We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
Requiring a digital identity as a condition for participating in economic life effectively eliminates economic freedom.
By definition, a central currency intrudes upon a nation’s sovereignty. In Croatia, we experienced this, at least those less cautious of us who advocated for and implemented the euro, when the Croatian kuna was replaced by the EU’s supranational currency. This placed the European Central Bank at the helm of the overarching monetary authority.
Introducing a central digital euro would further limit our country’s ability to independently manage its fiscal and monetary policies, rendering the Croatian National Bank effectively redundant. Currently, the bank serves as a kind of intermediary between European structures and Croatia, but its role has largely been symbolic. With the digital euro, even this symbolic role disappears.
Croatian citizens would then be directly dependent on decisions made by the European Union, receiving money directly from it. How much money there will be, how it will be managed, who will limit eurocratic power in the context of programmable money, and what monetary decisions will be made during future crises—all of these would fall under the jurisdiction of Ursula von der Leyen and Christine Lagarde.
Full digitalization of money, particularly through centralized digital currencies or private payment systems, shifts real power from democratically accountable institutions to technocratic, supranational, and corporate structures of questionable legitimacy.
Human dignity in a hyper-technologized world requires that individuals not be reduced to mere data points or manageable system resources. Subordinating humans to technology is a process of technocratic dehumanization. https://notesfromtechnopoly.substack.com/p/a-case-against-the-digital-euro

Iran War & Fuel Rationing – are “Energy Lockdowns” on the way?
The war in Iran is having the impact that most people with any sense knew it would have: The price of oil is going up, and the supply of oil is going down.
Of course, whether or not the latter of these is actually true we will never know, and it’s beside the point. Oil companies will natural take the slightest excuse to price gouge and contrive scarcity for the basest of profit motives.
It also serves a political motive as well, since we know the global political machinery is –

That means that of the 2.1mn tonnes of urea — the world’s most widely used nitrogen fertiliser — that would normally have been loaded for export over the past two weeks, about half has been disrupted.
At the same time, more than 1.1mn tonnes of fertiliser and fertiliser inputs, including 570,000 tonnes of urea, is currently stuck in the Gulf, either being loaded or already on ships, according to Kpler data.
Nitrogen fertilisers, which underpin about half of global food production, are made from ammonia using natural gas, which has soared in price since the war began last month.
The shortages have begun during the northern hemisphere’s planting season, leading industry executives to warn of lower harvests for staples such as rice.
If the disruption continues, “this will be much worse than 2022”, said Veronica Nigh, senior economist at The Fertilizer Institute, a US-based trade group. “The longer the conflict goes on, the more dire the situation will become.”
