I've now been to 17 countries in my quest to raise awareness about CBDCs and financial privacy. What conferences should I be speaking at next? I need to pump those numbers up! image

Dobrý den from the depths of Prague! By no choice of my own, it seems it’s now a tradition that I end up crossing the central bank. image

Authoritarians are using CBDCs—programmable money that can be turned off in an instant. They are amassing vast networks of surveillance. And they are investing more money in control than ever. A powerful warning at the @HRF Oslo Freedom Forum image

A crucial reminder at the @HRF Oslo Freedom Forum. You can’t just dismantle dictatorships. You have to replace them. image

The @HRF Oslo Freedom Forum opens with a million dollar speaker. A million dollars because that’s the bounty the government put on her. But in reality, her impact is priceless. image

I have to admit. I really didn’t expect the support I’ve gotten for my testimony against the Bank Secrecy Act. Y’all really know how to make an old man shaking his fist at the clouds feel special.

The Fourth Amendment does not expire with inflation. It does not pause at the border. And it does not bend to whichever crisis the government invokes this decade. It’s time for Americans to know that the Bank Secrecy Act is really the Bank Surveillance Act.

Did I hold up the Constitution to Congress? Yes. Did I reference the Grateful Dead? Also, yes.

I'm testifying today. The Bank Secrecy Act has created a financial surveillance regime that violates our privacy, increases the cost of banking, and doesn't stop crime.

Central bankers are cracking. Okay... maybe it's just a splinter. But still, this statement is note worthy given that most of the ECB gang acts like CBDCs are a gift from heaven. image
