Ever since the invention of money, it has served as an empowering tool for the people, guaranteeing financial independence and facilitating the global economy. But what if the money you owned wasn’t truly yours anymore? According to renowned economist, Professor Richard Werner, the central banks of the world are plotting a drastic financial revolution that could potentially rob us of this freedom. Their method? Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) embedded in microchips, implanted under our skin. It’s an alarming development, one that eerily echoes an age-old biblical prophecy: The ‘Mark of the Beast’.

Central banks globally are exploring the adoption of CBDCs, a form of digital currency regulated directly by the banks themselves. This would mean individuals would need to open accounts directly with central banks, providing an alarming level of control over personal finances.

However, Professor Werner raises concerns that go beyond the debate over centralization of banking. He presents a dystopian scenario where CBDCs aren’t just digital, but become physical: small microchips embedded under the skin, allowing the government to monitor, control, and even restrict transactions.

Werner has been in and out of central banks throughout his career. He asserts that the perceived violation of human dignity that comes with such intrusive technology is a known deterrent among the populace. However, he warns that the bankers are preparing to overcome this barrier using a carrot-and-stick approach.

First, they plan to create a necessity for these implants by inducing an economic crisis that will generate a demand for universal basic income (UBI). The banks will then insist on using the latest technology—the CBDC chip implant—for efficient operation of the UBI.

Further concerns stem from the covert manner in which this technology could be introduced to the public. Werner suggests the initial phase would involve introducing CBDCs via phone-based apps, much like current digital currencies. Once people are comfortable with this, the switch to implants could be presented as a simple technological upgrade.

This, according to Werner, is part of a deliberate agenda that has been in the works for several years, even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Werner suggests that the pandemic response, including the introduction of vaccine passports, was a step toward achieving the ultimate goal of implanted CBDCs.

Catherine Austin Fitts, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of Housing, shares similar sentiments. She believes measures taken during the pandemic are foundational steps towards a new global banking system. This would involve a digital surveillance and social credit system, enabling the bank-controlled “credit” to be adjusted or turned off individually.

Such an economic structure isn’t purely hypothetical. It’s an admitted possibility by influential figures within the banking sector. General Manager Agustín Carstens of the Bank for International Settlements has conceded that a CBDC would give central banks “absolute control” on the rules and regulations governing its use.

While this may sound far-fetched, it isn’t an unprecedented concept. Thousands have already consented to having microchips implanted for facilitating financial transactions and access to specific locations, most notably in Sweden. And late last year, the first British man was implanted with a bank card microchip.

Such technology, if mandated for access to goods and services, has the potential to invoke a totalitarian regime of biblical proportions. In the Book of Apocalypse, it’s predicted that a “second beast” will enforce all to have a character or mark on their right hand or forehead, without which they can neither buy nor sell.

John-Henry Westen, editor-in-chief of LifeSiteNews, points out that while having a mark enabling transactions isn’t inherently evil, it’s the strings attached to receiving such a mark that could make it worthy of eternal damnation.

In the balance hangs our financial freedom and personal dignity. A new era of currency beckons, threatening to shackle us with an invisible chain of control. As central banks toy with the idea of CBDC implants, we’re on the brink of a reality forewarned in biblical prophecy. As our currencies digitize and our privacy is bartered for convenience, it’s imperative we question the hidden costs of this “progress”. Will we remain silent as our autonomy is whittled away, or will we resist the encroachment of the ‘Mark of the Beast’? Only time will reveal the price of our silence.
