I’m going to be out most of the day and probably will not be able to have a Substack ready for tomorrow. I saw a news story relating to the announcement that the Federal Reserve is ready to roll out its Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) payment system this coming July and wanted to comment on what I’ve been reading.
In addition to DeSantis (and those red governors who are embarrassed into following his lead) banning CBDCs, these states should form interstate compacts solidifying an economic deadzone for FedCoin. This could later be expanded to shield residents from all other future attempts at digital controls by the pedophile class.
Also, and not to try and sound tough and cool—but honestly, these states should make provisions for militias not subject to federal control. This could be as simple as passing Defend the Guard bills at the statehouse and pulling state militias home or it could go as far as handing out state-issued rifles to every citizen over a certain age and mandating regular training (as extreme as that sounds, similar measures have a history in this country). This would be a flex that hasn't been felt by the feds since the Nullification Crisis.
Yeah, I found this very encouraging. The Feds can exert a lot of pressure, so there are lots of reasons to be pessimistic about how this might turn out, but it’s still a hopeful sign. It would be especially nice if a state like Texas would enact similar legislation.
The freedom to transact is central to almost all our other rights and freedoms. Acting on this is imperative and other governors need to get over their bullshit about not wanting to wield the power, follow Desantis' lead and they have and do it against this. For those worried about wielding power judiciously, this is their opportunity. We've only to look around in the last two years to see pretty stark examples of what can happen when the freedom to transact is co-opted and shut down (Trudeau/truckers/gofundme amiright?).
