by Josh Stylman, The Free Thought Project<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n It\u2019s seemed evident for a while that the current\u00a0<\/a>fiat monetary system is, at best, unstable. At worst, it\u2019s a Ponzi scheme whose time has expired. If that\u2019s the case, I suspect the central bankers and 0.1% know this and might be prepared to usher in the new system before the old one collapses on itself \u2013 even as they loot it on the way down with the most significant wealth transfer in human history.<\/p>\n TRUTH LIVES on at\u00a0https:\/\/sgtreport.tv\/<\/a><\/p>\n To anyone who pays attention to these trends, it seems evident that\u00a0Central Bank Digital Currency<\/a>\u00a0(CBDC) will be that new system.<\/p>\n Every indication is that CBDC\u2019s arrival is imminent. Yesterday,\u00a0several global banks announced a partnership with the NY Federal Reserve<\/a>\u00a0to pilot digital dollars. Given the ubiquity of credit\/debit cards, payment apps, and other online payment systems, digital money has been bound to happen for some time. The risk isn\u2019t the electronic part, that\u2019s inevitable \u2013 it\u2019s the fact that a central bank will oversee the digital currency.<\/p>\n From my vantage point, it\u2019s impossible to overstate the risk presented by CBDC. Whether it\u2019s a utopian vision based on good intentions or a sinister plot to crush our sovereignty, the result may be the same: control. A Central Bank Digital Currency has all the downsides of fiat money, plus the added layers of surveillance and programmability overseen by the state.<\/p>\n So many people on\u00a0Team Reality<\/a>\u00a0have likely felt like dissidents over the last few years simply for challenging anything beyond the herd mentality. Asking questions or speaking against the narrative about topics including the likely origins of the covid virus, usefulness of PCR, risk to most of the population, benefits of early treatment, advantages of natural immunity, safety and efficacy of vaccines, pros and cons of masks\/lockdowns, and the utility of vax passports created an environment where people were stigmatized, alienated or outright censored. Imagine a monetary system with features baked in to socially engineer how we live. For example:<\/p>\n If CBDC ultimately becomes the new monetary system, its core features will make it so that world governments will no longer need something like a global health crisis to print money or close society. Lines of code can shape our behavior and ensure we\u2019re forced to stay home. The entire platform will be designed to expel labor that is\u00a0no longer deemed necessary<\/a>. While I initially believed the state-led pharmacological interventions were an isolated, acute threat in this era, it\u2019s become evident they were simply one tentacle in a much larger beast. Whatever forces are insinuating this direction on the world (looking your way, Davos<\/a>), it\u2019s revealed itself to be unrelenting in its pursuit of perpetuating fear and power.<\/p>\n\n
