A former member of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) Shadow Commission is blowing the whistle on the globalist plan to control humanity via Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). After years at the ECB, as well as decades advising central banks around the globe, Richard A. Werner’s warnings cannot be ignored. Read on to learn what the global central bankers have been plotting, and what we must do NOW to protect American liberty. — Mat

Richard A. Werner knows the central banker’s world intimately, which makes his recent warning to the world all the more terrifying. As a former central banker himself, as well as adviser to the world’s central banks, Werner is blowing the whistle on the central bankers’ CBDC plans to control humanity through digital programmable “dollars.”
It would take most of this email to list Professor Richard A. Werner’s credentials. A graduate of the London School of Economics and current professor at Lincare College, Oxford, Dr. Werner has taught for decades on monetary policy, economics, and international banking at many of the world’s most prestigious universities, including Oxford University, Moscow State University, Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany, and Sofia University in Tokyo, just to name a few. A former managing director at Bear Sterns, Werner has also acted as adviser to Japan’s Finance Ministry, the Development Bank of Japan, and the European Union.
But perhaps most relevant to our discussion today is Werner’s experience as a member of the European Central Bank Shadow Council — a group of leading monetary policy experts who meet regularly to assess the appropriateness of European Central Bank policy.
A CBDC is not “normal money in the normal sense,” Werner says. Instead, “it’s a control tool.”
“The goal is to have this retail CBDC which is not really money anymore,” Werner says. “Because you lose control over your purchasing power, your spending, subject to the decrees of the central planners.”
“When you fit in and you make the ‘right’ decisions, that’s OK,” Werner continues, referring to obedience to central bankers’ dictates. “But anything outside their prescribed scope will not be possible.”
The global central bankers have already passed the point of CBDC creation, and now they are working on implementation, according to Werner. “The usual game plan would have been to do what central banks in many countries have been working on for many decades, which is to create boom bust cycles and economic crisis. And then in the crisis, you say, ‘Oh, here’s a new idea that is a solution to the crisis,’ That’s how they’ve been operating.”
Now, according to Werner, the central bankers are using the hysteria and economic downturn caused by the COVID crisis to implement CBDCs.
While the central banks have, so far, only released “wholesale” CBDCs (a CBDC to be traded among banks), the end goal is to implement a “retail” CBDC upon individuals, replacing traditional money with digital programmable dollars that can be controlled by the central bankers.
Werner says the central banks are already floating ideas about how to overcome resistance to CBDC adoption. The central bankers (and a bunch of Silicon Valley billionaires like Bill Gates), are working to implement “universal basic income” and other government money giveaways as methods to entice people to adopt CBDCs for personal “retail” use.
Once in use, the central bankers can use CBDCs to dictate how citizens are allowed to spend their own hard-earned money.
We already know that Joe Biden and his radical leftist friends want to dictate what kind of stove you use, what kind of car you drive, and what foods they believe you should eat. It doesn’t take much to imagine that under such a regime, a CBDC would be used to “encourage” the purchase of an electric car or “sustainable” cricket meal protein, while discouraging or even outright preventing the purchase of gasoline-powered pickup trucks or ground beef.
The Communist Party of China (CCP) has already unleashed similar extreme controls on its own citizens. At present, the CCP budgets Chinese citizens’ bank accounts for them. Only a certain amount of a citizen’s own money can be used for health care, food, or travel, etc. If the citizen spends more on gasoline than the CCP dictates, that person’s payment card is simply rejected at the cash register, regardless of whether the person has adequate funds in their bank account.
According to Werner, these sorts of plans to control the details of people’s lives are not simply a function of communist parties, but rather are a desire of central bankers worldwide, and they are being implemented before our very eyes.
Right now, Congress is considering three bills to protect our financial freedom from Joe Biden and his globalist central banker pals’ CBDC schemes. HR 1122, HR 3712, and S 887 seek to STOP Biden from implementing the CBDCs he ordered the Federal Reserve to create.
