#483 ART - J Powell’s Rate Cuts, Financial Illusions & the Looming Threat of CBDC

Is America’s economic stability a mere illusion? This episode pulls back the curtain on the recent dramatic rate cuts by Jerome Powell and their ripple effects on stock markets and gold prices. We revisit pivotal moments in financial history, including the detachment from the gold standard in 1971 and the rise of the World Economic Forum, to unravel the long-term impacts on today’s financial ecosystem. By examining these historical milestones, we reveal how such economic maneuvers create a superficial sense of prosperity while hiding deeper instabilities.

Join me, Tony Arterburn, as we dissect strategic moves in the stock market, the manipulation of stock prices, and profit-taking behaviors that draw eerie parallels to historical figures like the Rothschilds. We also delve into global financial shifts, discussing the implications of the de-dollarization movement and the advent of the petroyuan. With insights from financial experts like Jim Rickards and Zero Hedge, we analyze the potential impact of central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), referred to as "Kamala bucks," and assess the looming threat they pose to the American economy.

In this thought-provoking segment, we explore Donald Trump’s vehement opposition to CBDCs and the implications for American financial freedom. Contrasting views within Trump's inner circle, including Jared Kushner's support for CBDCs, are scrutinized to forecast potential policy influences. Reflecting on events like the cash and coin shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic, we question the future of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency. Additionally, we highlight the control of government through monetary means, touching on historical events, the role of supranational entities, and the ongoing tug-of-war between centralization forces and the rise of decentralized financial innovations.
