Usha Chilukuri Vance, the wife of Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, quit her job as a corporate litigator at DNC-affiliated Munger, Tolles & Olson, within minutes of hearing that JD had been selected as President Trump’s Vice-President nominee and running mate. Usha Vance worked in Washington DC for the firm.
SAN FRANCISCO – […] Usha Vance confirmed that she will be stepping aside in a separate statement to SFGATE.
“In light of today’s news, I have resigned from my position at Munger, Tolles & Olson to focus on caring for our family,” she said. “I am forever grateful for the opportunities I’ve had at Munger and for the excellent colleagues and friends I’ve worked with over the years.”
[…] Usha worked as a litigator in the firm’s San Francisco and Washington, D.C., offices, where her practice mainly dealt with “complex litigation and appeals in a wide variety of sectors, including higher education, local government, entertainment, and technology, including semiconductors.” It also stated that she lives in Cincinnati with her husband and three children.

According to India Today – “JD Vance, who was once a Trump critic, said he had the full support of his Indian-origin wife, Usha Chilukuri Vance, who was present at the convention.
[…] Usha attended Yale Law School, where she met her future husband, JD Vance, in 2013. They worked together to organise a discussion group on the subject of “social decline in white America”, The New York Times reported.
The two quickly bonded soon after, with JD Vance often referring to Usha as his “Yale spirit guide”. They got married in 2014 after graduating from Yale Law School.
Usha holds a BA in history from Yale University and an MPhil in early modern history from the University of Cambridge.
During her time at Yale, Usha served as the executive development editor of the Yale Law Journal and managing editor of the Yale Journal of Law and Technology. She participated in the Supreme Court Advocacy Clinic, the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic and the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project, people.com reported.
JD Vance and Usha have had three children since their marriage in 2014 — two sons, Ewan and Vivek, and a daughter, Mirabel.
Usha has been instrumental in her husband’s political journey, often accompanying him to political events and providing guidance and support.
She has been involved in her husband’s political campaigns, including his successful Senate campaigns in 2016 and 2022. She has also been registered to vote as a Republican in Ohio since 2018. JD Vance has publicly acknowledged her influence, expressing gratitude for her role in shaping his decisions and opportunities. (read more)
JD Vance will likely lead the transition team for President Donald Trump, and it will be very useful for him to have Usha Chilukuri Vance beside him to help staff some of the more important legal positions around the office of the presidency.
From the descriptions of her legal endeavors in/around Washington DC, Usha Vance, likely knows some of the best legal minds available.
In fitting with the theme of the nomination, another San Francisco lawyer, Harmeet Dhillon, closed the night at the RNC with a Sikh prayer. WATCH:

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White has been a friend with Donald Trump for over 25 years. When no one believed in the UFC sport, Donald Trump stood with Dana White and used his hotels as venues for the UFC events. They have been close friends ever since.
In this interview Dana White talks about his reaction to the assassination attempt and then an immediate phone call with President Trump after he arrived from the hospital. It’s a little salty. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:

At the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Former President Trump announced Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his running mate Monday, as the party formally chose Trump as its presidential nominee. RNC Livestream Below
Cliff Notes – On the upside JD Vance brings with him the full support of Silicon Valley and unites the various social media clans and venture capitalists (Musk, Ackerman, Thiel, etc.). This means a big boost to the financial position of the Trump campaign, support from half the banking community, and also the absence of internet protocols that would restrict or oppose his 2024 campaign platform.
Additionally, on a geopolitical level, Vance will be unlikely to interfere too much on the global peace initiative; that’s important. Also, Vance will likely not interfere too much with MAGAnomic policy other than oppose tariffs that align against the aforementioned Vance benefactors. JD Vance was heavily pushed by Donald Trump Jr.
On the downside the ‘never trust a Never-Trumper’ axiom was never more true than it is today. The IC-aligned DHS network behind JD Vance opens a Trump administration to the scorpions within the deepest part of the intelligence apparatus. We can easily predict the decade of 2030-2040 now that JD Vance has been selected. The IC silos will predictably go dormant now as things settle in with Vance, at least for a while. I’ll have much more on these granular aspects in days and weeks to come.
This selection also guarantees a prominent position for Vivek Ramaswamy in the cabinet.
President Donald Trump is scheduled to make the announcement of his 2024 Vice-President pick today. His running mate will be announced shortly.
This is one of the most consequential decisions of the 2024 campaign and the anticipation is extreme.
Everyone has their favorite, and there are many possibilities. We all watch together.

During the NATO summit in DC Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said, “at today’s NATO Summit, I will reaffirm that Hungary will not participate in the NATO-Ukraine mission, but we will continue to meet our objectives in the development of Hungarian defense capabilities, thus strengthening our Alliance.”
Orban has been traveling the globe, establishing a coalition of partners and setting up the baseline for a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. However, the U.S. Intelligence Community and all those downstream politicians who work at the behest of the global crisis agents, are not happy about the peace strategy at all.
PM Orban went to Ukraine to speak to President Zelenskyy, then went to Russia to speak to President Putin, then went to China to speak to Chairman Xi, then headed to Washington DC to meet with President Biden, then last night went to see the key that would bring it all together, President Donald Trump.
Orban then Tweeted a video saying, “We continued the peace mission in Mar-a-Lago. President @realDonaldTrump has proved during his presidency that he is a man of peace. He will do it again!” The collective UniParty inside Washington DC is having absolute fits about it.
It’s not just Joe Biden and the current administration who are apoplectic about Prime Minister Orban’s peace effort. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is furious and vowing to stamp out the ideology of the Republican network who dare challenge the current geopolitical efforts.
The republican senator from Kentucky said defending the blood-soaked efforts of the New World Order is his priority. “This is going to be my top priority. No question about it,” McConnell said in an interview this week. McConnell added that he might even start to hold court with reporters in the halls of the Senate. “This is the most important thing going on in the world right now,” the Kentucky Republican said.” [LINK]
Mitch McConnell is furious about the efforts to bring about a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine and he is vowing to confront any Republican who doesn’t acquiesce to the foreign policy program of the UniParty. McConnell’s intents are in full support of the U.S. Intelligence Community and the Biden administration. However, McConnell has an ally in Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson.
As noted, “Speaker Mike Johnson, who held up Ukraine aid for months despite public pressure from McConnell, is now starting to sound a lot like the Kentucky Republican when talking about national security, especially Ukraine.” For Speaker Johnson, Zelenskyy’s ability to maintain access to the U.S. treasury is a top priority. The money must keep flowing in order to keep the conflict alive.
The people in most nations of Europe are part of a much larger group of nations who would prefer peace between Russia and Ukraine. However, the NATO alliance has promised to maintain the conflict at all costs, including the introduction of new military equipment intended to prolong the battles.
Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers, and countless mercenaries sent by allies, have reportedly been killed in America’s European proxy province, and the DC benefactors of the conflict are prepared to fight to the last of them. President Orban’s pesky interference and talk of peace is not a welcome addition to the intents and purposes of the proverbial West; or to Blackrock, Wall Street or the bankers who ultimately benefit from war.
According to what seems like ordinary logic, Russia has secured the buffer zone they wanted in eastern Ukraine, while the bayonets behind the Ukrainian soldiers being pushed into the meatgrinder are held by team USA.
Washington DC fears that if Donald Trump wins in November, they will lose their ability to push NATO into war.
Meanwhile, PM Viktor Orban continues his mission for peace!

I’m glad I waited before sharing the following analysis because I’m not as concerned today as I was when I originally read the Guardian article. Yesterday, The Guardian reported that Donald Trump Jr would be introducing the VP nominee at the RNC convention. According to them, that could indicate a strong likelihood of JD Vance as the nominee. That would be horrible.
However, what’s really happening is that Don Jr’s speech and intro is really just talking before the VP nominee makes his/her remarks. The VP will be announced days before the convention itself; so, it’s a sequencing thing. Maybe not JD Vance, and that’s a good thing.
There is, however, an unfortunate aspect to the articles predictions that is currently surfacing all over the media.
The top 3 finalists, according to a bazillion clickbait articles, are JD Vance, Marco Rubio and Doug Burgum. I have tried to stay away from the VP discussion because, well, it’s basically a clickbait conversation. Also, because if Donald Trump has not made up his mind months ago, then we are in more trouble than just the worry of a VP who might impede swamp draining.
If I have any accurate arrows of faith or pragmatic hope left in my quiver, then I am correct in thinking that Donald Trump made this decision a long time ago, and the Vice President nominee has long known exactly what the plan is. If my “begin with the end in mind” thinking is incorrect; well, then we’re in bigger trouble than 99% of MAGA Americans can fathom.
Having said that, I hope none of the aforementioned names are accurate, because the very specific and current attributes we need for what is going to be a 15-year generational effort in our Constitutional Republic are not held by either Vance, Burgum or certainly not Rubio.
Every consideration of the VP selection MUST pass through the prism of knowing who the malevolent enemy we are facing truly is, the Intelligence Community, the Fourth Branch of Government.
If President Trump hasn’t/doesn’t game out every step with a thorough and comprehensive understanding of who the enemy is, then the problem will never be solved.
The dangerous Intelligence Community (IC) to be faced is Six Eyes, not Five, with one historically never discussed.
Worse still, they just launched the Seventh Eye in anticipation of Trump winning in November.
Yes, that’s correct. At the same non-accidental time the IC decided Joe Biden was their least hopeful option, an actual risk – which was additionally triggered by the recent SCOTUS ruling, the global IC power structure launched a proactive Seventh Eye {SEE HERE} for the purpose of attacking the risk Trump represents and defending themselves. [Now do you see why I have spent the past eight months physically crisscrossing their network?]
A true ‘begin with the end in mind’ approach to deconstructing this domestic and geopolitical mess, which is to say an honest perspective about the root cause of our metastatic symptoms, requires admitting to ourselves that any VP nomination to stand beside President Trump must come with a specific set of traits.
From that perspective to find who is best, we must consider who has the least amount of attack vectors the enemy can exploit. That approach disqualifies Burgum, Vance and most certainly Rubio.
An attack vector is a vulnerability for the IC to exploit. An attack vector can be preexisting, or it can simply be a place where pressure applied creates a vulnerability.
The greater the attack vector potential of the individual, the more distant from the center (the office of the presidency) the person must be. The greater the attack vector potential, the less importance on the tasks assigned. This doesn’t mean people with attack vectors should be disqualified from operations, it only means you consider the vulnerability up front and don’t assign them to critical or high-priority functions.
A 2016 example of a person loaded with inherent attack vectors -as an outcome of personality, disposition and inherent life- was Nikki Haley. Dispatching Haley to the irrelevant United Nations was perfect. The bonus within the move was Mrs. Haley thinking it would improve her resume’.
A 2016 example of a person loaded with inherent attack vectors that was put into the wrong place, was Michael Flynn. Factually, Flynn was hiding his financial arrangements with Turkey as an unregistered lobbyist. The IC knew that vulnerability as they watched him throughout the campaign. When Trump won the election and then soon after announced Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor, for the IC enemy that was awesome news. That’s how attack vectors are exploited, and Trump suffered the damage.
Attack Vectors should be the primary prism that determines placement. Attack vectors can also be mitigated and diffused with brutal honesty and sunlight upon secrets. The threat within attack vectors increases in direct proportion to the lies that hide them.
JD Vance with a solid Yale curriculum vitae, was a rabid Never Trumper, until something in his life timeline happened simultaneously to his financial benefactor billionaire Peter Theil becoming an FBI informant.
[Putting aside the Theil and Vance direct connection to Vivek Ramaswamy for a moment] Peter Theil becomes aligned with the FBI and suddenly the guy getting Theil’s money for politics, has nothing but praise for Donald Trump.
Trust your instincts.
Remember when I said the 2015 operation for Jeb Bush was going to involve a massive vote splitting operation, because the people organizing Jeb could only affirm about 20% of the base vote in the primary? Well?…
In 2016 I said they would need more than a dozen to pull off the Jeb operation; they brought 14. The republican nominee who won was the last man to enter, #15, the one they did not control. That is not accidental.
Remember back in 2019 when I said ballots were more important than votes and Trump needed to ditch Ronna McDaniel and hire Catherine Englebrecht as RNC chair with a major sense of urgency. Well?…
Remember when I said, “watch out” in 2022 because the same Sea Island network active in 2015 and 2020 was organizing a conservative voice influence operation for DeSantis in 2024, because I could see all the hallmarks of conservatives being conscripted and paid for participating (their attack vector of vulnerability), and people angrily said I was nuts. Well?…
I’m not looking at the current landscape, I’m out here with a well-worn machete looking at where we are heading. And I’m telling you those same systems, voices and financial networks have deployed that same financial conscription effort for JD Vance.
This is not conspiracy theory, it’s simply what a select group of ideological and compromised billionaires do in response to their own attack vectors and vulnerabilities. Robert and Rebekah Mercer did it with Ted Cruz and duped millions. The current attack vector assisting in the positioning of Vance, an attack vector previously exploited by the IC in their creation of the Trump-Russia collusion nonsense, is the only guy in the Trump family that wears pink shirts.
Marco Rubio is easily one of the most compromised names on the “short list” with attack vectors going way back in his history including his compromise with the Kelly sisters around CENTCOM in Tampa, Florida. [LINK]
The same Lebanese based IC group who took out General Petraeus when he became a threat to them (Benghazi), and the same IC group who used the same zipper compromise against General John Allen [LINK] using the same network. Remember the ICs non-ISIS/ISIS campaign.
They have already compromised Rubio; it wasn’t hard.
Those background issues don’t even include Marco Rubio’s willful participation in the use of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) to attack the prior four years of the Trump administration through the use of the Trump-Russia nonsense.
Have you ever, even once, seen Vice Chairman Rubio cast even a side-eye of incredulity toward the malevolence of the U.S. intelligence apparatus. Of course you haven’t. He simply can’t do it; they own him.
Can a second President Trump term be successful with Rubio, Vance or Burgum? Of course it can; heck, we saw the success of Donald Trump even with Mike Pence constantly undermining him in the background.
Yes, the economy can thrive, global peace can return, the threat of a dollar-based central bank digital currency will diminish, domestic energy production and self-sufficiency will reemerge, and the lives and livelihoods of every American can improve in a second Trump term simply by the execution of pragmatic commonsense policy. That’s not what I am talking about.
If Trump picks a Rubio, Vance or Burgum type VP the Fourth Branch of Government simply goes into a period of static fermentation within the global swamp, simultaneously spewing toxic gas but not directly f**king with us. However, as soon as that 4-year term is over, they restart the process and the decade of the 30’s leaves us with less freedom, more restrictions and a bigger toxic system of Western government surveillance.
We need four years of furious sandblasting the bondo and paint from our Republic, before we can even begin to contemplate a restoration process in 2028, and that presidential nominee -the intermediate finisher- might not even be a person who is in politics right now. I trust President Trump to select that person based on the status of the restoration at the time that decision needs to be made.
What we need right now is a vice-presidential nominee who has the least amount of pre-existing or potential attack vectors that can be exploited by the IC.
The collective effort of the Western Intelligence apparatus over the next four-year Trump term, will be to keep the illusion of democracy in place, and stop people from seeing the cold, hard reality of the putrid rot beneath it.
We need a guiding hand, a faithful servant, who will calm the nerves of the American people, many of whom will see – perhaps for the first time, exactly how bad it has become. Because what we are going to witness in the next four-years is going to be very ugly.
As these malevolent entities are dragged into the sunlight and revealed, we also need a steadfast partner grounded in something far more valuable than popular prose or catch phrase linguistics.
While Trump is tearing it all apart, we need a guide, a partner, a steadfast centered voice that will help our Republic make shame great again.
.
Like I said, I hope this is all moot and the decision was made long ago.
Dr. Ben Carson does not come without attack vectors; however, to his credit he admits them. Heck, the IC previously used Dr Carson virtues against him, that’s why Ms. Cheney was guided to be his 2016 campaign manager. They want you to forget or not know that.
You see, what the IC does at its most evil level is to exploit virtue as a weapon. Love and trust are used against the target. Do you love your family, it’d be a shame if something happened to them. However, when you have faith, you understand that God also knows how evil works in this exploitation, that’s why He favored David.
I never expected to travel the world of a dollar-based central bank digital currency implementation. Two years ago, I was surprised by the construct of the Western sanctions against Russia; however, my curiosity was driven more by the outcome of the intended economic isolation, and not necessarily about the granular construct of the sanctions themselves.
What surprised me initially, was the conversation that never took place in the financial sector. For the first time in history the U.S Dollar was being used as a weapon, not only against Russia, but against any Western corporation who did not comply with the demands of the U.S government. I began highlighting the issue MARCH 5, 2022.
March 27, 2022 – within the interview [05:44 prompted], Senator Warner outlines the western approach toward Russia using cryptocurrency as a method to evade sanctions. Notably, Warner outlines that U.S. intelligence/U.S. Govt has control over U.S-based crypto exchanges and they are working with ‘partners’ in the financial sector to mitigate the use of crypto exchanges by non-U.S. actors. WATCH:
Previously I shared, the sanctions against Russia were unlike any set of sanctions that came before. The financial sanctions against Iran, Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela all stood as examples of prior economic sanction constructs, but the financial sanctions against Russia were different. The SWIFT exchange was shut down, Western trade into Russia was halted, and private Western corporations were forced to divest themselves of assets held within Russia.
Under the guise of “economically isolating Russia”, the sanction regime was driven by the U.S. Treasury, U.S. State Dept., and fully supported by Western allies in Europe, Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. Each of the aforementioned nations followed the exact same path.
Given the history of the prior decade, where Russia enlarged its footprint of influence, the sanction regime just did not make sense. It was obvious that non-Western nations would continue trading with Russia, and most of those same non-Western nations were trading with the USA. My simple question was, “won’t alternate countries just step in to fill the void of trade eliminated by the sanctions?”
If, for example, India is still buying widgets from the Western zone, wouldn’t an enterprising Indian company just start buying extra widgets from the USA, Canada or Europe and then begin brokering a portion of those products into Russia? It seemed like common sense, and indeed that type of exchange is exactly what happened.
On the ground, in Russia, there are now Western stores missing, but the Western products are still available under different Russian flagship names. Starbucks closed, and now as you can see from above, it’s Stars Coffee. Same coffee, tables, chairs, cups, and even employees, just a different name. Starbucks, and every other Western company was forced to divest, sell assets at fire sale prices, and exit the market.
All the following companies did the same.
Despite all the parent companies leaving, their retail products are still available through a system of brokered buying and distribution. Third-party companies simply stepped in to fill the void. You can still buy the newest Samsung TVs and Apple iPhones in Russia, but now they come with a slightly higher price, as the broker adds their markup.
On the financial side, the inability to work in dollars or Euros was initially a problem, but workarounds were fast to surface {SEE HERE}.
What I soon realized, in my research, was that essentially nothing changed for the ordinary people within Russia, other than some “branded items” were no longer available. Factually, most Russian people didn’t care, and a large percentage are oblivious to the sanction issue. The sentiment of nationalism or national pride actually increased; they rallied around their leadership.
Two years later, the economy is doing well, Russia is selling energy to nations who have a need, trade is taking place in non-dollar denominations, and the impact is, well, really not much.
However, once you realize the sanctions never had any material impact, then the question is why it was so important to weaponize the dollar-based trade currency? Surely other nations would now look at their dollar dependency as a potential risk because they too could become a target if the USG made that arbitrary decision.
That’s exactly what happened, and is a big part of the non-Western zone drive to join the antifragile BRICS+ trade alliance.
So, with all these downsides, why did the U.S. do these specific sanctions this way?
When I dug deep into this issue, I realized the financial walls were not created to keep Russia out of the financial system; the walls were erected in the Western zone to keep the dollar-based system locked-in.
ME: …”The same way the Patriot Act was not designed to stop terrorism but rather to create a domestic surveillance system. So too were the “Russian Sanctions” not designed to sanction Russia, but rather to create the financial control system that will lead to a USA digital currency. The Western sanctions created a financial wall around the USA (dollar-based west), not to keep Russia out, but to keep us in. The Western sanction regime, the financial mechanisms they created and authorized, created the control gate that leads to a U.S. digital currency.” (more)
LARRY FINK in 2022 – NEW YORK, March 24 (Reuters) – BlackRock Inc’s (BLK.N) chief executive, Larry Fink, said on Thursday that the Russia-Ukraine war could end up accelerating digital currencies as a tool to settle international transactions, as the conflict upends the globalization drive of the last three decades.
In a letter to the shareholders of the world’s largest asset manager, Fink said the war will push countries to reassess currency dependencies, and that BlackRock was studying digital currencies and stablecoins due to increased client interest.
“A global digital payment system, thoughtfully designed, can enhance the settlement of international transactions while reducing the risk of money laundering and corruption”, he said.
[…] In the letter on Thursday, the chairman and CEO of the $10 trillion asset manager said the Russia-Ukraine crisis had put an end to the globalization forces at work over the past 30 years.
[…] “While companies’ and consumers’ balance sheets are strong today, giving them more of a cushion to weather these difficulties, a large-scale reorientation of supply chains will inherently be inflationary,” said Fink.
He said central banks were dealing with a dilemma they had not faced in decades, having to choose between living with high inflation or slowing economic activity to contain price pressures. (read more)
(Reuters) – Global bank messaging network SWIFT is planning a new platform in the next one to two years to connect the wave of central bank digital currencies now in development to the existing finance system, it has told Reuters.
The move, which would be one of the most significant yet for the nascent CBDC ecosystem given SWIFT’s key role in global banking, is likely to be fine-tuned to when the first major ones are launched.
Around 90% of the world’s central banks are now exploring digital versions of their currencies. Most don’t want to be left behind by bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, but are grappling with technological complexities.
SWIFT’s head of innovation, Nick Kerigan, said its latest trial, which took 6 months and involved a 38-member group of central banks, commercial banks and settlement platforms, had been one of the largest global collaborations on CBDCs and “tokenised” assets to date.
“We are looking at a roadmap to productize (launch as a product) in the next 12-24 months,” Kerigan said in an interview. “It’s moving out of experimental stage towards something that is becoming a reality.”
Although the timeframe could still shift if major economy CBDC launches get delayed, getting out the blocks for when they do would be a major boost for maintaining SWIFT’s incumbent dominance in the bank-to-bank plumbing network.
[…] A raft of heavyweight commercial banks including HSBC, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale, Standard Chartered and the CLS FX settlement platform all took part too, as did at least two banks from China.
The idea is that once the interlink solution is scaled-up, banks would have one main global connection point able to handle digital asset payments, rather than thousands if they were to set up an individual one with every counterparty. (read more)
ALSO In 2022 – [White House] – President Biden often summarizes his vision for America in one word: Possibilities. A “digital dollar” may seem far-fetched, but modern technology could make it a real possibility.
A United States central bank digital currency (CBDC) would be a digital form of the U.S. dollar. While the U.S. has not yet decided whether it will pursue a CBDC, the U.S. has been closely examining the implications of, and options for, issuing a CBDC. If the U.S. pursued a CBDC, there could be many possible benefits, such as facilitating efficient and low-cost transactions, fostering greater access to the financial system, boosting economic growth, and supporting the continued centrality of the U.S. within the international financial system. However, a U.S. CBDC could also introduce a variety of risks, as it might affect everything ranging from the stability of the financial system to the protection of sensitive data.
Notably, these benefits and risks might vary significantly based on how the CBDC system is designed and deployed. That is why Executive Order 14067, Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets, placed the highest urgency on research and development efforts into the potential design and deployment options of a U.S. CBDC. The Executive Order directed the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), in consultation with other Federal departments and agencies, to submit to the President a technical evaluation for a potential U.S. CBDC system.
Today, OSTP is publishing its report, Technical Evaluation for a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency System, which lays out policy objectives for a potential U.S. CBDC system and analyzes key technical design choices for a U.S. CBDC system. The report also estimates the technical feasibility of building a CBDC minimum viable product and describes how a U.S. CBDC system might affect Federal operations. The report makes recommendations on how to prepare the Federal Government for a U.S. CBDC system. Importantly, the report does not make any assessments or recommendations about whether the U.S. should pursue a CBDC, nor does it make any decisions regarding particular design choices for a potential U.S. CBDC system.

A digital dollar creates a unique id attached to that digital dollar. Ultimately, the central bank that issues the digital dollar controls what the digital id can do (that’s you), and what those digital dollars can be used for (what you can do).
Digital dollars can be blocked from gun purchases, and digital ids can be used to stop unapproved users from purchasing guns – or a gas guzzling suv, or a house that’s too big, or the non-compliant fridge, or whatever.
Sellers of goods (or information) can have their ids banned from receiving digital dollars, just as VISA and MasterCard blocked sellers of guns from accessing their electronic transaction system. With digital dollars, “demonetization”, an alarmingly familiar modern term, can become a function of a financial regulation system. “Debanking” another alarmingly familiar term, also becomes much easier.
Ultimately, a dollar-based US-Central Bank Digital Currency, ie a “digital dollar,” is about control.
Every transaction has a unique digital fingerprint, and every digital dollar can be traced by the IRS to the digital id associated with it.
There is a BIG difference between electronic funds (current), and a digital dollar (future).
I believe President Trump is fully aligned with the concept of “financial freedom”…

Lots going on today. For those who thought that bygones would be bygones, well, you don’t have to worry about a Trump-Haley ticket. Heck, you don’t even have to worry about seeing Nikki Haley at the RNC convention, because she was not invited. These ‘PUMA desserts’ are just tasty [PUMA = party unity my ass].
Apparently, President Trump did not forget the entirety of the process from 2018 to 2024 that laid behind the curtain of Nikki Haley. {SEE HERE} Good news!
Personally, I hope this is a sign of much more intra-party confrontation still to come. Perhaps Haley can go play pickleball with Glenn Youngkin in her free time.
WASHINGTON DC – Former South Carolina Gov. NIKKI HALEY is releasing all of her 97 delegates and urging them to vote for DONALD TRUMP at next week’s Republican National Convention, our colleague Meridith McGraw reports.
“The nominating convention is a time for Republican unity,” Haley will say in a statement. “JOE BIDEN is not competent to serve a second term and KAMALA HARRIS would be a disaster for America. We need a president who will hold our enemies to account, secure our border, cut our debt, and get our economy back on track. I encourage my delegates to support Donald Trump next week in Milwaukee.”
Asked if Haley is attending the convention, Haley spox CHANEY DENTON said that Haley “was not invited, and she’s fine with that. Trump deserves the convention he wants. She’s made it clear she’s voting for him and wishes him the best.” (read more)

When Yugoslavia broke up, it did so along ethnic lines. This is why the West is waging World War II because they hate Russians when there is no difference here between Yugoslavia and Ukraine. The Donbas should have been allowed to separate, for that is the fundamental human right that the West is ignoring, claiming the sovereignty of Ukraine is paramount. They could have done the same with Yugoslavia and denied all the people any right to separate. The denial of human rights carried out by the West against the people of the Donbas simply because they are Russian will go down in history, but this time, they will be on the wrong side of history. The hatred of Russians is why there is this opposite policy for Ukraine compared to Yugoslavia.
The West negotiated in bad faith and deliberately set the stage for this war. Chancellor Merkel of Germany admitted that the Minsk Agreement with Russia was just to buy time for Ukraine to build an army to carry out the directions to start World War III so they all could default on their debts as they did after World War II.
Let’s face reality. This war has been orchestrated by the American Neocons led by Victoria Nuland, who instigated the 2014 Ukrainian Revolution and installed an interim government that was UNELECTED by the Ukrainian people, of which between 8 to 10 million have fled their own country because the United States and NATO are under the control of the Neocons who want war with Russia.
It was the American Neocons who instructed the UNELECTED Kiev government to attack the Russians in the Donbas and call them terrorists because they, too, wanted to separate from the Ukrainians who hate Russians and were killing them on the streets of Odesa.
The Ukrainians should be immediately cut off from all aid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. It was the Ukrainians who began killing Russians on the streets of Odessa and committed genocide, burning Russian civilians alive in 2014. That is what began the separatist movement in the Donbas.
I have documented evidence captured from Ukrainians who have crucified Russians and burned them alive. I have heard from numerous volunteer soldiers who have left Ukraine in horror for the war crimes they are carrying out, blessed by the West, knowing they will NEVER be prosecuted. Finally, even the New York Times has at last reported how they just murdered Russian soldiers who surrendered. There are even reports of killing Russian children and selling their body parts on the black market. Ukrainian in the USA is often part of the huge trade in weapons.
I have created this site to help people have fun in the kitchen. I write about enjoying life both in and out of my kitchen. Life is short! Make the most of it and enjoy!
