Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Mark Mas Show. We're always talking about the decentralized revolution, looking at the world through politics, finance, and technology to find the signal through the noise. We're looking at some of the latest breaking news headlines this week, and I got some big stories that I want to cover. Man, these these stories are really so much bigger than just the actual story. And I'm going to break down some of
these things that are happening in the world today. But I'm gonna bring them into context so you can understand how they're not just loan pieces. They're much much, much much bigger pieces of a much much bigger story. So we're gonna cover the autoworker strike. It is not what you think it is. It's much much bigger than that. We're gonna break that down. We're gonna look at some
of the censorship pieces that was going on. I want to look at what the FED and the other central banks have just decided to do.
We're gonna cover.
A whole bunch of stuff I covered here. We'll break it down. You don't want to miss it, so don't tune out. But I'm gonna brea get down first by talking about what the heck is going on in the United States and Canada. What's going on in the United States and Canada. So in the US, we're starting to see a lot of signs, and I want to connect a couple dots for you here. What do automobiles have in common with food and groceries? And what is the
US have in common with Canada? Well, don't worry, I'll break that down for you.
So you're probably already aware, you know you could.
You can go catch the news headlines anywhere, right you can just brew browse CNN or Fox or wherever you want to get your news, and you can get the news stories. But no one's going to connect the dots for you like I'm going to do right now. So what do we got going on here? We have the UAW, the United Auto Workers. They're on a big strike, as a targeted strike is a planet is going to affect
all the big auto manufacturers. It began with about one hundred and forty five thousand workers walking out of three auto plants in hopes of you know, getting paid more money. Now, again that's the news. But what happened well about a decade ago, automakers were, you know, on the verge of bankruptcy. As a matter of fact, GM was going bankrupt. The government had to step in to save them. There was a big agreement to accept the contracts that no longer
tied workers pay to inflation. Now, if they didn't do this, they were going to lose their job. So I guess they went ahead and just did this. Now was this a bad deal? I don't know. I'm not going to dig into that doesn't really matter at this point. But here's what matters. They didn't tie their wages to inflation, and so what.
Does that mean.
That means that the auto workers are losing money on a regular basis, so their pay is going up. As a matter of fact, the US autoworkers manufacturing production lines earned about twenty eight dollars per hour in average. That was in August. It's up a dollar from the previous year. So their pay went up a dollar the average autoworker. But the problem is that inflation, the cost of living
went up even faster. Now, if we go back to two thousand and seven or earlier, we can see that they're making anyone had started in about two thousand and seven or earlier, which was pre this contract being agreed on. Any of those people are now making about thirty three dollars an hour on average.
Now these are summaries for the Big Three.
Now, like I said, these are people that worked before two thousand and seven and they were part of the lower tier, so they were earning about seventeen dollars an hour back then. Now they're making about thirty three dollars an hour, which means they've been increasing their pay by about six percent annually. But the problem is, again, inflation has been going up higher. The promise of low inflation was broken by the government, so the government got them
into this deal. But because the government can't stop spending money, the Biden administration spending more money than anyone ever in history. But Trump did before him, and Obama died before him, and Bush did before him.
That's just the way it goes.
They're spending so much money so fast, inflation is raging so high that it's not helping these workers out. They're losing money. And these are the guys that are producing real goods and services. So while cars have been going okay, overall, the workers have been losing money.
And this is the problem.
So when you see wages, and not just for auto workers, for everybody has been going down even though their pay is going up. Their real wages, when adjusted for inflation, have been going down because the cost of steaks and milk and cheese and houses and gasoline and all those things are going up faster than their pay is. So when you adjust it for those things, you see that they're actually making less and less and less. All right, So that's problem number one, But we have some other problems.
Now.
The other problem is, like I said, what does that have to do with groceries. Well, someone that I had on my show just recently, I think it was last week, actually, Peter saint On, which, by the way, Pete and I are both speaking at the Bitcoin conference in Amsterdam coming up in just a couple of weeks. So I'm looking forward to hanging out with you, Peter. If you're listening, and anybody who's going to be in Europe are going to be in Ampsdam, I'd love to hear from me.
Hit me up on social media, let me know.
But anyway, he.
Put out an article talking about the breakdown of what's going on with these grocery stores, specifically in Chicago. So in Chicago, the mayor announced plans for a government run grocery store. Why, well, it's the same problem that Canada's happening with their grocery stores. You see how all this
is tied together. Well, how is that tied together with autoworkers. Well, it appears that the problem in Canada is the same problem in Chicago and the United States for that matter, which is that food prices are going up so fast that people can't afford to live anymore, not live the way they used to. Instead of eating steak, now they got to eat rice and beans or whatever. Right, And so in Canada it's getting hit particularly hard, much harder
than the United States. But in the United States happening as well. And so you saw justin True go on the news over the last couple of weeks saying that he's going to demand that these grocery stores stop raising prices.
How dare these greedy grocery.
Stores sell for such high prices when people in Canada are struggling to live. That's the rally crying. That's the rally cry a communist dictator, that's what the rally cry is. Now, if these grocery stores were so greedy making all this profit, then wouldn't another grocery store just open up and charge
less prices, because that's how competition works. The reason why the groceries are so expensive and people can't afford him is because of inflation, because the governments can't stop printing money, okay, so as they contin to print more money, it pushes the cost of goods and services up. In addition to particularly in Canada, but in the United States as well, the massive amounts of onerous red tape and bureaucracy that's put onto these businesses, they also push their prices up.
When I have all these legal restrictions and all these forms and files, and not have to hire all these people for all these inclusions and all these diversity trainings, all these reports. It costs money to do that. And in order to make a business that actually turns the profit, I have to raise the prices of my goods and services.
That's it.
When the cost of my lettuce goes up and the cost of my labor goes up, I have to sell the lettuce for a profit. And that just is what it is. The governments are the ones causing the prices to go up with their red tape in bureaucracy and with their money endless money printing in bureaucracy. But Trudeau wants to come in and be the savior and say these greedy business owners, we're going to take them over.
Now that might sound familiar.
It's the same thing that Vladimir Lenin said in Russia, same thing that Mouse said in China, the same thing that Hitler said in Germany. And it's the same thing that Trudeau is challenged today. The government should just take it over, which is the exact same thing the Chicago marriage just said. He wants government run grocery stores because the people can't afford to pay the fees anymore sort of. Another reason is because the shoplifters continue to steal so much. So
why is all this happening? How is the grocery Well, I just connected the gro stores in Chicago and the United States and Canada. But how does that What does that have to do with autos? What's the same thing. All around the world, we have this massive migrant problem going on. It's all the same thing. Because the United States is printing so much dollars. We just increased to two tillion dollars deficit Inflation in the US.
Is really really bad, but because we have the reserve.
Currency of the world, it's not as bad here as it is in Canada and Europe. Inflation is way worse in Canada and the UK and Canada than it is here. But those are those are top G seven countries. It's even way worse in G twenty countries. It's even way worse in the Global South. When you get into Africa and you get into South America, they're having massive famine, they're having political coups happening because the money is broken down.
This is all because the governments can't quit printing money.
This is it.
So now you can't afford groceries in Chicago, you cantifford in Canada. You can't afford to work on the auto line anymore at an auto manufacturer. You can't afford to live in Africa, so you're going to move to Europe. And this is all because the money is broken And you know.
Don't let a crisis a good waste.
So by the way, let's just blame the greedy businesses and we'll just take them over and have a government run business structure, sort of like what happened in communist Russia. Yeah, something like that. If you're just tune in your listening to the Mark Mas Show, we're breaking down some of the latest breaking news headlines this week as we look at the politics, finance, and technology converging. We're back with more a minute. Don't go away, We're back, all right,
Welcome back. If you just tune in, you're listening to the Mark Mas Show, we're running through some of the latest breaking news headlines this week so you can understand what is going on now Again, you can go get these news headlines from anywhere. You can turn on CNN and they'll read you the news headlines. They might mislead you or omit some key facts, but they don't explain what it is in context of what's really going on.
That's what I'm trying to do here. That's what we did in this last segment and this week I'm sorry for segment. We're digging into more stories that sort of build on the theme that we just talked about.
We talked about the auto workers striking.
We talked about the mayor of Chicago and the President of Canada Trudeau, both went into nationalize literally nationalized takeover the grocery stores, the food industry, and all of that is because of the massive amount of money printing that's been happening. So now let's look at some other big breaking news that happened this week about the money printing.
So we know the Federal Reserve, the Central Bank of the United States, the ECB, which is the European Central Bank, and then you have the BOJ which is the Bank of Japan. Those are the three largest central banks in the world. They're really the only central banks that matter. They're the tier one banks. There's a lot of other central banks, but they just don't have enough money or policy that really matter. And really the FED and the
ECB are the big ones. The BOJ has been just constantly easing and buying all their bonds in the stocks, so it's like we already know what they're doing. They've never gone into a tightening, but the FED and the ECB, both with Europe, the UK and the US dealing with massive amounts of inflation, had to do something. So they decided that they would try to tighten. Tighten the monetary policy.
They try to bring this loose monetary policy, slow the economy down, make people lose their jobs, make your rate of pay go down, make your stock accounts worth less money? Who stop spending money so prices can come back down. The problem is that while the FED and the ECB, while the central banks are doing that, it's not your spending that's causing the problem. It's the government. It's the treasury.
The US Treasury will not stop spending money. As a matter of fact, the US deficit, meaning the amount of money they're spending over the amount of income they have coming in just hit two trillion dollars. Wow, two trillion dollars they are spending. The US government is spending now more than fifty percent more than they were spending just pre pandemic. Let's just let's say you live one hundred air now you're gonna spen one hundredy g an ayear and you're gonna borrow that fifty grand a year.
Like That's basically where we're at.
So the FED has been trying to tighten things, but the government it continues to spend. But here's the key piece here. Obviously, inflation hasn't been slowing down. As a matter of fact, inflation is going back up now. Inflation has caused lots of problems auto workers they can't afford to live. They're striking, which is gonna guess what make prices go up even more? Interesting enough, so they may get the pay they want. But then it pushes the cost of the cars up higher. So did they really
get a pay raise. Well, they're taking more dollars home, but those dollars buy less. But what's the Fed gonna do? Well, the Fed decided they've been on this warpath of tightening.
Trying to slow things down. So all eyes are on the Fed. What are they gonna do?
Are they gonna hike rates again? Well, this week they decided to put a pause on it. They decide to hold interra straight steady at the five point twenty five to five point five percent range. But they said, maybe, maybe, maybe we might we might hike again. We might. We don't know, but we might.
There's a chance.
So here we have the most important central bank in the world. The Fed said, we might be done tightening.
We might be.
We're going to pause for now. We might hike in the future, but we're going to pause for now. The ECB, the second most important central bank of the world, they also decided to pause. As a matter of fact, they hiked again, but they said that they're not going to raise anymore. So we have inflation raging. The auto workers are striking, the grocery stores are being nationalized because of inflation.
They're trying to slow inflation down. And here we have the two most important central banks in the world, who are a lot of the cause of this, that have been trying to stop it, are now seemingly to throw in the towel. Are they done?
They're going to quit now again.
The FED says they could come back, they could come back and raise rates one more time, but we don't know they're Drone Powell, the head of the Federals review some metaphor at the Wyoming meeting, like we're go saying something about we're.
Navigating by the stars under the night.
Sky or something like that, like we're just reading the tea leaves, like whatever. The data says, we'll do this now. If we look at the FED rate monitor tool, it says that a cut to five or five and a quarter basis points becomes the most likely scenario by June of twenty twenty four and by the November twenty twenty four meeting, which is surprisingly or i should say non surprisingly, US election time, the FED funds target will be down to four point five to four point seventy five, so
potentially three cuts happening. This is what the projections are. This is sort of what the market's pricing in and what the market's betting on. So while the Fed decided to hold steady, the markets are betting. The markets are predicting that they'll be cutting by next year. Now, while that sounds good, historically, it's not so historically when the FED starts to cut, unfortunately, then a crash comes. Now it's not causation, it's the difference of correlation versus causation.
In my opinion, it's correlation not causation because it's actually lagging. So what happens is the FED has been tightening, tightening, tight tight, and it has a lag effect. It takes twelve to eighteen months to really see the effects of those tightenings come through. Now, once they felt like they've done enough, or in this case, they've probably done way too much, they decide to stop.
Then things start.
Getting really bad and they're like.
Oh crap, we went way too high. We shouldn't have gone that high. Uh quick reverse reverse, reverse.
And they do but the damage is already done because this isn't like a little car that you can zip around. It's more like an aircraft carrier. You need, you know, fifty miles to turn this thing. So by the time they see this sign is coming that they went too far and they reverse course again, it takes twelve to eighteen months, and so the damage is already done. So
that's that's kind of where we're at now. The markets are sort of in agreement with the Feds, you know, dot plots or basically what they're projecting as these interestrates to happen, which potentially this pause has been good. So are they going to pause and how long will they pause?
And so it looks like this could potentially be good for some of the risk on assets specifically, like bitcoin is probably the most priced sensitive risk on asset, which is I mean, it's still sort of stuck in this range, but we can see, you know, it's in this twenty five twenty six thousand dollars range. But I think, you know, we're probably going to stay in this choppy market for a while until the Fed really kind of decides what's going to go on. And we're seeing that in the
stock market right now. But we also, like I said, seen it with the ECB. So at what point do we have now all three central banks, the BOJ, the ECB and the FED all loosening, And my guess is probably next year. Now this is in light at the same time that the US national debt hit thirty three trillion for the first time in history, and the interest, just the interest on the national debt is almost a trillion dollars.
Now.
Just forty years ago the debt was only nine hundred billion. As a matter of fact, it took from the date the government was founded, if you want to look at seventy seventy six, or if you look at like when the feders created ninety thirteen, all the way to nineteen eighty one for the government to get to one trillion in debt. So it took, however, many years, hundreds of years to get to one hundred, to get to one trillion.
The government just added three trillion in the last three months. Crazy, right, Crazy. Tuning in to listen to the Mark Maus Show where it run in through some of the latest breaking news headlines this week so you can understand what is going on in the world and what comes next so you can plan and prepare to save yourself, to save your family, to save your friends, and have a better future. I got a lot more to cover when I come back, but I'm going to take a very quick break.
Don't go away, I'll be right back, all right, Welcome back.
If you're just tuning in, you're listening to the Mark Mass Show breaking down some of the latest breaking news headlines this week. And uh, I got some big headlines this week that well, I've read through a couple of stories already that are are big and they're scary.
And they mean some big things are happening.
And this next story is it is really scary and it's very very telling of exactly where we are.
And again, you can read the news.
Headlines anywhere, but I want to tell you what they mean, and I want to bring to them. I want to bring the context. And what am I talking about here? You might have heard of Russell Brand and what's happening with him this week?
Right?
So Russell Brand, obviously you know a famous actor, musician. Now he's a commentator. He got to hit with some accusations this week of potential sexual misconduct a decade ago or more and he's come under massive attack. Now that might just seem like a story. You might think that he's being unfairly targeted because.
Of his ideological views.
But just how big and how deep does this go? And that's the part I want to bring context to you for now you have to realize what is.
Going on here.
First of all, So Russell Brand, like I said, famous actor, musician, whatever like look, I mean, he he was famous for being a drug addict, alcoholic and having all kinds of like wild sexual experiences. He was open about a vocal about it, I think, talked about it in books. I
mean very very very open about it. So you would think that during that time and doing those things, you would have heard about, you know, potential sexual misconduct happening, Like at the time it was happening, you know, potentially he did some things that might be outside the normal thing. Right. We don't know. However, now today we see multiple women are accusing him of sexual assault, emotional abuse, going all back from two thousand and six to twenty thirteen. Now,
I don't know UK law. I think in the United States there's you know, statute of limitations, which I think that's way longer than that like typically like, hey, if this happened to me, I should probably go talk about it now, not from two thousand and six to now, what is that, you know what? A fifteen years later? But these accusations they come not from the individual people, but from a joint investigation by the Sunday Times and
Channel four. Now Russell Brand, of course, obviously strongly denies this. He says, hey, look, I did some crazy sexual things. I talked about him at the time, but like, I never did this. That's that's the high level story. You can go read that anywhere, but here the important part what happened since then? So this is an allegation allegedly
per some investigative reporter, allegedly he did these things. Now in the United States, and I believe in the UK as well, we're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, and that's proven.
By beyond the shadow of a doubt.
So in court that must be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, and I'm innocent until that has happened. Well, we don't even have charges filed, there's not even there's not even an indictment. This is just an allegation that was made and all of a sudden, just like clockwork,
YouTube demonetized brands channel. Now, Russell Brand has over six and a half million subscribers on YouTube and he makes content talking about issues that nobody wants you to talk about, so vaccines, the wars, the election, things like that, which are obviously topics they would like him to stop talking about. So it seems sort of weird that YouTube would just demonetize his entire channel. But's even weirder than that is
why would they do that? So allegedly a news report shows that he had sexual misconduct fifteen years ago and then they shut off his ability to make money. Now, it wasn't just nicely lenocent and this is where you have to start paying attention. So YouTube did that, Well, why does YouTube have any to do with what's going on with an alleged thing with the Channel four news
over in the UK. Shortly after that, the chair of Culture, Media and Sports Committee in the UK Parliament, So the UK Parliament sent letters to x, Twitter, the BBC, TikTok, gb News, Channel four and Rumble and in this letter they asked if Russell Brand was able to monetize his content on those platforms. They said, quote, let me read
it to you. While we recognize that TikTok is not the creator of the content published by mister brand, and his content may be within the community guidelines set up by the platform, we're concerned that he may be able to profit from his content on the platform.
So let's think about that.
So we understand that you know, his content may be totally within your guidelines, but what we're concerned on is he may be able to profit. Huh So since when is being allegedly accused of a crime mean you can't work? So now all of a sudden, you're supposed to be a innocent of profa guilty. But now if you're even alleged, not even indicted, not even charged, alleged to have done something wrong, you can't work anymore. You can't make money.
So it works.
Like what kind of world is now? Let me be clear, I have three sisters, I have two daughters. Like you know, sexual misconduct or assault is no laughing matter by any means. And these allegations, I mean, I guess they're serious, right, I mean if it was my daughter, my sister, I'd want them to do serious. And so these accusers should have every single legal right to an investigation, right, so I guess, I mean, I don't know about the statue limitations.
I'm not an attorney in London, but maybe there's something there. But you know, normally this should be taken seriously and so there should be some sort of criminal proceedings. There should be an investigation, and there might be after the investigation, there might be some criminal proceedings if the evidence that's been found, you know, warrants that if it merits that.
But again, Brand is innocent until proven guilty, and social media platforms and governments should have zero power to strip him of his ability to make money.
Right, I would think so.
I would think that democratic governments should not have the ability, should not have the power, should not want to try to step in front of that. I think it's completely inappropriate for representatives of that to use big tech to punish people for again alleged miscontact. I think doing so violates the fundamental process of due process. This is a legal principle that goes all the way back to thirteen fifty four in the Magna Carta established by British King
Edward the third. But just because someone alleged it, they took it down. Now, on Twitter this week, MMA legend Jake Shields claimed with a funny tweet. I really liked it, he said. Former New zeal if I said, former New Zealand Prime Minister Yacinda hart Arden raped me seventeen years ago. YouTube should immediately censor all of her videos. Now, the irony there is Yasinda Hardin is the one that goes to the UN and demands that we take away free
speech right. So hey, if we allege that she did this, Hey she rate me seventeen years ago, then should YouTube also censor her stuff?
Do you think that would happen?
Maybe we should try that. If you're listening, go ahead, file that report alleged. Let's see what happens. I highly doubt that's what will happen. But the problem, again, let me put this in context for you, isn't just Russell brand just the fact that he lost his demonetization is a big problem. But what the bigger problem is the direction in which we're going, the pattern that's being established here. In twenty twenty two, Justin Trudeau froze the bank accounts
of the Freedom Convoy truckers. British banks recently shut down the banks of Brexit campaign and Nigel Farage again for his ideological views. Nothing legal that he did wrong, nothing financial, same as what Trudeau did to the convoy truckers. They didn't do anything illegal, it was the ideological views that they had.
My friend I've had on.
The show, doctor Joseph Marcola, had his bank accounts shut down for.
The same reason.
He didn't do anything wrong legally, didn't do anything wrong financially, but for ideological reasons. We see the White House in the United States Department of Homeland Security Center's Disease Control demanding even more online censorship of populist voices anyone that resists the narrative, such as you know, COVID measures.
Things like that.
But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Like I said, this is a this is the direction that's going. I got a lot more to cover in this story. You don't want to miss this because it gets even deeper. I'll be back with more in a minute. Don't go away, all right, welcome back. If you just tune in, you're listening to the Mark Moss Show, and we'll running through some of the latest breaking news stories of the week, and I'm breaking down the story of what happened with
Russell Brand and the bigger story past that. Like I said, you can read these news headline on their own. You can go read the story from wherever you want to get your news from. But they're not going to give you the context of this. Let me just continue breaking this down. So this isn't just an isolated case, right, this is the pattern, This is the direction. As I said, this is doctor mccolla getting his bank count shut down, not for any financial or legal problem, just they don't
like a ideological view. Nisol Farage had his bank count shut down over in Europe. Justin Trudeau shut down the bank counts of the Trucker protests. Right, So this is happening. Anybody that's talking outside their narrative, they're coming after now. At the same time, governments around the world, the central banks are moving to central bank digital currencies cbdc's and digital IDs, both of these things at the same time. Now, these two things together are potentially the final death nail
in freedom as we know it. The marriage of these two the digital currency and the digital ID equals social credit scores, which are already used in China.
They've been used for a long time.
We've talked about that extensively, but they make it easy for big tech, big banks, and big government to basically go after anybody that they don't like. Doesn't matter if you're convicted of a crime in China, doesn't matter, if you're convictive of a crime, if they're if you're social caredit core drops. You can't get a bus ticket, a
train ticket, doesn't matter. So why is this happening? Well, the reason why is the managerial class, which you may consider the administrative state, bureaucratic state, the deep state, whatever you want to call it. The professional managerial class, elites in the government who are not elected. We can't vote them out. They have the power. They're using their authoritarian, extra judicial tactics to silence and punish anybody that they don't like. It's a war of the elites against the
populace against the people. It's what I fram up all the time. It's we, the people versus the government.
That's it. They the elites, they.
The bureaucratic, the administrative state, the professional managerial class. They think that services like the Internet and banking and access to financial services, and like other public goods. They seem to think that it's not a right. They seem to think that they have the control of that, and they should be able to use that how they want. And they think that they should be able to use these co op these coherce these platforms to enforce their will.
They want to weaponize the Internet to rein in any political dissent. At the end of the road that we're on is a government administered social credit score system, which is not funny, but ironically it's exactly what Brand is warning us about.
All right, It's exactly the.
Same thing under that type of an agreement, Under that type of a social credit core system, where you have the CBDC and the digital ad put together. Basically, the governments, this managerial class well have all the digital tools that they need to push people to conform to these norms. Anyone who would express an opinion that would offend this government would automatically find themselves not able to use these
tools like the Internet, for example. The managerial class is so desperate to maintain power and control over the narrative because it's all lies. Look if it was good for you, if they if it was true, they wouldn't have to lie to you. They wouldn't have to coerce you. The very fact that they have to control this narrative shows you the true intentions. They want to control this, and they're not happy that the Internet has given us the
power to have this information. Imagine, knowledge is power. We have all this knowledge at our fingertips.
The power that we have, the people have the power. They don't want you to have the power.
They want the power only for themselves. They want the Internet ripped from your hands. These political leaders, they want to reassert their dominance over the online conversation.
We know this.
It's been revealed. We saw on the Twitter files. We saw all the details there. We see it in the actions that they're having. We see it in the when they brought Matt Tayibe and Michael Schellenberger forward in front of congressional hearings and asked them to reveal their sources, they persecuted and send the IRUs to their house and all these things.
We see this.
We see again justin Trudeau, with his actions, he showed that a Western government, supposedly a free democratic government, was able, and not just able, but willing to basically do what Edward Snowden warned us about Edward Snoden had to leave the country because he warned the people this was coming, and here it is turn key tyranny. So so the governments have the ability to basically push a button and enforce compliance. They don't need to pass laws, they don't
have to have courts. This doesn't have the laws. They're just doing it on their own. YouTube just took away Russell Brand's ability to make money with no precedents. He didn't break any laws, he didn't do anything, and they did them. Now Brand seems to be too big the censor, so they just take away his ability to make money. They can't stop him, but they can certainly give him financial punishment. Now again, if Russell Brand, you know, did this,
then you know, let's hold him accountable. But there should be due process. YouTube rumble. The British government should not be able to go around the Biden administration should not be able to go around and prosecute their political rivals. It's sort of like what's happening in Donald Trump, sort of like what happened to Paxton, the attorney general in Texas.
They're literally interfering with with with the president. You know, their main opposition, the political rival the president while at the same time interfering with the prosecution of his own son.
Now, where does this go.
Well. In the end, this crackdown is a cultural reaction from the professional managerial class, and it's the institutions that they control that's it.
In their view, the professional elites.
View the ordinary people, the working class people, as a completely different class of people. They see them as a threat. Again, you should not, you me, We the people should not have this powerful weapon of the internet in our hands.
Now.
Again, the combination of these two things make it very dangerous. So right now there's one hundred and thirty countries we're exploring CBDCs, ninety percent of the population. At the same time, the World Health Organization the WHO is adopting e USE Digital certification system for its Global Health Certificate. The g twenty agreed to put in a Global Health Certificate Use
and Use USAID to promote digital ID systems. Okay, several US states, including California, Arizona, Louisiana, and Maryland are making plans for state digital IDs. This is not some French thing. This is what's happening with a combination. As I said, the unholy pairing of cbdc's and digital IDs governments will have all the power they need to sevelop every single transaction and literally have a button they could push to just clamp down on anybody they don't like.
They don't like what you said, just like in China they don't like what you said.
Hey Russell Bank, we don't like you said online. Hey Mark, they probably don't like what I'm saying right now, take away your ability to make money. Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Glenn Greenwald a left wing journalist. By the way, he said, since when do Western political officials have the power to impose extra legal punishment on people for alleged crimes they've never even been charged with? He said, What gives the US and UK officials the right to demand that tech
companies remove or demonetize speakers? Now the same has to go for the banks. How can the banks just take people's bank accounts away like doctor Mrcola or Nigel Farage. They can just debank people now. Typically banks were not allowed to discriminate for racial, religious, sexual identities, but they can for ideological reasons.
If this isn't a wake.
Up call, I don't know what is the pairing of these two things, digital IDs and CBDCs. It's not a thing of myth. They're working on it.
I just read it to you.
The G twenty agreed on this, and if this comes into place.
It's not going to look good. However, we have an answer.
We have bitcoin, so we don't have to use CBDCs. We have bitcoin. If I didn't have bitcoin in this world today, if we didn't have it in this world, I would be very scared. But we have a tool to win. What we need is to wake each other up. As long as we can continue to spread this information and let people know, make them aware of what's going on. Then as they see this continue to roll in, they recognize it. We have the power and the tools that we need. What they can really do is take away
our ability to transact in their financial system. But we don't have to use their financial system. We don't have to use the CBDCs they have because we have bitcoin and we will win. If you're just tuning in, you listening to the Mark Mash Show running through some of the latest breaking news headlines this week, that's what I got for this hour. Hopefully this makes sense and hopefully it charges you up to go do something about it.
That's what I got.
