Central Bank Digital Currency Launch

The Federal Reserve has announced the launch of their CBDC in July, with the cute name FEDNOW. They just “couldn’t be more excited about it!” says the Fed spokesman Ken Montgomery. We have known this was coming, ever since Biden signed Executive Order 14067, authorizing the study of a CBDC, which turned into a pilot program, which will now go live in three months. It is bearing down on us like a Sherman tank.

The March 15 press release from the Fed notes that participants are being certified starting in April, which means that it will not yet be universal; it will be contained, for a time, to those banks who are approved. Now would be the time to find out if your bank is one of those “early adopters.” If enough people move their funds out of those banks, it could possibly slow the runaway train.

The Biden administration says that the CBDC will “protect” us. Sort of like that shot protected us? This government has no moral center, and even if it did, the concentration of all power in one place is a very bad idea, given fallen human nature.

One of the ways to force us into that system is to convince vendors to no longer accept cash. Some already have. But if 50% of their sales are in cash, they won’t want to stop accepting it! Use cash or checks for everything: groceries, donations, restaurants. Another step that has been tried is for banks to stop allowing customers to withdraw funds in cash. It has already begun in Australia.

Once the central governing authorities control our funds, those of us who disagree with policies are at risk of being locked out. Do you really trust the people now in power, who have already mowed down most of our liberties? There is a very good reason that they are pushing so hard to leave cash behind. It is what gives us our freedom. That’s not an overstatement.

From Dr. Mike Yeadon, a leading critic of world government’s covid response:

Cash is the ultimate, legal stealth tool. After you pull it from a cash point / ATM, the authorities have not a clue who used it where, for what, or whether it was spent at all. Think of it as a handful of sand thrown into the face of the illegitimate perpetrators. The more cash transactions, the greater the uncertainty exists about what would happen upon a financial Great Reset. The thing the elites dislike the most is UNCERTAINTY. The widespread use of cash is an uncertainty. Please make their decision-making as uncertain as possible. I can’t think of an innocent activity of greater undermining potential than massed use of cash. Please forgo the conveniences of electronic payment as often as you can.

My personal take-aways:

Use cash. Go to your bank in person for withdrawals to help keep teller service alive. Spread funds between smaller banks or credit unions and larger banks. Don’t put all your funds in one place. Ask your banks if they are enrolling in the FedNow system, and express your displeasure. Move funds out of any bank moving toward the FedNow system. (The enrollment is between April 1 and June 30) Don’t depend on the FDIC. It only has the assets to cover the deposits of a few banks at a time, not the whole system. Put small amounts in alternative investments. I may lose my whole stake in Bitcoin, but it’s small enough to not hurt. Best investments are hard assets, rather than financial instruments. Land, machines, supplies, remedies.

Interestingly, both failed Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic were in the pilot program.

Crossing the Rubicon

The Rubicon is a small river, more like a stream, in northeastern Italy. In ancient times, it marked the boundary between Italy and Gaul, which was under Julius Caesar’s control. When Caesar’s army crossed the Rubicon in 49 BC into Italy, it was a declaration of war against the Roman republic. A three-year civil war ensued, the fate of the whole Roman world at stake.

Now that the Manhattan district attorney has indicted President Trump on no reasonable evidence, Trump says the Democrats have crossed the Rubicon. “We’ve got to go after the Soros prosecutors who’ve been put into office all across the country, and expose the dark money network that has gotten them into power. The Democrats have crossed the Rubicon here, and they’ve burned the bridge behind them. Now we’ve got to defend democracy.”

Fight For Courage

From Telegram:

“We are heading into uncharted territory as a people. Like every great pioneer in the history of the world, we have to put one foot in front of the other, and trust that whatever may be beyond the horizon will be worth the journey. It is so much easier to accept defeat, and assume the worst, than it is to step forward with “The Best Is Yet To Come” battle cry. Hope isn’t our default. We’ve been conditioned by the Babylon System to default to despair. Courage is something we have to fight for.”

Normalcy Bias

A tendency to believe that everything will continue to be “normal” even though there are warning signs that point to the contrary. As a result, we underestimate both the likelihood of calamity and the possible consequences, and put ourselves and those we love at risk. It’s easy to fall into normalcy bias when the whole weight of the global news media is invested in keeping us unaware and unprepared for the real danger we face.

A popular name for people in the grip of normalcy bias is “normies.” We’ve been trying to shake them up, beginning with the untested, genetic manipulation shot.

For some reason, we have been given ears to hear. We discern the tinny tone of those giving both false fear and false hope: “Vaccinated people don’t get sick,” “We’re looking at a winter of severe illness and death for the unvaccinated” and “Our banking system remains sound.” Why do we hear the lies, when other people swallow them whole?

Those of us with ears to hear ought to hear. A certain responsibility is implied.

Sunshine & D

The days are getting longer this side of the Spring Equinox (March 21) and that’s more hours in the day to get outside. Sunshine synthesizes Vitamin D in our bodies, and Vitamin D is one of the major determinants of severity of disease. You can supplement D, especially in the winter months, but now that the sun is out longer, get outside! 20 minutes in the sun each day, without sunscreen, should give you adequate exposure for Vitamin D. See more about the importance of Vitamin D from Dr. Ryan Cole here >

“O” is for Obviously

A Canadian doctor, who pioneered “gender-affirming care” is now saying, “We were wrong.” As Christians, we already knew that the push to have young people mutilate themselves sexually is diabolic. We are created in the likeness of God precisely as male and female, so it is not surprising that gender mutilation (by chemicals or by surgery) ruptures the foundational connection between the person and God.

We are roughly 10 years into this large-scale experiment and already we have reports on issues with cognitive development, bone mineral density, and fertility. All the up-to-date evidence shows that puberty blockers are neither safe nor reversible.

J6ers

Jake Chansley, ridiculously called “The QAnon Shaman” has been released from prison, after Tucker Carlson aired surveillance video of Capitol police calmly escorting him through the Senate building without the barest trace of violence or disrespect. That video shot to pieces the narrative about Chansley being a dangerous criminal.

There are still tens of thousands of hours of video that needs to be reviewed and made public, so that other innocent people framed as “insurrectionists” can be reunited with their families, and try to piece their lives together again.

There is video in that pile somewhere that shows that what appeared to be violent when cleverly edited was actually citizens responding to police actions, trying to rescue Roseann Boylan and others caught in the crush, or trying to protect those who were hit in the face at close range with police explosives.

Contact your Congressmen and demand the release of all the videotape >

If the government has behaved uprightly, they have nothing to fear from releasing the video.

Cinnamon

Not just for baking, cinnamon has amazing gardening properties too. It kills fungus on seedlings, works as a rooting hormone, deters ants and critters from your plants, and may even protect from mosquitos. And it smells so good! Check out all these uses for cinnamon >

Bio-Terrorism

Most people didn’t know that the covid shots were a project of the Department of Defense. How many would have backed off the shot if they’d known it was essentially a military operation? It’s all been smoke and mirrors. Read more here >

Dr. Mike Yeadon describes the above article as “the clearest picture yet of the faked covid pandemic that has been run. Its objectives include economic impoverishment and mass injection with materials explicitly designed to injure and kill.”

The Jase Case

We have already experienced shortages in some antibiotics due to supply chain issues. For a backpocket supply in case of crisis, Jase Medical is worth a look. The Jase Case is a kit of 5 common antibiotics with dispensing instructions. You must fill out an application, which is reviewed by a physician licensed in your state. If there are no contra-indications, they will ship the case for $260 (current price.) You also get unlimited physician follow-up. Get a Jase Case here. This is not a recommendation, but a path for you to research. I have the Jase Case myself, so I can testify that they do fulfill orders in a timely way and the kit is as advertised.

Guns & Control

Mikki Willis @Official Plandemic writes this:

• Turkey established gun control in 1911, then 1.5 million Armenians were rounded up and exterminated.
• The Soviet Union established gun control in 1929, then 20 million dissidents were rounded up and exterminated.
• China established gun control in 1935, then 20 million political dissidents were rounded up and exterminated.
• Germany established gun control in 1938, then13 million Jews and others were rounded up and exterminated.
• Cambodia established gun control in 1956, then one million people unable were rounded up and exterminated.
• Guatemala established gun control in 1964, then 100,000 Mayan Indians were rounded up and exterminated.
• Uganda established gun control in 1970, then 300,000 Christians were rounded up and exterminated.
• Venezuela began to disarm citizens in 2010, and now is free falling into unrest and extreme poverty.
• Australia established gun control in 1996 and now citizens are being brutalized and terrorized by their tyrannical government.
• Canada expanded gun control in 2020 and now citizens are being brutalized and terrorized by their tyrannical government.

Trafficker-in-Chief

Biden and those in his administration are supporting child sex-trafficking. Outright. A Federal whistleblower testified that unaccompanied minor children coming over the Southern border, of which there were 130,000 last year, were being placed with known traffickers. You can bet money changed hands. Senator Ted Cruz scorched Secretary Mayorkas over his ignorance (real or feigned) of the situation at the border, and called for Mayorkas’ resignation.

Stop the Plan

What is happening in our world is so horrifying, it’s easy to turn a blind eye, just for emotional survival. But we can’t; we are on the verge of losing everything, leaving our children to face slavery or worse. As Dr. Mike Yeadon says, “I’ll do anything I can to give the generations which follow me a shot at remaining free.” This website has a guide for ten things you can do to stop the onrushing tyranny >
