Publisher’s Note: Since 2005, we’ve suggested that Finance, Fuel, and Food are the three pillars upon which we can construct a 2nd Vermont Republic. Now might be a good time to reevaluate your assets and investments. Thanks to our old friend Dr. Mark Crispin Miller or this analysis of the “Banking Crisis” and Central bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), with useful links to help Vermonters better understand CBDCs.

Remarkable conversation/debate – “Can Bitcoin Circumvent Economic Tyranny?” – between Catherine Austin Fitts and Aleks Svetski.

Here’s a sampling:

With two major US banks going under this past week, it’s more than likely that the Next Big Thing, deployed to change the subject (from the ever-growing toll of “vaccination,” the truth about “January 6,” and other inconvenient measures of reality), is going to be that economic crash which has been hurtling toward us ever since the last one 15 years ago—a catastrophic prospect that “our free press” often has discussed, and with all due solemnity.

And it’s just as likely that that global crisis will, eventually or soon, be used to push, as its “solution,” and, therefore, our salvation, central bank digital currencies, a/k/a CBDC’s—a “cure” that will be just as deadly, in its way, as those “vaccines” that were (and still are!) pitched as our only hope; for such currency will not be yours to spend as you see fit, but only on those things “your” government allows, and only if the state has not declared you a “domestic terrorist” or spreader of “hate speech” and/or “misinformation.” Thus CBDC’s will be used to shut down all and any dissidence, as Trudeau did to the truckers in Canada, and as is increasingly the case in China.
