Here’s How They Plan to Control EVERY Asset You Own, ’Unified Ledger’ Announced · Man in America Podcast

• 1:33
  Seth Holehouse: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Man in America. I'm your host, Seth Holhouse. So as we've been tracking what's happening with the central bank digital currency, there's something that recently came out from the BIS, which is the Bank of International Settlements or what they refer to as the central bank of the central bank, where they've announced they're rolling out this program called basically, what what is is a unified ledger. And so the Central Bank Digital Currency, what that does is it brings all of your money into a as a digital token. So instead of having, say, a hundred bucks in your bank account, you might have a hundred tokens.
• 2:11
  And it gives them what it's what is referred to as a programmable centralized currency. So it's centrally monitored, but it's programmable meaning they can change the rules about it saying that if your credit score is not at this level, if you are talking bad about the president, we can actually change the rules of what you can access or we can change what you can buy. Say you bought too much beef that month, they can say you can't use your Central Bank digital currency to buy more beef because of its carbon emissions. That's the Central Bank digital currency, but what the BIS has announced with this unified ledger is like the CBDC on steroids. What it is is it's bringing in all of your other key assets into that same system.
• 2:54
  If you own real estate, stocks, bonds, any other asset, the whole idea is they're bringing all that into a centralized place which is wrapped around a token. So say your stocks, you know, will be tokenized, meaning that they can have rules applied to them. So this is honestly like we thought the central bank digital currency was bad, but this is an even greater threat to our freedoms. And so joining us will be Doctor. Kirk Elliott to be really diving into what this means.
• 3:24
  So folks, enjoy the interview. Kirk, it's great to have you on, man. How are you doing?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Oh, man, it's so great to be on. I'm doing well, doing really well. And I think my eyeballs might look like saucers because I've been doing so much research over the last forty eight hours. There's a lot of stuff happening right now, like at a supernatural type speed.
• 3:48
  Seth Holehouse: Yeah, it just it seems like we're on the cusp of something big changing. I'm not you know, I don't want to say whether it's a really good thing or really bad thing or it's probably a combination, you know, they always come to it comes together with the bad comes the good. But one thing that, to me, it wasn't really until those past week that I really started kind of honing in on it. And the more I've dug into it, the more I've been alarmed. And that's this, this BIS, Bank of International Settlements, centralized ledger.
• 4:20
  So I'm gonna run through a couple different web pages here. And then I want to really hear your thoughts on this. I know this is where you live. This is probably where you've spending a lot of time researching lately. So I'll start with this tweet from attorney Tom Rens.
• 4:35
  And he says, this might be the most terrifying thing I've seen. Now, now keep in mind, this is Tom Rins saying this, right? Someone who's on the front line of like suing the the the government and, you know, he's involved in very terrifying things. So those are strong words for him and he's also he's also an attorney, he's not so that mince his words. He says the Bank of International Settlements BIS is literally laying out how you will own nothing.
• 5:04
  Central banks will own your house, your car, your bank account, etc. You'll be able to do things if you comply with their mandates. Understand that this is not just a war on freedom, it's a war on humanity. Even your health care could be dependent on how compliant you are with government mandates. Combine this with CBDCs and you have the recipe for the great reset, you will own nothing and like it.
• 5:27
  So he's referring to this the BIS centralized ledger. And so or unified ledger. So I'm gonna go in this other article I have here that just gives a decent summary of it. And then I'm gonna go into their actual documents. I've got a few highlighted points so we can read what they've actually written about this.
• 5:48
  So this article, Unified Ledger Globalist Release Blueprint for Future Monetary System. So it says the new unified ledger agenda has been released by the Bank for International Sentiments, BIS, also known as the Bank of Central Banks. The plan found on this bis.org link, which I'll go go to is entitled quote, blueprint for the future monetary system improving the old enabling the new. And so so they give a summary here. This new plan describes a globalist run quote unified ledger that records the ownership of all assets, checking accounts, real estate, bonds, stocks, etc.
• 6:31
  On a centralized exchange run by globalists. All assets will be tokenized, a process that the BIS describes as recording claims on financial or real assets that exist on a traditional ledger on a programmable platform. The unified ledger will feature programmable entries meaning that your ownership of assets can be revoked or altered at any time. The BIS sees its new unified ledger tracking all the assets issued by central banks. This is even larger than CBDCs.
• 7:05
  It combines the assets of all central banks while also tokenizing and controlling real estate assets, stocks, bonds, pensions, and anything else that can be represented through digital records. The BIS document goes on to state that all tokenized assets can be subjected to regulate regulatory rules by governments. These would include or these could include regulations involving speech, climate change, acceptance of LGBT narratives, conformity to vaccine demands, and so on. So from the paper quote, this dual nature of tokens could be used to good effect in a supervisory and compliance setting by directly embedding supervisory features into the token itself, which can be tailored to specific rules. Now, that's the frightening part to me is them saying that yeah, these tokens could be tailored to match the rules of the governing body.
• 8:04
  Meaning like in China, for instance, if you they can seize your real estate, you know, or in America, you know, the same thing. So just to kind of continue setting up the stage for our discussion, I'll just read through a handful of things from their actual report. And this is like this is a massive report, know, 34 page PDF, but I've gone through and highlighted a few things I think that are really key. So they're saying that tokenization of money has a an assets has great potential, a new type of financial market infrastructure, a unified ledger could capture the full benefits of tokenization by combining central bank money, tokenized deposits and tokenized assets on a programmable platform. And I'll just give a few of my own words here in saying that basically through my like third grade understanding of these things, it's like your your assets will be tracked on a central digital platform.
• 9:00
  Tracked and controlled. That's what they're proposing. Anything that is an asset in their mind, it starts off as being real estate, automobile, stock market stuff, it can eventually become food, maybe that even the food that you're given is tracked as an asset on this. So coming down here, actually, I'll scroll through down and I want to read a few points. Okay, so this is okay, this is really important here.
• 9:26
  Says, this chapter presents a blueprint for a future monetary system that harnesses the potential of tokenization to improve the old enable the new. The key this is critical. The key elements of the blueprint are central bank digital currencies, tokenized deposits, and other tokenized claims on financial and real assets. The blueprint envisages these elements being brought together in a new type of financial market infrastructure, a unified ledger. So I think there's some things I can go through here, but I want to I'll pull those up as we're talking.
• 9:59
  But, I mean, first off, is this as frightening as it seems? Mean, when you've been tracking this for some time. But what do you make of this, Kirk?
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: It I agree with Attorney Renz. It's like this is when I saw this, it's like, man, this is the scariest thing I think I've ever seen. And the reason I say that is you added up with everything else that we know about central bank digital currencies, what the BIS has said before. And so we can connect some of those dots. So we go back to last year and the World Economic Forum, said, Doctor.
• 10:43
  Pippa Malmgren said that central bank digital currency is basically programmable money, just like what we're talking here, same words, same meaning, right? The ability to cut you off from buying or selling if your digital social profile, basically, which is the mirror image of you to the world. What you spend your money on doesn't match up with what they want you to be. Then you have these other two Bank of International settlements projects, Project Icebreaker and Aurora, which we've discussed on the last couple of shows, which is the ability to cut off bank wires if the use of funds doesn't match up with your ideology. And then Aurora is real time transaction monitoring from every person, company, at every bank in every country.
• 11:29
  Right? All of that added together. Why? So they can see if your spending matches their ideology, which matches up with your digital social profile. Right?
• 11:39
  So then you go one step backwards to 2019 when the original Fed Now app legislation or it's not an act, it's not a legislation, it's a ruling from the Federal Reserve, right? Found in the Federal Register, this is when they originally penned it and what they want to do. And they said this was going to come become in effect in 2023 to 2024. And it's the conduit from your your Apple phone, your Android phone to you and your central bank digital currency, the repository, the debit and credit system, which is attached to your digital social profile. So so in in those documents at the Fed, they talk about a new mechanism of money being that of social control, not just a unit of exchange, not just to hold the value, but of social control.
• 12:35
  So when you add all of those pieces together and apply them to this new unified ledger, this is what makes it so scary because the concept of or the details of tokenization are in layman's terms, would say it's just collecting of all your financial data or any data, you know, jumbling it all up, putting it into a package. Right? So now it's all collected in one spot. It's not like it's a token like a coin. It's just the technical word for collecting all of your data, putting it into a package.
• 13:09
  Now, Bitcoin is tokenization on a decentralized platform. So on blockchain that's decentralized, actually very private. It's immutable and non programmable, meaning you can't change the ownership and you can't look back or change anything. Once this thing is tokenized, it is what it is. It's completely private ownership.
• 13:36
  You don't know where the funds came from. You don't know where the funds are going. Right? It's an amazing concept of privacy, which is why central banks are pooh poohing decentralized cryptocurrency like it's nobody's business. Right?
• 13:51
  It's like, no, this is terrible. Look what's happening. Look what happened to BlockFi. Look what happened to FTX. Look what what greedy, greedy cryptocurrency people and you're only going after profit and boy, they're going to jail and all this.
• 14:07
  Right? Well, they're doing the same thing with actually a big, huge twist, and that is they're centralizing all the data. So they own the data. They know the source, know what the funds are going to be used for. They know the owner, that it's you because it's all centralized, it's not decentralized.
• 14:28
  So imagine putting into the hands of the globalist your real estate, your cash, your brokerage accounts, every asset that you have into one package, that then when you tokenize that basically under a central bank digital currency, it's the opposite of what we saw with Bitcoin where it's immutable and non programmable. They can program it to do numerous things, shut you off from even being able to access it for all kinds of social engineering reasons. Right? Let's just say you like what that article was saying, let's say you spoke out against child. Boy, we don't we don't like what you're saying.
• 15:15
  What if you spoke out against global warming or your carbon footprint or you spoke out against the banking system or politics or religion or anything? It's like, if we don't like you, we're going to cut you off. This is the social control aspect that's in the Federal Register, right, or the Federal Reserve initial documents. You add that all this digital social profile stuff, the ability to cut you off if your ideology doesn't match up, they won't even allow for a bank wire. Can see where all this is coming into play.
• 15:47
  But the the one thing that's almost as scary as a unified. This unified ledger is the whole concept of programmable money is that they can also program a time element into it, You know, because real currency, paper money, there's not necessarily a time element. It has value, it's a hold of value, and it's a unit of exchange. So digital money, they can cut it off whenever they want to, if they don't like whatever reason. Right?
• 16:24
  So let's say they were trying to stimulate the economy and they wanted everybody to spend money and and put money into the system to grow the economy. And let's just say, Seth, you had a hundred thousand dollars in your bank account. They could say with a time factor on money, it's like, hey, Seth, use it or lose it, it's going away December 31. If you don't use it, it's gone. So what are you gonna do?
• 16:49
  You're going to try to buy as much as you can of your money. What if this is your retirement? You're going to eat away at your retirement, your life savings, your nest egg, which is what most prudent people do is they save up for a rainy day, right? So this whole concept of putting a timetable on your money with programmable money, which is easy to do under this unified ledger system, is get you separated from your money. So why?
• 17:16
  You don't have money for rainy day. You don't have money for your retirement. Therefore, it makes you enslaved into their system forever. Moving forward, you have to be dependent on the debit and credit system that they say that you can have the money and when, right? So you add all of that up, it's like, oh my word, this is one of the most scary financial things ever.
• 17:41
  It's like one of those monumental moments in history of America, you could say Kennedy getting assassinated is one of them, maybe Nixon taking us off the gold standard from in 1971 and is, you know, a or the the start of the Federal Reserve in the early 1900s or 09/11. Right. There's things that changed in society that always caused something big and massive to follow. Like 09/11, we got the Patriot Act. Right?
• 18:13
  It's like you you you look at these things, huge massive crisis, huge overreach of a response that changed life forever. This is one of those things that they're going to use a banking crisis to actually strip away our freedoms possibly forever. The ability to buy or sell on what you want, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, it's gone. Right? And and the and the whole concept of ownership, you you don't own your house.
• 18:46
  Under under unified ledger, in their own words, you don't own it. They do. Why would I say that they own it if you actually do? Well, because it's programmable, and they can cut you off from actually doing anything with it unless you agree with them on everything. It's like that's not ownership.
• 19:05
  Ownership equals control. You don't control your own financial destiny anymore unless you do you act the way that they want you to act. If not, they're gonna cut you off from buying or selling. To me, that's not ownership. You give away ownership to the Bank of International Settlements by going into this system.
• 19:25
  That's what we just gave up is ownership of our assets under the system. That's why I think this is one of the most dangerous things I've ever seen.
• 19:35
  Seth Holehouse: Alright, folks. I've got a quick message for you. I have one simple question. If today you could no longer go purchase more food for your family with the food stores that you have in your home, how long would you be able to feed your family? Would it be a week, three weeks, a month, two months, a year?
• 19:54
  This is a really important question folks that we have to be very realistic about because the elites are proactively trying to put us into a state of food crisis and a state of famine. I'm sure you've seen all of the different food processing plants and farms that are blowing up. You've got cattle dying by the tens of thousands. They're proactively trying to collapse our food system because they know if they can control our food, they can control us. And so one of the best ways to be outside of their control is to be able to have our own stores of food and to be able to produce our own food.
• 20:27
  So there's really two things I would recommend. One is having heirloom seeds that you can grow your own food with, making sure that they're non GMO heirloom seeds that that way you can harvest your seeds this year, use them next year. You can use these seeds for generations. Literally, it's how it will work. The other thing though is this high quality storable food.
• 20:47
  This is food that's sitting somewhere, it's hidden in your basement, buried in your backyard, whatever it is. So that way if there is a crisis, if there is an emergency, you might have three months set aside to get through that time period. And so for this, I would highly recommend a company called Heaven's Harvest. This is an amazing Christian owned patriot company and what they're doing is they're making high quality storable food. Again, lot of the food companies, they say these food buckets, they're all about maximizing calories per dollar.
• 21:17
  They're filling the buckets with a bunch of filler and junk like sweet beverages, etc. But Heaven's Harvest, they focus on very high quality food that will last up to twenty five years on the shelf. They also sell heirloom seeds. You can buy all of your seed, you can buy all of your restorable food. And look folks, personally, I would recommend having at least three months per person in your household, if not six months or even a year.
• 21:41
  Again, depends on your budget, but I'll definitely make sure you have some seeds because that seed those seeds could be worth their weight in gold, if not more in the future. So to go ahead and do this right now, go put up a new tab and go to heavensharvest.com. And if you use the promo code Seth, that's s e t h, promo code Seth, you'll save 15% off of your entire order. So again, folks, the time is running out and you'd rather be three months or one year early than one day late. Again, heavensharvest.com and use promo code Seth to save 15% today.
• 22:18
  Well, and part of it is that, you know, we look at say a savings account. And for someone to think that, you know, we've talked about CBDC and so say, one day they say, okay, as of today, all assets in checking and savings accounts are being converted to CBDC tokens, right? That's a frightening scenario. But someone might say, well, okay, I've also got my land, I've got my four zero one ks, I've got money in the stock market, I've got a Vanguard IRA. So they're thinking, okay, well, I still have these other backups, but this is almost turning all those things into CBDC.
• 22:51
  And so I'm going to read few more parts of this, this, this document that they released about this because it helps paint the overall picture because you can see that what they're doing with this is they're trying to build that same narrative that the only thing you can trust is the central bank, right? That they're the ones that you can trust to handle this. And that's exactly what every government does when they come in. It starts off as a good thing. And then before you know it, it's communist China or communist, you know, Soviet Union, is they say, look, it's actually, you know, these small state run governments, you know, these 50 states, that's not really gonna work anymore.
• 23:30
  So it's gonna be one super central federal government overseeing everything. And so I'll pull this back up. There's a few things to read here. So one here they say is that central banks could work with regulated private entities to develop technological solutions and standards to meet specific case uses. But here here's the key, but with their public interest mandate, central banks are the best place to establish a common venue for each use case by interlinking the monetary system.
• 23:59
  And here's their key, proper oversight and supervision will be a prerequisite for this endeavor. So again, they're and saying, well, this is a great system, but only if it all runs through the central bank. So it's imagine if now the central bank is monitoring where you own land or where you have assets. But then I'll continue down here. This is a really detailed document.
• 24:27
  So here's where they're saying that for this ledger, for this unified ledger to work, you must have a central bank digital currency. Right? And this is the key. So they say that the full potential of tokenization needs a monetary unit of account that the non denominates transactions as well as the accompanying means of payment. However, for the reasons highlighted above central bank money in the settlement finality that it brings is a much firmer foundation for tokenization than crypto, they're saying.
• 25:00
  The full potential of tokenization is therefore best harnessed by having central bank money reside in the same venue as their tokenized claims. They continue, this is the key part of this, for this reason, the development of a wholesale CBDC is core to the functioning of a tokenized environment. As a tokenized means of settlement, wholesale CBDs CBDCs would serve a similar role as reserves in the current system, but with the added functionalities enabled by tokenization. So that's the that's the key part there is that this whole platform is built on central bank digital currency, which is centralized and fully programmable.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, people people possibly don't understand what fully programmable means. Right? I mean, it's a very innocuous word out. It's like, cool. It can be flexible.
• 25:56
  They can change things three sixty five, 20 fourseven, make life easier. No, programmable in this context means changing ownership, changing your access to it, changing because it's digital, right? They could could say, okay, Seth, you might have a couple hundred thousand here and there, you know, but we're only gonna allow you to take out $50 a day. Well, if it's everything is digital, there's nothing you can do about it. Right?
• 26:23
  It's coded in there. You can't get it out. This is why something that's digital is so bad for for freedom. Either you you ultimately lose privacy completely. I don't care what anybody says.
• 26:35
  You will you will lose privacy, and you're gonna lose your ability to actually own it and control it because you're not basically coding in when you can put it in, when you can take it out. Right? Somebody else is. They could change it on a whim. I mean, this is this is pretty scary.
• 26:53
  Just like they can make it really easy to pay taxes. Right? It's like, okay, don't even fill out a tax return anymore. If everything's completely visible, everything's completely transparent, they know how much money came in an income, they know what you sent out. You don't even have to fill out tax returns.
• 27:07
  They'll just take whatever they want. Right? They're gonna push this as being really, really easy, simple, safe. It's gonna fight crime. It's gonna fight laundering, all this stuff, but it's not what they want.
• 27:22
  They don't want that stuff. They want complete control over you, and that's the goal. That is absolutely the goal of this. There's no other way around it when you read the actual source document that you can actually come to another conclusion that this is all about control.
• 27:38
  Seth Holehouse: Well, I mean, when everyone knows by now, the saying of you you will own nothing and be happy. Well, like, this actually makes sense of that. Because I was I saw that and I think, okay, what's that mean? You will own nothing and be happy. Does it mean that we're all living in these little cubes in smart city like something out of Fifth Element where you know, everything is controlled and maybe that's the long learn long term goal.
• 28:02
  But what it could actually mean is that I could maybe live the exact same life I have right now. I've got a house, I've got a truck, I've got a minivan, I've got you know, this these various assets that I have. And I right now I feel like at least I own them, though I'm paying property tax on my land. If I don't pay that property tax, the government seizes it. So that's a whole different discussion.
• 28:25
  Do I really own my land? The key with this is that you will own nothing. It's like, if my house is basically granted to me via a token that's programmable, that's owned by that's really fundamentally owned by a central bank authority, a centralized one world authority. That what that means is though I'm staying here in this house or though I'm driving that car, you mentioned it being programmable meaning it can change, it can change ownership, the rules surrounding it can be changed. They might say for instance that you can only have a car if your carbon footprint is less than x.
• 29:06
  If they're tracking all this stuff, or you can only have access to the stock account, your stock account if your social credit score is above a 700, Right? So that's exactly what this is. I mean, this is like this is in the game for them in terms of their control system. And so, I guess, you know, there's there's a lot of things, a lot of questions that arise out of this. I'm thinking about how this ties into bricks and, you know, that's a whole just massive discussion to unpack with this.
• 29:38
  But obviously, I know that a lot of our discussions end up discussing precious metals, gold and silver, because that's I mean, the same way that I discuss food a lot. Say, hey, look, folks, make sure you got your food. But like, you know, right here, this is an ounce of silver. Okay. And, you know, even right now, actually, just got done with a contractor.
• 30:00
  And he said, can I pay you in some silver? He goes, Yeah, that'd be great. So I gave him two tubes of silver, know, little one ounce rounds and that covered all this work on my house. So that's the thing like with this is that because this is a global asset, right? It's not like it's a US dollar tied to the US dollar, it's demand and everything.
• 30:22
  How do you think gold and silver would play into this? Because in my thinking, it's like, they've got to have some plan to make sure we can't use this to bypass their system. Or or is it something that that's like outside of their control because it's outside of their digital sphere where they're building all their control mechanisms? I mean, how do you make sense of that?
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: I would say the latter is probably true. It's outside of their sphere. Now, if you were to use it as currency at a grocery store, right, maybe they would come up with something like that, but you're not going to, you're going to be using it for barter or things of that nature. Right? So it's basically out of their control and purview.
• 31:01
  But but why would you want it? Well, because if nothing else is is available, nothing else that you would want. For example, I think they're gonna make it very difficult to not take central bank digital currency. I I think they're gonna make it really difficult. For example, say you're retired and you get your Social Security.
• 31:20
  That's $2,700 a month. It's like, well, how is it gonna come? Probably from the FedNow app because it's coming from the government. This is their government banking thing. It's like, hey, Seth.
• 31:29
  If you want your $2,700 a month Social Security, you better get on with the FedNow app. There is no other way to get it. Right? Or or they could force the issue at gas pumps. It's like, well, unless you put in your FedNow app, you're not gonna get gas.
• 31:46
  We don't take any other forms of payment. Right? They're gonna well, then what are gonna do? Not drive? Well, if you're not gonna live in a house, you live in a tent under a bridge somewhere, right, if you can't make mortgage payments because it's not in their version of currency that they want, they won't take anything else.
• 32:04
  So this is where I I believe I think there's going to be alternative currency systems that rise up like almost on day one. Like where there's a will, there's a way. Somebody will see it because somebody's going to realize, well, good grief, like every Christian evangelical Catholic on the planet, right? It's like don't want to take this system because they think it's the mark of the beast, which it probably is, right? So therefore, you start living off the grid.
• 32:30
  So there's alternative systems that will establish themselves overnight. Now, that was kind of a rogue zombie apocalypse kind of a scenario. Right? But but what's more mainstream? Simple.
• 32:44
  States like Texas and and Alaska saying we want a state chartered central bank that's backed by gold. It's like, sweet. So state chartered means you're not FDIC. It means you're not federally insured. You're not a federal bank.
• 32:58
  Right? So so you get out of all of that nonsense with the Fed now. Chartered bank, they have their own money. They have their own possible backing of the currency. They could back their currency with gold.
• 33:10
  Right? So so I think there's gonna be alternative systems that rise up in addition to other countries now potentially leaving the CBDC BRICS system. Right? You know, news news from July 3 that the Indian foreign affairs minister was saying, I don't know about the CBDC and thing with the BRICS nations. Right?
• 33:34
  It's like our currency, we have the strongest GDP in all the BRICS nations, and our economy is is kind of booming a little bit. We don't we don't wanna drag it down with some kind of European, you know, euro currency, central bank digital currency. So what do they do? Well, they pull out of the system. So about two days ago, it was noted on, oh, India.

  It was a news site on on Twitter from from India. So, basically, they decided along with that statement that they made on July 3 that India was not going to support or recognize the BRICS Central Bank digital currency. They're not even gonna recognize it, which means they're not gonna be a part of it. So so it's not like they were kicked out of bricks. No.
• 34:21
  They're still in bricks. They're just not going to use the currency, which means they'll probably be kicked out of bricks at some point. Right? So so you you look at those kind of things that are happening, whether it's a country like India or whether it's oh, boy. It was either Hong Kong or Singapore that told China, it's like, we're not gonna accept any kind of Chinese central bank digital currency or BRICS currency for anything.
• 34:42
  Right? So you've got countries opposing the system. You've got states rising up opposing the system. You've got states that say gold is legal tender, like Arkansas, Wyoming, Utah, Oklahoma. All of them say gold is legal tender.
• 35:00
  So here's where we don't have to settle, Seth. We don't have to settle for this fear that's consuming most people thinking this is the mark of the beast, what am I going to do? It's like, no, You can allocate outside of that. You know, maybe move your money to a bank that's not FDIC insured, that's more of a state chartered bank. There's not a lot of options right now, but you know what?
• 35:25
  There will be. That where there's a will, there's a way. I think there is going to be. So I would I would move that then. In the meantime, I would allocate into strength, allocate into safety.
• 35:34
  We never know when these things are gonna start happening, to get a put a smile on your face and get out of harm's way. So you've got
• 35:44
  Seth Holehouse: Sorry, one question I have Kirk is, as I'm thinking through this, once right now, let's just say I said Kirk, I want 100 ounces of silver, you could say okay Seth, it's going to cost you, you know, dollars 3,000 or whatever. And I say, Okay, I will bank wire or I'll mail you a check and you get that you deposit, sit, you ship it to me. Now, once this system rolls out, especially once a CBDC system rolls out, we already know they're talking about limiting purchasing of ammunition. They're talking about it openly. Do you think that because they're they see this as a threat to their system because it is, that once those assets are converted to CBDC, do you think they will ban the purchase of precious metals?
• 36:30
  Like once it's kind of like if you don't get out before that system gets put into place, that you may have lost your window to move your assets into something like precious metals?
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: I actually do. I mean, this is this is part of their goal. It's part of their agenda to get everybody into their programmable money. Anything that stands in their way, they're gonna demonize. We're already and the reason I said it is because we're already starting to see it.
• 36:56
  Right? Where there's they're demonizing decentralized cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and and Dogecoin and things like that. Why? Because it is an attack against what they're doing. But it's easy to actually say, okay.
• 37:11
  Look at all these greedy companies, right, taking advantage of everybody. That's their angle. But and so or you could you could have oh, that's that's just one extreme. But what about getting your Social Security payments? Right?
• 37:26
  What about the the thing that it's like, how are they gonna collect all this stuff into a tokenized coin or tokenized token? Right? Your real estate, your other assets. Well, I think they're just gonna start asking. You know, under perjury on a tax return for maybe next year, they say, we'll list out all of your assets.
• 37:47
  You don't do it now, you're in huge trouble. Right? So so or maybe huge penalties or maybe jail time. Right? I don't think there's going to be a way to once you're in the system to get money out.
• 38:01
  Why? Because they control the purse strings. So don't put your ass I don't know how this is gonna come out, how it's gonna play out. Right? All I know is that where there's a will, there's a way throughout history.
• 38:12
  People have always there's always something that rises up that can people invest in into safety. Right? But but I don't know what it would be right at this point other than gold or silver because it's tangible. You take delivery of it. You can legitimately use it for a barter.
• 38:27
  So so the fact that they're gonna probably ask you, I would say on a tax return, what's what else do you have? Other than your money here that you're claiming, what what real estate do you have? What other investments do you have? They're just gonna have to be intrusive on it because a lot of the stuff is dealer non reportable, private transactions. They don't know that you have it or not.
• 38:51
  So they're relying on most of the population to actually tell them.
• 38:57
  Seth Holehouse: Well, one funny point is I was talking to a, I was in a different state. I won't go into any details. And it's a state that has very different gun laws than Ohio. And I was talking to a local police officer. And just saying I was I'm just curious.
• 39:12
  I was like, gun registration and whatnot. And in this particular state, you know, like your typical AR 15 is not allowed. And so I asked him, said like what do what do people do here? Are they complying? And he, he said look, he goes, 90% of the AR fifteens in this state were never registered.
• 39:34
  And it's the same thing happened with ATF. They made a ruling about pistol braces, right? You can't have a gun with a full roll pistol brace. I think only 10% of the pistol brace owners actually registered their their guns with the ATF. So I think that shows you like that's an indicator, talking about how, you know, where there's a will there's a way this parallel system is that yeah, I think that like, are the people with with a bucket full of this stuff buried in their backyard gonna say, you know what?
• 40:02
  Yes, you know, Joe Biden, here's a map of where it's buried, or here's where it's hidden in my house. They're gonna say, there's no way I'm reporting that, you know?
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Right. Right. I mean, this this is world that we're entering into, right? It's like brave new world. Forget about anything being private, right?
• 40:19
  Unless you actually have a private asset. So what's not going to be private? Anything that you claim, right? All your digital assets, your paper assets, those are, you know, it's not digital, right? If you have something that's digital, people are going to know about it.
• 40:36
  If you have something that's not, they won't. This is why I love tangible assets, like gold, like silver, that you can put in your pocket, that you can walk around, trade back and forth. You just conducted commerce. You just traded that for something that you wanted from somebody that something that they had, and you didn't have to engage in the central bank digital currency system, right? This is one way out.
• 41:01
  The the other way out is structure change, like the states moving out of the FDIC, out of a federally insured system. And, you know, just barter. Golden's over for barter. It's like, I don't know what else you could do at this point because you need something that has personal ownership. Right?
• 41:23
  Something that you have on you or that you store that you can get right away. Right? Because lot of my clients have big monster IRAs that they moved into silver. You can't take delivery of that until you cash out, until you take a distribution. In the meantime, it's safe.
• 41:38
  When push comes to shove, things start changing. It's like, hey, take your stuff at home, right? But until then, I would hold it safely because the world's changing quick. I mean, literally right underneath our nose, it's happening. Things that we talked about three weeks, a month ago seems like a distant memory at this point with everything that's happened since then.
• 41:59
  So I would encourage everybody before these things start to come into motion, once they're here, I think it's too late, you you reallocate into safety. You reallocate out of your paper, out of your stocks, bonds, your mutual funds, go into physical silver. It's the smartest thing to do given the world that we're living in right now because it's the last of the private transactions.
• 42:21
  Seth Holehouse: Exactly. And so if folks want to do that with you and your company, so I've got the website here. So it's just goldwithseth.com. That's the website there. Goldwithseth.com.
• 42:33
  And then when you scroll down, there is a form they can fill out. Also, your phone number (720) 605-3900. Those are going to be in the description as well. And as I've said before, look like, like honestly, Kirk, you're the reason I do this full time, that my wife can do this full time. We've got people helping out with us.
• 42:54
  I'm an independent journalist. I'm not, you know, you don't go collect some big paycheck from Fox News nor am I getting ad, you know, ad revenue from YouTube. So this is what allows me to do this. And so I just I thank you for what you're doing. I actually I really do think that in the future, lot of people will look back and be like, gosh, I'm so glad I didn't miss that window.
• 43:16
  Because I think that as much as it feels like we always have time, it's like you always have time to buy toilet paper until you go to Costco, and there's 500 people waiting outside, and they're limiting you to one roll apiece. Do you know what I mean? It's like, those things happen. You know, it's like I'd rather be six months early than one day late on something like that.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: 100%, yes. And so we just simply have to, the world is different. If you don't change with a changing world, then you're going to sync with the ship, right? So it's very, very, very, very important. I've never been a sense of urgency kind of a guy, never have until now.
• 43:57
  This is the most egregious attack on our freedoms financially that I've ever seen. It's not that I'm a spring chicken. I mean, I'm not old, I'm not young. I'm like my fifties, I've seen thirty years of growth. I'm still a young guy.
• 44:11
  But thirty years in this business, I've seen a lot. I've seen two thousand, I've seen Y2K, I've seen towers, I've seen two thousand and nine, right? It's like, boy, there's a lot to have seen and a lot to have learned in all of that. What did I realize? Companies can go out of business overnight.
• 44:32
  If you don't want somebody to know about something, well, then don't put it online. Ultimately, that's what digital money is. So you have to always be private. Privacy comes through tangible assets that you take delivery of. We're not talking about just significant growth right now, Seth, which is what we are seeing in silver.
• 44:51
  I mean, in the last well, let's see. Wednesday and Thursday of last week, silver was up about a buck 80 in two days. I mean, already up about I mean, that's incredible, right? So our goal then is to be wise stewards, take advantage of these moves so they don't take advantage of us. That is how you'll grow.
• 45:14
  That is how you'll thrive moving forward.
• 45:17
  Seth Holehouse: Exactly. Well, thanks, Kirk, and I'll I'll see you again next week.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Sounds good, brother. You have a good one. Thank you.
