As CBDCs Launch, How Long Until the Social Credit Grid Controls You?
“Central Bank Digital Currencies are not just digital cash—they’re the foundation for absolute control,” warns Taylor Kenney in her latest video. As countries like China weaponize social credit systems, the U.S. quietly inches closer to implementing its own version under the guise of financial inclusion. “A CBDC tracks every transaction, but it doesn’t stop there—it can reward or punish behavior in real-time.”
With 134 countries actively pursuing CBDCs, she warns it’s only a matter of time before the U.S. follows suit. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-12-29/cbdcs-launch-how-long-until-social-credit-grid-controls-you
If Donald Trump keeps his word, however, the USA may not end up with a CBDC for its currency:
CBDC Efforts Called Into Question
Trump’s opposition to CBDCs is clearly rooted in privacy and individual freedom concerns. He supported the CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, which prevents the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC without congressional approval—a stance echoed by Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Trump’s anti-CBDC position could also influence global trends significantly as central banks like the European Central Bank move forward with their digital currencies.
The European Central Bank’s planned CBDC designed to provide accessible, standardized payments across the eurozone, has thus far received limited political attention in Europe, despite concerns over its potential to crowd out the private sector. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonegilsson/2024/11/08/what-trumps-election-really-means-for-crypto/
Well, it is only a matter of time before European currency goes digital.
But it is not just Donald Trump that does not want a CBDC. Basically, the vast majority of people in the Anglo-American nations are opposed to them as the following shows:
December 26, 2024
A central bank digital currency (CBDC) … New Zealanders … 90% believe the government will use it to monitor the citizens, a public consultation by the country’s central bank has revealed.
The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) started the consultation in April, calling on the public to submit feedback on whether a CBDC was necessary, whether the bank should pay interest, whether there should be a holding limit and more.
RBNZ recently published the consultation results, which are overwhelmingly against a digital dollar. …
A Bank of Canada (BOC) consultation found that 85% of Canadians “would not use a digital Canadian dollar.” In the United States, only 16% support the idea of a CBDC, and with Donald Trump assuming office in January, the chances of a digital dollar have dipped significantly. New Zealand’s neighbor, Australia, has also stated that there lacks a “clear public interest case” for issuing a retail CBDC. https://coingeek.com/70-of-new-zealanders-say-cbdc-is-not-important/
No, going completely to a monitorable CBDC or other digital currency is not clearly in the interest of the public.
As far as Europe goes, it does not want to pass on this, but move forward. In a report last month, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had the following:
The global interest in CBDC remains strong, and exploration continues around the world. The Bank for International Settlements’ (BIS) most recent CBDC survey shows that the proportion of the 86 responding central banks that are exploring CBDC has risen to 94 percent. The survey indicates that up to fifteen CBDCs will likely have been issued by 2030 (BIS 2024a). …
The European Central Bank (ECB) is moving forward with the digital euro project. It moved from the initial phase into the preparation phase in November 2023. This preparation phase aims to lay the foundation of a potential future digital euro, by finalizing its rulebook and selecting providers that could help develop a technical platform. A first draft of the rulebook and a first call for providers were presented in January 2024 (ECB 2024)—the ECB has earmarked significant funds to work with the private sector to develop a digital euro. The next phase involving an actual development and rollout of the digital euro could start in November 2025 at the earliest. https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/Policy-Papers/Issues/2024/11/08/Central-Bank-Digital-Currency-Progress-And-Further-Considerations-557194
Biblically, we know from the following prophecy that Europe will have a controlled currency based on the following:
16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Revelation 13:16-18)
The Beast is a European leader. Now consider that this type of financial surveillance could not have happened during the time of the Apostle John when Jesus had him write the above as there was no real way to monitor many financial transactions then (despite the fact that ‘preterists’ believe this was fulfilled almost 2000 years ago, see also The Dangerous Rise of Preterists). The same was true for all the centuries that followed until the late 20th and now the 21st century. But now not only does the technology exist to monitor most financial transactions, the political will is here as well.
It will be a European power that will fulfill the above prophecy of 666 (watch Can You Prove that the Beast to Come is European?).
We recently produced the following related video:
“Bringing you news and analysis of world events in light of Bible prophecy.” This one of the mandates of the Continuing Church of God. The Beast of Revelation is shown as controlling all buying and selling. Might CBDCs fill a role in that control? The Bank of International Settlement predicts there will be at least 9 CBDCs in circulation by 2030. Globalists would prefer a faster pace. What nations or groups of nations are pushing for a Central Bank Digital Currency? There is one group of nations that has claimed it wants to be the dominant force in a CBDC. Will this group of nations become a tie-in to the 666 Mark of the Beast? How close are we to CBDCs? Dr. Thiel uses verses from Bible prophecy to shine the light of understanding on the dangers of the coming Beast power and the cashless society promised by CBDCs. You can read the corresponding article to this video titled “Yes, there are threats of cashlessness, most in NZ, Canada, the US, & Australia oppose CBDCs, yet the IMF continues to push for CBDCs.”
Here is a link to our video: CBDCs and a Cashless Society.
The European ‘666’ will arise and control buying and selling.
It will come to Europe, but not the same way to the USA.
