Globalists and central banks around the world are demanding countries adopt Communist China’s financial surveillance state initiatives to control the masses through Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).

During the Biden regime, the Federal Reserve developed and tested a CBDC. Now the Fed is waiting for President Trump to be replaced before foisting this financial surveillance and totalitarian control tool on America.

Congress MUST stand up to the globalist central banks by passing S 1124, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. The U.S. House already passed the same bill (HR 1919), and now the Senate must act. If we face resistance, the backup plan is to attach this bill to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which must soon be passed. Now is our opportunity to finally end this CBDC threat.

BAN CBDCs NOW! Fax the entire Senate and we’ll send you a FREE copy of our book, Marxist Money: Central Bank Digital Currencies and the Theft of Freedom.

Central Bank Digital Currencies are designed for one singular purpose — ultimate control over law-abiding citizens — their purchases, actions, and movements. The central banks of the world are now pushing these technologies in their respective countries.

If America becomes a cashless society and implements a Central Bank Digital Currency, the government will have absolute control over every person in America. The consequences would be disastrous.

CBDCs are programmable digital dollars issued by the government. Once fully implemented, CBDCs are designed to replace cash money and make the government your direct bank — watching and controlling your every financial transaction.

In Communist China, the government uses the CBDCs to “budget” for the people — dictating that certain amounts be used for specific purposes like health care or food. Once allotted, citizens cannot use those funds for any other purpose. Furthermore, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) can and has simply deleted the bank accounts and funds of political dissenters, particularly Christians.

The problem isn’t just in China. Central bankers are demanding this level of communist control worldwide.

A CBDC is the ultimate form of control. Once implemented, there is no escape. You will not be able to buy or sell without government approval.

In a recorded phone call, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde admitted that the EU’s CBDC would monitor and control purchases and payments as low as 300 euros. In fact, Lagarde said that the central government bank’s failure to monitor even small transactions would be “dangerous.”

“We are considering whether for very small amounts, anything that is around €300 [or] €400, we could have a mechanism where there is zero control, but that could be dangerous,” Lagarde said in a recorded call.

In Israel, residents are “allowed” to have 1,000 shekels (about 275 U.S. dollars) to spend “privately” without being tracked under their newly issued CBDC.

In India, where the Indian CBDC has already gone into effect, there is no privacy at all. The Indian government is considering allowing citizens to “delete” a certain number of transactions from their accounts. However, the transactions are only deleted commercially, meaning the government can still see the transaction.

And now Central Bankers want this communistic control over Americans. If a CBDC goes into place, radical leftists like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could demand that a certain percentage of a person’s income be allotted to “green energy,” which could only be spent on approved “green” purchases. Mega-billionaire turned totalitarian climate change crusader Bill Gates could promote his fake lab meats under the guise of reducing CO2 by restricting Americans from spending money on real meat.

And folks like Rep. Jasmine “Reparations Now” Crockett (D-TX) and her ilk could work to ensure that Americans are not allowed to spend their dollars with companies that do not align with radical racial Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) or LGBTQ “preferences” as set by the government.

And of course, the same tyrants who shut down churches and arrested pastors for exercising their First Amendment right to religious freedom five years ago would have loved nothing better than to delete the accounts of the churches and pastors who defied them.

We cannot allow rabid leftists to turn America’s financial privacy, and therefore, our very freedom to globalist bankers' intent on complete control of every person.

Right now, the Senate is poised to vote on S 1124, the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. This bill would PERMANENTLY BAN CBDCs, and we must pass it NOW before Democrats have a chance to retake Congress next fall.
