SO … If you read or actually follow what I post, you are probably
aware that I am a cantankerous Senior Citizen (considered Disabled until I
reached 66, so now the government arbitrarily re-classified me as retired)
Christian-Conservative-Patriot. Which more than likely places a special label
on my head by the Dem-Marxist Coup power-usurping government rulers as
extremist domestic terrorist. EVEN THOUGH that is a lie since unlike
Dem-Marxists and their paramilitary comrades (Antifa & BLM) I do NOT
participate in violence. I do preach PEACEFUL resistance and non-compliance to
tyranny.
Now that the Dem-Marxists have shorn up their grip on the
apparatus of law enforcement and have essentially purged the U.S. Military of
Constitutional Conservatives, those tools of power undoubtedly view me as an
enemy of the State.
With those thoughts in mind, in these current days of
Dem-Marxist Oligarchic Elitism ignore the Constitution, I am uncertain if my dwindling
financial support (though readership seems steady statistically) is due
to blacklisting, shadow banning, complacent ambivalence or some odd combination
of all of the above.
ERGO, today’s poking the stick in the tyrant’s eye sharing
is a combination of Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh’s “The Depraved New World
and Technocracy”; an email of from Brandon Smith of The Bob Livingston Letter
(‘To gain total power, the establishment has to make freedom and truth
"dangerous"’); a David Kupelian email (which really reads as
a support
WND email) entitled “America’s
elites finally reveal their most hated enemy: Christians”; and then a
Greg Reese roughly 5-minute video offering a brief history of the use of money –
U.S. history to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) Global Tyranny –
entitled “INSIDE THE ECONOMIC RESET” (H/T The Reese
Report Substack).
After watching the Reese video I felt an imperative to share
information on the probable stranglehold of controlling every aspect of a
person’s life the government will possess with the implementation of CBDC
cashless society. If you thought COVID/Medical Tyranny was an intrusion on
Liberty, a CBDC controlled society will make COVID/Medical Tyranny look like a
short walk in a 15-Minute City park.

The Depraved New World and Technocracy
Who is going to save this Republic from implosion?
March 23, 2023
United Nations
has become a very powerful organization that yields a lot of power among
globalists, including billionaire Americans who give to its causes dear to
their hearts. The majority of U.N.’s funding comes from American taxpayers and
they are either blissfully ignorant of what the U.N. is doing to our country or
are actually supporting the United States’ demise.
The United Nations has been able to impose over the years
the globalist Agenda 21/2030 by using the lynchpin Sustainable Development’s 17
goals which read quite innocuous at first glance. But SD is the tool to create
a new global economic order after the destruction of U.S. capitalism.
The Green New Deal, U.N. Agenda 21/2030, Smart Cities,
Public-Private Partnerships, Regionalism, 15-minute cities, and the Great Reset
of the World Economic Forum (WEF)
Patrick Wood has written about and discussed technocracy
since the 1970s. He published many books and articles on the topic. He has
argued for a long time that technocracy dominance and not communism is the true
goal of the globalists. He wrote that United Nations established Sustainable
Development (SD) as “an outgrowth of historic Technocracy from the 1930s.”
The Green New Deal, U.N. Agenda 21/2030, Smart Cities,
Public-Private Partnerships, Regionalism, 15-minute cities, and the Great Reset
of the World Economic Forum (WEF) are goals that must be accomplished at all
costs. According to Patrick Wood, only then the population of the earth will be
“micro-managed by a Scientific Dictatorship.”
The technocracy movement has been around since the 1930s. At
the time, Julian Huxley, an English evolutionary biologist and a left-wing
internationalist preoccupied with education, was the first director-general in
1946 of the newly created United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO). His directorship only lasted two years instead of six.
Catholic Americans objected to his idea of controlling population growth with
birth control.
Edward Bellamy’s writings and the progressive engineers of
the early twentieth century defined the technocracy movement. The term technocracy was
invented in 1919 by William H. Smyth, an engineer from California, “the rule of
the people made effective through the agency of their servants, the scientists
and engineers.”
Howard Scott and other writers advocated that
“businesspeople were incapable of reforming their industries in the public
interest and that control of industry should be given to engineers.” He is
considered the founder of the technocracy movement.
Technocracy is the science of social engineering
Technocracy Inc. proposed in 1938 that
“technocracy is the science of social engineering, the scientific operation of
the entire social mechanism to produce and distribute goods and services to the
entire population of this continent [from Panama to the North Pole],… as a scientific,
technical, and engineering problem.” Goods will be distributed by this
technocracy by “means of a certificate of distribution available to every
citizen from birth to death.” The various splinter organizations of the
technocracy movement did not survive very long in New York and at Columbia.
During this time period, Aldous Huxley, Julian Huxley’s
brother, wrote in 1931 and published in 1932 his dystopian novel Brave
New World which is set in a World State in 2540 A.D. in the city of
London, where citizens are environmentally engineered by science into a social
hierarchy based on intelligence. Reproductive technology, sleep-learning,
psychological manipulation, and classical conditioning create a frightening
society. Unfortunately some of these imagined developments have come to
fruition today, as science is already experimenting with and accomplishing
objectionable futuristic goals.
Citizens in Huxley’s Brave New World are
born through artificial wombs and children are indoctrinated into predetermined
classes based on intelligence and the type of labor they are slated to perform.
There are hatchery workers like Lenina Crowne. Citizens are kept calm and in
check with a drug called ‘soma.’
Richard Gardner, a member of the Trilateral Commission (a
non-governmental organization or NGO), wrote in 1974 an article for Foreign
Affairs Magazine entitled “The Hard Road to World Order” in which he predicted
the future of the Commission’s self-described New International Economic Order
– “an end-run around national sovereignty,” “booming, buzzing confusion,” and
building this Economic Order from the “bottom up” instead of an “old-fashioned
frontal assault.”
This year, 2023, is Year One of this new global order
A Trilateral Commission member, which cannot be identified
as per its rules, spoke at the New Delhi meeting on March 12, 2023, “Three
decades of globalization – defined as integrated, free-market based and
deflationary – has been replaced by what will be a multidecade period of
globalization defined as fragmented, not-free-market-based but
industrial-policy based and structurally inflationary.” This year,
2023, is Year One of this new global order.” Trilateral
Commission calls 2023 'Year One' of new world order - Nikkei Asia
In our Depraved New World where everything goes, the virtue
signaling insane societal circus forces citizens to buy into the mental
delusion and disease of a few men who think that they are women, that they can
menstruate, have wombs, have babies, and compete in women’s sports. If we
don’t, we are sent to a pariah status by our technocratic State.
The economy is in inflationary and energy shambles, we
are invaded by citizens from 200 different nations through our borderless
southern and northern crossings, law and order are worse than ever, education
and medical care are lacking in this banana republic, and the traditional
family and Christianity are heavily under attack. Who is going to save this
Republic from implosion? Like the poet Juvenal wrote in his Satires, Quis
custodiet ipsos custodes?

To gain total power, the establishment has to make
freedom and truth "dangerous"
Email by Brandon Smith
Email Sent Mar 22, 2023, 10:15 AM
Email via The Bob Livingston
Letter [Published by Personal
Liberty Media Group]
It's no mistake that certain talking points seem to be
repeated ad nauseam by politicians and media talking heads until they become a
part of the common public vernacular. For example, most of us in the Liberty
Movement never heard the term "alt-right" in our lives until around
2015-2016. Leftist media and even Fox News on occasion bandied the label like a
broken record without ever really defining it. Soon, every leftist on social
media was using it as a pejorative for anyone who disagreed with them.
Much like the terms "extremist,"
"terrorist," "deplorable," "bigot" or
"misogynist," "alt-right" was the new catch-all attack
against people who refused to comply with the establishment narrative. The
goal, obviously, is to isolate anyone who opposes their agenda and inoculate
the public with prejudice.
The message: Some people on the political right are
OK. The people who follow our dictates and don't question our actions and
motives. Others are very bad, dangerous and unhinged and might be capable of
anything. We don't like those people. Be a good right-wing person, not an
alt-right person. Anything they say is a lie designed to turn you to the dark
side and radicalize you."
The source of these character attacks is often hard to
pinpoint but can usually be traced back to coordinated corporate campaigns,
proving that the mainstream media is not in competition, they are in collusion.
The COVID pandemic response was a perfect example; every single corporate
outlet and every major social media outlet was in lockstep on the narrative
without question and without skepticism.
And if we follow the trail back even further, we will
usually find that the media relies on information scripted by government
agencies and globalist think tanks like the Imperial College of London or the World Economic
Forum during covid, for example. The WEF's Event 201 "simulation" of
a coronavirus pandemic, which was held only two months before the real thing
happened, specifically discussed the need for coordinated information control
and "flooding the zone" in social media with corporate sources to
drown out any contrary data and viewpoints which they call
"disinformation." Check out this
video at the 9:00 mark.
We can see the direct consequences of this agenda today. Try
to search for any information on COVID on YouTube and all you will get is
thousands upon thousands of corporate media propaganda pieces. No alternatives.
This kind of uniformity and centralization of messaging is not limited to
crisis events, however. It also extends to what I would call
"counterinsurgency" propaganda, also known as "4th Generation
Warfare."
First, it's important to understand one vital fact when it
comes to these tactics of isolation and demonization: It is a mindset that
views the general population as the enemy, rather than a foreign government or
military. Beyond that, it is an indirect reveal of who the establishment fears
the most.
Conservatives, liberty activists and patriots are targeted
because we are a threat to the power structure. If we weren't a danger
to them, they would not waste their time, money and energy trying to tear us
down. So, take that fact to heart. They hate you because they are afraid of
you.
Second, their program of isolation is failing. Rather than
shrinking into obscurity on the fringes of society, liberty groups (at least in
the U.S.) are growing into the mainstream consciousness. Not only that, but
every time the establishment oversteps and violates people's rights our
influence grows. More people had their blinders removed in the first two years
of the pandemic lockdowns than in the rest of the nearly 20 years I have been
working within the alternative media. They are beginning to lose, and they know
it.
Predictably, and according to basic Alinsky tactics, the
establishment is trying to shift to new messages and new methods. The media has
been beating Americans over the head the past year with the claim that certain
information and certain even certain freedoms are in fact a "threat to our
democracy." But what does this mean, exactly?
Well, it's an Orwellian perversion of a fundamental pillar
of our society: "In order to protect your freedoms, we have to take them
away. Or at least take them away from certain people that disagree with our
ideology."
The "threat to democracy" argument has been used
in everything from COVID vaccination, election skeptics, the takeover of
Twitter by Elon Musk and the Jan. 6 protests. Now, we even have top political
officials declaring that the release of previously restricted footage of the J6
event is a "threat to democracy." Video evidence proving that an
"insurrection" never happened could bring down our country, according
to these people.
The calls for Tucker Carlson to be removed from Fox News and
his reports silenced have been rampant. The new catch-all phrase "threat
to democracy" is being swung wildly like a baseball bat in an Apple store.
They claim it's about maintaining faith in our election system, but really,
it's about maintaining faith in the establishment message. They are being
exposed as foolish. They are being exposed as liars. If this continues, they
might even face retribution, and that is what they are really preparing
for.
When we hear incessant arguments asserting that the
examination of facts and evidence is the same as "insurrection" it is
because the establishment does in fact fear insurrection. Or more accurately,
they fear rebellion.
There has long been a theory within the Liberty Movement
that globalists would seek to create national division to deliberately
instigate a civil war. The notion assumes that the money elites would be able
to control the outcome in their favor. I disagree. I think what they really
wanted was a minor insurgency, a small revolt of people they could simply label
domestic terrorists that would be easily put down while at the same time using
the chaos as an excuse to enforce unconstitutional provisions.
What they are getting is something much bigger than I think
they expected. This is why they backed off the COVID mandates and the vaccine
passports. They realized the movement to oppose them is much larger than a mere
fringe.
The attempt to categorize certain speech, certain
information and certain liberties as "anti-democracy" is a desperate
measure to herd a large enough percentage of the population into a camp of
rationalized tyranny. They couldn't quite get enough people to support
permanent medical authoritarianism, especially with the death rate of covid
being so small, but maybe they can get a larger number of people to support
greater control by appealing to their love of the democratic ideal?
Only people who are anti-freedom would want to rebel against
a system based on democracy, right?
Except, our country is not a democracy and never was. We are
supposed to be a Republic with individual rights protected regardless of the
majority opinion. Beyond that, our system doesn't qualify as a democracy anyway
because our system is controlled through centralized influence of public
opinion. You cannot have a majority rule when the majority doesn't have access
to factual information needed to make sound judgments.
The hypocrisy is evident. In order to "protect
democracy" the elites claim that information must be controlled, and
certain freedoms must be diminished. But in the process of instituting these
controls, the information needed for a democracy to function is erased. All you
have left afterward is technocratic oppression.
Freedom is not a threat to democracy. The truth is
not a threat to our nation. Freedom and truth are only threats to tyrants. And
if it becomes necessary to use truth and freedom to rebel, if it becomes
necessary to destroy the corrupt systems tyrants have built, then so be it.
That's how America started, and we can always start over again.
To truth and knowledge,
Brandon Smith

America’s elites finally reveal their most hated enemy:
Christians
Email by David Kupelian
Email Sent Mar 22, 2023, 7:01 AM
Email Sent Via WND
Dear friend of WND,
In case you haven’t heard, public schools in the United States of America are
now opening up after-school
Satan Clubs. Yes, you read that right. At the same time, Joe Biden
just condemned any effort to stop the horrendous transgender surgeries
mutilating America’s children as “close
to sinful.” Meanwhile, a Minnesota lawmaker is complaining that
“white Christians” who lovingly adopt needy Native American children are
guilty of “genocide.”
I wonder if you detect the underlying reality behind these and so many of
today’s news headlines?
As a Christian journalism organization, WND reports daily on the openly demonic
agenda of the “Biden administration.” The ruinous inflation leading to the
devastation of America’s economy and the current banking crisis, the
intentional destruction of America’s fossil fuel industries, the intentional
full-scale foreign invasion of America across our southern border, the perverse
promotion of violent crime and the epidemic of fentanyl overdose deaths (the
No. 1 cause of death for Americans 18 to 48), the weaponization of the FBI to
harass, arrest and incarcerate Trump supporters, the orgy of grooming and
recruiting America’s innocent kids into the ultra-dark transgender world, and
so on.
But get this. Alongside all this unfolding degradation and rapid-fire societal
destruction, something else remarkable is happening: The very same political,
cultural and sexual revolutionaries responsible for today’s unprecedented chaos
in America have finally dared to “come out” and publicly identify exactly WHO
they consider to be their biggest enemy.
Christians.
That’s right, Christians are the enemy. That’s the hidden subtext to all the
headlines, trends and outrages.
For years they’ve been beating around the bush, condemning conservative
Christians with epithets ranging from “Trump supporters” and “white
supremacists” to “the unvaccinated” and some mysterious entity called “QAnon.”
Some of their attacks have been staggeringly stupid – like branding parents as
“domestic terrorists” for standing up and complaining at school board meetings
about teachers brainwashing their 6-year-olds with Marxist critical race
theory. It seems that somehow every decent, patriotic, traditionally minded
American these days is demonized as a “violent extremist” for one reason or
another.
Now we know why.
Finally, the ruling elites have grown sufficiently brazen to openly identify
the one group they consider as the TRUE AND ULTIMATE enemy of America, and that
is sincere biblical Christians.
* "It’s becoming increasingly clear that the United States is under
siege by Christian fundamentalists and traditionalists!" warns MSNBC's
Ja'han Jones.
* "Christian Nationalism Is The ‘Single Biggest Threat’ to America’s
Religious Freedom,” announces the Center for American Progress.
* “[The Republican Party is] a movement dedicated to imposing White Christian
nationalism,” insists the Washington Post’s pretend “conservative,” Jennifer
Rubin.
* "If Christian Nationalism isn't essentially domestic terrorism, then I
don’t know what is,” opines Cari Marshall of the Texas Democracy Foundation,
who goes on to explain the methods of all those supposedly violent Christian
extremists: “They simultaneously weaponize the Bible and the Constitution to
justify their wanton disregard for the views and safety of others and their
insatiable lust for weapons and violence.”
Allow me to translate.
What’s REALLY happening is the ruling elite’s fear and loathing of Christianity
– you know, the faith that once made America the freest and most wonderful
nation in history, the once-widespread belief that the Ten Commandments and the
Sermon on the Mount provide the basis for a good life and a strong, healthy,
truly decent society – that hatred is now boiling over.
To the hard Left, Christians ARE racists … and Nazis, and terrorists and
fascists. (Or as Biden called conservative Christians during one recent speech,
“semi-fascists.”) But in reality, what’s actually going on is that the Left has
always been at war with Almighty God and His laws and His ways. They are in
perpetual rebellion against the Creator of the Universe, because Marxism – by
definition – amounts to hatred and rejection of God so that human “saviors”
can create paradise on earth. With them in charge, of course. That, in turn, always
ends up being hell on earth, with the 20th century the bloodiest in all of
human history, thanks to the very types of God-hating utopians who, right now,
are maniacally obsessed with ruling America.
Today’s finally-out-in-the-open hatred of Christianity and Christians explains
a lot – including the unprecedented censorship, vilification, demonization and
cancellation of genuinely conservative, Christian, pro-American voices. Which
of course includes the ceaseless attacks on WND, America’s original independent
online Christian journalism organization, now weeks away from launching into
its 27th consecutive year of 24/7 operation.
In fact, it explains in a dramatic way why we at WND are experiencing another
huge wave of attacks on us as we, as Christian journalists, (figuratively)
stand on the rooftops daily and shout the truth in the midst of a political
culture steeped in lies and evil.
I won’t burden you with a detailed litany of all the attacks we’ve endured.
You’ve heard many of them before – all the Big Tech banning, demonetization,
suppression, defamation, destruction of our advertising and so on, including a
few months back Google’s
unprecedented 11-day global blacklist of WND.
Without listing the many challenges we’re still facing, I just want to appeal
to you to understand – and hopefully act on that understanding – that in the
current openly anti-Christian era, the ONLY way a bold Christian news
organization can possibly carry on is with strong support from those who value
its continued existence.
There’s simply no other way forward for us – we have no billionaire sugar daddy
like George Soros, and Big Tech has pretty much wrecked the advertising-based
business model for news that supported us for years. In truth, a LOT of people
are gunning for us. The only countervailing force that can save us from the
continual, multi-pronged assault on our existence … is YOU.
So if you value and appreciate WND and want to see it continue, please
support us financially. It is just as simple as that. There is no
other way we will be able to carry on.
The grace of God and the generosity of donors has gotten us this far. Thank you
sincerely for all your past support.
But we need your ongoing help, to cover our costs and make payroll for our
fantastic group of journalists, all of whom have taken significant pay cuts and
missed paychecks entirely, yet who have stayed with us for the past two
decades!
Here’s how you can help:
Please
prayerfully consider making a generous tax-deductible donation to the 501c3
Christian nonprofit charity, the WND News Center. You can make
either a one-time donation or a monthly recurring donation, by credit card or
PayPal. Whatever you can do is enormously appreciated.

Federal Reserve announces July launch of central bank
digital currency infrastructure
A financial expert has warned that FedNow lays out the
foundation for a central bank digital currency by centralizing all
participating banks under the Federal Reserve.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell - CNBC Television / YouTube
Mar 17, 2023 - 1:59 pm EDT
(LifeSiteNews)
— The Federal Reserve on Wednesday announced a July launch of its FedNow
service, which will enable all U.S. banks to offer instant payments 24/7, and
will constitute the infrastructure of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) by
linking each banking node directly to the Federal Reserve, according to
financial experts.
FedNow “will enable all the banks — any bank in the United
States, not just the big ones — to offer instantly available funds in real-time
payments to their customers”, explained Fed Chair Jerome Powell before the
House Financial Services Committee on March 8.
According to a Federal Reserve press release, “many early adopters” plan on using
the FedNow service in July upon its launch, “including a diverse mix of
financial institutions of all sizes, the largest processors, and the U.S.
Treasury.”
However, FedNow program executive Ken Montgomery
noted that “growing the network of participating financial institutions will be
key” to greater availability of the FedNow service.
Cointelegraph pointed out that FedNow could “stand in place
of a central-bank-issued digital currency.”
While Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard maintained during a House of Representatives
Committee on Financial Services hearing in May that a CBDC could take five
years to launch due to needed security and design features, she added that
FedNow will still serve many of the same functions as a CBDC, according to the
financial news outlet.
Financial advisor Joe Brown has warned that FedNow serves as
the foundation, or “infrastructure” for a CBDC, bringing the country only a
step away from deployment of a central bank digital currency once the FedNow
system is fully functioning.
Regarding FedNow, Brown explained on
his video blog, “This infrastructure bypasses a lot of the need for the current
banking infrastructure, which is the purpose of a central bank digital
currency.”
“Eventually, every single economic participant has an
account directly with the Federal Reserve, the central bank, and then you don’t
need any of the decentralized nodes of the financial system, the previously
existing banks,” said Brown.
“This transforms the purpose of the entire banking system
really into infrastructure for the CBDC,” he continued, noting that it would
“centralize everything under one roof.”
“And once that system is built, once all the kinks are
worked out of the system … then they will have the foundation in place to build
the Gen 2, the Version 2 CBDC on top of it. The only thing that would be left
to do would be to have everybody open an account directly with the Fed.”
Brown believes the foundational CBDC technology is being
rolled out “slowly” and independently of a full CBDC so that it doesn’t “look
like a power grab.”
“Otherwise everyone would reject it. Everyone in their right
minds would look at this thing and say, ‘Absolutely not,’” noted Brown, adding
that the gradual implementation is also needed to test its component parts in
“baby steps” and make sure the CBDC doesn’t fail “flat on [its] face.”
“But make no mistake, a central bank digital currency is
coming and it looks like this new FedNow service is just the launch of the
infrastructure for launching the full version of the CBDC later on,” said
Brown.
Critics have increasingly warned in recent years that CBDCs
enable full-blown tyranny by allowing the government to restrict or even freeze
a citizen’s purchasing power, thereby coercing its constituents into submitting
to its decrees.

The World’s Largest CBDC Trial: A Preview of the Elite’s
Cashless Vision for You
Posted by Administrator
Guest Post by Nick
Giambruno
March 21, 2023
The eNaira is Africa’s first central bank digital currency
(CBDC).
Central bankers, academics, politicians, and an assortment
of elites from over 100 countries hoping to launch their own CBDCs have closely
followed the eNaira.
They used Nigeria—Africa’s largest country by population and
size of its economy—as a trial balloon to test their nefarious plans to
eliminate cash in North America, Europe, and beyond.
Are you concerned about CBDCs?
Then you should be paying attention to what is happening in
Nigeria.
That’s because there’s an excellent chance your government
will reach for the same playbook when they decide to impose CBDCs in your
area—which could be soon.
CBDCs enable all sorts of horrible, totalitarian things.
They allow governments to track and control every penny you
earn, save, and spend. They are a powerful tool for politicians to confiscate
and redistribute wealth as they see fit.
CBDCs will also enable devious social engineering by
allowing governments to punish and reward people in ways they previously
couldn’t.
CBDCs are, without a doubt, an instrument of enslavement.
They represent a quantum leap backward in human freedom.
Unfortunately, they’re coming soon…
Governments will probably mandate CBDCs as the “solution”
when the next real or contrived crisis hits—which is likely not far off.
That’s why you must pay attention to what is happening in
Nigeria. That way, you can know what to expect and take preventative action.
Here are the top five insights from the eNaira.
Insight #1: Don’t Take the Bait… Reject CBDC Incentives
In Nigeria, the government implemented discounts and other
incentives to increase the adoption of eNaira.
In North America and Europe, expect the government to
require CBDCs to receive welfare payments, a potential universal basic income,
so-called “inflation relief checks,” or whatever the next cockamamie scheme is.
Think of these incentives like the cheese in a mousetrap.
Insight #2: Simultaneous Moves To Eliminate Cash
To help boost eNaira adoption, the Nigerian government
announced a plan to remove the legal tender status of various high denomination
bills, rendering them worthless.
According to the World Bank, over 55% of the adult population
in Nigeria does not have a bank account and is dependent on physical cash.
The Nigerian government must have known phasing out cash
would be a disaster for a majority of the population, but they plowed ahead
anyways—so much for democracy.
When your government imposes a CBDC, expect simultaneous
measures to force people out of cash, regardless of the costs.
Those measures could come in many flavors, but I would bet
they would first look to phase out large denomination bills by removing their
legal tender status.
We’re already seeing this happen…
For example, the EU has already phased out the 500 euro
note.
The $100 bill is the largest in circulation in the US, but
that wasn’t always the case. At one point, the US had $500, $1,000, $5,000, and
even $10,000 bills.
The government eliminated these large bills in 1969 under
the pretext of fighting the War on (Some) Drugs.
The $100 bill has been the largest ever since. But it has
far less purchasing power than it did in 1969. Decades of rampant money
printing have debased the dollar. Today, a $100 note buys less than $12 in
1969.
Even though the Federal Reserve has devalued the dollar by
over 88% since 1969, it still refuses to issue notes larger than $100.
With CBDCs on the horizon, I think the US government will
not only never issue another bill higher than $100 but will probably look to
phase out the $100 bill under various pretexts.
Insight #3: Bank Restrictions
Most people think of the money they deposit into the bank as
a personal asset they own.
But that’s not true.
Once you deposit money at the bank, it’s no longer your
property. Instead, it’s the bank’s, and they can pretty much do whatever they
want with it.
What you really own is the bank’s promise to pay you back.
It’s an unsecured liability, which makes you technically and legally a creditor
of the bank.
And since the banking system is intertwined with the
government everywhere, it’s only prudent to expect governments to place more
restrictions on bank accounts as CBDCs debut.
This is exactly what happened in Nigeria.
Cash withdrawal limits and debit card transaction
restrictions were imposed, among other measures. In addition, capital controls
made it challenging to send money out of the country.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see the forced conversion of bank
deposits into the eNaira—at an unfavorable rate.
Here’s the bottom line. Expect all sorts of restrictions—and
possible confiscations—to be imposed on bank accounts when a CBDC is released.
Insight #4: Rising Inflation
Amid the eNaira rollout, Nigeria is experiencing some of the
highest inflation levels in its history.
This is not surprising. CBDCs make it even easier for the
government to debase the currency.
So, it’s reasonable to expect more inflation when CBDCs come
to town.
Insight #5: Social Unrest
In another predictable development, frustrated Nigerians
took to the streets over the government’s actions to restrict cash and bank
accounts. There was a violent scramble to exchange old notes before the
government deemed them worthless. Riots broke out in several locations.
There’s an excellent chance the destructive restrictions
imposed alongside CBDCs could create social unrest anywhere.
Conclusion
To summarize, here are the top five insights from Nigeria’s
CBDC experience.
Insight #1: Don’t Take the Bait… Reject CBDC Incentives
Insight #2: Simultaneous Moves To Eliminate Cash
Insight #3: Bank Restrictions
Insight #4: Rising Inflation
Insight #5: Social Unrest
As CBDCs come to your neighborhood, you now know what to
expect.
Governments will probably mandate CBDCs as the “solution”
when the next real or contrived crisis hits—which is likely not far off.
There’s an excellent chance more inflation and financial
chaos is coming soon.
