Digital Money, Digital Control – Episode 3

The Infrastructure Barons

with Mark Goodwin

“Bitcoin is less decentralized in nature than it is distributed, with its consensus mechanism standing across rungs of infrastructure that uphold our internet, and the panopticon leviathan living inside its fiber optic cables. No longer will the Federal Reserve’s 12 regional Fed banks decide monetary policy or limit reserve settlement to those within their regulatory regime, but the energy generators, the chip manufacturers, and the internet service providers—at both the software and hardware level—become the new industries of consensus.”

  1. Dear Catherine,

    Hope this finds you well. Thanks for all that you do!

    When I tried to log into my bank account this past Saturday (over the long weekend, 8/30) I was told that I would need to submit my biometric data (thumbprint and photo) by Monday, 9/1 in order to continue to use the bank’s online system. Since this takes effect on September 1st (two day window) it came as quite a surprise. Please note that Monday, 9/1, is a holiday.

    When I called the 800 number they gave me the link to submit my biometric data. Not! I read on the website that this is not mandatory but I understand that in order to use online access it is. I need to clarify that.

    Has anyone else experienced this? This is a profound and unwelcome change.

    1. Have not heard of this. What is the name of your bank and where is your local branch located? If you let me know, I will research.

  2. Thank you Mark, for shedding light on this maze. Activism that works is to simply refuse to participate at this time in any of it to slow down the control grid process – just say no. This action would create time to evaluate the good aspects that can be regulated. We do not need this never ending maze to pretend to deal with debt while creating many evil related doings as Richard Werner so aptly explains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StTKHskg5Tg He and as Catherine often says, there is no lack. I would add only lack of required action to end the misery – just say no. We are cocreators with God able to manifest all things beautiful and good. Doing otherwise is delusional – not real. It is up to us to say no. I look forward to learning more with you.

  3. Thank you Mark Goodwin for your excellent work on Digital Money, Digital Control series especially episode 3. Your clear and well constructed presentation makes a greater level of details very understandable and digestible for non experts. Kudos well done, much appreciated and very important. Carol
