All Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) banned in America!
X ^

Posted on 01/23/2025 5:15:19 PM PST by FLT-bird

Treasury Secretary nominee Scott Bessent declares it during Senate hearing for his confirmation. CBDCs are Fascist Coin. A CBDC would effectively give the government total control over each person's money individually....a level of control even Orwell never dreamed of.

Stargate will make CBDC unnecessary for the total surveillance/control state.

It is a really bad idea being run by really bad people.

“Stargate will make CBDC unnecessary for the total surveillance/control state.”

And this is absolutely true. And CBDC will indeed be implemented as part of it at some point. It can’t have full control without it. It needs to be able to shut off the Bacon and the Beer.

This is starting to give me flashbacks of the movie “Demolition Man”.

It is dystopic. The only way to liberate mankind will be to bring down the entire internet (if that is even possible) and somehow endure the chaos that follows.

I have often had the same thought.

Probably be easier to turn off the sun, though.

We had no internet in 1974. The Deep State was able to force Nixon to resign.

Nixon wouldn't have been forced to resign if Watergate happened today.

Nixon would have been able to tweet to defend himself.

And we're posting on FR right now.

In 1974, we would be reading the WaPo instead. We'll be reading articles by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein.

That is why it will certainly happen.

Yeah, the IRS already completely tracks your bank account in violation of search and seizure.

Your credit cards are tracking all your purchases and selling that purchase data to marketers.

Rev 13

16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17and 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.

“It is dystopic.”

One could make a GREAT movie on CBDC and the power it gives government, and also include a part where it gets hacked, or power goes down, and fully stocked stores cannot even sell to people who have cash...It could be 1984 quality.

De-centralized currency terrifies the globalists. They want their ability to shut down your money with the push of a button. De-centralized stores of value recognized as currency and used in a free-market economy takes them out of the game. The Federal Reserve system will become irrelevant and that would happen to every centralized nation once people realize the freedom it provides.

Imagine a world where Jerome Powell announces rate increases and it has the impact of a fart in the wind because people have migrated their finances into de-centralized platforms.

There is panic in the air this week in Davos. And the remaining Rothschilds are “concerned”.
