Andrew Sleigh of Sprott Money recently joined Kai Hoffmann on Soar Financially for a powerful and urgent conversation about unravelling the global monetary system. In this eye-opening episode, Andrew lays out the harsh realities of currency debasement, the silent erosion of purchasing power, and the accelerating push toward Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). With clarity and conviction, Andrew explains why current economic policies are driving us toward what he describes as a modern-day Great Depression. He makes a compelling case for why traditional fiat currencies are failing—and why precious metals like gold and silver remain one of the few reliable stores of value in the face of growing financial instability. Listen today! 

TECHNOLOGY to make our lives easier and more secure will be important tools to build the infrastructure of the prophesied global government.Josh Davis, author of Rise of the One-World Mind, explains how Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and artificial intelligence will help bring about a one-world government and a single religion that worships the Antichrist.

Legendary author and researcher G. Edward Griffin joins us for a powerful and eye-opening conversation on the origins of the Federal Reserve, the evolution of central banking, and the rise of digital control systems.We explore the mechanics of financial manipulation, the psychological warfare shaping global compliance, and the quiet march toward programmable digital currencies. Griffin reveals how collectivist ideology underpins modern governance—and why understanding the real “villain” matters more than ever.From the story behind The Creature from Jekyll Island to the looming threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), this is a must-watch for anyone questioning the system and looking for answers.#FederalReserve #CBDC #globalmarkets

In this episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason and Matt are joined once again by the always insightful Tony Arterburn — a U.S. Army combat veteran, gold and silver expert, and host of the Arterburn Radio Transmission. As the owner of Wise Wolf Gold & Silver Exchange, Tony brings a rare blend of historical perspective, economic literacy, and common sense to every conversation. We kick things off by examining the recent bait-and-switch surrounding Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). While Trump made headlines for “banning” CBDCs, we unpack how stablecoins — now receiving bipartisan support — may serve as their stealth replacement. Tony offers a sober look at how digital assets backed by the state could still usher in a new era of financial surveillance and control under the guise of innovation and safety. From there, we pivot to a deep dive on tariffs and their misunderstood role in American economic policy. Tony breaks down their origins, the mythology surrounding Trump's trade war strategies, and how tariffs often serve political ends while further destabilizing the dollar and punishing consumers. We also get into the larger picture: America's unsustainable debt spiral — now increasing by $1 trillion every 90 days — and what that means for anyone trying to preserve wealth and autonomy. Tony makes the case for why decentralized alternatives like crypto, and sound money assets like gold and silver, are more important than ever as tools of resistance against global economic manipulation. With his signature clarity and depth, Tony helps us navigate the chaos with historical context, practical insights, and a healthy dose of skepticism. He leaves us with a white pill — an optimistic path forward — and some much-needed guidance in uncertain times.

In this episode, we delve into the creation of a pioneering gold-backed bank established in Barbados. Christian discusses the motivation behind launching a bank that leverages precious metals, particularly gold, to offer secure and stable financial services. We explore the global economic trends influencing this move, including concerns over fiat currency devaluation and the increasing interest in asset-backed financial solutions. The discussion delves into the distinctions between decentralized cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, and centralized digital currencies like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). The conversation highlights how decentralized cryptocurrencies operate without a central authority, offering users autonomy and privacy in their transactions. In contrast, CBDCs are issued and regulated by central banks, potentially allowing for increased government oversight and reduced financial privacy.

Is Fort Knox hiding a golden secret? This episode features Tony Arterburn of Wise Wolf Gold as we unravel the enigma of the un-audited gold reserves and the political drama surrounding it. With millions of ounces shifting from London to the United States, the cloak-and-dagger world of gold repatriation raises more questions than answers. Why have prominent Senators like Mike Lee and Rand Paul been denied access to Fort Knox, and what does this mean for the political landscape and chaotic gold markets?We journey into the shifting sands of the global economy, inspired by a presentation at Anarchapulco. From the strategic maneuvers of China in commodities to the dramatic de-dollarization, the international financial stage is set for a transformation. Our discussion touches on the declining purchase of U.S. treasuries by China, the motivations behind central banks' gold acquisitions, and the looming threat of supply chain disruptions. The narrative hints at a world at the brink of a financial upheaval, with gold playing a pivotal role.Lastly, we explore the potential future of money with the advent of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). As 96% of countries develop blueprints for these digital currencies, the episode analyzes how technological advancements challenge traditional economic theories. We consider the implications of CBDCs on surveillance, sovereignty, and the economic reset strategies of global powers, with insights from influential figures like Elon Musk and Jerome Powell. Join us as we untangle these complex threads and speculate on the strategic moves that may shape the financial future.

IS 2025 the year the Mark of the Beast is introduced?It's early in the game for the mark, but it's likely we'll see major efforts to introduce Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) around the world, and this is as close to the mark as anything we've seen in our lifetimes.We look at the situation in Syria and how it may impact the Middle East in general and Israel in particular. We also discuss the claim by some that President Trump's recent actions suggest that he is the Man of Lawlessness. With respect, we disagree; the Antichrist is likely to be younger and have a much wider base of support than Donald Trump.

My guest today is Joana Cotar, a German politician who has been a member of the Bundestag (the German parliament) since 2017. Originally part of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, Joana is now an independent representative promoting Bitcoin and empowering individuals to take control of their financial and personal freedom. In this episode, Joana shares her unique journey - from growing up in communist Romania to entering German politics, resisting Covid measures and mandates and championing freedom through Bitcoin. We discuss her experiences navigating the Bundestag, where she founded the “Bitcoin in the Bundestag” initiative to educate fellow MPs about Bitcoin's potential to empower individuals and solve real-world challenges. While she unpacks the dangers of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), Joana explains how Bitcoin can counteract these risks and why its adoption represents a beacon of hope in the face of increasing state control. ► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

If you are looking for some entertaining Christmas presents, we have some celebratory “One of the 17 Million” Brexit mugs, my new album and other goodies for sale in the Dominic Frisby Shop. Take a look. Something positive for you this Sunday morning - and why we should be grateful for government incompetenceThe idea of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), money that governments and their planners will be able to programme, rightly fills many of us with an Orwellian sense of dread.“Did you not have the vaccine? Oh, well then you don't qualify for the next payment.”“Have you been saying wrong things on social media? Then you don't get the good loan rates.”“We suspect that you might not have paid the right rate of tax, therefore we are deducting what we think you owe and it's up to you to prove otherwise. You want the money back? Please hold …. Your call is important to us.”CBDCs allow for almost unimaginable interference in our lives, intrusions on our privacy and liberty, never mind meddling in the economy. Chinese social credit scores would be just the start of it.When you combine the instincts of, say, the current Labour administration to intervene, together with its incompetence, the ramifications are truly horrifying.Some say CBDCs are inevitable. Technology is destiny and all that. I'm a bit more optimistic. Hete's why.CBDCs have been piloted in numerous countries and fully implemented in:* The Bahamas - the "Sand Dollar"* Nigeria - the "eNaira"* Jamaica - "JAM-DEX"* The Eastern Caribbean Currency UnionNowhere has got them to work. The Bahamas is generally touted as the CBDC success story. My buddy, Dave Skarica, who lives there says, “LOL. I have never seen one person use it.”Why have they failed? People don't use them. When they do use them, they don't work. People prefer the legacy systems they know.CBDCs are yet another government IT project that is doomed to fail.If you are thinking of buying gold to protect yourself in these uncertain times, I recommend The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.You might say the internet was a government IT project. It was . The U.S. government - via ARPA and later DARPA - provided crucial funding that led to the development of key protocols like TCP/IP. But the Internet succeeded because of the immense infrastructure that millions of people, mostly working in their own self-interest, since built over many decades on top of it.Our modern system of debt-based fiat money should long since have imploded under the weight of all the abuse and debasement successive governments have heaped upon it. But it has survived, indeed thrived as a medium of exchange, albeit a terrible store of wealth, because of the incredible fintech architecture that has been built on top of it, again by millions of people over many decades mostly acting in their own self-interest. That architecture is probably what has saved the system. Fiat money is just promissory - worse than that it is a promise of something that isn't even there - but the incredible advances in communication technology that we have seen in the last 150 years - telecommunications, digital technology and all the rest of it - have all enabled the sending and recording of those promises. The fortunes that have been invested have all helped the system evolve and indeed preserved it.Fiat money worked as countries gradually abandoned gold standards over the course of the 20th century because they were the only currencies citizens knew. The payment and saving infrastructure was already built and normalised. The coins and notes and cheques and bank accounts all functioned perfectly well, and there were no alternatives. The removal of the gold backing did not really impact the overall architecture.Government currencies worked in the first place because they were based on gold and silver, which everybody already used and instinctively knew had value. When they weren't debasing their money, rulers, or those working for them, often actually improved the system: coinage, for example, certified the amount of precious metal in a coin and the ruler's stamp legitimised it. Money was based on something people already knew and used and understood. Not so CBDCs. They have no existing infrastructure around them, nor is their use normal. Governments will not be able to design anything decent. They will need the private sector to do that, and this will take many years, perhaps decades before it gets as good as the infrastructure around existing payment systems. It would also take many years and lots of nudges for people to change habitsThe private sector is not going to invest the required amount of money in payment systems if people are not going to use it, so you will end up with a situation, a bit like green energy, where governments will have to spend billions subsidising it in order to make it work, but the actual energy you get is not as good as that provided by fossil fuels: unreliable, more expensive and more damaging to the environment. There will not be the same green arguments - 10 years to save the planet and all that - to justify the spending. The scope for corruption and crony capitalism will be enormous. Again.You really should subscribe.None of this will stop governments trying it, of course. Citizens might slowly start to use the system, particularly if they get free handouts, but it will be a long time before CBDCs reach a level where they compete with existing payment systems. At this point fiat money as we now know it probably won't exist anyway. We tend to forget, but most nations as we currently know them are only about 200 years old. Many won't exist in 50 or 100 years time. They'll go bankrupt and break apart. What will happen to their money?There is the possibility of demanding that taxes are paid in CBDCs, I suppose, but again this opens up so much scope for outcry, waste and inefficiency, I just can't see it working.People within the blob look at bitcoin and admire it and think they can copy it, but even bitcoin is what it is, not so much because of Satoshi Nakamoto's genius invention, but because of the way hundreds of thousands of people in the free market embraced it and built on top of it. The reason they did was, again, self-interest: the value of bitcoin kept going up. Every bit of bitcoin fintech, every podcast, every tweet - every transaction. They all help the bitcoin price. It's a colossal open-source contribution and movement. There is not the same incentive with CBDCs. Their value is never going to go up. Quite the opposite. Their value will fall as governments issue more and more of them. There is not the same incentive.To have any chance of working, CBDCs will require billions and billions of subsidy. Most governments do not have the resources. They are already bankrupt. They will struggle to justify the expense. Health or welfare or pensions or something will be deemed more important. Plus they will meet with huge resistance from the freedom-fighters and possibly even the media .None of this will stop them trying of course. But on this issue at least you can sleep soundly. CBDCs are one Orwellian nightmare that is not going to work. They will end up yet another failed government IT project.All ye from the future look back on this ‘ere prescient article and marvel at my foresight.If you are interested in this subject, take a look at my song, Programmable Money.Tell your friends about this amazing article.A reminder about those mugs, my album and other fun Christmas presents - all for sale in the Dominic Frisby Shop.

Doug Stuart chats with Aaron Day, a seasoned entrepreneur, investor, advisor, author, and political activist with nearly three decades of experience across various cutting-edge sectors. Aaron, who is a fellow at the Brownstone Institute and Chairman/CEO of the Daylight Freedom Foundation, shares his journey through the liberty movement and his experiences that shaped his critical stance on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).Aaron details three pivotal radicalizations in his life, starting with his exposure to the crony nature of venture capital, the devastating impact of government regulations on his healthcare company, and his involvement with the Free State Project that led him towards cryptocurrency and blockchain as tools for resisting centralized control.The discussion takes a deep dive into the current threat posed by CBDCs, how they could usher in a global social credit system, and limit financial competition. Aaron warns of the erosion of freedoms through increased financial surveillance and control, advocating for the use of alternative currencies like cryptocurrency, gold, and silver to maintain financial sovereignty. He emphasizes a DIY approach to financial independence, discussing practical steps in adopting cryptocurrencies and gold-backed debit cards.The episode also explores the problematic nature of venture capitalism, revealing its reliance on taxpayer money and political connections, which Aaron argues distorts true capitalist ideals. He scrutinizes the current financial regulatory system, highlighting how it restricts investment opportunities to the wealthy and protects established interests.Aaron also touches on the concept of a single global currency backed by energy credits, linking it to broader trends in financial control and environmental agendas. His analysis offers a sobering view on the future of financial systems and the critical need for vigilance and noncompliance.Audio Production by Podsworth Media - https://podsworth.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Christian is guest speaker on Jameson Heygood's A Good Fight radio show, and they speak about many topics, including how Russia is stockpiling gold, updates on new countries moving to Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), the western banking intentional collapse of our fiat currency into a CBDC, and the latest on the Kamala Harris advancement and what the democrats are going to do to remain in control of this country with the illegal immigrants, and then a deep analysis of her policies.

The advent of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) poses a critical threat to the financial privacy, independence, and future of Americans. With SWIFT, the global payment messaging system, announcing its CBDC platform rollout in the next 12 to 24 months, the danger looms large. CBDCs provide central bankers and governments with the unprecedented ability to control personal financial transactions, deciding how and where citizens can spend their money. With CBDCs, cash, a traditional safeguard of privacy, will be replaced, leaving individuals vulnerable to complete surveillance and control over their financial decisions. The collaboration between global elites, Wall Street, and governments aims to erode the power of national currencies, and with support from organizations like the Bank of International Settlements, individuals will face even more restrictions. As countries around the world move to gold and silver-backed currencies, the U.S. dollar is being deliberately weakened to make way for a digital currency revolution. This global shift, coordinated by financial powers and facilitated through technology giants like Palantir and others, threatens to reshape not only how money functions but also how privacy is respected in an increasingly surveilled world.

In Part two of our discussion with Mel Mattison we explore the role of the securities entitlements during financial crises. This is a subject brought to light by David Rogers Webb in 'The Great Taking.' In times of crisis, corporations implement backup strategies, like plan B for drastic situations where the insolvency of major financial institutions might trigger the verge of collapse for derivatives. In the event a financial entity fails to honor winning bets in derivative markets, creditors can seize securities in brokerage accounts as collateral. This scenario, referred to as 'The Great Taking,' elicits concerns over asset confiscation, affecting not only stocks and bonds but also tangible assets like property and vehicles. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) advocates for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). CBDCs preserve the fractional reserve system yet provide benefits such as instantaneous settlement and seamless cross-border transactions. Central banks perceive alternative payment systems like stablecoins as competition due to their existence outside the banking sector. Russia's move to distance itself from Western financial institutions and prioritize gold as a reserve asset signifies a break from the US dollar system and a possible resurgence of gold as a monetary metal. Central banks have resumed buying gold after decades of disposal, possibly contributing to an increase in its value. Gold provides advantages over digital assets like Bitcoin due to its untraceability and absence of intermediaries or complex accounting on the blockchain. Mattison underscores the significance of possessing assets outside the present financial framework with minimal risk. Tangible assets such as real estate and precious metals like gold, silver are favored alternatives for maintaining worth during a dysfunctional system. The speaker expects continued expansion in the stock market's speculative phase but anticipates instability upon the onset of the crisis. He suggests farmland or open land as a more secure alternative to residential property. Despite his confidence in Trump, he acknowledges that Trump alone cannot remedy the fundamental issues. The political landscape is intriguing with various forces influencing events.

Central banks consider adopting CBDCs for benefits like instant settlement and seamless cross-border transactions, while viewing stablecoins as competition. The Lummis-Gillibrand Act mandates stablecoin storage at Federal Reserve Depository Institutions for data access. Central banks are resuming gold buying and Russia prioritizes it as a reserve asset, contributing to its increased value due to untraceability and absence of intermediaries.

Jason discusses the ease of doing business in the U.S. compared to Europe, despite the U.S. having issues like a problematic food supply and political corruption. He emphasizes the advantages of greed in business motivation. He then highlights Morgan Stanley's view that U.S. homeowners are resilient in the current market, with 39% mortgage-free and others holding low-rate mortgages. He also explains the misleading nature of foreclosure statistics, which have tripled from extremely low COVID-era levels but remain minimal compared to the Great Recession. Join Jason's monthly Zoom masterclass at jasonhartman.com/wednesday. Jason then welcomes back Ivor Cummins. They talk about how censorship limits public awareness of itself, making it hard for people to recognize it. Companies like Dropbox, Google Drive, and WeTransfer are controlled by influential entities pushing agendas like ESG and DEI. These companies, often influenced by the WEF and elite investors, promote global shifts towards authoritarian governance. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and other technologies are potential tools for unprecedented control. Resistance is growing with some leaders and organizations pushing back. The public can support this resistance by backing relevant groups, using cash, and fostering local networks. #CensorshipAwareness #FreeSpeech #DigitalFreedom #WEF #BigTechControl #CorporateInfluence #GlobalGovernance #FreedomOfInformation #EconomicReset #DigitalCurrency #PrivacyRights #SocialControl #FinancialIndependence #TechCensorship #GlobalElites #InflationImpact #BankingChallenges #SurveillanceState #PandemicPlanning #SocietalChange #PublicPrivatePartnership #Fascism #EnvironmentalPolicy #Totalitarianism #Prepping #CommunitySupport #AlternativeMedia   Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 1:29 Greed is good 3:01 Morgan Stanley: Homeowners are the 'strong hands' 4:15 Foreclosure activity 5:36 Join our monthly Zoom meeting!
