Earlier promises had assured conservatives that the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act language would be included in this must<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-administration-asks-supreme-court-to-drop-challenge-to-men-only-draft\/\" title=\"Biden Administration Asks Supreme Court To Drop Challenge to Men-Only Draft\">-pass defense bill<\/a>. Republicans like Rep. Keith Self adn Rep. Chip Roy have criticized the omission, with some threatening to oppose the bill despite backing procedural votes. The bill is still expected to pass, likely with Democratic support.<\/p>\n<p>Supporters of the anti-CBDC language, including Rep. Tom Emmer,argue that a CBDC would undermine privacy,individual freedom,and free-market principles by enabling government surveillance over financial transactions. They point to examples such as china&#8217;s social credit system and Canada&#8217;s freezing of bank accounts during protests as warnings of the potential for abuse.The underlying concern is that a federally controlled digital currency could lead to intrusive oversight and control over Americans&#8217; spending and financial behavior.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>House Republicans are again declaring war on Speaker Mike Johnson after a proposal that would ban the Federal Reserve from issuing a central bank digital currency was not included in the recent national defense spending bill.<\/p>\n<p>During the summer, Johnson promised conservative members that their proposal would make it into the defense bill now before the House, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axios.com\/2025\/12\/10\/mike-johnson-ndaa-cbdc-surveillance-state-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Axios<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Anti-CBDC language from the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act had been rolled into the National Defense Authorization Act when it was first passed by the House, but it is no longer in the version members will vote upon this week.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Conservatives were promised that language banning a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) would be included in the must-pass National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA),&rdquo; Rep.

It is government-controlled programmable money that, if designed without the privacy protections of cash, this could give the federal government the ability to surveil and restrict Americans&rsquo; transactions and monitor every aspect of our daily lives,&rdquo; Emmer explained.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In other words, every dollar you spend, where you spend it, who you spend it with would all be visible to and tracked by the watchful eyes of Washington,&rdquo; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The Chinese Communist Party employs a CBDC that is being used to monitor and restrict citizens&rsquo; spending. The data is being used to develop a social credit system that rewards or punishes individuals based on their spending behavior,&rdquo; he continued.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;In Canada, the former Trudeau Administration demonstrated the power of federal financial surveillance and control when it froze the bank accounts of hundreds of truckers protesting the COVID vaccine mandate in 2022,&rdquo; Emmer wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Surely this <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >totalitarian surveillance tool<\/a> would never take root in the United States; however, that assumption would be wrong.
