After my latest outline, on the looming probability of a dollar based Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) {SEE HERE}, I found myself saying, “I hate to say this, but most people really don’t care. For some, the issue is esoteric, abstract, and difficult to comprehend. For others, there is a massive blanket of comfortable ambivalence until the consequences hit. For the few who understand, this is extremely troubling.”
Then I step back, breathe and reevaluate my ability to communicate.
A few recent comments have me looking for something, anything, that will help people understand the scope and breadth of what I am trying to communicate, and the challenge therein. EXAMPLES:
[COMMENT #1] – 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.
[…] 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. {link}
[COMMENT #2] I apologize for this stupid question, but I’m confused. How do the grey countries fit into 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? {link}
You come here for understanding the world that exists, not the one we may hope to exist. If you are confused, I need to do a better job.
So, let me start.
I will start first with some information perhaps some do not know.
♦ Ever since the Western sanctions against Russia were created, an entire new black market of finance has been created in the “grey zone” that circumvents the sanctions and assists the people trapped by them.
Almost no one, sans a handful of people I have met, really have a full scope understanding of what is going on.
You cannot discover this information within the yellow zone. You cannot get this level of comprehension from behind a keyboard safely in your home office or den. You have to put your boots on the ground, take some risks and see exactly how it works. {Example Here}
The Russian sanctions were not created to block the Russians. The Russian sanctions were created to wall-in the West.
There are now networks of people who operate in various places that create proactive financial mechanisms for what you might call, “financial preppers.”
These people and groups set up bank accounts in foreign countries for you; they organize addresses (needed), phone numbers (needed), and create accounts that you can access that are outside the control of the dollar-based financial system. You can even get an official passport in the process.
These people also sell hardware [to support the phone numbers (really digital ids)] that is completely different from what exists behind the wall of the yellow zone.
How many Americans know that an iPhone-15 sold in the USA is completely different from an iPhone-15 sold outside the yellow zone? Meaning, the internal hardware is different. How many Americans know that?
How many Americans know that an iPhone-15 sold inside the USA has different originating software than an iPhone-15 sold outside the USA?
How many people know that when you purchase one of these “ghost phones”, the data network automatically identifies the disparity when the phone crosses into the yellow zone, and shortly thereafter the cellular network transmits a software update to bring the “ghost phone” into USA (yellow zone) compliance?
How many Americans know phone apps and internal app functions can exist on phones outside the yellow zone that do not exist inside the yellow zone?
Example: use a ghost phone, and you can access a digital wallet in Telegram; you can transmit funds to other Telegram users. However, use a USA compliant phone and you cannot. The function is there but the service is, “not available in your area.”
Why?
It’s about control.
If you don’t update the software, the function exists inside the yellow zone. However, update the software and the function disappears.
This happens.
Another real-life example was recently missed by many people when the story of the Apple Watch Series 9 was found to have violated patent technology and was banned for sale in the USA. {STORY}
To get into legal compliance, Apple transmitted a remote software update disabling the function of the patent technology in the USA. Again, for emphasis, only in the USA. Bring your non-compliant Series-9 into the range of a wifi network, and bingo auto-compliance. I mention this story only to highlight a modern compliance capability that many people do not know exists.
In essence, your tech devices -and the capability therein- are different than an identical tech device sold outside the Western control zone.
♦ Technology is intertwined with Central Bank Digital Currencies. Tech companies are regulated by the U.S/Western government, and the tech companies have to comply. The regulatory compliance is part of the process of control. There are regulatory walls around us that most do not understand. The same regulatory principle applies to finance and banking. Hence, the origination motive of the yellow zone wall, built under the auspices of Russian sanctions.
Let me make one big point resoundingly clear before moving on. When the WESTERN Central Bank Digital Currency system begins, all forms of cryptocurrency will be blocked and made unlawful inside the Western zone – either by regulation or by legislation.
Let me repeat this. Cryptocurrency in all forms will be banned.
Crypto is not technically a currency; it is a barter based on trust. However, at a certain point (origination or end) crypto must have the ability to transfer into currency value. Dollars (or another currency) are needed to purchase BitCoin,…. or BitCoin eventually sold or exchanged for Dollars (or another currency). [BitCoin only used as a familiar type of crypto.] This process is where crypto gets blocked.
Ownership of Crypto may not be unlawful, but any effort to use Crypto as an alternate digital currency to exchange value will be unlawful once the dollar based CBDC is launched.
A fully implemented govt controlled central bank digital currency will not allow competition. Alternate crypto currency will be banned. Without any doubt!
Back to the original questions:
“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?”
The grey zone can trade amongst themselves however they want; the yellow zone (West) has no capability to stop them. Ex. if Russia wants to trade 1,000 barrels of oil with China for 100 boxes of intel microchips, they can. Or, if China and Russia want to exchange digital yen for digital rubles, they can; the West cannot stop them. However, if China wants to interact with a yellow zone member, the yellow zone financial rule makers have rules. China would have to be compliant with a dollar based CBDC to exchange value within the yellow zone.
Similarly, if you want to exchange a bushel of corn for 10 dozen eggs with your neighbor, you can; there is no mechanism to stop you. However, if you need to pay your mortgage, you will have to be compliant with a dollar based CBDC to exchange value, ie pay your bill.
Which brings me to the next question:
“All money of consequence in my life is already just digits in computer networks as far as I can perceive. … I’m at a loss as to why this is so qualitatively different as far as my financial security.”
This is the common mistake that most people make.
There is a big difference between “electronic transactions” of dollars, and the existence of a “digital dollar.”
Let me give you a metaphor using a casino as the reference.
♦ CURRENT – You go to the casino window and exchange $10,000 dollars for poker chips valued at $10,000. You give the teller $10,000 in cash, bankers check, money order, a credit card or debit card transaction, and the teller gives you chips worth $10,000 in that casino. You can use the chips gambling and perhaps win more chips. Return to the window with $12,000 in casino chips, and the teller exchanges the chips for $12,000 dollars – cash or check or deposit into your electronic card.
You meet a man in the casino willing to give you his fancy Rolex watch in exchange for $5,000. You give the man $5,000 worth of your poker chips and he gives you his Rolex watch. That man can then go to the teller window and exchange the chips for $5,000 in cash. You have the watch.
♦ DIGITAL DOLLAR – You go to the teller window and produce your bank card containing a digital dollar balance. You exchange $10,000 worth of your digital dollars for $10,ooo dollars’ worth of poker chips. Except this time, with a digital dollar, each poker chip has your fingerprint on it. You spend or bet your poker chips, and each chip you win also arrives to you with your fingerprint on it. You win $12,000 dollars. You return to the window with $12,000 in chips, each with your fingerprint, and the teller uploads your card with $12,000 digital dollars.
You meet a man in the casino willing to give you his fancy Rolex watch in exchange for $5,ooo. However, you cannot give the man your poker chips because they are unique to you and are carrying your fingerprint. If he takes your fingerprint poker chips to the window, his fingerprint does not match the chip; his request for $5,000 in digital dollars would be denied. He cannot sell you his watch. Your transactional capability is limited by the digital fingerprint.
[If he was planning to sell his watch for $5,000 in order to purchase a motorcycle worth $5,ooo, it is possible for you to purchase the motorcycle, exchange it for his watch and then carry on. However, the motorcycle would be digitally registered to you, and you would be digitally registered to the motorcycle. A reconciliation process is needed.]
A digital dollar creates a unique id attached to that digital dollar. Ultimately, the central bank that issues the digital dollar controls what the digital id can do (that’s you), and what those digital dollars can be used for (what you can do).
Digital dollars can be blocked from gun purchases, and digital ids can be used to stop unapproved users from purchasing guns – or a gas guzzling suv, or a house that’s too big, or the non-compliant fridge, or whatever.
Sellers of goods (or information) can have their ids banned from receiving digital dollars, just as VISA and MasterCard blocked sellers of guns from accessing their electronic transaction system. With digital dollars, “demonetization”, an alarmingly familiar modern term, can become a function of a financial regulation system. “Debanking” another alarmingly familiar term, also becomes much easier.
Ultimately, a dollar-based US-Central Bank Digital Currency, ie a “digital dollar,” is about control.
Every transaction has a unique digital fingerprint, and every digital dollar can be traced by the IRS to the digital id associated with it.
There is a BIG difference between electronic funds (current), and a digital dollar (future).
I hope that helps.
CBDC + Criminalization of Barter/Trade = Absolute end of Private Property Rights.
Not that they are not on their last leg anyway given the proliferation of private property taxation.
And it’s still fiat money backed by nothing, so basically it’s about total control of every American life that isn’t in the Big Club that we aren’t in. Damn Commie freaks.
Control ultimately requires submission.
Where we are already at is terrifying, there isn’t a word strong enough for this – Where we are heading. How do we fight against it? Other than not feeding the beast, which we all sort of do with our debit and credit card transactions.
Think barter systems. Put aside tangible items that have a long shelf life, like ammunition, tobacco, coffee.. gold and silver coins..to barter or trade for other tangible items we will need *outside* of the coming CBDC transaction system. As Christians who believe in our Constitutional Republic and personal freedom, The Book of Revelation prophecies we will be financial outcasts, martyred for rejecting the mark of the beast.
It is therefore wise for Christians to study the Holy Bible and the Book of Revelation in preparation. Living outside of the matrix takes planning. Think like a homesteader and network with like-minded neighbors.
As internet access can be cut off at some point, and heavy travel restrictions applied, it will be harder for us to access information, products and services outside of our small communities. We have about a year (?) to get ourselves in decent shape to “buy and sell” away from the beast.
Ask for God’s continued guidance. As the world moves in this godless direction, we will certainly need it.
won’t an underground economy spring up?
Yes.
It already exists. The digital dark net, however, becomes vulnerable. Other physical instantiations may be needed.
It’s already there; has been for decades if not longer. One merely needs to learn to adapt to and understand it. It’s not as convenient as touching a few spots on a smartphone and things happening. We’ve gotten used to convenience and are a bit spoiled by it.
I call it the Amazon effect. It’s programming which can be hard to unwind for many. Those of us who are older and lived in the pre-Amazon world for many decades perhaps have less issue unwinding the convenience addiction. Some of us used the underground economy back then and some of us never stopped. 🙂
Sure. Followed in short order by laws against “economic terrorism” and the expansion of state and federal alphabet agencies to infiltrate and arrest (or kill) econ-terrorists. Think “Miami Vice” but about all-purpose flour and toilet paper.
Let me explain in fewer words:
The current system is that everything goes through a bank and the Gov has no access to the ledger, just to the final sums. The Gov knows little of your granular spending.
The NWO system is that with digital currency every time you make a purchase that granular ledger is shared with the Gov. Banks are bypassed. The Gov knows absolutely everything you do…
What else?
Because the Gov knows everything you do, they’ll be able to, say, prevent you from purchasing meat because you already consume too much meat. A Gov law can be enacted immediately. You can’t hide. So if you’re not allowed to buy certain things you might be reduced to barter… but most people will just eat insects (the next generations)..
Any cyber defended digital system requires sensing, monitoring, policy/enforcement, enforcement mechanisms – in order to persist.
In such an environment, what purpose would banks serve? What services would they provide? What value would they have? What physical presence would they need/want? Would all banking be ‘virtual’? Interesting.
I could envision a small remaining utopian population serviced by robots, synthetics (artificial beings) and AI.
Would we ever evolve to a point where money and wealth are irrelevant? It could see it happening if we discover how to efficiently interchange matter and energy. IDK, greed and avarice are powerful human drives. Quite a tall order. Makes for good books and movies though. 🙂
think about the original Star Trek TV series and then think about the newer Star Trek motion pictures, think about Star wars movies. and go back in time to the Buck Rogers in outer space Radio shows. What is a ( a Sci-fi fantasy that we dream up) often becomes a reality in time. Thank you Sundance for your work, but you have only just begun and you are going to need a lot of help.
I could envision a small remaining utopian population serviced by robots, synthetics (artificial beings) and AI.
And they will become as the Eloi in HG Wells, The Time Machine.
Correction,…right now, they CAN access that info, its just no automatic.
You can bet every one of the 1300+ J6 defendants, they did illegal 702 about searches, of their travel, including cell phone pings, and their purchase history going back years, and even 3 hop.
With CBDC, they will have direct access, and algirythm spiders crawling over your data.
Also in the works is a system where you need a unique “Internet ID” in order to connect to and use the Internet, email, etc.
…and here’s what it looks like when CBDCs are implemented along with your “Internet ID”.
As Sundance has explained, with CBDCs your money now all literally has your name on it. It can be turned on and off by the banks / governments (same thing) anytime they choose. They can control what you buy and sell, they can lock your accounts so you can’t buy food, gas, and so on.
Why would they do that? For the same reason as the NYC prosecutor is going after Trump’s property. He is a political enemy.
Have you posted online (using your new Internet ID) something which some blue hair could say was anti-government? Do you not profess your love for Big Brother? Did you try to buy ammunition? Your bank account is now frozen, you cant earn money or buy anything, until you adequately explain yourself and apologize to the blue hair.
Technically and policy-wise, “they” can already do all of that.
CBDC centralizes and streamlines.
The supporting legal/policy structure is something that requires more attention.
And we are talking about a “Universal Biometric I.D.” i.e. your cell phone, but in order to prevent a cell phone thief from having access, “Biometric” checks, either fingerprint or retinal scan….
Which means the same ner-do-wells that do home invasions and duct tape victims to chairs and torture them for pin#’s, will just amputate fingers and gouge out eyeballs with spoons.
And this is so self-evident that unless they can figure out some alternative, they will encounter a great deal of resistance, to mass acceptance of Universal, Biometric I.D.’s.
And, without them how can they implement CBDC’s?
Remember: even biometric systems digitize physical features and their relations into cyber objects like files.
Any digital object can be “messed” with once access is realized – or any of the systems that store or processes these digital structures is compromised.
The whole game of cyber is cat and mouse – the limiting factors are time and resources. Nation stations have an obvious advantage.
I am afraid that the plandemic proved that most will enjoy the amazon effect and jetson’s utopia….
I and mine are mavericks and we did not go along and in many ways benefited – under the radar.
Understood, but we did not escape inflation, supply chain disruption, scarcity, among other aspects of basic living. I hope that a black swan event crashes the plan, but otherwise, escaping the electronic net implies living like it were the late 1800s; doable, but not really ideal.
We might have to give up some creature comforts we have taken for granted in our prosperity years but learning the art of operating in plain sight while actually staying under the radar is a skill set. This morning I watched Tucker Carlson interview Paul Vaughn, the Christian who was arrested at his home last October by four FBI agents, dressed in armor and wielding assault rifles. His crime was praying in a lobby of an abortion clinic. He is facing 11 years in prison. Did you ever think this could happen here in the USA? At the end of the 16 minute interview Tucker asked him how he felt about going to prison for the next decade. He replied that he of course was not happy about it but that if that was what God wanted from him, to minister in prison, he would step up. Tucker said “and that is why they fear you.”
We have to stop being afraid because that is what satan wants – us neutered and unable to think and therefore not resisting. Well, I have chosen the hill I am willing to die on so I listen, obey and trust.
Mee, thanks for the thoughts. Don’t assume others have not already come to that hill. The point is that only massive non-compliance will actually achieve the goal of re-establishing ‘consent,’ but when the masses consent as shown with covid, then there are no creature-comforts, but conflict for basic and essential goods.
May the holy spirit guide you well, as he has me!
Fear not, He is with us and if He be for us, who can be against us? 🙂
I think I should share this:
https://meemanator.substack.com/p/the-rest-of-the-story
Thanks for the link and information in your article. Safe travels!
FYI…I am blessed beyond belief and respond to the chaos and conflict presented to m as it seems necessary and appropriate.
How is it that this doesn’t eliminate banks?
Having to apologize to some blue hair! Just a few years ago this scenario would have been laughable, unthinkable. Now, as the stern Nazi officers used to say – “Diz is no laughing matter”.
Describing the indescribable.
Sundance, that is great explanation. I’ll be sending it to a few people I know who don’t understand the ramifications of digital currency.
I do have one question – this is something I have heard regarding the conversion to CBDC. Upon the initial conversion there will potentially be a loss of up to 20% value in what I own in US$$. Is there validity to that? How would I even know if that happened?
Ah, IMPLEMENTING it, initially. First off, since they can change the value at any time, and they want people to want CBDC’s, I suspect the opposite; FIRST get people to convert,…THEN devalue.
It only makes sense.
Second, HOW do you get a bunch of people to dive off a cliff? You motivate them to WANT to, either by incentive (your wealth increases by 20% if you convert to CBDC!) OR fear;
If you don’t convert in 20 days, your $’s become worthless.
And even *!Financial collapse!* the Global financial system is about to collapse, and the ONLY thing that can save it is if everyone converts to CBDC’s, so DO IT NOW,. to save Grandma,…and think of the Children!
I don’t think its going to work, I think its SO tempting to TPTB, that they refuse to concede, TO THEMSELVES that it can not work, and in their attempt to force it upon the world, it will be the final straw that breaks their grip on Control.
“If you don’t convert in 20 days, your $’s become worthless” brings up a memory.
Years ago we were working with someone in Brazil and they told the story of a relative there who kept their currency ‘under the mattress’ though actually in a metal box.
The nation then changed their currency to what it is now and gave the holders of the old cash a short period of time to turn it in so to convert to the new currency. His relative held onto the old currency, believing it would gain in value as he had no trust in the new government plan, and, he now has a box of worthless currency and exactly your comment – completely worthless, his life’s savings gone, just like that!
Anyone who was/is a MASH fan can recall the episode where the camp scrip was being changed at a particular time on a particular day. Charles Emerson Winchester, prince of self-importance that he was, went on a little personal campaign to buy up all the scrip from the peasantsoutside the camp to change it for the scrip at a certain price at the right hour.
Unfortunately for Charles, those who knew of his skullduggery arranged to have him delayed at the edge of camp upon his return.
They passed it with no debate and no questions allowed – wow! thought that only happened with U.S. “representatives’!
So…….okay…..what can be done about this? Can we stop it some how? Trump has said….he will not allow a digital currency.
Besides…….isn’t this what the demonrats would call racist……this is literally an ID. system that they constantly say discriminates against…minorities!
IT’S long past time to get rid of these effing elites that think they own our lives!!!
I guess there’s a reason why George Gammon (he does financial stuff and things, lol – he does good videos on various financial topics) lives in Puerto Rico.
Won’t it be odd if people are invading the southern border from Central America while people from the US are headed south to establish alternatives and gain access to the “grey zone”?
How do you take your money with you to anywhere else if the CBDC has control over it? You can’t buy an airline ticket, food, gas, or live in a foreign country without money. What do you do then?
Maybe you’ll have a debit card with a chip and your digital dollars will be loaded onto that as long as you are a good girl.
Casino example was a terrific explanation.
Thank you!
Thanks for the explanation. It was really helpful and I expect to direct others to it.
Maybe its just me, but I feel like a rat in a maze having to make all these predictive next moves to avoid being permanently trapped… or, alternately, feeding the beast.
My husband and I — as well as our young adult daughters trying to get started in life — are already feeling this very real struggle of decision-making for the long game.
Just when we think we have some kind of plan, there is a new conjured up reality to deal with.
So the 1970’s songs return to mind:
“Day by Day” and “One Day at a Time”
And most importantly
“Give us this day our daily bread.”
Who is benefitting from these “Russian” sanctions? Russia.
Who has been carrying out the military clean up operations in “Deep State” controlled Ukraine? Russia.
Who is not part of the Yellow controlled banking areas shown on the map? Russia.
Who was just hit with a terrorist attack possibly carried out by Yellow Intel? Russia.
Who handed President Trump the soccer ball when he was on the world tour and said the ball is in your court? Russia.
(Interesting side note, when I was typing ball, I hit the wrong key and it spelled out “baal”. Isn’t that poetic justice! The devil is in our court.)
Big picture, I believe Russia is on the side of We the People in attempting to clean up the evil in the world. When all is said and done, we citizens are basically more aligned with Russia and its people than we are with our own corrupt to the core evil rulers in our own house.
The same Russia that has an authoritarian gov’t led by a former FSB/KGB operative?
There are no “good” operators in this drama. They’re all jockeying for future control/influence.
Think about your first sentence and switch the word “Russia” with the word “USA”.
Right now, who are we to talk?
“Govt led by…”
Make no mistake, I am pro-USA and I am pro-Govt.
I am however anti-corruption.
If we are to call anyone’s baby ugly, we need to look in the mirror and start with our own.
Years ago, citizen Trump was interviewed about the US bombing other countries. His reply was very honest. He said maybe the US aren’t always the good guys.
Of course he wasn’t talking about the average citizens. He was referring to the corrupt leadership.
The enemy of my enemy…
I wouldn’t be on this board having various three letter agencies collect identity and other metadata on me unless I agreed with the larger picture you are fashioning.
There are, however, multiple vistas into this – no one has exclusive provenance over any of them. That’s my right as an individual “living his best life”. Goes with the package fellow citizen.
And in my book, I do look at the morality/values part of the equation. Russia, specifically Putin and his apparatus are as villainous as many others. It isn’t an either or outlook. It’s keeping consistent with one’s value system.
If you want to think (i.e., decide next steps) along pure power outcomes alone – that’s your prerogative.
Not sure about “Russia on the side of We the People”. Some things in Russia maybe desirable to me. I do believe our contemporary government maybe the most corrupt, liars and meanest on the planet. Very rare for US government making anything better for taxpayers. My daddy always said, “don’t believe everything you read.” With my 77 years of experience I believe he was correct. Two 1968-70 tours in war zones amplified these beliefs. I try to use cash greenbacks.
Maybe our so called elites are setting up their new go to place in Ukraine! Central Bank Digital Dots may lead all the way to the newly rebuilt Ukraine. Several months ago while I was in the grocery store, I heard a man who interrupted a group of us standing in line talking about inflation. He was very enthusiastic as he told us what was happening in Ukraine. “You should see what we’re rebuilding there, he said. It’s really something great!!
How is it that we the US citizens don’t know anything about that “great rebuilding” going on in Ukraine? And how much is that costing US? Another secret silo?
Great clarification. Now, how to find workarounds.
My question as well, we need to figure this out like pronto
I believe crypto-currency must win if mankind has any hope of freedom in the digital age, because it fundamentally enables a decentralized trust and transaction model – no need for Central Banks. Just like minted gold coins, a true digital currency can be backed by a government or another decentralized institution, making the Fed superfluous.
Additionally, if we choose, we can own our personal digital hardware “vault” and skip banks altogether.
Those who have controlled the world money supply for millenniums, those who finance wars and genocide, now know they cannot regulate a properly governed and implemented cryptocurrency. They must co-opt it. That also means they will, if necessary, bring down the West and any pretense of liberty trying to preserve their eternal evil grip upon humanity.
A high level perspective to dip your toes into the water…………..:
“Bitcoin is based not on the idea of liberal freedom, but on republican freedom.”
“Bitcoin blockchain protocol promises both negative freedom (“Don’t Tread on Me”) and positive freedom (“We the People”), as with republican freedom, it attracts not only libertarians but also progressives.
The Bitcoin blockchain provides security and ownership of data by administering the mechanisms of a trustless, transparent and decentralized system. Any “interference” to Bitcoin’s protocol has to be deliberated on, and consented to, by the core developers and node operators before it is approved and implemented.”
https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2021/07/23/what-is-bitcoin-freedom/
Michael Saylor does an excellent overview of the history of money and how he believes BTC shapes the future.
In an interview series with Robert Breedlove he walks through money from the beginning of man and into the future. I linked it below (ignore Breedlove’s commentary at the beginning and end of each video if you want to save time):
Also, find the Lex Fridman interview of Michael Taylor, as well as Patrick Bet David. They’re good to understanding the foundation of BTC and how it’s different than any other “cryptocurrency” – hint there is no control of BTC in how many coins will exist unlike other crypto’s. BTC is property.
Bitcoins threatened the monopoly of National Gummints and Central banks, and of coarse they can’t stand the competition.
Hence, they are converting THEIR fiat currency TO a Digital token, and will in the process attempt to outlaw any non-sovereign independant Digital currency.
I think you’re right.
However, some big assumptions being made about gov’t ability to operate and defend a very complex technology and people set – let alone the ultimate willingness of society to submit.
As with almost everything in life, it gets down to people. This is one reason I’m not fully on board with the tech-averse crowd (notice I did not say Luddites). Tech empowers. But tech change will always pursue its own path obstacles or not.
It’s the people in power that shoulder final responsibility and accountability. Take away their tools they’ll find others. The real goal in all of this is to remove the corrupt power structure – or at the least “change their incentives”.
The Casino analogy is quite helpful. This paragraph is the nut of it;
“Digital dollars can be blocked from gun purchases, and digital ids can be used to stop unapproved users from purchasing guns; or a gas guzzling suv, or a house that’s too big, or the non-compliant fridge, or whatever.”
And that example is a gross simplification, necessary for illustration purposes.
In practice, they percieve (I am sure) that they can infinetly fine tune the economy, adjusting wages and prices in ways heretofor impossible.
They finally will be able to have absolute control, no longer burdened by the dictates of “Supply and Demand” as they can encourage or discourage the demand for various products or services, at will.
Think of it like traffic controls; the current system uses advertising, etc. to,…encourage people to drive down this road, rather tgan THAT one.
CBDC’s will be like the cattle chutes used at the stockyards, to control the flow of “traffic”, SEE the difference?
Thanks. We need all the tools possible to help people understand what is in our monetary future.
I can think of two reasons right off the top of my head why this threat is lower than you imagine. First are the infrastructure and energy requirements relating to CBDCs. The number and types of transactions that occur using hard currency are myriad and building out a means to codify and track them is an inordinately complicated problem.
Point in case, and the real reason why CBDCs are a joke are the impacts on politicians themselves in relation to bribes, kick backs and other forms of corruption. Hard to bribe a judge with CBDC don’t you agree?
The government that can put a digital fingerprint on CBDCs can also replace the fingerprints with different ones. Now imagine professional hackers from each bloc messing with fingerprints and doing a new equivalent of bank heists.
Not if that judge’s corruption is approved by the central bank. Just like The Federal Reserve works with BlackRock. The corruption will be built into the system.
Think again. You don’t have to bribe them you just make it impossible for them to buy or sell, or pay for their elderly dad’s heart surgery or even get an appointment with the doctor b/c he or she is under threat of their CBDC being withheld. We’re talking total magalomaniac control here. A Rabid New World you couldn’t have dreamed of! Sundance’s alert is prophetic.
Is the use of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) akin to a modern Star of David as a means of social and economic isolation?
If so how do people avoid this platform?
I could see such currency as identifying one as ‘of the body’, or not. Those ‘not of the body’ are isolated socially and economically. I stole that phrase from a Star Trek episode where a machine called Landru runs a society. The episode is called ‘The Return of the Archons‘. One can draw some interesting parallels to current society from it.
How do we avoid it? Learn other methods of living and interaction.
Forex, I’m old and get a minimum SS each month. If that goes digital, no way around that. It’ll be used to handle essentials as it does now, like utilities, property taxes, etc. The state hands out food benefits to poor folk and I eat fine on what they offer, and will if they offer it in digital currency.
The rest of my life will be, as it is now, off-grid. Barter, other currencies, alternative economy. For appearances, I’d be a typical old, poor, compliant prol, well, until I’m not, but that’ll be a point of war that I won’t expect to survive. 🙂
“Let me repeat this. Cryptocurrency in all forms will be banned.”
It’s because cryptocurrencies would make US “sanctions” meaningless. They control this power by punishing us…
“Western sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine have sought to weaken Russia’s economy by targeting traditional financial institutions like banks. But the sanctions have also restricted the ability of Russians to use bitcoin and other digital currencies. Lawmakers want to prevent Russians who have been sanctioned from using crypto to move money out of the country.
Last year, the European Union created new sanctions that completely ban many Russians in Europe from using crypto. But the sanctions don’t always target the people lawmakers intended.
Olga Shkolina, an activist from northern Russia, fled to Poland with her teenage daughter not long after Russia invaded Ukraine. She started a new life in the EU to avoid persecution for her activism from Russia’s government. But sanctions complicated Shkolina’s financial life. Her ex-husband in Russia could no longer send her child support for their daughter after she left the country.
“It’s impossible to send money from Russian banks to European ones,” she said.
The couple found a way to work around the restrictions. Shkolina’s ex started sending her the payments using cryptocurrency — which is decentralized not connected to a bank. She would then convert her crypto into cash, through what’s called a crypto exchange.”

I imagine everyone paid attention to the pervasive and large failures of many crypto exchanges over the last many years.
Even crypto requires credit/leveraging, etc., to get up, running and sustained.
As well as all the nefarious players who were openly trying to destroy cryptos.
Including folks inside that ecosystem (e.g., SBF).
thank you Michael B. forewarned is forearmed. People need to educate and defend themselves.
That’s why gold silver cash food on hand has been talked about so much for 2 years. Wake up
a replacement is around the bend. Peace
Thanks Sundance for expanding your already deep explanations about this. I admit to my eyes glazing over about it. Using your casino metaphor, I GET IT NOW. A question everyone is asking is What Are We To Do To Stop This???
We have worked our lifetimes for what money we have, and I’ll be damned if I will allow some government mechanism to stop me from spending it how we choose!!
I agree, we need to figure this out quickly. I have two degrees in finance, worked in banking and finance my whole life and I have no idea how to protect what I have when this comes online.
There is Yellow. There is Gray. These represent options in the currency realm. A distinct concept from exchange, barter, trade, etc.
The question of the moment is whether they will ultimately be different shades of the same color.
Anyone who has their “retirement” in a 401k or IRA,, IMHO should consider cashing it in and pay the 10% ‘penalty’.
Firstly, your financing Larry Fink, and they did NOT create that whole system, to benefit YOU.
Secondly, obviously such a system keeps you on their CBDC reservation.
Thirdly, read “the Great Taking” and understand that you don’t own anything, and they are going to try to take everything, anyway.
Hence, you want to convert from intangible, to tangible and now is the time to MAKE that conversion.
TANGIBLE assets, with intrinsic value, rather than pieces of paper.
A shotgun, a hammer or saw, a can of food, these things have intrinsic value, and that value can not be taken away.
A stock certificate, a mortgage, or a $ bill only have value, so long as we agree to recognise them as having value.
Land, if its paid for and if you can defend it,…
Thanks again
I wonder if all of our money having been sent to Ukraine is really the elites safety deposit box. It could be for things they might want to do to protect themselves or buy more power. Money that for them is not under the CBDC control system. The Biden regime is so evil there’s no end to what they might do or might have set up for themselves.c
We must find a way of defeating and destroying their plans for us.
China already has a Social Credit Score that they use to restrict behaviors they don’t want and encourage other behaviors.
And they already punish people for ‘bad social credit.
So, how has digital money been added in to this system of abuse?
And isn’t what you’re warning about basically forcing both on us?
Forcing a central digital transaction system on us enables any and all means of control including social or political. Cryptocurrency (e.g. Bitcoin) decentralizes all transaction so there is no central point a government can insert control over our funds.
This is exactly why Sundance is trying to explain the crucial difference between digital transactions, cryptocurrency (eg Bitcoin) and Central Bank Digital Currency.
Bitcoin does not totally address the issue, as I understand it because there IS a transaction record, when there is a transaction.
I can have a bitcoin wallet, and Govt can’t see into that wallet. However, whenI take any “$” out, to pay for anything, as I understand it they can then “see” the trandaction, tax it or outlaw it?
Sundance’s comments focus on the identity management part of digital currency. Specifically the so called ledger tier of blockchain structures. You are correct, in theory, that the distributed, encrypted/digital signature nature of the system complicates techniques such as brute force by orders of magnitude.
There have been instances of successful cryptocurrency cyber attacks – to include increasingly nettlesome technologies like ransomware.
One of the keys to all of this is understanding that it comprises more than technology.
Sorry, you didn’t praise Xi-the-Pooh 6 times today, you won’t be able to buy a plane ticket to Las Vegas this weekend, unless you want to pay double…
China…really the CCP…also had to deal with social strife with brute force. That works to a point. And then a society collapses.
Thanks for the article Sundance. Another way to think about the difference between digital dollars and a CBDC is that every penny is unique and tracked. So they know who you give your dollars to, where they came from and where they end up. Not only can they ban an individuals transactions but they also know the history of anyone who interacted with that individual. Of course this is a one-way information as the ledger is not public, so no you still won’t know who is bribing congress people (but it will still be used by them to blackmail each other).
The other factor not mentioned is the CBDC can be programmed. The fed now just controls interest rates through buying and selling bonds and whatever. With a CBDC they can make it so that your dollars, and only your dollars, have an expiration date. So you better spend it now on approved transactions or lose them.
Programmability also allows for transaction-level and individual tax (or incentive) rates to be set. Rather than just banning you specifically firearm sales, impose a transaction tax of 50 million percent just for you. No constitution problems. For everyone else its a crime-discouraging 25%. Similarly interest rate on savings or whatever can be set on an individual level
It is an insane level of granularity and control that no doubt will be abused in many other ways. CBDCs are a tyrants wet dream.
“It is a tyrants wet dream” is exactly what I have been saying for awhile.
And my view is, they are so lusting after the control they percieve it as affording them, that they are blinded as to its impracticalities.
They simply refuse to admit, TO THEMSELVES that implementing such a system is impossible, as they will never gain acceptance of the populace.
“But IF we could,…just imagine the possibilities!”
“But,…we can’t.”
But IF we COULD!”
“But we CAN’T!”
“Oh, shut up!”
Small point….for all the gov’t blathering…the Fed does not control interest rates. They influence rates through Open Market Operations/monetary policies and some other tools in the larger scheme of trying to influence human behaviors in the financial and market arenas. They clearly often guess incorrectly and employ blunt correction instruments.
How far can a gov’t go in controlling (versus influencing) human behaviors?
Historically, revolutions do happen as do global conflicts to restore some semblance of morality and accountability.
I raised this issue on this site almost two years ago: digital currency + identity management + scorecard. I noted that Microsoft had/has been very aggressive in obtaining identity management patents toward this end.
Makes one rethink AI…doesn’t it? Not because of its gee whiz capabilities (e.g., AGI), but because it is a cover for massive growth in data collection, processing, weaponizing.
Think system-of-systems – systems interconnect; systems comprise technology, infrastructure, labor/people, design, algorithms, storage, operations, maintenance, energy, minerals, spectrum, fiber, etc., etc. Systems are manufactured by OEMs; politicians vote for these systems.
Think single points of failure. Think huge energy requirements. Think the course and control of quantum computing technologies.
It’s not just digital currency. It’s anything digital or digitally controlled. That said, those sets of digits have to be invested with meaning. And that’s where it starts to get interesting.
There’s something else that’s being overlooked here. Most Americans take advantage of the standard deductions on IRS taxes. I’ve spent many years trying to retain enough receipts to come up with more write-offs than the standard deduction allows, but I’ve never even come close.
The standard deductions are allowed because the IRS auditors don’t want people dragging in a buncha receipts in a brown paper grocery bag into audits with them.
But….a digital system would allow them to scrap the standard deduction and just start having people write off their real deductions instead. Think of how much revenue the IRS would recoup with such a change. And the burden would be on people to assign a tax write-off value to every single receipt, which most people are pretty lousy at such a granular level.
If you give the govt. that much power over your financial affairs, they will take advantage of it.
ETA: And if you think this isn’t possible or is a remote possibility, just think about what Lois Lerner of the IRS did to Conservatives who belonged to the TEA Party…..
There way beyond that; they intend to move to “Universal Basic Income” as an interim step, remember the ULTIMATE goal is massive population reduction from the current 7.5 Billion, to 1/2 Billion.
You load 16 tons, What do you get ?
oldie but a goodie. snapping my fingers to the beat…
Like your life savings exists on Hunter Biden’s laptop.
What could possibly go wrong?
PROPHETIC DREAM: A DARK AND DANGEROUS PLAN – Ash West, John Redenbo
(rumble.com):
And that was analog.
Sundance, thanks. Absolutely clear. Sharing.
Frightening! Once a CBDC is put in place by legislation or regulation (more likely), our Constitution and legal system will be unable to undo it. Those in control will financially squeeze members of our judicial systems into submission.
Its a “wet dream” that will never work.
Its like “self-driving cars” which is another fantasy that can never, as a practical manner be made to work.
Not by making individual autos that “self drive” that is.
Only by putting an AI supercomputer in charge of, IN CONTROL OF ALL vehicles, and all pedestrians, bycyclists, etc. is such a system possible.
Another analogy for CBDC’s, right there.
A digital currency will evolve to the point where you need permission to buy a loaf of bread. You can be turned down if your social score is lacking.
So many good comments, and great analogies from Sundance!
One thing I would like to emphasize is that digital ID is the gateway and prerequisite to CBDC.
Digital ID will be implemented through *facial recognition*. How do I know that? That is how it is done in China right now. China is a technocracy. We need to become familiar with the word technocracy.
People may fear having chips put in their hands. When facial recognition is presented instead, they may say, Oh, OK, at least they’re not putting chips in our hands!
See the use of the Overton window to manipulate people? We must not provide biometric facial recognition data.
We still have the power to not comply. We have it right now.
I was in the DFW airport recently. They were taking photos of every passenger at the TSA. I was wearing a silly mask for going through TSA. When it was my turn, I told the lady I was declining having my photo taken. She accepted that and said, OK, but I still need to see your face. I pulled down the mask for that purpose and she let me go through. I still wore the mask in the big machine that you stand in with your arms up.
There is a facial recognition system called ID.me. Due to malfunctions, ID.me has made some peoples’ lives hell. The Social Security website has an ID.me login. New laws about identifying the owners of LLCs include pointing your phone at your face and turning your neck back and forth in front of it. Do not do this.
Enough people have to refuse to comply with facial recognition ID. There is your power. Take it and use it.
Agree! And for heaven’s sake: turn OFF facial recognition and/or fingerprint recognition to unlock your phone!
It’s an inconvenience to always have to type in a code, but it’s one less avenue for them to have access to biometrics.
The banks allow facial recognition on your I phone as a way to log in to your account.It seems many people might not realize how dangerous it would become under CBCD.
No surprise that crypto currencies would be banned. Look no further than the prohibition on private ownership of gold back in Great Depression days. That was all about control too.
Same premise and set up as the ‘black market’ ?? That will eventually become the economic market of the world?? The word ‘black’ seems to be in prominent use……..
Russia and China have gone to the gold standard, the USA and other western nations have gone in the other direction – fiat money; which is the real culprit running the ‘black market’ scheme?? East or West??
AND who will win the global control over the ‘black market’ scheme?? Gold or digital??
God Help US
Gold and silver have been the standard.
The US has squandered it’s tangible riches – given away or sold on the black market.
Will the USA even be in the higher echelon of the NWO/communism, or relegated to the bottom feeders…….from prosperity never seem before to poverty…..the USA?? Taken down a few pegs for it’s arrogance??
The useful idiot nation – the USA, party to it’s own demise.
Are the ‘numbers’ from the world amassing here??………. over 49 million illegals and still pouring in over every US border.
73 million abortions a year; courtesy of the USA.
Euthanasia on the upswing.
God on the ropes.
PLGBTQA+ swelling in numbers.
Guns getting harder to hold onto.
Education on the rocks.
Debt on a meteoric rise.
Arrogance in meddling in other nations.
Punishment, chastisement, destruction or forgiveness??
We were strong when we stood behind our constitution and held our Bible and owned a gun; it’s our freedom the world leaders want and are planning to destroy though economic measures.
Sundance,
Thank you for taking the time to explain things and communicate in ways to help people understand.
I discuss the dangers of this control system with people that I meet everyday. With so many people I get the same lack of concern and wonder why more people don’t seem to care.
We The People have to stop this before it is put into place.
I have spoken to the President of the local community bank here where I live multiple times, as well as the County Commissioner’s and at the recent Republican County Convention , where we passed a resolution regarding Gold and Silver being backed by the State of Texas as currency.
I never use a card of any type in my daily transactions.
Digital ID with Biometric Proof, ESG Scoring systems as the controlling function, CBDC’s and elimination of cash all equal TOTAL SLAVERY.
You will own (control) nothing and you will be a slave.
Maybe instead of sand we need to just throw some water on the circuit board…….easier to do and less needed to short circuit the whole damn mess…
A simple .308 through a transformer at a power generation station or switch….and poof. Just be sure to aim low on it so all the oil drains out.
I am digesting the remarkable explanation of CBDC, thank you! However, this explanation made me go WOW…
“How many Americans know that an iPhone-15 sold in the USA is completely different from an iPhone-15 sold outside the yellow zone? Meaning the internal hardware is different. How many Americans know that?”
Simple stupid question. Since 95% of the yellow zones are overrun with illegals from the gray zones, what matter of fresh hell is the US government doing by giving illegals phones and debit cards crossing our southern border or flying in from afar?
Other than the obvious issues, what does that look like in 3 years?
These illegals are digital slaves from day one. We still have a choice, to fight.
Guess what all those IRS agents are going to be monitoring after CBDC is deployed.
So if I have the right if you sell a lawnmower and don’t collect sales tax you’ll be penalized and if you have a garage sale (or any kind of sale) you’ll have to declare the proceeds as income? The IRS will be aware of ALL your transactions. This will do away with the “subterranean economy” and benefit the government greatly.
Anyone who has experienced deplatforming and how powerless you are to seek redress should be able to comprehend how this translates to your bank accounts.
Post the wrong opinion and your account gets locked for a week. Want to talk to a human? Good luck. You can talk to an AI chatbot that walks you in circles.
So now I am curious, I have not ever participated in the so called platform in the first place, am I somehow diminished?
What happens when the digital dollar central bank gets robbed (hacked)?
The entire digital dollar concept is unconstitutional so our existing constitution will be replaced with a digital constitution along with a new and improved digital bill of rights to protect the government as opposed to the people. Thugs will go downhill fast. I don’t want to play!
That explanation helped. Let’s all write our representatives and make sure they work to stop this from happening people!….QUESTION: is there a constitutional basis for opposing this? That would help our argument.
I think digital currency misrepresents exactly what it does and this is why people misunderstand it. So what should we call it? Traceable currency? Personal Identifiable currency, this is what I recommend, or PIC. Currency that is unique to you and traceable to you at all time.
Its akin to your PII, or personal identifiable information, such as DOB, address, mother’s maiden name, mother’s middle name, your SS, etc.
So to summarize, from here forward, it will be called personal identifiable currency or PIC. Good day, Thx SD!
Think it was already given a name ‘mark of the beast’ way back when.
Is our current electrical grid capable of handling all this? What if solar flares or a solar EMP occur? That would take out the entire financial system!
What about cyber -hacking? Can they harden this system in a way that it cannot be hacked? Currently hospital networks, government networks, even the SEC get hacked.
Or, imagine this. Your doctor tells you if your diet doesn’t change you may become a diabetic. You’re in the checkout at your supermarket and the clerk says you are not allowed/approved to purchase the donuts. Maybe your neighbor reported you to the HOA for being “drunk”. You go to Publix to pickup a 12 pack; not approved!
They already have the system in place to do this. It’s called the ICD-10-CM, a three inch thick (and growing) book of medical codes for every possible condition a human could have.
The next time you are at your doctor (who has to submit these codes to insurance to justify any procedure or treatment you get that you AND your doctor want covered), ask for a list of medical codes attached to you as current or previous diagnoses.
If you have an E66.xx code, you are coded as, and recognized in the insurances database as obese. If you have an E66.01, you are coded as “morbidly obese.”
Have depression? An intellectual or developmental disability? Substance abuse? There are hundreds of codes for every type.
Refused a vaccine? Yep, there’s a code for that. Annual flu shot received? Yep, there’s a code.
Point being: be careful what you convey to your doctor. And for heavens sake: stop answering questions or questionnaires like if you have guns or smoke detectors in your home, how many stairs in the home, if you have rugs in your home, etc. Most doctors do not have nefarious intentions in asking these questions, but it is info that gets coded and can be called up BY A CODE doing a simple database search query.
It’s a treasure trove of info the government may one day mandate insurance companies turn over. In the wrong hands, that info can be weaponized.
Thank you for the detailed information regarding the difference between electronic transactions and the new digital currency I have a serious question and I hope you are able to address it Sundance. I have been researching a concept call transactional gold and silver based on the constitution and promoted by Kevin D Freeman, author of Pirate Money. Through his efforts he has created a gold and silver depository in Leander, TX and demonstrated how to use a Glint debit card to access the gold and silver thus making it easily transactional. This is a link to some of the available information https://transactionalgold.com/. A few of my questions are:
1) Will this parallel economy enable us to bypass the government digital currency without retribution?
2) Will the government be able to confiscate the deposited gold and silver like they did under FDR?
3) Will they be able to trace or track our purchases?
I would love to see a deep dive conversation about this topic.
Thank you!
A proposition about transactional gold recently passed in Texas. I think there are at least 12 other states getting on board also.
The constitution allows the states to use gold and silver as money. Then we add modern technology and spend our gold with a card. They are digital transactions in any amount (no problems trying to make a small enough piece of gold) just like using a debit card today.
I own the book Pirate Money and understand the basics of why it is constitutional, how transactions would work, the progress within states, etc. I also follow Kevin D Freeman on Economic WarRoom. My biggest concern and question is if the government can confiscate because we have found a way to get around their system of complete control. My primary interest is not in precious metals as an investment. I am interested in protecting the little bit that I have from confiscation by the rogue government. I also want to be able to transact it as a viable currency. Still hoping Sundance will be able to address this question.
JMO.
To tie it back to the most critical issue of the year ….. the election of President Trump in November, 2024:
———————————
“Tonight, I am also making another promise to protect Americans from government tyranny,” Trump said during a campaign speech in New Hampshire. “As your president, I will never allow the creation of a CBDC.”
The U.S. Federal Reserve has, along with other central banks and governments around the world, been investigating issuing a CBDC but has repeatedly said it wouldn’t create one without authorization from Congress.
“[A digital dollar] would give a federal government—our federal government — absolute control over your money,” Trump said. “They could take your money. You wouldn’t even know it’s gone. This would be a dangerous threat to freedom, and I will stop it from coming to America.”
———————————-
Tied to President Trump’s “never allow the creation” promise, is the method by which to keep that promise from being reversed in the coming decades.
The proposed “2024 Constitutional Republic Mandate” will be used to pull out, by its roots, the unconstitutional, administrative-state, departments, processes and personnel in the Executive Branch, thus ending the weaponization of the federal government.
Doing that will encompass making “null” the massive domestic and federal data bases that are at the crux of the governmental/commercial network of communists who are attempting to control the total population of America’s Constitutional Republic with a small number of central-planner type communists.
Those massive data bases have no use other than to control us …… we don’t need them and keeping our rights and freedoms depends on getting rid of them. The massive data bases are a recent creation, used mainly for controlling citizens. The USA did just fine a few decades ago with disjointed-data files …….. we can do it again.
President Trump understands what needs to be done.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe!”
Dang! This is why they won’t allow him to win, I’m afraid.
Tess from Philly
Thanks for the comments.
President Trump’s MAGA / America First movement has the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and the best leader President Trump.
“They”, aka the bad guys, have nothing to match the 2024 “President Trump’s MAGA / America First movement.”
In 2020, “they” took advantage of an unwary, trusting, busy American populace and suckered punched them with a coup involving members of both parties.
It won’t happen in 2024. It will still take a lot of work at the state / local level but President Trump will be elected. “They” be dammed.”
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe!”
All this effort to exercise such a level of control reveals just how terrified ‘they’ are of one thing, REVOLT.
Imagine from their perspective a repeat of the slave revolt depicted in that series Spartacus when the slaves turned on their owners and murdered them instead of serving them. Or the massacres of the elite British families in India during that revolt.
The elite of this time are aware and afraid of just how very vulnerable they are and are attempting to insulate and protect themselves from any REVOLT by the ‘slaves’.
The driver, the fitness trainer, the chef, the mechanic, the gardener, the maintenance crew, the personal assistant, the tailor, the jeweler, you get the idea.
The FEAR is the motivation that the REVOLT is coming.
Liqueda,
Good comments.
“The driver, the fitness trainer, the chef, the mechanic, the gardener, the maintenance crew, the personal assistant, the tailor, the jeweler, you get the idea. The FEAR is the motivation that the REVOLT is coming.”
Here is an article from 11/2/2021, indicating the revolt has occurred and it is personified by President Trump’s MAGA / America First movement. The link is below.
President Trump won our Decisive Battle in early 2021 when he did not concede the fraudulent 2020 election.

“Let’s go Brandon!”
Thank you for the link. I think it takes time for a revolt to spread, to gain momentum, and swell from the outer edges of society and infiltrate the center at the core. It often takes 15-20 years.
John Adams saw the revolt began in 1760 when people began to see England in a new light, not as benevolent. Lexington in 1775 was the call to arms with the British Yorktown surrender not until 1781.
The process repeated in Civil War, the 1930s turn to socialism with FDR and gold confiscation to where we are now.
The beginning of this revolt was a bit earlier. Say around 2012 when globalism began to be seen as not so benevolent and resistance began to that ‘transformation’ that O spoke of. It tends to build ‘slowly at first’ before it moves to blood spilled.
Then why do they keep ramping up the fear?
I think it’s to quell any resistance and induce submission.
An even more excellent explanation. Thank you, Sundance.
I’m waiting for the ATM machines to vanish.
poof….and they are gone
And THIS is why Superman retired early.
Every transaction funnels thru a data base when you are allowed to purchase. You need to buy ammo, you are denied, you are red flagged with the monitors who scrutinize denied purchases, next thing you know the enforcers are at your door wanting to know why you went to buy ammo.
The haves will decide what and when you are allowed to purchase keeping the have nots right where there want them, in desperate need of control of those who have.
It is the total control mechanism, and just like that you will have ZERO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS, not that we have many left now.
Think of how this can be used to control a judge when you must appear in front of the Ministry of Permission.just 1 example.
