What happened to Americans' rights to privacy? Or does that only apply to abortions?

It seems that the Biden keeps pushing towards the Great Reset.  And it seems our Democrat "friends" are all on board with it as well.  One wonders what they will get out of giving up sovereignty to international communists?  Between guns, climate alarmism, LGTBQxyz ++...and now CBDC.  What, you might ask is CBDC?  As it turns out it is Central Bank Digital Currency, and it is anything but benign.  Andrea Widburg has a post entitled Push back hard against plans to impose Central Bank Digital Currency

The plan is that the federal government would end paper and coin money in favor of purely digital money—all under the government’s control. Suddenly, in addition to your bank’s ATM, you would be dependent on the federal government’s ATM for every penny you possess. It would be the Chinese social credit system and the Canadian “let’s shut down the bank accounts for anyone protesting the government” system all rolled up into one.
Tucker Carlson discussed it on his Friday night show, during which he said, correctly, that it would be the end of America because it would make us all slaves to the government. Do what the government says, and you can buy food and pay rent. Offend the government, and you will be cut off. Suddenly, every American would be a potential January 6 prisoner.

In a different era I would think that both Carlson and Widburg are being paranoid. In another era, American's Constitutional protections would keep your money safe. But this is the not that era. This is the era where the communists are taking over, and our Constitutional rights are ignored. The tyrants jack boots are stepping on America's neck. We already have political prisoners. Now imagine that not only are people put in jail without trial or charges and held for years, but their families funds are simply erased. Now you wife and children get to starve to death while you are kept in prison.

Article I, Section 8, clause 5 grants the power to coin money and regulate the value thereof. One wonders if Congress has had any imput into this scheme, or is this another Executive order situation? And then there's the problem of how the government will ensure the security of your funds. So far no database has been invented that hackers have not been able to crack.

Neither Tucker nor his guest discussed something that would be obvious to me, which is that if money lives on the computer, that computer can be hacked. Can you imagine if a hacker, with the push of a button, starts draining government funds or your personal bank account? Or perhaps the hacker defunds an entire state or stops all payments to members of the military. The risk of a bad outcome is so overwhelming I cannot believe governments are arrogant enough to think they can insulate themselves against it.
Of course, go read Widburg's post. What I want to know, though, is where is that famous right to privacy hidden in the emanations and penumbras of the Constitution when Americans' papers and money are under consideration? Or does that only apply to abortions?

  2. An even more concerning thought, what if you are on Social Security, and count on that money hitting the bank every month to pay bills? And the government decides that you did something so bad, that you deserve punishment, like not get the latest booster vaccine that they scheduled for you, at your local CVS? So they decide to delay your deposit for 2 weeks, the first time.
    Skip your appointment a second time? I hope you have a farm with a crop in the field and a lot of canned goods stored up, and no address that the feds can use to take the property due to failure to pay taxes. Because you can't pay taxes if your account is locked.
    Suddenly, the barter economy that they talked about around 20 years ago, with the prepper movement starts to look like it might be worth a second glance.

  3. Absolutely. Look what Canada did to the truck drivers.. And it's Not even all digital yet. Turned Off insurance and stopped their cards so they couldn't buy fuel. Coming to a neighborhood near you, just as fast as they can shove it through. Oh,and you are the worst kind of conspiracy theorist. One who is going to be proven right.
