Glenn Beck. How the Fed's FedNow program WILL end in a Central Bank Digital Currency. EXPLAINED: How the Fed's FedNow program WILL end in a Central Bank Digital Currency FedNow launched in midst of banking crisis, is it a precursor to CBDCs, 'totalitarian' control?   EXPLAINED: How the Fed's FedNow program WILL end in a CBDC The Federal Reserve's new service for banks, called FedNow, promises increased flexibility, faster transactions, and instant payments with one, small cost: The potential END to your financial freedom. In this clip, Glenn is joined by Justin Haskins, co-author of their new book, ‘Dark Future.' Haskins explains how — despite what the Federal Reserve may say — this new service is NOT an alternative to a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)…rather, it's a giant stepping stone toward it. Watch Glenn tackle this topic further in his upcoming Glenn TV Wednesday Night Special, airing on YouTube and BlazeTV.com on March 29th https://youtu.be/OE5zysSp8kA Glenn Beck 1.05M subscribers 38,177 views Mar 27, 2023 . ► Click HERE to subscribe to Glenn Beck on YouTube: https://bit.ly/2UVLqhL ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV: get.blazetv.com/glenn ► Click HERE to subscribe to BlazeTV YouTube:     / @blazetv   ► Click HERE to sign up to Glenn's newsletter: https://www.glennbeck.com/st/Morning_...

Richard Werner, Economics Professor and Author of "Princes of the Yen," and Michelle Makori, Editor-in-Chief and Lead Anchor at Kitco News, discuss the Federal Reserve's FedNow instant payments system, and whether it will be used to usher in Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), digital tokens issued and controlled by central banks. Werner explains what CBDCs are, and warns that they will be used to bring about 'totalitarian' control and a surveillance economy. He also proposes that the recent banking crisis and consolidation of banks could be used as an excuse to bring about CBDCs, and suggests political solutions that might prevent CBDCs from being implemented.  Werner's book at Quantum Publishers: https://quantumpublishers.com/ Watch this interview at- https://youtu.be/rB_kSDWw2hk Kitco NEWS 566K subscribers 162,253 views Mar 20, 2023 #cbdc #money #banking Follow Michelle Makori on Twitter: @MichelleMakori (https://twitter.com/MichelleMakori) Follow Kitco News on Twitter: @KitcoNewsNOW (https://twitter.com/KitcoNewsNOW) Follow Richard Werner on Twitter: @scientificecon (https://twitter.com/scientificecon) 0:00 - Central Bank Digital Currencies 16:41 - Cashless society 21:00 - Government overreach 27:17 - FedNow instant payments 30:22 - Banking crisis 37:13 - Legislation against CBDCs #cbdc #banking #money __________________________________________________________________ Kitco NEWS is a global news network based in Montreal, with bureaus in New York, Hong Kong, New Mexico, London and Vancouver.

April 1, 2023 is the 20th anniversary of the Asian pop icon's death. Synopsis: Can I Tell You Something Crazy is a new scripted series under the #PopVultures banner, which examines with fresh eyes, events that shook Asian media and entertainment.  On April 1, 2003, the world was shocked by the loss of one of the most beloved, enduring and seductive stars to ever grace screens. Singer and actor Leslie Cheung died by suicide at the age of 46, leaping to his death from the 24th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong, after succumbing to a battle with severe depression. 2003 was a dark year for Hong Kong. The Sars epidemic ravaged the city. Yet, Cheung's death ignited a wave of public grieving, with people lining the streets outside his memorial to mourn him. The singer-actor was beloved and known for his androgynous style onstage and his acclaimed performances in films like Days Of Being Wild (1990), Farewell My Concubine (1993) and Happy Together (1997) onscreen. Off screen, his personal life, especially his sexuality, was highly scrutinised.  Host Jan Lee celebrates Cheung's life on the 20th anniversary of his death. She looks at the star's legacy as a queer icon - both in his pop music and his film roles - and how his tragic end highlighted the stigma around mental health and his own sexual orientation.

In December of 2022, I traveled to Hong Kong, at some point en-route or in-country, I contracted covid. Backing up a step in preparation for the trip I was required to have a negative PCR before I could board the plane from the US as well as proof of vaccination and at least one booster shot. HKSAR Department of Health - Health Declaration Form (https://hdf.chp.gov.hk/dhehd/hdf.jsp?lang=en-us) Upon arrival, I was required to quarantine for 3 days as well as take a home test (referred to as RAT: Rapid Antigen Test, by the locals) every day for the first 7 days On the 2nd full day in HK, I was required to take another clinical PCR provided at a health center, free of charge. On the third day I received my PCR and RAT tests as Covid Positive. By law I was now required to quarantine in my hotel until I tested negative on 2 consecutive days. Since my symptoms were very mild, a sniffle and low grade temp, merely 2-3 deg above normal, I could stay in the hotel and was not required to transfer to a public health center. I was also required to register the positive results with a government website. This registration kicked off a series of events, including a visit from a health representative. (he stood in the hall, I was not permitted to leave the room) I was Required to install an app on my phone called "Stay Home Safe'' and to wear a wristband that I presume was a GPS and possibly temp/pulse tracking device that connected to my phone by bluetooth. The agent installed the app, and synced the watch to it. The complete shownotes are available downloaded from http://bookewyrmm.42web.io/covid.html

Only 6 U.S. banks will be left by 2025 paving way for a Central Bank Digital Currency. Edward Dowd https://youtu.be/A2G3MAxdZfU Kitco NEWS 561K subscribers 307,242 views Mar 24, 2023 #money #federalreserve #banking Edward Dowd, Founder of Phinance Technologies and former BlackRock fund manager, and Michelle Makori, Editor-in-Chief and Lead Anchor at Kitco News, discuss the Federal Reserve's latest rate hikes, and why Dowd thinks Fed Chair Powell will be "forced" to cut rates by June of 2023, leading to a "controlled implosion" of the banking sector. Dowd forecasts that as banks consolidate, only 6 major banks will be left standing by 2025, paving the way for Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), digital fiat tokens issued and controlled by central banks. This, Dowd claims, could lead to "total government control" and a potentially dystopian future . Dowd also sees the dollar losing its dominance on the world stage with a "kinetic war" breaking out as the BRICS countries launch their own reserve currency. 0:00 - Fed outlook 9:56 - Inflection point 12:00 - Banking crisis 16:02 - Six banks left standing 18:17 - Central bank digital currencies 23:14 - Resisting CBDCs 26:39 - Hidden agendas 28:12 - New monetary system 31:11 - U.S. Dollar dominance 33:30 - De-dollarization and war 37:10 - Investment implications 39:00 - Civil unrest 40:48 - New book and report #banking #federalreserve #money __________________________________________________________________ Kitco NEWS is a global news network based in Montreal, with bureaus in New York, Hong Kong, New Mexico, London and Vancouver.

Thank you for being part of the conversation. This is Play It Forward. Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward Episode 566 With Actor Scott Adkins From John Wick 4 John Wick Chapter 4 puts one of our greatest action heroes in a giant prosthetic suit The John Wick movies are a stuntman's franchise. Directors Chad Stahelski and David Leitch are legendary stunt performers and coordinators, and one of the joys of their movies getting bigger with each installment is seeing Stahelski (who now directs the films solo) fold in more and more action pros from around the world, like Mark Dacascos of Wu Assassins fame or The Raid's Yayan Ruhian. John Wick: Chapter 4 continues this tradition, notably with Hong Kong star Donnie Yen and the king of direct-to-video action himself, Scott Adkins - but like we've never seen him before.

Show Sponsor AnyQuestion - https://link.anyquestion.com/Greg-Bennett   Support the show at https://www.patreon.com/user?u=26936856 "The Greg Bennett Show"   In this episode of The Greg Bennett Show, Greg is joined by Leighton Phillips - founder of the world-leading, Low-Carb, High Fat nutrition company that supports endurance performance, SFuels. Leighton comes from a long history of healthcare professionals in his family, and he himself studied naturopathic medicine and computer science, and he has an entrepreneurial mindset.   While training for Triathlon and Ultra endurance events, he found that the market for fueling drinks and bars was full of sugar, syrup, and refined grains. With his nutrition training and ultra-endurance racing experience - he knew he could create something better. So after many years of product development, SFuels was born.   SFuels was developed with sports physiologist and world-renowned coach Dr. Dan Plews, Ultramarathon world record holder Zach Bitter, Olympic Triathlon medalist Hayden Wilde and many other world class endurance experts.   Timestamps 2:33 - Greg and Leighton rewind the clock and Leighton explains his early interests and achievements in sport and then onto sport science. Avoid Bonking - Finish Stronger - Reduce Gut Stress 10:00 - After finding a love for sport as a young man, Leighton combined his love for nutrition & natural medicine, his tech skills and knowledge, and mixed it with his entreprenurial mindset to develop his first business in Hong Kong. He tested his first prototype products on himself in 2016 with the aim for helping with inflammation (rather than low-carb) 13:35 - Sports Scientist & IRONMAN® Kona Age Group Record Holder & World Class Coach Dr. Dan Plews got involved with Leighton and they went through 17 iterations of their first nutrition training sports nutrition bar. ... the market for training drinks and bars was full of sugar, syrup and refined grains 21:56 - Greg & Leighton discuss some of the highs and lows Leighton has had in the process of starting and building SFuels. The joy is in the journey ... 25:09 - Leighton is an Ultra-Marathon runner and discusses the various races he has competed in and the challenges of each race. It's one thing for a product to feel good taste good while youre sitting on a couch ... but when youre 6 hours into a ride run, how that thing tastes and it's texture can be quite different, so testing product in those duress situations has been an added bonus for Leighton and his scientific team. Don't forget to check out Any Question and ask Greg Bennett any question you want 28:30 - Leighton explains how they came up with the company name SFuels. 33:29 - When Zach Bitter decided to set the record for a sub 7 minute/mile over 100 miles during COVID lockdowns, Leighton saw it as an opportunity to run the event on social media and get the SFuels name out to the world. 30,000 people watched Zach live running on treadmill. 37:46 - Leighton describes how they were measuring and what improvements they saw in pro athletes and their Fat & Carbohydrate oxidation. The improvements saw athletes improve from 165 watts on the bike ... to 300 watts on the bike. Fat Oxidation x3 improvement - Power x2 improvement 41:22 - Leighton explains the meaning behind the SFuels slogan - Right Fuel - Right Time 45:01 - Not a high performance athlete? Leighton and SFuels definitely have product plans for the day-to-day nutrition customers. Greg & Leighton explain the product range and how you can tap into the benefits. 47:15 - Mitigate Gut Distress. Lower Inflammation Through efficient oxidation of fat for fuel, athletes do NOT need to over-consume sugar in races, mitigating Gut/GI distress and lowering inflammation. Gut repair and recovery 51:53 - The science is still catching up to understand the role of nutrients and how it affects heart rate variability. Taking nutrients to help breakthrough the reserach and help in training and race performance is achievable and very real right now. Sport and application is way ahead of the research Books mentioned: Who Moved My Cheese? - Spencer Johnson & Kenneth Blanchard Only the Paranoid Survive - Andrew s.

This week: Art Basel Hong Kong bounces back. After cancellations, delays and two years of restricted fairs, the fair has returned to something like pre-Covid normality. So, as other Asian art centres like Seoul and Singapore become increasingly influential, what is the atmosphere like in Hong Kong? Gareth Harris, chief contributing editor at The Art Newspaper, joins us to discuss the fair, the M+ museum and more. It is becoming increasingly clear that social media corporations have become self-appointed cultural gatekeepers that decide which works of art can freely circulate, be pushed into the digital margins or even banned. Our live editor, Aimee Dawson, talks to the artist Emma Shapiro and Elizabeth Larison, the Director of the Arts & Culture Advocacy Program at the National Coalition Against Censorship, about the issue and a project to counter this tendency, called Don't Delete Art. And this episode's Work of the Week is Naabami (thou shall/will see): Barangaroo (army of me), a photographic project by Brenda L. Croft, in which she depicts fellow First Nations women and girls. The work is part of The National 4: Australian Art Now, a survey across multiple venues in Sydney. One of the show's curators, Beatrice Gralton, tells us about Croft's epic series.Art Basel Hong Kong, until 25 March.Visit Don't Delete Art: dontdelete.artThe National 4: Australian Art Now continues until 23 July.

La vue est belle. Devant moi, une gigan-tesque baie vitrée et une perspective à couper le souffle sur la baie de Hong Kong. Si je baisse la tête, je vois, 300 mètres plus bas, des points qui bougent, des voitures miniatures, des lumières et des ombres. La fourmilière du quartier de Causeway-Bay est en mouvement.

Hong Kong détient l'étonnant record (mondial) de la plus haute proportion de femmes dans ses prisons : 19.7% de la population carcérale est féminine. La principale raison de cette statistique étonnante est la longueur des peines qui sont attribuées aux détenues, et en particulier aux mules, qui ont apporté de la drogue à Hong Kong et qui se retrouvent coupées de leurs familles à des milliers de kilomètres de chez elles. Mais depuis les événements de 2019, ce sont aussi des jeunes étudiantes qui se retrouvent enfermées pour plusieurs années à Hong Kong.  «Hong Kong, être femme derrière les barreaux», un Grand reportage de Florence de Changy.
