QUESTION #1: Is this ECASH bill an attempt to do an end-run around the Fed raising interest rates and preparing to default on debt

EM

QUESTION #2: Martin:
Congratulations on your “scoop” regarding ECASH, however…..you have done an extremely poor job of actually describing what it is…who will have it…will it be mandatory for everyone…what if anything it will change in regard to bank accounts, brokerage accounts,,,,daily transactions…etc…etc…etc! Is this going to be something that will immediately affect everyone’s life in a major way, or is it something that most of us can ignore, if we wish, at least for the foreseeable future?
ALSO…what are the odds of it actually being approved by the house and senate?
Thank you.

Set of Federal Reserve Notes issued by every branch

ANSWER: NO it’s not an end-run around the Fed with interest rates. It is terminating the Federal Reserve issue of paper money. The Fed will still be able to create electronic money buying in bonds etc as they do now. But they will not be issuing paper money so the question will be the next stage of how to actually cancel what is out there. They will NO LONGER be printing money from here on out once they shove this down the throats of the American people.

It is the en-run against economic freedom and forces everyone on the grid. So while Biden hurls insults at Putin for an autocracy, he is working hard to eliminate our freedom right here at home. Because you will ONLY be able to buy it from a bank account, by default, they will eliminate the cash economy and realize Elizabeth Warren’s wet dream – they will tax absolutely everything!

It is interesting how our economic freedom made America the #1 world economy and Warren turns to Schwab’s star economist on how to bring America down to its knees. The WEF goal is to end the United States as a superpower. I call that treason.

Warren’s adviser is not American – but the French Communist who lurks in the shadows. The World Economic Forum’s economic star celebrity – Thomas Pickety the French Economic Communist!

You will have to pay that 14-year-old girl next door for babysitting your kids with barter – chocolate bars, lipstick, cans of food, or just clothes on a shopping spree. It will be MANDATORY for everyone since the Fed will no longer be printing paper money. The only change to bank accounts is that they will eventually be required for everyone as Europe has already declared that it is a human right to have an account. Your bank accounts, brokerage accounts, and retirement accounts won’t change since they are already electronic book entries. That will be the WEALTH TAX in Biden’s separate bill. As far as daily transactions, in reality, you will be paying for something at a store the same but the cash will be like a Debit Card.

This will NOT be something that will immediately affect everyone’s life for it has to pass Congress. This is the time to start writing to every pretend representative we have. Come November, we really need REGIME CHANGE here in America in a major way but it is time to consider abandoning the Income Tax and moving to simply a retail sales tax to recapture our freedom. Then the “rich” will pay when they buy their $300 million yachts regardless if it is from a Trust, Foundation, Corporation, or personal Piggybank.

This will NOT be something that most of us can ignore if it gets passed. It will completely destroy our personal freedom. It is going to be a tough sell for all we need is just ONE Democrat to say NO. Otherwise, the Democratic Party will destroy our future and that of our children making sure that the United States will become just a footnote in the history books. That’s what will unfold for daring to follow Marxism just as communism fell officially on November 9th, 1989 (1989.85) with the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Guess what, 31.4 years from that collapse of Marxism, brings us to the rise of Marxism with the election of Joe Biden – 2021.25.

When Joe was practicing his speech in Poland, he was looking in the mirror saying:

“For God’s Sake, This Man Cannot Remain In Power”

The Democrats have declared war on the free markets and want to destroy the underground economy. If you are a bellman, get another job. This ends all tips unless it’s included in the tab, and when you have your mask on for the next manufactured pandemic, there will be no coins left for parking meters or vending machines.

Biden Cheat Sheet Shows How Team Behind White House Intended to Control His Cleanup


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 28, 2022

When Joe Biden appeared before the press corps today, the intent was to clean up the mess he created in his trip to NATO this past weekend.

When Biden makes policy statements and reads from the teleprompter, Joe Biden usually doesn’t answer questions.  Today was different.  Today, it was obvious the White House communication team needed Biden to clean up his NATO statements.

The evidence for that is very clear, as someone was able to capture a picture of the talking points that were prepared for him to read.  One pre-printed response even reads, “I was not articulating a change in policy.”

(New York Post) –  President Joe Biden once again referred to a printed cheat sheet as he doubled down on his unscripted weekend claim that Vladimir Putin “cannot remain in power.”

On Monday Biden, 79, told reporters he made “no apologies” for his remarks — made off the cuff and not part of his prepared speech in a nationally televised address from Poland Saturday — and did not view it as a provocation to Russia.

“It’s more an aspiration than anything. He shouldn’t be in power. There’s no  — I mean, people like this shouldn’t be ruling countries, but they do. The fact is they do, but it doesn’t mean I can’t express my outrage about it.”

His comments closely aligned with notes printed on a small piece of paper that he was photographed holding in his left hand as he spoke that began as follows (read more):

No one has yet provided a good explanation as to why the Biden administration has a stage set of the White House in a studio across the street from the real White House.

The specifics of this Potemkin administrations are opaque, but everyone knows that it’s not Joe Biden making policy or executing these communication points. Biden is a puppet, that is not in question. The majority of his administration staff are from the Obama terms in office; that too is not in question.

The people who were behind Obama appear to be the same people pushing this Biden agenda.

ECASH & Biden’s Attack on the Financial Markets


Posted originally Blog/The Hunt for Taxes Re-Posted Mar 28, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

I reported on the Private Blog that I had a copy of the legislation and I was told it would be introduced today – Monday 28th. That info was correct. Well, here it is!. Reps. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.), Jesús Chuy Garcia (D-Ill.), Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), all Democrats, have introduced the “Electronic Currency And Secure Hardware Act” (ECASH Act) that does far more than just creating a digital currency. This Act cleverly strips the Federal Reserve of its authority to create the money.  I wrote:

Next week there will be a bill introduced which will be entitled ECASH (Electronic Currency and Secure Hardware Act. This is in response to President Biden’s Executive Order on Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets to develop the digital dollar design, including assessments of financial inclusion, possible benefits and risks for consumers, existing payment systems, and national security.

ECASH is very clever for it is actually transferring the creation of the currency from the Federal Reserve to the US Treasury or in other words the White House. The Treasury will distribute DIRECTLY to the public via a secured hardware device which will be something along the lines of like a vending machine. All of those who have created conspiracy theories about banks that own the Fed will now have to switch their theories for the creation of money will now reside in the White House.

Here is the catch, it will be anonymous so it will not be trackable like Blockchain cryptos. People will cheer that, but there will be that infamous Catch 22. Individuals may be restricted to having a maximum of $2,000. That means all money will need to be deposited so it is a covert way of canceling the currency. But they are not dealing with that issue just yet. The end goal here is to force all money to be above board for the purposes of taxation. So it may actually result in creating more of a barter economy.

There will be no centralized ledger or distributed ledger for it will be non-traceable thereby better than crypto. It is to utilize secured hardware software and it’s issued by the Treasury which eliminates the Federal reserve putting the creation of money in the hands of the White House. They are clever for this will be fully anonymous transactions just like paper money today rather than Blockchains that are designed to track every transaction, which means the government can therefore tie every transaction to the sender and receiver.

This will not change the banking requirements of know-your-customer rules. The ECASH you will get via a bank account, peer-to-peer transaction. Thus, retail will not change from the currency acceptance of cash. The sales pitch is this will still serve people who are unable to hold bank accounts due to minimum balance requirements, or those who do not trust banks because banks may charge fees or freeze funds. However, what they are not telling the press is there will be limits so you can not move $1 billion to ECASH – try $2,000.

Simultaneously, Biden is introducing the “Billionaire Minimum Income Tax,” imposing a 20% minimum tax rate on U.S. households worth more than $100 million, even though they are not billionaires. The sales pitch is typically Marxist where the minimum tax would make sure that the wealthiest Americans no longer pay a tax rate “lower than teachers and firefighters.” To the Democrats, the problem is always the rich not that they spend more than they have and constantly bribe the public to pretend they are Santa Claus. They claim this will reduce the deficit by about $360 billion in the next decade. What they are NOT telling the people is this is Elizabeth Warren’s WEALTH TAX.

So anyone who pays less than 20% will have to “top-up payment” to meet the new minimum. However, the DANGER here is that “this new minimum tax will eliminate the ability for the unrealized income of ultra-high-net-worth households to go untaxed for decades or generations.”

That means if you own a company or even a house, and the CURRENT market value rises to whatever the IRS uses, guess what, you will have to pay 20% tax on the value of your stocks, company, or your home. This is the alternative to his attempt to track every $600 transaction to get those evil billionaires who they seem to define as everyone but themselves.

They used the same clever trick to get the income tax passed back in 1913. Only evil people who earned more than $3,000 a year would have to pay. Of course, $3,000 in 1913 was 150 $20 gold coins and that at $2,000 an ounce today is $300,000. So they pitched it as targeting the millionaires, but it came down to less than the millionaire just as they are doing today with the billionaires.

Just as now EVERYONE must file income tax or go to prison, the WEALTH TAX will also come down as they constantly need more money. So if your house doubled in value, you will have to pay 20% of that value to the IRS even if you did not sell it. And then, if it drops by 50% next year, you will NEVER get a refund.

So the hatred of anyone who has more than the lower homeless person is always on their agenda. They will continually change the definition of the rich until everyone who has a job is now the “privileged” rich.

During the Great Depression, this vile group who looks down upon society from above was defined as those who made $5 million. That collapsed to $250,000. The definition will ALWAYS be redefined to maximize their revenue whenever they need it.

Anyone who votes against it will be targeted as supporting Zuckerberg, Gates, etc. WEALTH TAX will destroy the foundation of America, end the benefits of investing for retirement, and serve as the final nail in the coffin of the United States.

Did the Globalists Just Flinch on Russian Sanctions in Order to Keep Control of Global Climate Change Goals?


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 28, 2022 

Something odd is happening in the background of the G7 energy ministers’ announcement earlier today.

Remember that moment {HERE} when Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland seemed really uncomfortable and weird at the presser – just 36 hours before the Trudeau administration announced they were going to drop the Emergency Act banking sanctions against the truckers? {Go Deep}

Here is an encapsulation of what’s weird, and you don’t have to be an expert in geopolitics and international trade to see it:

The G7 countries (including the U.S.) announced today they were demanding that Russia accept payment for oil and gas in euros and dollars.  This is happening at the same time NATO is demanding (via sanctions) that Russia be blocked from accepting payments in euros and dollars.

Something is weird.  Keep in mind, the same nations in the G7 are the same nations in NATO with the exception of Japan (G7 only).

The only way this conflict could make any sense, is if the G7 energy ministers realize that forcing Russia to trade in non-euros and non-dollars will structurally undermine the G7 unilateral hold of global finance and energy policy.   In essence, the G7 see the non-sanction countries, particularly India and China, lining up to replace the petro-dollar, and that not only weakens their position financially, but it also weakens their climate change position.

Saudi Arabia is not returning phone calls from the Biden administration, and the extended OPEC-plus are not following the sanctions regime of the western NATO alliance.  Which makes sense, because Opec+ includes Russia, and the geopolitical dynamic appears to have fractured around the energy sector, with the western alliance chasing renewable energy and the non-sanction countries staying on course with oil and gas.

The conflicting position toward Russia, insofar as the G7 demands they keep selling using euros/dollars while NATO demands Russia stop receiving euros/dollars, remains brutally stark.  It is a conflicting interest, within the same policies, within the same geopolitical group.

Behind the G7 and NATO, we know the multinational corporations assembled in the World Economic Forum are ultimately the driver of political policy. The central bankers, finance ministers and politicians all operate under the guidelines of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB) and World Trade Organization (WTO).

Together the WEF, IMF, WB, WTO, EU central banks and U.S. federal reserve, collectively represent what we call the globalists.  And the globalists are pushing the climate change agenda hard {WEF LINK}.

The conflicting position, with G7 energy ministers demanding Russia accept payments in Euros/Dollars, can only be reconciled if the globalist crew is worried about the fracturing we have previously discussed. {Go Deep}

However, if the globalist team only just now realized their sanctions have created a cleaving of the world energy trade system using dollars to pay for oil/gas purchases, and by extension this weakens their objective to force everyone to accept climate change objectives, they would be fools.

Something weird is going on here.  I’m not certain what it is, but I am confident something really odd is again happening in the background.

It is always important to remember the ultimate goal of the ‘climate change’ promotors is not an energy system that changes the global climate. The goal of the ‘climate change’ group is to create a carbon trading system; a new financial mechanism (a global tax program) to control human activity on a world-wide basis.  This system also needs a digital identity in order to work.

As a consequence, when we look at the fracturing of the global energy marketplace, it is worth viewing the divided group through the prism of the globalist carbon trading scheme.

My hunch is the demand for Russia to accept payment in euros and dollars is directly connected to the G7 worrying about losing climate change leverage with the non-sanction countries around the issue of energy.   For the globalists, it’s not just the loss of the petro-dollar at stake, it’s losing the accompanying leverage they have to enforce their climate change mission.

That’s the only thing that makes this internal conflict make sense.

We Are in Trouble, White House Journalist Asks Senior WH Official if Farmers Should Change Crops This Year


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 28, 2022 

There are often questions raised about whether the crises created by the Biden White House policy are incompetence or intentional.  For the group that believes ‘incompetence‘ is behind the chaos, well, they gained a significant data point today.

During a White House press briefing a reporter asks, “My question is about how the White House plans to prepare for food shortages, particularly as it comes to wheat …. should U.S. farmers grow more wheat this year instead of corn and soybeans given the possible food shortages?”

The Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, Cecilia Rouse, answered” …”farmers respond to price signals. So, with the price of food rising, they will be responding by making additional plantings and trying to take advantage of the increased price signal.  So, the market will work as the market will work.”  Please WATCH 16:32 Prompted

The reporter and the Chair of the CEA seemingly have no idea how long it takes to farm or grow a crop.  As if switching from corn to wheat was just a Monday decision.  Good grief, June/July harvests for winter wheat this year were planted in October of last year.

Changing a crop in the spring for harvest in the summer is not akin to changing your regular order of beverages at Starbucks.

Biden Questioned and Quoted With His Own Words Says, “That Never Happened”


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 28, 2022

Credit where credit is due.  The question from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy was articulate, direct and very well presented.  However, the response from Biden was, well, just unreal gaslighting.

Peter Doocy questions Biden about three recent examples of his statements the White House had to clean up and clarify immediately.  When Biden was confronted with his saying ‘troops were going into Ukraine’, and ‘we will respond in-kind to a chemical weapon attack, and ‘Vladimir Putin has to go’, Joe Biden said those statements never happened.  This is almost unreal.  WATCH: 

Germany Says G7 Reject Russia Demand to Pay for Oil and Gas in Rubles, Sort of


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 28, 2022

Behind the headline is a qualifier that most will miss. “We will urge the companies affected not to follow Putin’s demand.”  The problem for the G7 political leaders is that most of the transactions are between private companies.  The heads of the U.S, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada and the U.K, can stake a position, but the ultimate decision around the transaction in the hands of the private company buyers.

Russia can set the terms.  Whether the G7 political leaders shout ‘breach of contract‘ is seemingly a moot point.  In the big picture, the politicians have already breached the terms of prior trade agreements with sanctions.  Russia can turn off the supply or demand payment in rubles as terms of sale.

BERLIN (AP) — The Group of Seven major economies agreed Monday to reject Moscow’s demand to pay for Russian natural gas exports in rubles.

German energy minister Robert Habeck told reporters that “all G-7 ministers agreed completely that this (would be) a one-sided and clear breach of the existing contracts” for natural gas, which is used to heat homes, generate electricity and power industry.

The energy ministers of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, as well as the European Union energy commissioner, met by videoconference and reaffirmed that contracts “must be respected,” with most stipulating payments be in euros or dollars, a G-7 statement said.

“Payment in ruble is not acceptable, and we will urge the companies affected not to follow (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s demand,” Habeck said. (read more)

It seems odd the G7, who triggered the sanctions to hit Russia with financial damage and block SWIFT currency exchanges, would want to force Russia to accept euros or dollars for purchase.  After all, they didn’t want Russia to have euros and dollars.

Unless, of course, those G7 ministers realize that by not using euros and dollars to trade energy supplies, the value of those currencies will necessarily diminish.

One could look at this demand by the G7 as a larger realization of what might happen downstream if they lose the petro-dollar as a control mechanism.

Are they starting to realize the unintended consequences they and NATO have created?

India and China just made big chess moves by: (1) India agreeing to purchase in rupees/rubles exchange; and (2) Beijing saying they will not adhere to the western sanctions.

It’s shaping up to be G7 -vs- BRICS…

Keep watching.

[Left to Right] Xi Jinping (China), Vladimir Putin (Russia), Jair Bolsonaro (Brazil), Narendra Modi (India) and Cyril Ramaphosa (South Africa), the BRICS group.

Chairman Xi Just Made a Big Move, China Announces They Will Keep Purchasing Crude Oil and Gas From Russia


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on March 28, 2022 

Joe Biden said the western alliance would target any country that violated the sanctions against Russia.  Specifically, after a lengthy telephone call with Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping on March 18th: “President Biden made clear the implication and consequences of China providing material support, if China were to provide material support to Russia, as it prosecutes brutal war in Ukraine,” the senior administration official said, “not just for China’s relationship with the United States, but for the wider world.” (link)

Today, ten days later, China just called Joe Biden’s bluff.

China announces they will violate the western sanctions and continue to purchase crude oil and gas from Russia.

HONG KONG — Chinese state energy company Sinopec will continue to buy crude oil and gas from Russia, a top executive said on Monday, even as Western democracies step up sanctions in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

The company, known formally as China Petroleum and Chemical, is involved in two major projects in Russia: an oil and gas production joint venture called Taihu in the Volga-Ural petroleum basin in western Russia with state-owned peer Rosneft, and the development of the Amur gas chemical complex and processing plant with Sibur in the Russian Far East, adjoining China.

Sinopec holds a 10% stake in privately owned Sibur.

During his company’s annual results call on Monday, Sinopec President Yu Baocai noted that it bought both crude and gas from Russia last year.

“We will also continue to do so in accordance to commercial principles and international trade regulations in the future with all trading partners in order to develop normal oil and gas trading cooperation,” he said.

Yu provided no figures, but said the buying is in line with the company’s strategy of “diversifying import sources.” Key considerations, he said, include supply types, price, transport costs, tariffs and supply stability.

Referring to Sinopec’s projects in Russia, Yu said that both are “operating stably in general for the time being, and there are no indications of impairment.” (read more)

As far as geopolitical chess is concerned, Chairman Xi just put Joe Biden in ‘check.’

There is no way Joe Biden is going to challenge or confront Xi Jinping directly.  However, the intent of the western alliance to change the landscape of economics, trade and finance for the rest of the world is now directly being tested.   We can also look at this like China testing NATO.

Your move Joe….

The Doomsday Jet


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Mar 28, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The Neocons have accomplished their objective. They dethroned Trump and installed the senile president who will go down in history as the President that began World War III. His name will be remembered in infamy because it is always the president to history remembers – not the dark figures behind the curtain prodding him on every action. They know the risks that have now unleashed upon the world. Biden’s trip to Warsaw to convince the Polish people to surrender their lives for the dreams of the American Neocons was interestingly marked by Biden flying on the “Doomsday” jet. At the same time, Biden tells the American people there is no risk of nuclear war. Their actions say differently.

There are four Doomsday Jets in the US’s fleet. One is with the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin as part of his boss’s delegation meeting with NATO and European leaders. These jets are supposed to be “highly survivable” in the case of a nuclear attack and are to be “mobile Pentagons” from which they can direct nuclear war. All the American nuclear weapons can be controlled from anywhere in the world from one of these Doomsday Jets and that even includes in the middle of nuclear attack.

Obviously, they know that pushing Russia to the brink may lead to nuclear war. They stupidly think removing Putin will somehow cause Russia to collapse into the arms of the West. NEVER do these people ever think beyond their nose. They removed Saddam and created ISIS. They armed the Taliban to defend against Russia and then they turned it against the Great Satin. It was the US feeding arms to the Rebels to take down Libya and Syria which backfired and that involved Hillary.

The people surrounding Putin are FAR MORE aggressive than Putin – that is the truth! Putin has his own Neocons and they are pushing for a nuclear attack. They may just nuke Kyiv and hope the West backs down. Or they go all-in and use supersonic missiles and take out NYC, Washington, Denver, Chicago, and LA simultaneously. If they did that without warning, they could even prevent a Doomsday Jet from taking off.

They would not be sending a Doomsday Jet to Europe if they did not know that Nuclear War is now possible. Perhaps the REGIME CHANGE is seriously needed right here at home dragging these Neocons out by their necks to face the public in the open.

Despite Russia signaling that it was scaling back its military ambitions, intense fighting across Ukraine on Saturday suggested there would be no swift let up in the conflict.
