(The National Pulse)—President Donald J. Trump has signed an executive order barring federal agencies “from undertaking any action to establish, issue, or promote central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).” The controversial fiat digital currencies are issued by central banks in lieu of paper money and fall into the specific category of Retail CBDCs. Additionally, central banks can issue Wholesale CBDCs, which act similarly to a central bank’s reserve system.
Also contained in the executive order are directives aimed at rescinding harmful regulations enacted by former President Joe Biden that negatively impact cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. “The Executive Order revokes the previous Administration’s Digital Assets Executive Order and the Treasury Department’s Framework for International Engagement on Digital Assets which suppressed innovation and undermined U.S. economic liberty and global leadership in digital finance,” a White House statement reads.
President Trump’s move comes just over a year after The National Pulse reported that he pledged to prevent the creation of a CBDC by the U.S. government while campaigning in New Hampshire. “As your president, I will never allow the creation of a Central Bank Digital Currency. Such a currency would give the federal government absolute control over your money. This would be a dangerous threat to freedom—and I will stop it from coming to America,” Trump said on January 17, 2024.
Under former President Joe Biden’s Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, CBDCs saw a revival of interest from government policymakers. The Biden Treasury Department undertook studies on how to implement the use of a CBDC in the American economy. However, critics, including members of the Federal Reserve, have pointed to a digital currency’s potential to undermine the U.S. dollar—already the global reserve currency.
In addition, numerous anti-CBDC activists argue the government-controlled digital tender could be abused to de-bank and spy on Americans.
Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
