Aaron Day's Workshop on Economic Freedom

Introduction

Imagine having complete control over your economic life. That was the main message conveyed by Brownstone Fellow Aaron Day at his four-hour workshop held in San Jose, California, on May 11th. Day, who authored the insightful book "The Final Countdown," discussed the escalating attacks on our freedoms by the government and global elites. He has started a series of workshops across the country to spread this message and to present ways to resist these assaults. Day revealed that he had to update his presentation slides with alarming current news, highlighting increased government intrusion, new legislation, and numerous unwarranted arrests, all aimed at limiting our ability to interact freely and conduct our business.

The Presentation

The presentation commenced with a fictional account of a family living in a Western democracy in the near future, a scenario all too familiar to Chinese citizens with their regulated currency and social credit scores. Day then proceeded to demonstrate how this situation is gradually becoming a reality in the West. He presented numerous articles, official statements, and videos to substantiate his argument. Day also provided historical references to explain how we arrived at this point. He highlighted the century-long efforts by globalist powers to strip away our freedoms and control all resources. The difference now, according to Day, is the global reach of this control over food, water, energy, and even the space we occupy and the air we breathe.

Focus on CDBCs

The workshop primarily focused on Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) in America and the West. Day explained that our central bank has been developing digital currency for a while, aiming to eliminate our ability to keep our transactions private. In this new world, all our actions can be easily monitored, tracked, and manipulated by the elites for their benefit. The audience, mostly older individuals possibly retired or with a nest egg to protect, actively participated in the session, expressing their concerns and disbelief at the presented facts.

Impact on Young Adults

Day emphasized that the importance of money lies not in its value but in its use as a medium of exchange. He argued that the young adults, who will be most affected by the economic control, were largely absent from the workshop. These young people will not be able to make financial decisions freely based on their obligations, goals, and dreams. Every purchase they make will have to align with the State's agenda. Day used recent events to illustrate what could happen if his predicted CBDC roadmap to economic tyranny is implemented.

Resisting Economic Slavery

The second part of the workshop focused on potential ways to counter this impending economic slavery. Day suggested that the only way to resist CBDC tyranny is to refuse to participate and to use other methods to conduct business wherever possible. He also stressed the importance of self-custody of any crypto account or asset, where only you have the keys. Day provided a list of cryptocurrencies that allow self-custody.

Conclusion

Day's workshop was an enlightening session that provided practical tools to resist the move to CBDC. Attendees left the workshop with a crypto wallet set up on their phones, a New Hampshire Goldback, and a Citizens for Sound Money 1/5 oz round of silver. Day's workshop is a must-attend for anyone interested in preserving their financial freedom. It's crucial to share these lessons with family and friends, especially the youth, as it's their world that's being taken away from them.
