DIGITAL TYRANNY TRAJECTORY

Chuck Crismier: A digital euro is moving closer to reality as parliamentary committee votes, yes, or we in the French. OUI, we, for let's go for it. The digital Euro has moved a step closer to reality with the European Parliament. Their economic and monetary affairs committee having given a green light to the Eurozone Central Bank Digital Currency, CBDC. The but the political and legislative buy-in is required before it can launch across 21 member Eurozone as a Central Bank-backed alternative to cash. Under an assumption that Europe's co-legislators adopt a regulation on the establishment of the digital Euro this year, it should then be ready for potential first issuance of the digital Euro during 2029, friends, three years from now, according to the Central Bank last October. Well, then there is testing, they'll be trials slated around mid-2027. A first live issuance of the European Central Bank could occur by 2029 if regulations pass, according to the government global government establishment. The global government finance, the high profile digital money initiative has been spearheaded by the European Central Bank over the past five years. Then we have a letter, a long letter. I guess it comes almost in the form of a letter. It's addressed by the Kiara Scotty, the Deputy Governor of Banca de Italia. In other words, the Bank of Italy. It's called digital money in the architecture of trust. It's all about trust, friends. How in the world is the world going to trust digital money? Well, it's going to happen incrementally. I got to thinking about this and came to the conclusion, I would call this digital incrementalism. So I decided to Google that term, and indeed I wasn't the first one to come up with the idea or the term. Here it is. Digital incrementalism is a strategy of modernizing technology and processes through small, step-by-step updates rather than massive disruptive overhauls. This approach lowers financial risk, speeds up return on investment and let's team adapt to user feedback over time. And gradually changes prevent staff and customer burnout, building confidence and trust. There it is, friends, today's viewpoint program. Digital tyranny trajectory, incrementalism driving the inevitable. And indeed, it goes right along with Planteer's technological Republic that they're seeking to establish for the world. The surveillance company's unapologetic dystopian vision for the future is just 1994 updated for the AI era. I welcome you to Viewpoint. I'm Chuck Crismier. Conversation with ever-increasing conviction talk that transforms, and I know that that's a lot to absorb just in the first couple of minutes of the program. But indeed, our friend Christian Briggs is going to help us understand the depths of this perhaps seemingly complex and misunderstandable or lack of understanding concerning the digital world and what's happening. But indeed, digital incrementalism is happening, and it's happening as we speak, right in front of our eyeballs. What does it look like? How is it taking place in the United States of America, if at all? Are we being protected from the inevitable that seems to be from from the incrementalism that seems to be inevitable? Or are we just being, shall we say, gradually protected until the inevitable comes upon like a tsunami upon the United States of America? Christian Briggs joining us to talk about this issue. Christian, it's good to have you back on the program.
Guest (Male): Chuck, I love being on your program. This is going to be a great show today and a great topic.
Chuck Crismier: Well, this matter of incrementalism, as I was thinking about it, this is not something that's just unique to the digital world. This is how shall we say, Satan himself works. He doesn't come in hitting you over the head usually. He comes in gradually. He slides in like a serpent sliding in, finding cracks to slide in, and once he gets in, it's like the camel's nose in the tent door, and once that happens, things take over rather quickly. So incrementalism is a gradual way, for instance, the immorality takes over a country, the immorality has taken over the church. So many different things have happened that way, and that's how digital, this digital world is coming in, isn't it?
Guest (Male): Yeah, so if if the the understanding, and this is an if, because a lot of people don't understand it. So we always say, if we were to see it in plain sight, we would understand what's coming at us. But that's not how governments work. That's not how nefarious acts are committed by bad actors. That's not how it works.
Chuck Crismier: Well, that's not how Satan worked in the garden either.
Guest (Male): That's right.
Chuck Crismier: He actually got Eve on board by asking her what God had said. He was very interested in what God had said, right?
Guest (Male): Well, he was interested in creating a conversation. I think that sounded like an like like an engagement in conversation. You understand that?
Chuck Crismier: Exactly. Isn't that exactly what we're doing with the whole digital issue?
Guest (Male): Chuck, you you you and I have spoken, we've met, we've broken bread. You understand. You understand my background. You understand that I do do a lot of work for for some places in DC that I'm not at liberty to say quite yet. But let's just say that what I know now is that no government who takes power away from the people, whether it's freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of gun ownership. In this case, freedom of private, transactable monetary policy. They never give the power back.
Chuck Crismier: Right.
Guest (Male): They never do. Once they receive the power, they never take it and say, you know what? We did we we messed up. You know what, Chuck? We're good guys. You're good guys. Give the power back to the to the citizens. Never happened. Administrations will change, but power does not go back and exchange itself.
Chuck Crismier: Well, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts, absolutely, doesn't it?
Guest (Male): And we have absolute power when you start to put together. Think about this for a second. President Trump goes in the first term. The fact, well I take that back. It was about a week after he announced he was running for president. Not second, but a week or two after, Obama put together the most clandestine Black Ops you'll ever see or hear about. He got the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, the DOJ rallied up and said, we're going to put this guy 6 ft under. He'll never be president. Do this, do this, do this, do this. And Hillary and Bill Clinton were right there at the head of the sphere. They were part of the whole equation. And that tells you just how corrupted our system is. It hasn't changed. Trump is fighting the fight. And so they distracted him in term one, so they could win term two. Which they didn't win it by the way of which you normally win elections, which is more votes than the other guy. They won by cheating and corruptive way of which to do mail-in ballots, which by the way, were printed in China, flown over on 747 cargo planes. That's how they did it.
Chuck Crismier: All right. We'll pick up on that surreptitious note here after the break. Stay tuned, friends. We're talking with Christian Briggs, who happens to be the CEO of Hard Asset Management, rare coins and precious metals. We'll talk more about that as we get into the program. Stay tuned. This is Viewpoint.
Chuck Crismier: Once upon a time, children could pray and read their Bibles in school. Divorces were practically unknown as was child abuse. In our once great America, virginity and chastity were popular virtues, and homosexuality was an abomination. So what happened in just one generation? Hi, I'm Chuck Crismier, and I urge you to join me daily on Viewpoint, where we discuss the most challenging issues touching our hearts and homes. Could America's moral slide relate to the Fourth Commandment? Listen to Viewpoint on this radio station or anytime at saveus.org.
Chuck Crismier: One of the fundamentals of mankind and our understanding of history and prophecy is that government cannot be trusted. Unless you want to put it this way, government could always be trusted not to be trusted. It can always be trusted not to be trusted. Now you say, well, doesn't the Apostle Paul tell us in Romans 13 that government is there for our good to award those who do good and to punish those who do bad? Yes, that is the purpose of government. But government made of mankind who are sinners and who are unregenerated sinners are always going to end up corrupting. That's the nature of it. That's why we need to be redeemed. That's why we need a savior. And even that isn't completely redemptive, because people still sin, rebel, and are selfish. So when we take a look at government, and we take a look at the role of government in crafting money, and in controlling money, and the transaction of money, and how that money, what that money looks like, then all of a sudden we have this issue that bring that is brought in by our founders, who said they didn't trust government. Did you know that America's founders did not trust government? They didn't. And that's why they created a government of checks and balances. That was their whole purpose. They gave us a republic, not a democracy. Because a democracy could not be controlled, it would be the mob. They called it a mobocracy. So we needed a a set of checks and balances to at least restrain the sinful nature of humankind in the government of other people. Now that's as far as we could go. At this point in time, within our own government, there are strong forces out there to eliminate those checks and balances with intent. They're being announced all over the country, if you have an ear to hear, that's what they want to do. The whole Democrat socialist group wants to get rid of all the checks and balances so that there can be nothing more than a mobocracy under the word democracy. When all of that occurs, or within the spirit of that, we have this discussion today concerning the matter of digital money. And the architecture of digital money. You may not have known the word architecture is related to money. I was not aware of that either until I got this very lengthy paper from our special guest today Christian Briggs, called the Clarity Act and the architecture of digital money. And it's a policy analysis, market structure, and stable coins and financial surveillance and the risk of CBDCs and all of this kind of stuff that seems to go over our heads. And so Christian Briggs is going to give us his bird's-eye view to help us understand as laypersons what he understands from his everyday work. Christian, we're looking at something here that is nefarious, aren't we?
Guest (Male): Oh, listen. I'm going to say this. I want to make sure this is very clear to every listener when I say this, listen close. Once you go socialist, once you go communist, the repercussions will last decades, even if you reverse it within a reasonable time. Once you go digital, there is no reversal, because once cash is gone. Once we eliminate a transactional opportunity from A to B, from buyer to seller, and so forth, you will never go back, because the mark of the beast is a digital format. A serial number that'll be associated with you. Now, I don't know if it's going to be on your forehead, but it might be where John was talking about something like an iPhone, or a Google phone. Is on your head?
Chuck Crismier: Well, something something's going to be on our head or on our right hand, and we don't know precisely what form it will take. But we know that in order to implement the requirements of the prophetic requirements of Revelation chapter 13 that are all economic, it's going to have to be digital. That's the only way to choreograph the world into one economy.
Guest (Male): Yes. And that is exactly what that is. That's that that phone that we use now as a computer, communicator, entertainer, uh, a a loneliness provider, whatever you want to call it with the short form, long form, communicative way of which it it does and holds all of our information. That is become the mark of the beast, because every one of those phones is uniquely serialized with a special number that is unique to you. Remember that. That phone has a serial number, so they can track bad things by bad people. Okay, I'm okay with that. But that gives them also the right to watch and listen to anything we're talking about. Okay?
Chuck Crismier: You know, as you say that, I'm thinking of a gentleman who has become quite successful, and he operates his entire business from his cell phone. Doesn't really even have an office. He operates his entire business from his cell phone. That's him. And imagine what would happen in a digital world in which everything he does, everything he claims to have or control, is actually under the control of someone else, like a One World Government.
Guest (Male): Mm-hm.
Chuck Crismier: It's amazing.
Guest (Male): And and that is that that is exactly what to expect. You know, I went on the record a while back, about six years ago. And I said, by 2030, which is the World Economic Forum's own date, when they made two statements, two statements, and everybody thought, oh, this was 10, 15 years ago, they're they're full of it. If you look at when the World Economic Forum started, it was a few months prior then when Richard Nixon took us off the gold standard. They knew that was coming. The legislation was coming. So they started WEF in conjunction with China. They're working with China and North Korea and several other communist, socialist and and really dictatorship or dictator-like regimes. Okay? A lot of people in the Middle East, a lot of families in the Middle East as well. They knew that was the end of the United States. In the sense that it was a permanent decline. The reason is, the dollar has lost 99% of its buying power over the last 60 years. So it was exactly what was what was foretold. And now fast forward, we have ourselves in a predicament where we have 40 trillion dollars in debt nearly. We're going to have to do something with it. And the only way to really get rid of that debt and or, well we can default, which is not really good option last I checked, is we're going to take that debt, we're going to roll that into some type of a a currency, a digital currency, push it over to the Federal Reserve, and probably just get rid of it altogether. But bottom line is, we're moving into a digital age, Chuck, that is going to have debanking capabilities, like they do now. Look at President Trump. He was debanked. His whole family. I think I heard 200 bank accounts were closed almost immediately with no warning. How do you do that to a President of the United States? Well, they can, because there's more of them than there are us in a position to do it. So the Clarity Act, which on the surface looks great. Look, we thought in 1913, we would never have more than a 3% tax rate, and it would never affect anybody tied except for the top 1% of America. Now we have almost a 40% tax rate, 60% if you're self-employed, and it affects everybody who makes over about $25 to $30,000. So how about those apples? Once government seizes power, they will never give it back. Administrations will change. Good ones go out. Bad ones come in. More bad things happen. The Clarity Act's framework on the surface sounds good as a regulatory piece of legislation, which doesn't give us CBDC. But what they did do at the last minute last week is they put in mechanisms. If you have the paper, yes. It's conclusive. Mechanisms, where Congress says, "Oh, we're never going to do it." But just in case, if we have them in there to flip a switch and we go from a decentralized, freedom-loving, privacy, no surveillance, non-programmable, non-debankable form of transaction, digital transaction, to a surveillance, programmable, controllable, debankable, freeze bank account. What do you got? Nothing. No more 14th Amendment, no more due process. I'll tell you something, it's not a good deal. That's what's in there. If you get a bad actor in the White House or in a position of power of Congress, they can flip a switch and they could make that happen.
Chuck Crismier: Or or someone coming into the world at a time when the entire world is in a precipitous moment, so bad that the people of the world are clamoring for someone to come in and save us from what seems to be absolute destruction. All they're going to have to have is a little of the world on its knees and say, save us.
Guest (Male): Sounds like an Antichrist to me.
Chuck Crismier: Sounds like an Antichrist to me.
Guest (Male): Chuck, does that sound like a hope and savior? That's what that sounds like. Right? That sounds like somebody who's offering a better opportunity. Take Mongani for a second. Let's just let's talk here about Mongani. We have now the first communist Muslim candidate who won the primary in Michigan on three topics. One, tax their rates at 90%, tax real estate with an ungodly wealth tax. I think it's 4% annually on top of real estate. I think it's 6% of the tire. I mean, we're talking about no no immigration policy. 80-90% tax rate. Government subsidizing, government-run grocery stores. They want to nationalize airways, insurance companies, banks. They want to take any entrepreneur and make them a laborer of the government. And this is winning. Can you imagine these nutcases in position to control your bank account?
Chuck Crismier: Well, it's like the institutionalization laying the foundation for a complete digital world.
Guest (Male): Yes.
Chuck Crismier: Let's talk about this Clarity Act. Uh, you say it was passed last week.
Guest (Male): The Senate Banking Committee passed it in committee.
Chuck Crismier: Hmm. And the Senate's supposed to be the uh of our legislation.
Guest (Male): Yeah, the Senate's supposed to be the supposed to be the gatekeeper.
Chuck Crismier: Yeah. And so they passed this Clarity Act, and can you give me a definition of what it means? What are they trying to clarify?
Guest (Male): The Clarity Act is a regulatory piece of legislation that's supposed to regulate the stablecoin market, which is a digital dollar. Can you hear me okay?
Chuck Crismier: Yes.
Guest (Male): Okay. I'll make sure I'm going to be very very clear on this. It's it's to make sure that everybody's in compliance with minimum liability of assets in order to issue those, like banks and various companies that would get licenses. Number two, it would also make sure there is some privacy protection, limited amount of programming. There's some, um, limited amount of interference or ways of which to shut your account down without due process. But now they rewrote some of those things on July 31st and then some things at the last minute, probably Elizabeth Warren more than likely to be the first. Got her stuff in there. And now it's not what it was meant to be, which was a framework. It's really, and you have the documents in front of you that are very clear, conclusive, definitive, it has systems and language in there, because they do not trust the American people in all the countries that we live in. They want to seize control. That's what it is. And they're allowing the government to seize against us. To get it to get actually is a human form to angry into the very thing that is supposed to protect against.
Chuck Crismier: Right.
Guest (Male): It has turned itself into the very thing that will control our wealth.
Chuck Crismier: All right. So the EU enters into its digital world as we opened up the program. They intended to implement this by 2027 at least initially. And then finally in 2029. So that's just right around the corner. Uh, this is supposed to the Clarity Act is supposed to protect the United States of America and its citizens from the nefarious ends of the European system. But how quickly, how soon do you think it would be before the United States gets absorbed into the European system or together they become one?
Guest (Male): Chuck, I'm going to give you guys a lesson here real quick. It already been done. Six years ago, the Federal Reserve worked actively for Trump's entered his first term, came into Biden's first term, and they worked actively to build the Federal Bank Digital Currency platform on Ripple in conjunction with Ripple, and they built it with the the Bank of International Settlement. And they built it already on under the pretense of commercial CBDC.
Chuck Crismier: Aha. Okay, we'll pick up after the break on that, friends. Stay tuned.

Chuck Crismier: Digital tyranny trajectory. That's what we're talking about here today on Viewpoint. The digital trajectory that ultimately brings tyranny through economic control. It happens because of incrementalism that drives the inevitable. In other words, it comes on gradually. It's like the fog. You may recall the poet who wrote the poem concerning the fog. He said, it comes in on little cat feet. In other words, if you've ever been in a pea soup fog, you know that it didn't come in immediately. It came in gradually. One time during a extended bicycle riding in the mountains of Southern California with a couple of young men. In the wintertime, we actually experienced such a thing with the fog just coming in and sweeping through us just beautifully and then all of a sudden we were completely whited out. Couldn't see each other. That's how dense it was. That's how this is happening. It's incrementalism. And it enables governments and power brokers, whether intending good or evil, to accomplish the inevitable. And so this digital thing is inevitable. That's where it's going. The question is, when will it happen? Will we be prepared? Is there anything we can do to prepare? And all of these things are are within the broader realm of our guest today, an expert in these matters, Christian Briggs. Christian, you are the CEO of Hard Asset Management. What do you mean by hard assets? Digital doesn't sound like a hard asset.
Guest (Male): You know, it's funny that you said that. Uh, some people like to think Bitcoin's a hard asset. I'm like, well, show me where I can actually pick it up and take it with me. You can't. But
Chuck Crismier: Exactly.
Guest (Male): Right. Well, what we do is, we're just we're just uh, retailers of precious metals and rare coins. And as we continue to grow into this world of digital, I call it digital slavery. I mean, at the end of the day, we're going to probably get there at some point in the next three to five years. The real question is, is as we as a company, I'm continue to move forward to alert people, to educate people, to give them opportunities to have assets that will be outside the grasp or the control of government. We uh, we've seen ourselves have just exploded over the last decade. And what's interesting is how many people are starting to get it. Like, it's not an education lesson that we have to continuously say to the same person 10 times over. They hear it one time, they get it. And now we're getting people calling us from all over the world. We're getting all family offices, from people that are just everyday workers. Got a guy the other day, a guy owns a plumbing company. He's like, my god, I heard about the story about the CBDC from somebody. I don't know if he was working on a house or a colleague. But he goes, he heard the story. Heard our show and said, hey, I want to do something. So he bought some silver. And it's like, interesting, because if you look at the Bible, Chuck, and you're a scholar on the Bible, you've written books on the on on the various meanings, opinions, verses and chapters and books and things.
Chuck Crismier: True.
Guest (Male): And you put that into real-world, everyday living. How many times is gold mentioned in the Bible?
Chuck Crismier: Well, the one that stands out to me is Peter's statement, Peter and John at the gate beautiful, saying to the blind man, "Silver and gold have we none."
Guest (Male): Yeah, yeah. And and what about the silver shackles that Judas threw back at the palace?
Chuck Crismier: Yeah, 30 of them.
Guest (Male): Right. Right. And that's the point. When you're a little boy or a little girl, and you see gold or silver, you don't have to be told it has intrinsic value. You just know. Like unconditional love for for your children, or unconditional love that Jesus has for us. Nobody has to tell you. You feel it. You know, Chuck. You've talked about this before.
Chuck Crismier: Right.
Guest (Male): And that's what it's all about. It's having the is having the ability to maintain wealth preservation at your fingertips. That's what hard assets represent.
Chuck Crismier: All right. We know we can't hook up a trailer to our caskets or whatever and carry any of that stuff with us. So what we're talking about is living life on this planet in the wisest possible way, aren't we?
Guest (Male): Yes. Yes, with with wisdom and understanding. That is the key to success in every way, in every which way, from our faith to our everyday. It's wisdom and understanding. And wise enough to see the things that are coming and understanding to know what to do.
Chuck Crismier: Yeah. Well, okay. So that being the case, toward the end of last year, we saw silver and gold taking unprecedented moves, rising just enormously, like never before in history, to heights previously never attained. And it was just amazing. It seemed like there was no end in sight. And then all of a sudden, within two weeks, the bottom fell out, and things began to collapse. Silver went down to about $55, $56 from $125. Gold went from $5,500 down to just under $4,000. And now, in the last week or so, we're seeing gold and silver going up about 5%. So is is that really where we want to put our trust? What what is it about gold and silver, particularly with regard to the digital world?
Guest (Male): Well, back in 2010, when China started to move from a Treasury, US Treasury reserve asset holding, the largest in the world at the time. China was the largest. I think it was about 1.4 trillion of US debt. Japan was close second, and then various other countries made up the third, whatever. But China and Japan controlled about 3 trillion dollars, give or take. China realized that after 2010, because of the 08, 09, 10 financial crisis that we obviously experienced here in the US, that we were not good business people. Our government was not the fiscal policy holders that need to be controlling their wealth, which was them having our Treasury. And they got nervous, which is rightly so. And it put into their long-term plan to destroy the US dollar, which would bring the US dollar down to our knees, and as a country. Because the dollar if your currency goes down, your country goes there with it.
Chuck Crismier: Well, you you you gave us some information earlier that would scare the pants off my wife. We just celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary. And what you said is that during the period of time from 1966 to today, 60 years, the value of the dollar has plummeted 99%. Wow.
Guest (Male): Chuck, think about it. Gold was $20 an ounce back in the '60s. $19.50 to be exact, you could get it. You could buy a $20 gold piece for 20 bucks. There were people that would sell you one. Today and then it's $5,600 earlier this year. Do the math. Do the math on that. Okay? If you take 1900, a suit cost 20 bucks. A top-of-the-line custom suit. Today, the same suit's about $5,000 bucks. That's a fact. So think about the buying power. Look at the look at the difference between what 20 bought you then, what it buys you now. If in 1971, the second we left the gold-backed dollar, within 180 days, the US dollar lost almost 30% of its buying power. That's a fact.
Chuck Crismier: Thank you to Richard
Guest (Male): That's why we had that was Richard, well, hey, you can thank Henry Kissinger on that part too, my brother. He helped craft that. Okay? Remember, he was the one, he wasn't always a friend of the United States, like he said he was.
Chuck Crismier: No, he wasn't.
Guest (Male): We know this to be true. He got Nixon to get China put into the World Trade Organization. Eventually, Nixon did Okay. And then who did in '74? After he realized, "Oh my god, the dollar's crashing, interest rates are going through the roof," which is what they do when inflation happens. And what did he do? He put us on the petrodollar contract for 50 years, which really was a huge mistake. Because it gave us it gave us a blank check to go out there and print cash. Because we had buyers of our dollars. We can go into debt now. We can create an artificial, socialistic monetary policy. And that's what we did.
Chuck Crismier: All right. All that being the case, and we see that history has been written in front of us, we see that trajectory, and now things are moving inevitably toward a digital digitisation of money so that you no longer have hard assets, you have a number. That's basically all you have. A number. So uh, every human being becomes a number. And uh, that's kind of what Bill Gates had in mind with his uh uh, what was it? Anyway. Back in 2023, I believe it was. Uh, and wanted to merge all of our financial aspects and medical information all together on one digital chip. Uh, that's the vision, that's the greater vision. And uh, so it has to be implemented incrementally. So that being the case, then there are no hard assets involved in that. So what would a person do if they wanted to at least in some measure try to insulate themselves against the horrific consequences of that?
Guest (Male): Well, as I was saying earlier, if you look at South America, about 15 years ago, there were no transactions of any meaningful, any meaningful numbers in gold and silver in South America. Today, 40% of transactions in South America does not constitute the buyer and seller using local currencies. It constitutes a sale now with gold and silver. That's what they're doing.
Chuck Crismier: Really?
Guest (Male): Yes. And and let me hear me out. It makes sense. If you look at the currency fluctuations over the last 15 to 20 years and the inflationary, look at Venezuela. I mean, you had 1,000% inflation per month there for years. So everybody started saying, "Stop. I can't keep up with that. So I'll buy gold. If inflation goes up, my gold goes with it." Which is the first time a currency in theory is going up with the cost of goods and services. So in Colombia, Argentina, Bolivia, I mean, Latin America, all these countries over the last 15 and 20 years have experienced massive inflation, different regimes, communism, socialism, capitalism. All these different countries have these different individual that that they claimed to be for the people, and they come in and craziness happens. So the people got tired of that. And if you look at South America now and you go down the streets of the vendors, it's gold and silver. And rightly should be, because for 5,000 years, we didn't use paper. Paper only came about a few hundred years ago. It was always gold and silver. Even our coins were silver until 1964. 1933 on solid gold coins. So think about that. It's not like we've been doing paper for thousands of years. We've been doing paper in the United States for for theoretically, 33 was the last year for gold, and 64 was the last year for silver. So it hasn't been that many years.
Chuck Crismier: All right. So you've got gold, you've got silver, then you have bullion. What's the difference between gold and silver and bullion?
Guest (Male): Well, you have bullion is the name of how the product comes. It would have like no collectible intrinsic value over its melt value. That would be bullion.
Chuck Crismier: All right. If anything is gold
Guest (Male): Yeah, a big lump. Yeah, like a big bar. But if it has value that exceeds and has intrinsic value because it exceeds its precious metal's value, like a lot of things do, that would be more of a collectible or a we'll call it a rare coin if you wish.
Chuck Crismier: All right. So you deal in that. We'll be right back, friends. Stay tuned.
Narrator: Have you ever considered what the early church was like? Many people are developing a heart longing for a greater fulfillment in our practices as Christians. A recent study showed 53,000 people a week are leaving the back door of America's churches in frustration. What is going on? Why has there not been even a 1% gain among followers of Christ in the last 25 years? Could it be that God is seeking to restore first-century Christianity for the 21st century? Jesus said, "I'll build my church." Is Christ by His Spirit stirring to prepare the church for the 21st century? The early church prayed together and broke bread from house to house. They were family. And it was said by all who observed, "Behold how they love one another." Incredible, but the same can be found right now. Go to saveus.org and click Sell Church. We can revive first-century Christianity for the 21st century. It's about people, not programs. It's about a body, not a building. That's saveus.org. Click Sell Church.
Chuck Crismier: Again, it's such a delight to have you join us here on Viewpoint, confronting the deepest issues of America's heart and home. From God's eternal perspective. Again, it may not seem that way as we're talking here today because we're talking about silver and gold. We're talking about the digital world. But we're talking about that in the context of what the Bible says is going to take place. And we know what the Bible says is going to take place in the book of Revelation chapter 13 and 14. So, we refer to that chapter, those chapters as dealing with the Antichrist, the counterfeit Christ figure, who will have his false prophet, and who will, in order to control the world and bring it all under one economic system, will require every man, woman, and child to receive a mark. Now, what that mark is, we don't know exactly, but it says it's going to be represented by the number 666. Now, whether that would actually be the mark or not, that's up for we're not here to discuss that at this moment. But it is going to take place and we see now the trajectory of that taking place. It's right in front of our eyes, even as late as last week, friends, with the Clarity Act that we've just discussed in the last segment of the program. So, now we're going to move forward in this final segment of the program to take a look at a document called Achieving Uniformity of Tokenized Money through Smart Contracts. Uh, this whole idea of smart contracts, which is a way of, shall we say, implementing this digitisation process incrementally. Remember, digital tyranny trajectory. That's the title. The incrementalism that's driving the inevitable. Incrementalism driving the inevitable. And the inevitable is set forth in the book of Revelation chapter 13 and 14. Now, in order to get a broader picture of that situation and the identity of that counterfeit Christ figure, you might want to get a copy of my book, Antichrist: How to Identify the Coming Impostor. Antichrist: How to Identify the Coming Impostor. I believe it's on our website for it's either $18 or $20. You have to check it out there. Give us a call, 1-800-SAVE-USA. Go to the website saveus.org. I don't think you're going to be disappointed, friends. Uh, no, we're not going to tell you who it is. We're going to give you what the Bible says about what it who it is. Okay? What the Bible says. Not my opinion, what the Bible says. And then we're going to go from and you'll go from there, and uh, I think it'll be helpful to you. So it's on the website saveus.org. Give us a call, 1-800-SAVE-USA, or write to us at Save America Ministries. PO Box 70879, Richmond, Virginia 23255. Writing a check at $6 for postage and handling. Again, the title of the book, Antichrist: How to Identify the Coming Impostor. Okay. Now, Christian, if somebody wanted to get a hold of you, uh, to further discuss uh, anything that we've been talking about here regarding hard assets, regarding any of that, how would they do that?
Guest (Male): Well, they can they can get a hold of us by coming to our website. It's BMC. Bravo, Mary, Charlie. BMC-ham.com. And they can certainly give us a call at 844-426-4653. Go to the website, you'll have our toll-free number on there. And if they want to buy or sell precious metals or rare coins, we do both.
Chuck Crismier: Okay. Okay. And uh that's BMC-hardassets.com.
Guest (Male): No, BMC-ham. Just ham. Just BMC-ham.
Chuck Crismier: Oh, ham. BMC-ham.com.
Guest (Male): Yeah, ham for hard asset management.
Chuck Crismier: So you're just a bunch of hammers. I mean, hamm. Okay, hamm, or something.
Guest (Male): We're trying to be. Something. Hammers, hammers, whichever.
Chuck Crismier: Okay. Well, we appreciate your coming on here, uh, periodically. It's been about three weeks, I think, since you've been on. And I thought it was interesting that you uh, sent me a text this morning, uh, or last night concerning what we might talk about here. So, what is this business about smart contracts?
Guest (Male): Wow. For any of your listeners, if they want to get in touch with you or call us, we'll send them that document I sent you, which is very, very inflammatory, because it's smart contracts. It's what we're going to. MasterCard is even involved in this. And what it does is, it takes an ordinary piece of paper, like a deed, a title, and it puts it what they call electronically and digitally into the blockchain. And once it's called a smart, smart like a smart home, as electronics, you have a smartphone, digital. Smart contract is digitalizing paper.
Chuck Crismier: Are you suggesting then that a person's house could be digitalized? Digitalized?
Guest (Male): Chuck, I want every listen. Anybody who's listening, go online, tokenization, put BlackRock is tokenizing all your stock accounts, equities, your bond accounts, your real estate. They're even trying to they're already starting to digitalize bullion, certain bullion products, which is real scary.
Chuck Crismier: Unbelievable.
Guest (Male): So they're trying to
Chuck Crismier: So so is this what the World Economic Forum meant, what Klaus Schwab meant when he said a few years ago, "You'll own nothing and be happy about it?"
Guest (Male): Yeah, when Comrade Klaus Schwab said, "Uh, yes, you will own nothing and be happier," what he's saying is, "We're going to digitalize everything eventually." He there in the the first movie Terminator, there was a there was a couple lines that said, when Sarah O'Connor, the young lady, said to this guy, "We can't do stuff like this today. We we don't have robots and that kind of stuff." He goes, "No, but in 40 years you will." Do you know that was 1986?
Chuck Crismier: Two years after 1984.
Guest (Male): Correct. And 40 years later, the line was exactly right. Robots and systems, SkyNet, which was a communication device that would freeze all the communications. Well, have you ever heard of Starlink?
Chuck Crismier: Yeah.
Guest (Male): Right. What does it say? Right. And Elon Musk said, "Soon the entire world will be connected in about 18 months." What did it say when the four corners of the world will be connected, "I'll be back."
Chuck Crismier: So this is what they're at on TV is all about. Where they show the whole world coming together, that's the vision.
Guest (Male): It's one world government, one unified currency, all digitalized, where you will own nothing and be miserable. And that's why collectibles, rare art, rare coins, rare watches, in the last decade, have skyrocketed in value. Skyrocketed. So with silver, so with gold, so with platinum, just in the last five years, and there's a reason because the wealthiest people in the world know what's coming. That's because they're connected. They see it. We, as people that just a regular blue-collar workers, we all need to unite and realize and follow that, because that's exactly what's happening. And that's the reason why you continuously see when there's a dip in the metals, what happens, Chuck? It runs right back up. And there's a dip, it runs right back up. Every time.
Chuck Crismier: Okay. So it's running back up, golden silver, running up about 5% now in the last couple weeks, uh, partly because of the promises that we're going to have uh, some sort of resolution there in Iran. But then if we don't, then it goes back down. If we do, it goes back up. So what is it is it just what happens in Iran that's going to control the value of gold and silver, uh, and and oil and gas, or is it something else?
Guest (Male): No. The reason why precious metals went up this week was it had nothing to do with inflation, it had nothing to do with Iran, Iraq. That's that is what they like to tell you. The real reason is, is because the United States had to bail out Japan last Friday night, and again Monday, and then again this morning, because the Yen is collapsing. And the bond market today signaled, look it up. The Treasury United States intervened in the Yen. Had we not done that on three, at least two big interventions and one small one, the Japanese economy would have collapsed, and we would have dropped 40% in our stock market. So if anybody thinks the stock market is built on a solid foundation, it's built on just enough of a foundation until it's not. And we had to intervene.
Chuck Crismier: So how did we intervene? Where did the money come from?
Guest (Male): We dumped euros and bought yens. Look it up. The United States dumped billions, tens of billions of dollars in euros and helped the Japanese government as they were selling treasuries, which is dollar-based.
Chuck Crismier: Right.
Guest (Male): Look at our 10-year interest rate. We're still at like 4.6%. It's the highest in years. Mortgages are still near 7%. Yeah. They didn't come down. Yeah, if you got great credit, you'll might get one for six and a half. But if you're jumbo, you're seven and a half. And if you got lousy credit, you're 8% man. That's just what it is.
Chuck Crismier: Not pretty. Yeah.
Guest (Male): Yeah. Well, Christian, I really appreciate your your joining us. You've given us this interesting information concerning Japan and uh, what is has happening with their stock market and so on. And how it inter-reacts with ours and the world. I think we just don't quite understand uh, the inter-reactions, the depth of those. We can't follow it all. It takes somebody like you that has their ear to the ground, uh, understanding that can translate it to us in ways that we can understand. I appreciate that. And if if people want to get a hold of you, there's a phone number. Uh, can I give out this phone number?
Chuck Crismier: Okay.
Guest (Male): Absolutely, please do.
Chuck Crismier: All right, here it is. 844-426-4653. That's 844-426-4653. Or you can go to the the asset the the website bmc-ham.com. Got that right? Bmc-ham.com.
Guest (Male): Yeah. Perfectly said.
Chuck Crismier: All right. There it is, friends. And uh, I appreciate so much you're joining us here on the program. Uh, fascinating information here. Uh, but unless we do something with the information, it's just information. It just sits there idle and uh, it can torment us if we do nothing, if we see don't see that we can do anything about it, then there's nothing I mean, you just let sleeping dogs lie so to speak until they're not sleeping anymore. So, um, the issue here regarding the digital money and the architecture is put into very succinct terms right at the top of this letter from the Deputy Governor of Banca de Italia, the Italian Bank. And that is digital money and the architecture of trust. The issue is trust. That's what they have to get. They have to achieve trust. And that cannot happen immediately. And that's why it's being happened through incrementalism. Slowly, slowly, slowly the camel is getting his schnozzle under the tent. And once he does, the whole world goes to digital. Including the United States of America. So that's where we are, friends. By the way, get a copy of the book, uh, Antichrist: How to Identify the Coming Impostor. Uh, it's uh, $20, $23 book for years for it's either $18 or $20. I don't remember on the website. Go to there, uh, get a copy of it. I don't think you're going to be disappointed. It's very substantial book. Very substantial book. And it's going to open your eyes to a lot of things about what the Bible actually says. Not what you think it says, not what somebody told you it says, but what it actually says concerning the Antichrist and his identity. Saveus.org. Saveus.org. And give us a call, 1-800-SAVE-USA, or write to us at Save America Ministries. PO Box 70879, Richmond, Virginia 23255. And I urge you to become a partner. Do it today. Don't delay. And by the way, the special uh, offer that we've had concerning the uh, Overcomers Project will conclude on August 15th. If you want to be part of that Overcomers Project, go to the website uh, on the home page, under donation, and you'll see $250 to Save America Ministries will provide 10 copies of that book so that you can become a minister of our God to get the information out to those in your sphere of influence. Don't say there's nothing you can do. This is something you can do. And to be a blessing. God bless and be a blessing.
