On October 9, whistleblower and privacy advocate Edward Snowden published an opinion editorial concerning central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and claimed CBDCs are \u201cthe newest danger cresting the public horizon.\u201d Snowden stressed that rather than being an innovation, CBDC\u2019s are \u201ccloser to being a perversion of cryptocurrency\u201d and a \u201ccryptofascist currency.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Snowden Stresses CBDCs \u2018Are Expressly Designed to Deny Its Users the Basic Ownership of Their Money\u2019<\/h2>\n

While politicians and the modern banking cartel have been all about central bank digital currencies, a great number of critics believe they are no different than centralized databases. On Saturday, the former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and National Security Agency (NSA) subcontractor, Edward Snowden<\/a>, published an article describing what he thinks CBDCs will bring to society. Snowden is a fan of decentralized crypto assets like bitcoin, ethereum, and zcash. However, when it comes to CBDCs the whistleblower is concerned about adopting the technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will tell you what a CBDC is NOT \u2014 it is NOT, as Wikipedia might tell you, a digital dollar,\u201d Snowden emphasizes in his article. \u201cAfter all, most dollars are already digital, existing not as something folded in your wallet, but as an entry in a bank\u2019s database, faithfully requested and rendered beneath the glass of your phone. Neither is a Central Bank Digital Currency a State-level embrace of cryptocurrency \u2014 at least not of cryptocurrency as pretty much everyone in the world who uses it currently understands it,\u201d the whistleblower said. Snowden added:<\/p>\n

Instead, a CBDC is something closer to being a perversion of cryptocurrency, or at least of the founding principles and protocols of cryptocurrency\u2014a cryptofascist currency, an evil twin entered into the ledgers on Opposite Day, expressly designed to deny its users the basic ownership of their money and to install the State at the mediating center of every transaction.<\/p>\n

Snowden concludes by explaining that people earn a living via their labor and it could be enough to retire or \u201cif not, can he ever hope to rely on the State\u2019s benevolent, or even adequate, provision \u2014 for his welfare, his care, his healing?\u201d Snowden says he\u2019d like to ask members of the Fed, the Treasury, and the U.S. government whether or not money should be centralized by the state. \u201dOf all the things that might be centralized and nationalized in this poor man\u2019s life, should it really be his money?\u201d Snowden asks in his article\u2019s conclusion.<\/p>\n

Eddie Hobbs Claims \u2018Your Savings Are Collateral Damage in the New Rules of the Game\u2019<\/h2>\n

The future of this corrupt monetary system can be seen from a mile away, and in another recently published opinion editorial, financial advisor and writer Eddie Hobbs explains: \u201cYour savings are collateral damage in the new rules of the game.\u201d Hobbs stresses that the surge in excess global debt cannot be helped, except by suppressing benchmark interest rates for a decade or more.<\/p>\n

\u201cCentral Banks know this, that letting loose inflation is the only way out, while governments jack up borrowing to world war levels hoping to reignite growth faster than the debt piles up,\u201d the financial writer detailed. \u201cThe ECB intends to ride shotgun, letting time and inflation erode the real value of outstanding debt while they play their part by crushing rates into negative territory.\u201d Hobbs adds:<\/p>\n

Savings are collateral damage in the new rules of the game. Irish Banks are charging up to -0.65% to hold cash. So far, it has sharply curtailed Credit Union\u2019s capacity to take in cash and is hurting corporate deposits, trusts, and charities, but it is coming your way next year once it seeps down from seven-figure consumer deposits. You can ignore bank propaganda to the contrary.<\/p>\n
