Trump, his administration, and his Silicon Valley buddies are not civil libertarians. From Catherine Austin Fitts at solarireport.substack.com:
Introduction
A digital control grid is an electronic network of digital telecommunication and information systems that allows individuals to be surveilled, tracked, and made subject to invasive controls applied to their financial transactions and resource use (such as electricity, food, water, transportation)—compromising, if not ending, all human rights and liberties. Control grids operate with significant data collection and AI to apply social credit systems that can be dictated on a highly centralized basis. A digital control grid ends financial freedom, replacing markets with technocracy—a system run by rules created and maintained centrally by “experts.”
Is the Trump Administration building a digital control grid? We provide the following checklist to assess the steps the Administration is (and is not) taking in a variety of areas to facilitate a rapid control grid build-out. We invite subscribers to post suggestions in the Comments section below.
Money
Summary: An all-digital currency and monetary system is essential to institute a digital control grid.
The GENIUS Act
There is support for legislation to create digital stablecoin infrastructure. Presumably, this can be used to create a programmable money system in both the U.S. and globally—in essence, a private CBDC.
White House AI & Crypto Czar
The White House created a position to coordinate policy on AI and crypto.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
The new SEC Commissioner is a crypto lobbyist; all indications point to a reversal of policies related to crypto.
