In the future planned for all of us, the gulags and commissars will be digital. Communism “will work this time” when the enforcement is omni-present and incorruptible. You can’t negotiate with or bribe the facial recognition cameras. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) are a key component of that universal control grid.
What is CBDC?
It is programable money, it works like a coupon or voucher. A credit card or Venmo is only digital. CBDC allows the programmer – working for some detached and distant Central Banker, a crooked Wall Street executive or your least favorite politician – to control how you spend CBDC. It’s simply not your money.
· Under the guise of fighting climate change, all items will be assigned a carbon score to limit your purchases of gas, meat, airplane tickets, etc. Supra-national corporations are openly working on this now.
· CBDC can be assigned a location in which you may spend, thus limiting your ability to travel; to enforce 15-minute cities.
· CBDC can be assigned an expiration date or negative interest rates, forcing you to spend. Or it may be frozen or confiscated without due process.
· You cannot save for emergencies or down payments – “You will own nothing and be happy” – or to escape domestic violence. No more yard sales, no cash in birthday cards.
· Every transaction is recorded forever, on a central ledger whose location is unknown to you, controlled by people you never vote for. There is zero anonymity, zero privacy, forever.
· There are currently 100+ central banks representing 95% of the world’s economy developing CBDC.
What can you do that has zero carbon footprint?
What can you do that does not require spending money?
CBDC must be attached to your personal Digital ID. Your Digital ID is a globally coordinated unique identification number and will include bio-metrics such as your face scan, retinal scan and palm print. For years Digital ID has been implemented throughout the European Union via vaccine mandates to travel between countries. More recently it was attempted via Covid vaccine passports as the QR code on your phone. Did you notice every Western nation got the response to Covid exactly wrong? Digital ID is also being brought in the back door via mass illegal immigration (who is allowed to be in your country) voter ID and driver's licenses.
To create the control grid, CBDC must be installed in a cashless economy. There can be no competing physical currency: no cash, no checks, no gold/silver and no decentralized crypto. Politicians around the globe have increased calls to fight terrorism and drug/human trafficking by attacking money laundering as justification for CBDC. Although most illicit transactions are in cash, this is the validation to regulate competing crypto-currencies and to subvert the ability of Bitcoin to scale as pier-to-pier digital cash. If fear does not motive you, how about reforming welfare payments and Universal Basic Income (UBI) as programmable CBDC. How it is installed is irrelevant, it is all a slow erosion of our ability to live independent of a central authority.
CBDC and Digital ID are core to a 24/7 global surveillance and control grid, the intended evolution of the Chinese social credit system. CBDC gives carceral power to whomever controls the code and this is explicitly the model that the United Nations, working publicly with the World Economic Forum and other NGO’s, wish to bring to the Western nations under the cover of Sustainability.
Central Bank Digital Currencies and Digital ID are the beating heart of an inescapable prison planet.
