly.
Completely agree!
The next Carrington event
Just another massive change in lifestyle that the American sheeple will quietly accept.
The technology and surveillance is a totalitarian’s dream. Listened to a podcast this weekend with Gonzalo Lira. He speaks about the enemy on part two of the podcast with Mike Adams. Both parts he was discussing Russian/Ukraine for the most part but last 45 minutes he gave background about himself. Then he spoke about the Ivey League Crowd. It made sense to me. I think its good to know as much about the enemy as we can. They are scared and he’s not talking about the political insiders. He’s talking about the elite wealthy families. It makes sense as most of them have never hobnobbed with the likes of people such as the average Joe. In the ignorance which breeds fear also produces a desire for control.
How do we stop it? Stay tuned for the answer because I suspect that will come as the situation updates itself. Do the Covid vax’s attack the host in undeniable numbers? Is a giant Depression with food and energy shortages on the horizon? Are we headed to a major worldwide conflict with nuclear weapons in the equation? Or is it D “all of the above?”
Yes, stay tuned, exciting times.
Gonzalo Lira?! Didn’t he suddenly go silent like 5 months ago? I had thought the NeoNazi Azov Battalion had gotten him.
Yea….he got pardoned somehow. Haven’t a clue what went down but it crossed my mind. According to him he has some high end connections around the world. Perhaps that played a part?
So glad to hear that.
http://www.armstrongeconomics.com He knows all the globalists, and advises governments. He says they are scared too, and their plan fails!!!
The elites don’t need 3rd generational warfare tools, all they need are 5th generation warfare tools: bioweapons. Silent but deadly and the landscape and structures remain intact. Straight out of the Bible: Pestilence is a deadly disaster, usually a disease, that affects an entire community. Pestilence is contagious, virulent, and devastating.
Exciting ??????????????
Blockchain….. Tons of electricity required
Computer Voting…. Tons of electricity required
Electric cars…. Tons of electricity required
None of these policies are about saving the planet. They are about power and control.
FJB and those who stand with him.
You will be less worried about social credit as you will have no private property at all.
Banks will go away as all your “tokens” will reside in a government wallet.
You will never be able to store any capital outside the government system, be unable to transfer any capital away from the country and every transaction will have to be approved by the processing system.
Bartering is not workable on any scale for anything above small items.
This is the removal of money in its entirety, not a simple digital equivalent of cash.
( is put up by patriots everywhere.) It should read BY EVERYONE …because all societies be will be destroyed
My jurisdiction won’t let you pay ahead, but it could be a good idea to pay the following as far ahead as you can:
real estate taxes
personal property taxes
car registration
and see if you can renew your driver’s license early to get a few more years on it
YES. Not unlike the USPS forever stamp.
Lock it in to avoid crazy price hikes.
As I stated earlier–I live on one small SS check since I lost my SS and husband’s disability when he died.
It may be small, but I use all extra in the bank to pay forward on utilities.
If you follow Mark Jeftovic aka “Bombthrower” he has an interesting thesis. His thesis is that the government won’t create its own coin but use a coin already in existence — he implies it will be something tied to Ethereum or ETH itself. He goes in to great detail about the government’s project which will never be ready in the timeline to address current fiscal problems.
I am speculating the coin adoption will be the current stable coin USDC tied to the ETH blockchain, especially now that ETH 2.0 is released or about to be released.
Link to article below that explains his reasoning for the government adopting an already available coin to hijack. The coin, unlike BTC, will be centralized; this will result in BTC becoming a threat.
Warning– “Not your keys, not your coin,” get a hardware wallet and extract yourself from any exchange immediately.
Mark has been on Bannon, and I receive his newsletters, which you can sign up for.
Here is the article: https://bombthrower.com/meet-the-most-likely-base-layer-for-global-cbdcs-ethereum/
I have always believed BITCOIN was created by banksters to see how it would be used and accepted.
Excellent advice. I loaded up on ETH before it went from PoW to PoS (merge). It’s still sitting in Coinbase tho. Need to follow your advice and store it in hardware.
What is a hardware wallet?
Think of it like a flash drive but in this case you physically store crypto on it. Usually has a long key associated with it for security that if you forget you lose it forever. I’m still a novice WSB. It’s good in that you can truly take what you have off grid. Now if the actual grid goes down not sure exactly what that would mean for crypto anyhow. Lol probably not good. However it does make smuggling much easier. It’s much easier to hide a flash drive than say gold or silver.
I’ve been dallying in SHIB to hedge up. Just in case. I’ll read any further advice. Thanks for the post and link.
Buckle up Treeps! 🔥✝️🔥
My advice is get your money out of the bank and convert it into hard assets. I’m also stunned that no one has discussed failure of the grid, and digital money. Ever been to an ATM when the power is out? Tried to shop in a store, or Online? You can’t, so I’m sure there will be many, many power outages in the future.
Don’t let these people take the wealth of your labor. Get your money out of the bank!
Look what happens when SNAP goes down and people can’t use their food stamps to buy groceries.
Now imagine that happening on a regular basis. Grid based systems all have security issues.
Ah, but what if Walmart stores are selected to become dark stores. Weekly hand outs in the neighborhood of a bag of cricket flour. Just enough to last you a week. No need to go shopping, because “You will own nothing and be happy”.
WEF, World Economic Forum SCUMBAGS!
I was in a grocery store (suburbs of Chicago) recently when an announcement came over the loud speaker saying they are having computer problems and will not be able to accept SNAP as payment. I saw people just put their cart(s) aside and walk out.
Yeah, God forbid they might go and put at least the frozen food back so that it doesn’t spoil.
Disgusting.
A different scenario happened in the US a few summers ago, CEBC-common era before covid and Walmart allowed shoppers to “check-out” with out paying. Or this scenario in 2013 when a power failure deleted spending limits on SNAP cards. https://abcnews.go.com/Business/walmart-stuck-food-stamp-shopping-spree/story?id=20563982
I keep money in my console taped to the top–I even have a note on my door pocket telling me to remember the money in the console.
People need to f***ing grow up!!!
I agree. Every time I’ve read comments on various sites espousing the wonders of crypto & blockchain, I keep commenting it doesn’t work when the power is out. And, this wouldn’t work for a lot of the homeless, low income, unbanked, & people with no desire to get a computer or ‘smartphone’ & might have mobility issues as far as getting to a library to use the computers…
Most people have no desire to hear these inconvenient reminders, but I keep trying.
I forgot to mention I haven’t an account with a major bank for well over 10 yrs, almost 15 yrs now. I hae accounts at credit unions, but I don’t know how they will respond to this and any possible “bail-ins”.
Keep reminding folks.
Many even more dire things will happen when the grid goes down. Heating. Cooling. Water supply. Sewer lift stations. Cooking.
Freezing, heat strokes, unsanitary conditions leading to disease.
My father would not have been happy but he would have figured it out. My mother… lord help everyone.
I loved both my parents, but dad was so logical and mom was so emotional that she threw out the Texas piece to our map of the states puzzle the day after JFK was shot. I don’t see someone like her, especially someone older, figuring out digital currency.
Elderly people may not have to figure it out. Someone will be assigned as an “advocate” to take care of their financial affairs. And then of course the “advocate” might move into medical terrain. I’d suggest everyone old(er) make sure to have a Power of Attorney in place, except I don’t trust the POA would be honored!
Power outage?
You mean like rolling blackouts when it gets too hot and the power grid is stressed?
👍 yup 👍
The hiring of 87,000 armed IRS agents is for the collection of hard assets.
good catch
Another hill to die on – I don’t no how but I will never comply.
Know the difference between commerce and trade. Commerce is the realm of the dead (corporations). Trade is the realm of the living (People). Digital is fine for commerce. Hard currency and physical goods work for trade. If they try this nonsense, people will simply restablish trade within their own local sphere. Expect local currencies to reemerge – just like the good old days.
By the way, the “Thing” that passes for the federal government unlawfully converted you into a corporation. That’s why you have a BIRTH CERTIFICATE – it’s the document that registered you as a shell corporation. Notice that every time you interface with government, your name appears in all caps. Even your tombstone – a dead man’s estate.
Rejoin the living.
The American States Assembly (americanstatenationals.org)
Local currencies based upon silver, gold, ammunition, liquor, canned food, medicines.
Fuel will be a major issue. We need power for practically everything.
Even for processing wood for cooking and heat.
The purpose of currency, the reason we NEED it, is to address the inherent shortcoming of barter, or as you say “trade”;
You make shoes for a living.
I and my crew build houses.
You could never make enough shoes, for me, my crew and our families, to compensate us for building your house.
But, you make and sell shoes to everyone on the community, and they give you “currency”; coins, paper, shells or beads, it really doesn’t matter so long as we all agree it has a certain value, so we can exchange it for goods and services.
Currency actually represents time and energy; the two ‘natural’ commodities we all have.
When we run out of either, we’re dead. We exchange our time and energy for currency, which we then exchange for the production results of other peoples time and energy.
You cannot maintain anything above a subsistence medieval economy on something like this model.
Where is the metal going to come from? how is it mined? how are medicines and canned food produced? where does the fuel come from?
The lifespan of these items is finite and they are consumable (apart from metals). But you can’t assay metals yourself and you need a trusted source for coinage.
I’ve found using an axe and bowsaw for cutting wood is good exercise. The chainsaws are there but it’s good practice to use manual methods.
Decades of having an industrial business left me with tons of raw materials, all neatly and quietly stored away.
Power is important, yep. Vital for industry. However, industry existed before electricity and developed it as a viable means of power so history can guide us.
Some of us are already using trade, barter, material/labor swap, etc, as practice or to augment a monetarily subsistence living. Is it as convenient as fiat currency? Nope.
I still maintain citizens, if they coordinate, can wield surprisingly potent economic weapons without ever firing one shot. We got a whiff of it last week with the proposed rail strike. Nothing violent, simply workers in a key industry choosing not to work. We had a sample back in early 2022 when Canadian citizens started a bank run in response to Trudeau’s freezing of certain citizen’s bank accounts.
We can learn from those, and many others, throughout history. Our biggest problem is us. Instead of working together, we compete with each other and seek to dominate and subjugate each other.
In adversarial times I fully expect us to rat each other out to the enemy. History is full of that. That’s why and how the enemy will win. Our bad choices. Selfish choices. We can choose differently.
Gift cards, alcohol, tobacco, anything of value can become money.
Ammunition is IMHO, the most logical alternative currency, and it will develop “organically” as people see its inherent advantages AS a currency.
LOTS available, and you NEED lots, when you imagine it being used as currency, and one round or box changing hands hundreds of times, for TRANSACTIONS.
It has indefinite shelf life, comes in multiple denominations, is impractical to counterfiet and easily checked, and is relatively portable.
Its an addes bonus that it has an intrinsic value,; not neccesary for a currency, look how $ bills aren’t even good for t.p.
Witha loss of confidence and value in the $, it will be an added plus, to know a bullet or a case always retains its inherent value, a value that will increase in hard times.
Coffee might work fairly well as a currency; not everybody drinks it, but it is very divisible into individual beans, and it has an inherent value. Yes, it’s perishable, but I’ve been reading about the Weimar hyperinflation, and that was horrible for a couple years, but things changed (not all for the better) quickly afterward.
We will create our own underground economy of barter. If you have a garage clear it out, put your car on the drive. Turn your garage into a grow room with lights. Veg all year round.
It really could be time to turn off the electricity. I would like to see if the digits work without it?
Ever gone to a store when the power is out, they either close or only except cash. Then you have to wait till the clerk calculates the amount. Funny how their BBB and Greenwienie economy is based on ‘electricity’, when all they do is find better ways to limit the availability of electricity.
These days with everything bar coded for scanners and no stamped prices on items, when the power goes out the scanners and electronic registers go down and it’s pretty much a lost cause.
We oldsters remember food items with prices and manual cash registers and the highly skilled and well paid clerks who ran them. No electricity needed. Of course the store stood to lose any refrigerated/frozen items but old stores revolved around fresh/shelf stable stuff.
If we can cooperate and coordinate, we can win this. If everyone is myopic and looking only at their own pile and taking from others to grow it, we’ll lose. Remember how our founders cooperated, not only with fellow colonists but with the French, to defeat the British. We can defeat the Communists the same way. It’s a choice.
It is a good idea to start studying the ways of the Amish and learn from them. Perhaps then begin to incorporate some of their beliefs and ways of living even if it is a little at a time.
Not to mention that children’s math skills have deteriorated significantly over the past few decades. You ever watch young clerks trying to make change? They can press buttons for digital transactions but struggle with cash. Public school idiots.
Was at checkout at a tool store, total 58.92$, handed the kid 60$ cash (20’s 5’s and 1’s). The kid looked at the cash and looked confused. He counted the cash and then recounted. Then he put the money in the register? Then, I could see he was trying to figure out how much to give me back. I said to him its not that hard, He says ‘yes it is’. I swear, everyone in line, their eyes got as big as Piglosi’s.
I finally said, give me a one dollar bill a 5 cent coin and 3 pennies.
Back in the mid-1970s, I was a manager at a small store. I hired a young woman who had applied to be a sales person. Our sales people also performed the payment transactions at the cash register.
I had hired this young seemingly bright woman based on a short interview and her resumé. But I had mistakenly assumed she could do the simple arithmetic required to make change. Cash registers in 1975 were simply cash registers; they did add up a list of prices, but did not include calculators to calculate change.
Her very first cash transaction stumped her, as I watched in disbelief for a few seconds before stepping in to help her complete the transaction. After the customer left, I had a short polite conversation with her and discovered her inability to perform subtraction or any basic arithmetic functions. She was flummoxed even with a 5-function calculator (we had and sold those in the store). I apologized but had to let her go.
It was 1975 and I had never yet run across anyone who was that arithmetically challenged. My naiveté ended there. All subsequent hiring interviews included the applicant’s demonstrating their ability to make change and their proficiency in using a calculator to add up a list of item prices, calculate the total sales tax, and calculate change if necessary. I wouldn’t be a store manager today for any amount of money.
“…another variant of the same collective advocacy.”
Pure communism. Given the way Americans have been treated since the Patriot Act was implemented, you can be sure this will work the same way.
We can’t let it ever happen.
It IS coming sooner than you think.
what are we doing to stop it????
Did you see what happened in Sri Lanka?
Europe is next.
Teaching friends and family what is going on and how to deal with it. Why, what are you doing?
Remember the “roll out” of the “Heathcare marketplace”?
I could list 20 other major screw ups, regarding the Fed gov and technology,
..I am not afraid of this, they are deluding themselves, but hey,….
BRING IT ON
A CBDC unit is the same thing as a chip at a casino. They know full well that it is easier to toss a chip into the pot than an actual dollar. It makes money meaningless and easier to part with than a physical bill.
This must never come to fruition or the middle class becomes a thing of the past.
…and the House always wins…
It already is a thing of the past.
Who will determine value to society and how? Retired and no longer producing? No value. Low IQ? No value. Disabled, unable to work and dependent on benefits? No value.
Will it be those plus others or something else? I am older but will be here for the start of this, at least. I’ve really fear for those who are young. How did we let this country and world get away from us? How do we ever get it back?
Low IQ’s are of great value to Biden’s handlers.
Don’t blame them too much…they can’t help…it. They will never be able to help it.
Remember, 70% of Americans believed that Saddam Hussein was responsible for the 911 attacks….many still believe it.
Must be terrible, to go thru life with such a terrible view of humanity.
So,…cynical.
Depends on how low and if they can produce something the elite need while still being controllable.
How did we let this country and world get away from us?
We were working hard, raising families, honoring Sunday as the Lord’s Day, planning for a future decades ahead of us, placing our trust in our elected officials. We did everything right, except for that last. And, pre-Internet, how could we know that our trust was so terribly misplaced?
The beast with two horns (Rev. 6:2: bow, covenant from Gen. 9; and crown, Lamentations 5:16) that speaks like the dragon (Rev. 12:9).
The ideological technocrats are horrified by the concept that freedom means inefficiency…by definition.
They want a clockwork financial universe for control, your freedom and privacy be damned.
In the same way that when self drive is absolutely perfected it will be forced upon us because there will be fewer road fatalities and that’s all that matters to the social engineers.
What they want is the ability to “cancel” anyone who opposes their plan, immediately and without challenge.
Don’t have a high enough social credit score? Sorry, you will not be able to withdraw anything from the ATM today.
Yes, but social credit scores are many steps away.
The first money decrees will be about rationing. Exceeded your petrol consumption allowance for the month? Personal digital card not valid at service stations until next month.
Canadian truckers
Canada…..no effective Constitution.
USA, no effective constitution either if we keep going the way we are going.
“Self-drive” will NEVER be perfected, because it can never work.
Just as Solar and Wind can never supply our energy needs.
They believe their own hype, as “Technology” is their God;
“With TECHNOLOGY, all things are possible!” is what they believe, but of coarse it isn’t true.
With GOD, all things are possible!
So who decides? Will we the silenced people have a say? Along with global money and government will be a global constitution which will override our national constitution. The are trying to push all this sh*t through before Trump comes back and cancels it. Personally I like my greenbacks. FJB.
It is interesting how these people think that they can actually become the rulers of the world.
But what is wonderful about it is that God is simply CAUSING them to think they will succeed.
And God is not at all squeamish about letting things go really far before lowering the boom.
Courage and patience –
But above all– place our full trust and hope in Him.
I sincerely believe that “ A power greater than myself has this”
I choose to call that power God.
God bless PDJT
And calling Him God rightly so! The one true God – the God of the Bible holds ALL the power. And yes! He’s got this!!
And He is certainly using President Trump mightily in the process.
That is why I love and tear up every time I hear the Serbian Anthem “Boze Pravde” Gods’ Justice!! I am Canadian, of Serbian descent. So yes God always wins. Gospodi Pomiluj!! O Canada is disgusting, they had to change the words in order to be woke. FJTC.

Joe trying to make people believe that His. Actions. and Administration have nothing to do with Americans feeling uncertain about their future.
Yeah, and we’re supposed to believe that FJB came up with that “profound” statement all by himself?
First, the statement is a ridiculous, non-answer. Narcissistic as well – see, it’s not anything that FJB himself has done/is doing, has not done/is not doing that causes people to disapprove of him.
No, it’s all in the “disapprover’s” head – it’s psychological.
Second, I do not know where, or by whom, but I’ve read and/or heard this same sentiment before, and possibly from FJB himself.
You’re right, Buckethead did not come up with that on his own. He has always been a moron and a buffoon.
FJB FJTC
This is scary as heck and unconstitutional, what can we do to stop this? I have two lame duck globalist RINOs, Portman and Gonzales.
Are they going to pass this before the midterms?
The difference is this country has a Constitution including a bill of rights which includes privacy. I would never invest my money in a government owned bank.
I have Schumer and Gillibrand. I WIN!!!!
The US Constitution might have something to say about this:
Article I Section 1:
All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.
Section 8:
The Congress shall have Power… To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
What does coin money mean in civics?
A piece of gold, silver or other metal stamped by authority of the government, in order to determine its value, commonly called money.
So the Congress, not the president, gets to make these determinations. All the more reason that we put Republicans in power and hold their feet to the fire that this idiotic master plan never happens.
And as SD says, “A digital currency allows ultimate control on a global basis by a one world government, or western system of collective governments, that can assign value.
Our Constitution says that only the Congress has the power to regulate, and thus, assign value to money.
Here’s the answer to how the Mark of the Beast will be implemented, no buying or selling without it.
The global ruler of the one world government, the false ruler, is the beast. Then the true ruler will come back and the benevolent one world government for a millenium.
Our Congress has the power to regulate Commerce. In the 18th century, the word ‘regulate’ meant to make regular.
Our Congress has usurped the meaning.
Atta Boy!
Someone who is not panicking BUT thinking critically!
It’s an Executive Order!
I remember a time when a certain President issued an Executive Order that the communists didn’t like and they filed a lawsuit in Federal Court!
Think that can’t happen now?

Bible prophesies that everyone will need to pledge alliance with the Antichrist and won’t be able to buy or sell unless they take the mark 666. I am not surprised at any of this, but hope everyone looks to Jesus, our only hope and Savior.
I’m *surprised* that it’s been over 2,000 years and we are finally entering these perilous times. I mean, what are the odds we would be here to live out the end times?
I should play the lottery. All kidding aside, we were born for this. Pay very close attention and put full faith and trust in God Almighty to get us through it unscathed.
Interesting that Dr. Malmgren’s father helped Richard Nixon take us off the gold standard. I have often thought since then but that point in history was crucial to our future. It divorced us from financial reality. The root cause of inflation. And now here she is with her digital currency sounding all excited for our future.
Another interesting thought I had was that Joe Biden happens to reside and have represented the banking state of Delaware for so many years. Giving them favor in his legislation so many many times at the expense of the poor and the weak. Usury was allowed. To the benefit of his banking buddies. Did the bankers choose Sledgehammer Joe for such a time as this.
We are all learning together how truly evil the Biden Crime Syndicate is. Lunchbox Joe was a complete fraud in every way.
Exchange Nixon for Kissinger, and I am with you!
Buckethead was long known as the Senator from MBNA.
two important facts:
block chain crypto currency is just a distributed data base. with emphasis on proof of ownership.
this already exists. Most people do not understand this point. Every day that you have been alive the US banking system relies on a secure and encrypted distributed data base. It is safe and it is easily attributable to ownership because the “account” is your own.
so WHY the need to go to “gov’t crypto and blockchain”?
cash based transations are not easily tracked, and in many situations cannot be anticipated or attributable.
a cash based society is a threat to a centra state that demands control.
plainly speaking the only reason for the USG (and other nation states) to move from from a cash based society to one exclusively digital is the ease in which such a digital system can be surveilled, controlled, and manipulated.
what could go wrong?
everything.
just one real scenario that digital transaction cannot operate: disaster events…where cash is king…digital requires electronic infrastructure…everything from the transformer and lines to your house and to every business to the banks and businesses.
cash is a physical asset. No matter what happens, cash makes things happen.
there are many other real scenarios that create serious and grave consequence by depending on a system with such complexity and multiple points of failure…no disasters required to trigger a avalanche of cascading impacts.
I have many friends who have adopted crypto currencies. some look to it as a means to create speculative wealth…others as a means to conceal financial assets. And others, because they feel that traditional banking is insufficient for true wealth security and diversity.
but what all of these arguments fail to realize is that cypto is a very complex system. And it IS IN FACT largely a means to traffic and launder dirty money AND is prone to massive hacking and theft.
imagine you are 75 years old. You are required to KNOWN a 24 character alpha numberic pass phrase. If you lose this (for any reason), you no longer have access to your cypto funds. they are lost to you…arguably there are ways to secure your account without using such a long pass phrase, but it always requires just as a complex of a technology and method. Again, you lose that or you forget it or have it stolen or lost and your account is not your anymore.
in the last 10 years, the crypto market globally has been hacked hundreds of times with hundreds of billions of dollars STOLEN. And that is just what we know from reporting. What we do not know is how many people have simply lost their passphrase or been hacked individually. Most of these people do not report losses or said more correctly, the media does not report this.
But we know each and every single time a bank has been robbed, or a car broken into, or a home robbery or identity theft.
the infrastructure and security of crypto is inferior to traditional banking in so many ways.
I think most people got this notion based on a false claim that “investing” in crypto would allow them to sidestep the tax man and hide assets. This was never true.
there are “blenders”, but these are unlikely to be none to most investors, because these technologies to conceal traces of ownership are not within the reach of the typical user/consumer. it is an exclusively dark money industry that is used by criminals who are either hacker/ransomware theives, or drug traffickers, and sex and human slaves criminals..who are willing to pay 10-50 percent premiun for such “services”
the point here is simple: traditional banking IS a secure distributed financial system. You’ve been using it you entire life. It is not broken.
there is only one reason why the USG and other nation states are putting it into place:
they want to remove cash from a society. Cash isn’t not easily tracked. Cash is as private as the modern financial system can be. They do not want this.
God Bless America
Thanks very much!
A voice of reason.
You’ll have a rethink on crypto when you use an exchange to convert it to US$.
You can taste the reluctance, even resentment.
Director Fatso at the IMF is boasting of rolling out CBDC so they can know every transaction and amount spent. Hmmmm.
I’m sure it’s for altruistic reasons for the good citizens of the world and not part of the one world government enslavement.
I’ve read multiple dystopian works of fiction, including One Second After and recently Kunstler’s 4 book “World Made by Hand” series. I’m almost – almost- ready to say bring it on. At least the government was staying out of their lives because the government had more or less disintegrated. The nuclear bombs and lack of electricity and communication? Pretty sure I don’t want those…
I have the “World Made by hand” series, loved them & found myself wishing I was there… I recently mentioned the series in a comment but don’t remember where. Oh well…
I found myself wishing I lived in a much smaller town. I love where I live now but if it all goes to pieces, smaller with a close-knit community would be better.
I have been thinking on this topic of a change to digital currency and the thought keeps popping up that people are slow to change. They are suspicious of new things.
As for money. People paid cash and few wrote checks. A check wasn’t a stack of dollar bills or coins. But slowly, just about everyone finally got checking accounts.
Then credit cards came along and you didn’t have to write checks and keep track of your cancelled checks that came back in the mail every month. Many people resisted getting plastic cards because you couldn’t keep track of what you had spent as opposed to looking in your handy little check register in the back of your checkbook. And it was credit. You didn’t get charged interest for paying by check.
Then people got debit cards, which had the features of checks, but more convenience. And since you couldn’t keep track of your purchases in a check register, the banks usually had overdraft protection. You got your debit card from your local bank, and they knew you and your creditworthiness and would agree to some sort of overdraft amount, with a *ahem* convenience fee, of course.
But if you were dealing with strangers or any non-store purchases, it has always been cash. Not checks or money orders or plastic cards. Some people are still all cash and only cash.
So, I am wondering if people will just continue to operate person-to-person in cash in parallel to the digital currency?
I don’t know the answer, but I do know a bit about human nature and the reluctance to accept something totally new.
Gold, silver, and gems have a long history of acceptance. the only drawback I see to cash or precious metals is that you can’t eat them.
If the GEBs (Globalist Evil Bastards) succeed in crashing the food supply in order reduce the population, no one is going to trade their meager supply of food for your gold. They can’t eat gold.
“They are suspicious of new things.”
Like everybody wear a paper mask and stick a needle in their arm?
I didn’t do either of those, mr. piddles. I’m the suspicious sort.
And the Covid fiasco has swelled the ranks of suspicious people. The clot shots were rolled out, safe and effective, said they. There was a surprising number of suspicious people who refused the shots. As information started coming out, there were a lot more people joining the ranks of the suspicious and the number of people refusing the boosters was much, much higher than for the shots. People were willing to lose their jobs over the jabs.
BTW, one hospital/medical practice group in our area still requires masks. It’s only that medical network and not all doctors in the area. About 3 weeks ago, I had an appointment with one of their doctors. I came in without a mask just to see how far they would push it. About halfway through registration (new to me doctor so extra paperwork), the person checking me in noticed I was maskless, said they were required and offered me one of those cheap-@$$ blue paper ones.
I said I had my own and she said, “Oh, OK”. My mask is the exact same cheap-@$$ blue paper mask that I was offered, but with about twenty 3/8″ holes drilled through it. It’s a bunch of holes held together by bits of blue paper. I put it on. No, nada, zip, zero reaction from her and no reaction from the new doctor I saw. Not one mention or comment from anyone in the building. They know. They just want to keep getting paid. Prolly wished they had one like mine. 😁
There is no practical need for digital currency except control. People use their phones and other devices to pay/buy with credit cards or debit. You can move money electronically with ease. They want to know where your money goes and tax you/control you. The younger generation won’t see it nor care. Many will just go along even with digital IDs. I see a subculture forming. Much like the Amish, that lives outside the system. They will try to hunt these disidents down.
Whatever. Some will be able to hold on longer than others. But it is over.
Well that is fatalistic.
yup it’s all about the taxes.this will overnight end garage sales,swap meets i used to go to a swap meet in a midwest state.when going thru the gate they handed out tax forms and they wanted you to record every transaction and then submit it to the state and pay the state tax on your sales.needless to say the trashcan right inside the gate was full of those forms.
one group of people this is really gonna piss off is the drug cartels.when their billions in cash overnight are declared toilet paper they are gonna be pissed.
Hmmm… that may just be exactly the right fly in the ointment. They have guns and a nasty temper when someone interferes in their business. We shall see.
It’s sad to think that the drug cartels may wind up being heroes in all of this.
Plus all the criminals who are used to operating outside the law in the cash economy. Add in they hate government and law enforcement and, oddly, government has been releasing them in droves; properly motivated and supported they’d make great soldiers against the government, very similar to the mercenaries the government has been using against us. Use the same methods the CIA uses to create insurgents in other countries.
As society breaks down, crime will proliferate anyway so make use of it as a weapon against the enemy. Or, we can sit back and continue to take casualties and watch our freedoms and liberties stripped away while we figure out how to ‘survive’.
We the people didn’t commit to this, but our government apparently has!
Well, we the people are in charge of the government we elect.
The global cartels generating $350 billion in drug & human trafficking alone are going to expose their assets to
government scrutiny?
This should be interesting.
Yes, so that “the BIG guy” gets his cut.
If this is true, whoever builds them will make a fortune.
So in order for our money to be spent my us depends on the ruling class allowing it? If we don’t obey them, our access to our money will be revoked? How long do they think people will tolerate that? If we cannot access our own money and the only other choice is to starve and be homeless, then people have nothing left to lose. My guess is the walls to their houses are not high enough and there are not enough soldiers in their armies to stop what would come.
Why do you think they are hellbent on creating a sub-human class with no free will? Forget the credit cards and digital wallets. People’s brains will literally receive overnight updates via 5G technology, just like cellphones.
I don’t think people realize the enormity of this plot to enslave the remnants of humanity. This is why God has promised to return for those of us who remain fully human.
Sounds like the Once Men in the Terry Brook’s books. I am so not looking forward to all of this.
Biden’s ‘Cash Free’ Central Bank Digital Currency Coming This December
https://newspunch.com/bidens-cash-free-central-bank-digital-currency-coming-this-december/
Executive Order 14067 signed by Biden gives the elites the power to create CBDCs, distribute them at will, steal them from you whenever they want, and shut it off if you do something they don’t approve of.
That Executive Order will never see the light of day when taken to court, as I have explained above.
Yeah, not going to happen if people don’t comply…and how are teenagers going to get paid, and if they don’t get paid, how many walks aren’t going to get shoveled? He tried to make all the businesses mandate vaccines too, and that was back when a fair number of people still thought the government was there to help them.
Another thing. Is there a database in the government that HASN’T been either hacked or, as with the Clintons,
assess sold to the highest bidder?
Remember when the Kenyan was in the WhiteHouse. Seemed like every other week another dept had their network
broken into.
I can definitely see waking up one morning to hear that every last digital dollar has been stolen from the US Treasury.
Another disaster inbound.
They’re stacking up.
I think those hacked networks during the Obama years were in name only. Obama and his minions were stealing and using the hacked data and blamed it on the elusive “hackers” in ether land as a cover-up.
Remember the Winter of 2021 in Texas when the power grid in much of the state went dark. If one had Bitcoin you couldn’t access it due to the power being off. Like Commiefornia wanting you to have EVs then saying don’t charge your car because it will crash the grid. This is IMO straight out of the WEF playbook. FJB’s handlers like Castreau are WEF useful idiots looking to control us.
Give me control of a nation’s money supply and I care not who makes its laws.- Mayer Aschel Rothschild
4 pages from the Rand Corp may have some bearing. Give it a few days.
We are spending in cash whenever possible.
Amazing that this tyranny is brought to US by an illegitimate President.
The ten horns you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom , but who for one hour will receive authority as kings with the beast, They have one purpose and will give their power and authority to the beast.
Revelation 17:12-13
A one world leader will add worship of himself to the ability to buy or sell. ( think Xi of China)To refuse is to be beheaded.
Interesting fact the greek numerical alphabet where the letter names of 666 is
X xi stigma
(X= Christ as in Xmas ?
xi= ex,obliterate ,cross out, remove
Stigma= prick(needle?)
Mark of shame.
We already have a digital financial system. Most of us don’t handle cash, ever. Our income is digitally deposited and we pay digitally with credit or debit cards and by online payments from our bank accounts or with credit cards. The difference is, with digital currencies it is as if the government has taken over and absorbed all banks and credit card companies. You will have just one account with the government / central bank with one card (or a chip in your forearm, but that’s another issue) with one balance you draw against.
The obvious issue is that the government can AND WILL control what you can pay for. Make a comment on The Treehouse that is not approved? No charges at the bar for you this week. Buy too much gasoline this month? No more gas until the government clears you again. Oh, and that steak you bought? That is your meat ration for the month. You’re eating bugs for the next 3 weeks. And don’t even THINK about donating to the Trump campaign. It won’t go through.
Her talk about Digital Constitutional Rights is laughable. The Fourth Amendment doesn’t protect our digital information from illegal NSA database searches.
You’d better be VERY afraid of this, because they are setting up the system they WILL use to de-exist any person or group of people they decide to target, just by erasing their digital account(s). Think a digital Holodomor. NO food for THEM. Now, which groups will they eliminate first?
Thing is, I could tell you fairy tales about fighting this, but this is coming whether we like it or not and there is no way around it. The Great Reset WILL happen. We cannot stop it. We can only hijack it. So, how do we hijack it?
People can choose to remove financial assets from that industry and put them elsewhere. PDJT showed us how potent a weapon that, and simply refusing to cooperate or pay, can be.
The Canadian bank run was a hint. Use one’s imagination and intellect. The answers are out there.
Trapper, it’s the way cash and cards are seen. People that use cards only know that they can go to the bank for cash, but cards and auto deposits are more convenient.
Also, digital currencies have not caught on with a large number of people because they don’t trust digital currencies just yet. I mentioned above the natural suspicion people have of new things, especially money.
I’m thinking this transition won’t go quite the way the GEBs (Globalist Evil Bastards) have planned.
I know I’ve shared my thoughts about digital currency before on CTH, so forgive me if I sound like a broken record..
Cash, cash, cash! For the past 12-18 months, I’ve been using cash for most of my transactions.
I listen to Catherine Austin Fitts at the Solari Report (www.solari.com). She suggested “Cash Friday’s”
I said to myself, I can do this one day out of the week and so begins my journey. The powers that be cannot track my transactions.
I keep just enough funds in my checking account to cover bills that I can’t pay with cash. It wasn’t easy at first, but I was able to expand my cash usage.
There is a weird freedom using cash. For example, when I get my bank statements, it’s only 1 page instead of 4-5 pages listing everything in my life that I purchased with plastic. Not anymore! Heck, I know the staff at my local gas station..$50 cash on pump #2 please. (FJB)
On a serious note – Nothing rocked my world more this year (2021 was J6) than watching the Canadian Truckers strike. It was horrifying to see the banks freezing their customers accounts because of political opposition. Of course, no other government spoke out against this CCP action. If the government can order banks to freeze accounts in Canada, other governments who are lock step with the WEF will gladly follow!
The US dollar is strong today and “cash is king”
Talking about cash .. if anything is a portent it crossed my mind our cash is of no use when they implement cashless as recently as 2 weeks ago. I was at my less frequented grocery store because this is where I go for my meds pickup as well as use the bank outlet. Lo and behold, they did away with cashiers. All had to use their self-checked out machines. The lines were long, there were people who had no cards and got in line thinking they could pay in cash. The store log-in staff, a couple were happy despite the never-ending machine “Wait for store-login help” – they are now guaranteed of their jobs. A couple were subdued and one gets the feeling they sense something nefarious going on or perhaps knew the no freedom cashless reality has arrived. This is happening at Albertsons’ stores. None at Winco or at any other (so far).
However, some stores have signs up at checkout asking people to use credit or debit cards due to the coin shortage which started during the pandemic.
yes that has always been so. There were some (most likely foreign speaking folks) with cash in this instance. All these machines have the starting notice saying they only take card payments. I suppose next is for non- English speaking folks, people who do not even have any debit or credit card; those who pay with cheques and most older tech and machine-unsavvy folks forced or coerced into get an implant?
Wegmans Markets has been using card – only self checkouts for around 18 months now, the kicker is that they do not dispense cash any more. For that, the customer must go through a manned check – out line.
At Albertsons’ in this case they have done away with all manned check-outs. All their machine ONLY take card payments.
So, don’t take the change lying down! Ask them when they stopped taking legal tender. Cash is (so far) legal tender and they can’t refuse it.
Haven’t seen that yet, but Albertsons’ is way too high anyway! I rarely use them except for a couple of items I can’t find anywhere else. Lots of Walmart’s have gone to self-check only but you can still use cash! Appears to be creeping in slowly.
This certainly sounds wonderful! There will be so many benefits and almost no downsides. The only thing that would make it even more terrific and beneficial for us would be if they put us all in FEMA internment camps for the rest of our lives and just let government control everything we do. That way they could make sure that we are all safe and sound and tucked into our beds at a reasonable hour every night. It is all upsides with no downsides.
I will say this: Block Chain THIS, pal!
Everything is hackable… you just have to find the weak points. And since the whole Kit ‘N Kaboodle will be centralized, somebody sitting in their underwear in Mom’s Basement nursing a Mountain Dew will be able to wipe everybody out with a few keystrokes. And say goodbye to your Digital Identity while we’re at it.
Consider: there is so much physical cash out there that transactions between individuals might well rely on notes until they wear out or revolutionary change happens, making cash illegal might well have no effect on its use.
The “price” of notes might well increase.
They are secure by design from counterfeiting, once they cease being legal tender no-one is making any more of them.
I see thriving economy in the newest bitcoin…….our old greenbacks.
I was speculating on that above, Mill. I have been thinking along similar lines.
What happened in the old Cold War commie countries was a thriving black market economy. The store shelves were empty or had too much of the wrong things that people didn’t want. But you could get what you needed on the black market.
You make an excellent point about the increase in value of cash as there will be a finite supply. The only question is whether people will continue to accept it in a parallel economy. I dunno, but I think maybe yes.
Also, retailers may be in for an unplanned surprise as people buy, sell, and barter in a parallel economy and ignore the stores.
It’s impossible to predict at this point, but I think there are good odds that a parallel cash economy will develop.
Bartering in any form will be forbidden ..wait for it.
And forbidding it stops it how?
I don’t think the digital bill of rights idea is going anywhere.
Joe Biden Delivers a Mess of a 60 Minutes Interview, Leaves His Handlers Scrambling

Do not agree to digital currency.
Do not use digital currency.
Do not support a cashless society.
Pure EVIL!
https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/09/16/the-eu-is-speeding-towards-digital-id-currency-and-biometric-systems-for-tracking-citizens
When this digital currency eliminates all cash businesses in America overnight … who do you think will be hurt worst? That’s right … the illegal aliens who do virtually ALL their business for $cash$. Watch construction costs EXPLODE to $750.00/sq.ft. Watch materials cost EXPLODE even higher. When the underground illegals economy is erased … nothing will be affordable.
Now do you understand why The Government doesn’t want you to own anything? And to bend over and take it? Because you won’t be able to afford even a “starter home” … as it won’t even exist.
Bienvenidos muchachos … you’ll all want back in to Guatemala and Mexico … as Refugees from an oppressive American Marxist State
And, here we are!
Collectivism, we can never truly consign this odious notion to the scrapheap of history, like the Phoenix bird, a new version arises from the ashes of the old.
