Is the Push for Digital Currency Impacting Your Freedom?

iStock 901968208You may be aware by now, in 2022, our fearless US leader signed Executive Order 14067 entitled, “Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets.” This order is designed to regulate digital assets through central bank digital currency (CDBC). You also hear it called the digital dollar, or FedCoin. If you don’t see this action by the government as using the front of digital currency to take more control, you may be missing something. Aside from the secretive signing of this executive order, think about the faulty narratives that surround this takeover: 1) digital currency would supposedly make transactions easier and help manage fraud, 2) digital currency is already being used (in the neighborhood of 90%) in the form or cards and crypto, so what’s the real meaning for this order, and 3) the amount of circulating cash money is healthy, but not government-traceable so they can’t stand it.

In an Investopedia article entitled White House Considers Creating a Digital Dollar, there some clear messages as to the underlying scheme behind it. It reads, “Creating a US CBDC while dealing with fraud and illicit activities could, according to the framework, enable a payment system that is more efficient, provides a foundation for further technological innovation, facilitates faster cross-border transactions, and is environmentally sustainable. It could also promote financial inclusion and equity by enabling access for a broad set of consumers.” Read between the lines. This executive order is just one of many ways in which the government is transitioning to a socialist philosophy and impacting American freedoms.

When you consider how the US monetary system has transformed in recent years, a digital currency doesn’t seem new. People have been able to perform mobile banking, submit electronic payments, and transfer funds electronically for years. Payment systems have increased dramatically to the point in which a digital currency is acceptable. The real problem with the new FedCoin: 1) the assignment of 87,000 IRS agents to govern your spending, 2) no financial privacy but rather insight into every financial transaction made, 3) full traceability of your income, expenses and assets, and 4) a system of legal tender in which every citizen must by law accept it. What’s changing is the full manipulation by the government of American currency. If you haven’t read up on The Great Reset, now might be the time. If you haven’t heard about China’s plan to dominate the world by 2030, get online and take a look. Digital currency plays a role.

How can the government take control of 332 million US people, you ask? You saw it happen with your own eyes during the Covid-19 pandemic. You see it every year when you have to struggle through tax season. You feel it every month when you pay your healthcare bill or take a reduction in your paycheck to cover it. You hear in the news daily about the threats to the first and second amendments—which you recognize as our freedom of the press and our right to keep and bear arms. Have you stopped to consider how much control the government has over you? Have you noticed how foreign governments have interfered? In China, the government sees every e-yuan payment as it is made and freedom is limited. Just imagine how the US government can use the monetary system to coerce every citizen. Government interference is not that hard for them.

How Can Americans Respond?

iStock 1411410690The government’s executive order to modify our monetary system and push us to a digital currency system is pure blackmail. As Americans, we must first recognize what is taking place and become informed as to how they plan to do it and when. We must understand that we are being led toward the path of socialism. Imagine tax refunds, welfare checks, military pension, and social security depositing into your new FedCoin account. There are steps people must take to respond to this monetary takeover:

  • Contact your state and local government representatives and make your voice known that you are against a government based FedCoin; that you see this as a way for the government to gain more control over every citizen.
  • Get out and vote in every election possible. Many of the control decisions often start at the voting level.
  • Purchase physical precious metals in the form of gold and silver. These are accessible assets that are owner controlled (so far), with the help of a custodian for purchase and storage.
  • Consider a gold- or silver-backed individual retirement account (IRA), for limited government control.
  • Seek out readily-available private assets (often non-paper) that are not trackable or traceable (usually precious metals or real estate).

While Americans are generally at the mercy of the government, if every person steps up and makes their voice heard, we can change America back the patriotic country is once was.

When the world goes cashless, go for the gold

Hurricane Helene’s devastation of the western North Carolina region was catastrophic. There are many lessons to be learned, and many warnings to heed.

One lesson is that prepping is not something only crazy conspiracy theorists do because they fear some Mad Max apocalyptic dystopian future. It is something sensible people do because sometimes it rains. The people getting along best in the mountains right now had generators on hand, a way to filter water and make it drinkable. They had batteries, flashlights, shelf stable food supplies and gas-powered cooking equipment. It never hurts to be prepared.

We also got a new look at what modern life looks like in the face of longer term, widespread power and internet loss. To quote this Facebook user, “It gets weird fast.”

You can’t hardly open a hotel room anymore without electricity. It was a challenge to pump gas at stations that had any left, let alone pay for it. Out came the calculators and paper ledgers. It was back to the stone ages. If you didn’t have enough cash on hand for your immediate needs, you were relying on the kindness of strangers. And hurricane victims in the mountains are receiving a lot of kindness right now, but some of us hate to be put in that position. We prefer to have resources to pay our own way, as needed.

Keep these lessons in mind as the world continues to barrel towards a cashless society. More and more businesses are taking cards only for their normal daily operations. What will they do when their power grid fails someday?

And if cash disappears altogether, you’ll be glad you put aside a little gold and silver in your home safe. Should disaster strike, even many years in the future, a couple silver coins will likely still buy you a tank of gas or a few days supply of groceries. Maybe an ounce or two of gold will handsomely reward the fellow who repairs your driveway. You never know.

But it will be better to have it and not need it than need it and have nothing. And of course, bitcoin doesn’t do anyone in the mountains one bit of good right now if they have no internet and a dead phone.

Are you ready to get serious about preparing for the future? There are so many reasons to invest in physical gold and silver right now. Emergency preparedness is just one. And not even the best one. There are so many more. Call us and let us help you get started.

Could Gold Re-Monetize?

For thousands of years of human history, humans have naturally gravitated to gold and silver as money. Is paper losing ground?

Money is both a store of wealth and a medium of exchange. For something to be considered money, it must have certain characteristics. Scarcity, desirability, divisibility, universal recognizability and acceptance, portability, durability. Gold and silver have almost magically fulfilled those requirements in unconnected cultures in diverse times and places all throughout history. No other substance lends itself so naturally to these purposes.

Is it hubris to think that paper and digital representations of money can permanently replace what has worked for hundred of centuries? Maybe so…

Consider that since the US weaponized the dollar and shut out Russia and other nations with sanctions, that negates an important and vital characteristic of money – universal acceptability. If a significant portion of the globe is shut out of the dollar, yet they still have oil and goods and a desire to engage in global commerce, they will still do so, but will trade in something else.

Consider Russia’s recent announcement that they will use their recent oil windfalls to acquire more gold. Russia selling oil for gold in September – The Jerusalem Post (jpost.com) And not just by a little. Their purchases of gold will go from 1 billion rubles a day to 8 billion rubles a day. This is largely enabled by massive profit increases from gold sales.

What are they doing with this gold? It looks like they are using it to pay Chinese suppliers. https://vblgoldfix.substack.com/p/russian-businesses-now-using-gold The Chinese are more than happy to accept payment in gold for manufactured goods.

Gold has become a medium of exchange between Russia, the oil markets and China.

Will this trend grow? Is gold retaking its place as a global currency? That remains to be seen, but it recently reached yet another all-time high last week at $2580 an ounce.

The dollar used to capture trade deals like this. Yes, even between foreign countries that were not even interacting with the US. That universal acceptance and desirability was part of what spurred so much demand for US dollars. The dollar’s status as THE currency of international business allowed us to print so much currency with little to no inflation here at home to show for it. We exported all our inflation. In fact, dollars have been our chief export for over 5 decades, since Nixon closed the gold window in the 1970’s.

If that comes to an end, you should look at the price of gold not so much as gold going HIGHER, but the reality of the dollar going LOWER.

Are you ready to preserve your purchasing power with gold? If this trend DOES continue, this would be a power move to make right now. Call us while you can still get a good amount of precious metals for your diminishing dollars!

Strap In. Roller Coaster Markets Ahead

In today’s uncertain financial landscape, protecting and diversifying your portfolio has never been more urgent. The latest economic indicators are flashing warning signs that a downturn could be on the horizon, leaving many investors exposed to the volatility of dollar-denominated “paper” assets like stocks, bonds, and cash.

Why wait to act? Here’s what we know:

Economic Pessimism is Rising: A recent survey from the Fed shows weaker job growth and a slowing economy. More Americans are locked into jobs they may not be satisfied with because hiring is more and more stagnant. Growing pessimism among leading economists and financial experts is partly fueled by a widening trade deficit and lower productivity in the US. Sluggish growth, inflationary pressures, and other factors indicate potential market corrections could be on the horizon.
Market Volatility is Increasing: Today’s markets anticipate and then react to more and more bad news. Uncertainty surrounding Federal Reserve policies, rising debt levels, and geopolitical tensions is leading to greater instability in global markets, with many pointing to an almost inevitable downturn.
Inflation is Eroding Wealth: As inflation persists, the purchasing power of your dollar-denominated assets is diminishing, putting your financial future at risk. In spite of optimistic economic indicators from the ivory towers, Americans are still grasping at pennies when shopping for basic necessities.

What can you do to safeguard your wealth?

It’s time to consider moving a portion of your portfolio out of “paper” assets and into hard assets like gold and silver. Precious metals have been a trusted store of value for centuries, acting as a hedge against inflation, economic uncertainty, and market volatility.

Here’s why you should act now:

Diversify Your Portfolio: Gold and silver can reduce your exposure to dollar depreciation and market downturns, offering greater stability in times of crisis.
Inflation Hedge: Historically, precious metals retain their value and even appreciate during inflationary periods, protecting your purchasing power.
Global Demand is Increasing: As more investors flock to safe-haven assets, demand for gold and silver is surging. Acting now ensures you lock in today’s prices before they rise further.

Your Next Steps
Don’t wait for the markets to dictate your financial future. Protect yourself by diversifying into gold and silver now.
