What is Project Icebreaker?
What is the BIS? Brandon Smith
answers both questions at InfoWars. First, two major take-aways re: the Central
Bank Digital Currency (CBDCs):
In a cashless society most people
would be dependent on digital products for exchanging goods and labor, and this
would of course mean the end of all privacy in trade. Everything you buy or
sell or work for in your life would be recorded, and this lack of anonymity
could be used to stifle your freedoms in the future.
With CBDCs in place and no physical
cash in existence, your savings will never be truly yours and you’ll never be
able to hold your purchasing power in your hands. The means of exchange would
be bottle-necked by the banks, and governments would have the option to freeze
your ability to transact.
And now for two answers:
. . . The Orwellian nature of CBDCs
cannot be overstated. In a cashless society most people would be dependent on
digital products for exchanging goods and labor, and this would of course mean
the end of all privacy in trade. Everything you buy or sell or work for in your
life would be recorded, and this lack of anonymity could be used to stifle your
freedoms in the future.
. . .
It’s important to understand that
central bankers are moving at breakneck speed to develop and introduce digital
currencies. It’s not a matter of experimentation, they already have these
systems ready to implement. The Federal Reserve’s instant transfer program
“FedNow” is set to debut this July, which is not a CBDC but it is an
intermediary step towards instituting CBDCs in the near term.
In my investigations of various
CBDC programs and how quickly they are progressing I came across an interesting
program called “Project Icebreaker” being run by the Bank for International
Settlements (BIS). For those not aware, the BIS is a globalist institution with
a clandestine past known as the “central bank of central banks.” It is
the policy
making hub for most of the central banks in the world. If you ever
wondered how it was possible for so many national central banks to operate in
tandem with each other instead of acting in the interests of the countries they
reside in, the BIS is the answer. In other words, organizations like the
Federal Reserve are not necessarily loyal to Americans or to American
officials, they are loyal to the dictates of the BIS.
The BIS is at the forefront of the
movement towards the adoption of CBDCs. . . .
. . . Project Icebreaker in particular grabbed my attention for a number of reasons. The BIS describes the project as a foreign exchange clearing house for Retail CBDCs (retail CBDCs are digital currencies used by the regular public and businesses), enabling the currencies to be traded from country to country quickly and efficiently. This is accomplished using the “Icebreaker Hub”, a BIS controlled mechanism which facilitates data transfers for an array of transactions while connecting banks to other banks. . . .
