I kept pointing my "Blue No Matter Who" friends to the official Biden White House announcement about their development of a CBDC with the Federal Reserve, but none of them would respond other than "Oh, I'm sure it's nothing". They did not get it, and could not connect the dots between covid, the vaccine, global debt, and this central bank digital currency agenda.

Here was that link which has been removed but you can find it with the Way Back Machine: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2022/09/16/fact-sheet-white-house-releases-first-ever-comprehensive-framework-for-responsible-development-of-digital-assets/

Meanwhile, just yesterday, Trump made an EO regarding "Digital Financial Technology" that at least mentions CBDCs as a liability to freedom, and something to watch out for:

(v) taking measures to protect Americans from the risks of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), which threaten the stability of the financial system, individual privacy, and the sovereignty of the United States, including by prohibiting the establishment, issuance, circulation, and use of a CBDC within the jurisdiction of the United States.

That said, I ultimately agree with you Mattias – some kind of CBDC situation is probably going to come along, much sooner than we'd like. In one of his town hall (pre-election) rallies in Pennsylvania, Elon stated his enthusiasm for UBI which I imagine necessarily requires a CBDC architecture (and regardless, is fundamentally not money and enslaving of humanity). Elon makes his statement at the 24:00 minute:second mark...

The way I see it from a strictly monetary policy perspective: nobody can stop the global debt bubble, and when that pops there will certainly be a totalitarian response to address the unavoidable austerity that will result from such a burst. Trump perhaps knows about the global debt crisis, or not, but we've borrowed from the future (for the past hundred years) and now those chickens are coming home to roost, big time.

End of the day, it's a good time to take Christian gospel to heart – no populist prince or technological horseman is going to save us; work on your soul starting today.
