A global social credit score system, described as the "mark of the beast," is being developed with AI surveillance through smart devices. China already has a version in place, restricting movement and access based on social standing. The UN, WF, and Bill Gates are allegedly standardizing this with China for a global rollout of central bank digital currencies, potentially replacing the dollar. Trump opposes central bank digital currencies and supports decentralized currencies like Bitcoin. The IMF, World Bank, and WHO are said to be pushing for a global central bank digital currency for control during future pandemics. This system would act as an Internet ID, exacerbating debanking and harassment. International banks view this as their "holy grail." A digital central bank digital currency dollar is being pushed through the GENIUS Act, but exposure efforts are underway. Previously, AI liability protection within the act was defeated. The speaker believes that with enough exposure, the central bank digital currency provision can also be removed, posing a threat to the dollar.

The speaker discusses the current state of the Federal Reserve note and the need to transition to treasury dollars. They mention that paper currency always crashes and that the United States needs to exchange its currency quickly to avoid economic dislocation. They highlight that the Federal Reserve note is no longer an international reserve currency, with many countries using other currencies in their trade. The speaker also mentions their background in studying the G77 and the hijacking of the World Bank by a group called the network of global corporate control. They explain how this group buys off politicians and charges interest on country debt. The speaker concludes by emphasizing the importance of understanding the transition from one currency to another.

Over the past few days, the conversation covered rising U.S. gas prices, with average prices surpassing $4 per gallon on Tuesday, the highest in nearly four years. The discussion then shifted to geopolitical tensions around Iran, Israel, and the United States. It was noted that Donald Trump is reportedly seeking an off ramp from the war against Iran, but every time there are negotiations toward ceasefires or frameworks for talks, Israel allegedly bombs to scuttle those plans. Joe Kent was cited as saying that there is significant frustration inside the Trump administration because Israeli actions derail negotiations. Further comments stated that whenever Trump attempts to move toward negotiation, Israelis “come in and they kill negotiators,” “kill members of the government,” and “bomb the infrastructure” to show that the U.S. is not negotiating in good faith, with the implication that U.S. verbal assurances are hollow while Israel acts unrestrained. It was suggested that only when the U.S. actually restrains Israel’s support will their behavior change, despite reports of high-level admonitions from the Vice President or others. Trump published a note on Truth Social addressed to Europe and the UK, criticizing their inability to obtain jet fuel due to the Strait of Hormuz and urging the United Kingdom to buy oil from the United States, build up courage, and take control of Hormuz, implying the U.S. would no longer assist them. The program then brought in economist Professor Richard Werner to analyze global economic directions amid oil and gas price concerns, food stocks, fertilizer, helium, and related supply chains. Werner, based in Europe, emphasized Europe’s dependence on energy, fertilizer, and other raw materials from abroad, noting that Europe has thrived on an international trade model that moved up value-added production. He described the current situation as a policy-induced crisis or potential catastrophe, with energy supply already restricted by past policy choices (e.g., cutting ties with Russia for energy, decommissioning nuclear and coal plants). He warned of a possible major shock to the economy, comparing the risk to the 2020 experience of policy-induced throttling. The discussion touched on financial vulnerability, including concerns about how embargos or disruptions could affect food supply chains and economic stability. Werner described the situation as intentional policy shifts and indicated a broader realignment of the global order, with institutions like BRICS, the Belt and Road Initiative, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, and the New Development Bank fostering greater influence for China and other non-U.S. actors. He asserted that there is a push for a new international order that gives more power to alternative players, criticizing U.S. dominance in the IMF and World Bank. Werner argued that the “petrodollar system” established after the 1970s allowed continued U.S. economic supremacy, and suggested the world is witnessing a shift away from the dollar’s dominance toward alternative systems, potentially including digital currencies. He claimed Western countries are moving toward digital control measures, including strict currency surveillance and restrictions, while BRICS countries show more interest in gold as a store of value. He also described increasing censorship and sanctions in the EU regarding dissenting opinions, tying this to the rollout of digital currencies and the potential for controllable spending if governments “switch off” money. The exchange concluded with gratitude for Werner’s analysis and a hope for cooler heads to prevail to minimize impact, while acknowledging the likelihood of a new world order.

Америка прямо сейчас пытается поменять правила на рынке золота и криптовалют. Вспомните, какой у них долг 35 триллионов долларов. Действия Вашингтона в этом направлении отчетливо демонстрируют одну из главных американских задач. Они очень хотят решить проблему снижения доверия к доллару. США, как это было и в 30-е и в 70-е годы, будут решать свои финансовые проблемы за счет всего мира, загоняя всех куда? В криптовалютное облако. Со временем, когда часть госдолга США будет размещена в стейблкоинах, США обесценит этот долг. У них сейчас валютный 35 триллионный долг. Они его загоняют в крипту в облако, обесценивают и начинают с нуля. Это для тех, кто очень любит заниматься криптой. America is currently trying to change the rules in the gold and cryptocurrency markets. Recall their debt of 35 trillion dollars. Washington's actions in this direction clearly show one of the main American objectives. They very much want to solve the problem of declining trust in the dollar. The United States, as in the 1930s and 1970s, will solve its financial problems at the expense of the entire world, driving everyone into the crypto cloud. Over time, when part of U.S. national debt is placed in stablecoins, the U.S. will devalue that debt. They currently have a 35 trillion dollar debt. They are pushing it into crypto in the cloud, devaluing it and starting from scratch. This is for those who really love crypto.

Together because they are completely interlinked. Epstein is linked with Howard Lutnick, our commerce secretary whose firm manages the treasuries that back tether, the largest stable coin. And Brock Pierce, who was Epstein's crypto adviser, who was a cofounder of Tether and was the head of the Bitcoin Foundation before it collapsed, and then MIT took over the developers is right in the middle of this. So in essence, the endgame of this is what they have figured out as a way to have a backdoor CBDC where they specifically profit. I'm starting to call this now the creature from Epstein's Island because in the end, what are we getting out of this? We have something called USAT, which is the new official stable coin that complies with the genius act. So we have a situation where it's a digital token backed by fiat, backed by treasuries that can be programmed, tracked, and censored. And the biggest financial beneficiary is Howard Lutnick's firm. They managed to create so think about it this way. He's managed to create a central bank digital currency where only one firm profits from all of the fees for managing the treasuries. This is the biggest financial heist probably in human history. And it is connected directly to Epstein and Brock Pierce and the hijacking of Bitcoin. That's how they're linked. Now, do I think were they playing five d chess and this is what they thought was gonna happen? I don't know. May be if so, it's very clever or were they opportunistic about it? But make no mistake about it. These government regulated stablecoins are backdoor CBDCs in not in the sense that they're issued by the central bank, but in the sense that they are controlled and surveilled by the government and tracked by the government, which after all is the thing that people are worried about with CBDCs. The concern isn't really so much about the central bank. Of course, the central bank is complete unnecessary third party, but financial surveillance comes from Congress. All of the bank secrecy laws, all of the tracking and the suspicious activity reports, this is Congress. This is not the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve does not initiate any of that. So this is in many respects worse than the creature from Jackal Island. This is worse than the creation of the Federal Reserve itself because what it's done is created a digital dollar where one political member of a cabinet, his family and his company is the biggest single beneficiary. One of the things that came out of the Epstein file is Lutnick's claim that he was disgusted by Epstein and had nothing to do with him after 2006. The emails show Lutnick emailing Epstein coordinating to visit Epstein on Epstein's Island with his yacht and with his family. There's another email showing Lutnick contributing $50,000 to an event that Epstein was running. Lutnick flat out lied, and I will have to check whether that was under oath about his relationship and association with Epstein. He was a next door neighbor of Epstein and bought his house from Epstein. The connections here are overwhelming. It's so much data to map that I'm using AI to start making initial connections, then humans correct. How do these pieces fit from a timetable perspective? This is game changing. Epstein's hijacking of Bitcoin has not been widely acknowledged, and some Bitcoin Maxis resist this information. I urge people to do their own research, not to rely on spin. Look into Epstein's emails via Jmail and other sources. The information is out there, including the Epstein files, and the article I wrote for Brownstone at brownstone.org with screenshots of emails. Do your research. Don't accept a single influencer's take. Epstein literally funded changing the Bitcoin protocol to make it digital gold, yet there is no indication he actually held Bitcoin. This warrants investigation. Roger Ver, once a prominent Bitcoin advocate, has described hijacking in his own book, and his later treatment suggests suppression. The broader point is that there are deeply interwoven connections among Epstein, Lutnick, Pierce, Tether, and the Bitcoin ecosystem, with implications for who profits and how governance and surveillance could unfold.

The US national debt has surpassed $33 trillion, with about a third of that added in the last five years. The speaker questions who the nation owes this debt to and highlights the power of bankers, particularly in the Federal Reserve System, who create trillions of dollars without producing anything of value. They quote Thomas Jefferson's warning about the dangers of private banks controlling the money supply. The speaker also points out that money, whether it's a $1 bill or a $20 bill, is just paper with no inherent value. Another speaker mentions the potential value of Bitcoin as the US dollar loses value, suggesting that micro Bitcoins or satoshis could become a common form of untraceable transactions.

Peter Schiff and the hosts discuss how surging gold and silver prices relate to potential banking instability and a broader dollar crisis. Key points: - Silver production is about 800,000,000 ounces per year, while bank shorts on silver are claimed at 4,400,000,000 ounces according to some reports. The implication is that if silver continues to rise, the biggest banks in America could face severe coverage challenges for their short positions. The discussion notes that many banks are “barely covering their asses to stay afloat.” - Gold and silver price levels are highlighted: gold at about $4,600 per ounce after a bounce, and silver at about $92 per ounce. Peter Schiff, introduced as a silver and gold expert and economist, has authored The Real Crash, How to Save Yourself and Your Country, and America’s Coming Bankruptcy. The host mentions the book. - Peter Schiff’s perspective on timing and crisis: he says the 2013 book predicted the current situation and that gold and silver have risen significantly—gold up, silver up substantially. He believes the price moves signal a major warning of a financial or economic crisis, comparing it to the subprime warning before the 2008 crisis. He asserts this time the warning concerns the U.S. government sovereign credit and a potential dollar crisis and U.S. Treasury crisis, possibly unfolding next year. - Connection to global debt and the dollar: Schiff explains that much debt is sustainable because the U.S. dollar serves as the global reserve currency, enabling continued spending. He notes foreign central banks buying gold instead of U.S. Treasuries, moving out of dollars into gold, and cites U.S. intervention in oil-rich Venezuela as part of broader moves to keep oil prices down. He argues that the dollar’s reserve status is eroding, and a meaningful decline in the dollar relative to other currencies could soon impact consumer prices and interest rates, leading to higher costs for Americans. - Impact on the average person: Schiff asserts that the reserve currency status has long supported a standard of living that relies on importing goods paid for with dollars created “out of thin air.” As the dollar collapses and the world shifts away from the dollar, the dollars earned and saved by ordinary people will buy less, with price spikes across goods and services. He suggests a future scenario where prices rise dramatically while wages do not keep pace, giving an example of a hamburger potentially rising from $15 to $30 or $50, and services versus goods diverging in price movement. - Preparation and investment stance: Schiff emphasizes that gold and silver have performed well since the turn of the century, outperforming the Dow in real terms. He argues for moving wealth into real money rather than paper assets and notes, in general terms, opportunities in mining stocks as a hedge, including juniors and mid-tier producers. He references the broader strategy of diversifying out of U.S. stocks, bonds, and dollars to protect wealth during what he describes as a coming real crisis; he stresses focusing on real assets rather than relying on the dollar. - Final remarks: Schiff reiterates that the crisis is coming and that some Americans should consider protecting wealth through precious metals and mining opportunities, while the hosts acknowledge the outlook and thank him for the insights.

Speaker 0: Once you've got everything under one roof and you've got all your ID together in one place, it means you can be switched off at the touch of a button. So they brought this system in in Thailand, and suddenly, like simultaneously, over 3,000,000 people had their bank accounts shut down. Thailand has become a case study for the use of biometric data in every facet of life. Every banking transaction is monitored and scrutinized. Any perceived discrepancies flagged as fraud and punished without due process. Regulations have overwhelmed the system resulting in a full fledged banking crisis. Over 3,000,000 Thai bank accounts were frozen instantaneously without warning as a result of government overreach. Transaction denied, you'd contact your bank to see why the payment failed only to learn that your account has been frozen, all of your accounts for that matter. The bank is investigating you for suspicious activity and potential money laundering or fraud. There was no warning, call, or letter, and there is no clarification as to what transaction was flagged. You're completely locked out of your accounts. You have lost the ability to purchase. You cannot fill your gas tank. You cannot purchase groceries. You've been completely removed from the financial system, and you do not know when or if you will regain access to your funds. This is the reality for millions of people banking in Thailand. That's crazy stuff, folks, and this freaked the entire country out. But the article goes on to say, thousands of accounts are frozen each week. Panic has ensued. Retailers are no longer accepting cards demanding payment in cash as they too are worried that they will be removed from the banking system. Confidence in the government and the entire banking system evaporated. People rationally fear that their account will be targeted next without warning. Government overreach has backfired, and the people are removing themselves from the banking system entirely. And that's a really good thing to see, folks. Yeah. So it backfired, and it caused the people in Thailand to see how much they need to keep cash alive and depend on cash. And it's saying it serves as a test case for what this digital ID is gonna do. Well, it also serves as a test case for why you shouldn't accept it. And so many of us have been warning about this for so long, folks, and it's imperative that people see this because this is what's been going on. All everyone's been arguing over whether Charlie Kirk died or whether he didn't, it doesn't matter. What matters is what they're gonna do with it.

The speaker asserts that a primary reason for impending war is the desire to implement a worldwide digital currency and escape the failing current system. They claim the existing system is unsustainable due to perpetual deficits and a Ponzi scheme-like structure. Historically, such schemes collapse when new debt can no longer be sold to cover old debt. The speaker suggests that the departure of debt buyers necessitates finding new ones to prevent collapse. They caution against enthusiasm for cryptocurrency, viewing it as a ploy to attract new investors to buy debt. If new debt cannot be sold, the speaker believes the entire system will collapse.

The US stock market experienced a significant drop, which is seen as a controlled demolition paving the way for a new blockchain-based financial system. The EU is investing billions in digital identity wallets, AI, and cybersecurity, which is interpreted as investment in the Antichrist Beast System. The US House Committee passed the Stablecoin Regulating STABLE Act to regulate crypto tokens tied to currencies like the US dollar. There is speculation that stablecoins could be pegged to commodities like gold, linking to news about Trump and Musk wanting to audit gold reserves at Fort Knox and Trump pledging support for crypto after authorizing a digital Fort Knox. The US dollar is crashing while gold rises, potentially setting the stage for a new financial system using a gold-backed stablecoin on the blockchain. This gold could then be used in AI data centers, aligning with Trump's plans to build AI data centers on federal land. This ties into end-time prophecy, where AI merges with the Antichrist, enabling the mark of the beast for controlled transactions. Christians are encouraged to connect with the Lord, understand the Gospel, and prepare for Christ's return.

Sanctions & the End of a Financial Era with John Titus
Guests: John Titus
reSee.it Podcast Summary
Since the Ukraine-Russia conflict began, major shifts in the international financial system have unfolded, with sanctions aimed at Russia seemingly rebounding off the ruble while inflicting greater pain on the West. This has fed questions about why a policy that appears punitive to one side ends up hurting the sanctioning side and has fueled talk of the dollar’s waning dominance and the possible demise of the petrodollar system, alongside a wider move toward a multipolar world order. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are advancing in both Ukraine and Russia and among their allies, framing a global control architecture that many see as a critical element of a broader digital governance regime. Whitney Webb and John Titus discuss how, on March 2, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, asked about China, Russia, and Pakistan moving away from the dollar, pivoted to the world reserve currency and the durability of the dollar, inflation, and the rule of law—points Titus argues reveal a scripted witness with a broader agenda about the dollar’s reserve status and the sustainability of US fiscal paths. Titus notes a shift in public officials, including Cabinet-level figures, acknowledging debt unsustainability, which he interprets as a signal that the days of US currency dominance may be numbered, given that the US debt path is already out of control. They examine what losing reserve currency status would mean at home: a large fraction of currency in circulation is overseas, and if dollars flow back to the US, inflation could surge. The conversation turns to the petrodollar system’s fragility as Saudi Arabia and the UAE push back on sanctions enforcement, with implications for the dollar’s hegemony. Russia’s strategy to accept payment for energy in rubles or via Gazprom Bank, and to require non-sanctioned banks, is presented as an actionable workaround that forces a reevaluation of Western sanctions’ effectiveness and Europe’s consequences, including higher energy prices and potential shortages. The Bear Stearns bailout and broader 2008 crisis are revisited, highlighting the distinction between official Treasury/TARP bailout narratives and what Titus calls the Fed’s real bailout and political cover. He argues the endgame is when the US borrows to pay interest on debt, including entitlements, creating an unsustainable trajectory that drives a multipolar challenge to US control. CBDCs are analyzed through questions of backing, issuer sovereignty, and settlement mechanisms. Titus argues the US CBDC would be issued by the private-leaning regional Federal Reserve banks, complicating governance and accountability, while Russia contemplates a digital ruble with programmable features and a two-tier system where the central bank maintains the ledger but commercial banks handle access. The broader framework includes debates about the World Economic Forum, the Bank for International Settlements, and the balance of power between public sovereigns and private financial interests, with the BIS and private banks often seen as critical sovereign-like actors. The discussion ends with a warning about the evolving digital-finance landscape, the risks of central bank digital currencies, and the importance of understanding who ultimately holds sovereign power in money issuance.

The PayPal Presidency Part III: New World Currency with Mark Goodwin
Guests: Mark Goodwin
reSee.it Podcast Summary
In this episode of Unlimited Hangout, Whitney Webb and guest Mark Goodwin discuss the influence of the PayPal Mafia on U.S. finance and currency, particularly in light of the recent GENIUS Act, which regulates stablecoins. The PayPal Mafia, including figures like David Sacks, has gained significant power over U.S. fiscal policy, with ambitions rooted in creating a "new world currency." Sacks has claimed that cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, align with PayPal's original goals but in a decentralized manner, a claim Goodwin argues is misleading as it still leads to centralization and Orwellian control over finances. Goodwin elaborates on the history of stablecoins, particularly Tether, and how the PayPal Mafia's connections to Tether's foundation reveal a deeper agenda. The GENIUS Act aims to establish regulations for stablecoins, mandating that they be backed by U.S. Treasuries, thus reinforcing the dollar's dominance. Goodwin highlights the instability of stablecoins, citing the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the FTX scandal, which exposed vulnerabilities in the system and led to calls for stricter regulations. The discussion also touches on the implications of stablecoins as tools for surveillance and control, drawing parallels to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Goodwin warns that while stablecoins may appear beneficial, they could ultimately serve as instruments of state control, with the potential for user data to be surveilled and funds seized without recourse. As the conversation concludes, Goodwin emphasizes the importance of being informed about these developments and encourages listeners to consider their personal boundaries regarding financial technologies. He advocates for building community trust and alternative systems to navigate the emerging financial landscape shaped by the PayPal Mafia and the U.S. government.
