The Orwellian nature of CBDCs cannot be overstated. In a cashless society most people would be dependent on digital products for exchanging goods and labor, and this would of course mean the end of all privacy in trade. Everything you buy or sell or work for in your life would be recorded, and this lack of anonymity could be used to stifle your freedoms in the future.

This crap seems ready to go as early as July. Here’s one from the horse’s backend.

J.P. Morgan to pilot biometrics-based payments for merchants

Biometrics payments to bring speed and efficiency benefits to U.S. merchants and their customers, as J.P. Morgan Payments bolsters broader offering to merchants with Commerce Solutions launch.

J.P. Morgan will begin piloting biometrics-based payments with select retailers in the U.S. This is the first pilot solution to launch from J.P. Morgan Payments’ new Commerce Solutions suite of products, dedicated to helping merchants adapt to the rapidly evolving payments landscape.

Its biometrics-based payment pilot includes palm and face identification for payments authentication in-store and works on an enrol-capture-authenticate-pay basis. Global biometric payments are expected to reach $5.8T and 3B users by 2026, according to Goode Intelligence.

J.P. Morgan Payments’ biometrics pilot offering should allow for fast, secure and simple checkout experiences for its merchants’ customers, delivering a modern payments experience to enhance customer loyalty. As the leading global merchant acquirer, J.P. Morgan Payments is uniquely positioned to enable this solution to meet shopper expectations without compromising security and reliability.

I think many Christians will see this as the mark of the beast and every church and Christian should be screaming out about it. Especially those family values Christian republicans, but only a few are. Some states are saying no way in hell will they allow it, but not enough. Besides how quickly will they fold when the government says either do it or we will cut off your federal funding?

Something this big should have to be voted on and only after people know the pros and cons. The bankers shouldn’t get to decide whether this happens or not…but…

Does this wipe out everyone’s savings and put us all on equal footing with no money being saved for emergencies? What if I say something on here or the Twit that the government doesn’t like and they wipe out all my money and then I can’t afford to pay my mortgage? Or buy food like mentioned in the first article? Or my property taxes? I’ll be homeless faster than a gnat’s ass and then what? No…neither the government or banks should be allowed to force this on us. But how to stop it since they don’t give a rat’s ass what we think?

That damn cliff is getting closer and Thelma and Louise are cackling….!!!

trackable and a step towards central bank digital currency.

"A few loud people were opposed to it and we took a step back," says @nycmayor, of the city's prior retreat from the digidog. "That is not how I operate."

NYC's black mayor has deployed a robot dawg to help police fight crime and I’m betting that it won’t be long until the dawg gets armed with some type of gun that will be used to kill people just as quickly as normal cops do. But good lord the optics of a black mayor doing that. Adams considers himself a democrat, but if so he’s a Jim Crow democrat from times past. His policies are to the right of many republican mayors. But let’s not forget that it’s better to vote blue no matter who because a republican might win if you don’t.

More and more the mood appears to be shifting towards acceptance of a new reality.

"Our source reports that the forthcoming attack is called the last one before the future big trades.

Whoever can take what, he will be able to dictate terms in diplomacy.

In 2024, the West will cease to finance the Ukrainian crisis on a large scale - source.

The reduction will take place by 50%, you must understand how this will affect the combat capability of the army, the financial condition of the country and the well-being of citizens, and all that follows from this. This winter will be much more difficult than the last one, the source added."

Seymour Hersh even dropped a new bombshell yesterday, claiming that he was told by an insider the following:

U.S. prepares draft agreement to end conflict in Ukraine - Seymour Hersh

According to an American journalist, the U.S. side is allegedly considering ending the conflict in favor of Ukraine, and, accordingly, is preparing for it.

However, the kicker was that this is being prepared in the event that ‘Russia loses the war’, at which point the U.S. will present it with a peace treaty. This makes no sense, and sounds to me like internal face-saving ‘cover’ meant to disguise the need to prepare a real peace treaty, by initially clothing it in favorable terms, like Ukraine being the victor.

Yeah this makes no sense whatsoever because first of all Russia has said that America’s word is no good and that it’s not capable of upholding any agreement it makes. Looking back at the treaties first made with Native Americans I don’t think it hasn’t broken a treaty it’s made.

If you recall my own writing on this very matter in one of the last reports, where I said how there are internal red lines that U.S. does not cross, because it is scared to accidentally force Russia into a massive mobilization which would completely overrun Ukraine. These leaks appeared to have confirmed the internal deliberations of such scenarios.

Other new rumors abound, this one from Alistair Crook:

Zelenskyy is ready to transfer several western regions of the country to Poland in exchange for full-scale military assistance to the Ukraine army in the seizure of Crimea. This was stated by the former intelligence officer of the British intelligence service MI6 Alistair Crook. Ukrainian territory means nothing to Zelenskyy.

He includes this video of how Russia is kicking ass and that America has no defense against its air defenses. Starting at 31 minutes. The person talking says that American troops have been fighting against people who have no air forces and that Russia has become a formidable foe in that regard.

.

He starts out talking about the leaks again….then he moves on to the bombs Russia is using…then he talks about how the pentagon thinks about Wagner PMCs. Y’all can read the rest if interested. Whistle wetting.

The problem with the leaks being a psyop angle, is that not only have there been many damaging revelations vis a vis U.S.’s relations to other countries, but the leaks have confirmed many inconvenient things we’ve already been taking notice of. For instance, the way they exposed the near-depletion of UA’s air defense network is something that has already been getting hysterical outcries from the AFU itself, as recently Russia’s uptick in glide-bomb and guided bomb usage has gone up so drastically that it’s being noticed on every front. The AFU admits to being badly hammered and unable to stop it.

In the past week or so, there has been a major onslaught on UA ammo depots in particular, which UA channels have confirmed. Here is one such transmission from last night (autotranslated):

Let's look boldly into fucking fucking facts and
call a spade a spade For a month and a half, Moksha, step by step, has been intensifying the air offensive, using only
a couple of dozen of his vultures for this. Laughs with chuckles, and getting a FAB in the fuck is not a moped, not a hailstone, and not even a 152-mm one. That's fucked up. This is minus the opornik, minus several pieces of equipment, minus the fuel and lubricant depot or
ammunition supply. And they have been bullying us for a month and a half with impunity, slowly increasing the
geography and intensity of attacks ( Why? Because our air defense no longer has missiles, no launchers, no trained people. It was an epic kill, and we leaked it - for completely objective reasons. And yes, the wind forces did
everything they could, and even more. And even if they were Ukrainian air defense
systems, they are not gods either. And now we are waiting for the transition to the endgame, in which we will simply be razed to the ground.

There are daily reports now of various types of new guided bombs hitting everything in Ukraine:

According to Turkish sources, a column of the Ukrainian Armed Forces brigade, which approached the fortifications northeast of the Ugledar line as reinforcements, was hit yesterday by Russian fighters who dropped FAB-500 and UPAB-1500 glide bombs from a distance of up to 60 km. Most of the column was destroyed or scattered.

Russia prepares to use more of the FAB-1500 and FAB-3000 bombs
in Ukraine. The 1500kg/3000kg FAB bomb is a Soviet air dropped bomb. It is designed primarily for the destruction of industrial, urban and port facilities. These bombshell will leave behind only dust when dropped on
a building. An area of up to 3,000 square meters will be affected if it falls onto
terrain.
