The Digital Dollar is Our Death Knell
CBDCs are coming. They will be a Skinner Box and an invisible prison.
There is a storm coming. We must do everything in our power to stop it.
At the center of this storm lies a push by government authorities around the world to adopt central bank digital currencies (CBDCs)—including a “digital dollar.” Should they succeed, we will live in a world of financial surveillance.
Imagine allowing authorities—elected or not—to track and review all your transactions. Such includes anonymous donations to non-profit organizations whose causes you believe in. No financial contribution or transaction would be off-limits.
But the threats don't stop there.
With everyone's financial lives available to authorities in a Central Financial Panopticon, we will be disturbingly exposed.
Of course, we would also be utterly helpless during internet outages, blackouts, or any other situation in which you would have no access to funds. Without connectivity, we would be unable to make purchases, pay bills, or withdraw physical cash.
Worse, centralized financial authorities would gain the power to explicitly control what you can and cannot buy or sell. What if only government-approved items and spending limits were permissible under the digital dollar regime?
There is also the looming potential for centralized financial powers to become synchronized with an invidious "social credit" system like that already implemented in China. Those who run afoul of ever-shifting government standards could find their spending curtailed as punishment, or authorities could review their finances to deny them access to government services.
At any time and without recourse, these financial overseers could also move to freeze or confiscate some or all of your funds. With our financial lives contained within their panopticon, those we trust least with power would be able to cut us off from our own money with just a few keystrokes. Even if there were de jure provisions to fight back, there would likely be no de facto recourse when the goons blocked your transaction or froze your funds.
Every personal transaction will be an open book. That means a financial surveillance state is being constructed right under our noses, creating a Skinner Box with house arrest features. Those who fail to please whatever authorities are in charge at a given moment could find themselves on ice.
They will woo us into adoption: Here’s your Federal Reserve Account. Here’s $200 in funds to get you started. Welcome to the Digital Dollar!
This dark scenario is not inevitable, but almost.
We must shut the door on the digital dollar before it's too late. By doing so, we are preserving not just economic freedom for future generations but also the personal freedom that controlling our own resources makes possible.
Authorities will pinky promise that we need to worry about nothing and that our rights will be protected. When have authorities ever honored such promises? Authorities promising to protect your rights are like wolves promising to protect your livestock.
The looming CBDC—the digital dollar—will guarantee our future abuse. We cannot just let it happen—not after so much has already been taken.
What little is left is at stake.
Max, Would be happy to share notes on what I'm tracking. Ping me if you want to review/add.
Someone has to start publishing active polls on the issues of our day.
The US president election is a good place to start:
Trump, Biden, Rishi, Jones, Smith, Kuldeep, Newcolm, Pelosi, Johnson, Rense, Abbot, Farve,… Putin, King Charles, Netanyahu, Merkel, Iotola Komani, Lincoln, Ben Carson,
Graham…
Take the most egregious situation, law, grant, program, non competitive bid or tax policy you can find and parse it with AI into questions regarding its particulars.
Should the direct election of Senators be returned to the States?
What about abortion? Should it be legal? How so? The text of the laws is readily available and everyone has an opinion.
Or the new Treaty with the World Health Organization… where a very knowledgeable someone has your best interests in his heart and mind… Should he not be able to tell you what pharmaceuticals to uptake?
What about sexuality confused children ? Should decent, God fearing people be allowed to deny them their life saving genital reassignment health treatments?
The uniform tariff and tax schedule is where the rubber really meets the road, but it is probably too abstract for most. Try it if you like, it goes to infinity.
Probably the worst situation is the CBDC. Do you really want every one of your financial transactions to be monitored and effectively aproved?
Post: *The Questionnaire* on your web site.
Charge the voters, your patrons, a $ fee to vote on it.
Have the same AI take the patrons demographics and quantify their base of knowledge; education, reading, business experience, children raised, taxes paid and post that too.
One Questionnaire should earn you many thousands of dollars per month and AI can do it for you!
Just think about it… one survey a month at $10,000 net profit times ten and you are making over a million dollars per year. That’s pretty good.
Have the AI post the results in real time and send the results to the respective councilman, commissioner, judge, congressman, state representative, senator and governor!!
Use the power of consensus to demand that negative policies be vacated.
The hope here is the representative will, in an effort to keep his job, comply with the wishes of his constituents.

It is obvious to everyone....
Representative democracy has failed.
And, since the authority for government comes from the Citizens, the Citizens now have to stand up and inform their representatives that they, having broken their Oaths and failed in their Duty to the office in which they were entrusted, are in Breach and now must Vacate the building.
As sapient human beings made by God and in the image of God we, the Citizens, realize that our national sovereignty is so important and our sacred posterity is so dear that we must reconsider our government and the way we use it to “promote the general welfare, and provide for the common defense.”
With a new understanding we will also be able to accommodate citizen proposals for program and infrastructure maintenance and improvements.
Because Citizenship, true citizenship, is not about writing letters to elected officials or voting some good person into office.
Citizenship is about the Ratification or Annulment of each line of every law, rule, regulation and supreme court decision on the books or that is on the docket waiting to be turned into law, policy and taxes.
Nothing short of this is going to ameliorate the situation for the body politic.
During the 1992 Presidential campaign, Ross Perot observed that: "a general lack of accountability among elected officials and those in the bureaucracy is the one specific reason that the people of America suffered…. and our only means of correction is to inspect their work and hold them accountable.”
Mr. Perot went on to note that this can easily be done with computer programs.
He called it: THE ELECTRONIC TOWNHALL.
“It is only logical that it will become our Fourth Branch of Government”, he said.
Objective reality:
the voting members of the US Congress and the State Legislatures do not have enough time to read, comprehend or debate any of the laws they vote on. They vote 100 times a day, every five minutes, while in session.
Approximate absolute facts:
Every day that the Congress and Legislatures are in session 100
new bills are introduced and distributed.
The representatives are given two weeks to review the laws before they are brought up for The Vote.
Two weeks into the session they begin voting on the Laws that were previously introduced, while newer laws are introduced.
Many laws are in excess of two thousand pages.
The arithmetic demonstrates that the elected representative does not have the time to even read the name of the Law much less the content of it.
Since the Representatives cannot evaluate 200 thousand pages of law speak per day, they vote the way their advisors tell them to vote.
Thus, they have all forfeited their delegated obligation to represent us.
Representative government is obsolete. It does not work for us.
And the only way to prevent these over worked and fallible people from making even more tragic mistakes, from which we, and the rest of the world, might never recover is to include ourselves, The Citizens, from whom the authority for government comes in the first place, in the final decision making process.
The Electronic Congress
How it works:
Before a new law, tax, or expenditure can be put on the books it must first be Ratified by the Citizens.
Existing laws can be Annulled by the same super majority required to Ratify them.
This program can be applied to every level of government and will ultimately solve every problem we have.
To prevent chaos, the basic law, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, would be exempt from review.
Mr. Perot speculated that the Founding Fathers would probably have done the same had the technology been available in their day.
Just imagine:
We, The People, could actually direct the priorities and review the progress of the major agencies like the: CDC and NIH as well as the libraries, school boards and local police departments.
If our government truly is of the people, by the people and for the people then this is the only way forward.
How to implement it:
We talk about it until it is done.
A concerned Citizen could have AI parse a recent law or Supreme Court ruling into its actionable elements, apply the Ratify or Annul Questionnaire, then distribute the links.
Can I make money with this?
Of course, you can. Use AI to parse the laws you find most egregious into their component pieces. And then have it build the ballot / questionnaire along with some demographic background to make the game especially interesting. Charge a $1 per voter per law to deliver the results of the poll to the government officials and watch the evolution in real time.
The Electronic Townhall becomes the means by which the Authority of the Citizens is used to Ratify or Annul the Propositions of Government.
Ask the local school board for their agenda items, have AI parse the actionable elements, create a questionnaire, distribute it to the concerned citizens and then evaluate the results.
When Human Beings made in the image of God can see the results of their noblest and most sober thoughts, at such a scale, then there will be the moment where Our Benevolence and Good Will shall
overcome Evil and then we can all live happily ever after.
Ross Perot publicly promised that if the People of America would elect him to The Presidency, he would give us The Electronic Townhall.
The Fourth Branch of Government will allow us to go from Chaos to Prosperity and a Life Worth Living … until the end of time.
We were created by God and in the image of God; we are human beings, not animals in a pen.
