If you followed my research on banking and the reality of the Russian sanction regime, this report from Reuters today takes on an entirely new dimension.
ME: …”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 (dollar-based west), not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in. The Western sanction regime, the financial mechanisms they created and authorized, created the control gate that leads to a U.S. digital currency.” (more)
REUTERS TODAY: …”The firm [SWIFT] has gone from being virtually unknown outside banking circles to a household name since 2022 when it cut most of Russia’s banks off from its network as part of the West’s sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine. (more)
[The map shows the global financial cleaving, an outcome of sanctions against Russia]
I first started to deep dive research into these CBDC datapoints when the Russian sanctions were triggered.
You see, nothing about the sanctions really made sense from the way they were structured. Never before, not with Iran, North Korea, Venezuela or Cuba was the dollar weaponized against any entity who did not conform to the sanctions. 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 sanction impact and realize nothing said about these financial sanctions made sense when compared against their actual outcome. {Go Deep}.
So, let’s start with the latest development:
(Reuters) – Global bank messaging network SWIFT is planning a new platform in the next one to two years to connect the wave of central bank digital currencies now in development to the existing finance system, it has told Reuters.
The move, which would be one of the most significant yet for the nascent CBDC ecosystem given SWIFT’s key role in global banking, is likely to be fine-tuned to when the first major ones are launched.
Around 90% of the world’s central banks are now exploring digital versions of their currencies. Most don’t want to be left behind by bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but are grappling with technological complexities.
SWIFT’s head of innovation, Nick Kerigan, said its latest trial, which took 6 months and involved a 38-member group of central banks, commercial banks and settlement platforms, had been one of the largest global collaborations on CBDCs and “tokenised” assets to date.
“We are looking at a roadmap to productize (launch as a product) in the next 12-24 months,” Kerigan said in an interview. “It’s moving out of experimental stage towards something that is becoming a reality.”
Although the timeframe could still shift if major economy CBDC launches get delayed, getting out the blocks for when they do would be a major boost for maintaining SWIFT’s incumbent dominance in the bank-to-bank plumbing network.
[…] A raft of heavyweight commercial banks including HSBC, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale, Standard Chartered and the CLS FX settlement platform all took part too, as did at least two banks from China.
The idea is that once the interlink solution is scaled-up, banks would have one main global connection point able to handle digital asset payments, rather than thousands if they were to set up an individual one with every counterparty. (read more)
The sanction regime against Russia was always intended to generate this outcome. This is the feature of the sanctions, not a flaw.
This dollar based CBDC was the intended destination of the people who constructed the Russian sanction plan (ex. BlackRock/WEF types). The Western politicians then were recruited and given instructions to support. Their cover story was “Build Back Better,” ie climate change, which was the predicate to the Russian sanctions.
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.
2022 – NEW YORK, March 24 (Reuters) – BlackRock Inc’s (BLK.N) chief executive, Larry Fink, said on Thursday that the Russia-Ukraine war could end up accelerating digital currencies as a tool to settle international transactions, as the conflict upends the globalization drive of the last three decades.
In a letter to the shareholders of the world’s largest asset manager, Fink said the war will push countries to reassess currency dependencies, and that BlackRock was studying digital currencies and stablecoins due to increased client interest.
“A global digital payment system, thoughtfully designed, can enhance the settlement of international transactions while reducing the risk of money laundering and corruption”, he said.
[…] In the letter on Thursday, the chairman and CEO of the $10 trillion asset manager said the Russia-Ukraine crisis had put an end to the globalization forces at work over the past 30 years.
[…] “While companies’ and consumers’ balance sheets are strong today, giving them more of a cushion to weather these difficulties, a large-scale reorientation of supply chains will inherently be inflationary,” said Fink.
He said central banks were dealing with a dilemma they had not faced in decades, having to choose between living with high inflation or slowing economic activity to contain price pressures. (read more)
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, 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 one of the facilitating beneficiaries of the financial control system evident within any CBDC process.
The US Treasury has set the financial system on an almost irreversible 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.
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 dollar-based 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.
Take those reference points as an overlay, and now consider this little discussed 2022 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. (read more)
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.
Prior to the White House announcement, 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 adviser 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, 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.
Can it be stopped? I struggle with that question. I 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 them to oppose?
How many people would believe the Western sanctions against Russia were really the USG building a cage to keep us in? Information, we need to 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.
We will win this battle and eventually this war, or I’ll die fighting it.
They are trying to move fast, because people are catching on now.
We are on the right side of every issue; we cherish liberty and individual freedom. Our opposition is built upon a foundation of fraud and lies. The politicians are corrupt, and their arguments collapse when put in the sunlight; but they are not the root of the problem – they are vessels. That’s why the multinationals like BlackRock need the rules and referees (politicians) slanted in their favor. That’s why they need censorship, deplatforming, and beyond everything else…. they must control information.
…The key battle right now is an information war.
Tell your family, friends, neighbors. At first, they may think you are crazy, don’t quit. Share the information. Use the internal citations to help you bolster your arguments. Don’t quit planting seeds of information, and then update with additional information as it surfaces. Keep driving the awakening.

My comment was to NanaB.
Those of us who are retired, with pensions and Social Security, will have no recourse about whether to be locked into a digital currency.
I am a bit on the elderly side of life and I feel quite stupid asking this. This digital currency….how is it different than what we have now? We saved and invested and it earned but it’s all on paper or computer. We can go to our bank and withdraw cash right now but if it goes all digital…will we be able to withdraw digital money…virtual money so to speak? Now ppl are paid with a check most often direct deposit..will soon they be paid with digital/virtual “money”? I realize tptb can cut a person off from their digital money for wrong speak/vote/behavior but can’t they do that now? Like I said…I’m old enough where I don’t see what’s the gain of this vs what we have now. And oh I so worry about our black Americans that don’t have access to a computer and no ID/s. Whatever will they do? Not to mention all the newcomers. Oofdah!
They can’t cut you off now if you are using cash for your purchases.
Oh yes they can, and they do.
By controlling the entities that can accept and will take your cash. Think of all the places that do not accept cash now and remember , ” slowly at first then all at once”.
Nana,
It’s difficult to cut people off from their money now (though I’m sure it’s done). Think about this: CBDC is CENTRALLY controlled (not what we want). The fiat currency USD that has been printed like it’s going out of style (because it is going to be replaced) and is rapidly losing its position as the worlds reserve currency. Enter stealthily the world’s first cryptocurrency that is used by “criminals” and deplorable and every other sort of libertarian ilk degenerate. There is a reason Blackrock is buying up BTC like no tomorrow. They started doing that before the ETFs were approved in January.
Stock up on as much cash as you can. I foresee an underground alternative economy.
The following is my understanding based on internet discussions.
Cash will become outlawed and will be required to be turned in to the government. Your money in banks and retirement accounts will be converted automatically into digital money. Cash will no longer be legal tender. The government will provide you with a card to use to purchase items, rent, bills, etc. Cash not turned in will become useless. The government will have direct access to every penny you spend and will be able to control your digital dollars, what and when you buy or pay. This is my understanding of digital dollars.
My question is will gold and silver coins still be legal tender or will they be outlawed and require turnover to digital. Bullion will likely be required to be converted. It is not legal tender even now but you now can convert to cash. So you will likely be required to to convert that to digital dollars.
What will happen to crypto money? Will it be outlawed too? Probably.
Trading (black) markets will likely spring up where some trade goods and services. Gold has kept its value for 5000 years and that is not likely to change even if becomes illegal to own and use in trade.
Note a number of states have recently passed laws making silver and gold coins legal tender
And the potential for “a long train of abuses…” is phenomenal…control the flow of money and people cannot buy food…
Regardless of the government’s diktats, we will be able to continue using bullion, gold/silver coins, and those other metals brass and lead, amongst ourselves in barter exchanges.
There will always be scammers who figure out devious ways to subvert any system. But I wonder if this “proposed” CBDC system already has built-in back doors for (WEF and all ) themselves, WHO will be demanding that the “on its face” system be used by all of us plebes?
I cannot imagine those who seek to control the world will let all of their money be put under the CBDC system. Something absolutely STINKS AND because Sundance smells it, we can all smell it!!
I hate this whole MASSIVE EVIL thing with a very big and earnest HATE!!
Rent, bills etc … will be converted to autopay; the various utility companies are backing people into that now. Also with the caveat that it is “green” and saves the planet.
One thing that will be lost to consumers is not paying a bill until an error by the vendor is resolved. Payment for your GrubHub delivery will be rejected because the power company charged your account 40,000 credits instead of 400.
Then you get to navigate their automated system to try and resolve the issue.
Mexico not on board with the west,so wont go along with digital. our cash alternative might be peso’s.
The woke credit card companies tried this with gun purchases…
It’s true that most or all of what you do is online and therefore tracked. What they seek is everything else. If you had an ice cream at the park with a friend. They want to know what friend what time where. If you drove around looking at antiques in neighboring counties. They want to know who you were with, where you drove to, what time, what did you spend, where, what time, what did you buy, where, when? I hope that helps you understand. They want everything. All of it, all of the time.
In other words, they want to be as God- Omniscient and Omnipotent- or as close to that as they can come.
It will NOT end well for them…see Revelation. It feels more and more like we are living in the last days.
Uuf Da is right!
You’ve made it this far, You’ll be OK- trust your instincts!
You won’t be able to pull out cash, it will all be virtual so they can see everything you do or buy.
I think they already do that. Most grocery stores have reward cards. they know.
If my social credit score is too low because I persist in my convictions regarding the identity of Jesus, the Christ, and His death and resurrection……it is only a hop, skip, and a jump to someone deciding whether or not I am allowed to buy gas for my car or fill my prescriptions. That level of control is what they are after. It’s NOT about money. It’s about absolute power.
Right on point! Insist upon cash!!!!!!
Amen Amin. Gospodi Pomiluj!!
And then they’ll require a mark or tatoo instead of a password or pin.
Yes, they will. And that is (as far as I’m concerned) a side issue, as well as being totally predictable.
Try buying an AR-15 with CBDC. They’ll shoot that down in a New York minute!

Good call SD! I loved that show. Watched it 6 times all the way through now.
Feelings? I had to fast forward through some parts of GOT, but I love the music score by Ramin Djawdi who composed it. It is absolutely brilliant and full of heart-pounding emotion .
Sundance, thinking about what the WEFFERS want to do to all of us is like listening to the music of The Night King!! Shudders.
Sorry, but I have never watched Game of Thrones, have no idea what it was about, and don’t understand what that means.
I suspect it’s a reference to one of the most illustrative quotes of the books and show…
“When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.”
Russia understands this, which is why when someone threatens them they take decisive action to make sure they aren’t the one who be dying.

You want it?” More likely it will be something like…”hey you don’t want illegals voting right?

you can feel it in the air. get right with God.
The banks are one cog in the gear just like the FBI. Banks will not be shutting down your ability to purchase with CBDC. Banks will be told by GOVERNMENT to shut you down. You blame banks instead of the real people that are behind what is happening.
Backwards. The Banksters tell the governments what to do.

And, your assertion directly contradicts the facts laid out by Sundance in the post above.
Nice try!
You are just plain wrong.
So which bank controls it all? Sundance talks about the Deep State. The Intelligence community. I do not think he ever referred to the Deep Bank that controls it all? Which bank? You don’t like banks. I guess the banks tell the military what to do. You complain about one world government but blame banks. You argue in a circle and you get dizzy.
“When the global trade currency does not need to be pegged it is completely fiat.”
Regardless of whether it is pegged to anything, people have to believe a dollar or digit is worth something.
It used to be that way anyway….
I can’t see nations currently carrying heavy debt from other nations agreeing their digit is worth the same as the debtor nations digit. How will they resolve this? Is that debt forgiven? Or does this open up things making that risk more worth taking?
Will they ultimately include other assets as backing or increasing the worth of their digit?
Can nations with proven deposits of gold, coal, iron, oil and other resources use those to claim their digit is worth more? Pension plans? Savings? If so, will nations with heavy debt or other costs have their digit worth less?
Again, I can’t see nations carrying the heavy debt of other nations agreeing with this, unless there is some way their digit can be enhanced such that it is worth more than another nations.
Ultimately, there must be something benefitting politicians spending like drunken fools under the current system.
if they tell us we own nothing, does it matter? Equity of outcome for the entire world. They will tell us we are all the same.
That will never be true.
The need for control is a reaction to fear.
Provide deposits of gold or other assets to whom?
Nobody. Will it be considered an asset of a country that will cause their digit to be worth more than another nations?
As an example, could Nation A with $5 billion in recoverable gold claim their digit is worth more than Nation B’s digit who has only $1 billion in iron ore?
“I can’t see nations currently carrying heavy debt from other nations agreeing their digit is worth the same as the debtor nations digit. How will they resolve this? Is that debt forgiven? Or does this open up things making that risk more worth taking?”
The “digits” used will be the same, everything will be priced in those “digits”. The widget made here might cost one digit and the digit made in Europe might cost 1/2 digit. It will work just like the SWIFT System in dollars. The control will come from only ONE AUTHORITY allowing the creation of a new digit. Not only will this system give total control of half the world’s finances it will allow the immediate suspension of any person/country not “behaving”.
The mailed hand is closing its grip.
“It also raises huge dangers in terms of the balance of power between states and citizens.”
She said….giving a nod to the issue but neither she or they are all that concerned about having “rights” established for the sake of the citizens. They are becoming a more and more clearly distilled group for whom the one goal is complete power, absolute governance over not only groups, but individuals.
The fact that the left (under any disguise) keeps talking about democracy (as opposed to a Republic) is no mystery. A democracy, by definition, will comfortably support digital currency and everything required to build it and protect it.
Perhaps this iteration of their plan will be stopped. Eventually, it is what is going to happen, but, regardless of whether or not it is stopped now, comprehension of what they are announcing is basic.
Eventually the steal will require steel and that’s when it gets real.
Yes.
Nice job. We have a poet onboard the Trump Train too! Excellent work!
A poet, that knows it, and rhymes with time!
Consider Federalist No. 10, in which James Madison wrote, “democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths.”
Consider also John Marshall in his work The Life of George Washington, who wrote, “between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”
Just refer to SDs SciFi vision of the City of Utopia, and the sewage outfall to the Rest-Of-World…living in feudal squalor…
Evidently about 30 states are investigating using gold and silver as legal tender (totally constitutional).
A person would send their gold/silver to a bank and then use a debit card to withdraw against the value of the metals.
Investing in precious metals has always been a good hedge against money problems. Always will be. 😉
Many national parks, as directed by the national park system, are no longer accepting cash payment for entrance fees. “Legal tender” is already being rejected in that context.
The idea of “constitutional” doesn’t care as much weight as it did at one time.

Not sure what your “nice try” snark is about, but take it somewhere else. I’ve been posting on this site for 5 years. Way to attack someone that is trying to help. Very constructive.
What is next? Maybe They will let us decide weather, we get our mark on the hand or forehead?
Who really knows what else was in those Covid shots? Well, I guess some people do….. 🙂
I go with “hand”…it will be closer to the monitoring device/sarc
What I need to know, is how are we to provide for ourselves? How do we circumvent a digital currency?
Alternative economy, self-sufficiency, barter. I would speculate that like minded people in that regard will also support each other in other areas of freedom and liberty.
Adapt and overcome. I suggest that for those who won’t be fighting, rather seeking to only survive the onslaught.
What I want to know is a little more down to earth question. Would we be allowed to choose to not participate? (I already know the answer I just want to hear the QUIET PART OUT LOUD.
No , no life or breath or head. Jesus has me.
Pick a topic and track how bureaucracy has affected it over time. I’m not terribly old, pushing 70, and have seen a ton of it in my lifetime, at all levels of what we used to consider freedom.
It feels like a vise closing its grip slowly but surely, squeezing the life and joy out of me.
Choose to, or not to, participate in digital currency? I’ll posit one will still have choices but they’ll be diminished over time. We saw that with Covid, how the government limited choice. Where we could eat out, where we could buy groceries, where we could get pharma, what doctors we could see, on and on. We were still free, but limited in choices.
IMO it will be incremental, as the move to cashless has been incremental. Now plenty of places, including government places, don’t accept cash. If one doesn’t have a credit/debit card or that pay thingie on their phone, they’re SOL. Checks, the paper kind, are increasingly not accepted either.
I’m in the same boat as some others here, an old person on SS. In fact, due to my choices, that basic SS is what I live on. I have no other financial industry exposure. I figured I’d take it until they did away with it or my social credit score disallowed it.
Other than a little to run the household on, it’s buying military gear for what is to come, slowly but surely over time. Not for me necessarily, but for allies. I figure gear up before DHS says no to military gear, weapons and ammunition and digital currency allows them to enforce that ‘no’.
IMO, we’ll have choices but we won’t have freedom and liberty to make the ones we want to within the moral framework of being God’s faithful. We’ll be ‘controlled’.
Thank you for the LOUD AND CLEAR answer. I’ll just have to find a way out of this situation.
Au, Ag, Pb, Fe, and Jesus.
Barter in goods? Criminals are not just going to stop. They are experts in underground economies. They will invent ways to get around the restrictions.
Get stuff worth trade value. I used to Thrift (yes, a verb with a capital T). I saved my small gold and silver finds… 14k gold earrings, a pretty silver bracelet, a stunning brooch… Everything tradeable.
Maybe keep your eye out for other tinkets. I don’t know enough to guide on that.
I think items to barter is the way to go.
In addition to everything else, the stock piling and ammo.
The workarounds will keep us from circumvent it…
FTA:
“The firm has gone from being virtually unknown outside banking circles to a household name since 2022 when it cut most of Russia’s banks off from its network as part of the West’s sanctions for the invasion of Ukraine.
Kerigan said that kind of move could still happen in a new CBDC system, but doubted whether it would stop countries from joining one.
Its latest trial involved central banks from Germany, France, Australia, Singapore, Czech Republic and Thailand as well as a number that requested to remain anonymous.
A raft of heavyweight commercial banks including HSBC, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale, Standard Chartered and the CLS FX settlement platform all took part too, as did at least two banks from China.”
If this is such a great idea then why the need to remain anonymous?
although he may not know it if elected the main purpose for djt will not be to govern but to restore. he will have to clean the stables. djt will have but a short time to act re: instant shock snd awe.
the cbdc brings to mind the sanctions for violating the 1792 monetary act. it was the ultimate. that law was passed in the aftermath of the inflation after the revolution.
the usa financial situation is hopeless. that’s why the cbdc will be introduced. it’s a hail mary.
there is no budget process or accounting. we are in the end game.
basically the wise amongst us will only keep a small portion of currency in the checking account to pay bills once the cbdc is introduced. the rest will be used to buy hard assets like gold.
I don’t want to play anymore!
I have to wonder, our terrorist government is able to just print more money as it spends this nation into debt oblivion. What happens with a digital currency? As I understand bitcoin, the supposed inherent value is its limited never to be amended supply.
How will all the currency manipulation be effected?
I just do not see this happening anytime soon.
Can I just go back to 1981?
Me too!!
If I could with a time machine, I wouldn’t do it just to live there. 40 years of info on who’s been setting all this up would be a powerful tool in making sure it never happened in the first place.
Would be great to defeat the digital strategy, but wish I knew more about specific actions to take to protect myself from the CBDC if patriots are unsuccessful. Any thoughts Treepers/Sundance?
Around the time of Hurricane Ian, Sundance invited us to post our suggestions about prepping/survival. It was an astonishing thread with hundreds and hundreds of fine suggestions. I don’t know how to search on this site, but that particular thread would be a really fine beginning.
The suggestions were somewhat overwhelming to a newbie prepper like me, so I focused in on — What would I need that the government might deny me buying? Not just ration, but forbid me from buying?
The answers will be different for each of us. My advice is to STOCK UP FIRST on those things that the government will deny you access to that you, personally, might need. Respectfully, you know we’re not talking TP here. In my case, we’re talking OTC supplements, odd stuff like Fisetin that is preserving my QOL and keeping cancer at bay. For others, it might be “lead” supplements:)
Again, Intrepid, start with: What do I and my family absolutely need, that the government would forbid us from having? Hint: Whitmer stopped the sale of vegetable seeds when C19 first made its appearance.
Treepers reading this — would be great if you could find the link to that article where so many contributed wonderful ideas.
Preparing for a CBDC nightmare is similar to end of the world planning. Sundance often ends a post with an image of people living outside the wall of a giant city. That’s pretty much what has to be done should CBDC’s become reality. It seems overwhelming but its not necessary to be totally disconnected. A small step towards self-reliance for each individual makes a big difference overall.
Prepping is fundamentally about increasing self-reliance. There are many ways to do that and many books are devoted to the subject. you can get the LDS preparedness manual digital version for free that touches on all aspects of preparing. https://www.ldsavow.com/preparedness-manual/. With regards to the CBDC, becoming self-reliant reduces participation of the CBDC economy and reduces their ability to control you.
There are many details that will eventually work themselves out should the CBDC come to pass. The important bit is to not hold a lot of fiat currency as either paper notes or sitting in bank accounts. Instead hold hard assets that are: scarce/limited, easy to obtain, easy to self-custody, low maintenance, and safe from theft/seizure i.e. bitcoin then gold/silver. These assets will become the primary alternatives to the CBDC. As a side benefit if you acquire them now they will almost certainly appreciate in dollar terms as the dollar is devalued into oblivion.
the cartels are gonna be pissed when their billions of dollars turn to toilet paper over night.
When all the ones become zeros.
What will we call that day?
Judgement day?
The problem is, even if people believe you about the CBDC, majority would answer – “well, what’s wrong with that? I have nothing to hide, I’m not a criminal. And it is also very convenient.”
This is exactly the reaction I get when I have tried to talk with my Democrat family about digital currencies. They don’t seem to be at all worried about it and think I am a crackpot for my concerns.
Talk to Germans who lived in the East. Their kids are anti-technology. Don’t want government spying on their business, or giving up anonymity of cash, vs bank debit cards…. German IT industry is staffed by expat non-German IT workers…
Tell your Democrat family that given the timescale, they’ll be handing the keys to CBDC’s right to Donald Trump and that HE will get to decide what can or can’t be purchased using your digital currency.
Dem’s always project. Use that against them.
You no longer control your money! Your government does. You would like to save some for a rainy day. Sorry, you have to spend it now to keep the economy going. You want to buy a tank of gas to visit distant relatives? Sorry, you have used up your allotment already this month. You want to send a contribution to Conservative Treehouse. Sorry, that’s not allowed.
The answer will be – “But they would never do THAT. It’s not China. And why the heck you want to contribute to some crazy conspiracy blog???”
As far as I am concerned, “this entire story is: ‘smoke and mirrors.'”
Because: what is actually happening is that – a “once unquestioned(!)” central bank messaging clearinghouse – is beginning to sense “competition” that, by design, lies “outside of its ‘sphere of influence.'”
In order to conduct international trades among themselves, banks required a broker who undertakes to reliably transmit their messages. For many decades, SWIFT was that broker. But, unfortunately, there was basically “only one(!)” such broker, and “only one(!!) government” effectively owned it.
(They also “owned” the much-more-limited communications alternatives which existed at that time. When “the Internet” had not yet been invented, nor foreseen. Can you say, “T-1 lines?”)
However: the present-day reality is entirely different. And the “old” players, perhaps still wedded to their old “T-1 lines,” really don’t know what to do.
So, they cast-out an idea which would still be technologically-compatible with their business model (and, national orientation). The idea of a “central(!) bank(!!)” digital-currency platform is … ahem … just: “the(!!!) US Dollar.” A mechanism by which all future trades would – ultimately – “just [still] be ‘Dollars.”
Because this is what they cannot understand: “Multiple nations, trading in multiple currencies, using their own clearinghouses. To them, this would mean: “the end to … everything.”
No. They cannot force themselves to understand this. Because maybe they realize that “reality” is just about to smack them in the face.
That’s the beauty of crypto and the internet. You can instantly send money from your crypto account to anyone in the world with an internet connection and crypto account. Avoiding 4 or 5 different banks, each taking a cut along the way. Bad for the banking business.
Unfortunately, “crypto” is a barter system by law, not legal tender. It is based on “trust,” and it has already been demonstrated just how easily that “trust” can be broken by those who control the infrastructure.
So is fiat money. “Full FAITH and credit”
Legal tender is nothing more that a government sanctioned means of exchange for barter.
Consider the loss of value of the dollar over the last century.
It is about control of trade and commerce, skimming a cut on every transaction.
Banker + Mobster = Banksters
He who issues and controls the money (means of exchange) controls the government. The government is made for the people. Therefore, control of the people – slavery.
I was at Starbucks and paid for coffee with a $50. Clerk only had $5’s. Shopping at Hallmark store the other day only had change for $10. Makes me think they don’t want cash…
Then in Las Vegas, they only want cash. I wonder how much pull that industry has?
Lord have mercy
I hope Trump stops it. Dimon has already said Bitcoin should be banned
Dimon is appropriately named because he is a demon who thinks he is a god.
This evil has been generational for centuries. The Banks are occupied by the same spirits that were chased from the Temple by Christ. The money changers are alive and well. Nothing new under the sun
Was reading that the rural Jews had a shekel, but the Temple had temple currency -had to use to buy sacrificial animals, at a different exchange rate….That is why Jesus threw the money changers out of his house. DC/Jerusalem residents had fixed the system where they could make money on flyover country Jews that came to Jerusalem every year for atonement.

Time to turn over all the tables?
My pension and Social Security payment are direct deposit to my checking account.
When the price of silver is agreeable to me, I call a metals broker (jmbullion.com) and order maybe 500-600 ounces of silver Eagles and/or Maple leafs so I always have a good supply on hand.
That payment is debited from my checking account and the silver is delivered to my door.
I have cultivated relationships with several local businesses so I can pay my bills and make my purchases with silver.
Since there is no record of the transaction, the gov’t can not track the money further from me or the vendor.
I have a local gun shop that will give me cash for silver if I do need cash. No paper trail.
There is no credit card money trail that the IRS can follow.
If people got enough silver in circulation, the gov’t could stuff it’s digital currency where the sun don’t shine.
wise
Your call has been recorded (by the government) and the purchase and shipment and delivery has been recorded. Down stream of that you are OK.

And you thought you got a flu shot.
They are going all out for control over us. If you have been in the automobile market you will notice that almost all cars made in the last 5 years have no key port in the door handle, they are all ‘keyless’ entry with a fob. The cars also come standard, not optional, with ‘assist technologies’ as in Lane Keep Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking Assist, Speed Limit Assist and several other iterations of “advanced” driver assistance “technology.” Car is at a stop light and the A/C shuts off without any action by you, when the car goes again the A/C comes back on. All these technologies are not consumer options they are standard due to big gov wanting to control us. Politicians and NGOs are now calling for ‘electronic speed limiters’. GM was called out for sharing On Star driver data with insurance companies without the driver’s knowledge or permission. Basically they at a minimum want a permanent ‘governor’ on automobiles. This is all happening even before FJB’s E.O. that makes kill switches mandatory in US cars.
Couple with the so called smart appliances controlled by the utility companies smart meters, they want to have in everyone’s home, and it is all about big gov totally controlling every aspect of our living. People have been pampered and spoiled for so long that they want comfort and security over freedom. It’s worse for those using smartphones aka ‘electronic crack’. The CBDC is another poison in their government medicine cabinet to be used to control us. They already are doing it in ways people do not realize.
my problem with newer cars is the crash avoidance system.car slows in front of you and your car slows down .but what if you were in a democrat city 4 yrs ago driving down the road and somebody walks out in the road in front of you ,and your car stops.you then get your windows smashed dragged out and beat,and all because you couldn’t punch it and run em down.
I don’t know, this is way over my head and I consider myself at least somewhat intelligent and informed.
Other than a few twenties I keep in my wallet, all money of consequence in my life is already just digits in computer networks as far as I can perceive. I never actually see a check for my wages, much less any dead presidents.
A digital currency could be centrally controlled, but I guarantee if “they” wanted to separate me from my money today – they absolutely could.
Not that I disagree, I just don’t understand. I’m at a loss as to why this is so qualitatively different as far as my financial security goes. Maybe it’s because I’m a resident of Illinois and have some sort of Stockholm Syndrome from knowing they can already, and do, raise my taxes – as much as they want, any time they want – and there is nothing to stop them.
You lose your ability to “keep a few twenties” in your wallet. And maybe several Benjamins in the cookie jar.
And keep in mind the real prize for the fed’s will be the digital ID. They will know when you buy a firearm and the ammo that goes with it, if you donate to a MAGA group or True the Vote etc ….
I wonder if a few “bank runs” might convince the bankers that CBDC’s aren’t what people want.
I think you may be on to something Belle!
Flash runs! Good idea!
“while reducing the risk of money laundering and corruption”, he said.”
Larry is quite the comedian.
One of the biggest motivating factors for Central Banks to adopt Digital Currencies will be to facilitate money laundering with ease, and the ability to allow or deny favored or unfavored clients.
Right. So how will TPTB handle their criminal money laundering schemes? How are they going to pay “the big guy” in cash keeping it anonymous?
De-dollarization isn’t really happening. It’s a fool’s errand. Countries can’t escape their dollar-denominated debt. Not without de-leveraging, of course; which means destroying their entire economy in the process. The free market built the global monetary system, the Eurodollar system. And now it has trapped them. There is more demand for dollars outside of the US than inside. You’re missing this key part of the puzzle. If they do this, there is no way out anymore. Not for us, not for them.
Suicide on a grand economic scale.
There are multiple facets to the question of “How can it be stopped.”
First is copious amounts of sand in the works. This particular sand comes in the form of using cash for every transaction possible, not using credit cards, refusing to do business with any company that won’t take cash, and withdrawing as many assets as possible out of the traditional financial network. Note on the latter that may mean the day of your income check, from wherever it comes, withdrawing in cash whatever isn’t needed for any auto-bill pay you might use (the point is denying the system the use of your funds). I would suggest any liquid assets above your immediate needs be converted into hard assets of your choice and getting out of debt.
Next is working at your state level to get legislation pushed through like that which has been passed in Tennessee that basically outlaws CBDC and creates a state level bank and a precious metals based financial system if needed.

Likely more importantly, is to recognize that the next 8 months is a war unlike any other you’ve been involved in. It’s to be fought against a very wounded, cornered animal. Your life and the future of all you know will be determined by its outcome. When you start acting like it and investing the time and effort into winning it, you begin to stand a chance to win it. Failure isn’t an option any regular treeper would accept if they fully understood its full ramifications. Said war has two fronts – a human one and a spiritual one. The latter is the greater and involves prayer and discernment, along with the reminder of Ephesians 6:12.
The choice is yours – but if you make the wrong one, the future is not.
Am I the ONLY one here that is quite creeped the hell out by the idea of a “cashless society”? Didn’t people like Hal Lindsey and many others predict this was going to happen? What’s next? A “mark” in our right hand or foreheads? (yes, I’m serious)
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You already have a chip in your hand…every time you use your credit card!
Found in the bin… 🙁
Some real mark of the beast devilry right there.
Gotta say , never saw this stuff coming in my lifetime .
When the plandemic started , it was a harsh reality,and still is .
If Biden signs us in on this debacle, how can Trump undo it?
2 Tim. 3:16 “All Scripture is…for instruction…”
Jer. 39:16 “...I will bring My words…for evil…not for good…before thee.” We will see it.
Dan. 8:25 “...he shall cause craft to prosper..”. 11:21 “...he shall come in peaceably...”
Rev. 12:9 “...the great dragon…old serpent, called…Devil…Satan…deceiveth the whole world…
13:8 “...all…upon the earth shall worship him…”
Mat. 24:29 “Immediately after the tribulation...” 24:30 “…then shall appear…the Son of man…”
Luk. 21:27 “…then shall they see the Son of man coming…”
Isa. 40:5 “...all flesh shall see it together…the LORD hath spoken it.”
Rev. 7:3 “…Hurt not…till we have sealed…in their foreheads.”
7:4 “…the number…sealed…an hundred and forty four thousand…” Not a whole lot understand.
Rev. 14:1 “…a Lamb stood…and with Him an hundred and forty four thousand…” Our choice.
22:4 “...they shall see His face; and His name shall be in their foreheads.” In one’s brain.
Eze. 36:22 “...I do this not for your sakes…but for Mine holy name’s sake.” Why?
For heathen [ethnos], yes, but even mistaught Christians, “...shall know that I am the LORD...”
1 Cor. 10:11 “…all…things happened…for ensamples: …written for…whom the ends of the world…come.”
Pro. 1:7 [Only] “…fools despise wisdom and instruction…” Not too late to learn, yet…
So all those thoughts and feelings I have been expressing for years were just Conspiracy Theories. Well well well.
SECOND AMENDMENT NOW!!!!
CBDC and one world government is exactly the f*ck why we have a Second Amendment. Everyone still counting on 2024 to overthrow our overlords is harboring false hope, in my opinion.
We’re literally watching the SS build our concentration camps, where they have full control over what we eat, what we drive, how much gas we can buy, how much red meat we can buy, and whether or not we can buy guns and ammo.
Instead of this stupid BS of hoping another rigged selection will restore our stolen freedoms, Americans should’ve risen up in arms long ago and gone to all out bloody and brutal war against the sonsabitches in power, removing them by any and all means necessary.
Our collective failure in not doing so will be remembered in history as the men who had the chance to save themselves but didn’t because they were more interested in being gentlemen than FREE men.
From my cold, dead hands, mfkrs.
I apologize for this stupid question but I’m confused. How do the grey countries fit in to this digital money and “world order” Pippa refers to?
Pippa states “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.”
China is grey on the map, as is Russia. If we, the mapped yellow USA, are being boxed in by the Russian sanctions how is it China is grey yet they were the first to introduce a digital currency?
These insane, drunk with power “superpowers” – is their goal to color the entire world map yellow with the SWIFT network digital coin to control the entire world?
I believe the good guys are in control and are running things. The operation has been underway for quite some time.
Now do you know why candidate Trump and then President Trump was “attacked” at every step from every angle by the ones who control the media, the corrupt members of DC, the corrupt members of all the three letter agencies, etc?
They don’t hate him. They fear him and what he represents. President Trump and the team of Warriors alongside of him are a complete threat to the banking families who control everything.
I take President Trump at his word. I was at the rally in NH when he said it. He was impressed that so many in the crowd new exactly what he was talking about.
Big picture, I don’t disagree with anything presented in this article. The bankers are attempting to consolidate their power through whatever means necessary.
I just believe there are countermoves and countermeasures already in place to stop it. The banker’s dictatorship we have been living under is under threat by the good guys. The bad guys are getting exposed.
I believe that is what President Trump is referring to when he says, “The best is yet to come.”
I suppose it is just serendipity that Sundance has this great troublesome article the same day that over at The Daily Caller they have a great piece exposing the the Great Censorship Industry paid for by the US taxpayer.
A person called Starbird is featured, but I advise that she does not qualify for Miss America.
Is it a prerequisite to be downright ugly to be a top demoncrat operative?
Here’s a screenshot of three different provisions Republicans tried to pass with the Omnibus bill.
No funds for digital currency, disinformation bureau or censorship.
All three were stripped from the bill before passage.

It is impossible to get through to people who reply, ‘ I have nothing to hide ‘; ‘they already have all my information anyway’; ‘we had bad inflation in the 80s and we lived through that’; etcetera.
“I have nothing to hide” people miss the point of all this. They will be turned into “follow government orders unquestionally” people.
Anyone who reads the Bible knows this was going to happen one day. Whether it can be slowed or stopped for a time is anybody’s guess. Doesn’t hurt to try. For believers, its one more step.
The Achilles heel of the CBDC plan is the internet/grid. Imagine the havoc if (when) this happens: https://www.astronomy.com/science/a-large-solar-storm-could-knock-out-the-internet-and-power-grid-an-electrical-engineer-explains-how/
Hold on to your cash.
If blacks aren’t smart enough to get an ID to vote, how are they gonna deal with a digital currency?
When they speak of a digital bill of rights, they’re talking about a replacement bill of rights. Likely focusing on control as opposed to freedom. Trump 2024.
Only a handful of people I’ve spoken to get it. The rest become glassy eyed. Or call me a pointless worrier or a conspiracy nut.
Once these financial bracelets get put on it’s over. 1984.
