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.
I have a much better understanding of what might lie ahead. Will Trump be able to stop it???
Trump no! The Christ yes!
🙏 👆
Christ and Christ alone!
I agree and disagree – I think that is the ultimate victory but I also think that the timing of it is partly on us. If we (we being huge majority of folks turning back to God in total submission) then I think we can gain reprieve from the timeline of this future evil.
I have thought about this a lot. Prayer is real and it just seems we are having a bell rung to awaken us. How do we respond to the bell.
do we move closer to God as a society or does society allow evil to splinter us from God so that he allows the result of it to continue to manifest.
Digital is upon us. It has been in the works for decades. Watch “The Great Taking.” Someone made the comment, “the Christ.” This is who will stop this. Have joy in your heart knowing that Jesus is the only answer to any of this.
With respect… hasn’t done anything to stop all the crap happening over the last 2000+ so far. Reality check!
God/Jesus can stop this any time He wants, but He permits men to have the freedom to make evil choices, thus putting their eternal souls in peril.
Salvation and damnation have always been and always will be, a matter of personal choice. If God simply were to eradicate the possibility of choosing evil, then salvation would be meaningless.
Pretty much what Sturm said – God does not interfere with man’s free will.
The sovereignty of man….
May I say to Sturmudgeon and Back to Basics, you might want to consider what the BIBLE says on your comments.
2ooo years ago a pure and innocent Christ gave himself and was murdered by us to pay for the sins of those whom HE loves.
I would not call that nothing.
And further, for those whom HE has chosen, there is NOTHING we can do to win a ticket to Heaven, or so bad that we could be separated from HIM.
I do not act on my dark desires because I do not want to grieve my LORD.
But whether we go to Glory or not, is GOD’s will alone. Even the gift of faith comes to us from GOD, we would be lost if it were not for this gift.
We can do nothing to earn or cancel GOD’s love for us.
From a church marque:
“The Lord Jesus is the only one who can
build a bridge to Heaven
using two boards.”
The kindness of the Lord led me to turn from my sinful life and He has helped me build a new life for 30+ years. Jesus is my reality check. Life is not always easy, but God is always good. Blessings to you and yours.
There is no greater mission than this. We can conduct cultural autopsies all day long but it’s the changed heart that matters, surviving the hour of evil.
You do not have the Knowledge of how God has worked His will in the world for the last 10 seconds, much less the last 2000 years…..Jesus told us that, and He told us be prepared, and to maintain our faith.
If God had not done anything to stop all the crap up to this point — which is called having His hand of protection on a person/people/country — then the entire world would have been in utter depravity and wickedness from day one.
We would be living in hell and nothing else, since we — a world full of sinners — would be living without restraints and giving into the barbaric and hellish things our wicked flesh longs to do.
God has given this world His grace, but He will not always be so kind or loving.
You think things are bad now? Your reality check will come when the saints in the Lord Jesus are raptured and you remain to deal with what the earth looks like when all hell literally breaks lose.
I pray the Holy Spirit will draw you unto the Father through the Son, Jesus, the Christ.
How do you know what’s been stopped or not? We’re still here, aren’t we?
Our Constitution, unique in the world, affords “free will’ and our “Rights”are given by God. God indeed has given us free will to break His Laws or keep them. Why? Because there really is a Heaven and a Hell. Each individual chooses for Himself if life is eternal and what to believe and the God or gods they will align with.
No one is forced to be in Heaven for eternity. No one will be grumbling at God demanding; “Why did you make me live in Heaven?” Because we all have broken God’s Ways and Laws He has provided forgiveness for our ignorance and rebellion.
No one wants to live with family members who wreck our home or hate us. And so it is with God.
Each person has free will to decide what they will do on earth during their brief life. God wants us to love one another and the animals and all He’s made but He doesn’t force you to. You have free will.
This is why those seeking power but not God, wealth instead of generosity, are increasing our dependency on themselves, on people not God. They operate under free will. Unless we stop them. Now. If it’s not too late.
We’ve been warned and the Bible said what? “No one will be able to Buy, Sell or Trade without the mark of the Beast.”The example of trading Tokens, dollars and watches is an appropriate foretelling. And here it is in our lifetime.
What God has given us here in America is under attack by the God Haters who would be as kings over us. Why? Because we are guaranteed free will; protected by our Godly Constitution. Perhaps you will celebrate the Resurrection shortly when Christ was crowned King of kings. Globalists mock the true King with their Bunnies and Eggs, symbols of pagan fertility.
Why do They despise and attack Christians? Because they know He stands in their way of ruling earth. As in the unelected WEF. Free Will delays them so they invent new controls. Money isn’t in the Constitution so it’s the weapon of choice to rule by force.
It comes down to why are you/me/we here, don’t you think? You cannot say what God has stopped or let happen.
You can say with certainty that God flooded the world and killed everyone but eight humans and he killed everyone in Sodom&Gomorrah but four humans. You can say that for certain!
Lots of people think that the unforgivable sin is blaspheming the Holy Spirit, but I think denying there is a God and that Jesus Christ is his only begotten Son is the unforgivable sin. Think about it, you get to that point you are standing before God and He say you do not believe in Me. The person standing there say I do now because here you are God. He says to late, off you go to your ultimate reward! Why would God even want you there?
I say this with all do respect.
Yet we are told in Revelation that the beast will require a pledge of loyalty and the number of 666 to buy or sell. I believe we are watching prophecy unfold.
You can bet that they (inepticons in congress) are working to insure he cannot.
That attitude will guarantee the digital dollar comes.
No one is coming to save you.
So you’re the real prophet? Your perception of hope vs reality is strictly your own.
“Will Trump be able to stop it???”
Not alone
Michael Medved has written several books on the miracles God worked on behalf of America. Reading about how God has positioned America to overcome in the past is incredibly encouraging during times like this. Could it be that God still has His hand on this country? I pray He does…everyday. Part of the reason I came to the Treehouse years ago. Cheers!
Man has always found a way around control of goods/services and money, whether it be trading, bartering, black market underground goods, etc. Governments can try and implement the digital dollar currency all they want, but it ultimately won’t fly. Every Commie country has tried this type of control before (quotas on what can or cannot be purchased) and failed miserably. Just like Prohibition, where alcohol was prohibited, or the former USSR, where tangible goods became and usurped physical currency, when things are restricted and controlled, then “work arounds” pop up. It’s just human nature. Just my humble opinion…
How annoying to have to trade sequentially for what you really want. And who can you trust not to turn you in?
Ah, you remind me of the Carter days and the underground economy. Trust me, you’ll learn very fast who you can and cannot trust. It won’t be hard.
Covid was a great way to weed out who and who not to trust.
And there are still people wearing their facemasks.
Yes, of course! But there likely will be a price to pay when charged with those crimes… like maybe the non-compliant-one may lose CBDC “privileges”. When I was in the USSR, the teacher that ran the travel trip stated to our small adult group, “Americans aren’t well educated.” That, I do agree with and it’s taken decades to realize just how much I agree with his statement.
Well back in those days of the USSR, I remember Levi jeans as being hot ticket items for barter and trade. It was always suggested to those traveling there to purchase several pairs of Levis to exchange for whatever you’d need during your trip or to exchange for souvenirs such as the inlaid black laquer boxes, nesting dolls, etc.
And today, when visiting China, if staying with a “host” family, you’re told to bring things like vitamins, face creams, over the counter medications, to use to barter with or to “gift” the host family with as they don’t trust the “quality” controls of those items that are available to them in their own country.
Anyway, I digress, yes, bartering/trade is a pain in the rear, but my point is, even if they implement this program, ultimately it will fail, because, whether alcohol, illicit drugs, food, cigarettes, designer goods, services, whatever…people want what they want and will always find ways to obtain those things even when restricted or told “no”. All a program like this will do is increase the grey/black/underground markets. Organized crime will get involved and flourish. And bartering/trading will become the real currency.
This is why I have been screaming at the top of my lungs to become more self sufficient. Yes, you will still have to pay property tax, but you don’t have to pay utilities, if you have alternatives.
Growing your own food too, is very, very important. Learn to do without processed junk, and survive on what you can grow.
Medications, and most need them because they consume processed junk. Look for alternatives like a better diet, and then work from there.
I am lucky that I can trade my fruit and veg for honey, fish, meat, and milk, but if I tried harder, I should be providing all of that for myself. We need to become the new pioneers and throw off the robes of comfort. Comfort is what got us here.
We will be in a barter society for sure. Stock up.
Was having a similar discussion with my husband who has been studying the writings of Adam Smith. Turns out Karl Marx was inspired by Smith’s Wealth of Nations as he crafted his communist ideas. The great irony is that people turn to black market trading/capitalism even when controlled by socialist/communist governments. I had a brilliant Russian language teacher who helped us to see the desperate reality under Soviet communism. The suffering and loss of freedom in communist regimes is well documented if not well taught in our schools. She warned us (between lessons on verbs and nouns) that we should do all we can to protect our freedom. She was right. Thanks for your comments.
“Every Commie country has tried this type of control before (quotas on what can or cannot be purchased) and failed miserably.”
Seems to be working in China, or is that conspiracy theory?
It does not work in China. See my comments about what overseas travelers are suggested to bring with them to barter or “gifts” to hosts. And if you think the Chinese don’t have a vast and robust barter/trade/underground economy for everyday working people…well…I’m sorry you believe they survive only on the meager earnings they’re paid.
@Sundance – Thanks for the analysis! Now please tell us how best to position ourselves for this monolithic totalitarian government monitored future……

I understand the control aspect of digital currency is much greater than a random scoop out of a pile of money.
My issue is about whether populations will allow this to happen. The first store that tries to ban cash, or traditional credit cards will go under very quickly. The free market will not respond since the payment method is not free. Marketwise.
Lets say a popular coffee shop sells the idea of cheaper prices if you use digital. Some people will get the system and take advantage of it initially. As time goes by and the bureaucracy of the diggies is found to be controlling and not really cheaper, some other coffee shop will pop up saying “real lower prices and no big brother watching your coffee intake” .
The free markets will not allow a takeover by diggies. If government and companies try to ban regular transactions there will be a backlash. If a company doesn’t increase it’s revenue by using diggies, it will fail.
Remember when government got the bright idea to issue dollar coins back in eighties or so? Did you ever see any? Why not? The answer is because the financial system was not set up to make use of them. Machines had to change, cash drawers had to add slots, they were heavier than paper money, and they got confused with quarters too easily.
Does anyone really think the globalists are smart enough to prepare the market for diggies? No! They will try to push it through because that is what they do. Without a smart lead up to a changeover, it will fail unless laws simply demand it. And that won’t go well in America.
Lawsuit, after a fashion, has already begun – lawsuit against the U.S. Park Service for refusing to take cash for entry fee payment to visit the parks, the Park was insisting on debit or credit cards so is being sued for refusing to take legal tender, cash.
That ‘legal tender’ will no longer exist, you understand.
“The first store that tries to ban cash, or traditional credit cards will go under very quickly.”
I’m sure the government would find several ways around this. They could introduce the new system everywhere at once. Or they could tolerate some slack until it is implemented everywhere. They would not care much if a few early adopters go out of business.
Are they smart enough to prepare the market for digital currency? Maybe not. But they will not suffer … we will.
If you want to know the breadth of what is possible, think about the Soviet Union. It is probably a conceit to think we ordinary people here are smarter or stronger than they were there.
Read Katherine Austin Fitts- The Solari Report – for some solution material – good info
We are still here and they are not.
Better said than I did. Thanks.
“And that won’t go well in America.” Mike… I applaud your confidence, but too many ‘Red Lines’ have already been presented, and crossed, with no reaction other than words, and more words, and ‘strongly worded letters’… etc., etc.
all stores will be required to use the digital dollar.
Sorry if I sound like a smart a**, but Canada has $ and $2 coins. The U.K. has had the pound coin.
They have been in circulation for many years.
Cheers!
Sorry, Dekester, but I understand that this CBDC project includes the UK and Canada. The UK and Canada are have been in the SWIFT system as well.
In banking circles, the center of it all, the apex is the one square mile known as The City of London, where even the King or Queen has to ask permission to enter.
So was the penny. Got any?
Canada and the UK are not the powerful free market that America is. Sure we will see some usage of diggies but if the big corporate credit card lobbies have their way, no politician will touch this. Does everyone think credit card companies will just go along with government controlling their profits?
Interestingly, a number of our gas station chains here in NE Ohio advertise slightly cheaper gas prices for cash, vs. credit card.
We’ve had a new pizza chain open in our area, Jets, famous for square cut Detroit style pizza. Pretty good but they do not accept cash – Is that because the help can’t be trusted (Detroit doncha know) or management too lazy to make deposits – Don’t know and don’t care – got along without Jets before I met Jets, I’ll get along without them now.
Hmm, fragemall — thanks for the report. We have a Jets pizza here, but I don’t know if they accept cash or not. (I do like square cut pizza, so I’ll have to investigate.) I use my credit card a lot (for the cashback points and the convenience) so I need to look to see if more places are going to credit only.
Do you realize that once its here, it will go nowhere? NO ONE will be allowed to do anything cheaper, better, faster. You comply, or you die! That is the reality of it.
Let me know how you feel when you try to buy a steak with your CBDC’s, and the screen tells you, you already purchased one this month, and you must wait 100 days.
You’re 1,000% correct, Minnesota Mike.
Did you NOT LISTEN to what Sundance said? Just as the govt banned gold and silver by making laws banning gold and silver, they’ll ban cash and coin by passing laws that ban cash and coin.
You, me, and everybody else has NO SAY in the matter. AT ALL.
It was not a law rather an executive order. History shows that the American free market wins in the end. The banning of gold ownership was a response to the depression and could not have happened without that major economic disaster. Banning of cash and credit cards would require a similar devastating hit to our nation but eventually will not stand.
Gerald Ford finally repealed Executive Order 6102. With communications today being almost instantaneous we do not have to wait weeks for a newspaper to deliver news across the nation. Massive consumer backlash at the suggestion of banning cash or credit cards will deter all but the most dedicated communists.
A somewhat recent situation failed miserably when Al Franken’s campaign website described a plan to get rid of 401k’s and replace them with a government guaranteed 3% lifetime retirement fund. He admitted that his plan would not work unless we had a major stock market crash so that people would willingly take 3% as opposed to losing it all. When that news came out he scrubbed his website so fast that many people never heard about it. You can bet the left still has their eyes on all that money out there but they know the political ramifications of any actions on it.
And then filter/regulate each transaction’s fingerprint with it’s individual ESG score, as a handy ‘management app’ (or totalitarian coup de grace, if you prefer).
Got it.
just saw this, SWIFT has a new CBDC platform that will be activated in the next 12 to 18 months; 20 minute video:
On Monday, April 1st, this same you tube host, George Gammon, is going to be livestreaming his trip from Chile to Buenos Aries paying for everything in either bitcoin or gold/silver to see how possible it will be to live off a CBDC controlled system.
Excellent explanation of how digital currency works compared to electronic funds transfer.
I use cash everywhere that I spend money. It’s my way of poking them in the eye a little longer.
And he caused all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their forehead.
And (no one may buy or sell)
Me and friends have debated these passages over and over again for years. Our final conclusion, no buying or selling big trouble for a long life ( all those fence sitters and atheists, well they will become religious one way or another ) and the worse part, you will have to swear allegiance to the Advisory the little god of all evil. Rome did this be prepared.
Understand the times in which we live! The good part The Christ will be putting a stop to this insanity.
Yes Loren, and those who refuse the mark are instantly removed from any economic activity: living under a highway overpass and dumpster diving, anyone? That is what is coming to a society near you, and soon. Donald J. Trump may be able to delay this crap for a few years, but in the end, it is coming; Scripture has said so.
What this screams loud and clear is that Jesus is coming soon; not as the Suffering Servant to die for our sins [been there/done that], but as the coming King to rule and reign. Be ready.
Does one well to remember that this earth ain’t home, it’s just a stop in the road. I’m gonna be a happy warrior cause I’ve got a mansion just over the hilltop and the streets are paved with gold. (and filled with dogs that don’t poop.) Halleluiah!
Sundance, my brother, I appreciate your collation of extreme detail. My take on CBDC is simple:
CBDC will blossom into a stupendous growth of government bureaucracy. The new army of bureaucrats may speak different languages at home but at the office ONE GLOBAL LINGO IS SPOKEN: communist.
U.S. bureaucracy became a communist operation when JFK signed E.O.#10988 in January 1962. Nowadays, all public employees including cops, firemen, teachers, judges and dogcatchers belong to some kind AFLCIO-affiliated union. AFLCIO is communist. Murderer Richard Trumka bailed on the coal miners and thugged his way to the top of AFLCIO.
CBDC is a clever disguise for the final phase of communist bureaucratic control. Evil leadership in Europe and the U.S. of A. already tout the Chinese Communist social credit model tied to control of “the money.”
The evil ones are using a lot of confusing information and technology to disguise their real intention: global bureaucracy controlled by bankers who own the earthly life of every politician and bureaucrat. Klaus Schwab & Co are prime examples of communist banker-owned bureaucrats.
https://www.thepostil.com/lenin-and-the-new-man/
I think until someone is personally affected, all of the discussions on a CBDC changeover is meaningless. it is all hypothetical and not relevant until then.
In the mean time, there has been no discussion on how to oppose any change like what you are talking about. Do we need to have our own system of money exchange with knowledge up front to anticipate what might happen? The only real example of what the consequences are was demonstrated with the Canadian protesters but the general american consumer was not affected.
It would seem the only way to fight it would be to have our own system set up to switch over to in case the government gets totally out of control.
If one day the bank I use and the other banks I interact with says I have not authorized to pay my bills then my action would be to withdraw
Dunewall, You said “my action would be to withdraw” and I must ask withdraw what exactly? If you think at that moment you will be able to withdraw your dollars, I think you may need to rethink this plan. When they take control, it will be too late to withdraw your $$.
The point is there may be a few things you can do to help yourself if you start now.
I worked with a fellow who used to say “It’s not time yet to do that”, “It’s too early”, then he would switch to “It’s too late”. Needless to say he was fired.
Go to your bank tomorrow and ask to withdraw $10,000 dollars in cash. 3rd degree time with all the busybodies watching and listening.
$10k triggers the bank to fill out a form. Keep it under $10k.
The obvious answer is to move your legal tender to a place already set up as mentioned previously in what was said.
Good stuff. Great analogies. Thanks!
I heard a good story about this, if you spend a $50 bill the guy you bought from has $50 to spend and the guy he spends it with has $50 to spend an so on, the $50 moves around with no control by banks or government. When you use digital currency the bank get’s 1.5% of the transaction and every time some one uses the digital currency they take 1.5% of the transaction so you can see that banks want it and the government likes it because they can have the bank shut you down if they don’t like what you are buying! Can’t do that with a $50 bill!
Imagine what that would do to the velocity of money.
“Nice economy you got there… shame if something were to happen to it.”
Brilliant and Thank you. I’ll be sharing this with everyone in my orbit, and asking them to do the same.
Sundance,
What about block chain finance? Is that safe. Or will the electronic surveillance be so tight that any attempt to connect to a block chain transaction point be met with government thugs at our front door? (For those unfamiliar with block chain finance it uses a security hash key that is unbreakable by any government. So how can any government even know what we are doing unless they know all of the possible connection access points?)
Think “heavily regulated”, or banned outright under some “defense against terrorism” laws.
I believe that was Sundance’s point on alternative monetization. One way or another, they will link & ban all other forms.
Katherine Austin Fitts – The Solari Report – has info on state controlled banks and regulations – two states have implemented same, may be a big plus for citizens
So who benefits?
If we go digital they own us literally.
How do we not comply?
Who decides who can buy or sell?
What happens when they put an Unhuman AI in charge?
Who was it that
said “ It’s better to did free than to live a slave”?
I am Convinced Jesus is coming SOON for his bride and he is always on time.
Die free
The mark of the beast… “and that no man might buy or sell save he that had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name…”
Digital Currency.. digital identity.. total control..
Here’s another thing to consider: in a government run digital currency regimen you pay everything via this financial payment system … and you buy some guns, blog on social media how this takes away personal liberty, and you donate to the wrong political party. Result? You get shut down and can’t transact. So if you can’t pay your mortgage, then what? Can’t pay your healthcare premiums, then what? Just wondering out loud.
Go to calyxinstitute.org and learn how to get a privacy phone that is neither apple or google controlled. If you are using any apple device or an Android phone you are probably too stupid to survive what is coming.
If all that’s left is smartasses like you, who cares?
You are gullible and naïve to think there is any such thing as a “privacy phone”.
If you are driving a car that was made in say 2018 or later you are acquiescing to control. Keyless entry with no key lock outside the car, assist control standard that tell you if you are too close to car in front or are veering into wrong lane or speeding. Stop at stop light or stop sign and A/C goes off until car accelerates again et al. This is already on cars and the kill switch demanded by FJB is coming next. GM was called out for sharing OnStar data with insurance companies without the car owners knowledge.
Probably have a smart meter on your house put there by your local utility company. A meter that ‘measures’ your electricity use.
If you have recently bought appliances chances are they are ‘smart’ appliances which have computer chips and can be connected to WiFi or the internet. Can also be controlled this way without your approval.
Using electronic crack aka smartphone QR codes to make purchases? You are being trained for CBDC use.
Car, appliances, purchasing using QR codes and utilities all under the control of someone besides the owner. Right now it is at the leisure of the owner user but the vice grip is getting tighter for total control.
Going too fast car is programed to only go the speed limit. Gave to wrong political party you are locked out from you keyless entry car. Spoke up against big gov. your smart meter was changed to where A/C will not come on when you want it to. Having too many loads of dirty clothes or dishes, you smart washers have been reprogrammed to work on certain days regardless of your need.
All the above scenarios are possible now with the so called smart technology being sold to people. And this is before we even get to CBDC.
Dick.
That name suits you better.
I am reading Catherine Austen Fitts material and/ or analysis by other knowledgeable financial guru’s. They mention
” State ” banks and rules separate from feds. Two states already have their own banks and legislative installed regulations …..would like to see more thots and commentary about this. State independence may be a real
fly in the ointment of federal control of finance
So, in essence, our retirement, SS, pensions, etc. will all be digital and therefore govt. controlled? Say something about the vax and you can’t get medicine? Say something against the regime, and perhaps your SS doesn’t get deposited? Plug in your electric bike and your smart meter turns off the electricity? How do we stop these things?
Those are good questions. I’m old and SS is my sole monthly income so I’ve considered that reality. Being old also increases the likelihood of needing rx medications. How would one deal with that?
Here’s what I did, so far…. I didn’t count on SS but did take it as early as possible. I adjusted my lifestyle to require as little income as possible and, so far, am impressed with how that worked out. All the excess SS goes into hard assets or preparation and survival equipment and supplies. If it stops I can barter for essentials.
So far, in life, I’ve never taken a prescription medication. However, that could change at any moment. I do have quite a pharmacy from being a care manager for a decade, plus the old business shop first aid kits and survival trauma stuff, a byproduct of usually working alone in a dangerous industry with no help around, not uncommon for rural life.
Part of my prior work life was as a vendor for California’s largest public utility so I’m pretty well acquainted with electrical stuff. You’re correct, the utility can shut the power off at the smart meter. Presuming they don’t remove the triplex and/or transformer at the pole, unlikely since it serves a number of customers, it’s easy to work hot and bypass the meter. I did it at my place in CA when repairing upstream of the meter and on the three phase in the shop. Work safe, sure. It’s not rocket science.
I look at it this way; I can’t stop them from doing anything they really want to do. They’ll have to kill me to stop me from doing what I want to do. I’ll resist. The results will be what they are. En masse, resistance can be effective. We are organized in the canyon and have our own little community.
The scariest folks run the survival compound at the head of the canyon. They even scare me. I’ll watch what they do and augment as appropriate. Of course that’s kinetic action. My family is dead plus I’m old so I’m expendable. That’s how it goes.
In summation I don’t fear the Communists. I hate every last one of them and whomever fellates them to get by in life. The enemy. I expect that they don’t care. It’s pretty evident. I’m good with that. 🙂
Shoot the bastards wherever you find them.
Thank you so much Sundance. This also will enable the GOV. to track people who get tips in cash or do work in cash so they can tax the hell out of you. So if I was a handyman who did work on your home and you paid me in cash say like $500, I would never have to report it as income. Now that handyman would have to be paid by digital dollar and every cent he was paid is now taxable income. This is scary.
If you make $500, whether you’re paid with cash or digital dollar, you are supposed to report it as income, because it is income.
there is always one…
There is always one?
One who believes in truth and responsibility?
No wonder this world is truly messed up when people who believe they are conservative, or supposedly respect the rule of law, or are supposed to raise up the next generation to be righteous and honorable have no problem, whatsoever, lying to make a quick buck.
Jesus said give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and give to God what is God’s.
And God said ‘Thou shalt not bear false witness.’
But you and FrankieZee can lie and steal all you want, I’ll be the one who lives for the Lord.
Bravo Raven ! Rather interesting the amount of undeserved self-righteousness and name calling here, CONTRARY to the guidelines Sundance himself has set
Ok karen.
Karen?
Too bad truth has gone out of style so quickly and respect for our laws has become such a disposable commodity.
There will soon be tips in life necessities. A package of toilet paper, for example.
I guess you would not have to pay tax on your earnings cash, is that illegal? Yup. Kind of like all the illegals coming over our border.
Both are sinners and law breakers. No wonder the country is sliding into the stink hole of immorality.
As one who is embedded fairly deeply in the US Financial system; Sundance’s warnings are spot on.
As one who follows Christ; I believe strongly that this is not the first Tower of Babel that He has toppled, and it may not be the last.
And He said: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
Finally, while I believe this Tower of Babel will topple; I also believe I play a part in that toppling. Each of us plays a part. Find out what lane you belong in and move forward with faith and peace.
thank you, greg.
Yes, thank you, Greg. We were born for these times. We have to live out our destiny. Heaven is our home.
Thanks for sharing your perspective, Greg; great advice. My little piece is as follows: “in everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” Thank you Greg. Lord Jesus, I thank you for Sundance and the whole Treehouse community. Amen.
People in general who think “I’m a good person” has one option only. If you don’t know Jesus as your Saviour please get to know Him and tell your kids and your friends and your neighbors about Him. The end time is near but that’s just my opinion. Too many things are falling into place as prophesied in the Bible. Do not be left behind to suffer the tribulation because many will come to Jesus but only by beheading for not accepting the prefix of 666 attached to their digital currency. This 666 stuff will all happen after the rapture but followers of Jesus as the Savior will have already departed from earth. For those who don’t believe in the rapture, would you punish your child for believing in what you said and told them to prepare for? Of course not.
Read Revelation 6 and 7 verrrry carefully and you will see the “rapture” does not happen until after the 6th seal.
So no one will escape the persecution of Satan during the first five seals. Believers will however escape God’s judgement of the trumpets and bowls.
Thessalonians also says the rapture will not happen until AFTER the anti-christ is revealed to the world.
Americans/westerners are trapped like the Truman Show. Escape to gray zone. Expat enclaves, even under the possibility the lunatics drone with missles.
along the lines of the phone app analogy making something comply within the US – You can bet they will outlaw cash and real money aka gold silver diamonds etc. Yep its a coming.
IMO, that’s a reasonable posit, the possibility of outlawing alternative payment/asset methods and items. Here’s the thing with physical assets…. they have to take them. If we resist, they have to take them by force. Then it becomes war and anything can happen. People with substantial assets have the means to protect them from seizure, whether by ad hoc thieves or government goons. If one doesn’t, I suggest making some changes now. 🙂
If it gets to that point the Rubicon has been crossed and we’ve lost – the only precious metals that matter will be lead and brass
/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./
To really understand this, one has to go back an look at what the other side is proposing:
L. Randall Wray – Modern Money Theory for Beginners
Many might assume that is the system we have today, because the US government issues dollars. However,the ability to issue dollars is based on the government’s power to tax and taxation is based on the real productive( or non -productive financial) economy. If a country has no industry or banks, it won’t have anything to tax and therefore will have nothing to spend.
MMT and retail CBDCs reverse all that and say that the government is the source of money:
Sovereign Money Creation – A Better Way Forward?
“Unlike natural resources which today are still limited in supply, money is a human invention with potential unlimited availability. As a consequence, WE are free to determine how much money exists, who receives it, who makes it and what it means to us.” (???We ???)
https://www.happonomy.org/sovereign-money-creation/
…and that the idea of a useful “tax paying citizen” or corporation is obsolete. The only reason for taxation under MMT is to moderate inflation; the citizens are dependents not contributors. Thus, the government is free from all economic constraints. If it wants to build a million wind turbines across the land it just issues the money. If a business is in conflict with the government’s objectives (eg ESG, woke entertainment), the business can be deprived of financing and forced out of business. If you want a loan for a house or a car, you need to see the government… and it better be an electric car. And if the government does not like your politics it can simply turn off your money as the Canadian truckers discovered. And it won’t be difficult to ascertain your politics based on the records that it will keep about what you purchase and what causes you contribute to.
QUALITATIVE DIFFERENCE: Many of us are living on a piece of land with a house built on it. When was the last time you looked at your land title? Probably not in a very long time. Many might not even know where their title is? Since your land title is pretty much “out of sight out of mind” would it make any difference to you qualitatively if someone else’s name were on that title? Or if the government’s name were on that title?
With MMT and retail CBDCs the government would not only be the title holder of your land but of everything else you own …by monopolizing the transaction medium.
Extremely troublesome and seems overwhelming. Fair elections could reverse this so I dwell on it. (The peaceful approach) The best example of the damage rigged elections have done is the current WH pResident but the installation of bad actors is the new normal for all important positions in our elections especially since the fake pandemic introduced mail in ballots for all in 2020.

l I hope this falls within the boundaries of this topic. Before I say what I’m about to say, I want you to understand that I’m not a religious person.
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), or the digital coin they roll out, will mark the beginning of the so-called ‘mark of the beast’ financial system.
Let me explain. Lets start with the number of the beast and man, 666.
The mystery of 666, has been solved. Its so simple, that even a child can understand it. Carbon is a chemical element with symbol C and atomic number 6; common element of all known life
Carbon is 6 on the atomic scale. It has 6 electrons. 6 neutrons. And it has 6 protons.
666 represents all carbon based life on earth. Mystery solved. Now lets move on to context. In the BOR, where its talking about the mark of the beast, its obviously talking about a centralized financial system.
What is a ‘mark’? A mark is very simply, a unit of currency. Like a dollar. Or a shekel.
It says that no person will buy, sell, or trade without this mark. This unit of currency. So, logically, when they roll out the digital coin, very likely backed by the carbon credit scam, they’ll also render all current world currency as ‘null and void’.
In a nutshell: The digital coin backed by the carbon credit scam is the defacto mark of the beast financial system.
“I want you to understand that I’m not a religious person.”
Sorry to hear this – are you familiar with Pascal’s Wager?
I have no doubt in the existence of the creator. What I don’t have faith in, is man. As such, I don’t trust any religion or man with my continued spiritual existence.
What I find interesting, is the point at where you stopped reading.
Peace
Peace back at you and I did read your whole post – I took no religion to mean saying no to God. Please don’t.
I saw a movie once where the hitman killed everyone in room 666 – big mistake. Was supposed to be room 999 but maintenance was lazy and attached the numbers with only one screw each – turned into 666 when the door slammed.
Except Revelation says the mark is the Beast’s mark.
One will take his mark as an act of allegiance to him, to display on your forehead or hand, not as the result of getting assigned a system barcode number or whatever in a computer system.
This so beyond “1984”. It’s frightening to think what the “government” will do with this crap.
That was excellent. Thank you for taking the time to explain it with examples.
This digital financial control system is going to be installed no matter what citizens want or how vehemently they object. The only deterrent in my mind might be that a digital fingerprint ledger will lay bare the corruption so easily hidden from view with a cash based system.
But that said, there will also develop a black market that will operate completely outside the confines of the government control mandate, most likely for good and bad transactions.
A black market just as you described, the bridge between zones is a perfect example of those adaptations.
SD said crypto will be outlawed, does that also apply to precious metals? How do states and countries that mandate the gold standard interface with digital cabal.
I am more concerned about who will control and or have access to this vast data base we call our lives. Will people remember this is not so much about government control, but rather what the federal reserve, and Blackrock cabal, will harvest from citizens hammered into compliance by our terrorist government.
It just shines a light on the truth that for far too long governments on the whole were/are never for the citizens. Easy power and money just draws unsavory people.
The decayed luster of patriotism and morality, along with a distracted citizenry, that cares too little, just makes all of this inevitable.
Life is just too easy for most of us.
Gold and silver are strategic high demand industrial metals that are required for this tech world to exist. They will always have value because of their high tech and medical uses and limited supply and high cost to extract from the earth.
Thanks SD. As one of the confused ones you quoted, I can say your explanation helped so you can take heart in that.
I see it’s not so much that the govt can better control currency as it is that it can control us through currency. Somehow the idea that our identity becomes “imaged” into our money is what was lost on me. How ironic: we currently see the government in money (i.e. dead presidents) but now the government will see *us* in money.
I am beginning to see the ramifications. It’s almost like what I will pay with it not just a medium of exchange but also a report card of sorts.
Here is the best, most concise explanation I’ve seen and heard. Catherine Austin Fitts had it assembled to inform state legislators to what was coming.
If you read nothing, at least go to the first video and hear the General Manager of the BIS (Bank of International Settlements) in Switzerland (Agustin Carstens is from Mexico, thus the accent) explaining a little too clearly in October, 2020 on an IMF panel, about the desired control that CBDCs would provide over a nation’s citizens.
https://home.solari.com/the-threat-of-financial-transaction-control/
D’ya really think living under this kind of control wouldn’t influence what you say, write, or post?
Good explanation Sundance. To make it even easier, the programmable and identifiable nature of the CBDC would allow this scenario: you go to buy some ammo. The central bank/government has decided you’ve purchased too much ammo this month and program your “digital dollar” with restrictions on ammo purchases. Not only do the restrict you from buying more ammo, they also know how many total rounds you’ve bought in X amount of time and how many range trips you’ve taken to shoot that ammo. They are then able to send Feds to your house or surveil all your other financial activity because they have determined you are stock piling ammo. As a result of this, they can program your digital dollars to prohibit you from purchasing other items or travelimg. They become able to control you completely without having to physically take possession of you. Scary stuff for sure and arriving for certain in the next 12-24 months.
More to the point, the AI monitoring your CBDC receipts determines that your ammo purchases put you into a “terrorist watch list” profile, and so they cut off your ability to purchase gas… or pay your bills… or buy food for your family.
As I understand the situation I think the use of the term “Digital Dollar” for CBDC’s might not be the best term to use as it can bring some level of confusion itself. In some sense the currency we are already using with Bank and Credit Cards could be considered a digital dollar (and I think most people see it as that) in the sense that in these transactions paper money never sees the light of day, its just a computer reconciliation of two Accounts that moves the value from one to the other. It is all done digitally. The other confusion might be that the Digital Currency, at least at the outset, in the Yellow Countries will peg it’s value to the USD, hence the use of the term dollar. But apart from the present Economic situation theoretically it could be the digital Euro or the Digital Yen. The point being that it’s truly an abstract currency that can be manipulated to an even greater degree than fiat currencies to the ultimate benefit of those holding power. As confusing as it might be I think it would be better to just call it a Digital Currency.
12/24 launch. They must be relying on election fraud again to facilitate this in the U.S. because the rightful President Trump would have nothing to do with it.
Another plus, you can fill up credit cards and give people you like (i.e. the ones who vote for you) money because you can create as much as you want out of whole cloth.
This whole thing is really very simple to understand:
Dollar – Can be spent by anyone, for anything, at anytime, for any reason the holder chooses.
CBDC – Can only be spent by who THEY choose!
For what THEY choose!
When THEY choose!
And for the reason THEY choose!
And THEY hate you!
Do not cede to the corrupt communist criminal cartel pretending to be govt, as a matter of fact, snatch your freedoms back and all of this goes away. Your freedom is worth fighting for.

Rev 13:17
How will the US Corp Import / Export interface work with yellow being US CBDC and grey being not US CBDC?
Will there be exchange rates between international currencies and US CBDC?
CBDC will enslave us all. It must be resisted, fought and repulsed if we the people are to live as free men.
Years ago – I think it was in the 90’s when the PC craze was first blowing up – I read an article about a group of numerologists getting together and discerning that the word “computer” came up to the Mark of the Beast (you all know the number). I remember after reading the article that I said to myself, “yep, that’s certainly possible.” This was still in the days of the screaming modem to access the wide new world of the internet. That article has always stuck with me in the back of my mind, as I’ve watched the world rush headlong into depending on “digital” for nearly everything. And here we are: Right on the brink of “no one could buy or sell …” via a CBDC. This should terrify anyone and EVERYONE.
The problem we face – in here and other conservative sites, as well as in the wider “mainstream” world – is that people are either apathetic, ignorant, or brain washed. Control is seeping into nearly every facet of our existence today. As a football fan, I’m a frequent commenter on my team’s fan blog. I am constantly running right up against the moderation of the site if I so much as get near a “conservative” thought. I notice that others can comment in a leftward way. It’s perhaps a minor thing, but it is pervasive if you pay attention. And it’s also part of the conditioning that has been occurring for decades, but has ramped up exponentially since we had the temerity to elect Trump in 2016.
I’ll also take this a step further than Sundance, as well. It won’t happen immediately – they’ll get everyone used to CBDC and comfortable with it – but eventually we are going to return to the days of private ownership of gold being made illegal again. Any precious metals for that matter. And has anyone thought of what might happen if an EMP happens to be unleashed on the U.S.? What happens to all those digital bits if they get fried by electro-magnetic energy?
CBDC is a horrible idea. I dare say it is an EVIL idea. It comes eerily close to the description in Revelations and other prophecy.
In simple words, a digital dollar means every cent/dollar you make and spend is monitored and controlled by government watchdogs. Think of it as your personal barcode on every buck you make. They (the government) identify your “money” barcode and Cancel it.
They want you helpless, they cancel your money – you are broke because you don’t perform as they want.
Doesn’t matter if you’re a multi-millionaire in their Digital Dollar currency – one keystroke by a government agent and you are broke. You own not one penny.
Get it now?
Many of us understand and appreciate what you have been saying (esp with regard to your experiences on the other side of the pond to give us more clarity)
Also, some of us have already experienced the increasing US controls on our ability to transact cryptos and the push toward a cashless society.
Yet what can be done? I use cash as often as possible. I’ve known for quite some time we are totally ripped off and controlled by our cell carriers compared to people I know in Europe who pay way less for service and can do so much more on their phones.
Open a foreign bank account and move funds?
What about retirement accounts— are there off shore versions for us little people? Is it time to become an expat?
If I think about all the ramifications, it can be chilling and paralyzing. Then I think: Live your best life. Pray. Then pray some more….
And hey- are those brokers real? ‘Financial prepper’. We all need that kind of help right now, before it’s too late.
God bless you, Sundance, for bringing the lamp of God’s illumination to this monumental issue.
We have been pacified and lulled into complacency by easy living, but have not stayed vigilant to the real gift, the real meaning of our purpose as a society and as a nation.
May our Lord and Savior forgive us and grant us a reprieve!
Cryptocurrencies, like our worthless fiat money, ultimately is another form of worthless paper money. The world’s central banks are hoarding up gold and I believe a return to the gold standard will happen around the world. Trump will bring back the gold and silver standard by the time he is done with his second term imo.
In today’s economy, “They” would be able to blacklist anyone and deny them access to their money and wealth. In a more extreme case, they could render you an economic “non-person”. Control taken beyond, becomes punitive enforcement. We are headed into,a dark,tomorrow unless the next administration takes the bull by the horns, exposes the scheme and assigns stern and ruinous consequences.
It is us, or them.
President Trump or not, this is the death blow.
