By Getting Rid of Cash … and Privacy: Goldman Sachs Alum Rep. Jim Himes Pushes Central Bank Digital Currency
(by William F. Jasper | Reprinted with permission from TheNewAmerican.com) – On June 22, Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) gave a boost to the push for killing the U.S. dollar and replacing it with a “digital representation.” His new report, Winning the Future of Money: A Proposal for a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency, is the latest in an ongoing propaganda blitz by political, financial, and banking elites to get the public on board the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) bandwagon.
“Over the last few years, we have seen other governments make real progress in establishing a central bank digital currency,” said Himes in a press release accompanying the release of his report. “The longer the United States government waits to embrace this innovation, the further we fall behind both foreign governments and the private sector. It is time for Congress to consider and move forward with legislation that would authorize a U.S. CBDC. I hope that this white paper will contribute meaningfully to that dialogue.”
Rep. Himes is flacking for the World Economic Forum (WEF), the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the Federal Reserve, the Atlantic Council, the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the rest of the globalist elites who have been slavering over the idea of total economic control of the entire planet.
As we have pointed out previously, (Biden, Davos, and Digital Currency), Joe Biden and the Federal Reserve have already been churning the CBDC waters:
On March 9, 2022, while world attention was fixated on Russia and Ukraine, President Joe Biden signed an executive order on “Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets.” “My Administration sees merit in showcasing United States leadership and participation in international fora related to CBDCs and in multicountry conversations and pilot projects involving CBDCs,” the Biden executive order states. It pretends to be merely ordering exploration and study of CBDCs, but the reality is that Deep State operatives are racing ahead to force a CBDC upon us.
Lawrence Fink, a veteran WEFer, pro-China member of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations, and CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager (overseeing $10 trillion), is on board with the CBDC agenda. In his March 24, 2022 letter to shareholders, he noted that “a less discussed aspect of the war is its potential impact on accelerating digital currencies.” “A global digital payment system, thoughtfully designed, can enhance the settlement of international transactions while reducing the risk of money laundering and corruption,” said Fink.
