Dear Editor:

The worship of money has always been the alternative to faith in God.

And so, it is now faith in material goods and resources – the kind of things you can obtain or secure with money – that matters most in our postmodern corporate world. That is why Biden’s handlers are pushing America toward Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), unquestionably the key to eliminating the political inconvenience of individual freedom in America and the West. 

In Biden’s proposed plan, the federal government would replace paper and coin money with purely digital money – all under complete government control. Overnight, you would become dependent on the federal government’s ATM for every penny you possess, and try to spend. Imagine the Chinese Communist Party's Social Credit System, and Canadian PM Trudeau’s arbitrary freezing of the bank accounts of truckers protesting his Covid mandates, all rolled up into one big brother controlling everything you do.

What could possibly go wrong, you ask? Looking at a non-electric SUV? Forget it. Purchasing a firearm or ammunition? Does a night in jail appeal? Buying from a company not on the government’s “approved” list? Sorry.

Astonishingly, the whole world could become one big totalitarian state in just a few years, thanks entirely to ultra-modern digital technology combined with the age-old love of money.

Incidentally, don’t bother contacting your elected representatives regarding your future. The collective forces now in play have become far more powerful than any individual politician ever was. Your government is taking over your life.
