The CBDC Agenda


Brandon Smith


During the 2020 pandemic hysteria there was a mad rush by globalist institutions like the WEF, IMF, BIS and numerous national central banks to introduce the concept of “CBDCs” (Central Bank Digital Currencies) into the mainstream consciousness. The idea of CBDCs was loosely tied to the pandemic, with some globalists asserting that digital currencies would be necessary because “paper money carries the covid virus”.

This was, of course, complete nonsense. There was zero evidence that shifting to digital would prevent the spread of the virus in any way. But, as I’ve said for years now, covid was intended to become a nexus point for a global coup; the “New World Order” takeover. These people thought they had it in the bag, and the elites figured the population was so terrified that they would agree to anything without a logical reason.

They were wrong. The public eventually woke up and the agenda was forced to dissolve, largely due to half of U.S. states blocking the mandates. If Americans could live just fine without restrictions, then the rest of the world was going to follow.

I would point out, though, that the pandemic coup gave the public a once in a lifetime insight into the plans and motives of the globalists. This event changed everything. Millions of people who once thought that “conspiracy theorists” were crazy just had their eyes opened to a dark reality. There really is an international cabal. They really do make evil plans in smoky rooms. There really is a “New World Order” agenda.

And, a big part of that agenda which globalists spoke of openly and frequently, was the digital currency scheme.

As researchers, all of our suspicions were confirmed. Seeing the intended plans of the elites across Europe and developing nations like China and India, it was clear that CBDCs are the ultimate economic control mechanism.

Why? Because without physical money, the populace can no longer engage in trade without governments and central banks acting as the middleman.

Use the CV vaccine drive as an analogy: First, employers would be required by law to check workers for updated vaccination, or face endless fines. Once this became the norm, then mandatory CV tracking apps would be introduced as the only way to enter public establishments and mass transit. Eventually, everyone would be forced to use their phones as a pass to purchase anything anywhere.

The final domino would be CBDCs, of course. Once all transactions are going through smartphones, the next step toward centralized control is a currency totally under control of the government.

Without CBDCs, the control system falls apart. With physical cash, there’s no way for the government to control transactions. Even without cash, the public could use gold and silver or barter (once again, as we have during crises for thousands of years). People could create their own black markets and survive.

But with a CBDC monopoly in place, participation in the wider economy would be impossible.

Back then, globalists asserted that this was not a program of “forced vaccination” (although that was surely the ultimate endgame). Rather, they argued cynically that people still had a choice – they could get vaccinated and live a somewhat normal life within the system, or, they could refuse to be vaccinated and be cut off from full economic participation, separate from most of society (and likely die from abject poverty).

This was, essentially, the “consequence culture” argument. Something like this: You say you want freedom, huh? Well here it is, hope you choke on it.

I really hope people never forget the insanity of that era and how close we came to a truly nightmarish level of central control. Remember: the globalists tried to extort you into becoming an economic slave for the rest of your life. And their plan was to use your ability to work and to buy food and fuel as leverage to force you into compliance.

So what happened? Where did all the rhetoric about CBDCs go? Why have central banks gone radio silent?

Sadly, the plan is not gone, it has only been moved to the background and it continues to develop behind the curtain. The Bank for International Settlement seems to be at the helm, for now, and is pushing forward with various projects to test CBDCs in cross border trade and tracking. Currently, they are working on “Project Agora.”

Project Agora is process for “tokenization” of central bank reserves – meaning, they want to make it possible for central banks to trade assets with each other using a blockchain ledger without complications. This would be a primary step in the eventual tokenization of all central bank transactions, including transactions with corporate banks and governments.

It should be noted that the Trump Administration and the U.S. Senate has been issuing executive orders and legislation to block the Federal Reserve from engaging in CBDCs until at least 2030. However, the Fed seems to be ignoring these demands. According to the BIS, the Fed is still participating in Project Agora and the Fed has not announced any withdrawal from the program.

Interestingly, the BIS avoids using the acronym “CBDC” in most of their latest project announcements. Let me be clear, though: this is exactly what they are working on. They do mention that legal frameworks still apply within their ledger transactions. To translate, that means that central banks and governments will retain tracking and control of all assets that are traded through the system (No anonymous transactions and any transactions can be blocked).

This should be worrying for everyone. The implications are staggering. The BIS and its globalist partners are quietly building the framework for national digital currency systems to interact with other national digital currency systems. In the end, the BIS and its partners will become the global middle man for all the world’s transactions. 

Furthermore, once national CBDCs become the norm, they are only one step away from introducing a global CBDC – in otherwords, one world digital currency.

I continue to believe that the introduction of this system will require the collapse of the U.S. dollar. But, this event may not look like what we originally imagined. Recent announcements from the European Union and the European Central Bank suggest that they are preparing to bring in CBDCs regardless of what the U.S. does.

The plan may not be to crash the dollar from within the U.S. through domestic mishap. Rather, the plan might be to introduce CBDCs in every country that is politically cooperative and cut out the dollar over time as the world reserve because “the U.S. refuses to go digital and is living in the past…”

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve continues to work with the BIS and the globalists to make the dollar ready for tokenization with the expectation that America will eventually be forced to go along with the agenda, or risk being left in the dust.
