Don’t underestimate human spirit and ingenuity. People will preserve wealth by spending soon to expire CBDC credits on goods which can be stored then easily bartered at a later date. Things like dried/tinned food, chocolate, alcohol, cigarettes, razors, soap/cleaning products or maybe even PMs all have a long storage life and can be easily swapped for other goods/services at a later date.

You lost your bitcoins when your internet went down.

Know we know Kier starmers agenda for more local governance. That's what his new proposals are - I suspect this being a pilot scheme. Oxford currently is a Labour seat can you see the pattern here?

 

Sounds like a return to the feudal system created by William I in England after he became king.

It is very true and it will happen throughout the world. If you read the road map document on CBDCs produced by the EU, it specifically refers to this. Also describes the mechanisms by which they control what you spend your money on. Also look at the Oxford and Canterbury 15 minute neighbourhoods. Control over what you do and where you go.

Mate these ideals they are pushing are sick, we will have a wealth apartheid.  The masses will not act quick enough to push back…..it’s taken some 25-30 years to workout wages are not keeping up with real world inflation, only now when they can’t afford a pizza at the end of the week they are crying for more money.  It will be the same for the CBDC they will welcome it with open arms and once they realise in another 20-30 years down the line they are trapped by the system it will be far too late.

All you can do is to look after you and yours as best you can. That will include defending your good selves. If you have food and others don't then God help you (and me).

It’s going to be absolute carnage in the cities. An average street has hundreds of people living on it. Large cities have thousands of streets, and about a thousand cities and towns in the U.K. I pray things don’t get that bad. If they do, we’re all in big trouble.

I don't know much about bitcoin but even that seems much better than the dystopian CBDCs. Still would rather keep cash alive though.

At a time when the world is fast approaching a period of expected mass food shortages the Netherlands is about to forcibly close 3,000 farms and the UK and US governments are paying farmers to actually stop growing food.

Are they are deliberately trying to starve us?

Yes…..but by stealth, just like fuel poverty there will be a lot of old a sick dying prematurely and needlessly and it will be blamed on natural causes or “underlying health conditions”.

Not just that, I have a serious issue with all the cameras installed everywhere, both speed and monitoring, as they are linked to ANPR and they are essentially a tracking tool, they can know where you are in every moment.

Friend of mine watches this tv program where they follow a police corp in their arrests, I think it's Yorkshire police, I've watched the odd episode while visiting him, I recall in one that the they were after someone and had his registration, all they did was to punch in the numbers and wait for a notification to arrive, if the guy entered the motorway anywhere they would know. With A roads being widened they are now subject to the same amount of control, that means that once you leave the house and hit a motorway or most dual carriageways they know where you are, and I don't like this invasion in my privacy.

There are many aspects. First of all, a weak population won't have the energy to think about revolting, as long as they have enough to survive they are subdued. There is also the aspect of diseases caused primarily by the nutrition they are imposing, they make us ill so that we feel that we NEED socialised healthcare.

But most of all, how do you enslave a state? You take away its ability to be self sufficient, so that now MUST be dependant on outside sources.

This is the real aim of the Green policies, this is the same as the energy crisis, we have a crisis because we have shut down our own power plants. They are nothing but Soviet propaganda out of control, they wanted to destroy the West and the irony is that the Soviet state failed, but the plan went ahead as the useful idiots pushed it all the same and the remaining Socialist entities are enoying the results. China is importing American beef to export plant based meat which is done essentially from waste products.

There's plenty of meat out there in the wild. Rabbits, pheasants, pigeons etc. The key to success is to go low tech and old school.

They never expect that.

I have seen whole families fishing in the Regents Canal in East London before 7am on my way to work.

Which is why they want people in cities, because people in cities don't do that and easier to control.

I’ve started growing my own fruit and veg this year. It’s quite a fun hobby actually, I’m rather enjoying it.

Another thing that I’ve started doing is getting to know my local farmers and buying food directly from them instead of at the supermarkets. I live near the countryside so I already knew a couple of them a bit but now I chat to them regularly and am getting to know them better. It’s nice to support farmers at the moment while the supermarkets and government are ripping them off and being on a friendly first name basis with them might come in handy when the food shortages come next winter...

If everyone started hunting like that how long would it be before there was nothing left?

I never said everyone though. Just those of us switched on enough to know what's going on. The vast majority of the population are sheep - pack animals, follow the herd. I sir, am a cat. I do my own thing, in my own way.
