I agree, we can't stop it. As it's programmable, we will be coerced into vaccines and told what and where we can eat and shop. For people like you and me, we will be fined or punished for speaking out. It's going to be a nightmare.
This is why I keep warning, that once CBDC is implemented, we are done, where freedoms are concerned. I read a very good article about a year or two ago, describing China's credit score system and it just solidified what I was thinking back then. The WEF was seriously talking about this back in 2016...no surprise there, right?
I wanted to link this all together with a few other things, like illegal seizures and forfeitures, where the government already...literally steals your money today. The FBI's takes millions form normal citizens and routinely keeps it...no warrant, no charges and no real probable cause except that cash is normally used for illicit dealings. There are also laws that give the DHS similar illegal and tyrannical abilities. My point would be, that as easily as they are stealing money now, when they have to physically show up to do it, a digital wallet, will be emptied via a few mouse clicks, due to a "suspicion of subversive acts" tag, being affixed to your your digital profile.
Here is the updated article on the Chinese system...toward the bottom, it discusses, how it affects the "everyday stuff".
Thank you so much for laying this out and explaining it so clearly. Are commercial and local banks and their shareholders going to be against it then, it seems they will disappear as businesses? On the satire part, I saw this, which is a variation on their theme [warning it was quite disturbing] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrEUzKTt7j0
Gary...thanks for the video...I laughed and snorted coffee...that's a great video! It will be saved and shared!
Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts.
From all I have read, the banks probably will still function as they do now, but maybe in a diminished capacity. The Fed (as you probably know, are literally the banks) will be baked into this CBDC, in some way shape or form. They are considered a stake holder, in the Great Reset model, so I doubt they really go away.
There are a thousand different "next new things" happening simultaneously, that make me think of a coming dystopian reality, but this one, for me, is the foundation stone. It will be such a complete and controlled societal shift, that people will either be overwhelmed and just accept it or they will be outraged and rebel. That rebellion will come in the form of bartering...no one is going to fight a war over this one, even though, it may be the one (aside from the scamdemic), that should rise to that level.
We've been groomed for this future though, decades of hollywood and futurist stories and narratives, have made this a shiny, fun, fast, exciting, meaningful future...that we have generationally chased. Few clearly and honestly explained this side of it.
In the stories that do show the control of a totalitarian "system", the protagonists always win and rebuild...what they don't show is that long arduous process of rebuilding...who's going to pay $25 for a history lesson, right? Even if they did, few would heed it.
Yes, I too am seeing a dystopian future, and have been trying to come with things we can at an individual and local level to head it off https://garysharpe.substack.com/p/how-to-avoid-a-hybrid-orwellian-huxleyian - but from what you are saying once CBDC are accepted, it is basically game over forever...
I think there are multiple layers to all these societal shifts, though.
On an abstract macro level, the system is an entity all it's own. It progresses and evolves, regardless of the individuals that are subject to it. On a micro level, we operate within these systems and can affect them, but we'll always be subject to it, in some way, whether it is directly (acceptance and use of it) or indirectly (resisting, avoidance, alternatives, off grid).
Is this CBDC a game changer forever...it is, only until the next change comes...as with many things in history. I would imagine when the barter system was being subjugated, by a centralized currency system, there was concern. You no longer had the ability to barter your own goods and services...negotiating their values. You now had to accept what the system decided and mandated. The alternative, was and still is, the black market.
However, progress was inevitable, no matter what the response, from the people who were being affected.
CBDC is the next "logical to the system" progressive step, in world currencies. If it were that impartial, there would be no problem...the Star Trek model...altruistic, benign, unoppressive.
However, as we know it is not.
As with all things, centralized power and control, opens the door for tyranny and oppression.
The system's goal is efficiency, regulation, control, accountability, replication. These are much different than the goals of the masses, where currency and personal wealth is concerned. We want value, security, privacy, autonomy, freedom and a rise in the value of our good, services or held commodities.
That last part is probably another substack article, but there has been times in history, where those values were mandated.
This CBDC is the foundation of their endgame. It enables the digital prison for Global Gulag 2.0.
Because it strips anonymity, everywhere (Internet 2.0 will definitely NOT be anonymous). And solves so many challenges TPTB have. Need a bail in, or just want one? Sure, just hit a button and every citizen loses X%. Gold bars in family vaults, as ever, will be immune.
The control it will facilitate is total. Coercion will have no limits. It will be 1984 and every dystopian book * 1000000.
And they will get it in the same way tyrants have always done it. In my country they are trumpeting the 'black economy' as the villain which CBDCs will resolve. A rounding error at worst. Edge cases will be amplified in the fake-media, until we believe that Big Brother knows best and the CBDC is good and proper. The playbook is well known, and it has brought them within reach of the goal.
They will minimise it, make it seem like no big deal. Remind us that we already gave up using cash so 'what difference does it make' (HillaryC-Style). Difference is, one can choose at any moment to use cash, now. We have that freedom. It would be best to use it, or to resume using it, before we lose it.
So the question is, can we trust the same TPTB who have so badly managed every single thing (ever), to have total control over each and every one of us? The same people culling our fellow humans as we type? To give up every kind of autonomy? To evil?
Or is this the hill we'll finally turn and fight on?
I don't know if trusting those Powers That Be, really comes into it, for at least half of us. We don't, especially after the past 3 years. I think the conundrum is navigating that CBDC/total control world.
Fighting it (CBDC) will take diverse thinking. We've only ever had a few methods...black market, barter and precious metals. I'm thinking that there will be a confiscation of those precious metals, from the peasants only. Their reasoning will be to prevent funding "terrorism" and subversion of the CBDC.
I also think that private blockchain systems, will be banned, by governments, because of the unregulated/free nature of the technology. Or they will co-opted them and ultimately have proxy monitoring/control, via these "free" platforms - controlled currency opposition.
With this one issue - CBDC - the hill is a cliff, because of it's ability to touch all aspects of everyday life.
Unless there is some sort of meltdown, EMP event, etc., we aren't turning it back. There may be rumblings of an electronic "pushback/reset", but those will be tempered with reasoning..."if you do that, millions will suffer when the system crashes...no heat...no water...no food...no jobs...do you want people to die...you will be responsible" That's the psy-op that has been used for centuries, to control rebellions and prevent the removal/persecution of corrupt leaders.
Of course, there are times where someone arises, that disregards that guilt operation and tears it all down anyway, letting the chips fall where they may.
Here is our big hurdle - I think I saw that you read my post on redefining generations - those new woke-sters being churned out every year, see CBDC as tokens in a video game. They are all in, in a digital currency world. This is normal to them, it makes sense and the stimulus deposits are fun...free money. They have no concept of a fiat model...and honestly they could care less...the fedcoins come every Monday...and they can buy Starbucks and Mcnuggets...so who cares boomer???
Stupid example (as in the people in this example are stupid) - consider the mindset and mentality of those who'd line up outside an apple store...days in advance of a phone release. Obviously irrational behavior, but it was shown as a badge of honor and virtue, on some level.
CBDC, will fit easily into a world with that mentality. They (not just kids) have been groomed to see this as futuristic (which it is), fun, glamourous and a form of LARPing...they are like the characters in the cool, dystopian hollywood blockbusters...more empty prestige and importance.
This engineered fantasy mentality, has been being built for decades. They have created a push button society...no problem solving, building, growing...just a reset button or look to the system to procure necessities. When you have a societal retardation on this scale, bartering is a confusing unknown. These wokensteins understand exchanging game tokens...it's cool, but actually making something (food) that they could trade for something else...that's not cool and stupid..."dude I can get that at the store with my digital wallet. Even if they understood the control underpinning this new CBDC system, they don't care. It's easier and more fun to keep taking the blue pills and wait for your Monday morning fedcoin deposit.
Those addled masses, exponentially increasing annually, are the foot soldiers on the top of that cliff, throwing boulders and hot oil down on us. We need to pause a second and ask "so how are we going to fight this CBDC thing??"
This is a constant, thought stream for me...what's the new alternative, the new method of resistance...answers are coming slow. I am a firm believer in taking lessons from history though...so preparation is top of the mental list.
Great comment. Thanks for choosing to join and weigh in!!
Thank you very much.
Your hard work, clear explanation and help are greatly appreciated.
Wishing you well.
Thank you, I'm glad it made sense. The Story from the Blaze article, tied it all together for me.
Isn't progress great??
Progress is certainly great. I seem to be progressing to the grave at an amazing pace!
Wishing you a good weekend.

Absolutely Dave!!

Nixon's wage & price freezes were one https://www.cato.org/commentary/remembering-nixons-wage-price-controls
and Rome did the same to their demise.
