Saving America Starts with Rejecting Digital Currency
Scott S. Powell

America in the twenty-first century has been on an accelerating descent not unlike what befell ancient Rome. For some four centuries Rome’s Senate and constitution provided continuity which sustained the Roman Republic through various challenges. But in the end, what befell Rome from barbarian invasion, political corruption, and mobs that were manipulated and used by its Caesars, was a rampage against reason and freedom, leading to the Republic’s demise and transition to a centralized imperial authority under emperors.

America’s style and state of political decline and cultural degeneration differ in many ways from that of ancient Rome, but the big picture has striking similarities.

The downward spiral of America is punctuated by: 1) massive corruption of elites inside and outside government who go along with manipulating the masses through creating and sustaining narratives that benefit them while keeping citizens largely ignorant about what is really going down,  including threats to their health and their very survival; 2) the loss of confidence in the integrity of U.S. elections, which demoralizes the public and undermines the legitimacy of government; 3) the erosion of privacy, property rights, and freedom; 4) the Biden administration’s  deliberate open-border policy to facilitate the influx of millions of migrants for political purposes;  5) the politization of the judiciary and the attendant two-tiered justice system that  has undermined the rule of law and order; and 6) the atomization of American society and the deterioration of family and community resulting from elite narratives that divide people — primarily around race and gender; and 7) uncontrollable government profligacy and accompanying kickback corruption — the continuing trajectory of which is certain to bring insolvency and collapse of the U.S. monetary system, sooner than later.

In the last thirty years, the United Nations, and the New World Order (NWO) organizations, such as the World Economic Forum (WEF) have promoted and legitimized “replacement migration” policies. Adopted by the EU and its member countries — replacement migration primarily drew immigrants from the Islamic Middle East and North Africa. As a result, the population of Muslims in Europe has tripled, while Christianity’s influence has been receding. Although migration of Muslims to Europe has slowed in recent years, their relative numbers continue to grow fast due to birth rates that are 54% higher than that of host country families.  Islam is clearly on a path to becoming ascendant over Christianity in Europe in the near future. And the Muslim migrants’ open aspiration to impose their religion and its Sharia law on their host countries is already creating havoc in dozens of European cities and will undoubtedly contribute to the destabilization and collapse of national sovereignty.

In the U.S., replacement migration operates with the same purpose of transforming and destabilizing the national sovereignty of America. A small portion of the eight-million diverse migrants who have entered the United States during the first three years of the Biden administration are potentially hostile foreign agents. They may well become sleeper cells whose mission, once activated, is to  strike infrastructure targets within United States upon directives from their sponsors, be that that China, Iran, or other adversaries. Even if the number of those hostile foreign agents is as small as 1% of that eight-million migrant number, that would mean some 80,000 terrorists could simultaneously conduct military operations within the United States, coinciding with hostile action from their sponsor countries against likely targets, such as Taiwan or Israel.

An important part of the globalist agenda to advance the New World Order is to weaken countries by exacerbating division within and then break down the old system of national sovereignties as a last step prior to more aggressive stages embracing global governance. Division within the United States has been fomented by Critical Race Theory (CRT) training and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies; the imposition of ESG mandates on most all public companies from influence and proxy voting from the largest shareholders, such as Blackrock and Vanguard; the destruction and rewriting of history; the rise of a new secular privileged class operating in academia, government agencies, and social media that determine what can be said in public discourse. And most recently, the transgender movement is being used as just one more interest group that brings division and weakens military readiness and the general fabric of society.

Another necessary component of the New World Order agenda is sustaining the secular and surrogate religion of “climate change” as the primary means to transform energy sourcing in the U.S. and Europe. Climate change belief — based more on dogma than science — stresses that moderating climate change requires reduction of CO2 emissions by substituting reliance on oil and gas hydrocarbons with sustainable energy, primarily wind and solar power, which is at the heart of the Green New Deal. The Green New Deal now goes beyond reducing CO2 emissions and includes reducing methane and nitrogen emissions. This doesn’t just mean higher energy costs that accompany intermittent and unreliable wind and solar power. It also means agricultural transformation, significant reduction in cattle farming, beef production and drastic reduction in use of nitrogen-based fertilizers — the latter of which leads to dramatic drops in crop yields, which cause starvation and depopulation.

The greatest threat to people’s freedom is their loss of privacy that is being accelerated through expanding applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI). In fact, the global elite acknowledge that privacy will no longer be a right in the future because it is incompatible with their plans for creating a total surveillance state utilizing social credit scoring tied to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). At present eight countries have developed and are implementing CBDCs:  China, India, Brazil, Nigeria, Jamaica, Singapore, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, and the Bahamas. The United States is now one of over one hundred other countries in the development stage of CBDCs.

It is one thing to have digital records for security and convenience. The IRS receives and tracks digital records of most all financial transactions that involve American citizens, and that information is shared with the Social Security, Medicare, and other government agencies. The digital age is already quite advanced.

What is unacceptable under the U.S. Constitution is the intrusion of government into citizens private lives. The total surveillance state and social credit scoring tied to CBDCs must be rejected by American citizens. It is the critical firewall needed to stop, unwind, and reverse America’s downward spiral and wrest America from the tentacles of the New World Order and globalist control.

 

Scott Powell has been an entrepreneur for 30+ years, founding two companies. He has been a fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution and is currently senior fellow at Discovery Institute. Having been a frequent guest on national radio and TV, he has also published 250 articles in such publications as the Wall Street Journal, Barron’s Financial, New York Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Washington Times, Chicago Tribune, Houston Chronicle, Dallas Morning News, San Francisco Chronicle, San Diego Union, Florida Sun Sentinel, USA Today and some two dozen other newspapers and journals in the U.S., Japan and Europe. He has been called on twice to provide expert witness testimony for the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.

 

Additionally and foundationally, his background has been shaped by the school of hard knocks. After working and saving, Scott took a leave of absence from undergraduate studies, sailing some 5,000 miles on a 17 ft. sloop-rig catboat and then back-packing through Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Over the course of several years he visited some 48 countries—chronicling and photographing life as he saw it, including poverty, oppression and dysfunction. After returning, working and saving he reentered school and graduated from the University of Chicago (B.A. and M.A.) and then received his Ph.D. from Boston University. This is his third book.
