What if the government IS your bank?

Jun 22, 2023

The White House is working to replicate the financial control that the Chinese Communist Party holds over its people. Right now, just a handful of congressional members are trying to stop Joe Biden.

We need YOUR HELP to stop Biden from implementing this deceptive “FedCoin” — a digital currency designed to replace cash and insert government control over your every transaction. Below we will reveal the alarming implications of so-called “digital currency.” It is worse than you can imagine.

Take a moment to FAX CONGRESS NOW, then read on for the details of this shocking plan to control every purchase we make. Tell Congress to VOTE YES on HR 1122, HR 3712, and S 887 to protect Americans from Biden’s CCP-like FedCoin! —Your Faith & Liberty team

The Biden administration is working with the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to develop a replacement for paper and coin currency. The Fed plans to issue what is known as a “Central Bank Digital Currency” or CBDC, which some call “FedCoin.”

Already the Chinese government has launched a CBDC, and most recently, it is targeting the elderly, villagers, and high school students with an offline “Smart ID” card. This enables non-internet-connected payments up to a certain limit. This gives these communists total control over both online and in-person payments!

And now Biden wants the same thing in America. CBDC will effectively turn the government into a commercial bank — the bank to replace all banks, if you will. Once the government becomes your bank, it will control every purchase you make.

A CBDC gives governments the ability to erase bank accounts of their political enemies, and control where people are allowed to shop and what they are allowed to buy.

A CBDC can even put an “expiration date” on funds, forcing people to spend money or the government simply takes it away. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has already issued its CBDC, called the digital yuan, and uses it as part of its social credit score that regulates people at home and around the world.

Furthermore, when the government is your direct bank, it can withhold home loans, auto financing, and other fiscal instruments, not because of your credit, but because of your political inclinations or your poor social score for not supporting green initiatives and progressive ideals. If you want to buy a gas vehicle rather than an EV, you could be blocked. If you want to buy a handgun, your transaction could be halted.

CBDC allows the government to individually monitor and control your purchases — and even your contributions.

Some members of Congress are alarmed by this shocking attempt to rob Americans of their most basic privacy. Rep. Tom Emmers (R-MN), Rep. Alexander Mooney (R-WV), and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) have filed HR 1122, HR 3712, and S 887, respectively, to stop this federal power grab.

“As the Federal Reserve continues its study of central bank digital currencies, one thing has become clear — CBDCs pose a clear threat to Americans’ financial independence,” said HR 1122 co-sponsor Byron Donalds (FL-80). “Rather than following the lead of oppressive regimes like China and Russia, we should dramatically decrease the federal government’s involvement in personal finances and look to the free market to guide the way regarding innovation. That’s why I’m proud to support Congressman Emmer’s CBDC Anti-Surveillance State Act, which prevents the issuance of a retail CBDC and ensures the Fed stays within its statutory bounds.”

Rep. Warren Davidson said, “A retail CBDC would essentially allow the government to mediate all transactions, which would mirror what we see in China. It’s vital to ensure this does not happen here.”

Sen. Cruz said, “The federal government has no authority to unilaterally establish a central bank currency. This bill goes a long way in making sure big government doesn’t attempt to centralize or control cryptocurrency.”

During the COVID shutdowns, we bore witness, and in some states, have been held hostage by government agencies that sought to dictate where and how we could eat, shop, and worship.

Remember when the City of Los Angeles threatened to cut the power and water if a certain church would not forfeit its First Amendment right to worship? Under a CBDC, the government could simply freeze or erase the church’s bank accounts.

Remember when New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg tried to ban “Big Gulps,” sugary drinks, and large popcorn buckets? Under a CBDC, a person would not be allowed to spend money on such purchases.

The tracking is just as bad as the control. Currently, if the government wants to see how you have been spending your money, a warrant is generally necessary.

But if the government IS your bank, your bank ledger is already right in front of them.

The Biden administration is already seeking this level of spying, as can be witnessed by Biden’s recent executive order requiring banks to report any transaction over 600 dollars to the federal government.

The vaccine apps meant to trace, track, and control us didn’t fly with the American people. So now Joe Biden and his globalist masters are using the FedCoin CBDC to up the ante — by controlling every penny of our finances and, therefore, our lives. This is a serious threat to freedom.
