In this brief video below {Direct Rumble Link Here} Former Blackrock portfolio manager, Ed Dowd, explains why every last remnant of human freedom depends on mass resistance to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). “Once the central bank digital currency is linked to all your credit cards and bank accounts, then social controls can be implemented. If you’re a dissenter like me, talking about truth, they shut you down.” WATCH:
I know at first blush a lot of this CBDC discussion seems esoteric, difficult to understand, and there are a lot of other issues happening simultaneously in the background. However, if you contemplate the biggest threat on this overarching power arc of western government, you arrive to understand how serious this seemingly opaque issue really is.
I first started to deep dive research into these CBDC datapoints when the Russian sanctions were triggered. You see, nothing about them really makes sense from the way they were structured; additionally, the intensity of the drive to make the sanctions the tip of the western spear was just too pointed, something about it didn’t make sense. That’s what took me to dig deep into the impact and realize nothing said about these financial sanctions makes sense when compared against their actual irrelevance {Go Deep}.
When the White House first started openly saying the Biden administration was reviewing how to implement CBDC’s, yes THAT Announcement ACTUALLY HAPPENED, September 2022, then things from a research perspective really started to get serious. “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.” Whenever the U.S. govt says they’re “undecided,” pay close attention.
First things first with the Western financial sanctions- specifically the SWIFT exchange. It is true you cannot use VISA, Mastercard or any mainstream Western financial tools to conduct business in Russia; however, the number of workarounds for this issue are numerous. One of those tools is the use of a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin; and within that reality, you find something very ominous about the USA motive against crypto.
(Newsmax) – JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on Wednesday suggested bitcoin currency should be banned. Dimon was speaking during a Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee hearing on Capitol Hill.
“I’ve always been deeply opposed to crypto, bitcoin, etc.,” Dimon said in response to a question from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. “The only true use case for it is criminals, drug traffickers … money laundering, tax avoidance because it is somewhat anonymous, not fully, and because you can move money instantaneously. “If I was the government, I would close it down.” (read more)
Dimon was/is positioning JPMorgan to be a facilitating beneficiary of the financial control system evident within any CBDC process.
Here’s how it really looks from the outside looking at the USA. The same way the Patriot Act was not designed to stop terrorism but rather to create a domestic surveillance system. So too were the “Russian Sanctions” not designed to sanction Russia, but rather to create the financial control system that will lead to a USA digital currency.
The Western sanctions created a financial wall around the USA, not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in. The Western sanction regime, the financial mechanisms they created and authorized, creates the control gate that leads to a U.S. digital currency.
Now, does the exploding debt and seeming govt ambivalence, the stuff Ed Dowd is talking about, take on a new perspective? It should, because that unspoken motive explains everything. It all just makes sense when reviewed through this prism of motive and intent. Again, the western sanctions against Russia are not having an impact against Russia; they are having a quiet impact in the USA and western dollar-based economic system that no one is permitted to talk about.
Bottom line, the non-pretending reasoning. The US Treasury has set the financial system on an almost unreversible path to a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency. As direct consequence crypto currency alternatives are a threat to the establishment of that western objective. This reality also pulls in the explanation around why the USA is so all-in for the banker-driven World War Reddit, the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
How did the Obama administration go from all efforts to be on good relations with Russia 2009 through 2015, then suddenly pivot to the exact opposite with the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy, the Russian election interference nonsense, the expulsion of Russian diplomats in Dec/Jan 2017 and suddenly Vladimir Putin as the archvillain for the world? Apparently, few have ever really asked how that happened.
Here’s the big picture, as seen through the prism of the EU and the non-pretenders in Eastern Europe.
The Marxists in the Obama admin needed a boogeyman in order to pull off their domestic heist and secure the “fundamental change.” The CIA and State Dept were deployed to utilize Ukraine in 2014 to create the boogeyman, Russia. Ukraine would be the stick to poke Russia. The USA needed a proxy; they created one and made the participants rich.
Provoked, Russia fell into the trap and took control of Crimea as they perceived the NATO expansion and likely control of the Black Sea as a threat. The Crimea move gave the CIA and State Dept the exact response they intended.
The Russia boogeyman was created.
But why? Why would the effort of the U.S. Government be to provoke and create this crisis?
In the biggest of big pictures, the domestic fundamental change needed it. We needed a reason to put walls around the U.S – not to keep Russia out, but to keep Americans locked in. Conflict with Russia became the Obama version of Bush’s conflict with Iraq. Putin now cast to play the role of Bin Laden.
The Patriot Act was never intended to stop foreign terrorists from attacking the USA. The Patriot Act was intended to create the DHS surveillance system for domestic control. It succeeded. The Russian sanctions were never intended to sanction Russia (and they don’t). The Western sanctions against Russia were intended to build walls around the U.S. financial system.
Ostracizing the world’s global trade currency, the dollar, from the global trade system was/is a necessary step in controlling domestic currency. If there is a threat, the government needs to respond. That’s how the crisis is created and not wasted.
Yes, what I am saying is there was a longer and deeper play afoot, a ‘trillions at stake’ game by those who control money and power, using foreign threat as the justification for something that just would not be possible without it. That’s why Trump was never allowed to breathe for a moment, whenever Russia or Vladimir Putin was mentioned. The control forces needed Trump to be adversarial to Russia, regardless of whether the threat was real. After all, it was supposed to be a willfully blind Hillary Clinton in place during this phase.
Conflict with Russia created the opportunity for the USA to create a sanctions regime that doesn’t truly sanction Russia, instead it controls the world of USA finance. At the end of that control mechanism is a digital dollar, a Central Bank Digital Currency…. and by extension full control over U.S. citizen activity. The Marxist holy grail.
That moment is closer than most can fathom, and that is exactly why the counterforce of a cryptocurrency, a rebellious mechanism for free people to exchange payment for goods and services, must be stopped by the same USG that is triggering the CBDC. Crypto is a threat. Jamie Dimon, along with all the major banks and financial institutions, is one key beneficiary that CBDC (a transactional player for fees therein) so long as JPMorgan stays on task.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon opposes cryptocurrency.
Democrats, really Marxists, oppose cryptocurrency.
Republicans, really financial beneficiaries of the largesse, oppose crypto currency.
The narrative…. Only criminals, that means those who would be defined as domestic terrorists like pesky remnants of our nation who demand freedom and liberty, would support cryptocurrency. Criminals, tax cheats, bad people support crypto. Don’t be a bad person comrade citizen. Insert vote, pull lever, get pellet, go back to sleep. You will own nothing and be happy comrade.
Yes, that’s the bigger picture.
Can it be stopped? I laugh, look in the mirror, think about the reality of how many people think this is an absurd conspiracy theory, and respond with…. How many people even know about the thing you are asking to oppose?
How many people would believe the Western sanctions against Russia were really the USG building a cage to keep us in. How about we start there. That’s my answer.
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 against CBDC’s just puts an exclamation point on how the multinational financial systems will hate/oppose him even more.
This 2024 election is critical for a variety of reasons. However, high atop that list is this issue of how a dollar based CBDC is a threat to every liberty we cherish.
The Texas fiasco sounds like a scam from the Biden/Bush Texas regime to derail Trump.
If this continues to escalate can Biden declare Texas insurrectionists and boot them from the 2024 election and thus stealing another election from Trump and the people??!!
Abbott is a Bush puppet. They are setting this up for something. Trump just said other states should send their national guard. Will Trump and other states be booted from 2024 elections because they are all insurrectionists??!!
Abbott has had years to deal with illegal immigration and has done nothing as directed by the Bush clan who like open borders. This stinks like a setup.
Exactly my thoughts.
This is the burr under my saddle, too –
why did Abbott just not really do anything while AG Paxton was going through his ordeal?
That’s kind of a glitch to me, why didn’t he stand up for Paxton and why actually did he just do this border thing like a “test” at Shelby Park? But if it IS indeed a ploy in cahoots with The Bush Family, couldn’t it get out ahead of them like a brush fire that was just meant to burn down one guy’s ranch that they wanted to eliminate and winds up engulfing them as well?
Playing with fire.
Reaping the whirlwind.
I just thought, “Hmmmm?”
Paxton and Abbott are against one another’s interests. Here in my district, there is one politician running for Texas house that is backed by Abbott, and another backed by Paxton. Abbott has a huge PAC that is putting people up for election to the Texas House and Senate. And Abbott is using school choice as the issue to coalesce around.
I would like someone to ask the question: why now, Gov. Abbott? He is not up for re-election. Why now, after nothing for three years? After our border cities have been overrun? Why now? I know the puppet masters have given the green light. But I want to know why.
And why is he in India?
Applying for his dream retirement laundering job. Or an importer of more voters.
The problem is it’s all lawful and Trump isn’t even involved.
It may be opportunistic for Abbott politically but the policy is supported by such a vast majority of US citizens that Biden has no winning move. Sure he could start a civil war or invalidate the entire federal government but that would be such a loss the marxists could never recover.
Sigh of relief. Thanks Ellis..
Makes sense.
Abbott is WEF and played politics with this for years. Suddenly he sounds tough? I’m not the brightest bulb but I know better than that.
Good, boot conservative states from under the boot of Orwell’s 1984 and these globalist monsters. The communist states will crumble and starve without us.
Yes! I have been thinking the same thing. Why has Abbott done NOTfor 3 years? Stinky!
The establishment of both parties is using the Texas vs federal government border constitutional crisis to enlist enough support in Congress to pass the Great Border Security Sellout bill. The bill the codifies by an act of Congress that the border CANNOT BE CLOSED unless more than 5,000 illegals cross over in a day. Only then can the border be temporarily closed for the remainder of that day. It reopens the next day and again will admit up to 5,000 more illegal migrants. That is 1.825 million illegal migrants per year. And neither Trump or any other president can stop that by an executive order since an EO cannot override an act of Congress. The Republicans have sold out the people of America by agreeing to this. It’s up to the House to stop it. But it will only take 4 RINOs to join the Dems in passing it. And we all know there are more than 4 RINOs in the House itching to do it.
The US Constitution is extremely clear on this. But are the Justices?
Interesting, another insurrection setup. Nothing is beyond these people although I would think they would have to indict all governors that participate in sending guardsman to Texas. I think the RGA acted first in writing the Letter before the President made his public statement.
I think Abbott made his move now because the public opinion has changed dramatically regarding the border. It has become a toxic issue and Abbott could not sit on the fence any longer he had to do something. His inactivity has been exposed by people like Tucker Carlson and Paxton so he had to take a stand. Thank the Lord he made the right decision. In late breaking news the border patrol has sided with the Texas national guard so Biden has few good options left. We will see what happens next. Hopefully Roberts and Barrett will wake up and support border control in future rulings.
Russia is in on the scam with the US. They are playing their role just like the Chinese did with Covid
I’m starting to come to the same conclusion. Time will tell.
As long as Russia and China can benefit and watch the USA descend into hell, why would they not help the globalists ruin the country and our currency? BRICS would be a huge beneficiary of a bankrupt US. However, China’s economy will take a very huge hit from a US collapse.
Nope. Great Britain.
French conservatives slam political judgment after top constitutional court waters down immigration bill
The Constitutional Council, comprising several former politicians, struck down several hardline amendments proposed by right-wing parties, leaving conservative leaders calling for constitutional reform and a referendum on immigration
https://rmx.news/migration/french-conservatives-slam-political-judgment-after-top-constitutional-court-waters-down-immigration-bill/
If I wanted any crap out of these people, I’d squeeze their heads!
It is treason. The sick oligarchs who are truly in control are destroying this country while half the dumb 💩s in this country watch CNN and go, “Nothing to see here!”
The same thing happened with people mesmerized by Hitler’s charismatic bs. They fell for it until they found themselves ensnared. I am not comparing Crapper-in-Chief with anyone remotely charismatic. I am referencing the propaganda being spewed by universities, the MSM, and Hollywood, etc.
The same questions could be put to Abbott.
I’m not sure of the timeline, but I am curious when the river barrier and other actions started. I have read that Abbott deployed the Guard well before that, but they can be deployed to areas where there is not much of a bar to illegals crossing.
Was Paxton pushing for action on the border? Was that the reason for his sham impeachment? Was that why Abbott left him twist in the wind?
Paxton wins and stays in office, and suddenly Abbott gets tough enough on the border to set up a serious confrontation with the feds?
Is all of this happening because Paxton is still in office and demanding something be done?
With any professional politician you can never tell whether he/she is telling the truth (very rare) or lying through their teeth to garner support (99% of the time).
My position: Never believe a politician.
It should be noted that there is no political constituency for harming bitcoin. It is by far the largest computer network on the planet. there are over 50 million individuals in the US alone who own bitcoin and more that own bitcoin derivatives. And conversely, there aren’t many who take the opposite view – at least not beyond saying they don’t want to own it.
Is there a real constituency for CBDCs? Not really. Is there a constituency against – you bet – bitcoin owners. So purely from a political standpoint it will be tough sledding to implement them.
When I say “It is by far the largest computer network on the planet” I mean that bitcoin is secured by a decentralized (many thousands of independent compute centers) ledger that is many times larger than the entire “cloud” infrastructure of Amazon and Microsoft combined. And since the great majority of ASICs are owned by self interested bitcoin miners, even if the government co-opted all of the cloud space and even created more cloud as fast as it could, it would have almost zero chance of defeating bitcoin (51%).
So, what happens if there is an EMP or some kind of globalist hacking or taking down the system, etc. Then what happens to your crypto? These globalist monsters are always up to no good?
The bitcoin ledger exists on hundreds of thousands of computers and is decentralized and immune to an EMP attach. Furthermore, bitcoin miners don’t have to be connected to “the grid” and many, many nodes are independent of any electric utility. In fact, an increasing number of miners are electricity providers and operate in remote parts of Africa, for example, bringing electricity to villages that prior to that had no electricity.
…read the book “One Second After”…though fiction, it’s based on qualified expertise from knowledgable professionals about the power of a “real” EMP…
I get your point.
Constituency? Tyrants don’t need no stinkin’ constituency!
Bingo.
When has the existence of a “real constituency” against the globalists’ plans ever stopped them? Such situations slow them down but, as the same time, make the globalists more devious.
“This note is legal tender for all debts, public or private” … another one bites the dust. Don’t let it happen. Sweden and Ireland now have passed laws mandating the acceptance of paper money and coin, i.e., ‘Cash’, for all commerce.
Ireland has also recently passed ‘hate thought’ laws that mandate prison for badthink.
6 ways to Sunday…
Remember during covid, and how they closed down sectors of the economy and they wouldn’t let you buy paint and such? Since economics is a theory, they now have a set blueprint on how to manipulate each market.
This ties into the digital currency rollout, also.
And how does CBDC pass the constitutional test? Oh yeah, we have political prisoners and no constitution.
How does this event fit in with the whole picture?
US SEC approves bitcoin ETFs in watershed for crypto market
https://www.reuters.com/technology/bitcoin-etf-hopefuls-still-expect-sec-approval-despite-social-media-hack-2024-01-10/
Good question!
Very interesting news. BlackRock and the other mega investment houses appear to have driven this. Maybe they hope to generate major income quickly, then will stand down as the Feds change their tune on bitcoin?
its probably not everyone’s cup of tea for entertainment but seriously… did anyone here ever watch the Mr Robot series?
“Evilcorp” was basically just like JPM, and a dark conspiracy of people, including creepy chinese elements, caused a global economic collapse, and then they brought in e-money to solve it all and forced the presidents hand to basically sign up for everyone to get it instead of dollars.
stranger than fiction, mate…
Predictive programming to introduce the idea .
Never seen that before 🤔🙄
When the Federal Reserve Association was bankrupted some years back, Chase and JP Morgan acquired the FEDERAL RESERVE and FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD OF GOVERNORS trademarks. Just so you know.
I saw it. Life is stranger than fiction.
Yeah, but the story goes on to illustrate what a disaster it was and makes clear the dystopian outcome.
So if anything, it serves as a cautionary tale.
“Max Headroom” characters had credit tubes ILO what we call money. Those tubes contained your ID as well as access to your financial assets. “Max” was on broadcast TV, no less, during the late 1980s. Prescient in more ways than one, it was.
Edward Dowd is brilliant not only on this topic but also on the C-19 scamdemic. I highly recommend his book, “Cause Unknown, The Epidemic of Sudden Deaths in 2021 and 2022”.
👍
Did you ever wonder why Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff and others on the left justify their actions by saying they must “defend democracy”? It’s a play on words.
“By definition, a republic is a representative form of government that is ruled according to a charter, or constitution, and a democracy is a government that is ruled according to the will of the majority. Although these forms of government are often confused, they are quite different. The main difference between a republic and a democracy is the charter or constitution that limits power in a republic, often to protect the individual’s rights against the desires of the majority.”
If your confused about what we have here in America,… its a Republic. ” I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the R E P U B L I C for which it stands.
Respectfully, b226, my understanding of these two terms differs from what you have stated. IMO, these terms describe two independent characteristics of governments:
A republic is a government that has no monarch. Rather than sovereignty being vested in a monarch, sovereignty is vested in the People. Hence the word RE-PUBLIC. The term republic concerns sovereignty but does NOT address how government officials are determined.
A democracy is a government whose officials are determined by the People via elections. The term democracy concerns the process of determining who the government officials are but does NOT address sovereignty.
The United States of America is BOTH. The USA is a republic (i.e., with NO king or queen, and whose sovereignty is vested in the We the People); AND the USA a democracy (where the president, VP and members of the House of Representatives are elected by the People).
The 17th Amendment screwed up the power balance, making Senators directly elected by the people, but that’s a separate issue.
I posted a video up above your post which might describe the more sinister view.
The framers explicitly rejected democracy as the form of government.
But I do like your breakdown of re-public.
I would say you need to read the federalists Papers. We are a representative republic. And yes the 17th amendment screwed it up.
Totally agree -and so do the authors at FoundingDefenders.org. At this link is an excellent explanation of how and why our founding fathers choose to establish a Constitutional Republic
It’s a great read –

I don’t wonder about them at all. I just believe they should be incarcerated. That is the action taken against those who commit treason.
I hope you can have a chance to see this…it’s a codeword.
Constitutional Republic
God bless you for pointing this out! The framers wanted no part of a democracy! If Trump is a “threat to democracy “ then the Constitution is too!!!!
Their exposed achilles heel will be the bad guy’s downfall.
It is impossible to put the cryptocurrency genie back in the bottle. All this threat of a cbdc dies is just make cryptocurrencies more appealing.
Instituting a cbdc would just be a catalyst for people to develop and move into other forms of currency.
I may be “Too Old” School but doesn’t any currency have to some value? like Gold? or some form of guaranteed payback?
Otherwise, you just have an investment with no guarantee of outcome.
Modern Monetary Theory, piled onto SEC rules about US funds held offshore, have both fundamentally ended reserve requirements. Fiat money can be, and is, created by a government’s mere say-so these days.
The main value of Bitcoin is that it cannot be inflated. 21million of them will be mined and……no more. Like the 20th amendment on federal enumerated powers……and no more. The “no more” is the important part.
Sorry! Typo—10th amendment!
Politicians don’t do anything until 12 months prior to an election. The public has a short attention span and the efforts would be watered down by their opponents and ineffective by voting time. in the meantime, a lot of damage is done but that’s what they have to deal with. They have to orchestrate it so there is peak frustration and anger by November. Same with sports.
CBDCs are the basis for the final enslavement of humanity. To fully implement, they require Digital IDs – which will first be implemented via smart phones, but ultimately will be implemented via an implanted chip under your skin (effectively the mark of the beast).
Once implemented, the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) will deploy an already tested and established system call of “the global unified ledger.” This digital system will be a digital ledger of ALL property, assets, people, resources, and transactions. Every transaction of any kind that occurs using CBDCs will be put into this digital ledger, sniffed, analyzed, and indexed. They will know all there is to know – and be able to at the stroke of a key to take away everything you thought you owned.
These CBDCs are likely to be programmable based upon all current discussions. They will be able to say what you can and can’t buy and how much of it you may buy. They will be able to put limits on how long you can hold the money – spend it within 5 days or it is taken from you – gone.
The level of control and surveillance is beyond the imagination of most, it is so insidious and evil.
This has been in the works for a long time (I’ve been tracking its progress over 10 years and some even longer). The technology to implement it has existed for over a decade, including the implantable chip. The global unified ledger is already up and running (Project Aurora), waiting for inputs and processing. In a survey in 2021 by the BIS, 9 out of 10 central banks indicated they were looking at implementation of a CBDC. They ran a year long test on the underlying software to work out the bugs already, with the UK being a key part of the test (Project Rosalind). The US “backbone” of a CBDC system is already in place (Fed NOW).
You can search for “global digital ledger” or “BIS unified ledger”, “CBDC”, and “Digital ID” and find a veritable mountain of information and plans.
One of the most important ways to find against its implementation is to quit using credit cards and debit cards for all of your transactions and going back to using CASH for all transactions that are local in nature (i.e. not online). Other things are refusing to do business with anywhere that doesn’t allow cash transactions. OH, and get rid of your smart phones – if you must have a cell phone, get a pure text/voice flip phone that is neither Android or iOS based.
Links to videos on the subject, including discussions by WEF members and the heads of the IMF and BIS.
In its final form, it resembles just one thing…
Or, could put your savings in lead currency, wait until they try to introduce this chip, and ask if its available in a suppository form “so you can SHOVE it up yer *ss, cause I ain’t takin it!”
I doubt any treeper would take it – but it wasn’t about what occurs if it’s implemented – it was about stopping it from being implemented 😉
So I would say that the bank is playing both sides. History would dictate they haven’t changed, and by playing both sides, that is funding both sides, ensures they don’t lose. In other words they likely created BTC (CIA/NSA joint venture let’s say), while simultaneously calling it evil. Regardless of which side wins, they come out on top.
There are already ETFs, ETPs, and derivatives available for BTC. I would say their best case scenario is BTC losing only in that it is likely their beta test on function and acceptance of digital “money”. I trust neither side.
Something not dependent on an input such as electricity, easily confirmed but hard to counterfeit, and is portable is the only threat to their power outside of direct confrontation
“Something not dependent on an input such as electricity, easily confirmed but hard to counterfeit, and is portable is the only threat to their power outside of direct confrontation”
Okie, with respect:
Bitcoin is not dependent on an input such as electricity in the sense that it must be connected to the grid. It is also not dependent on the internet. It is impossible to counterfeit, and can be almost instantly moved anywhere in the world for most transactions (lightning) for free and for a relatively small fee for huge amounts (bitcoin ledger).
You have in fact just described bitcoin, the hardest money known to man.
If you don’t have access to electricity, you don’t have access to your BTC
It is the ponzi fiat of all possible fiats. Backed by nothing, produces nothing, and it’s only real value is determined by demand via investment. It is not something like silver or notes backed by something
And, a lot of server farms have personnel with no criminal justice clearance, to save money, of course. My wife worked in the industry and she said MSFT salesman at one of her SEGIS confabs was trying to get her city services to put their justice info on their cloud. She asked if the information was stored in the US because criminal justice was required to store data domestically and he refused to say where the info would be stored. This is the state of our national security.
Don’t want to argue. Best wishes to you. We are both against the CBDCs.
My question is: Who exactly controls Bitcoin? People say it can’t be manipulated, but what if gov/globalist AI figures out how to hack it? And Bitcoin is really just another fiat currency backed by nothing, right?
I’m assuming that the move to allow BTC ETF is a move to control and to perhaps destroy crypto – at least control.
See what has been done with gold and silver via these derivative mechanisms.
End the Fed and this is no longer an issue. In all seriousness, do you think Trump will end the Fed? Will he even go one step in that direction? Ending the Federal Reserve would stop 50% (or more) of our problems overnight.
And he wouldn’t last as long as JFK if he did, unless there was an Argentina type currency collapse with our dollar.
Be aware – numerous sources indicate the federal govt is planning to try make this another fake “insurrection” and go after people in the convoy the same way they targeted people for exercising their constitutional rights on January 6th.. They are already tracing and tracking people through their phones, iPads etc
Hell, the Derps could be the very instigators of this event.
As a result of some of the people involved, the answer to that is “very highly unlikely.” As far as “tracking” – turn off and encase your phones.
Regardless, people need to stop allowing fear to rule their lives.
At some point we have to stand up to the paid gov mercenaries.
I never thought I would ever loathe this gov as I do now.
It seems like a big part of the Trump 5G Information War strategy is to focus attention by whatever means necessary, including misspelling and misusing words, on that which he will be attacking. If his statement on stopping the CBDC get the demon possessed cretins’ feathers ruffled, what the hell is this going to do?! https://www.donaldjtrump.com/agenda47/agenda47-president-trumps-plan-to-dismantle-the-deep-state-and-return-power-to-the-american-people
As people tend to go on a rant about ALL digital currencies lumping them all together, I want to point out that the underlying technology to Bitcoin and for that matter the CBDC – being a ledger and blockchain – is not evil.
A shuffel is not evil. You can use it for good purposes to dig lots of holes. Or you can whack somebody over the head with it. That would be an evil application of good technology.
Blockchain et al has great utility in contract management, notary processes, and yes.. digital currencies.
Blockchains based on public distributed ledgers (not controlled by 1 single party) have great utility.
The problem with CBDC (as opposed to say: Bitcoin) is that CBDC will be based on a centralized PRIVATE ledger controlled by the Government. As such they can use it to steer how much your dollars are worth, or what you can spend it on, or see exactly what you are spending it on.
Another bad application: a CBDC can also be used for communist style command and control to determine you can spend your dollar on a Electronic Vehicle, but not on that F150 you want to buy. Government will say “no no no!” to that plan.
Since the “Government” has such a proven and good track record of safe-guarding privacy and doing things in best interest of its Citizens, its pretty obvious a Government controlled central currency is NOT DESIRED.
It’s not a conspiracy theory if you say the Government in cases is actively working against your best interest.
For people who are concerned.. The bad news is CBDC’s will be here soon. The good news is I advise to trade your CBDC balance (however you may acquire it) for some real “money” and that is not a “fiat currency”. Currencies are fiats. All fiat currencies eventually inflate to their intrinsic worth: 0.00 zeroooo. What is real money? Get some physical Gold and silver to name but two, maybe 10% of your investment should be Gold and Silver as a contingency. That way you can still sleep knowing the Government can’t turn off all of your wealth overnight.

Whacking somebody over the head with a shovel isn’t necesarily evil, depends on who the somebody IS.
And I prefer non prescious metals, blued steel, brass, and copper clad lead.
Don’t snub stainless steel, copper, tool steel, and other worthy metals of which tools are made and items are crafted or built. 😉
Roger that, and the machine tools, independent power supply, and skills to work them. Coincidentally, what I did for nearly 50 years. 🙂
I think there’s a place for many alternative methods of transaction when two humans have a meeting of the minds.
I was raised by two parents who survived the Depression and the war. One parent survived the Revolution, or more precisely was the first born in the US after her parents escaped it. We learned a lot about ‘alternatives’. The Treehouse expands that knowledge. 🙂
Get PM and use the brass to guard it.
There was a recent video with one of the leading proponents of BTC, where they were talking about how it made use of the blockchain to become a permanent ledger of all transactions it is involved in.
Just like the BIS’s plan for complete control via CBDC and a “unified ledger.” Things that set your senses tingling…
You can be defeatist if you want and accept them – but the rest of us will fight it tooth and nail and never use it.
If I were to ever think of using any cryptocurrency, it would be one of the privacy coins like Monero or Arrggh – but even that is a no. If you think they have control now – what are you going to do when the grid is down – or the net is down? You now have something as worthless as fiat that has shrunk to 0.
I do not consider myself defeatist, just realist that for some people it might not be possible to avoid a CBDC altogether.. You can envision a crisis where they start handing out emergency stimmy checks in CBDC dollars. Do handouts with CBDC dollars. Pay wellfare in CBDC dollars.. etc.
As such some people might end up with CBDC balance. My advise there is resist to have it if you can, and if you have it exchange it for a gold coin or something with tangible value that is not centrally controlled and monitored.
Ideally CBDC gets introduced and moves directly into the realm of gigantic government FLOPs and archaic inventions nobody ever uses. That I would consider the best case scenario.
Thank you for the clarification on your viewpoint (it isn’t how your original post came across to me). I appreciate it.
Yes, a “crisis” is exactly how they will try to implement it (say a financial collapse). UBI (universal basic income) is one of the venues that has been discussed as well (Canada is toying with that one).
They have attempted it in Nigeria (still an active program) – and it has been a gigantic FLOP as you put it. The vast majority of people have refused to use it and went to using precious metals and barter to perform transactions among themselves. Note that Gates and others always use Africa as a “testing grounds” – be it for pharmaceuticals or social controls.
My own view is that it is NOT inevitable and is not a given that it will ever come to fruition within the U.S. – as well as that there are ways to prevent its introduction. A further point of view is that one ALWAYS has a choice – always. I will neither sell my soul to the devil nor submit to a totalitarian system. If that meant gathering together in a small shelter constructed from natural materials and being dirt poor, so be it. Whatever the consequence might be, the answer will forever and always be a resounding NO.
Then SSI would likely go CBDC. And I know A lot of people here collect SSI. How is that going to affect those people? And we never got one cent in interest on what we put in. Congress said we can’t trust evil Wall Street to invest our retirement money. Where do they have their investments? Evil Wall Street. And these people represent us?
SSI would be one of the very first things to go CBDC, considering it is a federal program. How it would effect you depends on which state you live in and how the states rights equation turned out. Ultimately you would have a choice, just as with other choices in life.
If the Government decides to pay your ss or ssi in its CBDC that is how you’ll get it. Then they will absolutely control what you may purchase.
That is not a given – if you follow the link to a later comment of mine (the underlined, italic part), you’ll see why.
As far as the absolute control IF you get federal payments in CBDC- only if you don’t have other means of conducting transactions, be it barter, metals, or another way.
Trust neither
@mods: Can you remove the duplication at “As people tend to go on a rant ab…”
Editing the post gave me two copies and I am no longer able to edit it. Thanks!
What:s a shuffle?
It’s the way I sometimes walk, but that isn’t important right now . And don’t call me Shirley. 😉
A “shuffle” is an autocorrect for “Shovel.”
halleljah now where getting to the heart of the truth. Money, Control, Division. Perhaps the
gathering at the border is being shaped and controlled by the evil ones and civil war breaks out
look here not there. Fiat goes down and CBDC rises.
Then all US Citizens will be as dirt poor and dependent on the gov’t for handouts as the Illegal Aliens that have crossed our border. All will be in the same boat.
What happens when the gov’t declares all Dollars null and void? Do you have anything to trade for fuel and food?
How are you going to buy food or electricity when only CBDCs are accepted?
EVIL
These traitors are not omniscient, omnipresent, or omnipotent. They are fallible human beings and are handicapped by their wickedness, makes them stupid. We can step up and stop these evildoers.
The righteous are bold as lions, the wicked flee when no one pursues. (Proverbs) Time to go after them and make them flee.
More like blinded by rapacious greed.
100,000 patriots could remove the problems through individual action, one at a time. But not yet, and only if the betrayers once again through fraud stop Trump from being reelected. Thus, Trump is our next to last best hope of restoring the Republic. We the people are the last best hope and should only go to individual battles as a last resort. If it comes to that there should be no warning, no planning, and no communications, just individual action. FJB’s F-16’s would be of no use whatsoever.
I attended my first cryptocurrency club meeting Wednesday. Our first assignment is to open an account with Coinbase.
The fourth Bitcoin split is almost upon us and it is still very early in this evolution.
My goal is not to speculate for gain but to find an alternative store of value superior to metals.
Superior? Gold and silver are God’s money. ! 😀
But way to bulky to store life savings.

Use of CBDC to crush dissent is hard authoritarianism which will lead to revolution. Americans gave them the benefit of the doubt when it comes to covid. Do you think Americans are that gullible still? I don’t. If politicians told you that they won’t let you buy food for your family or pay your mortgage if you and your kids don’t take their vaccine, what would your response be? I hope they try it.
Millions said, “where do I get the shot?” And even some good people. Hopefully they will not cave in next round. But next round will be more drastic approach by the cabal.
A question: Does this mean that the average person who has removed themselves from the debt wheel – owns their home, has money in the bank/invested, pays his taxes, and collects his pension/investment income – will be forced from the status of a relatively economically free man to one who is forced into perpetual debt and servitude to the Fascist Regime? If so, you know that Social Security and Medicare will be directly tied to the CBDC and any effort to extricate oneself from that system will most likely result in social, political, and personal ruination.
IF it is allowed to be implemented at the federal level and people do nothing to either stop it or end it if it starts, then the answer would be yes – SS and M will make use of the CBDC. It would also mean that anything that is invested via a financial institution would be converted to it as well.
As far as extricating oneself – that would depend. I have no concern in the least regarding social and political forces in regards to “ruination.” They can call me whatever they wish and rant from the podium all they want – it matters not. That does mean needing to have a way to live outside the system. One dystopian version of such a case is the picture Sundance uses from time to time.
It’s also why setting up parallel systems at a LOCAL level are so important and freeing oneself from the national supply chain. Local food sources, farmers markets, bringing in tradesmen and doctors who are liked minded to your local region. Quite a few doctors have already extricated themselves from the system as a result of events in the last few years and some before “covid” as a result of paperwork, regulations, and lunacy of the system.
I would further note that there are a number of southern states that have been very proactive in setting up state level parallel systems. Your state of Tennessee is one of them – working to set up a state level banking system, have stated they would make use of precious metal based ‘currency’, and would ban the use of CBDCs. They have worked with a number of neighboring states on that very thing as well.
Here is a recent article about them putting forth the bill to officially ban CBDCs:
https://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2024/01/tennessee-bill-would-exclude-cbdc-from-state-definition-of-money/
This subject is one of the reasons that many are moving out of traditional systems and are already setting up parallel systems.
Here’s an AoI video on the subject of parallel societies:
Alternative economy. Criminals and illegals have used it for decades, if not centuries. Fiat currency is convenient but not required.
Without struggle there will never be peace. Life is war, then you die. Enjoy those brief moments of pleasure. The wind in the trees, the rain pounding, the cat curled up purring next to me. It could all go to hell the next moment. Enjoy the now.
Read The Great Taking -available via PDF. Take steps accordingly. Getting of the debt wheel is important first step but not sufficient.

One of my concerns with CBDC’s is the possible combination of CBDC’s and a carbon tax. That slippery slope is gaining momentum also with the proposed bills in Congress with UniParty sponsorship. Here: https://www.wri.org/update/4-us-congress-bills-related-carbon-border-adjustments-2023
These 4 acts would begin to rate products on the whole lifetime greenhouse gas emissions GHG of the product. For example, the total would include the GHG from the mining of the bauxite to transport of raw materials to the production of the frying pan to the use of the pan to the eventual disposal of it.
Once all products have a GHG rating, then it will be possible to give individuals a carbon tax score, depending on how much their life produces, assigned based on government assessment of all purchases of every individual that is gathered from CBDC’s.
It is also a way to discourage imports from countries that use petroleum, natural gas, and coal as energy sources – the cleaving of world trade.
Not only could they use it to extract so called “carbon taxes” from your financial accounts, but it would also be used to control your purchases.
“We’re sorry, but the computer says you’ve reached your carbon limit for the month. We can’t sell you anything again till next month.”
Regarding world trade – that’s exactly what Europe is in the process of doing. Of course, they are going to have one hell of a time surviving, as they have very few natural resources and are on the road to eliminating what they do have in that regard. The U.S. doesn’t need the EU as a trading partner (and someone like PDJT would simply double their taxes on items we might import to counter their madness).
Don’t these billionaires have better things to do with their time than to scheme against us 24/7? They are psychopaths. After they enslave us the next step is they go after each other until there is only one who can declare them self king of the world.
Does digital currency mean no cash?
The underground economy is big, especially in blue collar immigrant communities.
Because of the unquenchable need for more tax dollars, if they outlawed cash and brought say a missing 10-15% of the economy on the table, that’s more control and tax revenue. Though it would also de-incentivize many people.
Yes – it means absolutely no cash (other than any circulating in the underground economy). In the case of many immigrants – it would mean no sending money back to their native country too, unless allowed by the government via CBDC (and no doubt it would be heavily taxed).
Cash will only be legal for the illegal invaders. Cash will be illegal for citizens.
A young techie at a major phone company (where I bought my latest cell phone) told me he wished they would microchip him to make all his transactions easier. Generational Mind Fog.
In fairness, I lined up as a kid at a Catholic school decades ago for a nurse to stick that thing in my arm. I was indoctrinated that it was good for me. Later that autumn JFK was murdered. 🙂
We all know what we know when we know it. Time and knowledge has taught me how little I really know.
The more one knows, the more they realize they don’t know – even when they shuffle ;-p
There are a lot of them.
They started actually doing it some time ago.

Well, that’s exactly how they made the personal tracking device aka smart phone ubiquitous… Provide some convenience or “essential” application. Early adopters always think they are hip and their sheeple friends follow suit as they also want to be “hip”. You cannot spell chip without HIP. 😉
You mean with like a wood chipper? what an idea! 😉
Thanks for another dose of doom and gloom, SD, lol. At least you’re keeping it real. I don’t know much about crypto but if the DC cabal is against it, my natural inclination is to embrace it. I will have to do some research. Perhaps you can do a segment on the subject to bring treepers up to speed on how it works? I am open to the idea if I can understand it. What if the gubment outlaws crypto? Then what? How do we work around that? I can still remember a time when I had to pay for everything with cash. That can still work, can’t it? Sure, it’s less convenient but it works. I personally like precious metals (along with brass) because it is something tangible that will not be worth zero. Crypto is still another fiat currency as far as I know. So, what’s stopping that from going to zero?

Had some neighbors over the other night just to catch up. Not sure how it came up, but I mentioned how distressed I was about Alex Soros’ tweet with the hole in glass and cash payoff.
Did you see it I asked?
Blank stares and ‘who is Alex Soros?’
He’s George Soros’ son I said..
All of them did not know who he was either…. No idea. Never heard of him….
Therein lies the problem….
A very uninformed, disinterested electorate.
So sad really…..
Watched a geography quiz ‘on the streets’ segment on the Tonight show. A young self-admitted college grad could not point out 1 country on the world map— Not even the U.S.
What has happened to us ?
When will people wake up?
I ordered a product online not long ago and seller requested payment in bitcoin. Pretty easy transaction with Coinbase, but how much longer before that, too, is banned in NY.
Kucoin was sued by our friend Leticia James and now can no longer do business transacting crypto in NY. Neither can Changelly another huge crypto exchange. Many crypto wallets not allowed to NY residents.
Do you see how they are closing the doors to us?
CBDC/Digital ID is the globalist’s Death Star. It means total loss of freedom for everyone on earth. It will make every man, woman, and child a literal prisoner of the coming global dictatorship.
The day’s coming when no one can buy or sell without digital ID and CBDC. In that regard, those proposing, promulgating, and facilitating CBDC/DI are literally deciding who lives and who dies. And so, CBDC/DI is a very real matter of life or death.
The progenitors of this death of individual freedom and physical death are no less deserving of the same. As such, the time is certainly coming when the only choice will be kill or be killed.
6 And the second beast required all people small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,
17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark— the name of the beast or the number of its name.
18 Here is a call for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and that number is 666.
~ Revelation 13
When the dollar has been replaced by CBDC. When digital ID is required to access CBDC. When CBDC/DI is required to buy food, gasoline, prescriptions, and other life necessities, there is no longer any legal compact between the individual and the ruling powers. Those powers have abdicated their just duties and assigned themselves as rulers, captors, and betters over their fellow man. The disaffected, formerly free citizen has no obligation other than to himself and his Creator; and is free to remand and redress as he or she sees fit, no matter how their end may turn out.
Imagine the government being able to approve or disapprove of everyone of your purchases. Cash means freedom. Get the pitchforks. Jamie Dimon…pfft. We still have unfinished banker business from 2007 and their mortgage backed securities derivatives.

This is one of the “many” reasons these BILLIONAIRES are all building underground bunkers. But, even that won’t save them from the masses, NO WAY am I settling for the DIGITAL DOLLAR………Hard pass!
NOTHING the US government does is GOOD for its citizens. You can ALWAYS count on that.
Keeping the faith… doing my best.. Always MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
If CBDC is established you won’t need W-9s or W-2s. You won’t even need to file an IRS return; the government will just send you a bill for the year. CBDC is the ultimate “Big Brother” on steroids.
Trump IS NOT our problem, TRUMP IS OUR WEAPON! Democrats and decepticon Republicans are our problem! Republicans may not be the total answer to our problems, but they were not the cause of them! McTurtle, Thune, Barrasso et al are decepticon types and gotta go! Those in power (government) are NOT YOUR FRIEND! These decepticans are nothing more than what our American Indian refereed to as speaking with a forked tongue! Say one thing and do the opposite! Wake up America, the enemy is our elected officials fully backed by their ap0pointed friends!
The EU just banned all cash transactions over 10k.
Believe what you will, there is no way the communist Democrats are going to allow an election in this country that could possibly lose them in the White House.

I can’t reconcile the creation of a US CBDC, when the WEF’s, et al’s agenda seems to be tearing the US down. CENTRAL Bank DC, can’t mean US-led when the psycho’s live in Europe. CENTRAL Bank DC surely means somewhere in Europe like…………………. Switzerland. Or something.
Meh.
