Dark (New) on Nostr: This interview with G. Edward Griffin, author of “The Creature From Jekyll ...
This interview with G. Edward Griffin, author of “The Creature From Jekyll Island”, has really got me thinking. I’d love to get some people’s opinions on some of the questions I’ve posed below.
Given that the majority of people in my country (Canada) and the US are still:
1) convinced that the right politician is going to be able to permanently stop the slow march towards totalitarianism and the establishment of a digital control grid
2) getting their news and education from collectivist-controlled sources and schools
3) disinterested in “what money is” and oblivious to the implications of the impending loss of a widely accepted currency that can be physically held and spent for the goods and services required to survive
I think it behooves those of us who know better to really start thinking about how we and our children are going to operate in a world where:
1) our main earnings are paid to us in a currency that is not held, but is purely digital and programmable
2) general access to information services, trade, commerce, healthcare and even basic internet access are subject to possession of a digital ID and an acceptable social credit score.
I’ve been watching this “creep” occur for three decades. The rate at which people are pulling their heads out of their asses and waking up to these dangers is currently too slow to stop it.
My questions to those who take the time to read this:
What are you going to do when all banks switch over to the new system, and your employer, retailers, and most of your normie friends and relatives are only using a CBDC, even if it is called by another name to get around the politics of it?
1) What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and received and email informing you that in 30 days all of your accounts are being forked over to such a system?
2) As a Bitcoiner, how do you plan on obtaining the things you need for you and your family to survive without access to the internet or vendors who widely accept Bitcoin?
I don’t have the answers. All I’m doing is focusing on laying up supplies and slowly increasing my self reliance. But I’m doing it on land owned by the bank.
I don’t see anything other than a prolonged general strike slowing this down. But will we ever have a critical mass of people to participate, who understand the cliff that we are racing towards, soon enough to make a difference?
Sorry for the black pill on a Sunday, but I’ve been thinking about this all night. As I post from a permissioned internet connection.
