Description:

Why is stablecoin legislation (the GENIUS and STABLE Acts) working its way through Congress that will embed a digital, financial control grid into our lives? Because the new Treasury Secretary is George Soros’ protégé with serious conflicts of interest. Did you know Trump’s family crypto firm, World Liberty Financial, has made hundreds of millions of dollars from its new stablecoin, USD1, since January? Coincidence? No. Do you want to live in a world where every transaction is monitored, every asset is controlled, and dissent can be silenced with a keystroke? We don’t. Listen in to Terra and Peter as they discuss what is really happening!
