Even Worse than COVID Lockdowns

Aug 31, 2024

Thailand is now bribing its citizens into accepting digital control of their finances. Last week, the Thai government opened registration for Thai residents to receive “free” money. 

The Thai government is hoping that 45-50 million citizens accept their “free” money. But there’s a catch the residents are not receiving cash. Instead, they are being bribed into accepting a digital financial control scheme the country’s newly created Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). 

The Biden/Harris administration is pushing for the same thing in America, beginning with welfare recipients. 

There’s an old story about how to trap wild pigs. Maybe you’ve heard it before. The hunter places food in the forest for the pigs to eat. The pigs grow used to the free food and keep coming back. Each time the food is refilled, another fence goes up, slowly encircling the animals distracted by their free feast. The pigs don’t see the danger until the last fence is erected around their “free food” pile, and the pigs are fully trapped in the pen before being hauled off for slaughter. 

That analogy is what is happening around the world with Central Bank Digital Currencies. 

The Thai government is giving away 50 billion dollars of the country’s newly invented CBDC and hopes that 45-50 million Thai citizens will accept the digital funny money. The users must open a government-authorized digital wallet to receive, hold, and spend the CBDC. And of course, because the government owns and controls both the wallet and the “currency,” the government will control the user by controlling their money. 

Communist China used nearly the same tactic when it began implementing its digital financial control scheme a few years ago. When the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) first introduced its CBDC, Chinese citizens were loath to adopt it. So, the CCP began giving away “free” money.  

Through a series of giveaways and lotteries, the CCP has given away millions in free digital currency to its citizens, but that free money comes with strings attached. The CCP gets to monitor and control how and when a person uses their “money.  

Fast-forward to 2024, and the CCP’s control has become so pervasive that if the party feels a user has spent too much money on gasoline or health care, the CCP forbids the user from spending his or her own money, no matter how much money is in that person’s account. Because the CCP controls the digital wallet and payment systems, the person’s payment card is automatically rejected at the place of payment, be that a gas pump or a doctor’s office. 

In March 2022, Joe Biden issued Executive Order 14067, in which the Biden- Harris administration ordered the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to begin developing a U.S. CBDC that will replace cold, hard, and uncontrollable cash. And Kamala Harris is even worse on this issue than Biden.  

Dr. Peter St. Onge, an economist with The Heritage Foundation and Mises Institute, says CBDCs effectively convert money from an asset we own into a vehicle for governments to own, monitor, and control every citizen’s money. And by controlling the money, the government controls the people. 

It’s the “financial equivalent of COVID lockdowns forever,” says Dr. St. Onge. 

Here at Liberty Counsel, we are acutely aware of the tyranny the COVID lockdowns fostered. The government robbed Americans of their most basic rights, arresting people and pastors for opening their churches, and even yanking the medical licenses of health care professionals who refused to accept Dr. Fauci’s dangerous shots. For 35 years, we have fought our own government to force them to abide by the constitutional guarantees to citizens, including the freedom to worship, the freedom of speech, and the freedom to live in a way that honors our Lord.  

We have seen tyranny at work in federal, state, and local agencies. We’ve won more than 30 cases that we have argued or briefed at the U.S. Supreme Court. But if U.S. citizens allow the federal government to replace cold hard cash with digital, programmable “funny money, the government will control every aspect of our lives. 

We cannot allow this to happen. We must stop this insanity now, before tyrants drive the last peg in the fence with which they are trying to trap us. We cannot wait in hopes of a new president or Congress to save us. We must stop Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ CBDC pig trap NOW before it is too late.

As you do, please consider funding our legal work. The past several years of tyranny have stretched our resources as never before. As you can see in our record before the U.S. Supreme Court and other venues, when we show up, we win. But we can only show up with your direct financial support.
