Crypto, CBDCs, and the Death of Cash – Who Controls the Future of Money?

The world is at a crossroads where traditional cash is on life support, digital currencies are rising, and control over money is shifting from individuals to centralized entities. Cryptocurrency promised financial freedom—decentralized, borderless, and beyond government control—but Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are the state's answer to that rebellion. With CBDCs, every transaction is monitored, programmable, and subject to political whims. Meanwhile, private banks and corporations push for a cashless society, leaving the average person with fewer options and less autonomy. The question isn’t just about technology; it’s about power. Who decides how you spend, save, and transfer wealth? And what happens when control over money means control over you?

EMP Preparedness: Can America Survive the Next Big Blackout?

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP) poses a real and underappreciated threat to the United States, capable of crippling our power grid, communications, and critical infrastructure in an instant. Whether triggered by a high-altitude nuclear detonation, a solar storm, or a sophisticated cyberattack, the consequences would be catastrophic—food supply chains halted, emergency services paralyzed, and modern society thrust into chaos. Despite this, our nation remains woefully unprepared, with outdated grid protections and a lack of public awareness. How close are we to the brink? Closer than most are willing to admit.

Porous Borders and Online Extremism: Securing America Against Modern Terrorism

International terrorism remains a persistent and evolving threat, as exemplified by the recent New Orleans attack in which an Army veteran, radicalized by Islamic State propaganda, killed 14 people. This incident highlights how global terrorist organizations continue to exploit digital platforms, targeting vulnerable individuals within domestic borders to further their agendas. The blending of international ideologies with local grievances creates a volatile and unpredictable threat matrix, emphasizing the need for proactive intelligence, counter-radicalization programs, and robust domestic security measures to address this hybrid menace effectively.

Lost at Sea: America’s Maritime Collapse and the Fight to Secure Our Future

The collapse of U.S. commercial shipping and shipbuilding has created a glaring vulnerability in national security. Once the backbone of global maritime dominance, America’s fleet and industrial base have been reduced to a shadow of their former strength. Meanwhile, China has aggressively expanded its naval and merchant shipping capacity, controlling critical trade routes and supply chains. This shift has jolted policymakers to confront the hard truth: without a strong maritime infrastructure, the U.S. risks losing its ability to project power, secure economic interests, and defend its shores. A maritime revival is no longer optional; it is a strategic necessity to preserve sovereignty and global influence.

Shutdown Showdown: How Political Gridlock Threatens National Security

Government shutdowns in the United States have become a political weapon, wielded by both parties to score points and force concessions. These manufactured crises grind essential government functions to a halt, jeopardizing national security as critical agencies like the Department of Defense and Homeland Security operate on skeleton crews or deferred budgets. Military readiness, intelligence gathering, and cybersecurity efforts are all compromised while politicians grandstand. The real cost isn’t just financial—it’s the erosion of public trust in government’s ability to protect and serve. When national security becomes collateral damage in a political standoff, the consequences ripple far beyond Washington.

National Security Weekly Wrap-up EP1

In the week of December 12-19, 2024, three pressing U.S. national security issues dominate headlines. First, mysterious drone sightings across several northeastern states, including New York and Pennsylvania, have sparked concern, with the drones reportedly hovering near sensitive military installations and urban areas. Despite investigations by federal agencies, their origins and purpose remain unclear, raising fears of potential espionage or terrorism. Second, the Supreme Court has agreed to expedite hearings on the federal government's mandated divestment of TikTok, citing fears of Chinese surveillance through the app. This case pits national security concerns against First Amendment rights and could set a precedent for tech regulation. Lastly, revelations of an alleged Chinese espionage network targeting U.S. government and corporate entities have intensified debates on counterintelligence vulnerabilities. Reports indicate that key industries, including defense contractors, were infiltrated, prompting calls for stronger cybersecurity measures and stricter foreign access policies. These events underscore the evolving and multifaceted nature of national security threats facing the United States.
