## Resource

Discover how soaring debt, a coordinated dollar assault, and rapid CBDC adoption could consolidate financial power and erode economic freedom. Hear admissions from BIS, IMF, and WEF leaders on programmability, unified ledgers, and policy-conditioned money — and why this threatens privacy and liberty. Explore the risks of private “shadow CBDC” stablecoins, the push toward cashless systems, and how social credit-like controls could spread through banking. Learn state-level alternatives, including cash protections and gold and silver “pirate money,” as opt-outs to centralized control.
