One of the core elements to the growth of modern oppressive government would be total control over a central bank digital currency (CBDC). The government response during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the specifics of the vaccine mandate, was an eye-opening moment for many people about how control over our money would be used as leverage by government.
During remarks in New Hampshire, President Trump announced he would never allow the creation of a central bank digital currency. WATCH:
.
Of course, it should be noted….. As if the entire global system didn’t already oppose Donald Trump, this position just puts an exclamation point on how the multinational financial systems will hate him even more.
Good

Interesting site! Thanks for citing…
Would this not assure dollar dominance around the world. We can call them “Freedom Notes.”
This is why the fake pandemic was manufactured…..
But if President Trump says were gonna win then by golly Were Gonna Win!!!
I pray for his safety!
I would not put it passed them to JFK him!
Pray and fast!!!
I pray everyday for the health and safety of PRESIDENT TRUMP, and for the opportunity for him to lead the nation again!!!
That sounds like Vivek talk.
This is genius!
Out of control government has become an all consuming monster that is destroying our lives in small increments.
The monster needs to be cut down and destroyed.
The Beast.
Love what the Germans are doing to destroy it too!
Those small increments are getting bigger and bigger. The more they get away with…..
Slowly at first, then all at once.
We need to go back to the Original Constitution and go over each Amendment one at a time and get rid of or rewrite all the Bad ones.
10,000 or more Alphabet agencies is just ridiculous!
First thing to do is to Totally close our Borders, North south, east and west! They are also flying in from other countries.
Amen on the alphabet agencies. The good news is, we could reduce them to just a few, and lay off hundreds of thousands of deep state NPC’s, if the SCOTUS would only overturn the absurd Chevron “deference to agency expertise” doctrine. Once that happens, piles of Federal regulations gradually will become unenforceable after being struck down by the courts. At the same time, the Administrative Procedures Act needs to be revised to take away all quasi-judicial functions from unaccountable agency gnomes, and to give the courts a right to review all agency decisions “de novo”, meaning use of the court’s own judgment and analysis.
These aren’t perfect solutions, of course, as the courts themselves are corrupted at all levels to some extent, and we have to depend on Congress to fix the APA. But it would be a vast improvement over the bureaucratic tyranny we now have.
Resist we much.
They intend to wait him out. The ratchet effect is real.
We MUST have a person to carry the torch after Trump…his VP pick is CRITICAL.
I’m sure he knows that.
The ENTIRE west needs to return to God, and His Commandments!
The hard-core Left will self-immolate before they’ll accept that.
That wouldn’t be a bad thing though.
Now I am behind this all the way. This why we are in the situation we are in…….God has been abandoned.
We need to out ratchet them. We need to wake up more, insist on our places. Shape our message, call out the evil that they are. Confront them.
If that’s true, THEY are the ones who must be overcome so that all peoples in all nations can exercise their God given unalienable rights.
They can’t. As Just Human at Badlands Media just pointed out, people don’t have ideas, ideas have people.,and PDJT is now an idea. You can’t kill an idea, and it lives on past a single person’s lifetime.
you said it!
This is an HIGHLY important declaration, clearly described by SD. I am very confident that there was a measurable earthquake in Davos that resulted from PDJT speaking the words.
Moreover, the Federal Reserve Board’s completed and planned CBDC experiments will vaporize.
This will be a huge win for the common man, and a jaw-breaking knockout punch to globalists in general and both current and wannabe authoritarian governments in particular.
This is HUGE! I am afraid Biden will already have implemented it by July along with a recall of all cash money. It likely will be against the law to have any cash by the time Trump would take office. But Trump has just thrown a lot of sand in the gears and people will be a lot more reluctant to turn in their cash for Biden Bucks.
I think we’ll see a jump in Bitcoin and Ethereum in the morning.
Currency would seem to me to be an essential function.
If you think Devolution is real and “Biden” isn’t, there might be an attempt at it, and then a rug pull, but let’s see what happens
100% Agree, this is as “central” as any single move I can think of. There are others that are equal but none that are more.
Good point on the timing to send shock waves through Davos
Great!
The central bank system needs to be dismantled along with the fourth branch of government if we are going to live as a free people.
It is not the central bank that is the problem. The problem is Congress spending more money, a lot more money, than it takes in through taxation. I know some of you will say go read “The Creature from Jekyll Island”. Some Congress critters probably paid the author to write it. Congress is shrewd to project their problem onto a banker. Quit overspending and the “problem” disappears.
Yes, the central bank is the problem.
they’re not overspending, they’re giving it away and what they don’t give away they put in their own pockets
“Congress is shrewd to project their problem onto a banker”. I agree but would add Congress accomplished this by sub-contracting their constitutional monetary authority. Evading accountability for financial crisis at the polls every two years. Public/Private partnership, in other words Fascism.
The “creature” IS the Federal Reserve central bank.
Where do you think the Congress gets the money they spend? (Actually, they authorize the money to spend, but it still comes from the Federal Reserve Bank.)
deleted
The Creature from Jekyll Island!
And how do you think Congress is able to spend so much more money than it takes in ???
You understand that if Congress returned to a balanced budget tomorrow, the US economy would more or less immediately shrink by 8 percent?
There’s no way out, without pain.
Use it or lose it.
The digital money scam will come with an expiration date in China.
We know how much our politicians love the communist model.
Wouldn’t a currency whose value disappears by reason of a law be a taking under the Constitution?
Not to mention the actual Constitutional provision about the issuance of currency, which seems to have been completely ignored as a protection of the right to property.
This was an eagerly awaited announcement and well timed. The junior varsity squad would never speak to this digital currency issue.
Control over healthcare, money and information/communication must end!
Let informed people and free markets around the world determine how they will eat, trade and maintain their health.
”Control over healthcare, money and information/communication must end! ”
Do NOT think, that it has NOT (many times) before !
The rigid laws of the ”elite” Spartan society for the behaviour of its members is one such example.
Every year the five new ”ephoroi” (governors) of the city were ordering the (male) citizens 1) ”to have everyday their moustache shaven”and 2) to OBEY the Law !
Sorry, ”Do NOT think, that it has NOT happened (many times) before !”
Timing, Indeed!

President Trump just put con- gress on notice
I see another RINO (I’ll assume) congressman has declared he will not seek re-election. I’ve lost count of how many.
Little by little, the same playbook which Paul Ryan used in 2018 to turn the House over to the hands which have brought us to this hideous point is being reused.
President Trump’s enemies must really have the wind up.
https://www.axios.com/2024/01/17/house-republicans-retirement-jeff-duncan
I noticed that same thing happening in Congress, we are being screwed over again!
The announcements have been spaced out. Not an almost en masse advertisement of the disgusting cowardice and Big Club pique that was apparent during those midterms. They are hoping I guess that we are too distracted to not notice what they are doing….
…which is to try to pre-stack the deck against a second Trump presidency.
So says James Woods…so say we all.
James for VP
Johnson strikes again!
Somehow, I think he was surprised to find himself a member of the Big Club, BK. But then to be elevated to Speaker of it? Pulling the sword out of the stone so to speak, but finding that he wasn’t quite prepared to handle the size of it.
I still believe he’s not sure how to handle his new position but doesn’t want to rock RINO boats so he is sort of feeling his way through, and therefore (to me) gives the impression of being out of his depth.
He strikes me as an insecure man trying to please everyone…those who are responsible for placing him in this position of tremendous power and those who are actually more powerful than he is.
And so in trying to please everyone he will please no one. Tightrope walking is just like that.
Nimrata will not speak about CBDC she has said the first two things she would do as President are demand Social media algorithms and accounts and demand users use their real name. She is full blown global commie.
Why I finally gave up FB for good: I had joined with a name that was one letter off from my real last name, just to keep up with an old military alumni thing. A few weeks later when I signed on, my one-letter-off last name had been changed to the actual spelling. (I immediately deleted the account and swore off ALL social media forever.) This very much reveals how capable and desirous they are about ID’ing, tracking and inevitably controlling every single one of us.
Other than this place here, conservativetreehouse, I have never been a member of any Social media.
They track you in different ways the database is in Utah it collects all electronic Data. Including bank transactions credit card use travel they know much more than we realize. Satan cannot do the things of God he needs these systems to control us.

O dear! He really is a threat to their “democracy”…
Key word there is “their”… only theirs. Our Republic says they’re the threat to our Democratic Republic!
When PDJT puts this into force it will give voters in all the western yellow countries more leverage to pressure their own governments to follow suit.
Let it happen SOON.
I agree that the timing of this announcement was perfect. He laid down the gauntlet and looked the real enemy right in the eye.
He signaled to us that he knows the stakes and to them that he knows their game. Trump has got so much courage. They are not used to that. They control everyone else with fear. Now it’s their turn to be fearful.
Any hope that the “journalists” will ask DeSantis and Haley what their opinion/plan is for the CBDC?
Well said
if thwre is any lesson about governemnt and human nature from the last 3 decades it is:
“If it can be abused, it will be abused, and if you are only just aware of it, it has been abused, and to an extent much worse than you initially realize.”
therefore, any powers that can be abused against the Natural Rights of the people of the USA needs be denied to the government and reserved only in and with the people.
Now that’s a statement. Hear that Jesus we pray
go back to real money, not this counterfeit crap used to fund every evil exploit imaginable.
We need to go back to the gold standard. Period.
I’d settle for any hard asset; make it gold, silver, platinum, copper… as long as it’s real.
Isn’t that what the BRICS group is doing (or going to do)?
BINGO!!! WINNER, WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!
The money they are churning out IS our equity and rights to real property, natural resources, etc., they are spending it down until you will own nothing.
They are STEALING OUR MONEY!
It’s called inflation.
There is a precedent in the Bible called The Year of Jubilee – the moment when all debts were cancelled, property sold was returned to the tribal owner….
This was programed into the ancient economic system, most likely a counter weight to the way many economic systems get out of balance.
How one could fashion such a moment for us that would have meaningful impact and establish a solid economic pathway forward I am unable to propose.
If there are others qualified to fashion such an idea…..may they do so.
I’ve been waiting on the Jubilee Year now for nearly four years.
There’s a good argument to be made about the Biblical timing of the overturning of Roe v. Wade (49 years).
But we still need the monetary Jubilee.
Remember we got off of the gold standard by executive order and executive order by him can get rid of that!!!

Soros funded Vivek, capturing the opportunity to be seen publicly as one of us, when he tried to run against Trump
Perhaps his purpose all along was to take Pence’s position – in more ways than one….
I don’t know … Alex Jones seems to like him. In any event, I’ll give him praise when he deserves it.
Vivek Ramaswami reminds me of that Guy from India that is the prime Minister of Ireland.
so, his parents are from India, does he have dual citizenship?
Something is just not quite right about the Guy?
People with dual citizenship should never hold office in our government. Sorry.
Vivek Ramaswamy, like Nimrata, is not a natural born U.S. citizen. They are both ineligible to run for U.S. president or vice-president. Neither was Kamalalala Harris. It irritates me no end that NONE of the “talking heads”, including Tucker Carlson, ever bring this up.
yep yep yep
Too late – copycat
To CFP Nation: In the 1960’s, many foreign nations saw the US inflating our currency and rushed to convert / cash in their dollars to / for gold.
By the time Nixon became president, their was a run on the US gold reserve. In order to protect and preserve our nation’s gold reserves, Nixon had no choice but to close the gold window.
I am probably going to be downvoted, but that was the reality the US faced at the time.
I don’t think you will be down voted, but the only thing I would take issue with is that you present Nixon’s dilemma as an act of God. The reason he had no choice was because of the MIC:
Prof Michael HUDSON – De-Dollarization – Toward the End of U.S. Monetary Hegemony?
It is a bit like a historian 50 years from now writing, “because so many people migrated to the United States, the government had no choice but to grant them all citizenship”. The historian omits that previous to that the government deliberately left the border open.
You are correct that is what happened!
You are correct, but that was largely driven by the offshore / Eurodollar was it not?
No Eurodollar, no need to depart from the gold standard.
I am not well versed in finance so my comment could be one of complete ignorance but here goes…
I don’t think the problem is in the “money” in whatever form. I think the problem is the “moneychangers”.
It’s not the currency, it’s the manipulation of the currency.
Right now, we have a petro-dollar. We are going to be using our own petro, as President Trump calls it, “liquid gold” right under our feet to help rebuild our economy.
The world is going to continue to rely on oil, natural gas, coal, etc (conventional energy sources) well into our future. It would therefore appear that the petro-dollar would continue to be a stable form of currency backing well into the future as well.
We are not moving away from these conventional energy sources despite what the Green New Scammers say. The Green New Scammers are simply “moneychangers/currency manipulators” in a different form.
They are buying up and protecting land under the guise of conservation. Step back and re-evaluate why they are buying that land. Is it to save the trees and natural beauty on the surface? Or is it to gain access to the “liquid gold” underneath?
What am I missing?
There’s a play on to purchase real hard assets including real estate. They know know they built a house of cards with all the spending and corruption.
Agree. The Mormon Church has amassed hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland across the US => hard asset strategy.
Agree. The problem is CENTRAL. Digital currency is one aspect–and a huge one. Cental Banks, (Central) Federal Reserve, (Central) One World Government, (Central) ACA, Central . . . this or that. We don’t vote for any of this garbage used to control nearly every aspect of our lives. Synonym for fascism.
I completely agree. “Central” in order to centralize power and control through their choke point/control mechanism.
The petrodollar is only good for the U.S. as long as our dollar is the reserve currency of the world.
That is changing, for a variety reasons mostly centered around our huge budget deficits. Countries like China and India are selling their U.S. treasury bonds and not buying many to replace them. And these BRICS countries are developing their own reserve currencies.
The petrodollar was created by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia in exchange for defense protection for the latter. Saudi is now pulling away from that agreement.
We have an ample supply of “petro”. That isn’t going anywhere regardless of the exchange method.
Look who else has plenty of their own natural resources to sustain themselves and use for trading. Thinking of Saudi Arabia, Russia, China, countries in South America, etc.
Then look at which countries who are not rich in natural resources/are not self sustaining. Are those the countries who are pushing all these power and control schemes? Are they the money changers because they have no leverage otherwise? They have limited resources and therefore not much of value to trade?
Big picture, the US has plenty of natural resources so the US may not have to worry as much as other countries who don’t.
Agree in principle, but I think the #1 safest thing is to Never give the moneychangers the tool in the first place.
Power corrupts. Deny the power, avoid the temptation toward corruption. AKA Checks and Balances.
🎯💥^^^^^
Who do you think controls the currency?
I think we may be witnessing a shift in who controls the currency.
I guess that may be my whole point.
The “crowd” who has controlled it for a long time may be in the process of losing their grasp.
I don’t know but it seems huge tectonic shifts are underway.
Too many have been awoken to their long held power and control schemes.
I sense a sort of frantic atmosphere. When Ursula at Davos says they need to regain trust, I believe that is the tell they have lost control and they know it.
Fair point.
But to lose total control, the Fed must be ended and currency tied to precious metals or commodities, imo.
True, a few hundred years a ago Tulips, yes tulips were an important currency.
Centuries before that it was spices…Pepper was much sought after.
We have stuff, “ good quality dirt etc” However we value health one’s useful education and a sincere spiritual connection as invaluable.

BLACKROCK LEADING THE WA
My God that man has some courage. I doubt it was a statement that brought vast numbers of votes but it seriously increased the number of targets on his back.
Can you imagine the effect at the breakfast tables in Davos this morning? Suddenly, from left field, President Trump became the main topic of conversation as climate change/Ukraine/Gaza vanished. Love it!
He is getting some more targets but also some supporters. Trump’s announcement corresponds with that Jamie Dimon announcement from yesterday. Dimon knows that if CBDCs are implemented, there will be no need for commercial / private banks (which own the FED btw):
Sovereign Money Creation – A Better Way Forward?
“What happens with the bankers? In a sovereign money creation system, commercial banks would lose their possibility to create money through loans.”
https://www.happonomy.org/sovereign-money-creation/
Profiting Without Producing: How Finance Exploits Us All — A lecture by Costas Lapavitsas
By prohibiting retail CBDCs Trump is precluding a government take over of banking (which leads to things like the Canadian Truckers losing their accounts, way more ESG, etc) but it still leaves us with predatory commercial banks and the Wall Street casino. I suppose that will be the next battle to fight, if not getting rid of them, then forcing them to finance the real main street / productive economy.
PS: We need to be careful because there is a Democrat / Progressive convergence in play. Elizabeth Warren wants to end commercial / central banking also, in order to implement retail CBDCs. Many of us also want to end it or reform it, but not by giving the government more control. The dilemma is a little like Citizens United, where the court could either allow complete free speech or have the government regulate it and currently the government is crazy.
I fear the ‘assist’ from Jamie Dimon is simply a tactic. As soon as the commercial banks negotiate for their spot at the new global banking round table they will turn on the common man and embrace CBDC
Jamie is just jockeying for position
We need the States to develop alternative currencies and create public banks that are outside the federal reserve
We need this ASAP
Sorry but I don’t see how that could work or how it would help.
Wouldn’t states adopting a foreign currency like Russian or Chinese have the same effect?
What about trade between states? or travel?
I foresee Money Changers at every state border.
There has to be a common currency that is accepted nationwide.
YES.
Every state should have a public state bank like North Dakota.
Remember BlackRock being put in charge of dispensing all the Covid money.
Same same.
Best part is, we know he means it. Unlike all the other puppets and controlled opposition, he’s studied the issue and developed a position on it, and then introduces it into a political campaign. Politics as it should be, not just empty posturing and mouthing approved but meaningless slogans. It sets up a clear choice, which the Uniparty despises. They want no choice, only slavery.
Trump 2024.
“…he’s studied the issue and developed a position on it, and then introduces it into a political campaign.”
Astute summation. And with all the rallies, the President will just keep hammering the issue home. The best part is, whatever he says becomes news, so people who were previously unaware (or not interested) may now be discussing the issue around the dinner table.
Thank you President Trump. If there was ever any doubt you were the man for the job to lead us in the fight against the Fascist Build Back Better, Green New Deal, Agenda 2030 evil, you’ve dispelled it and proven you understand the dire state of civilization and humanity.
We’ve come a long way from politicians promising a chicken in every pot. I’m encouraged by the fact that regular people even know what risks CBDC entail.
On the ragged edge of living memory (91 years ago) that FDR outlawed private gold ownership. We can’t say we weren’t warned.
Ford reversed in 1974, FDR wanted gold to bail out the banks.
Nuff said. ACTION!
This is probably why more than any other reason that the deep state is playing all four corners against President Trump and MAGA. This is for all the marbles.
Jamie Dimon comes out fearfully telling Dems to back off on Trump as a seemingly conciliatory gesture.
Same day, Trump slams ‘their’ pet project CBDC.
Rot roh.
Epic!!!!!
No Quarter, indeed!
Jamie is gonna be pissed. 😤 😡
Classic troll.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dimon was right about not demonizing
halftwo/thirdsthree/quarters of the country.But he’s still a gangster.
THIS will garner him even more support. So many of us have been trying to figure out how in the world we can live outside the financial system due to the supposed impending disaster of CBDCs. We want cold hard cash and we want to be able to earn it and spend it how we see fit, not the government’s boot on our necks.
I know it is hard to watch this stuff, but if you want to know what TPTB intend for us, this is a good introduction:
L. Randall Wray – Modern Money Theory for Beginners
The key point is that inverts the current system. Instead of money being a natural organic development to facilitate trade, the MMTers assert that the government is the real source of money. What that does is put the government outside the real / productive economy. Now, what the government can do is limited by the amount of taxes it can collect (or debts it can afford to pay off) but with MMT, that won’t matter, the government is then completely free. If anyone wants money, private citizens or corporations, they will have to go to the government for it. Furthermore, because the government is disconnected from the real productive economy, there is no need for a such an economy, so we get more deindustrialization and decarbonization and companies like Blackrock and Google bending over backwards to stay in the government’s good graces.
“… assert that the government is the real source of money.”
Brilliant move. EVIL AS HELL but brilliant. Started (or coalesced in its present wave) with Barry the Kenyan.
Yep. He does the “magic trick” in the first 10 minutes and says we are living with a mistaken assumption (what is wrong with the orthodox story). Originally all cells divided by asexual reproduction, so where did we come up with the mistaken notion of two sexes / genders? uffffffff
Our support is nothing compared to the hatred his enemies have for him and the threat to their agenda; they will do what
They did to JFK if it looks like he is winning!
My own biggest concern is a probable tie-in between access to one’s money and vaccine status.
President Trump fully understands these central banks are theives
Once they control digital currencies they will go after our properties in the name of climate change. 100% slavery.
What would happen if Trump wins but then they disrupt his term to the point of ineffectiveness?…
You’ll have Judges block everything he does for 2 years. Bad actors protected by “there’s an investigation” so you can’t do anything until he’s done type of thing. There are enough RINOs in both chambers to slow down his nominations among everything else they’ll do…
This term, seems to me, will be harder than his first.
There are no simple answers here…
He learned from his first term.
Day One :
FIRE Everyone Biden and Obama hired
The ones protected from termination through various laws, regulations etc. reassign to menial jobs in tent camps wherever
Anyone Senate/Representatives will not approve for a position, appoint said from a rotating roster of temporaries.
MOST important, a rotating roster of heavyweights to inform the citizenry at daily press briefings.
DO NOT let MSM shape a single issue. NO shouting questions without being called
We already had 4 years of that.
Well, try or die trying. Boo hoo doesn’t work in this foxhole.
This discussion of digital currency brought on by Trump will wake up many people who have not been paying attention. Digital currency? Government control? It is not difficult to understand when the topic is given sunlight.
Trump is the real light bringer to so many of these nefarious schemes.
Yes–a lot of people had no idea their life savings were about to be put on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Yup! This just makes them hate him even more, and makes us love him that much more!
Pray and Fast folks, pray and fast!!!
We started purchasing metals when Obama was elected. Our investment guy kind of poked fun of me. I enjoy bouncing ideas off of him. 2 years ago he called to inform me the firm “now” sells physical gold. I just said, really? If you hedge, get the physical in your hand metal. What you see advertised is as unsafe as bitcoin. IMHO
I think the hedge fund managers and politicians jumping out windows would be a major plus for all, except, perhaps, their families!
AMEN!!
He’s coming. They will crunch their teeth. The inevitable will happen whether they like it or not. God wins ALWAYS.
Amen!
I cannot wait to see them all praying for the mountains to fall upon them.
Digital currency is being pushed hard by the globalists because they know the world is on the verge of financial collapse from massive public debt.
This digital currency concept was to be the escape hatch from impending financial collapse that wipes out the wealth of the elites.
If money becomes nothing but but computer numbers with the government in charge, all regular people become slaves of the tyrants. Say something in dissent or act against the tyrants and your ability to buy anything is destroyed in a few keystrokes of a computer keyboard. You and your family starve and are thrown into the street for your disobedient speech or behavior. You won’t even know who did it or who can fix it.
Once they ran out of gold they went to a fiat currency (bolstered by oil / petrodollar) and now that they have printed too much of that they hope everyone will take a retail CBDC for ten cents on the dollar. Meanwhile, each year more than trillion dollars goes to “national defense” when the nation really needs to be defended from the elites running the system. (sigh)
Indeed, money facilitates the quality of our lives. Without our personal control over it, we have no freedom.
My state’s legislature (both chambers) just passed their own version of a “No CBDC allowed/accepted” bill. I imagine there are more.
This is GREAT and nudges me firmly into the Trump camp because I don’t think anyone else has pledged anything close to this. It probably puts him in even more danger, though.
Good. Bravo Trump… and we never really questioned his position on the topic :-D. Can’t say that about any other republican other than Vivek or Burgum.
President Trump is the door man at the club, and he just pulled Jamie Dimon’s fake ID and said, “No way, kid.” LOL
You would be surprised about how many of your fellow citizens want to be slaves.
https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/federal-government-flagged-transactions-using-terms-maga-and-trump-financial
With FedNow coming online and the public-private partnerships they have for spying on you with warrantless searches, or judge shopping for a warrant in an area you will never win, it makes CBDCs look like a stalking horse.
We can’t simply hold the line at CBDCs. We have to roll back the intelligence community and put up a transparent legal framework that holds them all accountable. Zero tolerance.
This is so important and most people don’t even know what he means.
I have been worried about this for a long time.
The best thing about this announcement by Trump is people will become more aware of the dangers of a CDBC, and force the MSM to talk about it, thus creating even more awareness. We know the MSM can’t restrain themselves.
Somewhat philosophical questions for the treehouse;
Is the modern notion of capitalism the same as free enterprise/private ownership? Or are they opposing systems?
Are the money changers who live and die by a stock price and speculation the same as a small business owner, or are their interest in opposition?
Is being a wage slave to a giant financial interest, the same as growing, producing, adding value and trading in a local economy?
Thinking out loud and asking are we framing the discussion properly and asking the right questions. Only food for thought.
All these questions are good. Thanks for putting them out there.
The ‘reasons’ my rural father gave for being republican when I was approaching voting age … in retrospect seem like hijacked words from people who cared nothing at all about private ownership, small business, local economy, etc. In fact, agriculture itself has been captured by Big Ag players, right up there with Big Pharma and all the rest. We are incentivizing the wrong entities. But hey, at least the stock market looks good, right?!? Never mind lost community, lost culture, etc.
We must more often say, “Define your terms.” Let the 2020’s be the decade of skepticism and unmasking.
Good questions! The way they gave the current economy arranged you (or anyone with money, including banks) would be a nut case to try and build or produce anything when you could get much better returns investing in the stock market or other paper financial instruments by essentially clicking a mouse.

It is interesting his timing to publicly declare his opinion on this. Why has he waited? Why choose now (when Davos is meeting). There are many ways that competent outliers who don’t tow the new agenda are being discriminated against and kept from being an agent for good in our world. Control of the banks is a big one. But the discrimination is already occurring in that we “unfavorable” people are being denied loans.
The article below has been posted before. It made a lot of things make sense to me, and it clearly explains the ideological forces shaping the western world, likely by design and how they are working against our merit based system, which is God’s way, which is consistent with principles of the universe. The control of our money is one more way we are being broken down and incapacitated ideologically:
