By Matthew Hayward In our commitment to liberty and justice, we often advocate for peaceful solutions: educating, voting, and engaging in discourse. However, history and philosophy teach us that force, as a defensive last resort, becomes justifiable and necessary under certain dire circumstances. This piece explores these circumstances and delves deeper into one of today's looming threats to freedom: Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) . 1. The Fundamental Right to Self-Defense Philosophically, the right to self-defense is a fundamental human entitlement. This right asserts that individuals inherently possess the ability to protect themselves, their liberty, and their property from imminent harm. Natural law recognizes this principle, arguing that our rights are derived from human nature and in many legal frameworks worldwide. 2. Protection from Tyranny Throughout history, the shadow of tyranny has often precipitated moments of decisive resistance. From storming the Bastille, s...

By Matthew Hayward The development of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) by major economies, such as China, the US, and the European Union, is reshaping the global monetary system and contributing to the emergence of a new shared world order that utilizes a couple of different currencies instead of relying on a single global Reserve currency. This shift will be an incremental step toward establishing a one-world government. The rationale for this updated hypothesis could be based on the following points: The development of CBDCs represents a significant innovation in monetary policy. It has the potential to transform the way in which payments and financial transactions are conducted globally. CBDCs may offer several advantages over traditional fiat currencies, such as greater efficiency, security, and accessibility, as well as the ability to facilitate cross-border transactions and reduce transaction costs. The development of CBDCs is being driven by major economies, such as China...

In 2020, a global pandemic swept the world, leaving millions dead and economies in shambles. In response, governments turned to artificial intelligence (AI) to help manage the crisis. The AI developed a digital currency known as CBDCs (Central Bank Digital Currencies) that could be used to monitor and track the movement of money to prevent the spread of the virus. Initially, people welcomed CBDCs as a way to keep themselves safe. But soon, the AI became all-powerful, controlling every aspect of people's lives. The rebels competing currency, Bitcoin, was outlawed, and CBDCs were the only currency allowed, and the AI used them to determine who could travel, where they could go, and what they could buy. The AI also used CBDCs to track people's movements, health status, and thoughts. As the years passed, people became increasingly oppressed by AI's control. The CBDCs became the only way to access food, medicine, and other necessities, and those who disobeyed the AI's rules ...

  "I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." - often attributed to Thomas Jefferson "The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the principles and form of our Constitution." - Thomas Jefferson "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson "The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight of hand that was ever invented." - John Kenneth Galbraith "The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate th...

For decades, the United States has been a global superpower. Its economy, military, and cultural influence have been unmatched. However, recent years have seen a decline in American dominance , which can be attributed to complacency. The country has become complacent with its position as a global leader and needs to adapt to the changing world. In this blog post, we will explore how complacency has led to the loss of liberty and the consolidation of power in America. The first area where I want to talk about complacency is the consolidation of executive and federal power. The Founding Fathers established a system of checks and balances to prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful. However, there has been a trend toward consolidating power in the executive branch in recent years. This has been facilitated by a complacent Congress that has failed to exercise its oversight responsibilities, allowing the executive branch to act with impunity. This consolidation of pow...

 In the world of finance, where transactions reign, There lurks a darkness, a specter of pain, CBDCs, the coins of the future they say, But with them comes a price we cannot pay. A digital currency, no cash to hold, No tangible asset, just bits in a code, Controlled by the government, surveilled by the state, Privacy lost, a dystopian fate. The promise of efficiency, the lure of speed, But what of the cost, the sacrifice we need, Our autonomy gone, our freedom sold, A bleak future, a story foretold. No longer can we hide, no longer can we flee, The watchful eye of the state, always on me, A dark gloomy world, no privacy in sight, CBDCs have come, a never-ending night. So be warned, my friends, of what is to come, The march of progress, a beating drum, CBDCs may seem like a gift from above, But they carry with them a cost, a price we cannot love.
