A Cashless Society Will End Freedom

Apr 18, 2023

Imagine being told that you can’t donate to an organization because it's not on the “approved” list. With the proposed Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), you could be prevented from buying a gun or ammunition. Your airplane ticket could be denied because you dared attend church during one of the many unconstitutional lockdowns.

Joe Biden issued an executive order to push America toward a cashless society in which “climate change” and “equity” are paramount objectives. What is being termed as “FedCoin” will be the end of freedom. The government will have a line-item veto over your spending, and this includes using your money to pay reparations.

There are two bills in Congress to stop the government from targeting American citizens.

We can stop this serious threat to freedom if we speak up now. Tell Congress to VOTE YES on HR 1122 and S 887 to protect Americans from Biden’s money grab! —Mat

Our government is working to launch a Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) that will give the government ultimate control of our lives.

Based on what we have already seen in China, if someone buys certain food or drink, it will lower that person’s social credit score. If they criticize the government, it can lower their social score. If they don’t get enough steps walked each day, that can lower their social credit score. If they take any action not recommended by the government, it can damage their score.

Then, if they want to buy a certain car, rent a certain apartment, or travel to a certain destination, the government can deny the person’s request based on their social credit score.  

If our own government is allowed to launch this programmable digital currency, it can approve or disapprove every individual purchase. It will be able to control your money and you!  

Using a CBDC, the government can erase or reduce your money. It can assign a higher value to a person’s money who is a member of a certain group while reducing the value of your money — simply because you are a certain race, ethnicity, religion, or status.

No government should be allowed to wield this much power. Right now, Congress is considering two bills to protect our privacy from Joe Biden’s IRS — HR 1122 and S 887.

It's hard to imagine the extent to which the government could wield control over you.

If the government wants to increase spending, it can set expiration dates for all or certain amounts of your money. The government can decide you own too much and take it away. Or if it decides someone else owns too little, it can give them money that will destroy their motivation and work ethic.

This programmable digital currency gives the government power over the economic process. It can make your money expire, or if you make a purchase the government doesn’t like, it can stop that transaction from going through or freeze your account altogether.

A CBDC could limit your fuel consumption, the kind of vehicle you purchase, and the groceries you buy, and it can steer you toward “green” purchases.

For most transactions, the government must ask a judge for a search warrant for your bank accounts. However, if the government becomes, in essence, your bank through this federal digital currency, then the government won’t need a warrant. The government will already have every dollar, every penny you own or spend.  

We cannot give the federal government this much control!  

We must STOP THIS TAKEOVER OF OUR FREEDOM.

JOIN US IN THIS FIGHT TO STOP THE GOVERNMENT FROM USING CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCIES TO CONTROL US.

Our freedom to work, shop, dine, travel, worship, and serve our country must not depend on a government approving of each of our actions or words!
