Watch for Recent Hacks to Speed up U.S. Push for Digital Currency Push
Celente said 2023 will be the year from dirty cash to digital trash and it will be the year that the U.S. government is going to make a big push towards a digital currency.
NOTE TO READERS: The following is one of dozens of articles in last week’s The Trends Journal. Consider subscribing here for in-depth, independent geopolitical and socioeconomic trends and trend forecasts that you won’t find anywhere else.
The U.S. is investigating the apparent hacking of several federal agencies—including a vendor for the Department of Agriculture—that “may impact a very small number of employees,” which will be used by central banksters to push digital currencies to the public.
CNN reported last week that the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency is “providing support to several agencies that have experienced intrusions affecting their MOVEit applications.”
The report said a band of Russian-speaking hackers claimed credit for other recent hacking campaigns.
TRENDPOST: Gerald Celente has spoken about the shift from “dirty cash to digital trash” for years.
“They’re [the U.S. government] going to say something like, ‘The Russians hacked our banking system and you lost your money… but don’t worry about it, we came out with a new currency, everything is fine,’” Celente said earlier this year.
The U.S. State Department’s Rewards for Justice program tweeted that it is offering a $10 million bounty for information linking the Clop ransomware attacks to a foreign government, Bleeping Computer reported.
The report said the attacks began on 27 May, on the Memorial Day holiday. The Clop ransomware gang said it stole data from hundreds of companies.
The Federal News Network reported that Oak Ridge Associated Universities and a New Mexico Waste Isolation Pilot Plant were two Department of Energy entities that were hacked. The report said the hack exposed “the personally identifiable information of potentially tens of thousands of individuals, including Energy employees and contractors.”
TRENDPOST: Gerald Celente has long warned that throughout history, the world’s central bankers have used fear-based events, both natural and engineered, to further fleece their countrymen and women.
Central bankers have said the reason they want digital currencies is to provide faster, safer, and more convenient capital movement—which they can do. But, the actual reason is they have abused the world’s monetized debt-based monetary systems to the point of no return.
Celente said 2023 will be the year from dirty cash to digital trash and it will be the year that the U.S. government is going to make a big push towards a digital currency.
“It’s not about we the people, it’s about the ones running the show,” he said.
Governments and central bankers claim that the shift to a cashless society will help prevent crime and increase convenience for ordinary people.
But as we had forecast, the real motivation behind the war on cash is more government control over the individual… so they know every penny spent, where it was spent, and what it was spent on. And the bottom line is, the political system will be guaranteed of getting every tax dollar that they “deserve.”
