CBDC crackdown: Aaron Day warns of technocratic enslavement through digital currency

08/25/2025 / By Finn Heartley

CBDCs as Tools of Control: Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) are not just digital cash—they are programmable, AI-driven instruments that enforce compliance with state mandates, threatening free will and financial autonomy.
Hidden Financial Takeover: The GENIUS Act covertly advances U.S. CBDCs by forcing stablecoins to back U.S. Treasury debt, enabling $2 trillion in unbacked borrowing while masking it as “financial innovation.”
Digital ID & Surveillance State: Real ID is a stepping stone to mandatory digital IDs, allowing governments to revoke access to money, travel, and the internet for dissenters—ushering in full financial censorship.
AI-Powered Enforcement: Companies like Palantir use AI to construct Minority Report-style surveillance, tracking Americans’ data for predictive policing, financial control, and even satellite monitoring—eroding privacy completely.
Decentralized Solutions: Privacy coins (Monero, Zano), self-custody wallets, and decentralized AI (Enoch) offer escape routes from CBDC tyranny—but urgent action is needed before digital enslavement locks in.

In a gripping episode of Decentralized TV, Aaron Day, founder of the Daylight Freedom Foundation, issued an urgent warning about the rapid advancement of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and the broader technocratic push to strip humanity of financial autonomy. During his explosive interview with Mike Adams, Day exposed how governments worldwide—including under both Trump and Biden administrations—are accelerating financial surveillance through legislative pipelines like the GENIUS Act and digital IDs such as Real ID.

Day, a seasoned advocate against financial tyranny, explained that CBDCs represent more than just digital money—they are programmable instruments of control. “CBDCs, combined with AI-driven social credit systems, threaten to condition access to money and basic services on compliance with state mandates,” Day emphasized. “This isn’t just about convenience; it’s about ending free will.”

The Hidden Agenda Behind Stablecoins & Digital ID

One of the most alarming revelations was Day’s dissection of the GENIUS Act, a Trojan horse for U.S. CBDC implementation. Stablecoins, often marketed as decentralized, are now being forcibly tethered to U.S. Treasuries—meaning they serve as backdoor CBDCs. “This allows the government to sell $2 trillion in unbacked debt under the guise of ‘financial innovation,’” Day warned.

Additionally, Real ID, already rolled out in eight states, acts as a precursor to a mandatory digital identity system. “Once tied to financial transactions, your access to money, travel, and even the internet can be revoked if you dissent,” Day explained.

AI Surveillance & The End of Privacy

Day linked CBDCs to broader technocratic enforcement mechanisms, including AI-driven surveillance. Companies like Palantir—funded by government contracts—are constructing vast databases tracking Americans’ financial and personal data. “They’re already simulating Minority Report-style ‘pre-crime’ policing,” Day noted, pointing to Palantir’s involvement in predictive policing, foreign conflicts, and even targeted satellite surveillance.

Adams echoed concerns, citing how mainstream AI tools like ChatGPT already censor dissenting health and political information. “Google and OpenAI proactively block queries about natural immunity, vaccine risks, or electoral fraud—just as they did during COVID,” Adams said.

Escaping the Trap: Decentralized Alternatives

Despite the bleak outlook, Day stressed solutions exist. He championed privacy coins like Zano and Monero, which enable untraceable transactions, and projects like Freedom Dollar, a private stablecoin backed by crypto-collateral rather than government debt.

Adams highlighted decentralized AI models like Enoch, trained on uncensored data, as tools to reclaim knowledge from corporate-state narratives. “AI can either enslave or liberate—it depends on who controls it,” Adams stated.

Final Warning: The Battle for Human Autonomy

Day urged listeners to reject CBDCs, demand legislative transparency, and adopt self-custody financial tools. “If we don’t resist now, we’ll wake up in a world where your bank account freezes for ‘wrongthink,’ and your digital ID determines your rights.”

As governments and globalists accelerate their digital prison, Day’s message is clear: The fight for financial freedom is the fight for humanity’s future.
