Digital dollars will be “trackable.”

https://www.oftwominds.com/blogoct20/fed-tyranny10-20.html

The Federal Reserve has been busy during the manufactured chaos. Inching ever closer to the implementation phase is the Federal Reserve’s most recent invention, FedNow, a proposed program/system of instant payments and digital dollars.

“This paper from the Cleveland Fed describes the system: FedNow paper from clevelandfed.org (PDF) (via Cheryl A.)” – Charles Hugh Smith

“The rationale for the system is two-fold: The Fed sees the current ACH (automatic clearing house) payment system used by banks as too slow and limited. Payments need to be instantaneous and there must be a way to reach unbanked households, the roughly 9 million U.S. households without a bank account. In the current system, stimulus payments couldn’t reach these households quickly.

The solution is a new payment system in which every household and business in the nation would have an account at FedNow, so the Fed can transfer funds directly and instantaneously into every household account (and presumably every business that the Fed has chosen to fund).

The second part of FedNow is the creation of a digital dollar which is just like the existing dollar with one tiny little difference: unlike cash (for example, a $20 bill), the digital dollars won’t be anonymous. Each newly created digital dollar will be trackable.” – Id.

How’s that for casting a wide net? Avoid the current (too slow) ACH payment system, and simultaneously force everyone into a trackable, digital dollar system that eliminates anonymity.

Everyone and everything (denominated in trackable dollars) loses anonymity — for you and me and everything in the natural world in one fell swoop. Evil genius! Many thanks to Charles for bringing us all the “good news.”

“If it bleeds, it leads.” Media vampires: Merchants of Death

I’m posting this article about mistreatment and lies told by the media about grizzly bears and wildlife in general to make a connection. The connection is: We are part of nature. Grizzlies are a metaphor for all life on this planet. All life is threatened with extinction at the hands of evil men who can’t accept their proper role in the natural system; they believe they can improve Creator’s works with “science” and technology (machines). If you choose to read the linked article by Louisa Willcox, imagine yourself as a grizzly bear trying to survive in an ever-shrinking, insecure habitat with lots of crazy two-legged creatures with guns out to kill you — just for sport.

Love to have anyone join us to help defend grizzlies and their habitat from all the deranged wanton killers out to exterminate them. You and I are on their hit list too, in case you haven’t noticed.

Are Fasci Still a Symbol of Fascism?

Are these symbols of emancipation and freedom, or a new era of (voluntary) slavery?

Like the mysterious origins of the Egyptian pyramid scattered around in strategic locations, fasci, the symbol of people united under a single, authoritarian state and its man-made laws. Fasci can be found in places most Americans might find odd if they were aware of the meaning of these ancient symbols.

To be a “citizen” of such a state is not what it’s cracked up to be. Home of the free, and land of the brave, are little more than meaningless words in such a system, regardless of how many times they are repeated in song and literature. I hope to give a glimpse or two into the false world we live in, and possibly a way we all might learn of a way to abolish slavery once and for all.

Freddy and Co.(Queen)and The Queen

https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/music-legends/queen/

It’s been a while since POM visited the Freddy Mercury/Queen mystery.  There were some comments that wondered if the whole thing wasn’t some “project.”  I don’t know, but I do find it a bit unusual to find this in the 2020 offerings at The Royal Mint.  All those British bands, and this it the only one with its own minted (official) coin.  I’m sure there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation, yet it eludes me.  Might need help with this one.queen_1oz_gold_proof_coin_in_case_left

Blowing (debt) bubbles for oligarch carpetbaggers: Bigger and better than ever.

Where do you fit in?

Mark and others have demonstrated how the climate change narrative has been doctored and promoted by a multi-disciplinary team of liars that serve the collection of oligarchs presently anxious to begin their turn partying in the driver’s seat. But will the new, green economy do the trick? Will climate change create the hysteria needed to inflate the next global economic bubble and transition us into a new world order – much like the old-world order — that is less dependent on perpetual war and violence against the non-compliant? Can the ruling class reach consensus?

Privatization, deregulation and austerity (neoliberal principles) have served the uber-rich since the 1970s at the expense of everyone else. Countries rich in oil and other natural treasures have suffered most.  Wealth has accumulated at the top, stolen in the usual manner, at gunpoint, by the proxy armies of NATO and private mercenaries and international NGOs, funded by the U.S. defense budget and laundered money from gun-running, drugs, trafficking and gambling, all channeled through global banks like the BIS, IMF and World Bank.

“Regime change” + “make the economy scream” = neoliberalism = death

https://mronline.org/2018/03/08/the-world-market-north-south-relations-and-neoliberalism/

As we approach another yet another fake ceremony pretending that 9/11 was not an inside job, I’ve been thinking of the coincidence of that date and the other significant events that happened on that date.  September 11 is not just a date to remember because of the 2001 razing of the Twin Towers and Building #7 in New York City.  It also commemorates the anniversary of 1) the birth of neoliberalism and 2) the military coup in Chile ordered by Sec. of State Henry Kissinger and executed by the CIA. 

Duly elected president of Chile, Salvador Allende, was forced out, replaced by General Augusto Pinochet, and later assassinated.  The primary objective of the September 11, 1973 coup was the neoliberal economic transformation, which led to rapid price increases for basic goods and looting of the nation’s most valuable natural resource, copper.  But even more important, perhaps, was the denigration of national sovereignty – creating a vassal state ruled by a puppet dictator.

Dead South, Deer Ticks, and Turtles

Red Rocks

Anybody’s bet on a place not to find me would be at Red Rocks Amphitheater, just down the hill from where we live, during a rock concert. We have been there three times before, but never for a packed house performance as we saw the other night. Our friends came upon some free tickets, and offered us two, and because they are really nice people and fun to be with, we accepted.

Biometric Nightmare.

We’ve got you covered.

https://id2020.org/

As 2020 approaches, isn’t it time we meet the folks designing your “full-spectrum” ID future?  ID2020 doesn’t just expand national biometric identity programs.  Casting a wide net to ensnare stateless individuals with no “record” in state-based systems.  This is of course being pitched as a benefit to individuals who “…must have the capacity to assert their identity across borders…”  —  “Privacy, portability, and persistence are necessary for digital identity to meaningfully empower and protect individuals.” 

Meet the ID2020 Alliance: 

The ID2020 Alliance is an innovative public-private partnership committed to improving lives through digital identity. The Alliance brings together multinational institutions, nonprofits, philanthropy, business, and governments to set the technical standards for a safe, secure, and interoperable digital identity that is owned and controlled by the user. It funds high-impact pilot projects that bring digital identity to vulnerable populations, and uses the data generated to find scalable solutions and inform public policy. Partners include Accenture, FHI360, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, Hyperledger, IDEO.org, iRespond, Kiva, Mercy Corps, Microsoft, Simprints, and United Nations ICC.

Anybody buying this benevolent corporate double-think?  I know, to many of our POM readers this is covering well-traveled territory.  But there are always new wrinkles to what we think we already know.  Here’s something new:

H. R. 1729, introduced March 13, 2019 by Mr. Higgins of Louisiana, amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002, establishing the Office of Biometric Identity Management.  https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/1729

In the last session of Congress (115th) there was a bill requiring biometric ID for all U.S. citizens.  It hasn’t been reintroduced in the 116th Congress as far as I know.   If passed, anyone who wants to work in the U.S. would need a biometric ID.  Cross a border, get on a  plane, enter a secure federal building, you get the ID-ea.

The elitist ruling class has really outdone themselves.  Use your unique, biological features as a weapon against every human being still breathing on earth.  Who says you aren’t the target?

Bakanovsky Brats: People or Product? CRISPR Update.

The horses are already out of the barn — worldwide!

CRISPR research has (publicly) moved into actual genetic editing of human genes to produce — wait for it — Chinese twins. Genetically modified babies are no longer cause for speculation, or at least according to a recent article over at Global Research by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky. (April 28, 2019).
https://www.globalresearch.ca/genetically-modified-babies-the-genetic-editing-of-human-life/5675809

A Chinese biology professor in Shenshen announced that he and his team of biologists had created twin, genetically-edited babies (Luna and Nana) using CRISPR – Cas9 gene-editing technology. Whether or not this is the “World’s first” is unknown at this time. Hey, that’s what they’re saying.

Well, in January the biology professor was fired from his University position. The Chinese government is “investigating.”

There’s another twist to the story. The patent on CRISPR – Cas9 technology isn’t registered in China. The Broad Institute in Cambridge, Mass. owns the patent. Check out their Board of Directors at https://www.broadinstitute.org/people/board-directors Here’s pack of pedigreed pooches if there ever was one.

“We’re talking about “Big Business” involving the potential marketing and sale of genetically modified human and animal life forms. Imagine the potential strategic and military applications, not to mention the emergence of a corporate health service economy for the super-rich, where “perfect babies” can be purchased for a million dollars.”

What are the chances that this technology has been around a lot longer than we can know? The “rollout” of actual human production in China makes sense if anyone involved with The Broad Institute is looking for a little plausible deniability when the “shit hits the fan” — in China, of course.

As they say in science-world, “more research is needed.”
