Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, former congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, and Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are calling out the Federal Reserve’s attempt to create an alternative, digital dollar.
The three warn will be used to restrict civil liberties as seen in countries like China, where access to one’s money is dictated by a social credit scoring system.
This reaction came after the Fed released information regarding its “FedNow” initiative, in which they seek to find a new way for banks to transfer funds between one another at a faster pace. Additionally, they are continuing efforts to push forward a central-bank digital currency that could achieve the same goal, which would also allow individual banks to use them as instantaneous digital “cash.”
NBC News and other regime-media outlets were quick to run cover for the Fed, attacking DeSantis and RFK Jr. specifically for ‘misconstruing’ the two plans as one. At a conference last week when touching on the subject, DeSantis claimed that “They are going to try to impose an ESG [Environmental, Social, Governance] agenda.” ESG is a private sector attempt of establishing radical liberal agendas into businesses, and is endorsed and promoted by the World Economic Forum.As noted earlier, the FedNow system won’t necessarily be the same as a central bank digital currency, but the latter would certainly make the former easier, and you know they definitely want the latter.
And at least temporarily, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell has said the Fed would need an act of Congress to create a consumer digital currency.
In Australia, the ESG movement has already managed to put in place a policy in which banks will no longer be issuing loans for gas-powered vehicles.
Robert Kennedy Jr., who recently filed his appropriate FEC paperwork to run for president seeking the Democratic nomination, posted to Twitter around the same time as DeSantis’ remarks that a central bank issued digital currency would almost guarantee the federal government to “surveil all our private financial affairs… enforce dollar limited on our transactions restricting where you can send money” and “freeze your assets or limit your spending to approved vendors if you fail to comply with arbitrary diktats, i.e. vaccine mandates.”
