British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is pushing other G7 countries to adopt Central Bank Digital Currencies or CBDCs. UK PM Rishi Sunak desperate for G7 countries to launch central bank digital currencies A video of Sunak saying as much is gaining traction online.
The video appears to date back to late last year when Sunak was Chancellor of the Exchequer (head of the UK Treasury), a position he held until he was sworn in as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in October.
CBDCs are digital currencies countries propose to replace their current cash, coin and digital entry systems, like the money in your bank account.
People and companies would hold the digital currency in their digital wallets, make payments for the purchase of goods & services, make transfers, and so on.
But unlike Bitcoin , CBDCs would reside on a centralized blockchain rather than a decentralized one, meaning the central bank would have complete control over its issuance and management.
CBDCs & the G7
The G7 announced it’s launching a set of public policy principles for retail CBDCs alongside G7 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors.

But some contend his close ties to banking elites and the World Economic Forum obscures the true intentions behind launching a retail CBDC in the UK and other G7 countries like Canada .Sunak explained that unlike most of the digital money people use today, the CBDC would be issued directly by a central bank, like the Bank of England in the UK or The Bank of Canada.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
