James Corbett – If you read these pages then you already know all about the war on cash that is being waged by central banks the world over. From Argentina to Zimbabwe and everywhere in between that dirty, rotten paper money (you know, that icky cash that people can use to exchange goods outside the purview of the government and other horrifying agorist ideas) has been under siege by governments and central banks.
In fact, you may have noticed that just in the past month the EU took another bold step in that direction with the European Commission announcing a new “roadmap” for “the fight against terrorism” that just happens to include “potential upper limits to cash payments.”
Heck, one of the keynote speeches at Davos this year was all about how the world needs to get rid of paper currency.
Perhaps sensing that its championship title for “most invasive nanny-state government” was on the line, the Chinese government has gone several steps further: Late last month China announced that the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has successfully completed its digital currency trial run. China is ready to switch to a digital currency.
This is not a surprise to those who have been paying attention.
Bix Weir – The war for our freedom continues to go on in the background as the Sheeple go about their everyday life totally blind to what’s about to happen. China announced a new oil contract that will be valued in Yuan and not the US Dollar…and another chemical plant blows sky high in China.
SGT Report – What may go down as the biggest geopolitical false flag event since 9/11, the Tianjin, China explosions will remain a critical topic of conversation for some time because the Chinese government still cannot determine what caused the blast the melted more than 8,000 cars, multiple buildings and the deaths of more than 110 people, with 90 still missing and presumed dead. Bill Holter asks the question we have all been thinking, was it a tactical nuclear strike? Coming just a day or two after China’s devaluation of the Yuan, was the horrific blast which left a 3 acre crater in its path, as sign of what’s to come if China fully abandons the Dollar? It is rapidly becoming clear that something unconventional happened in Tianjin – which leads to the inevitable question: Has the monetary war gone nuclear?
