      1. Thanks, Catherine. I assumed you’d already be aware.

        It’s a very interesting document, which covers many of the aspects of CBDCs you and John have discussed on numerous occasions (transaction anonymity, cross border payments, legislative alterations required for implementation, legal tender status of CBDCs, etc.). Something which isn’t discussed in detail is CBDC “programmability”, which the Bank of England (for example) has openly talked about. One quote worth mentioning here is from page 13:

        “All three active CBDC projects have chosen the same way to handle the policy trade-off between anonymity/financial inclusion and AML/CFT compliance. Their approach has been to provide a tiered selection of wallets with different levels of thresholds. Those with lower thresholds allow for greater anonymity.
        As a result, CBDC can more easily be rolled out into rural or disadvantaged areas where virtual identification can
        be difficult. The use of tiered CBDC wallets thus gives rise to “policy synergies” between anonymity, risk-reduction (of
        bank runs), and financial inclusion”.

        Who gets to decide what level of anonymity they’re entitled to? My assumption is that almost zero anonymity will be provided by any tier of wallet. Or would those with better social credit scores be entitled to more anonymity?

        One overriding theme appears to be that this is a project of enormous complexity, and there are still major hurdles which need to be cleared prior to implementation. From page 26:

        “CBDC exploration is still in an early stage, and not all country experiences can be easily ported abroad.
        There are still open questions, and CBDC remains an uncharted territory, raising challenges as well as opportunities”.

        Maybe things are at a more advanced stage than are portrayed in this paper. Who knows? But it sounds to me as though meeting the 2025 timeframe (which seems to be a key date) for rollout, might be ambitious.

        1. I agree. The pandemic was the external force to begin the many years of experimentation (vaccination) they planned, while improving the technology (CBDC), and making pharma much more powerful $$$.

          Fortunately, many people in the world have awaken and are starting to see the real – I call it – “PATH” to full control and corruption. What we need to do now is to fight back, to no give up, and clean our election system immediately. There are too many things happening concurrently —but the election — is the main expression of any Democracy. Venezuela was stolen.

          1. Not just Venezuela.

            I’m not a Trump supporter, but the 2020 US presidential election looked clearly fraudulent to me. As was the 2000 edition. As was CA Governor Gavin Newsom’s recall election. Election rigging appears to be rampant in the US.

  2. Catherine,
    Writing about this after just getting another Chase email offering my non-existent children the opportunity to get a Chase debit card. Inject children and issue them a health passport and get them into the banking system all in the same school year. My relationship with Chase will be over by the end of this year.

  3. I recently picked up “Brave New World Revisited” by Aldous Huxley, and also re-read the 1931 “Brave New World.” I am amazed at how timeless Brave New World is. We are definitely more in Brave New World than 1984.

    1. ‘a bank will be able to freeze an account without court order’.

      Not the government. not at police request. the bank can decide by itself. if they just suspect something.
      That is what you get if you vote for Fidel Castro son.

  5. I read the book China Rising by Jeff Brown. Reading it was everything opposite of what I previously read.Since you are inquisitive I strongly suggest you read that book.

      1. From what I’ve had the privilege and time to read at Solari Report, I think your “Rise of the Asian Consumer” Wrap Up has been one of your finest Catherine. Thanks again for that work!

  7. I took the first Moderna vaccine as an experiment to see what everyone was saying about it being bad- I have no children or grandkids, as a 45 yer investigator, and listening to rocket scientist David Adair, a brilliant guy who I respect, who said he took it like me as an Experiment, to also see what would happen, I can testify to this honestly, I’m in SW Florida, red state, first shot, withing hours and for 3 weeks after felt I was having ah heart attack severe chest pains that put in lying down for an hour – I took high quality supplements to reduce inflmation- once it was over, I took Front Line Doctors advice to Not take 2nd shot for 3-4 months, I did as they said took 2nd shot 5 months later, and like David Adair, I avid gardener, active, energetic, have loss of stamina. David said on an interview about this with Kerry Cassidy, after his 2nd shot of Moderna ha can now only walk 600 feet and has to sit down. I have the same lack of stamina. I did this because I have No children, no grandchildren and I’m a born Investigator my entire adult life – to me it was worth it so others make an informed decision. How could I have known unless I knew for Myself and what I learned could help others? I am deeply spiritual and asked the Divine for thru this, and to my mistaken folly did Not ask for divine help on the first shot with the heart attack symptoms of 3-4 weeks, BUT I realized, how foolish~. I went into prayer and asked for Divine help and the fatigue h=has now gone away after 4 days and No heart or chest problems After the end shot. I truly believe this is a wake-up call to humanity to ask for help and connect to the Divine. We are more powerful than this junk they are subjecting us to for Pharma profits and WEF control. Thank you for all your do. Your journey thru life, I only wish as an investigator, and I was “one of the best” I’ was old (retired 1998) I could have helped you. God bless and I appreciate all you do, With my best and love, Valerie

    1. Talking with nurse in Maryland at IV center, The nurses were doing vax work. A medical resident got the vax. This nurse watched the medical resident stiffen up in minutes and become unresponsive. All those years of study and training gone in minutes with stroke. Two other stories from IV room. A man developed blood clot in leg and neck days after vax. The leg clot was cut out to save foot. A women 3 months after vax has cancer. The MD practice that runs IV center has said no vax since last year.

      1. Here in the UK, I would not be surprised to find that excess deaths increased by 20-30 per million per jab, irrespective of age. I’m seeing a 10% increased risk of death in the elderly, and a 25% increased risk of death in the working age population.
        Jab rate is now way down, and it looks like current rates of death are below the five year average. I haven’t looked to see by how much the population in each age group has fallen, but it is a factor. Then there’s this :

        “PHS is worried that the data might be used to show that the vaccines are ineffective and dangerous.”

        “When they can’t spin it to their narrative, they just stop revealing the data”

        1. At some point, hard to believe that the life insurance companies are not going to invoke an EUA opt out.
