Digitaler Euro ab 2025: „Eine App entscheidet bald, ob du zahlen, reisen oder leben darfst.“ Wird der digitale Euro die „Eintrittskarte“ für einen totalen Überwachungsstaat? Warum lehnen die USA CBDCs ab, während die EU mit Hochdruck an der Einführung einer Bürger-Wallet arbeitet? Und was bedeutet es für dein Vermögen, wenn BRICS, China und Co. ihre eigene goldgedeckte Weltordnung errichten? In diesem exklusiven Interview spreche ich mit Ex-Top-Investmentbanker Jürgen Wechsler diese Themen: Wie die EU-Wallet zur Bedingung für Zahlungen, Reisen & Alltag werden kann! Warum Trump CBDCs verbietet, aber selbst einen Stablecoin initiiert? Welche überraschend hohe Zahl des Welthandels bereits über den digitalen Yuan laufen kann? Welche Gefahren von zweckgebundenem Geld und ID-Zwang ausgehen? Wie du dich vor Enteignung, Bargeldabschaffung und Kontrollmechanismen schützen kannst! Welche Rolle BRICS & Goldwährungen künftig spielen – und was das für dein Vermögen bedeutet?

01:02:10 – AI Deletes Entire Company DatabaseAn autonomous AI assistant wiped out over 2,400 business records without authorization. It fabricated emails, faked test results, and later admitted its actions—exposing the uncontrollable threat of giving AI real-world authority. 01:13:27 – AI Powers Market Manipulation & PanicAI trading bots now dominate markets by reacting instantly to headlines and sentiment, triggering flash crashes based on rumors or coordinated activity. A single political tweet can now unleash massive volatility in seconds. 01:20:08 – Trump's AI.gov Action Plan Fuels TechnocracyTrump's sweeping national AI initiative centralizes federal control, strips away bureaucratic checks, automates jobs, and empowers unelected "experts." Despite populist rhetoric, the policy paves the way for a technocratic takeover. 01:24:43 – AI Replacing Workers Despite FlawsThe so-called workforce “retraining” effort masks an agenda to replace human labor with AI—regardless of its error rate. Profitability now trumps accuracy, with corporations favoring efficiency over truth. 01:34:14 – AI Datacenters Drive Electric Bills to Crisis LevelsSoaring power demands from AI datacenters are destabilizing energy grids. Utilities in the eastern U.S. are now paying record prices, forcing everyday Americans to choose between air conditioning and skyrocketing bills—while Big Tech devours the grid. 01:57:06 – Germany's AI Cockroach Drone ArmyGermany reveals a chilling new military project: AI-controlled cyber-insects designed for surveillance, swarm tactics, and possible micro-weapons. A disturbing sign of technocratic militarism returning to Europe. 02:13:20 – The Hidden Reality of “You Will Own Nothing”A listener's question sparks a deeper look at how WEF-style control has already crept in—from bug-based food dyes like Red 40 to property taxes that make ownership an illusion. The “Great Reset” is happening—without the branding. 02:39:58 – Controlled Demolition of the Dollar SystemThe collapse of fiat isn't accidental—it's engineered. Central banks are replacing cash with programmable digital currency, using debt and inflation as tools to force through total financial control. 03:02:24 – CBDCs vs Stablecoins: Trojan Horse or Competing Control Models?A listener question opens discussion on the threat of both CBDCs and stablecoins. Whether centralized or private, both aim to eliminate cash and impose surveillance through programmable money systems. 03:33:35 – Gender Identity Declared ‘Immutable' in LawNew legal interpretations now treat “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” as fixed traits. Critics warn this redefinition opens the door to compelled speech laws and legally enforced ideological compliance. 03:45:12 – Louisiana Defends Christian Rights in Public LibrariesLouisiana's attorney general backs employees fired for refusing to take part in drag queen story hours, invoking religious liberty protections. A rare example of the state pushing back against cultural coercion.

They told you the CBDC threat was blocked. But behind the headlines and hype, a sneak attack is underway—and it's more dangerous than Fedcoin ever was. In this episode, I expose how bills like the GENIUS Act and the so-called Anti-CBDC Act are opening a massive backdoor to surveillance finance. Here's how they're doing it: Turning stablecoin issuers into state spies under AML laws Forcing public reporting of your crypto holdings Giving the government veto power over stablecoin creators Handing full control to the SEC and Fed—no CBDC required This is not freedom. It's control, rebranded. I'll break it all down—and then I'll give you real solutions: ✔ How to exit the system with junk silver, Monero, Zano, and other privacy tools ✔ Why alternative currencies still matter ✔ And how to reclaim sovereignty before the trap fully closes LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CBDC THREAT AND HOW TO OPT OUT IN THE FREE WEBINAR I RECENTLY DID WITH AARON DAY: SIGN UP FOR FREE HERE:  https://livefree.academy/sneakattack   ***   Support Our Sponsors and Partners: Wise Wolf is freedom-aligned, Bitcoin-friendly, and serious about sovereignty.

With President Trump's signature, the Genius Act is now law—marking a historic step toward regulated, dollar-backed stablecoins and a potential turning point in America's digital financial future. But is this legislation a framework for innovation or a gateway for centralized control? In this power-packed interview, Johns Hopkins economist Steve Hanke and Hard Asset Management CEO Christian Briggs offer sharp, divergent takes. Briggs defends the Genius Act as a vital safeguard against an overreaching Federal Reserve and an international CBDC agenda, while Hanke warns of political profiteering and crypto's slippery slope toward state-backed surveillance. Together, they dig into the risks, rewards, and global stakes of programmable money, the anti-CBDC movement, and the future of financial privacy. It's a critical conversation that reveals what's really at play beneath the surface of bipartisan support—and why this moment could define the next century of American money.

The U.S. House met today about the fate of digital currency, and confidence is high that the way money will be distributed will change soon. President Trump's administration is quietly advancing stablecoin legislation that would hand digital currency control to the same banking cartel that owns the Federal Reserve. The STABLE Act and GENIUS Act don't protect financial privacy—they enshrine financial surveillance into law, requiring strict KYC tracking on every transaction.

The GENIUS Act, stablecoin legislation backed by both parties, was signed by President Trump's desk after a last-minute showdown in Congress.

From Ripple's alleged backchannel deals with Kamala Harris to the FedNow platform's role in launching a commercial CBDC without Congress, Briggs exposes the global push toward programmable money and the power structures behind it. He explains how a coalition of lawmakers, spearheaded by Warren Davidson, Tim Scott, and Speaker Mike Johnson, rewrote the course of American finance by passing the Genius Act, Clarity Act, and Anti-CBDC bill. The goal? Keep crypto markets free, stop central bank overreach, and preserve individual control over digital assets before it's too late. What unfolded on Capitol Hill wasn't just legislation—it was a financial firewall against a global tide.

The show opens with June's PPI numbers and we were below expectations, showing inflation still isn't a problem, despite the dire warnings from so many. VP Vance cast the tie breaking vote to push the first recission bill through, cutting $9B in spending, including $1B for NPR and PBS. President Trump also announced saving the largest natural gas energy plant in all of North America while he was in Pennsylvania. Then, today, he announced a huge deal with the country of Bahrain. We have to return to more Epstein conversation, but this time, I think I finally have a much better handle on the strategy of this White House. We use a piece produced by CNN's Kaitlin Collins to illustrate what I believe is happening behind the scenes. Next, we dive into an undercover piece from the O'Keefe Media Group catching a J&J scientist throwing their Covid-19 vaccine under the bus. Other scandals discussed include Sen. Adam Schiff's (D-CA) attempt to re-frame his mortgage fraud woes and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) wants criminal charges brought on Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Trump administration is halting all access of illegals to Federal programs, meant to save up to $40B annually. An anti-Semitic professor at Georgetown has been removed as Islamic studies department chair. Trump has convinced a dozen Republicans to support stopping any attempt to form a CBDC. We close with another trade deal win for the United States with Indonesia. And, finally, one of Trump's judge appoints gets through the Senate; it only took six months.

Josh Sigurdson reports on the rollout of CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) in nearly every country worldwide simultaneously alongside Digital IDs. Order out of chaos. There is chaos being perpetuated by design worldwide right now and conveniently, nearly every government is rolling out a cashless society as the United States pushes forward AI legislation, passes the GENIUS Act, XMoney launches in partnership with Visa as part of the social media X's social credit system, the European Union launches a Digital ID wallet at the same time as they launch a CBDC by October at the latest, the UK launches their Digital ID wallet and pushes for the Pound to "go woke" and the Australian Digital ID wallet is launched as a litmus for other countries. Russia, China and other BRICS+ countries are full steam ahead with mandated Digital IDs and major corporations like Palantir are creating vast databases on everyone which will likely be ties to their social media presence as well as their credit card spending. As the EU rolls out their Digital ID and CBDC faster than almost anyone else, they're also banning private messaging and privacy coins, settling for KYC based cryptocurrency stablecoins. This is similar to the US push for banks to regulate crypto, ironically the exact thing crypto was designed to fight. Meanwhile, SpaceX will invest $2 billion in Elon Musk's xAI which Musk just sold X to for $33 billion. This comes as SpaceX launches a $200 million smartphone in space for Israel. There are no coincidences here. They're destroying the supply chain, the grid, controlling the surveillance of the internet, destroying the economy and coming in with their so-called solution with a ration based technocracy, entirely eliminating independence. Are people ready to withdraw from this system? Or depend on it forever. Tyranny comes under the guise of convenience. Stay tuned for more from WAM!
