Fifty Shades of Central Bank Tyranny

Definitions matter.

They may use different words and different propaganda, but their goals converge.

While we can’t simply vote out of this predicament, we can opt out entirely.

In this article, I will define what a Central Bank Digital Currency is by exploring its major categories.

Adding programmability is just the next logical step.

Ultimately, both Republicans and Democrats are steering us toward the same destination: total digital control.

However, the fear of central bank control over your transactions is, in fact, a red herring.

The United States has had a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) since the late 1990s—or possibly even as far back as the 1970s, depending on how you define it.

The real threat lies with our government, which has already perfected the art of surveillance.

Just as the bestselling novel 50 Shades of Gray explores the complex dynamics of control and submission in a relationship, our financial system has evolved into what could be called “50 Shades of Central Bank Tyranny.” Each layer of our digital currency system peels back the seductive mask of freedom, revealing progressively darker shades of control.

A CBDC is a Central Bank Digital Currency.

Just as 50 Shades of Gray reveals the intricate power plays in a seemingly consensual relationship, so too does our current financial system reveal its true nature as a digital dominatrix—one that has been steadily adding links to the chain of financial enslavement, tightening its grip on our autonomy for decades.

After all, the Patriot Act was anything but “patriotic.” The CARES Act, while sounding warmly empathetic, cared more about large multinational corporations than small businesses, about Big Pharma over American health, and above all, about the expansion of the surveillance state and protection of the censorship industrial complex over the liberty and free speech of the American people.

We can’t vote our way out.

The existing system is already digital, programmable, and trackable.

Currently, I’m hosting over 15 four-hour workshops nationwide—and soon internationally—educating people on using alternative currencies to avoid CBDCs and evade The Great Taking, the carefully engineered process that could strip us of our stocks, bonds, and 401(k)s to benefit the largest banks through legal maneuvers across all 50 states.

I will also show that the Federal Reserve (the Fed) can introduce more dystopian elements into this system—such as programming restrictions on when, how, and where you can spend your money without requiring Congressional approval.

I handed a copy of my book to Vivek Ramaswamy, and after reading it, our conversations helped bring the CBDC issue to Donald Trump’s attention.

So, are we a 92% CBDC?

Since I exited my personal bank account in 2019, this has impacted me personally.

This dedication led me to write a book, The Final Countdown, and even run for President to raise awareness about the issue.

Our politicians work their sleight of hand by manipulating language itself to give a false impression, masking either a different intent or simply trying to gain the appearance of a victory with little or no actual underlying achievement.
