The movie "Idiocracy" is paradise compared to where we're headed.

As I say to the TRUMP CULT MORONS, when they PARROT their one-liner......"B....b....b....but, Trump signed an EO banning CBDC!".

#1......so-called 'Executive Orders' are NOT LAWS! (they can be REVERSED!) They are MEANINGLESS!

#2......the CBDC will just be RE-BRANDED to be called SOMETHING ELSE (aka RE-NAME it).

Trump's been pulling the classic "Bait & Switch" moves to fake out maga and sheeple.

Greg, just to confirm what you've been talking about Re: Tarriffs impacting us, expecially from China. This is from an article "The Ports Shut Down" 4/30/25. "The Port of Seattle on Sunday, April 27, 2025: EMPTY." "This is the 4th busiest port in the nation. Inbound freight from China has STOPPED. " article continues: "Here is the Marine-Tracker for Seattle: Waiting ships: ZERO. Inbound ships: ZERO. There are presently ZERO cargo ships docked or en-route. There are ZERO containers n the yard, and there are ZERO trucks waiting to haul cargo." and goes on to say that "Even if this global trade war is ended tomorrow, it will take a minimum of 30-55 days, but more likely at 7-9 months, to normalize supply chains and have available product again." Your advice for people to stock up on food, (especially meats) dry goods, water, medicines, OTC medicines, toiletries, paper supplies etc. is excellent advice and hopefully people will adhere the warning and act. Also, yesterday on the news, the same thing is happening in the Los Angeles Shipping Ports & that reporter said that the shipping/port workforce represents 45%.of LA's employment. That's a lot of people that could soon be out of work. This is serious folks just like Greg has been sounding the alarm and you can confirm all this on several truthful online sites.

I absolutely read that information about the Seattle port as well.

This tariff thing was a distraction. The puppet masters have been obeyed by the U.S.

and China agreeing to just stop the shipping. Those employees at that port know they are about to be laid off. Watch the ports - the deal has been done quietly.

I also heard a podcast that said Lowe's, Home Depot, Target and Walmart know about this and are speaking to the empty shelves problem surfacing very soon - 1 to 3 months if this continues to progress. State and local law enforcement agencies are being militarized. My theory is that there will be no panic buying, maybe panic looting.

so if you use anything but cash i think they can monitor you such as a credit card or a check even is not safe from surveillance

Might as well mint our own gray market currency to compete with this fiat monstrosity. Any tangible coins made with scarce resources would appreciate relative to some central bank fugaze designed to enslave U.S.

Yes, I don’t understand how any monetary system based on a fiat currency works. It doesn’t.

If there ever was a time to stand it's now. Once cash is eliminated they'll exercise complete control.

Watch the movie G20, it a movie where the US president goes to G20 event to “open the gate” to this new crypto system, they tell in the movie when that would happen.

If you look at the dates for next G20 meeting is on 22-23 nov. 2025 in South Africa, where exactly the movie scene is taking place.

That’s not a movie, but a promise!

BTC is the only secure digital currency. (For now) Altcoins are ALL ponzi schemes.

Bottom line - As a retired I.T. professional, I still do not trust technology.

Digital currency WILL become a global disaster. IMHO.

Bitcoin is not secure. For starters, no power grid, no bitcoin.

Just wondering, I see the end game as you speak if it. But does that mean they can side step all the other cryptocurrencies? If so, is BTC/cryptos now a questionable assett class?

I was waiting for someone to ask that!! I don’t hold any crypto (or much of anything else for that matter), but I too am curious what Greg thinks about this.

How do we opt out?

Paul Kleinwald's avatar

I'm right there with you Greg. I don't even accept credit card payments in my store. I would be happy to take gold and silver coins rather than Fed Bucks. So far no one is willing to use precious metals to exchange for my merch.

I only have a flip phone if my alarm goes off or the rare occasion when I'm away and there is an emergency. Hell, I still have a land line with one rotary dial and two portable phones for it. No social-unsociable media participation for me either.

Greg, "Prepare to opt out" - How do we do that?? If physical money is replaced with digital traceable currency what happens to all the paper money if we can't use it. I feel like we are already in the trap and can't get out. How do we opt out?
