How to Stop CBDCs
People have become so acclimatized to having a device around them constantly that they can't live without it. We pick out six of the best videos, a lot of them real short, that will show you how nuts this is. The first time a restaurant did that to me in the Netherlands, I walked in and they said, you know, we need your QR code.

Episode notes
Speaker 1
Yeah, and
Speaker 2
it's amazing how people will fall for it. And again, I think it's, you know, I see a lot of this only really being possible because of how the role of the smartphone, I guess you could say in people's lives, people have become so acclimatized to having a device around them constantly that they can't live without. And so the powers that be, I think, see it as a very easy segue at this point in time, to basically be like, well, now we're just going to put the smartphone in you or on you, right?
Speaker 1
And look how much more convenient it will be for you. You won't have to worry about leaving your phone behind or whatever now that you can't live without it. We have an article called I Want to Stop CBDCs. What can I do? You can just pick it up on a search, just put CBDCs in it's larry. And number 11, it's a long list of things everybody can do. But number 11 is to educate your family and friends. And we pick out six of the best videos, a lot of them real short, that will show you how nuts this is. And one of them is Richard Werner at a conference in Malmo, Sweden last May, May 2022, talking about how one of the executive directors who runs one of the Central Bias of Europe saying, you know, CBDC is going to be a chip we're going to put in your hand. So they're telling
Speaker 2
people. Yeah, man, unsettling stuff, but it's just unfortunate how far gone. Some people are off-guardian had a really great article about smartphones. Forget exactly what the title was, but it was out a few weeks ago, and we'll put it in the show notes for people to read. But essentially what it said is people, you know, if you can't imagine living your life without the smartphone, then you've essentially already been enslaved by the system. The fact that you can like can't go without it. Because they argue that the author argues in this piece that it's really the carrot to try and herd people into, I guess, the corral of digital enslavement. Right. So for example, here in Chile, even though, you know, COVID's over and all this stuff, you can't really go to a restaurant unless you scan a QR code. And I refuse to do it. But what happens is that the waitress or waiter will be like, okay, we'll just use my phone to scan it here. Right. You know, they don't have physical menus anymore. So like, okay, if you want to go out to eat, now you have to have your smartphone with you at all
Speaker 1
times. It's so funny. The first time a restaurant did that to me in the Netherlands, I walked in and they said, you know, we need your QR code. And I said, I don't have one. And they said, we need, you know, don't you have a smartphone? I said, you know, I don't have one with me. And they said, well, you can't come in. And the first thing I thought when he was, I wonder what they're putting in the food. And I realized, oh,
Speaker 2
this is a good
Speaker 1
thing. This is a way of screening. You know, this is a way of filtering restaurants.
Speaker 2
Yeah.
Whitney is joined by Catherine Austin Fitts to discuss the current financial situation and what to expect in the short term, why the US government is using the crisis to push for greater bank consolidation, the FedNow service and the role commercial banks are set to play after the rollout of CBDCs.
