For people to say, “It can’t happen here,” I will just remind them of what happened during the Chinese virus. Suddenly, your personal freedom was at the whim of who you allowed to be in office at the state and local level. Some places didn’t impinge upon your personal freedom, but others did to a drastic extent. And how many businesses were harmed in those demarcated regions of hell, like Michigan and New York? And who in California could forgot the attitude of Governor Gavin Gruesome, who made the whole state a shit-hole by saying, “My laws apply to you, while no one’s laws apply to me”? If any of you really think it can’t happen in the US, you are living in denial. And that isn’t a river in Egypt.
Like I said below, the opt-out starts with refusing to buy the lie. Without that step, nothing else works. Most people aren't trapped because they lack the means - they're trapped because they refuse to see it. So if you have people in your life who matter to you, getting them on board is step one. Then focusing on developing systems around hard assets and internationalization would go a long way.
I have educated my kids and peers on what’s going on, have multiple citizenships and a bit of PMs tucked away. Have been internationalising for the last decade.
Education for starters concentrated focus on CBs followed by wit and an Iron backbone. That fat obese BIS shit Carstens could be used as bait. Lau is right individually knowing the lie allows us to opt out while understanding the stupendous challenge out front. One, could surmise the podium donuts are losing credibility and that the answer everyone seeks is not their leaders. It must be delivered as, a criminal organization that, Keynes was right, in the end we are all dead. Pray that the thiefs steal less knowing full well the thief, once a thief is always a thief particularly if there are no consequences. THERE MUST BE. What do you do when you discover a thief.?
See my note down below, but TL;DR: we can create OUR OWN un-inflatable digital money and not put any restrictions how we use it; we can replace income-based taxation with a small (like 1%) monthly infrastructure maintenance fee and replace ai-devoured wages with "just compensation" (like $500 in credits per wk) for the government's TAKING of everyone's right to access land sufficient to support their right to life; in order to do this, we need to create OUR OWN political party (discussed in that note below); ok, so it wasn't a very good TL;DR: sue me and join up!
I was in Cuba summer 2002, and they had the household coupon books, govt rations of flour, rice, beans, meat, bread, etc. . If they ran out of food by end of month they went to black market to deal. This was also summer when Pres G Bush signed new law Cubans entry to US every 2 yrs, June 29, 2002 Cubans lives drastically changed & crazy trying to get out, our plane broke down, airport was crammed with Cubans trying to leave. We actually were last plane w/Cubans exiting Havana, Cuba. Military everywhere, people desperate, handing children over heads to front of lines to get them out. Should have been a movie. Thank God we were on that plane.
There will be about 4-categories of users with the elites/sovereigns at the top for whom no ration, no restriction applies. They will fly in their private jets and dine on wild caught salmon and angus beef whilst the rest eat lab-made meat and bread made from cricket powder.
Hopefully things will improve soon in Cuba when they become a US Territory, and hopefully the war will end soon along with global gas rationing.
When you described rationing in the USSR, I remembered the joke “Do you have bread? No, we don’t have milk - they don’t have bread next door!”
It also reminded me of what my parents experienced during WWII when many items were rationed.
As for the CBDC threat, I realize it’s real, and I do what I can to prepare while at the same time trusting the Lord, which is our only real security in this world.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Jesus comes first!
Wow, Lau, that one is right on historically anchored building like a train gaining momentum to the finish, i.e. we can’t help, even our selves and our families, if we don’t see and understand what is happening. Thanks!
This is an interesting view on what you saw. I have two thoughts. First the part that I agree with. I absolutely agree that there is a push towards going full digital with currencys and it is a problem. My perspective comes from the Netherlands were there has been a large push for digital transactions. Take trasportation, you get a card that is tied to you name address and you refill it. But it also is able to track all your movements and trips you have taken using the card. Narrowing money in the capacity you have talked about is a slippery slope and one that is not in the best interest of the people. This is even worse if you think about how private interests are gaining the most from this move.
Now my other thought is about your first examples of energy rations. I do believe that if it is run well and fairly, it is something that should be considered. There needs to be accountability for how much consumption idividuals have. Maybe the energy and resource rationing isn't the way, but whether it is oil, water, or food we are headed toward a future where we can not continue to consume the same levels of resources and steps need to be made to hold individuals, companies and governments accountable.
Thanks Pj. Pushing back on the rationing point. "Run well and fairly" has been the qualifier on every rationing system in history — and not one of them ever was. The people writing the rules always exempt themselves. Meanwhile, the market is the most honest accountability mechanism we have.
Seems like everyone just accepts that we have to use somebody else's money (whoever's money you use is who is your de facto government, and, thus, the de facto owner of everything within the domain of that government; thus, there is no chance of bankruptcy nor any actual "unbacked" U.S. currency).
We can create our own money (very easily) by converting all debt to electronic credits held in actual Federal accounts actually owned by We, the People. We just need to take over Congress to getrdone: thus, we need a new kind of political party based on (7/8s) consensus, sortition (used when consensus is unable to be reached) and rescission (to rescind laws, rules and regulations that lack 7/8s support). So join up and let's get going.
It’s the replacement of the petrol dollar, because the privately owned global financial system in control of at least all western countries, is beyond bankrupt. The goal is for the bankers to stay in control, continuing their Ponzi scheme beyond the West’s taxpayers, now that yet another bailout became “unsellable” to the public.
And yes, and even more importantly, it will be the final step to their ultimate goal that has been in the making for decades, it traps the gullible majority into the digital concentration camps of mass surveillance, biometrics, digital ID and currency control grids (Agenda 2030).
There’s a reason they need all these AI datacenters.
Oh, and btw., look into the Donald’s World Liberty Financial and it’s USD1. Check Lutnick as well. It’s beyond corruption what we’re witnessing today.

When I was at school, over half a century ago, I concluded that at some point, governments would become more tyrannical.
The pirates in charge are doing all they can to turn the world into a medieval serfdom where you get what they decide you deserve…
So, the question is, what is the work around / work arounds?
I am keen to get your feedback…
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Jayne. Really appreciate the firsthand account.
Throw the phone down the well.
My kids grew up with a smartphone. Their kids will be enslaved by the digital world.
Made a deal with two of my three: any phone they want when they turn 18.
There will be about 4-categories of users with the elites/sovereigns at the top for whom no ration, no restriction applies. They will fly in their private jets and dine on wild caught salmon and angus beef whilst the rest eat lab-made meat and bread made from cricket powder.
Amazing post.

Thanks, Al. I grew up on jokes like that. Dark humor was practically a survival mechanism there.

Correction June 2004. We were with Dept of Commerce taking humanitarian medical needs.
