What is CBDC?
I relate Bitcoin and Ethereum as cryptocurrencies. CBDC is the Central Bank Digital Currency and will be the only one to be used in the future. The Canadian truckers had their bank account locked by their government and none could buy or sell. The ones that owned gold or crypto could still sell them for cash and carry on with their lives without losing their shirt.
So in the future when we go cashless we cannot sell and receive CBDC if we are locked out of the system.

In media appearances, Harris has called for "reimagining" public safety across the country. But she hasn’t explicitly said she supports defunding police departments, and Harris has said she doesn’t want to get rid of law enforcement.


If we can't get past the first talking point without it being shown incorrect, I can only assume the rest are as baseless.
maybe politifact should have actually researched the issue:

"Vice presidential hopeful Sen. Kamala Harris on Tuesday applauded Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s decision to slash police funding by $150 million but stopped short of saying she backed the “defund the police” movement."

“I support investing in communities so that they become more healthy and therefore more safe,” Harris said in an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “I applaud Mayor Garcetti for doing what he’s done."

that sure looks like supporting the defunding of police to me

the rest of my claims come from here


so you are either a low-information voter, or just lying again

Vance on his own did not run for president.

Right he realized he was wrong.
Yeah, Vance never ran on his own. Potentially for the latter, though, I do miss the old days of classical Republicans before the Trump era. If I was old enough to vote, I might have voted for Romney in 2012, but alas, I was only 13.

Defunding police (she "applauded Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti’s decision to slash police funding by $150 million")
Reparations for slavery
Free public college for everyone
Unrestricted abortion, including partial-birth ("Harris was a co-sponsor of the 2019 Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which prohibits state laws banning post-viability abortions", 100% NARAL rating)
Letting men use women's bathrooms
Support for Green New Deal

aside from foreign policy, where she falls into line with neocons, and panders to the military industrial-complex, she is hard-left. Ontheissues describes her as a "hardcore liberal"

only a handful of Democratic lawmakers are more left-wing than Kamala (AOC, Sanders, etc.)

Anything else you care to add to that Harris straw woman?

I think having commodities and crypto is good for a time. I believe when world go cashless all other forms of currency will be done away with except for CBDC. So trying to cash in on your investment won't happen if you are locked out of the CBDC system. When the Bible says will not be able to buy or sell that's what it means. This is the only way I can think the ruler during that time could prevent people from buying and selling.

You'll be able to trade into other forms of currency but some believe few will hold certain coins once the majority sell. Several firms may become banks like Coinbase. The reason you can't buy or sell is because it's programmable. They can turn it on and off and it has an expiration date too.

The question is whether CBDCs will include more than UBI. That's part of it for certain. The goal for crypto holders is to avoid that fate.

Sad, She is not fit. She proved it these last 4 years. Hopefully they pick someone better. I am afraid the emotion driven populous would back her. Another 4 years of the same policies will bury us as a country

It's a toss up at this point. There's a lot moving in the background. We'll have more surprises to come.

Proving the lie does not stop its being repeated endlessly, as we have seen many times in Trump's campaigning.

Lying is Trump's default position. It is a habit his most fervent supporters have picked up.
there is no lie here

as I indicated above, Harris cheered on the police defunding in LA

she also came out in support of this organization:

The Minnesota Freedom Fund, a previously little-known organization that tax forms show raised a staggering $41 million in 2020, was notably promoted in June of that year by then-Sen. Harris, who posted on social media, "If you’re able to, chip in now to the @MNFreedomFund to help post bail for those protesting on the ground in Minnesota." Formed in 2016, the MFF "has paid more than $26 million to free 3,000+ people from pre-trial jailing and immigration detention" and "pays criminal bail and immigration bonds for those who cannot otherwise afford to as we seek to end discriminatory, coercive, and oppressive jailing," according to MFF's website.

the woman has absolutely no principles, and will latch on to any trendy political movement if she feels it benefits here. When she was a prosecutor, she was throwing thousands of people into jail for minor drug offenses, but the second she became VP, she said we need to "reimagine" law enforcement (on X)

I think this is desperate.

Of course drug dealers would be prosecuted under the law. You will not find anything about Ms Harris that rebuts that.

Raising funds for bail is perfectly compatible with the administration of justice. Or don't you believe in the 'innocent until proven guilty' principle for poor people?

And do you consider that law enforcement has no need of reform? Your country imprisons more people per capita than any other democracy. Your country's police are the least well-trained and the most likely to shoot innocent citizens.

This is what I'm saying there won't be other forms of currency except CBDC. The whole world will be cashless and there will be one currency. This is the only way to reconcile can not buy or sell.

are you capable of doing research on the web?

and that isn't a straw man argument. Please look that up before using the term

this is the site I used for that


Thank you.....Harris' positions / voting record through 2021.
Harris does not support defunding the police.
She has argued for reforming our Justice System particularly for non-violent offenders. I support that postion.

This reflects the evolution of thinking in our country generally.

Plus during her AG time it was her job to enforce the law as it stood.
Attitudes have changed in Europe too. Nobody is likely to go to prison for using drugs. Selling them is a different matter.

Just copying a headline without further explanation is not very useful. Individual cases will be different and will merit different outcomes.

I do think there are some quite dangerous drugs where just possession should be illegal. As for cannabis, legalization was the right move. But its almost gone too far with candy-edibles, concentrates, etc, etc.

I am way off topic but the Mark of the Beast portion. Not taking the mark will prevent us from buying or selling. Hong Kong, Norway, Sweden and Israel are talking cashless. We are a long way off from the whole world going cashless but I'm keeping an eye out.

Can you explain what is bad about that organization based on the text you posted?

Your own post (see above) indicates that her promotion of MFF was as a Senator, not "the second she became VP".
