By The Sharp Edge When asked if a United States CBDC would be used to control how, when and where the population spends their money, a senior vice president for the St. Louis Fed’s Research Division responded, “in life, one can’t give absolute assurance of anything…The best we can hope for, is for Congress to respond to the electorate’s concerns about privacy.” However, signals by the Biden regime and the Federal Reserve indicate they intend to move forward on a CBDC, regardless of any approval from Congress, industry leaders or the public. In fact, there are a growing number of research and pilot programs in various phases of development in America and around the world, despite public concerns of an impending digital currency enslavement system tied to a digital ID and social credit system. The Biden Regime Presses Forward On March 9, 2022, the Biden regime issued an Executive Order on ‘Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets,’ which placed “the highest urgency on research and development efforts into the potential design and deployment options of a United States CBDC.” The EO commanded Attorney General Garland, Treasury Secretary Yellen, and Federal Reserve Chair Powell to determine if a legal path to bypass Congress is possible, stating, “within 180 days of the date of this order [by September 5, 2022], provide the President…an assessment of whether legislative changes would be necessary to issue a United States CBDC, should it be deemed appropriate and in the national interest.” The EO further directed them to provide the President with a legislative proposal within 210 days, by October 5, 2022. A former Fed vice chair, Randal Quarles, remarked that any bill in Congress authorizing a CBDC would be unlikely to pass, noting a lack of support from the public. In July of 2021, lawmakers introduced legislation that has yet to pass, known as the ‘Digital Asset Market Structure and Investor Protection Act,’ which appears to authorize the Fed to issue digital versions of Federal Reserve notes and to use distributed ledger technology for the “creation, distribution and recordation of all transactions involving digital Federal reserve notes.” On the other hand, legislation was introduced in January of 2022 to prohibit the Federal Reserve from issuing a CBDC directly to individuals. In March of 2022, legislatures proposed an alternative to CBDC in a bill known as the ‘ECASH Act‘, which proposes to develop an electronic version of the US dollar issued by the US Treasury instead of the Federal Reserve, and purports to imitate the privacy and anonymity features of cash. While there is no current federal statute mandating businesses to accept cash, lawmakers introduced the ‘Payment Choice Act of 2021‘, designed to require retail businesses to accept cash as a form of payment. In all, Congress has introduced 50 bills on digital assets, blockchain, and CBDCs. During a May 26, 2022, House Committee hearing, some lawmakers took issue with the Biden regime’s Executive Order and the ambiguity of the Federal Reserve’s comment in their January 2022 discussion paper, which states, “The Federal Reserve does not intend to proceed with issuance of a CBDC without clear support from the executive branch and from Congress, ideally in the form of a specific authorizing law.” Representative Andy Barr commented, “This to me suggests that the administration is not yet convinced that Congress has a role here.” Lawmakers were unable to seek clarity from the vice chair of the Federal Reserve during the hearing on whether the Fed would in fact proceed with the issuance of a CBDC without official Congressional authorization. Other issues raised in the House Committee hearing on CBDCs included risks to the public of mass surveillance and targeting of citizens who are critical of the regime. Representative Warren Davidson remarked to the Fed vice chair, “The concern is the surveillance state… If you turn the Central Bank Digital Currency into this creepy surveillance tool…it literally is what China is developing and we shouldn’t imitate them. We should protect America’s way of life.” The threat of adopting China’s model for surveillance and control has become even more apparent in recent days, as China thwarted attempts by protesters to access their frozen funds by turning their QR codes red. Representative John Rose addressed his concerns to the vice chair, adding, “We saw how dangerous it can be when the government weaponizes the financial system for political purposes under the Obama Administration’s Operation Choke Point. More recently, the Canadian government instructed banks to freeze accounts linked to the trucker protests over vaccine mandates…Without appropriate safeguards, would a CBDC make it easier for the federal government to block individuals it disagrees with from accessing the financial system?” Vice Chair Brainard did not deny that CBDCs could be used to block access of individuals, stating that the use of CBDCs would essentially be no different from the current banking systems, from which accounts of political dissidents have been frozen. Legislatures aren’t the only ones concerned about the rise of the CBDC surveillance system. Both the public and shareholders were invited to submit comments on the Federal Reserve’s plans to issue a CBDC, many of whom were resolutely opposed to the idea. One citizen wrote, “You don’t want privacy. You want to control every aspect of our lives.” Another individual replied, “I do not want government in charge of access to the kill switch to my account/money if I do not ‘tow the line.’” Yet another responded, “Stop playing games with our lives. And ignore Klaus Schwab. I fear the system completely breaking down if CBDC is enacted. Because Americans want privacy, freedom, and their work rewarded with sound money.” In response to the Fed paper on CBDCs, the American Bankers Association warned how the disbursement of a CBDC would devastate local banks, stating, “The issuance of a CBDC would fundamentally rewire our banking and financial system by changing the relationship between citizens and the Federal Reserve,” adding, “The risks associated with issuing a CBDC are often downplayed but are real and likely to undermine any possible benefit that a CBDC would have. Most importantly, every construction of CBDC requires moving funds from banks to the Federal Reserve.” The ABA concluded, “As we have evaluated the likely impacts of issuing a CBDC it has become clear that the purported benefits of a CBDC are uncertain and unlikely to be realized, while the costs are real and acute. Based on this analysis, we do not see a compelling case for a CBDC in the United States today.” Despite numerous dissenting voices among Congress, industry leaders and the public, the Biden regime and the Federal Reserve are pressing forward with plans to develop a United States CBDC. The Fed released yet another paper on the issuance of a retail CBDC in April of 2022. On June 17,2022, Fed Chair Powell lamented the decline of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency (driven by reckless federal spending and intentional mismanagement) and looked to a United States CBDC as a solution to the problems they’ve created, stating, “Looking forward, rapid changes are taking place in the global monetary system that may affect the international role of the dollar in the future. Most major economies already have or are in the process of developing instant, 24/7 payments. Our own FedNow Service will be coming online in 2023. And in light of the tremendous growth in crypto-assets and stablecoins, we are examining whether a US central bank digital currency would improve upon what is an already safe and efficient domestic payments system. As our white paper on this topic notes, a U.S. CBDC could also potentially help maintain the dollar’s international standing.” Research & Development Projects Underway There are a multitude of research and development programs for CBDCs underway. Currently, 105 countries, which represent more than 95% of the global GDP, are in various phases of CBDC exploration. Approximately 50 countries are in the advanced phases of research and development, while 28 retail CBDC pilots and 3 live retail CBDCs have been implemented. A study of 81 central banks determined that 90% are currently researching CBDCs, and over half are in the developmental or experimental phases. Several key areas of CBDC exploration are highlighted below. China & e-CNY Project China’s CBDC pilot program continues to expand since the announcement of its launch in 2020, gaining 261 million digital wallets opened in 2021. The Chinese government has extended the program to include more regions and applications. As China’s CBDC pilot program expands, so do their surveillance capabilities of Chinese citizens, multinational corporations, and other consumers around the world. On May 25, 2022, Senators introduced a bill known as the ‘Defending Americans from Authoritarian Digital Currencies Act,’ to prohibit app platforms, such as Apple and Google, from hosting apps that accept China’s digital currency. Senator Tom Cotton commented that the digital currency will provide the Chinese government with “real-time visibility into all transactions on the network, posing privacy and security concerns for American persons who join this network,” adding, “The Chinese Communist Party will use its digital currency to control and spy on anyone who uses it. We can’t give China that chance.” On June 7, 2022, lawmakers introduced a bill in the Senate known as the ‘Responsible Financial Innovation Act,’ to regulate crypto and to direct several agencies including: CISA, ODNI, and the DoD to investigate the national security implications of the use of China’s CBDC. United States & Project Hamilton The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and MIT Digital Currency Initiative are collaborating on a CBDC exploratory project known as ‘Project Hamilton.’ The first phase of the operation was completed, demonstrating the feasibility of a CBDC payment system similar to the scale of the US economy and the US dollar’s utilization globally. Phase 2 of the project will focus on security, programmability, “how to balance privacy with compliance,” and safeguards against cyber-attacks. Critics argue that a United States CBDC does not address the issues of cybersecurity, government abuse, privacy, and centralized control. Congressman Tom Emmer commented, “Not only would this CBDC model centralize Americans’ financial information, leaving it vulnerable to attack, but it could also be used as a surveillance tool that Americans should never tolerate from their own government,” adding that, “Requiring users to open up an account at the Fed to access a US CBDC would put the Fed on an insidious path akin to China’s digital authoritarianism.” Laying the foundation for their CBDC program, the Fed has developed “a new instant payment infrastructure” known as FedNow. The new digital interbank instant payment system is expected to launch in 2023. European Union & Digital Euro Project The investigation phase of the Digital Euro Project began in October of 2021 and will be completed by October of 2023. As part of the investigation phase, the European Central Bank has solicited public feedback. The ECB received 8,200 public responses, a record number of participants in the survey that ended in January of 2021. The feedback from this consultation provided a clear mandate, with the majority of respondents confirming that the public wants “payments to remain a private matter.” The ECB again solicited public feedback in a survey that ended in June of 2022, which received well more than double the number of responses as the previous survey. Once again, the public survey determined an overwhelming rejection of “digital slavery,” from a CBDC “slavecoin.” One respondent wrote, “No to the digital Euro! Living in the EU is becoming a nightmare, with forced vaccinations on the horizon, and now a digital Euro. It is clear that you want to have a population with no rights and no privacy – as wanted by your overlords of the WEF.” Despite the crushing negative public responses to a CBDC over privacy concerns, the European Central Bank is moving forward with their plans. European Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni remarked to the press that, “A completely anonymous digital euro is not desirable.” A digital euro prototype is expected to launch in late 2023.

By The Sharp Edge In an appearance at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2022, climate-grifter, Al Gore, took the opportunity to, once again, tout Climate TRACE, a coalition backed by the former Vice President and former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt. In response to a comment made by WEF panelist, Lea Wermelin, on the responsibility of governments to make structural changes in our economy to combat climate change, Gore replied, “I have good news on this front. We are about to enter an age of radical transparency. I have been among those who have formed a new coalition called ‘Climate TRACE’…Tracking Real-time Atmospheric Carbon Emissions. It’s a coalition of artificial intelligence technology companies, NGOs, and universities, using data from 300 existing satellites from multiple countries, ground, sea and air-based censors, and internet data streams, to use machine-learning to create algorithms for every single sub-sector of the economy.” This colossal data-collection project aims to replace the current self-reporting system of greenhouse gas emissions by countries and companies, who have committed to net zero goals, by publishing reports of climate offenders so that countries, companies, and even individuals can be “held accountable.” The Google-backed AI algorithm used by Climate TRACE appears to lay the framework for enforcing ESG initiatives heavily pushed by financial behemoths such as BlackRock, as well as a technocratic social and climate credit system. A Framework for ESG Initiatives BlackRock CEO, Larry Fink, has made no attempts to hide his plans to demolish the current economy through environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards. In his 2021 letter to CEOs, Fink remarked, “It’s important to recognize that net zero demands a transformation of the entire economy.” Since Larry Fink issued a letter to CEOs in 2020, which focused on BlackRock’s shift from shareholder capitalism to stakeholder capitalism, by assessing companies based on ESG initiatives, corporations have been falling in line with Blackrock’s ‘woke’ climate agenda. However, Al Gore warned his fellow climate activists at the WEF 2022 Annual Meeting that, “greenwashing,” or the act of falsely claiming to be environmentally sustainable, “is a major obstacle to solving the climate crisis. It is made up of falsehoods, clever PR, and it has to stop.” Of course, Gore presents his Climate TRACE framework as the perfect solution and has stated that investors (such as BlackRock), could potentially use this technocratic system to hold corporations responsible for falling in line with their ESG standards. Billionaire critics of Fink’s ESG initiatives, Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, have publicly pushed back on BlackRock’s attempts to fundamentally change the economy based on ‘woke’ ideology. Elon Musk recently remarked on Twitter, “Exxon is rated top ten best in the world for environment, social & governance (ESG) by S&P 500, while Tesla didn’t make the list! ESG is a scam. It has been weaponized by phony social justice warriors.” Republican lawmakers have introduced legislation, known as the INDEX Act, designed to limit the power of mega money managers, like BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard, from using other people’s money to push a toxic mix of personal politics and climate doom hysteria. A Foundation for Social & Climate Credit System Aside from the obvious dangers of providing a framework for radically transforming an already unstable economy, a far greater threat of this Google-backed global surveillance system is the way in which it could be used against the public, as a foundation for the coming social and climate credit system. Using a project like Climate TRACE to target individual cars, homes, or small businesses for whatever climate offenses these technocrats deem to be greatest, does not seem far off. The social credit system, already implemented in China, relies on mass surveillance of the population to punish or reward their citizens based on their behaviors. Offenses against the authoritarian regime, through the social credit system, result in restrictions of access to traveling, working, or buying a home. Public fears that mass surveillance tools, like Climate TRACE, would be used by governments to implement a social and climate credit system are justified. Corporations, like Alibaba Group, operating in China are pressured, by law, to provide their data collection to the CCP. At the WEF 2022 Annual Meeting, Alibaba Group president, J. Michael Evens, bragged about the company’s development of an “individual carbon footprint tracker,” which has the ability to track everything consumers buy, eat, as well as where and how they travel. Of course, Evans failed to mention if this information would be shared with the Chinese government or if the information would be used as part of their social credit system. The fairly new Climate TRACE coalition, which was launched in July of 2020, has set ambitious goals of tracking and tracing emission sources and reporting on “not just national subsector estimates, but ‘asset-level’ data: individual power plants, factories, ships, planes, farms, and so on all around the world.” Their use of the phrase “and so on,” in this statement isn’t reassuring, as it implies an intent to eventually narrow-in on tracking emissions at the individual level. Climate TRACE brags that their development of this machine-learning approach to trace emissions is “constantly evolving, improving and collecting more data,” allowing it to “get more and more detailed over time.” It seems it’s only a matter of time before Climate TRACE moves their focus of tracking individual planes and farms to tracing the emissions of our individual cars, homes, and small businesses. When asked what Climate TRACE will do with all the data they collect, Gore joked, “Publish it. We’re not the climate cops. We’re maybe the neighborhood watch, but our neighborhood is the whole world.” The thought of ‘climate cops’ using this data as a framework for building a social and climate credit system is no joking matter. While in Glasgow for the 2021 UN Climate Change Conference, known as COP26, Al Gore elaborated on the function of this Climate TRACE coalition to hold entities and individuals accountable for climate offenses, stating, “We can now accurately determine where the greenhouse gas emissions are coming from…and we’ll have the identities of the people who are responsible for each of those greenhouse gas emission streams, and if investors, or governments, or civil society activists want to hold them responsible, they will have the information upon which to base their action in holding them responsible.” Climate TRACE Funders, Members, Partners & Contributors One glance at the funders of this project, reveals that Climate TRACE and their financial backers are unworthy of the public’s trust. Climate TRACE funders include Google, Schmidt Futures, Al Gore, Benificus Foundation, and the partners of Generation Investment Management. Google has a history of surveilling customers, tracking location data, and misleading users about their privacy protections since 2014, and attorneys general in multiple states have filed lawsuits against the Big Tech giant. Former Google CEO and founder of Schmidt Futures, Eric Schmidt, has been accused recently of providing financial incentives to staffers of Biden’s Office of Science and Technology policy, to shape policy that, “benefited…himself.” Schmidt has also been described as reinventing “himself as the prime liaison between Silicon Valley and the military-industrial complex,” due to conflicts of interest for intermingling work with Google and the Pentagon. Benificus Foundation is the family foundation of John and Ann Doerr. John Doerr is a member of Breakthrough Energy Coalition, a fund backed by some of the biggest technocrats in the world, including Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Richard Branson, and George Soros, dumping millions into the junk science climate hoax. Generation Investment Management is a “climate-focused hedge fund” founded by Al Gore and David Blood, former CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management. Their holdings include investments in Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Alibaba Group. David Blood and Larry Fink are both part of the Principals Group of Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ), leading the financial industry to fundamentally transform the global economy through ESG initiatives, by uniting “net-zero financial sector-specific alliances from across the globe into one industry-wide strategic alliance.” Members, partners and contributors to the Climate TRACE coalition include Blue Sky Analytics, Earthrise, Hypervine, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Ocean Mind, Rocky Mountain Institute, Transition Zero, WattTime, and Carbon Plan. Blue Sky Analytics’ lead investor is the World Bank’s International Finance Corporation, and the World Bank wants to hold ‘climate actors’ accountable using verifiable credentials and blockchain, of course. Earthrise Alliance is the brainchild of former NASA Deputy Administrator, Lori Garver, who served as a lead space policy advisor for Obama, Hillary, and John Kerry. Earthrise is trademarked by the Winward Fund, which is managed by the billion dollar “dark money” network, Arabella Advisors. Hypervine is a “Glasgow-based start-up” co-funded by the European Space Agency (ESA), designed to use blockchain and satellite data, and has been promoted by Cemex. Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory “supports the Department of Defense (DoD) and a wide array of U.S. government agencies,” on missions “ranging from cyber operations to homeland protection and strategic security, and…national health.” In response to Covid-19, Johns Hopkins APL has developed AI for “health surveillance data,” as well as electronic disease surveillance systems and bio-surveillance. Johns Hopkins APL has contributed research to Climate TRACE by providing data on “road-transport emissions” using satellite imagery. Ocean Mind uses satellites and AI to power “enforcement and compliance,” to protect the world’s oceans, and has partnered with Microsoft after receiving their “AI for Earth” grant. Rocky Mountain Institute merged with Richard Branson’s Carbon War Room and has deep connections to the U.S. Department of Energy going back to the Obama Administration. TransitionZero is funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, Google and Quadrature Climate Foundation, and their CEO is a member of the World Economic Forum. The lead investor of WattTime is Google and they partner with Rocky Mountain Institute and Microsoft. Carbon Plan receives donations from the co-founder of Google, through the Sergey Brin Family Foundation, as well as the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. They’ve also received project-specific funding from NASA and Microsoft, as well as computer credits from Amazon and Microsoft. The list of members, partners and contributors to the Climate TRACE coalition goes on, but as you can see, the project is supported by a who’s who of technocratic globalists with deep pockets. Climate TRACE is merely one piece of the puzzle in their technocratic plans to implement a global surveillance and control system, as clearly outlined in Corey’s Digs’ 4-part report entitled, ‘Global Landscape on Vaccine ID Passports.’The post Climate TRACE: A Framework for ESG Initiatives and Social & Climate Credit System appeared first on coreysdigs.com.
