Why Have Central Bankers Gone Radio Silent On The Digital Currency Agenda?
July 9, 2026
During the 2020 pandemic hysteria there was a mad rush by globalist institutions like the WEF, IMF, BIS and numerous national central banks to speed-run the concept of “CBDCs” (Central Bank Digital Currencies) into the mainstream consciousness. The idea of digital currencies rooted to a blockchain ledger was presented as a solution to the pandemic. A number of globalists asserted that digital exchange would be necessary because “paper money carries the covid virus.”
This was, of course, complete nonsense. There was zero evidence that shifting to digital would prevent the spread of the virus in any way. But, as I’ve said for years now, covid was their big play. It was intended to become a nexus point for a global coup; the “New World Order” takeover. The elites figured the population was so terrified that they would agree to anything without a logical reason.
They were wrong, at least in the long run. The virus was a dud (which seemed to catch them by surprise) and the death rate was minimal (0.23% median IFR). The public eventually woke up to the deception and the agenda was forced to dissolve, largely due to nearly half of all US states blocking the mandates. If Americans could live just fine without restrictions, then the rest of the world was going to follow.
I mention the pandemic once again because the attempted coup gave the general public a once in a lifetime insight into the plans and motives of the globalists. This event changed everything. Millions of people who once thought that “conspiracy theorists” were crazy just had their eyes opened to a dark reality. There really is an international cabal. They really do make evil plans in smoky rooms. They really do want a “New World Order.”
And, a big part of this new order is a global digital currency scheme.
As researchers, all of our suspicions were confirmed. Seeing the intended plans of the elites across Europe and developing nations like China and India, it’s clear that CBDCs are the ultimate economic control mechanism. Why? Because without physical money, the populace can no longer engage in trade without governments and central banks acting as the middle man.
Look at it this way: During the pandemic mandates the Biden Administration and many other governments sought to institute the first stages of what would ultimately become a vaccine passport system.
First, employers would be required by law to check workers for updated vaccination, or face endless fines. Once this became the norm, then mandatory covid tracking apps would be introduced as the only way to enter government buildings and mass transit. Eventually, everyone would be forced to use their phones (and a QR code) to get access to public places or purchase anything anywhere.
The final domino would be CBDCs and a cashless society, but Biden and friends did not have this technology in place.
Without CBDCs the control system falls apart. With physical cash, there’s no way for the government to control transactions. They can de-bank individuals who refuse to comply (as the Canadian government did), but with physical exchange there is always a path to rebellion.
Even without cash, the public could use gold and silver or barter. People could create their own black markets and survive. However, with CBDCs widely entrenched, participation in the wider economy would be impossible.
The globalists asserted that de-banking and economic banishment was not a program of “forced vaccination” (although that was the ultimate endgame). Rather, they argued cynically that people still had a “choice” – They could take the vax and live a somewhat normal life within the system, or, they could refuse the vax and be cut off from the economy, and thus cut off from most of society and likely die from abject poverty.
This is the political left’s “consequence culture” argument.
I really hope people never forget the insanity of this era and how close we came to an Orwellian hellscape. Never forget; the globalists and the political left tried to extort you into becoming a medical slave for the rest of your life. And their plan was to use economic access as the leverage to force you into submission.
So what happened? Where did all the rhetoric about CBDCs go? It was everywhere for four years and then, it was dust in the wind. Why have central banks gone radio silent?
Sadly the plan has not been canceled, it has only been moved to the background and it continues to develop behind the curtain. The Bank for International Settlement (BIS) seems to be at the helm, for now, and is pushing forward with various projects to test CBDCs in cross border trade and tracking. Currently, they are working on “Project Agora”.
Project Agora is testing the process for “tokenization” of central bank reserves – Meaning, they want to make it possible for central banks to trade assets with each other using a blockchain ledger without complications. This would be a primary step in the eventual tokenization of all central bank transactions, including transactions with corporate banks and governments.
It should be noted that the Trump Administration and the US Senate has been issuing executive orders and legislation to block the Federal Reserve from engaging in CBDCs until at least 2030. However, the Fed seems to be ignoring these demands. According to the BIS, the Fed is STILL participating in Project Agora and the Fed has not announced any withdrawal from that program.
Interestingly, the BIS avoids using the acronym “CBDC” in most of their latest project announcements. But, this is exactly what they are working on. They do mention all national legal frameworks still apply within their ledger transactions. To translate, that means that central banks and allied governments will retain tracking and control of all assets that are traded through the system (No anonymous transactions and all transactions can be frozen).
This should be worrying for everyone and the implications are staggering. The BIS and its central banking partners are quietly building the framework for national digital currency systems to interact with other national digital currency systems.
In the end, the BIS and its allies will become the middlemen for all the world’s transactions. Furthermore, once national CBDCs become the norm, the elites are only one step away from introducing a GLOBAL CBDC: A one-world digital currency.
I continue to believe that the introduction of this system will require the collapse of the US dollar. But, this event may not happen the way many of us originally imagined. I and many other economists initially believed that the alternative digital currency system to unseat the dollar would be introduced through the BRICS economic bloc, which has been working closely with the IMF.
We also argued that a crash would have to occur through internal sabotage, clearing the path for a dollar collapse.
Something seems to have changed. The influence of the BRICS has been greatly diminished in the past five years. The plan may not be to crash the dollar from within the US through domestic mishap or sabotage, at least not right away. Rather, the plan might be to introduce CBDCs in every western country that is politically cooperative with the globalists and cut out the dollar over time as the world reserve.
Recent announcements from the European Union and the European Central Bank suggest that they are preparing to bring in CBDCs regardless of what the US does.
In other words, it looks as though far-left governments in Europe, Australia and Canada plan to build a global currency network that cuts out the dollar in order to crash the dollar. They can then say it was entirely the fault of backwards conservative Americans who “live in the past and refuse to go digital…”
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve continues to work with the BIS and the globalists to make the dollar ready for tokenization with the expectation that Americans will eventually be forced to go along with the agenda, or risk being left in the dust.
Will this strategy work? It’s hard to say. The pandemic plan failed and only ended up radicalizing millions of people against the globalists by default. On top of that, the mass immigration agenda in Europe is not going over well and it’s driving the citizens to replace liberal governments with hard-right parties like Restore and AFD. But, when money becomes the weapon, things can turn ugly fast. CBDCs could create unprecedented social and political leverage for the globalists.
Luckily, the public is already well aware of the existence of CBDCs and many of the threats they pose. The globalists can try to hide their projects in a fog of obscurity and they can try to change the terms by using words like “tokenization”, but the populace is still going to recognize the dangers because their radar is now up.

Carib, June's job was incomplete, that pause was definitely a mistake.
Iranians moved the enriched uranium and used the pause to execute anyone suspect of being an informant, intelligence network got decapitated.
As I posted here, ceasefire can't hold, the deal includes IAEA access to iranian nuclear sites and that is a no go. |

Carib, probably true, Nasser was Pinky's inspiration btw.
Defeat in 1967 war was to start of his health quick decline:
However, Nasser's health severely deteriorated following the 1967 Six-Day War, where a devastating military defeat by Israel resulted in the loss of the Sinai Peninsula.
The timeline surrounding his health, stress, and political struggles is broken down below:
The 1967 Defeat: After Egypt, Jordan, and Syria were decisively defeated in June 1967, a heartbroken Nasser offered his resignation.
Massive public demonstrations in Cairo caused him to withdraw it.
Deteriorating Health: The overwhelming stress of this era took a physical toll on Nasser, who was already a heavy smoker with diabetes and a history of heart issues.
He suffered a major heart attack in 1969.The 1970 Crisis: Just days before his fatal attack, Nasser successfully brokered a tense ceasefire between Jordan’s King Hussein and PLO leader Yasser Arafat to end the "Black September" civil conflict.
This immense diplomatic effort left him exhausted.
The Fatal Attack: On the evening of September 28, 1970, Nasser suffered a fatal heart attack and was officially declared dead the following day, plunging the Arab world into a deep state of shock. |

Khamenei’s coffin being transported from Iraq to Iran
The coffin of the slain supreme leader is being transported from Iraq’s Najaf to Iran’s Mashhad before his burial today, according to the Mehr News Agency.
The transfer is the last of the funeral ceremonies that have continued for six days across Iran and Iraq, including in the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala.
Mohammad Mohammadi Golpayegani, the head of Khamenei’s office, said the late leader had requested to be buried in Mashhad, near the shrine of Imam Reza. |

'He doesn’t care about anyone': MAGA fans who lost billions buying Trump stocks and crypto now believe they were conned
Donald Trump and his family generated at least $2.2 billion in income last year (1), which is nearly four times more than he reported in 2024. Much of that money came from his supporters who invested in his businesses, such as Trump Media and Technology Group, or bought his $TRUMP meme coin.
Their fortunes, however, didn't fare nearly as well. In fact, Trump's supporters are reportedly down an estimated $7 billion after investing in the president's business ventures.
Trump Media shares have lost 56% of their value in the past year (2) , while the Trump coin's value also tumbled about 81% in that time (3). Many of the retail investors who sunk their savings into those ventures — often as a sign of loyalty to Trump — have seen the money vanish right as economic volatility began to spike. And they're not happy with Trump, or the members of his inner circle.
"We're just poor cattle to them," Chad Nedohin, who was once the unofficial captain of Trump Media's shareholders, told Forbes (4). "He doesn't care about anyone."
Core MAGA to poor MAGA
Nedohin is one of many investors who are vocally criticizing Trump and his ventures. Another, Vadim Fistikan, invested $205,000 in Trump Media in the days, weeks and months after it went public via SPAC (5). He invested the money he and his family had planned to use to buy a waterfront property in Florida.
Today, that investment is worth just $30,000. When he voiced his frustrations on Truth Social, Fistikan (a three-time Trump voter) was lambasted by Trump supporters on the social media site.
"I'm like, 'Hey, this is a scam,'" he posted, according to Forbes. "And a lot of people were like, 'No, you're just a Trump hater.' I'm like, 'No. I was on board since day one. … I'm now broke. Pretty much my whole life savings [was] in this one stock. This is the greatest theft, con job he has ever done."
Nick Pinto didn't invest in Trump Media, but when he saw Trump had launched a meme coin in January 2025, he quickly invested $7,000. He later upped that investment to $480,000 so that he could gain entry to a dinner at Trump's Virginia club.
A friend later convinced him to sell most of his position in the Trump coin, but Pinto still suffered losses of $250,000.
"This is something that the Trump family kind of came up with out of the blue," Pinto told Forbes, referring to the advice that his friend, a fellow Trump investor, shared with him. "And there's not really a way for us to predict the future of the coin or what their plans for it are."
New ventures
While the meme coin and Trump Media stock languish (and some investors have trouble finding buyers for their tokens or shares), the Trump family is investing in new ventures.
World Liberty Financial is another cryptocurrency fund which earned Trump $799 million last year, in part from when the government of the United Arab Emirates quietly purchased a stake in the company (6).
It also has released the $WLFI coin, of which the Trump family received a 75% cut of all sales of that cryptocurrency (7). Investors? They didn't do so well: $WLFI is down 74% in the past year and currently trades for just six cents per coin (8).

| Desde Ankara, la delegación española ha respondido inmediatamente que recibe con “tranquilidad y normalidad” el último ataque de Trump. Fuentes de Moncloa insisten en que España “mantiene una magnífica relación social, cultural y económica con EE.UU. y no es nuestra intención que eso cambie”, pero eso sí, recuerda a Trump que su país tiene superávit comercial con España, que las competencias de comercio las tiene exclusivamente la Comisión Europea —como ha recordado en varias ocasiones el Ejecutivo comunitario— y que “los vínculos económicos los tejen las empresas privadas, no los gobiernos”. |

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, ha vuelto a la carga contra España. En declaraciones al llegar a la cumbre de la OTAN en Ankara junto al secretario general de la OTAN, Mark Rutte, el republicano se ha ensañado con España al repasar las afrentas de los aliados contra Estados Unidos al no secundarle en su ofensiva contra Irán. El magnate ha sido especialmente duro: ha asegurado que no ha hablado con Madrid sobre Irán porque es “una causa perdida”, “mala gente” y un “terrible” aliado de la OTAN y ha ordenado cortar “todo el comercio y las visitas” con España, pese a que se trata de una competencia de la Comisión Europea.
“Ya no queremos hacer ningún tipo de negocio con España. Me gustaría que se acabara con eso. España es un socio pésimo en la OTAN. No participan, no pagan. No quiero tener nada que ver con España. Cortad todo el comercio con España, por favor, incluyendo las visitas”, ha asegurado Trump, sentado junto a Rutte en el complejo presidencial de Ankara, donde se celebra la cumbre.

Danaos Corporation (NYSE: DAC) is executing a pivot from a pure-play containership lessor into an architect of the transpacific "energy bridge" from North America to Japan.
Backed by an unprecedented container boom—yielding a $4.1 billion multi-year charter backlog and leaving 79 of its 86 vessels completely debt-free—CEO Dr. John Coustas is utilizing a $1.25 billion liquidity to capture long-term, secular macro trends.
The strategy anchors on a $50 million development equity investment in the Alaska LNG project, positioning Danaos as the preferred operator for at least six upcoming LNG carriers.
By bypassing the congested, drought-vulnerable Panama Canal, the Pacific-facing Alaska corridor slashes voyage times to Japan to just 7–9 days.
This secure, non-contiguous supply chain provides vital energy security for Tokyo as Middle Eastern geopolitical instability pushes regional war risk insurance premiums to an extreme 2.8%. |

Mitch McConnell, Joe Biden and the growing epidemic of politicians hiding health problems
There was a national reckoning after the 2024 presidential campaign about federal officials — Joe Biden and his White House, specifically — hiding important health information from the public.
But the hiding hasn’t stopped. If anything, it appears to be getting worse.
Increasingly, some very high-profile public officials seem to have concluded that constituents and the broader public simply aren’t entitled to basic information explaining lengthy absences from their jobs. And their staffs are enabling them.
Republican Rep. Tom Kean of New Jersey recently returned to the House after spending more than 100 days away with no explanation at the time, ultimately citing depression. Now, questions are building about the also-mysterious and now-weekslong absence of GOP Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
The former Senate majority leader has been missing from the chamber since being hospitalized on June 14. But his office has repeatedly declined to say why he was hospitalized, including when reached by CNN on Tuesday. |

While Samsung's chip division is running 50% margins selling $145 LPDDR5X modules to data centers, those identical high prices are actively cannibalizing the rest of the global tech economy. High memory costs are eating the margins of server builders, smartphone divisions, and PC manufacturers.
The market is realizing that memory has become an economic tax on the rest of the tech ecosystem—sparking a broader sector rotation out of hardware and semiconductor equipment suppliers (like Applied Materials and SK Hynix, which both plummeted alongside Samsung.

07-08-26 spal
TAMPA, Fla. — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces completed a new round of offensive strikes against Iran, July 7, hitting over 80 targets with precision munitions as an immediate response to Iran's latest attacks on commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S. forces struck Iranian air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar sites, anti-ship missile capabilities, and more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps small boats in and near the strait to degrade Iran’s ability to continue attacking international commerce flowing through the international trade corridor.
Iran recently attacked three commercial vessels transiting the strait including Marshall Islands-flagged M/T Al Rekayyat, Saudi Arabia-flagged M/T Wedyan, and Liberian-flagged M/T Cyprus Prosperity. The unwarranted aggression by Iranian forces is a clear and dangerous violation of the ceasefire and undermines freedom of navigation.
CENTCOM forces remain postured and prepared to hold Iran accountable when the agreement is not adhered to or obeyed. |
