Fed Asks Americans for Feedback on a Central Bank Digital Currency—Here Are Some Responses
April 30, 2023
Americans are worried that a U.S. Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) could end up compromising essential freedoms, further centralizing monetary policy, and making the country’s currency vulnerable to hacking, according to a recently published Fed survey.
In January last year, the Fed published a white paper on what a CBDC could look like. It asked for public comments on issues like potential risks and benefits a CBDC can have on the country. On April 20, the Fed released the responses in nine documents. Here are some of the various answers and concerns expressed by respondents, some of whom were named, others who were unnamed, as well as those whose names were redacted.
A student from Texas pointed to the breach of privacy, government overreach, and hacking as risks posed by CBDC. “With this digital currency, the government would be able to usurp freedoms without the knowledge/consent of the public.
“The best e-hackers and cybersecurity personnel don’t work for the government. They work in the private sector. It is naive to think, given the government’s track record, that it could ever be trusted to secure such an asset.” A CBDC might also trigger a “run on financial institutions,” the individual warned.

The Medlock Post Ep. 129: The Insurrection of the Rule of Law
Once again, we find John Locke setting forth
this same doctrine in his classical Second Essay Concerning Civil Government:
“The reason why men enter
into society is the preservation of their property.... [Therefore,] whenever
the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people,
or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they [the officials of
government] put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are
thereupon absolved from any further obedience, and are left to the common
refuge which God hath provided for all men against force and violence.
Whensoever, therefore, the legislative shall transgress this fundamental rule
of society, and either by ambition, fear, folly, or corruption, endeavor to
grasp themselves, or put into the hands of any other, an absolute power over
the lives, liberties, and estates of the people, by this breach of trust they
[the government officials] forfeit the power the people had put into their
hands ... and it devolves to the people, who have a right to resume their
original liberty, and ... provide for their own safety and security.”

Gun control supporters are wrong to claim that “assault weapons” are used in most mass shootings. While the media focus on this false narrative, mass killings have been committed with firearms of all types, and without firearms of any type.
Second Amendment – Firearms that gun control supporters call “assault weapons” and ammunition magazines that they call “large” are among the arms protected by the Second Amendment. Because they’re among the arms that are most useful for the entire range of defensive purposes, they’re “in common use” for defensive purposes, a standard articulated by the Supreme Court in District of Columbia v. Heller (2008).

The Medlock Post Ep. 125: Turn to the Constitution
Why the Original Constitution Will Never Be Obsolete:
And that is what the Constitution is all about—providing freedom from abuse by those in authority. Anyone who says the American Constitution is obsolete just because social and economic conditions have changed does not understand the real genius of the Constitution. It was designed to control something which has not changed and will not change—namely, human nature.
