'2024' - Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs): The New Frontier in the Battle for Privacy and Freedom

 



The New Frontier in the Battle for Privacy and Freedom


Winston Smith, the protagonist of George Orwell's dystopian novel “1984”, had a son. No one knew about it. He lives in an ideal world until he encounters the brutal surveillance tools of the hidden powers: cyber weapons like “Pegasus” and the most brutal tool of control in 2024: CBDCs - Central Bank Digital Currencies.
This is his story. This is 2024 – 1984 updated!
In Orwells “1984”, only party members are subject to total surveillance – and yet in the real world, communism, Stasi-style or not, ultimately failed. In present-day 2024, however, EVERYONE is under surveillance.
Winston Smith from “1984” is steadily aware of the omnipresent surveillance yet grows increasingly careless over time – while his son Win, in 2024, is completely unaware of the seamless levels of control.
In “1984”, George Orwell depicted a bleak future world. I, on the other hand, draw a picture of reality which within a few short years – not decades, but merely years – will enslave people and lock them up with no easy escape without bloodshed.
While Winston Smith was a rather tragic figure from the beginning, Win is a successful graduate of an elite university who may still fulfill his potential. This is something Orwell could not have foreseen. If the Nazis had remained in power, and if Stalin had succeeded, we would also have woken up in a 1984 scenario. Fortunately, democracy triumphed.
Regrettably, we seem to increasingly forget the value of democracy as we grow up in a world of casino capitalism where a few individuals control the system thanks to arbitrarily generated currency.
The power of these predatory capitalists, in thrall to the dogma of shareholder value, is beginning to crumble as the monetary system, much like a pyramid scheme, collapses. Surveillance and control are seen as the only solutions to this dilemma – and thus “1984” becomes a reality for all!

The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life

    The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God’s Discerning Power and Experience a Happy Life  God calls, and reveals mysteries each new day. Do you see and hear Him? As we are nearing the close of this earth's history, the distractions of this world become more intense that make it so hard to distinguish the truth from errors. Consider this: When you look at the earth, you see an expression of God's love. You see God's creativity, His Design, His Mind, and automatically, you see His Character. He spoke it, and manifested the earth. Before, there was nothing! Then, He spoke, and the earth was created. So, we are walking on His expression, manifested into a solid thing we live on. What a beautiful sight! But not everyone will see this, and be ready to receive Him. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, they almost lost everything they had, including access to the tree of life. One of those is the discerning power of God. This book, The Gift of Discernment: How to Use God's Discer...
