Central bank digital currencies can 'be programmed' and 'used against you!' | Layah Heilpern

'The money can just be programmed to be used against you... It's a really efficient way for governments to implement their political and woke agendas.'
Layah Heilpern joins Nigel Farage to discuss how a central bank digital currency (CBDC) would give the government greater control.

Yup. Andrew Tate has also been saying it. Can you see a pattern? When you speak the truth you are deleted. The Matrix / System / Establisment / Global Elites want you staying dumb and fearful. You’re easily controlled. They did it with the plandemic. They do not want people, especially young military -age males awake to the realities of the world. They do not want young men to freely think for themselves, create their own wealth and escape the rat-race / The Matrix. There is good reason why you are not taught basic financial advice at school, you’re positively encouraged to take on debt as soon as you leave school. It’s a trap. They want you dependent upon them because then you’re controlled. Elections can be won, economies are worse off, revolutions can start when millions of men resist the programming and propaganda. When you connect the dots you see things as they really are. But, many are sleepwalking through life, standing on their dots, wearing their masks and doing exactly as they are told like a good slave should do.
