Called By Christ To Be ONE: DeSantis warns of government digital currency

Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever

Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.

Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.

Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.

To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.

Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!

Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!

Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

DeSantis warns of government digital currency

John Stossel talks to Florida governor about the Feds' plan for centralized system

President Joe Biden and the media are excited about something new: a Central Bank Digital Currency, or CBDC. It's a currency like Bitcoin, except controlled by the federal government.

Not everyone is a fan.

"Sometimes government does things that may appear to be benevolent but really are kind of like a wolf in sheep's clothing," says Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in my new video. "This is a wolf coming as a wolf."

For months, I've tried to get DeSantis to sit down for an interview. What finally got him to agree was government's plan for digital money.

"If you don't trust central authority," DeSantis says, "then you should see this immediately as something that is very problematic."

Of course, a lot of people do trust central authority. The Biden administration says a CBDC will "protect consumers, investors ... and the environment."

"That last one's a tell," laughs DeSantis, "they would impose ideology certain criteria ... 'You're filling up too much (with gas). Wait a minute – climate change. You can't be doing that! You bought another firearm? No, no, no.'"

Canada's government used its banking system to control people when truckers protested vaccine rules. The government blocked their bank accounts. That stopped the protests.

DeSantis is so upset about the Fed's and Biden's plan for a CBDC he just got Florida's legislature to ban its use in their state.

I ask, "This will be a national issue. Why is it the business of a governor?"

"This is part of our role," he responds, citing federalism. "There's a back and forth between the federal government and the states. We're pushing back about things we don't think are good."

DeSantis questions the CBDC's legality. "The Federal Reserve has come out and said, We would only do it after 'consulting with the legislative and executive branches. Ideally, we'd get specific congressional authorization.' Wait a minute! It's not ideal that you get Congress. That's what the Constitution requires!"

Of course, the media are enthusiastic about a government-controlled CBDC.

CNBC says it will be "as trusted as cash, as convenient as a payment app, yet also benefit from the same blockchain technology which underpins cryptocurrencies."

"When I started talking about some of the dangers from privacy," DeSantis tells me, "the corporate press ... all of a sudden (said) 'DeSantis is trying to promote conspiracy theories!'" MSNBC even called it "unhinged conspiracy theory."

DeSantis wonders why the media even care. "Is it really because they are really that invested in cross-border transactions?" he asks. "Of course not. It's because this is something that could help them advance their ideology of having more central authority ... over the average American."

I push him, "America's going to fall behind!" The Wall Street Journal says America's financial system is outdated and CBDCs will modernize it.

"Oh, please," DeSantis sneers. "They want to move to a cashless society, which would basically mean the Federal Reserve, Treasury Department would have supervisory jurisdiction over all of your transactions."

"Cash is independence," adds DeSantis. "You have the cash in your wallet. ... It's not dependent on somebody else."

In other words, cash is private. So is cryptocurrency, like Bitcoin. People can buy gas and guns without using government money at all.

Advocates of government digital money don't like that.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says, "Legitimate digital public money could help drive out bogus digital private money."

"She clearly would be somebody that rejects any type of digital asset that's not controlled by a central authority," DeSantis responds.

The federal government, says DeSantis, wants "to displace all cryptocurrency because they can't control that," telling me, "the dangers so far outweigh any proposed benefits."

DeSantis and I then talked about many other things, like sex education and what critics call the "Don't Say Gay" law, Florida's anti-mask mandates, America going broke and his flying migrants to Massachusetts.

I will cover those topics in a future column.
