Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Sounds Alarm on Crypto Bills: "A Backdoor to Digital Control!"
Crypto Legislation Sparks Fierce Debate
Hold onto your hats, folks! Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene isn't holding back her punches on the recently passed GENIUS Act. She's slamming it as a sneaky backdoor for rolling out a central bank digital currency. Yep, you heard that right!
And guess what? She voted a big, fat NO on this bill that's zooming through both chambers of Congress like a crypto bull on steroids.
The firebrand from Georgia is sounding the alarm that this stablecoin regulation bill is paving the way straight to "a cashless society and into digital currency that can be weaponized against you by an authoritarian government." Talk about a chilling warning!
Greene's not mincing words about her distrust of the government's iron grip on our money systems. She's throwing down the gauntlet, questioning whether we should trust the powers that be "to never do that to you."
She's calling out the legislation for giving the government the keys to control our ability to buy and sell through these digital currency systems. It's like something straight out of a dystopian novel!
But wait, there's more! Greene's breaking down her voting positions on three hot crypto bills that Congress is juggling like a circus act.
While she's dead set against the GENIUS Act, she's throwing her support behind the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act. This bad boy prohibits Federal Reserve Banks from issuing Central Bank Digital Currencies. It's like a shield protecting our wallets!
This week, Congress passed crypto legislation faster than a Bitcoin transaction. But here's the kicker - the American people are pretty much in the dark about what it all means and what just went down.
1. GENUIS ACT - Greene's a hard NO on this one. It's steamrolling through the Senate and the House, ready to be signed into law today. This bill's all about regulating stablecoins and opening Pandora's box...
"This bill puts the brakes on Federal Reserve Banks from issuing a Central Bank Digital Currency. It's a solid bill that's got your back, but it's facing a grim fate in the Senate," Greene declared. She's spilling the tea that Senate leadership is signaling not enough votes to pass the CBDC prohibition.
But that's not all! Greene's also standing behind the Clarity Act for its self-custody protections. But she's waving a red flag, warning about potential Senate tweaks.
"I'll be voting NO faster than a crypto crash if they yank out those self-custody protections," Greene's laying down the law.
This congresswoman is connecting the dots between today's digital currency developments and the 1971 decision to ditch the gold standard. She's calling it "ridiculous" and blaming it for kneecapping the dollar.
Greene's sounding the alarm about the shift from cold, hard cash that you can "hold in your hand, hide from the government, and save for yourself and your family" to these digital systems that could be straight out of Big Brother's playbook.
And get this - former State Representative Tim Cahill is backing up Greene's concerns. He's dropping the bombshell that these policies would be pushed through under President Trump's watch, despite all the tough talk against them before.
Cahill's pointing to E-ZPass toll systems as a prime example of how going cashless opens the floodgates to more surveillance and sneaky fees.
"He's more focused on cutting any deal possible than actually making the right deal," Cahill's calling out the big shots.
