Currencies are the lifeblood of trade and the economy; if a currency
fails, the entire economy fails. Yet, most people rarely think about
the health or buying power of the money in their pocket. People don’t
research how often currencies actually falter and how common it is for
inflation or stagflation to strike nations. They just assume that the
money they have will be as useful tomorrow as it is today. They also
assume that money will never change in a dramatic way.

This lack of interest in how money works is likely due to the fact
that people are not taught how their money is created. It’s not
discussed in schools, the truth is avoided in colleges and the
mainstream news rarely mentions it. People think our government and
treasury handles all of that, but the reality is that our government
does NOT create our money; at least, it’s not in charge of the
process. Central bankers are, and they operate from a
“quasi-independent” position.

Former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan once openly admitted
that the central bank “answers to no one” and does not follow orders
from the government. They do what they want when they want.

This attitude should concern you because it is a long held argument
among critics of the Fed that they are an unelected body with ultimate
power to destroy the economy and the dollar at will if they want to.
Sure, the US President gets to “choose” the next successive chairman,
from a list of candidates that is given to him by the Fed, of course.
And Congress could conceivably call for a full audit of the Fed’s
financial actions and policies, but they never do because it would
never be allowed by the banks or their political partners. The central
bank is the most powerful institution in our nation by far. They are
completely unaccountable and uncontrollable.

There is only ever the question of public reaction; this is the one
thing the bankers fear. They are afraid that the public will learn who
they are and what the central bank does. They are afraid that their
actions and policies will anger the public enough to inspire
rebellion. They are afraid that the torches and pitchforks will one
day come out. So, they divert blame as much as possible for the damage
that they cause.

Apologists for the Fed claim that the central bank only creates money
from thin air when the government asks them to, and so it’s the
politicians that are to blame. This is a lie. The politicians go
begging to the Fed for more money, and the Fed usually obliges while
also creating tens of trillions of dollars on the side for their
friends in the corporate world.

For example, only ONE TIME in recent history has a Fed policy action
been investigated by the Government Accounting Office. This audit was
of a single set of bailouts enacted by the bank, and it was only
allowed because the public was starting to get wise to the bank’s
activities (thanks to Ron Paul’s presidential campaign). The audit was
designed to shut people up. But, what was found was startling, and so
the media swept the info under the rug. Over $16 trillion in fiat
money had been conjured by the Fed in the span of a few years, while
the original claim was that mere billions had been created for the
bailouts starting in 2008.

Keep in mind that this audit was limited only to a particular set of
bailouts; it was not a full audit of the Fed’s entire operation. We
truly have no idea how many dollars the central bank has created out
of thin air since the credit crash began. We can only reference the
Fed’s own data, which is probably not very honest.

The only thing that limits central banks from total monetary dominion
is the fact that physical dollar holdings and even digital bank
transfers can be accounted for. Once those dollars are out in the
ether there’s not much the central banks can do to hide them and
eventually, inflation will reveal the truth.

The bankers need a new system which allows them total control of every
single penny from creation to circulation. They want the ability to
make money appear or disappear in real time. More than that, they want
the ability to track every single dollar, including who has them and
what they are using them for. They want to be able to micromanage
trade, and thus achieve a financial totalitarian empire.

Enter Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) based on blockchain technology…

Ever wonder why the mainstream media has been hyping up
cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin for the past few years? Ever wonder why
major banks like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan have been pumping
billions of dollars into crypto infrastructure and research in private
while at the same time bashing crypto in the news? Ever wonder why
central banks have been dismissing crypto as dangerous while at the
same time developing their own cryptocurrencies?

It is because they are easing the masses into the notion of a fully
digital trade system in which physical money no longer exists. Central
banks might act like they are suspicious of crypto – but in reality
they LOVE it.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), also known as the
“central bank of central banks,” recently released a survey which
states that at least 81 central banks around the world have been
accelerating plans to release their own cryptocurrencies. Many excuses
are given, including the covid pandemic, but they were actually
working on these digital products well before the pandemic began.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been talking about
developing a global cryptocurrency system tied to their Special
Drawing Rights basket for years. Numerous globalist institutions have
been pursuing the technology and it’s nothing new. What IS new,
though, is banks openly admitting to the plan.

The BIS, one of the most clandestine globalist organizations that
still has a public face, has even admitted that it is developing CBDC
tech. And what this tells me is that we are very close to a sea-change
in our economic environment. Generally, criminals will not reveal
their criminality unless they think it’s too late for anyone to do
anything about it. With stagflation hitting our economy hard this year
we have to question if the behavior of the banks suggests much worse
conditions to come?

The public would never readily accept CBDCs as money unless their
existing money lost most of its buying power and the current system
was in the gutter. This is how new levels of empire are born; a major
crisis allows for the elites to consolidate control while the people
are distracted by their own private disasters. The big picture is
changed while each person is terrified by their own small picture
calamity.

In the US, markets and mainstream economists are just praying that the
Fed capitulates on interest rate hikes, because they think this would
save stocks from collapse. However, even if the Fed did this there
would still be the problem if inflation/stagflation. If they don’t
back off of rate hikes (I predict they will not capitulate or reverse
course anytime soon) then there will be recession on top of price
inflation. There’s no way that the current speed of rate hikes is
going to slow down inflation from tens of trillions of fiat dollars
flowing through the global economy. As I’ve warned for a long time
now, the Fed has created a Catch-22 scenario in which the economy
crashes no matter which policy decision they make.

But what if this was all by design?

With the introduction of CBDCs in the wake of a stagflationary crash,
the central banks could call for a new global network of currencies to
“stop such a crisis from ever happening again.” The BIS and the IMF
will be ready and waiting with the SDR basket, or something very
similar. The bankers will remove all physical money over a short
period of time and a global digital system will take over. All privacy
in trade will be gone, except for those people involved in barter,
black markets and commodities.

The advent of CBDCs could also mean that money and economic
participation will become privileges, not rights. Digital trade could
be tied to a social credit system, much like the one that exists in
communist China.

Want access to your checking and savings accounts? Better not say
anything critical of the establishment, or you could be reported by a
neighbor or stranger by cell phone app and have your money disappear
in seconds. The onus will then be on you to prove that you are “loyal”
and get access back. You are guilty until proven innocent. Maybe you
don’t want to take the next untested mRNA vaccine for the next dubious
pandemic threat? You’ll have little choice if your ability to function
economically is controlled digitally.

This is the world we are facing if we allow central banks to fully
digitize money and trade. It is a nightmare environment of complete
authoritarianism. The public at large is mostly unaware of the
incredible danger inherent in CBDCs and they must be educated before
the current crisis grows so large that they can no longer focus on
anything other than their own problems.
