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.
If nation states were using their brains they would not want anything so subject to cyber attack or politics.
Why do a war when you can zero out an entire nation’s wealth? Ie Haiti in control of cannibals? Zero out all their money, all the ones become zeros.
The big huge Swiss banks dream come true….not so much for a small country.
“If nation states were using their brains they would not want anything so subject to cyber attack or politics.”
A nation state controlled by politics that abuse their citizenry dreams for a tool that can exert TOTAL control. They can force EVERYTHING they deem so on their citizenry. This is equivilant to the mark of the beast. You have no ability to buy or sell within this structure unless approved by those who control you.
You assume they care for the citizens of the country more than than lust for the control and power over such citizens. And we know that is entirely a false assumption today.
why do free people sit idly by and allow this to happen?
I see no limit to the measures available in self preservation of our lives and liberties.
I’m a believer in putting as much sand in the gears as possible – Go down gambling but be sure you’re right with God because chances are we’re going down.
“If”
What I was getting at is the huge banks will be in control no matter what a nation state wants after going to digital.
The banks are already in control I’m afraid.
This is why the central banks of most countries have been buying tones of gold. And all their gold which they have stored in the US as collateral has been claimed and shipped back to their countries since we sanctioned Russia and seized their assets.
I tried to read this, but as happens with me sometimes, I read the words without comprehension.
If you want to know why a CBDC is bad, it’s because it’s the ultimate control. How much and what you eat will be traceable. And we all know what big government does when it controls the food.
I admit I do the majority of my spending digitally (school tuitions, mortgage, car insurance, utilities), BUT I pay every small business owner in cash. I pay for my kids’ private tutoring and coaching in cash. I pay the butcher in cash. I pay the dry cleaner in cash. I pay every guy who’s ever worked on our house in cash. Furthermore, I have come to believe that credit card companies are a cancer, sucking the lifeblood out of poor families. Pay cash when you can. They’ll appreciate it. Screw The Man!
When CBDCs are in place, cash will not be. No one wanting to survive in the normal would accept cash because they wouldn’t be able to spend it.
I am imagining you will have to use something like your debit card with a chip in it for everything.
And you will not be able to purchase what “they” don’t like.
Meat, gas stoves, gas-powered vehicles, cigarettes, cigars, generators, seeds, anything that makes you more independent or off the grid.
If you have had a DUI, no liquor for you. If you are a diabetic, your sugar will be limited.
I doubt they would regulate your purchases for health reasons. I’m sure they’d be just fine if you died.
You are probably right there!
Only if you die quickly and don’t run up large unpaid medical bills for a lengthy illness.
You will not be allowed to have cash. You must comply.
Sundance:
“There is a big difference between “electronic transactions” of dollars, and the existence of a “digital dollar.”
As explained in the article, what you are talking about are “electronic transactions,” and where the DANGERS lie are in a personalized DIGITAL DOLLAR.
YOU are NOT using DIGITAL DOLLARS for your tuition, and expenses…you are simply using electronic transactions.
As I understand it, every digital dollar is recorded in an electric ledger called a block chain which contains everything about you and your purchase/payment. That is the finger print that Sundance is referring to I believe.
So essentially it’s a system that is designed so that you can never “withdraw” your “money” physically from it, thus protecting the banking collective from you ever demonetizing them—a system that ensures that it is always between you and your money. Basically financial tyranny. “Legal tender for all debts, public and private” with the elimination of the private part.
“Control is a reaction to fear.” What are these people so afraid of that entire nations of free men, women and children must have vast systems of enslavement designed and imposed on them in such a way as to crush their human spirits to the point of hopelessness and servitude?
Is it because these people are truly evil and are guided by such forces overriding any other consideration?
Is it a breathtaking level of megalomania continuously reinforced by their cabal’s echo chamber that their lofty stations in society bestow upon them an inherent birthright supremacy above all in order to rule humanity?
Is it a mindset that collectively seeks any possible methods of dominion over all others because they fear such a mindset would eventually emerge seeking to do the same to them?
Is it something else?
I would really like to know the truth/origin of this fear, especially since our entire world and current way of life as we know it is nearing total destruction.
Mankind’s way, satans way, is finished. God will intervene soon. He truly is, our only hope.
May I remind you first we go thru tribulation of mans making then the world goes thru the wrath of God a period of 7 years if Jesus doesnt interfere all flesh will be annihilated. Dark times ahead.
Not according to the Bible. Jesus will come back, gather up His children (through the Rapture) and leave behind the rest to fight amongst themselves. Some of those will become believers but most will not, they will side with the devil and Antichrist.
I feels like we’ve already gone beyond 7 years of tribulation!
A century ago, Rudolf Steiner foresaw what’s ahead:
“The ‘War of all against all’ will be caused by egotism, evil and mutual strife. Egotism is the fundamental power in the soul, and this line of evolution will descend ever deeper. When it arrives at the bottom everyone will rage against everyone else and the fifth race will find its destruction in conflict between selfish, egoistic powers.”
https://anthroposophy.eu/War_of_all_against_all
in it right now, midway thru 3rd qtr – satans ahead
Ultimately, it comes from the Marxist desire for a Utopia on Earth. They don’t believe in God. They believe that we are soulless animals. Therefore, this life here on this Earth is all they have. All that they will ever know.
For fulfillment, their only hope is helping install the Utopian dream on Earth. It is their only real purpose in life. Otherwise, they are just animals foraging for food.
They know enough about human nature to know that this can never be done voluntarily. The People must be forced into this Utopia, “…for their own good.”
We only want to help you.
Yes, it is all of those things and more! There is a spiritual entity behind this ideology. It all boils down to a war between good and evil. It really is that simple. You are either on the side of good (freedom) or evil (bondage).
They fear God. And our Love of God.
An important question is what happens to cash???
Think about what happened to rotary phones.
…and Silver Certificates
And 8 tracks and Beta Max players, and AOL Dial up,…
all somewhere in my garage
It likely becomes “unsanctioned” like the Confederate dollar.
Just like with Gold in the FDR years; it will be illegal to own or use cash and huge fines and jail time will deter it.
Bartering will become the new underground economy. Two dozen eggs for that socket wrench.
Yes, and I envision an amnesty period where cash can be turned in for equivalent digital dollars. We’ve seen that with guns they ban.
Regarding bartering, yes, that’s been around since humans have been around and will IMO continue and perhaps expand, along with other aspects of the alternative economy.
I wouldn’t want to be in business in an area like where I live, which is still pretty cash intensive and subsistence economy and largely depends on tourism and the vacations of the wealthy to survive these days
Most people will play the game, just like most people played the Covid game and are playing the Communist game now. Why? They want to survive and playing the game works. 🙂
I believe pretty much ALL “businesses” will be run by government… think: media… high tech…banks… etc. It will become, as it is already in many areas, just “too much” for any businessman/woman to deal with.
More like all governments are run by a few wealthy people, mostly international business people and very wealthy families.
back in the 60s and 70s those flourishing outside the law always worried about govmnt changing the color of money – wake up one Monday to find all green money is worthless in 30 days…
money heaven is where my stock losses go
They burn it and give you digital credit if you turn it in. If you keep it you can store it with your confederate dollars. It will not be legal tender and probably even illegal to have it.
Honest question: Does CBDC make CASH – irrelevant, obsolete, *illegal*… or what?
You prompted me to mentally picture a street drug deal going down with no cash.
You had better believe that the government will facilitate drug deals, prostitution and gambling. After all, the deep state actors are the biggest mafia in the world.
Exactly.
“CBDC guidelines allows for discretionary spending within certain limitations for specific personal categories that will be posted as code “000” subject to audit depending on WHO YOU ARE”.
1984 meet 2025
Get a ticket for some minor offense, go to court and get sentenced to pay off the fine by working at the state run house of prostitution. The velvet mafia will love the access.
Yes, they need to find a way for the IC to operate. Lugging around gold coins is going to be a problem. Maybe they will go to diamonds.
Drugs, prostitution and gambling can all be bought using food stamps today. Black market transactions for CBDC will work the same.
give me my goodies today and I will gladly repay you next Tuesday…
illegal
The added plus to the government controlled digital coin will be that each and every transaction will be known and taxable. Unintended consequences will abound.
Thank you so much for this explanation.
Also, that last photo speaks volumes!
Wow, this a lot to digest; have to create an entirely new way of thinking.
“Sellers of goods (or information) can have their ids banned from receiving digital dollars”
Wow, this is the part that hit home for me.
me too.
Hence, a tremendous demand for false identities,…which is why I am so tempted to go to the mexican border, cross 50-100′ in and turn around.
Get an I.D. Now, as an appearance ticket, use THAT to get drivers licence, voter registration, SS card, etc.
Cause in a couple of years or sooner, it might be really handy to have?
I don’t understand in the example, the guy cannot buy the Rolex with his chips but he can buy a motorcycle and then exchange it for the Rolex, why couldn’t he just buy the Rolex the same way he bought the motorcycle?
No personal/private exchange of money.
Because the guy selling you the Rolex can not use the poker chips that have your thumb print on them because his thumb print is different than yours. He can’t go to the teller and turn the chips into cash like he could before when there was no thumb print.
People may be able to exchange goods between one another, like in an underground economy. Will be tricky or impossible, if one of the items has to be licensed or registered.
Given the state of the culture, I envision licenses, registration, insurance, all that stuff, breaking down. Even now, where I live, plenty of the locals drive without current registration or even plates. I see vast swaths of rural America that don’t interface with any population centers simply opting out of a lot of society’s norms and daring any enforcers to do anything about it.
We remember how the LEO chain of command works and who it took a knee to when the Communist mercenaries ran amok, attacking and killing citizens and burning cities and the countryside and who was threatened or killed when taking them on. We remember. 🙂
The “Great Reset” that is supposed to include “the Great Taking” may instead involve “the Great Cleaving” and much like prohibition, they may succeed in turning a lawful populace into a criminal populace…again.
I think everyone will have a digital account called a blockchain. You would make a digital transfer from your blockchain to someone else’s. Thereby there is a permanent electronic record of the transaction. If your friend doesn’t have a government digital account you can’t give him any money. Use silver or gold coins or crypto if they haven’t been made illegal. But of course they will.
Guy #1 can buy the Rolex theoretically. But guy #2 who “sells” the Rolex couldn’t spend the digital dollars he theoretically receives because guy #2 is not guy#1 and doesn’t have guy#1’s “fingerprints”.
Therefore, there would be no sale because guy #2 knowing this, would not sell guy #1 the Rolex because he would be left with no payment for it.
The Rolex was a knockoff any way, so the government saved Guy #1 5,000 Biden Bucks.
So basically they will control everything we do, everything we eat, and everything we buy. Oh, and if you are a dissident they cut you off and starve you and your family, or if an illegal alien (the new super citizen) needs healthcare over a citizen deemed no longer “productive to society,” guess where that healthcare goes first. When you are too old to work you are now Boxer the Soviet plow horse on Orwell’s Animal Farm and sent to the glue factory. Sounds like slavery to me. How can this insanity possibly pass constitutional muster? Oh, CONgress will pass it with flying colors. Who wants to live in a dystopian nightmare world like this? This is guaranteed serfdom from cradle to grave.
This practically guarantees a civil war. Them vs Us. It’s why they are so desperate to remove our guns and ban ammo.
Any politician who facilitates this transition will have a target on their backs. They will instantly become the enemy.
If Trump is “allowed” to win and actually take office it MIGHT postpone this tyranny but unless America has a Come To Jesus moment then it’ll eventually happen once he leaves office. Who else is there who will fight for the citizens? Everyone else is compromised or willingly a part of the evil system in DC already. I think we may have a 4 year reprieve and then after that all bets are off.
“Any politician who facilitates this transition will have a target on their backs. They will instantly become the enemy.”
They should already have targets after all the chicanery they’ve done with billions to Ukraine and the recently gross budget deal.
Mike Johnson, I’m thinking of you.
There is a whole army, now standing right behind PDJT, and willing to fight for the citisens;
From Kari Lake to Tina Paters, Cara Castronuevo to Eric Schmidt ,…and the list goes on,….
You could move to New Hampshire … oh wait!
Ultimately, a dollar-based US-Central Bank Digital Currency, ie a “digital dollar,” is about control. – Sundance
There are some things my feeble old mind can’t comprehend and this is one of them. But I trust Sundance and believe this “digital dollar” will give our Federal government more control and I’m against that!!! Our current Federal Government has more control than is allowed by our Constitution!!! The States have conceded their Constitutional powers to the Feds in exchange for Federal dollars! Money changes everything!!! JMO. Godspeed Sundance!!!
Remember how in Minority report, as Tom Cruise walked passed the store windows, the windows created ads specific to his character?
Well these personal digital dollars will be imprinted with your “social credit score” or your worth-to-the-government DNA, so so speak.
When you want to buy a gun, or an SUV, your imprinted personalized dollars will not work to buy those items. Those same personalized digital dollars will allow you to buy kale by the bushel full.
But your next door neighbor routinely buys luxury goods with his personalized digital dollars. So the data isn’t tied to your account, or your name but to your dollars. Maybe it would work on a % basis. Certain types of money coming from your job, or social security, can only go to purchase certain items.
So I guess there is a small comparison to EBT cards that, in the past, use to preclude purchases of certain things like CBD – although not so much anymore.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. 🙂
Identity theft will take on a new and far more sinister tone.
Yup, if they use finger prints, cut off fingers.
Retinal scans, scoop out their eyeball.
Subdermal implants?Get out a scalpel.
And unless they can resolve this concern, ain’t nobody gonna want THAT kind of security!
There are places that don’t take credit cards right now. There are also places that take cards but charge you more.
What are our alternatives? Cash, Check, pay the fee, or another store. If a place only allows one method of payment they will not survive. I don’t see how all stores or transactions will suddenly be restricted to diggies without major disruption. People will only buy necessities and the markets will crash.
Throughout history there have been many instances of free market response to an overbearing controlling bureaucracy. Bitcoin is one, alternative currencies and barter tokens are another. Globalists who are pushing this are too stupid to look at history and believe that given another try, communism will work.
Nope.
While they will certainly need to come up with another name for it (a committee is soliciting/vetting suggestions right now!) whenever Tyranists have attempted to exert such control “BLACK markets” (see what I mean, so inherently rasssccciist!) spring up, spontaneously.
AMMO is such an inherently logical alternative currency, to fill the gap inherent in bartering.
The states powers were taken away by the 17th Amendment to the Constitution. They didn’t “concede it” the folks living at the time voted to remove control of the Senate from the states and hand it over to the individual voters (popular vote) like the House. How do you like the way your Senators are conducting your business and running your country?
CBDC
Corrupt
Bank
Digital
Control
My biggest concern with CBDC is forced vaccination compliance. Not vaxxed? Then no money for you!
….not just what’s forced on you, but what’s denied you…..if disapproved, you won’t be filling your prescriptions.
Decades ago in a personal conversation with friends about the impact of “the mark”, a young woman who finally “got it” protested vehemently and somewhat hysterically, “But if someone can’t purchase their prescriptions and they need insulin or other things, they could DIE!”
Why, yes. That’s correct, young woman. Now you understand.
Did you notice a couple of years ago when those who refused the shots were denied heart or lung transplants? The concept and the practice is not new.
This is not complicated. What’s difficult is overcoming the fight-or-flight instinct that says, “This can’t happen.” The efforts to evade and avoid will not be productive.
Understanding what’s happening will not prevent what’s happening, any more than understanding and despising the FDA stopped them from lying and imposing deceptively developed procedures and practices.
Also, its not control thru on/of, but thru conditional up or down.
And take the shot/turn in your gun/comply, and all is fine,…until the next time!
The option is to grow vegetables, hunt, raise animals for food.
But, how will you get new seeds,fertilizer, ammo, fishing lures, etc…..
There will be an underground black market for things. And it will be illegal at some point to even barter.
Remember during “COVID” how buying seeds was illegal in Michigan? Hopefully if it really does get that bad, some States like Texas and Florida might try to secede. But will the Feds/Pentagon send in troops to force compliance? Fun times ahead!
Auh, I think I remember reading about a group of states thinking they could secede from the “Union” based on the idea that they had formed the union. As I remember that story it didn’t turn out well for them.
Good point. What do you need? I have a bit of a general store here. I’ve started stocking popular calibers that I don’t use, well, not to sell but to supply allies who do need them during the coming war. For free. Why? Because I hate Communists. 🙂
This example illustrates one tiny corner of the breadth of the survival community out there and the preparations which have been going on for decades, generations in some cases. Another bit of good news is we have at least some of the 20+ million military veterans among those ranks and percentage of them not only know how to survive harsh conditions, they have combat experience and are trained in military tactics.
Once things go sideways, places like this (CTH) will likely be gone or a significant amount of the population here will be cut off so I’d plan on that and have alternate communications channels in place.
Of course this could all be fear mongering and voter suppression during an election year and nothing will actually happen. Hope for the best and plan for the rest 🙂
See johns comment, but also; grow HERITAGE plants, and save seeds from one planting, for next.
Raise fish (aquaponics) and compost to make your own fertiliser, reload and make your own black powder, make your own jures, etc.
And learn the horribly high price we have been paying, for the illusions of Convenience/Efficiency, Safety/Security, and Prosperity.
And as you do, you realise it was NOT More Convenient or Efficient, Safe or Secure, and did not really make you more Prosperous; it was all an ILLUSION!
That is very simplistic. You will not be allowed to purchase seeds, water, fertilizer, ammo, guns, fuel, electricity/gas/propane for your home, insurance for your vehicles, medicine for your family, and more.
They will deny you anything and everything until you comply. Your kid needs surgery? Let’s see if you are in compliance with the rules.
You forgot pitchforks and torches in your banned goods.
Its amasing the things most people THINK they are “not allowed” to do right now, that they actually are not prohibited from doing…
For instance, how many know they can legally buy “Dr.s Rx only” meds, without a Drs Rx.?
How many believe, since passage of Obummercare, that they MUST have “health Insurance” and that you can not get healthcare, without it?
Surgery? Covid has given us a whole host of Drs and Nurses that walkedaway or were driven out of “the medical profession” because they refused to play along.
yep, my wealthy, redneck cardiologist, with an entire hospital wing bearing his family name, said screw it and went concierge- at age 73 I’ve got nothing better to spend my money on then my health on so I stayed with him.
That and so much more. I imagine they can/ will go so far to place restrictions on those who vote the wrong way (according to them). A sure fire way to maintain their control.
I’m assuming that digital dollars can also be withheld from users who get caught doing noncompliant things. Buy that motorcycle in the analogy above to trade for the Rolex, have someone report that, and next month you may find yourself unable to pay your mortgage because those $5,000 digidollars were withheld as punishment.
The US gov is trying to convince us that what looks like a duck, sounds like a duck, and acts like a duck isn’t, in fact, a cobra. Too many people expecting soft feathers and tasty eggs are going to get bitten instead.
Control. This is what it really is all about. Scary *hit for sure. This explanation you give here really does help me understand a lot more than I already did. I was already against this concept but now I will take this info and help spread the word as to why we must not allow this to ever become the new norm.
Yes, it cleared the fog up for me also. I knew it was bad but didn’t see the ramifications.
In a nutshell – it can be manipulated and turned “off”. What then when our individual human identities are erased from the planet? The Powers That Be choose who lives or dies, or trades, or gets treatment, or doesn’t and we all become more enslaved than we already are.
This is not the future I want for our children.
Coinbase must face US securities regulator’s lawsuit
In the few cases that have gone to court, judges have mostly agreed with the SEC that the crypto assets at issue were securities, which unlike assets such as commodities are strictly regulated, must be registered with the SEC by their issuer and require detailed disclosures to inform investors of potential risks.

Thank you, Sundance! Great explanation that helped clear up a few fuzzy areas for me!!
Sundance knows his audience, and writes to his audience. Thank you, Sundance, for knowing us so well and giving us information which you make understandable in your writings. You have a great spiritual gift of giving knowledge in addition to being taught correct discourse by some fabulous English teachers.
Welp, I didn’t know all about the differences in IPhones, etc. I did know they are on a different system and if your phone is not set to the correct system, you cannot use your phone abroad. And I also know that people abroad do not pay half the money for phones OR service. Same with drugs. America pays for the research upfront for all the drugs, it seems. The rest of the world just pay for the drug.
We are such saps to think our politicians were honest when hired (elected) and stay honest during their terms.
Americans are funding their socialism, and have been for a very long time. Someone has to pay for the products that other countries enjoy for “free.”We pay for everything.
It won’t be pretty for socialists after they kneecap America’s middle class workers.
I see it more clearly now. Thank you! So how do we stop it? Really stop it?
How do we stop it? We extricate ourselves from their matrix. It’s about time we did that. Their matrix sucks anyway.
It may require a Constitutional Amendment outlawing its use in the US. What effect that would have ultimately if the rest of the world were digital? TBD! Too tough a problem for my old mind to grasp except I know it would not be good.
Oh, if such a concept as a CBDC been around at our founding it would have been fodder for yet another disagreement between Hamilton (strong central government) and Madison (federalist/states rights). No doubt in my mind banning it would have been the second or third Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
In Sundance’s map, the rest of the world is not going CBDC, only the “yellow countries” (UK, Canada, Australia, NZ, USA, EU countries, Japan (not sure about Japan).
China may have their own iteration of CBDC or maybe only for transactions with USA.
Good Morning and peace to all. Romans 12:21 Be not overcome of evil,
but overcome evil with good.
Thank you Sundance for your unwavering patience. CBDC is evil. I believe truth is here and
is overwhelming for many thus comprehension is on overload. Remember run towards your
Country not away from her. Choice… be controlled or be FREE we are the cavalry.
OK, so how do we protect ourselves/ avoid being part of this?
Before it became a tourist destination and commercial enterprise, examine the history of the Amish. I’ll bet there are some clues there.
Ally oneself with like minded people, form a community, work together for the common good and deal with invaders like our ancestors did.
There will always be humans who exemplify greed, avarice and mendacity. Either navigate them or terminate them as necessary. Prior, we ceded some of our liberty and labor to a body called government to handle security and keep the evil among us in check. The government has become that evil so we can’t count on it any more so withdraw our consent, support and obedience and do things according to our own moral code.
Remember, it’s not some faceless machine, rather a large population of individual humans making choices which attack our freedom and liberty. They chose that path. Choices have consequences. 🙂
There are exactly two [fatal …] problems with this idea:
(1) “It’s digital computer software. What could possibly go wrong?” 🤡
(2) That “the West” will continue to [fantasize that it can] be “the world’s [of course …] dominant economy, capable of isolating itself, yet magically continuing to prosper.
At this point, the word is: “magically.” I think that “the West” is running out of magic.
Because: on this very-magical planet on which we all now find ourselves, “we are a grand HUMAN community.” But there are those among us who don’t want to accept the word, “community.”
They very-simply expect to live off the fat of the land, and indeed they have persuaded themselves that they are entitled to it. “They have ‘arrived,’” and in, their never-acknowledged insecurity, they now MUST rub your face in it.
They have created places like “Washington, DC” which are entirely filled with sycophants. Where “a million dollars” is something that you initial at any restaurant in town, barely giving it a second thought.
Now, crack open your “history books,” and dare(!) to turn to their most blood-soaked pages. “People exactly like these” are always front-and-center. 💀
Creation of a CBDC is likely to encourage off-book barter and ‘black-market’ transactions. They will require some kind of independent currency. Maybe digital, but maybe also physical. I would suggest small silver coins, maybe as small as ¼ or ⅛ ounce. These, like gold, will have real value independent of any bank.
But they will be worthless for purchasing anything controlled by the government such as housing, utilities, food, medical, etc.
Don’t put all of your eggs in one Prescious Metal basket.
AMMO, beyond your need, along with dispensers, to use as a currency to exchange, good, reliable tools and skills, grown food, etc.
Barter for goods and services goes only so far. Money was developed for a reason: versatility. You need underwear? You have vegetables. The thrift store owner has plenty of vegetables. He needs ammo. You have none, but give him silver; he trades the silver for what he needs. CBDC means we start our own economies, with our own money.
don’t make it so hard – everyone needs a couple bags of junk silver, dimes and quarters will be used most but halves and silver dollars have there place. Easily recognizable.
So, if we use covid behavior as an example for compliance, is it a stretch to say the sheeple will just accept this Klaus Schwab Dr. Evil digital slavery? Will they have no choice? Will the dollar collapse overnight and the coup regime tell us they will give us .20 cents on our old dollars, take it or leave it so we have no choice but to accept “their” new currency? What can we do to stop it? Or, is it possible to set up (or just demand to keep existing?) a separate banking system like what we have now based on US paper currency, or something similar backed by PM? Would not using US legal tender (paper) still be legal or will US legal tender be outlawed? I like the idea of PM/commodity backed currency as it can’t be manipulated as easily, especially with auditing. Let’s see if SD can present some solutions. I want to know the doom and gloom but it would be nice to also counter the doom and gloom with some solutions before it’s too late. I don’t know, the corrupt system is so geared against freedom and the constitution it maybe too late. Maybe Trump was our last hurrah.
Sundance has pointed out the huge amount of physical presence Blackrock has in this White House combined with its huge amounts of campaign contributions to selected candidates and officers already elected. Additionally, we’ve learned that almost half of the world’s money is in the hands of Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street- too big to fail. Just as “voting machines” were sold as accurate, swift, convenient, so too, CBDC is being cloaked in identical clothes. How do we spread the word fast! If just in one 24 hour new cycle the cause and effect would be discussed as much as Sir Walter Scott Key bridge collapsing! And tomorrow news will return to poll numbers and illegal immigration. Central Banking Digital Currency’ s pros & cons are silenced. Only SWIFT”S headline yesterday. Sadly,there are folks out there who will think Taylor Swift?
It’s not so much about “spreading the word” as it is about taking your own stand. Soapboxes can only take us so far.
We must set the example for other people to follow. We must lead by example.
So forget about “them.”What are WE doing about this? How do WE plan to avoid the mark of the beast?
I think they may have to do it quickly-like the way they did the Covid lockdown back in March 15-18, 2020. If they don’t do it quickly, they will have a run on the banks, the grocery stores, stocks and bonds, etc.
Remember the empty shelves of toilet paper?
Digital CBDC is presently the greatest restriction on freedom ever created by Government or mankind. As Sundance says, you can and will be restricted from buying anything that “others” decide you cannot or should not have. There will be ways around this but the key will be can you exchange the CBDC immediately on issuance (say a Social Security monthly deposit) to silver or gold – Again, “they” will be able to block this transaction immediately. The restrictions on your use of money/CBDC are infinite. If CBDC implements in any form – We the people are well and truly fked. Parden my french.
You get the picture!
When Tucker went to Brazil, he showed exchanging Brazillian money for American $, asap and it was obvious the Gummint could not stop it.
They will control healthcare, food, energy, housing, employment, transportation. Inflation, salary and prices can be adjusted per individual at the click of a mouse or whim of an AI algorithm.
Hollywood of course foreshadowed this – 2011 “In Time” with Justin Timberlake. Watch on youtube or you favorite streaming channel.
One thing one can do regarding cell phones is to stop purchasing Apple and Google (Android) products. It’s not impossible.
Check out Sunbeam Wireless. I’ve had the Orchid phone for 2+ years and it works great. Private, no tracking.
They have expanded their phones from the original 3 to now 16 phones.
The only Google product they have is Waze navigation on some phones, but you can easily just not get one of those models.
It does require a lifestyle change because in order to be private, none of the models has a browser or does email.
That is a nice thought but they will just force Sunbeam to get with the program or put them out of business. They will not let any of us escape their nets.
The Mennonite phone 🙂 It looks like a good choice to start “disconnect” – uses Android but claims to run no Google services. I am not sure how they can run Waze without some implementation of them though.
https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/sunbeam-f1
For those interested in getting a bit more technical, there is open source de-googled android smartphone that has re-implemented most Google services. Apps are loaded through their appstore and come with privacy ratings. I run on WiFi.

One can also try the grey man solution, appearing to play the game but operating an adhoc network of essential communication.
While I love reading this forum and have great respect and admiration for the wisdom shared here, it’s not essential communication. As an experiment, try ignoring it for a week. Look at real life and see what impact that has.
Alternate coms for me are radio and packet wireless and SSTV (slow scan tele vision), essentially images encoded into radio transmissions. Anyone who participates in amateur radio has probably dabbled in stuff like that. Cell phones are a consumer/user friendly version using the latest technology and a huge infrastructure.
This post could easily be encoded and transmitting as text over radio waves. ACARS, Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System, operates in this manner in transport and other aircraft.
Learning stops when we’re dead, presuming we want to learn. Free will 🙂
Just a couple of weeks ago I have had to ignore the internet for about a week due to surgery. There was no withdrawal associated with that event. I guess I am not as addicted as I thought I was.
Good test. Hope your recovery goes well 🙂
“Healthcare” is overrated, anyway. They are killing us with their “healthcare.” Food can also be grown organically and bartered for other goods and services. Their “food” is poison to begin with, just like their pharmaceuticals. Avoid them!
Energy? This is why EVs are so important to them: control. We must figure out how to power our lives without need of their energy grid. Wood burning stoves. Solar energy.
Housing and employment are discriminating choices. Choose wisely. For example, if your employer demands poison death shots, resist. Don’t give an inch. Same with transportation choices. We don’t need what they are selling.
Inflation, salary and prices can also be cleaved according to our own trading and bartering practices. We will not live in their world, but in our very own parallel economy.
Very good, Judith.
Start by adjusting your own value system; its only a ‘painful sacrifice’ if you VIEW it that way.
Move steadily away from the grid and the cord, and you find life is less stressful, and far healthier.
Kind of scarry if you factor in AI into the “solution”!
The US is hooped. Other than civil revolt or en masse strikes and boycotts, I see no way of reversing the upcoming disaster. Voting out of this mess is not an option. I would bet my last dollar that the Democrats, deep state and other unfriendlies are working at warp speed right now to steal the 2024 election.
As Lara Logan recently said, Donald Trump is a lifeline. If even allowed to be elected President, he has only a 4 year term. This is not long enough to reverse course and implement permanent change.
People better wake up as the window to avert hell is closing quickly.
How do we use the current momentum, presuming PDJT beats the cheat and they actually certify the electors? I think that would be an excellent discussion topic. You’re right, the momentum needs to survive PDJT and move forward. That’s up to us.
Sundance, where is the leader to organize us into action against the CBDC effort? I see this as the inflection point of the globalist control effort. There are other things at play, climate control, pandemic treaty, etc. but this is the ring through the masses noses.
So, the little mom-and-pop businesses that use cash, like small farms that sell produce in little roadside stands, or just from their homes to neighbors, etc, are out of business? Then there are these little gum/candy vending machines that use coins?
Re: the vending machines. They will just be re-tooled so that your barcode/fingerprint will be used. Just wave your cell phone in front of it and it will deduct the amount from your account.
Mom and Pop will HAVE to switch to CBDC in order to continue to do business. Cash will be worthless. No bank will take it.
This way our government will be able to tax all of the income that goes around this country in cash form. Think of how much more they can send to Ukraine to Save Democracy with all of the money they confiscate from our underground cash society.
I figured that but there are tons of vending machines of all sorts in this country which is going to be expensive, and probably put many people out of business!
But they don’t care about the people!
Rural America could adopt the Amish plan, modified version. Why? Because it’s possible to produce so many of the essentials from what is already on hand and in work.
Forex, as a very simplified version, I have loads of blackberry vines growing along the creek. Their berries go to the birds or spoil. I eat very few of them. Now, my neighbor has scavenger chickens who lay eggs. Eggs are a great protein source. I trade some berries, or some preserves I make from my stock of sugar, lemon and berries, heated in the canning cooker over a wood fire (love the forest!) for a steady supply of eggs, nothing greedy, just a few a week. Work it out.
I’ve already done this, as example, trading my skills in construction and agriculture for repurposing the same neighbor’s chicken coop to provide her better production, and in return I got use of her garbage can when I needed it and a steady supply of eggs. In fact, I haven’t had garbage service myself since Covid started. It’s either burned, composted or traded with someone who does have service. I generate about one small kitchen bag of actual nasty stuff and a couple cubic feet of crushed cans a month. 🙂
Moving to someplace in the Grey zone like Costa Rica, may not be an unthinkable option.
CBDC is the wet dream of the Deep State. We can prevent this from happening. We just need the WILL!
.
We operate in a physical world — with our minds making decisions about how to act and our hearts giving us emotions as to why we did so.
If the three (physical, mental, emotional) are not in harmony, there is dissension within one’s self.
The government is trying to MAKE us all harmonious, even if that is not the way you personally feel.
We are all created equal (i.e., through the male/female mating process) but after that — to keep with the casino analogy — all bets are off.
That is unmanageable to the pit bosses, hence the need for interference.
People who function in an emotional state may find this type of control of their life system comforting (digital).
People who have an independent mind want to correlate their efforts to a particular value (capitalization).
People who exist in a day to day survival mode physically have no time to think about anything but that (bartering).
That our overlords want to put all three groups into the same box is so very shortsighted.
What is wrong with having three systems of mutual existence — interacting, able to permeate amongst each other, capable of interchanging depending upon one’s particular circumstance at any particular time — such that harmony can be effectuated in our society?
IOW, what the heck is wrong with diversity in this manner . . .?
This new press release from the US Treasury department is a reminder of the controls being implemented on small mom-and-pop businesses through registering all beneficial ownership details in every non-publicly traded business in the country under the guise of protecting against money laundering, the agency even got an award for implementing its program;
https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/jy2208
With such a controlling system of CBDC’s it seems like it will only be a matter of time when the definition of money laundering will be revised, similar to revising the definition of vaccines, to cover all transactions outside a CBDC system.
Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
15
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
16
Joshua 24:15
A relative (by marriage) is known to have several coffee cans filled with cash buried in the dirt floor of his garage (shed).
Of course the value of doing this is entirely dependent on how much longer we’ll actually be able to use Real Cash to buy or rent stuff. It’s already a problem in some ways. One can’t do everything with cash. For some things we’re pretty much forced to go digital.
And it’s only gonna get worse, and worse, and worse.
Mark of the Beast, in the long run.
Depending on the amount, I’d suggest turning the cash, before things go sideways, into various denominations of minted silver and gold coins, the intrinsic useful value of which will still remain and does have historical significance and people all over the world, even in poor countries, know about it.
My uncle, who lived like a hobo, apparently liked to stash his cash in his box spring under the mattress. His daughter found the stash after he died at home back in the 80’s. She didn’t say how much exactly but apparently it was substantial as was his wealth we later found out. Frugal, hobo looking guy to the end. The Depression affected a lot of people that way.
With the current inflation rate, (30%?) respectfully stockpiling cash is,stupid.
Stick $100 in that can, on Jan 1, and the following Dec. its only “worth” $70!
Better to invest in something that will retain its value, or appreciate at least enough to keep up with inflation.
Maybe SOME PM, but most of mine is in food and semi-pm, brass, lead and steel.
Cigarettes? Or is that too WWII?
1/2 pints and xanax = great trade bait
Tobacco, alcohol, the drinking kind, spices, chocolate, medicines, food items, etc.
I’m always cautious about ammo because IMO the fewer people outside one’s own close circle that know of it, the better. Why? Because what one is trading can be easily use to kill one.
My ammo will only go to specific allies and at no cost to them. Why? To support the war effort. We need strong bodies and young eyes on the glass. I’m neither. I can help though.
And this lovely system will start with no visible fees, then there will be a little crisis and a small percentage of every transaction will be levied for the emergency. Then the rate will climb inexorably. Next the government will discover the beauty of issuing reverse fees to designated groups as “reparations”, paid for by fee surcharges to “the rich”. Only government approved purchases can be made, and funds given only to government-approved recipients. The end game is equity and equality of results — all will be impoverished and dependent on bureaucrats, except of course the governing elite who will be exempt from the system. 1984, we are knocking at your door.
The possibilities for destroying our lives are endless!! There will be all kinds of “emergencies” and “crises” for why they need to keep tightening the nooses around our necks. My guess is that most people will welcome the “solution” to the crises.
Bartering will be the only way around it but only certain items can be “practically” bartered. Precious metals will become the main bartering means of payment when wanted items aren’t available to pay, but you will not be able to deposit your PM into a digital account. Most likely it will become illegal to own Precious metals. The only way to truly fight this is through voting, and if that fails, through a civil war or revolution! Hopefully, Jesus will return and clear the deck of evil!!
I hope the county can find the budget to hire more than the two dozen deputies it currently has to patrol patriots over 5,000 square miles because they’ll need them and the attrition rate will be horrible 🙂
I think garage sales will be gone with CBDC. Also it’s programmed. If your currency is programmed to work within a 50 mile radius of your house and you want to buy something in person at mile 51 you’re screwed. Who will you contact for an override – – there isn’t anyone but a chat bot. They will be balancing your checkbook since they’ll know your income and what you purchase. I don’t think people understand how everything you do will be kept track of centrally. Sure your credit card lists purchases, checking accounts linked to utilities for bill payment but all of this isn’t compiled into a central file to keep track of you. Someone can explain this better – you know what I mean.
What about saving? Will you be allowed to save or will they put a limit on this?
Saving? For what?
I have a very small portfolio in stocks, but about half of it is in Coinbase (COIN), which is a clearinghouse for crypto exchanges.
Anyone have ideas on how outlawing crypto currencies would affect COIN?
TIA…
Look at illegal drugs as an example. Or illegal guns. How are they affected? It depends on enforcement and the deterrent effect of that. How many motorists ignored double nickel over the decades? Ultimately, mass non-compliance morphed into the old speed limits, and even higher ones, coming back.
If your crytpo asset is in a non-network wallet you personally control, then it would boil down to who you do business with and your comfort with doing something some pinhead said was ‘illegal’. Free will 🙂
Dunes2021- Serious question for you from me .
This “non-network wallet you personally control”, is it on the internet? Can’t they stop this, by cutting off your WiFi and internet access? Are you on the power grid? Can’t they cut that off?
Even if you make an exchange with someone you do business with, wouldn’t they be precluded from monetizing that crypto asset except among fellow travelers? What would this do to the popularity of this market?
I am trying to visualize this.
The crypto folks can likely explain it better but cold wallets and NFC/bluetooth between those wallets in near contact is the best I can come up with. Anything which avoids connection to a communications network. Are wallets loaded on things other than phones? IDK.
My understanding of the details is rudimentary at best. In any event, just like any other ad-hoc transaction, trust is important.
People often mention PM’s like gold, silver and platinum. Well, there’s trust involved there too, and promoting trust is why I’ll invest in testing and fractioning equipment if going that route, to promote trust and protect myself as well. I just had one chunk of gold alloy out of my mouth last week (came loose) and had to prep it to re-cement it and was amazed at how such a thin piece of gold could survive for 20 years practically without wear, the way I beat up teeth.
Anyway, I’d be interested in answers to your questions. I’m learning here too.
People are heavily invested in crypto currencies.
They will be the first upset. Really upset.
Not many understand what is happening behind the scenes, or what is coming. The dumbing-down of the populace and removing most all from faith in God is complete. Lord, please have mercy on us, those who believe in You.
And the government can put “expiry” on your CBDC, such that your currency just disappears if not used by the imposed deadline. All of this is frightening #digitalslave
Kinda like Amazon rewards and airline miles. Use ’em or lose ’em.
If you haven’t read the PDF or watched “The Great Taking” video on YouTube, you are missing out on how this was all pre-planned for at least a decade. Well worth watching and is better than reading the lengthy PDF.
This information in this video is wild! Thank God for brilliant minds such as this man. After watching this video I no longer feel like I am in a vaccum, there is now something to hold on to in this wild ride of finances and digitaly-isms.
If you have not seen the video, or read the book, I urge you and implore you to do so, asap. God is Great.
Knowledge brings Freedom!
One part left out about using your cbdc is the food rationing, if you try to buy more than you are allowed of a certain product this month your transaction will be denied. They can set any limits they want on how and what you are allowed to purchase.
If comes true I could see the first hit being those like myself who get ‘assistance’. Only government approved food would be available for purchase depending on one’s social credit score and category of citizen, kind of like now items I might otherwise consume, forex a six pack of beer, are disallowed. They’ve already decided, to a certain degree, what ‘food and beverage’ are. They’ll expand that, using SNAP as a test bed, then go wide.
That’s why you need to start growing your own food where you can.
“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.”
So how will the elites get around these restrictions? They surely won’t want to comply with restrictions on purchasing expensive homes and luxury items.
Or will there be “exemptions” for those with status?
Their social credit score is ‘trusted’ so they get to buy guns. It’s all arbitrary and largely invisible.
We see some of it now when Youtube deplatforms or suspends content creators and cuts off their income with the push of a button or an automatic algorithm action. No reason, no contact, little recourse outside of hoping if one makes enough noise a human might reverse it.
One of our live streamers who was instrumental in exposing the border activity, interviewing people in Spanish on the Mexico side some of the time, was deplatformed from Youtube a month ago. Poof, years of videos gone. All his stuff from the three convoys gone.
See how it works?
Hey Ronna,
Haven’t you heard the saying…”back the strong horse,”?
Maybe next time.
She had to have suspected that this was coming…
Maybe she was blindsided.
Learn to code, Ronna.
Sorry, meant to post on the other thread.
Think of it like this:
I use my digital dollar to get a car wash. The car wash is operated by a crook who does all sorts of illegal stuff. My traceable dollar gets mixed up in crime and my dollar can be traced directly to me. So will my name show up in criminal charge filing like Prince Harry who had a picture taken with Combs? You bet. A computer will be able to print out the history of every dollar you have ever had; before and after you have the dollar.
Resist the devil. Resist evil.
The free market will cease to exist, even in it’s current adulterated form.
Those MAGA vendors with the shirts, and swag…outta luck.
Maybe it will apply to housing so that only people of color will be able to live in certain swanky highly subsidized housing, and neighborhoods.
What if house insurance companies won’t take your personal digital dollars because of who you are – all encoded in the digital dollars.
Work for Smith & Wesson? – Paid with digital dollars that encodes your employer’s social credit score??
“Your money’s no good here,” will communicate your dollars when you step up to purchase groceries.
