Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) told Breitbart News in an exclusive statement Thursday that Saule Omarova, President Joe Biden’s Comptroller of the Currency nominee, and others that believe bitcoin is a threat to national security are “scared” of relinquishing control over Americans.
Lummis, a pro-cryptocurrency lawmaker, asked Omarova during her nomination hearing if she believed that bitcoin served as a national security threat to the United States. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs, Screenshot Lummis asked Omarova, “Do you think that bitcoin undermines national security?”
Omarova said, “I would worry if all of our financial transactions were up to some blockchain system, where you know various actors might actually be located in other countries not particularly friendly to us, control the functioning of that system.” Lummis told Breitbart News that Omarova’s concerns about digital currencies only exhibit her desire for more financial control over the American people. The Wyoming conservative said that bitcoin allows Americans to save amidst rising inflation.
“Those that believe bitcoin is a threat to national security are scared of relinquishing any control over the American people. The United States government continues to debase the American dollar by spending trillions of dollars without a second thought,” Lummis said. “Bitcoin is a good store of value and more and more Americans are looking to store their savings in bitcoin and other digital assets to make sure their retirement isn’t jeopardized by our government’s irresponsible actions.”
Asked by Lummis, Omarova also refused to pledge on Thursday not to politicize lending in a repeat of the Barack Obama administration’s Operation Choke Point.
Omarova, if confirmed, would have wide regulatory power over cryptocurrency companies, including her ability to block charter approvals.
She has also exhibited anti-cryptocurrency writings in her academic papers.

Will America-First News Outlets Make it to 2023?
Things are looking grim for conservative and populist news sites.
There’s something happening behind the scenes at several popular conservative news outlets. 2021 was bad, but 2022 is proving to be disastrous for news sites that aren’t “playing ball” with the corporate media narrative. It’s being said that advertisers are cracking down, forcing some of the biggest ad networks like Google and Yahoo to pull their inventory from conservative outlets. This has had two major effects. First, it has cooled most conservative outlets from discussing “taboo” topics like Pandemic Panic Theater, voter fraud, or The Great Reset. Second, it has isolated those ad networks that aren’t playing ball.
Certain topics are anathema for most ad networks. Speaking out against vaccines or vaccine mandates is a certain path to being demonetized. Highlighting voter fraud in the 2020 and future elections is another instant advertising death penalty. Throw in truthful stories about climate change hysteria, Critical Race Theory, and the border crisis and it’s easy to understand how difficult it is for America-First news outlets to spread the facts, share conservative opinions, and still pay the bills.
Without naming names, I have been told of several news outlets who have been forced to either consolidate with larger organizations or who have backed down on covering certain topics out of fear of being “canceled” by the ad networks. I get it. This is a business for many of us and it’s not very profitable. Those of us who do this for a living are often barely squeaking by, so loss of additional revenue can often mean being forced to make cuts. That means not being able to cover the topics properly. Its a Catch-22: Tell the truth and lose the money necessary to keep telling the truth, or avoid the truth and make enough money to survive. Those who have chosen survival simply aren’t able to spread the truth properly.
We will never avoid the truth. The Lord will provide if it is His will. Our job is simply to share the facts, spread the Gospel, and educate as many Americans as possible while exposing the forces of evil.
To those who have the means, we ask that you please donate. We have options available now, but there is no telling when those options will cancel us. We have our GivingFuel page. There have been many who have been canceled by PayPal, but for now it’s still an option. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
