where we're giving so much control and power into the hands of ever fewer people over our lives and billions of people.
Again, if everyone is good like the majority of people and the controllers, the elites, the central planners are good, it's not an issue.
But that's not what human history teaches us.
And human nature we know is different.
Most people actually, once they're given a lot of power, that comes with temptations of power.
And most can't handle those temptations.
And they give in.
And then that's when power gets abused.
That's why Lord Acton, a British political...
observer and advisor to prime ministers concluded power corrupts most people get corrupted by power they can't handle power and absolute power corrupts absolutely we're talking about absolute power in the hands of central planners if we allow the central bank digital currency to be imposed and um and the central planners um
will have this absolute power, including, you know, of course they have already monetary power, but they will have the tools to deploy this in every detail to micromanage us.
That is a new dimension of power and effectively includes fiscal policy
Because ultimately everything becomes controlled by the central bank.
So now you could still say, well, we have some politicians, they meet for parliamentary votes and they decide budgets.
Well, all that will become obsolete because everything will be controlled by the central bank.
This is what the politicians don't realize, that the central bank digital currency is the first step by the central planners, the monetary central planners to take over everything.
So the dangers are just so manifold that it's quite clear that we have to stop this.
So, I mean, this is really the big scenario.
And that's where we see forces pushing as internationally power gets ever more centralized.
Despite this being the biggest lesson of the 20th century, there's not a good idea to constantly have more power in the hands of fewer and fewer people.
