while creating a vast new market for u s treasury securities critics see the rise of programmable private money that can be monitored frozen or restricted by its issuers banks fear the loss of the deposits that are essential to advancing affordable credit what appears to be a debate about digital tokens has thus become a battle over the future of banking itself and finance why stablecoins matter stablecoins are privately issued digital tokens that can circulate on blockchain networks independently of the banking system they are designed to maintain a stable value typically one dollar per token unlike bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies whose values fluctuate wildly stablecoins are usually backed by reserve assets such as cash and short term u s treasury securities their growth has

comments ai abundance part 3 government money without strings attached posted on june 14 2026 by ellen brown project hamilton ecash and the quest for a privacy protected digital dollar the first two articles in this series explored the proposition that artificial intelligence and robotics will soon be ushering in an economy of unprecedented abundance and examined the resource and energy constraints that could limit that voluminous growth if machines eventually replace most of the workforce society may need some form of universal high income uhi as elon musk and others have suggested simply to keep purchasing power aligned with productive capacity in a world where goods and services can be produced in abundance the challenge may no longer be creating supply it may be creating enough consumer demand money to purchase that potential supply a uhi or ubi universal basic income would have to be issued digitally by the government this third article addresses the fear that such a currency would come with strings attached that it could be programmed to restrict purchases limit movement or enforce political conformity imposing a digital prison the question posed here is could a government issued digital currency be created in a way that is privacy protected not programmable and tradable like cash the answer is that it could in fact between 2020 and 2022 such a public digital dollar system was in development project hamilton a collaborative effort of the boston fed and mit created a digital dollar that stored no personal data or transaction history was not programmable to

discussed predictions that artificial intelligence and robotics will in the relatively near future produce an economy of extraordinary abundance one in which most labor is automated the contention of elon musk is that this development will require some form of government issued universal high income uhi to provide the consumer demand necessary to keep the economy functioning in a world where machines do most of the work based on those projections i argued that if a uhi were to become necessary it could not realistically be financed through taxes or debt alone but would require some form of debt free sovereign money issuance a modern version of lincoln s greenbacks the usual objection to government issued money is that it would drive up prices and devalue the currency due to too much money chasing too few goods but in this case we would have too many goods and not enough money to provide the consumer demand to move them off the shelves a source of abundant new money would actually be needed to keep trade flowing objections came thick and fast some critics saw the ai revolution not as liberation but as a technocratic nightmare ai surveillance programmable digital money and smart cities centralized control systems and a future in which most people will own nothing while a tiny elite owns the machines the data and even the government others challenged the underlying premises would ai really generate such extraordinary abundance would productivity rise enough to justify something like a uhi or is this simply another round of silicon valley hype detached from economic reality those are legitimate questions that deserve serious consideration serious enough to require more than one sequel to address them but whether or not we approve of elon musk sam altman or the ai industry itself the ai revolution is already underway driven by forces far larger than any individual actor businesses want ai because it lowers costs and increases productivity governments want it because they view it as strategically essential consumers increasingly rely on it because it saves time and improves convenience the genie is out of the bottle continue reading filed under ellen brown

brown a universal basic income ubi has long been proposed as a way to cushion the blow of jobs lost to automation under that model everyone receives a modest monthly payment enough to cover basic needs and prevent extreme poverty but elon musk has gone further on april 16 he posted on x universal high income via checks issued by the federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by ai ai robotics will produce goods services far in excess of the increase in the money supply so there will not be inflation rather than a subsistence stipend universal high income uhi would be a level of income allowing ordinary people to live well in a world where machines do most of the work musk has also said that ai and robotics are the only things that can solve the massive u s debt crisis that sounds promising but where will the government get the money to pay the uhi critics say any government that tried it would go bankrupt there are also other concerns which will be addressed in part 2 of this article here we will look at the financial underpinnings why uhi is even thinkable why ai forces a reexamination of how money enters the economy why the current system cannot scale

to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole prof caroll quigley georgetown university tragedy and hope 1966 in february 2026 the united states and israel launched surprise airstrikes on iran the officially proffered reasons preventing iran s acquisition of a nuclear weapon and forestalling its aggression have not held up under scrutiny as james corbett documented in recent corbett report episodes the nuclear pretext appears to be recycled propaganda and the scale and timing of the strikes raise deeper questions about motive the thesis that all wars are bankers wars was popularized by michael rivero in a 2013 documentary by that name his accompanying article begins with a quote from aristotle 384 322 bce the most hated sort of moneymaking and with the greatest reason is usury which makes a gain out of money itself and not from the natural use of it for money was intended to be used in exchange but not to increase at interest rivero then traces how private banking interests have financed and profited from conflicts on both sides for centuries from the founding

february 25 2026 by ellen brown image by scheerpost on january 30 when former federal reserve board member kevin warsh was nominated by president trump as the central bank s next chair markets sold off and gold and silver plunged investors were positioned for a dove someone inclined to cut rates aggressively and keep money loose and warsh has a long standing reputation as a hawk so wrote michael nicoletos in an article titled everyone is focusing on the wrong thing but nicoletos and some other commentators are seeing something else on the horizon a rebalancing of the banking system through an overhaul of the federal reserve itself in recent months noted nicoletos warsh has argued that the central bank s bloated balance sheet has made borrowing too easy for wall street while leaving credit on main street too tight that contrast abundant liquidity for the largest financial institutions scarcity for the communities that actually generate economic activity is a structural flaw that has

january 29 2026 by ellen brown a jan 17 article on quartz markets by catherine baab reports that jpmorgan chase goldman sachs wells fargo citigroup and bank of america returned nearly all of their 2025 profits to shareholders goldman sachs returned 16 78 billion on 17 18 billion in earnings meaning 97 7 of its earnings went to shareholders wells fargo citigroup jpmorgan and bank of america collectively returned tens of billions more across the six largest banks roughly 100 billion flowed to shareholders in a single year they are currently paid 3 65 on their reserves substantially more than the banks pay on their customers deposits simply for holding them in reserve accounts rather than using them to capitalize new loans tens of billions of dollars that were once remitted to the treasury now land on bank balance sheets with no public benefit attached we subsidize the banks safety underwrite their liquidity and reward them for sitting on assets without requiring them to invest in communities build public wealth or serve any public purpose it all seems pretty outrageous but as it turns out the banks are doing what u s corporate law requires them to do if they don t follow

devouring the federal budget it s time to take back the money power posted on december 16 2025 by ellen brown albert einstein is often quoted as saying that compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe the quote is probably apocryphal but it reflects a mathematical truth interest on earlier interest grows exponentially outrunning the linear growth of revenue and eventually consuming everything that is where the united states now stands the government does pay the interest on its debt every year but it is having to pay it with borrowed money the interest curve is rising exponentially while the tax base is not interest is now the fastest growing line item in the entire federal budget the government paid 970 billion in net interest in fy2025 more than the pentagon budget and rapidly closing in on social security it already exceeds spending on medicare and national defense and is second only to social security the congressional budget office projects that interest will reach nearly 1 8 trillion by 2035 and will cost taxpayers 13 8 trillion over the next decade that is roughly what social security will pay out over the same decade about 1 6 trillion a
