Podcasts about international settlements

Andy Schectman returns to the program to expose the global power shifts unfolding behind the scenes—shifts that most Americans remain dangerously unaware of. While the media, academia, and elected officials are mostly silent, unelected financial elites are stepping into unprecedented positions of authority. Canada is now led by Mark Carney, a central banker turned Prime Minister, and the Bank for International Settlements is headed by Agustín Carstens, Mexico's former finance minister—a sign that the global economic realignment is being orchestrated far beyond the ballot box.This conversation is part of our ongoing Friday night series, where we pull back the curtain on the forces reshaping the world—and how they will directly impact your financial future and national sovereignty.

On this episode of Crazy Wisdom, I'm joined by David Pope, Commissioner on the Wyoming Stable Token Commission, and Executive Director Anthony Apollo, for a wide-ranging conversation that explores the bold, nuanced effort behind Wyoming's first-of-its-kind state-issued stable token. I'm your host Stewart Alsop, and what unfolds in this dialogue is both a technical unpacking and philosophical meditation on trust, financial sovereignty, and what it means for a government to anchor itself in transparent, programmable value. We move through Anthony's path from Wall Street to Web3, the infrastructure and intention behind tokenizing real-world assets, and how the U.S. dollar's future could be shaped by state-level innovation. If you're curious to follow along with their work, everything from blockchain selection criteria to commission recordings can be found at stabletoken.wyo.gov.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 – David Pope and Anthony Apollo introduce themselves, clarifying they speak personally, not for the Commission. You, Stewart, set an open tone, inviting curiosity and exploration.05:00 – Anthony shares his path from traditional finance to Ethereum and government, driven by frustration with legacy banking inefficiencies.10:00 – Tokenized bonds enter the conversation via the Spencer Dinwiddie project. Pope explains early challenges with defining “real-world assets.”15:00 – Legal limits of token ownership vs. asset title are unpacked. You question whether anything “real” has been tokenized yet.20:00 – Focus shifts to the Wyoming Stable Token: its constitutional roots and blockchain as a tool for fiat-backed stability without inflation.25:00 – Comparison with CBDCs: Apollo explains why Wyoming's token is transparent, non-programmatic, and privacy-focused.30:00 – Legislative framework: the 102% backing rule, public audits, and how rulemaking differs from law. You explore flexibility and trust.35:00 – Global positioning: how Wyoming stands apart from other states and nations in crypto policy. You highlight U.S. federalism's role.40:00 – Topics shift to velocity, peer-to-peer finance, and risk. You connect this to Urbit and decentralized systems.45:00 – Apollo unpacks the stable token's role in reinforcing dollar hegemony, even as BRICS move away from it.50:00 – Wyoming's transparency and governance as financial infrastructure. You reflect on meme coins and state legitimacy.55:00 – Discussion of Bitcoin reserves, legislative outcomes, and what's ahead. The conversation ends with vision and clarity.Key InsightsWyoming is pioneering a new model for state-level financial infrastructure. Through the creation of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission, the state is developing a fully-backed, transparent stable token that aims to function as a public utility. Unlike privately issued stablecoins, this one is mandated by law to be 102% backed by U.S. dollars and short-term treasuries, ensuring high trust and reducing systemic risk.The stable token is not just a tech innovation—it's a philosophical statement about trust. As David Pope emphasized, the transparency and auditability of blockchain-based financial instruments allow for a shift toward self-auditing systems, where trust isn't assumed but proven. In contrast to the opaque operations of legacy banking systems, the stable token is designed to be programmatically verifiable.Tokenized real-world assets are coming, but we're not there yet. Anthony Apollo and David Pope clarify that most "real-world assets" currently tokenized are actually equity or debt instruments that represent ownership structures, not the assets themselves. The next leap will involve making the token itself the title, enabling true fractional ownership of physical or financial assets without intermediary entities.This initiative strengthens the U.S. dollar rather than undermining it. By creating a transparent, efficient vehicle for global dollar transactions, the Wyoming Stable Token could bolster the dollar's role in international finance. Instead of competing with the dollar, it reinforces its utility in an increasingly digital economy—offering a compelling alternative to central bank digital currencies that raise concerns around surveillance and control.Stable tokens have the potential to become major holders of U.S. debt. Anthony Apollo points out that the aggregate of all fiat-backed stable tokens already represents a top-tier holder of U.S. treasuries. As adoption grows, state-run stable tokens could play a crucial role in sovereign debt markets, filling gaps left by foreign governments divesting from U.S. securities.Public accountability is central to Wyoming's approach. Unlike private entities that can change terms at will, the Wyoming Commission is legally bound to go through a public rulemaking process for any adjustments. This radical transparency offers both stability and public trust, setting a precedent for how digital public infrastructure can be governed.The ultimate goal is to build a bridge between traditional finance and the Web3 future. Rather than burn the old system down, Pope and Apollo are designing the stable token as a pragmatic transition layer—something institutions can trust and privacy advocates can respect. It's about enabling safe experimentation and gradual transformation, not triggering collapse.

ABOUT THIS CONVERSATION: In this conversation, I sat down with Patrick Wood to uncover the hidden forces driving global governance through technocracy. He traced its historical roots, ideological clashes with communism, and modern rebranding under sustainable development and globalisation.We examined the influence of the Trilateral Commission, central banks, and the Bank of International Settlements in shaping policy. Patrick revealed how technocrats seek control over economies and human behavior using AI, social engineering, and digital currencies. Public-private partnerships, he warned, serve as Trojan horses for eroding private ownership and consolidating elite power.We also discussed reflexive law, which twists legal frameworks to serve technocratic agendas, and explored the role of resistance, community action, and the human spirit in countering this expanding control grid.Technocracy affects every aspect of our lives—our health, our freedoms, our future. This is one of the most important conversations I've had in nearly two years.Much love Doc xLinksX https://x.com/StopTechnocracy Website

This week has the potential to be one of the most significant weeks in the history of money.36 world leaders, including China's Xi Jinping, India's Narendra Modi, and UN Secretary-General António Guterres, are meeting in Kazan, Russia for the BRICS summit. The main agenda of the summit is de-dollarization. Even The Guardian has noticed. “One of the main aims of the summit,” it says, “will be to speed up ways to reduce the number of dollar transactions, and so mitigate the US ability to use the threat of sanctions to seek to impose its political will.”I'm not convinced the 36 nations in attendance are quite ready to abandon the dollar, or even make overt declarations of war against it, but for sure we will gain insights as to where we are in the grand scheme of this inevitable move away. We will learn where we are with the alternative payment systems being developed, be it BRICS Pay or mBridge.The most powerful weapon these nations have against the dollar is gold—far stronger than China's yuan, or Russia's rouble, or any other currency basket or crypto amalgam they come up with. Gold is universal money, and its value is understood by all. There has never been a global reserve currency that did not start out backed by gold. How ready these nations are to re-adopt it, we shall soon discover.In any case, gold has been rallying relentlessly into the de-dollarisation story. We are at $2,740/oz now. Amazing. Perhaps this is a case of ‘buy the rumour, sell the news.' Whatever. Could be in the short or even medium term. But that's not the attitude. Owning physical gold is an urgent necessity at the moment. Things are just too precarious. You don't want to be letting go of long-term core holdings on the basis of potential short-term movements.I am watching developments closely.If you are 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, US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.The Silver Surge: Is $50 the Next Stop?In the meantime, ever unreliable silver has been playing catch-up. It's gone through all that resistance around $30-33 and has, having done a near-perfect inverted head and shoulders, now broken up to $35. I think it's going back to $50.There is some resistance at $35, $37.50, and $44.You know my views on silver. It's the metal with the most potential yet, if it can find a way, it will always let you down.Its natural price is 1/15th of the gold price, because there is only 15 times as much silver in the earth's crust as there is gold. With gold at $2,700, silver “should” therefore be $180.In fact, there is a case for silver to be higher than that because, while all the gold that has ever been mined remains, the silver does not—it has been consumed. So above-ground silver stocks do not reflect gold stocks.The problem is that silver has long since been demonetised. It lost its monetary status when the world adopted gold standards after the various gold rushes in the second half of the 19th century. Without this official backing, silver is only going to be an industrial metal, albeit a precious one. Gold may no longer be an official medium of exchange, but central banks still buy and hoard it, as do corporations and private investors. The Bank of International Settlements recognises it as a Tier 1 Capital Asset. The same does not apply to silver.Silver, as we know, also has a multitude of industrial uses, which are only going to increase as the world gets more computerised and electric. There is also some evidence of silver shortages—over 200 million ounces this year, a similar amount to annual jewellery demand. Total annual silver demand is around 1.2 billion ounces—the second highest on record. 836 million ounces of that come from new mine supply, 180 million ounces from recycling, and the rest from sales of existing supply.Demand looks something like this:* 61% industrial (electrical, electronics, photovoltaics, photography & other) * 17% Jewellery * 5% Silverware * 17% Investment When silver moves, it moves fast, and it can turn on a sixpence, so it's important not to get wedded to the silver story. The thing to remember about silver is, like errant girlfriends with personality disorders, if it can let you down, it will. The lovemaking will be unforgettable, you will have the time of your life, but, as sure as eggs are eggs, it will break your heart. Manage your risk.As I say, there is not a lot standing in the way of silver and $50. In that scenario, the miners will go to the moon.If it goes to $50, that will only be the third time in silver's history it made it here—1980 and 2011 being the other two occasions. Third time lucky and all that. If it breaks above $50, there is nothing but blue sky above. Maybe it'll go to $100 or even $180. It's a maniacal metal.Here's that amazing long-term chart.How am I playing it?I may be cynical, but I also think you should always have a position in silver. Its potential is too huge.I own a silver miner that is just coming into commercial production and therefore due a re-rating. It will make a fortune at $50 silver, but it doesn't need $50 silver to work.That company is …

【図解】デジタル通貨による国際送金のイメージ将来の普及が見込まれるデジタル通貨を用いた越境決済の実現に向け、官民共同の国際プロジェクトが動きだした。 Four Japanese banks are among over 40 commercial financial institutions participating in an international demonstration test for cross-border payments using digital currencies led by the Bank for International Settlements.

Unaccountable, unelected, globalist bodies, such as the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the World Economic Forum, the World Bank, the Bank of International Settlements and others, are attempting a coup, giving themselves powers to take away our sovereignty. Reggie Littlejohn joins us with news on a bill that just passed the House to stop this, and other ways to take action. Anti-Globalist International – Resisting the Great Reset. (antiglobalist.net)

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.

Kevin Freeman sits down with an IT expert and former Bank for International Settlements contractor to uncover startling truths about central bank digital currencies. Our guest details the potential for absolute control CBDCs could give central banks, drawing from his experiences in a Latin American country plagued by currency devaluation. They delve into the technological feasibility of such systems and discuss possible solutions to mitigate the looming financial control, including the idea of a gold- and silver-backed digital currency. Could implementing these alternatives protect us from economic turmoil?

The distinction lies not in the science itself, but in the hands that wield it. When harnessed for the betterment of society, progress is indeed assured. However, when it falls prey to the insidious interests of the powerful, the masses are left to suffer the consequences.Before you continue, please consider giving this article a like to help other people find it. Thank you! The unholy trinity of electrical engineering, banking, and social engineering has given rise to a new era of technocratic tyranny. The fact that the same principles that govern the flow of electricity can be applied to the flow of capital and the manipulation of human behavior is a chilling testament to the boundless ingenuity of those who seek to control us. The Elite have long recognized the potential of Science to further their interests, and have spared no effort in exploiting its power to maintain their grip on society.The foundation of Technocracy is rooted in the dogmatic ideology of Scientism, a philosophy that seeks to supplant traditional values and spiritual beliefs with a narrow, reductionist worldview. By elevating Science to the status of absolute truth, Scientism attempts to monopolize the narrative, dismissing any opposing perspectives as inferior or irrelevant. This rigid adherence to a singular ideology is a hallmark of totalitarian thinking, where dissent is not tolerated and critical inquiry is discouraged.The assertion that Scientism upholds Atheism, defined as the absence of belief in any god, is a gross oversimplification that betrays a profound ignorance of the complexities of human spirituality. The notion that one's understanding of the divine must be confined to the narrow parameters of biblical dogma is a laughable attempt to stifle the diversity of human experience. What of those who reverence the natural world as the ultimate reality, or who find solace in the mystical traditions of Eastern spirituality? Are they to be dismissed as atheists simply because their conception of the divine transcends the petty squabbles of biblical literalism?The practice of labeling and categorization is a pernicious aspect of Scientism, serving only to stifle nuanced discussion and reduce complex ideas to simplistic, binary oppositions. The term “conspiracy theorist” has become a pejorative, used to discredit and marginalize those who dare to question the official narrative. This kind of intellectual McCarthyism is a hallmark of totalitarian regimes, where dissent is pathologized and critical thinking is discouraged.Those who peddle this brand of Scientism are complicit in the destruction they have wrought upon the world. By elevating their own narrow ideology to the status of absolute truth, they justify the ravaging of the environment, the exploitation of the poor, and the erosion of civil liberties. Theirs is a worldview that is fundamentally at odds with the values of empathy, compassion, and intellectual curiosity that have always defined humanity at its best.The insidious game of cat and mouse, where the Dark Masters employ their favorite tactics of compartmentalization and redefinition to obfuscate their true intentions. By carefully calibrating their language, they seek to manipulate the narrative, sowing confusion and doubt among the unsuspecting masses. It is a clever ruse, designed to conceal the sinister agenda that lurks beneath the surface.It is important for us to confront the reality that the true struggle is not between good and evil, but between competing factions vying for control of the planet. The choice, it seems, is not between light and darkness, but between the geopoliticians and the progressive technicians. Who would you prefer to hold the reins of power? The answer, much like the truth, remains shrouded in uncertainty.A Lily Bit is a reader-supported publication.

Internationalistic in viewpoint, the C.F.R., along with the Atlantic Union Movement, and the Atlantic Council of the U.S., believes national boundaries should be obliterated and one-world rule established … What the Trilaterals truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political government of the nation-states involved. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the world … In my view, the Trilateral Commission represents a skillful, coordinated effort to seize control and consolidate the four centers of power: political, monetary, intellectual, and ecclesiastical.” — (With No Apologies, [1979], the auto-biography by Senator Barry Goldwater, pp. 128, 284).The New International Economic OrderThe goal of “transforming government” is a euphemism for a far more sinister agenda. It becomes clear that the ambitions of those behind this new order extend far beyond the realm of politics, and that the very fabric of our society is being transformed before our eyes.The plans for a New International Economic Order are part of a much larger scheme to create a one-world government, with the technocrats firmly in control. This raises important questions about the future of our world and the role that we will play in it.The Bank for International Settlements is just one of the many threads that are woven together to create a tapestry of deceit and corruption. The true nature of this new order is slowly coming to light, and it is clear that it is not in the best interests of the general population.The New International Economic Order is a far-reaching and complex plan to transform our society. At its core, it seeks to reshape the world in the image of its creators, with a focus on control, manipulation, and exploitation.The primary targets of this transformation are:* Economics: The creation of a new economic order, with a focus on sustainable development and the Green Economy.* Government: The transformation of government, with a focus on technocratic control and the erosion of national sovereignty.* Religion: The undermining of traditional religious values and the promotion of a new, secular spirituality.* Law: The creation of a new, global legal framework, with a focus on international law and the erosion of national laws.* Energy: The control of energy resources, with a focus on sustainable energy and the reduction of individual freedom.* Humanity: The transformation of humanity, with a focus on human enhancement and the merger of man and machine.But who is behind this transformation? The answer is clear:* The Trilateral Commission: A powerful, secretive organization that seeks to promote a new world order.* The United Nations: A global organization that seeks to promote a new world order, with a focus on international law and the erosion of national sovereignty.* Non-Government Organizations (NGOs): A network of organizations that seek to promote a new world order, with a focus on sustainable development and the Green Economy.It is clear that neither the American People nor the Congress of the United States of America are party to this transformation. Instead, it is being driven by a small group of powerful, secretive organizations that seek to promote their own interests and agendas.As we examine the tools and tactics being used to promote this transformation, we see a number of key initiatives:* Agenda 21: A United Nations program that seeks to promote sustainable development and the Green Economy.* Sustainable development: A concept that seeks to balance economic growth with environmental protection and social justice.* Smart meters: A technology that seeks to control and manipulate energy usage, with a focus on reducing individual freedom.* Climate change: A concept that seeks to promote a new, global agenda, with a focus on reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable energy.* Cap and trade: A system that seeks to control and manipulate carbon emissions, with a focus on promoting sustainable energy.* The Green Economy: A concept that seeks to promote sustainable development and the reduction of individual freedom.* Human enhancement (Trans-Humanism): A movement that seeks to merge man and machine, with a focus on promoting a new, technocratic society.The Dark Heart of TechnocracyScientism is the foundation upon which Technocracy is built. This ideology seeks to regulate every aspect of human life, from the mundane to the profound, under the guise of scientific authority.The Seven Pillars of Scientism* The Application of Scientific Methods to Social and Political Modeling: Scientism seeks to apply the scientific method to the study of human behavior and society, reducing complex social issues to simplistic, quantifiable problems.* Science as the Absolute Truth: Scientism posits that science is the only reliable source of truth, dismissing other forms of knowledge and understanding as inferior.* Atheism: Scientism upholds atheism, rejecting the existence of a higher power or divine authority.* Predictive Power: Scientism claims to be able to predict the future, using scientific models and data to forecast human behavior and societal trends.* Rejection of Opposing Inquiry: Scientism rejects any opposing viewpoints or criticisms, dismissing them as unscientific or uninformed.* Demand for Acceptance: Scientism demands acceptance by non-scientists, expecting the general public to blindly accept scientific authority without question.“Scientism is belief in the universal applicability of the scientific method and approach, and the view that empirical science constitutes the most authoritative worldview or most valuable part of human learning to the exclusion of other viewpoints."—WikipediaAs we explore the implications of Scientism, we see a disturbing trend towards the erosion of individual freedom and the centralization of power. From the regulation of shower times to the elimination of private property, Scientism seeks to control every aspect of human life under the guise of scientific authority.A Lily Bit is a reader-supported publication.

His book, "The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology", published in 2005, explores the idea of a future where humans and machines become indistinguishable.Kurzweil's work at Google is closely tied to the company's chairman, Eric Emerson Schmidt, who is a member of the Trilateral Commission. Schmidt's involvement with the Trilateral Commission is well-documented. He has been a member of the organization since 2001, and has played a key role in shaping its agenda.As a member of the Trilateral Commission, Schmidt has been involved in promoting the interests of the organization, which include the advancement of technocracy and the erosion of national sovereignty. Google's ties to the Trilateral Commission are extensive, and Schmidt's membership in the organization has given the company a significant amount of influence and access to the global elite. This has allowed Google to shape the agenda of the Trilateral Commission, which includes the promotion of technocracy and the advancement of “artificial intelligence.”Schmidt's views on government surveillance and data collection are also noteworthy. In 2013, he stated that government surveillance in the United States was the “nature of our society” and that he was not going to “pass judgment on that”. However, when it was revealed that the NSA had been secretly spying on Google's data centers worldwide, he called the practice “outrageous” and criticized the NSA's collection of Americans' phone records.Schmidt's relationship with the Obama administration is also worth noting. He was a campaign advisor and major donor to Barack Obama, and served on Google's government relations team. Obama considered him for Commerce Secretary, and Schmidt was mentioned as a possible candidate for the Chief Technology Officer position, which Obama created in his administration.The Definition of TechnocracyTechnocracy was termed in 1932 at Columbia University by M. King Hubbert and Howard Scott. After being booted from Columbia in 1934, they continued to develop their ideas through the Technocracy Study Course.Characteristics of Technocracy* Produces volumes of inviolable regulations: Technocracy is based on “science” and produces a large number of regulations that are considered absolute.* Creates totalitarian control: Technocracy seeks to create a totalitarian system of control, but it is not socialism or communism.* Seeks to replace price-based economic system with energy-based system: Technocracy aims to replace the traditional price-based economic system with an energy-based system, where energy credits are used instead of money.Communism, Marxism, Socialism, and Fascism are all based on a price-based economic system. Technocracy shifts away from that, so it is neither.Requirements for Technocracy* Register energy conversion and consumption* Create a balanced load* Provide a continuous inventory of production and consumption* Provide specific registration of goods and services* Provide specific registration of individual consumptionThe Technology to Implement TechnocracyToday, we have the technology to implement these requirements, including:* Obamacare* NSA spying on all Americans* Common Core* Data collection and miningThe Transformation of AmericaThe insidious tentacles of the Trilateral Commission have been quietly strangling the life out of our democratic institutions for decades. The brainchild of David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski, this cabal of 289 handpicked members, comprising the crème de la crème of bankers, industrialists, academics, politicians, media moguls, law firms, and NGOs, has been pulling the strings of power from behind the scenes since its inception in 1973.Their grand design, masquerading as a benevolent force for global cooperation, is nothing short of a thinly veiled attempt to consolidate economic power and impose a New International Economic Order. The Trilateral Commission's mantra of “interdependence” and “free trade” is merely a euphemism for the dismantling of tariffs and trade barriers, paving the way for the unfettered exploitation of resources and labor by the global elite. It was an economic takeover, but they needed the political machinery to pull it off. Technocracy is not a political system — it is an economic system.The Commission's influence on U.S. politics illustrates their Machiavellian tactics. In 1976, they hijacked the White House, with Brzezinski handpicking Jimmy Carter for the presidency and subsequently appointing nearly a third of the American Trilateral membership to key Cabinet and Administration posts. This brazen power grab was a masterclass in the art of manipulation, with the American people blissfully unaware of the economic coup unfolding before their very eyes.The Trilateral Commission's fingerprints are all over the subsequent decades of U.S. policy, from the Earth Summit's Agenda 21 to Clinton's “National Partnership For Reinventing Government” and the creation of the President's Council on Sustainable Development. The appointment of John Negroponte, a Trilateralist, as the first Director of the National Intelligence Agency in 2005, serves as a stark reminder of the Commission's enduring influence.But the roots of this technocratic behemoth run even deeper. Brzezinski's 1970 book, "Between Two Ages: America's Role In The Technetronic Era," is the ideological blueprint for the Trilateral movement, a clarion call for the imposition of a technocratic order on a global scale. As we delve deeper into the labyrinthine world of the Trilateral Commission, it becomes increasingly clear that their ultimate goal is nothing short of a complete overhaul of our economic and political systems, with the global elite firmly ensconced at the helm.“The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values…Today we are again witnessing the emergence of transnational elites…[whose] ties cut across national boundaries… It is likely that before long the social elites of most of the more advanced countries will be highly internationalist or globalist in spirit and outlook. Within a few years the rebels in the more advanced countries who today have the most visibility will be joined by a new generation making its claim to power in government and business… accepting as routine managerial processes current innovations such as planning-programming-budgeting systems (PPBS) … A national information grid that will integrate existing electronic data banks is already being developed…. The projected world information grid, for which Japan, Western Europe, and the United States are most suited, could create the basis for a common educational program, for the adoption of common academic standards.The nation-state is gradually yielding its sovereignty. … In the economic-technological field, some international cooperation has already been achieved, but further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position.”—Brzezinski, “Between Two Ages: America's Role In The Technetronic Era”Brzezinski's 1970 magnum opus, “Between Two Ages: America's Role In The Technetronic Era” was no mere academic exercise, but a blueprint for the incremental implementation of a controlled society, where the boundaries between politics, economics, and technology are deliberately blurred.It's no coincidence that Brzezinski, a professor at Columbia University, the very institution where Technocracy was born in 1932, was handpicked by David Rockefeller to co-found the Trilateral Commission in 1973. Rockefeller, ever the astute observer of questionable talent, recognized in Brzezinski a kindred spirit, a fellow traveler in the quest for a technocratic utopia.The term “technetronic,” coined by Brzezinski, is more than just a clever neologism; it's a call for the fusion of technology and politics, a harbinger of the all-encompassing control grid that the technocratic elite have been constructing for decades. “Technetronic” and “technocracy” are virtually interchangeable, two sides of the same coin.Brzezinski's vision, as outlined in his book, is one of gradual, incremental control over a “Technetronic Era” in which the boundaries between individual freedom and collective servitude are systematically eroded. It's a prospect that should send shivers down the spine of anyone who values liberty and autonomy.And now, let us take a moment to hear from the horse's mouth, as it were. Brzezinski himself will explain, in his own words, the contours of his technocratic vision. Prepare to be enlightened, or perhaps, more accurately, prepare to be chilled to the bone.The “war on terror,” that nebulous and ever-shifting construct, has been a boon for those who seek to regulate and control the patterns of traditional American behavior. It's a Trojan horse for the imposition of a surveillance state, where the boundaries between public and private are deliberately blurred. The “internationalist” elite, with their technocratic vision of a totally surveilled societal structure, have been the primary beneficiaries of this perpetual war.But the tentacles of the Trilateral Commission reach far deeper into the inner workings of our government than most of us could have ever imagined. The fact that six out of the eight heads of the World Bank have been Trilateralists is a staggering statistic. And it's not just the World Bank; the Trilateral Commission's influence permeates every level of our government, from the President and Vice President to the U.S. Trade Representatives and National Security Advisers.The sheer scope of the Trilateral Commission's infiltration is breathtaking. Every President and Vice President since Carter has had ties to the Commission, as have a disproportionate number of U.S. Trade Representatives and National Security Advisers. It's a veritable Who's Who of Trilateralists, a rogues gallery of technocrats who have insinuated themselves into the highest echelons of power.And what's the common thread that binds these individuals together? Their allegiance to the military-industrial complex, that behemoth of war and destruction. The Trilateral Commission's ties to the machinery of war are well-documented, and it's no coincidence that their influence has coincided with the perpetual war footing that has become the hallmark of our foreign policy. The war on terror, it seems, is just a convenient pretext for the imposition of a technocratic order, one that serves the interests of the elite at the expense of the American people.A Blueprint for Technocratic TyrannyThe New International Economic Order is nothing short of a dystopian nightmare, where the Elite rule with an iron fist. This “Technetronic Era” is characterized by:* A controlled society where the primary actors and planners of economic life are global banks and multi-national corporations.* A continuous surveillance of every citizen, with files containing all information about every citizen instantly available to authorities.But that's not all. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has been pushing a “Green Economy Initiative” that is, in reality, a Trojan horse for Technocracy. The UNEP's own words are chilling: “These initiatives, both public and private, provide the mechanism for reconfiguration of businesses, infrastructure and institutions, and for the adoption of sustainable consumption and production processes.”In other words, the Green Economy is a euphemism for a complete overhaul of our society, our way of life, and our institutions. It's a recipe for disaster, and one that has been championed by none other than Bill Clinton, who promised to “reinvent government.” We now know what he meant by that.But the Green Economy is not just a secular phenomenon. The World Council of Churches has proudly declared that the “World's faiths will declare themselves, irrevocably, as Green Faiths.” The very fabric of many people's spiritual lives is being co-opted by the technocratic elite.And if that's not enough, let me introduce you to the concept of “Reflexive Law” as a “Legal Paradigm For Sustainable Development”. This is the final nail in the coffin of our freedoms, a legal framework that will enshrine the principles of Technocracy and ensure that the Elite remain in control.The doublespeak of the technocratic elite is on full display in this document. On the surface, it appears to be a call for new approaches to achieving sustainable development, but scratch beneath the surface and you'll find a sinister plot to undermine our existing systems of governance and replace them with a new paradigm of “reflexive law”.The language is deliberately obtuse, but the intent is clear: to create a new framework for decision-making that is “integrated” and “normative”, where social systems and subsystems are forced to interact and communicate in a way that is predetermined by the technocratic elite. The goal is to create a seamless web of control, where every aspect of society is aligned with the objectives of sustainable development, as defined by the Elite.The reference to “Type 2” non-regulatory private or public-private partnership initiatives is particularly telling. This is code for the outsourcing of governance to unelected, unaccountable entities that are beholden only to the interests of the Elite. The “shifting emphasis” away from traditional regulation and government programs is a euphemism for the dismantling of our democratic institutions and the transfer of power to the technocratic elite.And what of “reflexive law” itself? This sociological construct is presented as a solution to the “conceptual dilemmas” of sustainable development, but it's really just a fancy name for a system of control that is designed to “specify procedures” for regulated entities to follow. In other words, it's a recipe for a totalitarian regime, where every aspect of society is micromanaged by the technocratic elite.The use of words like “normative” and “integrated” is particularly insidious, as it implies a sense of moral authority and inevitability. But make no mistake, this is a power grab, plain and simple. The technocratic elite are using the rhetoric of sustainable development to justify a radical transformation of our society, one that will leave us all subject to their whims and fancies.The emergence of a new worldwide web of energy, a global energy network, is a reminds us of the technocratic agenda's far-reaching implications. This network, like the internet, will revolutionize the way we live, work, and interact with one another. But, as we've seen, it's not just about energy distribution; it's about control, manipulation, and the transformation of humanity itself.The dispersal of trillions of “stimulus dollars” globally, parades the vast resources at the disposal of the globalists. The “Black Budget” is just one of the many tools in their arsenal, designed to further their agenda of control and domination.As we navigate our dark ages of deceit and manipulation, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But we must remain vigilant and committed to our mission of preserving freedom. I urge everyone to take action, to educate themselves and others, and to advocate for freedom at the local level. Acting locally while thinking globally is the key to preserving our liberties.Let us take a stand against the forces of tyranny and oppression. Let us support and educate our local Sheriffs, who are the last line of defense against federal overreach. Let us name and shame those who practice un-American thinking and activity. And let us serve Misprision of Treason wherever appropriate.Together, we can make a difference. Together, we can preserve freedom and protect our way of life.I wrote all of this was for free!

With its recent 'Finternet' paper, the Bank for International Settlements has planted its flag firmly in shared ledgers as the future rails of financial infrastructure. The idea of a single platform – a network of ledgers – providing the means for the seamless and instant settlement of many financial and non-financial assets versus tokenised cash is certainly attractive in its promise. Delivering such a complex ecosystem entails a great deal of complexity, both technically and from the perspective of governance. However, incremental steps in that direction are already delivering business value. To explain how tokenised settlement platforms are improving financial markets, Lewis McLellan, editor of OMFIF's Digital Monetary Institute, is joined by Basak Toprak, EMEA head of coin systems at Onyx by JP Morgan, and Atul Bhuchar, head of product at Partior.

The pieces were put in place back in 2014 through the G20's Bank Bail-In Law when it was decided that the money in your bank account is fair game for the taking when things go bad. Now that the Bank of International Settlements has unveiled its Universal Ledger, it will lay the foundation for the BIS to have absolute control of the rules and regulations, at least according to its Director General. As the push for CBDCs intensifies, it becomes imperative to understand the mechanics of how they work, what they do, what they prevent you from doing, and how they might roll them out to the public. As Mark Carney lays out his vision for the three pillars of a multi-polar world which combine CBDCs, ESG, and a Digital ID, the general public should be aware of where things are heading, and figure out how to stop it before it is too late.

Tom welcomes back Alasdair Macleod to the show. Alasdair notes that gold prices rose significantly last week, but the miners did not hedge their positions. He belives this is because mining boards have come to realize that it is the weakening US dollar, not gold, that is the cause of the price increase. As a result, they have decided to hold off on hedging their positions. However, energy costs are still a concern as they can rise unpredictably. The commitment of traders report shows that many derivative markets are held by bullion banks in short positions. The open interest on COMEX is currently high, and Alasdair believes it could increase further. He sees COMEX as a key indicator for the gold market and believes that the bullion banks are facing a challenging situation with significant short positions. The reverse repos facility provided by the Federal Reserve has seen a decline in usage as money market funds have shifted to investing in Treasury bills, which offer better interest rates. Despite the rising government debt, funding frustrations have been avoided as money market funds find alternatives. However, this could put pressure on the bullion banking community if liquidity dries up and makes it difficult to fund government debt. There is speculation that a significant amount of gold, half of the world's total reserves, may no longer exist due to leasing and potential disappearance from the New York Fed. The Fed's announcement of a dovish pivot has caused the US dollar index to drop, leading to a decline in the yen carry trade. Investors are seeking alternative investments like gold. The Middle East conflict, particularly due to Houthi-Iranian aggression, could introduce further instability to the credit market. The Federal Reserve's priorities are shifting to focus on job creation for the upcoming presidential election. This shift has resulted in a fall in profits for the carry trade and a decline in the US dollar's trade weighted index. Central banks, including the Federal Reserve, have become more focused on funding governments rather than protecting the public from inflation and devaluation. The banking system, particularly in Europe, is highly leveraged and vulnerable to rising interest rates. The return of free banking is advocated by many, where banks are responsible for their own problems. The LBMA is experiencing a decrease in market share due to the popularity of places like Dubai, where gold is sold based solely on weight at the gold souk. The LBMA's efforts to gain preferential treatment from the Bank of International Settlements have been unsuccessful. Gold's value has been denied and downplayed by the US government, as a rise in gold prices would not be geopolitically beneficial. The situation in Argentina, with its President Milei is worth watching. Escalating tensions in the Middle East and Ukraine are also impacting energy prices and geopolitical dynamics.

At Jackson Hole, the Kansas City Fed's annual gathering for economists and central bankers, there's a lot of focus on the short-term path of monetary policy. But, of course, the Economic Symposium is supposed to be about long-term policy frameworks. And central bankers aren't just responsible for changing benchmark interest rates — they are also financial regulators. On this episode, we speak with Hyun Song Shin, economic advisor and head of research at the Bank for International Settlements, about where he sees risks lurking in the financial system now. We discuss the shift from bank lending to bond-based borrowing, and what it means for inflation now. We talk about how even safe assets like US Treasuries can become sources of stress, such as in March 2020, the gilt crisis of last year, and most recently, the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. We also talk about how higher interest rates are supposed to bring down inflation, but might not be doing that much currently, as well as the limits of central banking.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marty Bent is a Venture Partner at Ten31, founder of the Bitcoin-focused media company TFTC.io, and Director of Cathedra Bitcoin. In this interview, we discuss the potential implementation of a global financial system based on CBDCs and the role of the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). We also talk about the potential role of Bitcoin in fighting against state actors. - - - - CBDCs are the unwanted concomitants of Satoshi's innovation: the state's answer to the settlement improvements offered by Bitcoin, without any of the fundamental design features predicated on protecting individuals in the digital age. They represent everything Satoshi was working against: the chance for the state to fully capture and control people's use of money with all of the inherent dangers to democracy and individual liberty that this brings. Technological developments akin to CBDCs were always going to manifest, but, it is obviously not a coincidence that work on them accelerated in the shadow of Bitcoin. For over a century, governments, central banks and other centralising institutions have had an unfettered ability to control and manipulate money; money printing and inflation rigged the system in favour of the dealer. Bitcoin offers a chance for a new and fairer system. Whilst it is easier for those with knowledge to identify the extreme contrast between the two forms of money, it is also clear how and why people believe CBDCs are a good idea. The state has an asymmetric power in pushing narratives; promoting the benefits of having the utility of instant digital transactions that safeguards against paedophiles, terrorists and money launders, will certainly seem like an incontestable advancement. It's just that we know this isn't the purpose. The ring leader in this global effort to retain central authority over money is being led by the Bank of International Settlements. The BIS is behind a number of pilot projects that sound like they were devised by a megalomaniac James Bond villain (Project Rosalind, Project Polaris). Playing the role of Blofeld is Agustín Carstens. In 2022 Mr Carstens stated “the soul of money belongs neither to a big tech nor to an anonymous ledger. The soul of money is trust… central banks have been and continue to be the institutions best placed to provide trust in the digital age.” Carstens believes that technology can't make trusted money. He is expecting us to ignore the evidence of history where institutions have repeatedly abused the trust bestowed on them. And he is asking us to ignore Bitcoin.   This episode's sponsors: Iris Energy - Bitcoin Mining.
