LIVE @6PM: Scriptures And Wallstreet- CBDC Mark of the Beast Plans to Take Your Guns

Music playing.
And the one final note I will make is that if you think about the benefits of digital money, there are huge potential gains.
It's not just about digital forms of physical currency.
You can have programmability, you know, units of central bank currency with expiry dates.
You could have, as I argue in my book, a potentially Better and some people might see it or a darker world where the government decides that units of central bank money can be used to purchase some things but not other things that it deems less desirable like say ammunition or drugs or pornography or something of the sort and that is very powerful in terms of the use of a CBDC and I think also extremely dangerous for central banks because ultimately if you have different units of central bank money with
different characteristics Or if you use central bank money as a conduit for economic policies in a very targeted way, or more broadly for social policies, that could really affect the integrity of central bank money and the integrity and independence of central banks.
So there are wonderful notions of things that can be done with digital money, but again I fear that technology could take us to a better place, but equally has the potential to take us to a pretty dark place.
One thing that I do love about scriptures is that it's never wrong.
Society has made it to be some conspiracy theory or just a great message or a book of parables or just like the Muslims preach that Jesus was a great prophet.
This is the watered down version of what is a book full of amazing war stories.
A book that is God breathed with His Holy Spirit.
A book that is literally living.
Like when you read this book, you have a manifestation of the Holy Spirit when you read the Bible.
This is what society wants us to think that this book is just a regular book.
Let it be a paperweight for you or a door holder or wherever you have your Bible.
Guys, every single day we need to spend time with God.
I can get on this podcast twice a week and talk about money and talk about retirement and what the government's going to do and offensive traps to your IRA and And how pensions could run out.
I could talk about pretty much anything retirement related.
And that's why I created this show.
Is that we can speak truth.
We can be vulnerable.
We can be authentic.
Because we serve a Lord that's redeemed.
That gives us that spirit of redemption.
We're all sinners.
We all fall short.
So my aim for this podcast is that you avoid the financial serpents and that I can speak truth into your life and that this is not just about sponsors or getting clients or making money.
It legitimately is Speaking the truth about Wall Street, speaking the truth about the lows of the money issues that are going on in our country, and how you can brace yourself for the financial storm that could happen, that will happen.
And I want you guys to be prepared.
So let's not forget that the aim of this show is to speak the light.
I want to be like a lighthouse and not a tugboat.
If you guys heard the parable of the tugboat, goes and risks his own life just to pull one boat at a time.
Where a lighthouse is able to...
Be a lighthouse and be a source for many boats to come and to see many, many people.
So I pray it is my prayer that people will acknowledge Christ as their Father and that we all fall short and that we need a living Savior.
His name is Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
And that we cannot do life without Him.
That we need our name in the book of life.
I felt like I just needed to say that because we've gotten so far from what the truth is.
There's only a few absolute truths.
The absolute truth is haircuts, death, and taxes, right?
So...
We will die.
And everything that I teach, everything that I discuss on this podcast will die too.
Except for God's word.
And so I encourage you to spend time with God.
Read your Bible.
Get into it.
Don't have a time frame.
Don't limit yourself.
And if that's not enough for you, then grab a journal, grab a notepad, and literally, I kid you not, if you just go in the woods and ask God three questions, Lord, what do you want me to know?
Number two, why did you create me?
And number three, How can I honor you?
Or what would you like for me to do?
Those three major questions, guys, I promise you, if you spend 45 minutes in the woods and just complete calm and peace and seeking His face, God will speak to you.
He'll give you the knowledge that you wouldn't believe.
People forget that The Holy Spirit is really there to translate God's love into our hearts so that we can manifest it, so that we can simply be comforted by His Spirit.
But more importantly, if we seek His face and just ask, just ask Him the tough questions.
Ask Him.
He is your Father.
He wants to bless you.
He wants to help you.
Like, why do we forget this?
I know, because there's deadlines.
The battery is dead on the device that you're watching.
Maybe you get a text message.
Maybe you see a YouTube ad.
Maybe there's a distraction.
There's a hot looking girl if you're a guy and you click on it and you fall into lust when God really has you listen to his podcast because he wants to share a message with you.
I know because that was me for many years.
So I just wanted to make sure that you guys understand the aim of this podcast is really just to focus and do a check-in in our hearts on a weekly basis.
I record twice a week.
Sometimes I'm not on time, but because I run a financial practice, things get hectic.
But my commitment to you guys is just dumping and dumping and dumping content after content after content.
I've been doing this for 20 years, close to 20 years.
There's a lot in my head that I can share right off the cuff and there's some concerns that I could share right off the cuff.
And today we're going to talk about those concerns.
My concern for this week is actual, from my last podcast, is the CBDC. I believe it's the Mark of the Beast technology.
I'm not saying it is the Mark of the Beast, but I am saying that the technology is here to implement the Antichrist.
The technology is here to implement the social credit score.
The technology is here to take your guns away.
So what I mean by this blockchain technology that is associated with CBDC, Central Banking Digital Currency, I would say what you need to understand, guys, is the government is very, very smart.
Very smart.
I read this 40-page white paper on the Federal Reserve website.
I wanted to learn more about it from their view.
And here is a little bit snippet of the PDF. It's 40 pages long.
You can read it.
But I wanted to say something real quick as we look at this screenshot here.
If you can pull a screenshot right now.
The privacy and data protection and prevention of financial crimes.
Consumer privacy.
Right here in the middle.
A general purpose CBDC would generate data about users.
Financial transactions in the same ways that commercial bank and non-bank money generates such data today.
In the intermediate CBDC model that the Federal Reserve would consider intermediaries would address privacy concerns by leveraging existing tools.
Did you hear that?
In the intermediate CBDC model that the Federal Reserve would consider intermediaries would address privacy concerns by leveraging existing tools.
What existing tools are you talking about?
And why are we talking about financial transactions in the same way that commercial bank and non-bank money generates such data today?
So that's it.
They just admitted that they're using the same technology now as they will in CBDC. So guys, they're already tracing and tracking information.
They're already basically allowing themselves to enter in your bank account and just have all the information there.
So they just submitted on a white paper their cards.
I mean, that's the way I read it.
Forgive me if I'm wrong.
Forgive me if I'm wrong.
I'm not an attorney.
I'm just a securities licensed financial advisor with an opinion that loves God and this country and cares about people making the right decisions for their retirement.
And if that's you, give us a call at 813-448-3446.
You can reach us at CortezWM.com if you don't want to call and you simply just want to book an appointment online.
I am a financial advisor.
I do not give security advice on this podcast.
Everything on this podcast shared today is just educational purposes only and not investment advice if you want.
Investment advice.
Give us a call.
Give us a shot.
813-448-3446.
You can also email us any questions at info at CortezWM.com.
No, I got that out of the way.
So yeah, I'm reading this 40-page PDF before I hit the record button, and it just dawned on me that this is actually technology of Mark of the Beast.
This is what Revelations talks about.
This is what Big Brother 1984 or 1983 talks about.
They have been doing this for decades.
So I don't want to say it's too late.
We're already in the mud, guys.
They've been tracking us, man.
They've been playing us.
We think we're all safe.
I don't care if you have a privacy.com card.
That's just there to make money off of you.
Guys, there's no hiding the financial transactions.
They just admitted on the white paper I'm showing you right now from the Federal Reserve themselves.
I'm not pulling this from some podcaster that's not even licensed, that doesn't have any financial backing, that doesn't run a practice, that doesn't give investment advice for a living.
I'm pulling this from the Federal Reserve website.
They just basically said they're tracking us and they're going to hire intermediaries to help them with the third-party transactions.
So, think about this landscape that is building right before our eyes.
The good news is the CBDC is not going to work.
There's no way in hell that Americans are going to line up for this.
Unless you're on Social Security, unless you need this governmental aid assistance from the government, then I really see that you're going to either make some changes in your financial situation where you don't need the aid, or you're just going to have to take the financial jab.
And deal with it.
And trust that the government is not going to steal your money and do the whole Klaus Schwab thing.
You would die broke and you would love it.
Or whatever he says, the Luciferian.
Or you would die and own nothing.
This is the way of how they're going to do it.
And I've always wondered, how in the world are they going to stop...
How in the world are they going to take our guns?
And it just dawned on me when I was reading this, incidental finding here, that the technology that is out right now, that's already established, they're implementing it now.
And as they said in the World Economic Forum, that this video here that I played in the beginning, sorry...
That they can say, hey, I'm from the government.
We're here to help you.
We're going to give you fast, easy, secured transactions.
That's how the vaccine people talked.
They said, hey, this vaccine is going to be effective.
It's going to be great.
You're going to be able to communicate without any health risk and be in population with no health risk.
Give me a freaking break.
Raise your hand if you trust the government with your money.
If you're a fan of this show, you can follow me.
You know I'm being sarcastic here.
Or facetious, whatever you want to call it.
But so yeah, this CBDC is not just a financial move, guys.
This is a big brother, Luciferian, communistic, social credit score type of infrastructure that they're going to impose with the blockchain, with the vaccine, and they will be able to establish a social credit score system.
And this is what this whole ESG garbage is about.
Larry Fink himself said that he no longer wants to call ESG ESG because he knows this is right.
They're bud-lighting and targeting and they're losing billions of dollars.
Congratulations, Larry Fink.
How does it feel to lose $80 billion or however much you've lost today?
Because there's a backlash on ESG. You're promoting an agenda.
You're trying to get rid of white people and replace them with black people.
Where's the Latino people, man?
Come on, dog.
If you're going to be racist, at least be fair about it.
Jeez.
Anyways...
What a crap show, man.
What an absolute crap show.
So, the social credit score, already prominent in China.
You can't look it up on the internet.
It's happening because China does not want any bad exposure.
During COVID, there were documentaries where they were having parades during COVID and people were dying and they didn't have any graves.
They didn't have anywhere to burn the bodies, so just burn them.
And they would just make it seem on their local TV that everything's fine and dandy, fine and dandy.
Because they have to keep up this image of strength, cleanliness, and honor, which is nothing but hogwash.
So when you have a CBDC, there's the implementation of a blockchain.
In order to have the blockchain, you've got to have these servers and the computers.
And blockchain just brings everything together for the Antichrist.
Everything together.
The mark of the beast, the Antichrist.
Remember, the Antichrist is that beast that comes out of the sea, and they're going to speak bad about God.
They're going to speak bad about Jesus.
They're going to create peace.
And people are going to love it.
And they're going to speak about the economics of what would be the best thing.
And guys, this CBDC really, really, really could be the gateway for the Antichrist.
I honestly believe that.
Because what I'm about to tell you is if you're in the CBDC and they fully implement it, they don't know how far they're going to go with it.
The government's saying this.
They're in early trials, implementations.
The world has already tried it.
Sweden has already tried it.
India, China, the list goes on.
Some have failed.
China has been quote-unquote successful with their own version of CBDC with the Yuan.
That's because they're communists and they want to track and trace and control and do all that nonsense.
But when you have a social credit score, they can track your purchases, guys.
They can make you pay higher taxes if you are lower social credit score, civilian or citizen.
They can hinder your transportation with electronic vehicles.
Because all the electronic vehicles, guys, are going to be assigned to the blockchain.
Guess who controls the blockchain?
Yep.
The federal department, highway.
I mean, just the federal government is going to control the highways and all the streets, blockchains.
All that is coming.
That technology is already here.
So just look up transportation as a service.
You literally can go in some municipalities here in America and they're self-driving cars on a blockchain.
All you got to do is download an app.
And for subscriptions, $200, $300, $400 a month, you can have a limited car rise anywhere you want with no driver.
And there's no need to have a car.
There's no need to have a oil change.
There's no need to buy tires.
There's no need to have car insurance.
It literally is going to annihilate a sector out of the automobile industry.
So the transportation as a service, and they're not stopping there.
They're thinking about boats, and then they're thinking about airplanes.
They already have electronic airplanes.
And now, in Dubai, they have cars that are flying.
Like, it feels like it's the Jetsons.
Like, this is real right now, guys.
None of this won't work without the blockchain.
And in order to get on the blockchain, you've got to have a digital wallet, CBDC, that you're getting paid in or to pay into.
So, do you trust the government on the power we're literally relinquishing in them?
It says on this white paper, as I keep on continuing to read it, that the CBDC has ability to change the financial landscape of the U.S. economy.
Mutual funds will no longer be in existence.
Money markets will no longer be in existence.
Think about all the money markets, all the treasuries.
They're no longer attractive if the CBDC, the central banks, get together and they create a liquid, secure account that's paying a dividend or a low bearing interest rate that is compounding and is quote-unquote secure.
Well, that's the definition of a money market.
It's highly liquid.
It can be in your account the next day.
Man, look at what they're doing.
So, as I was researching this, it just dawned on me.
I feel that God gives me discernment, and I want to share that with you.
They're not going to stop financial, guys.
They have full control.
They will be able to vaccinate your children that are in the blockchain using the technology.
Guys, remember, the internet was out like...
80 years ago.
And it was actually a communication tool between colleges in the 60s.
And before that, in the 40s, the internet was out with the military.
Like, they're already ahead of us.
And it was only used for military communication.
Then the colleges picked it up.
And the colleges were only able to have it for a certain amount of years.
Then it didn't get released to the public into the early 90s.
You couldn't buy anything pre-1993 on the internet.
Now you want to shop as much as you can on the internet and not go to the stores and suck in all that shedding that these jabsters took.
I know that's me.
So I don't like doing business with these woke companies like Target, Walmart, Costco, Amazon.
Go to switchmyproductsusa.com.
Buy non-toxic, all-American-made products.
You won't regret it.
Go to switchmyproductsusa.com.
And get on there.
All the proceeds help with this podcast.

All the consumables that you buy anyway from deodorants to cleaners To breath mints, toothpaste, mouthwash, hair products, skin products, a bunch of amazing stuff.
Vitamins, which are top notch.
So having this control, this is what it's about, guys.
I've been saying this for a while.
They want control.
They're going to get control.
Well, at least I think they are.
So, they're able to force vaccines.
Your child will not be able to register for school if they're not in the system, which is a blockchain.
You want to go see mom and dad?
Air restrictions.
Blockchain.
CBDC. You want to go buy some food because you want to celebrate the 4th of July and buy some hot dogs and some burgers?
Low social credit score?
Nope.
You already purchased hot dogs last month, Mr.
Jones.
Sorry.
Declined.
Here's the crazy part.
When I was in Croatia...
Three years ago, a British guy in Croatia heard my accent.
I guess we have an accent in Americans.
He was fascinated.
Oh, you're American.
I said, oh, wow, you're British, right?
He goes, yeah.
He goes, can I ask you something?
How the heck do you go to a store by laundry detergent, baking eggs, and ammunition?
He was talking about Walmart.
I said, well...
That's just the American way, man.
We have guns.
We have the Second Amendment.
And that's what makes us different.
And other countries wish they had the Second Amendment, but they don't.
So, all you guys should be carrying, you should have a sidearm on you at all times.
Go to Vanish.com and get you an amazing gun holster.
They're made out of yoga pant material, but the actual holster is high-end plastic with the ability to have a universal holster for all your pistol needs.
Vanish.com forward slash Cortez.
Let them know I sent you.
You can save $50.
They're machine washable.
You can wear them in the heat here in Florida or in the cold no matter where you're at.
And it's not like the sticky holster that I've been carrying for years where...
You don't know if you're drawing your holster or your pistol or both.
With the Vanish holster, it is a very clean and safe, effective holster.
And you actually get encouraged to wear your sidearm, your firearm more often because it's comfortable.
I don't know if you guys are like me.
I used to carry in my suit jackets the P238.
It's a very small six-hour pistol, all-metal 1911.
I loved it.
Very accurate .380.
But, man, if I put that in my front pocket and I would run or play with the kids, oh, man, that all-metal pistol, man, will hit your thigh or your knee, and it's very uncomfortable.
So having this holster is a game changer because you're prepared.
You literally are prepared, and it's a great gun holster.
Go to Vanish.com, forward slash Cortez, pick you up one.
Let me know how you like it.
I love mine.
They're great.
So, restrictions.
As long as we have that Second Amendment, It's going to be very difficult for them to implement the CBDC until I got this download and it was like God gave me this vision just a few moments ago that what if they wanted to take your guns?
You know that that's what they want.
The number one threat to any tyrannical government is our second amendment.
They sweat and fear by it.
So this CBDC, in my opinion, will have the ability to stop gun purchases.
They're going to say it's used for good.
You're not underage alcohol, pornography, Bad things, like WF said, we can stop ammunition, pornography, underage drinking consumption, alcohol.
So they're going to make it, oh man, this is classic, classic revelation stuff.
They're going to make it seem like it's going to be made for good.
What does this sound like to you guys?
Wake up!
Well, I know you guys have woken up, so...
In a good way, not the bad way.
But...
What does this sound like, guys?
This sounds like the technology to have absolutely totalitarian control.
Marxist, communist, stakeholder capitalism, the whole nine.
And that's what this CBDC is all about.
It is not about, you know, oh, they're going to take your money from the bank.
That's just a minute, very, very small thing they can do.
They can do bigger things like track your driver's license through the blockchain.
Add surveillance everywhere.
They have been adding these smart poles.
Remember these smart poles I was talking about?
Where they have infrared technology.
They even have technology where the lights are so bad, it can literally almost kill you and blind you to death.
They have infrared technology to scan your face with analytics, with artificial intelligence.
These smart poles have the ability to have cameras that can Focus on your nose hairs and spot you from miles away.
They can hear your verbiage.
And just like the Facebook Messenger on your phone, they can target certain ads.
They can target certain things.
And they can put you in a behavioral database.
You see it with Truist Bank.
When you open up a privacy account or when you sign a privacy notice, when you open up an account, it says a behavior clause.
The behavior clause, like if you're near January 6th, If you're speaking against the president, if you're speaking your mind and using your First Amendment and they don't like you or they don't stand with you politically, socially, economically, religiously, whatever, they could shut you down.
It's in their claws, man.
Read their new account agreement.
If you don't believe me, call your bank.
Ask for the privacy statement and new account agreement that you signed when you open up that account.
Go ahead and read it.
And also read all the amendments that they've thrown in there without your consent.
Let me know what you find out.
Email me at info at CortezWM.
The mark of the beast is the CBDC. You cannot buy anything without the 666.
You cannot buy anything without the mark.
They're gonna make it very difficult.
You've seen my podcast last time.
They come out with the chip, you know, the chip that's on your credit card.
You can actually get the same chip in the web of your finger, implanted, and you no longer need a credit card.
You are the credit card.
Like the chip will go in your hand, and you just wave your hand like you're waving to get a paper towel from the dispenser in the bathroom.
Oh man, it's disgusting what's coming down the pipe, guys.
I don't even want to talk about the pedophilia.
That's another issue.
But the CBDC Mark of the Beast technology, it's here.
And I honestly think this is what came to me really, really hard, man.
They're going to find a way to use this technology to take our guns.
They can use it already to stop you from purchasing guns.
So they know if they can limit how many guns you buy, they're going to stop it.
And they're going to say it's for the greater good.
You know that black AR-14?
Because there's no such thing as an AR-15.
Joe Biden says it's an AR-14.
And my favorite is those assault rifles.
I'm still trying to learn what an assault rifle is because that was banned in the 70s, right?
The machine guns?
But forget what an Army Light is, right?
Freaking idiots, man.
I swear.
I swear, dude.
These...
I mean, Trump is kicking ass in the polls.
I'm not liking that DeSantis took all this money.
I'm not liking that at all.
He smells and reeks like a rhino.
And don't get me wrong, I'm here in Florida.
I'm grateful for what he's done for Florida.
But he just needs to sit his butt here in Florida and play that card.
I don't know what his aim is.
Ever since Tucker got quote-unquote fired or let go from Fox, It was a DeSantis run-on.
Like it's a DeSantis jerk-fest.
And they're pivoting everything pro-Santis because they don't want Trump.
They don't want Trump.
Because he is exposing them.
So we've got to pray.
We've got to pray that we get a conservative back in the office that loves God and loves this country for real.
Say what you want about Trump.
He's still the only one fighting for conservative values.
We know he's taking money.
We know he has his tobacco with the vaccine.
But man, this is a crap show, guys.
So we really need to pray for our country.
But Trump is looking good in these polls.
They're just not going to announce it on mainstream media.
So I'm really nervous about the CBDC having a way to take our guns and gun purchases.
I am not a big fan of that.
When I was reading this technology on this 40-page white paper, they legit can control your transactions.
Who wants to sign up for that?
You've got to be an idiot.
So, it's, hey, here, Mr.
Government, yeah, yeah, look at my bank accounts and tell me what I can and can't buy.
Oh, it's for the greater good.
I want to be a good citizen.
That's what's coming down the pipe, guys.
Air travel restrictions.
Traffic fines.
Already taken out of your account.
Food purchases, transportation as a service, hurt your credit scores, your social credit scores, make you pay higher taxes.
If you're late to work, they'll ding your social credit report and they'll fine you for that.
I mean, the list goes on, guys.
Gun purchases, anything that the government seems deemable as a negative purchase, they can just block it.
Revelation 14, 9-11, a third angel followed them and said in a loud voice, If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or their hand, they too will drink the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath.
They will be tormented and burning with sulfur in the presence of the holy angels of the Lamb.
And the smoke of their torment will rise forever and ever.
There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image.
Or for anyone who receives a mark of its name.
God's fury for anyone that's accepting this mark of the beast.
They're going to make it very difficult for you guys to commerce.
But you as a listener...
And me, just being a vessel here, do not accept this mark.
Do what you can.
Your name in the book of life is worth more than a temporary inconvenience.
Your name in the book of life is worth more than a temporary inconvenience.
Revelation 2.10, do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer because I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days.
Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor's crown.
Thank you, Lord, for that message.
James 1.12 I wanted to share these verses I don't know why God put these in my heart or why I read these.
Actually, I do.
I apologize.
I do know why.
Because this is not an easy message to talk about.
This is not an easy podcast to do, knowing that this is coming down a pipe.
It's already here, guys.
The technology is here.
It's happening.
And we do have a solution.
We have something that will aid us.
That will aid this Luciferian takeover.
You just have to give us a call.
813-448-3446.
Visit us at CortezWM.com.
It is my prayer.
It is my prayer.
That more than anything.
That you acknowledge Christ as your father right now.
If you haven't.
And that you accept Him in your heart forever.
And that He can change your life.
Just by spending time with Him every single day.
A few moments.
That's all He wants.
He wants a few moments.
He wants you to love Him.
He just wants...
He just wants your heart.
And that little faith of a mustard seed is all he asks.
It was my prayer for you that you accept him.
And know that, hey, this financial storm, this Antichrist, it is coming.
This is a guarantee.
This is one of the absolute truths.
So, I wanted to end this podcast on a bright note.
As you guys know, I play ice hockey.
I'm not the greatest, but I did start playing three years ago, and I got good enough where I'm a captain on a C-level team.
So if you know anything about beer league and hockey, there's different levels.
It starts like D, upper D, then like a lower D, then upper D, then lower C, and upper C, then there's B, and then the old washed-up professionals play A. I'm not there yet.
I'm not even at B, but we are at a high C, so some teams are B level.
My goal is to be at a B in the next year or two, and eventually A. But we have an awesome team called the Conservatives, and the Conservatives, in the back of our jerseys, we have...
At AR-15, we have the eagle.
We have the Christian flag.
And we have a picture of a family.
And basically, we play for our freedoms.
And that we believe in.
And we're called the conservatives.
Here's a picture of that.
And we won our cup this past Thursday.
And I'm very excited.
Very excited of my boys.
We did it.
2023.
We call it the Stanley Keg Champions.
But yeah.
So, fun stuff.
Amazing.
It was great.
I scored the first goal in our championship.
I was really, really happy with a backhand.
Sorry, I don't have a video.
I was playing.
I couldn't record.
But...
Anyways, I'll leave you guys with that.
There's a picture of me and my family.
My kids were there to watch me.
So much fun.
Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed your fourth and definitely like and subscribe.
