If the banks can't deliver your money, if they were to collapse and

the federal government were to say, don't worry, your account is insured, but we're going to pay you in central bank digital currency.

You're going to have to take your money in central bank digital currency.

You can spend it just like real money, but you're going to get it in this form.

It seems to me that that in one fell swoop puts us into a potentially tyrannical scenario.

because at the point that you have accepted central bank digital currency, now it's basically programmable money that can be cut off.

You can be debanked.

You can be told what you're allowed to spend it on and what you're not allowed to spend it on.

So the question is, if we rerun the pandemic, let's say, but all of our money is in CBDC, how likely is it that people like you and me get

to put information into the public square that allows people to make higher quality decisions, to avoid the shots, to avail themselves of alternative... Very unlikely.

That's what I think too.

Elon buying Twitter carves out an exception where we can still talk there.

It's not perfect, but it's so far ahead of anything else that it does create a place you can go for information that is not being filtered by the regime.

But, at the point, if it is true that we can be forced into a CBDC, and I believe the plan to force us into a CBDC exists whether the scenario I'm painting is plausible or not.

But if they can get us into a regime where we have to accept CBDCs as the means of exchange,

then it seems to me we are in a much worse position to fend off tyranny of all sorts, including medical tyranny, because the ability to punish us for wrong think becomes extremely powerful.

Yeah.

Right.

It's apocalyptically bad if you understand what the West is based on.

Yeah.
