The Beast Wants Control Over the Whole Earth
The new Central Bank Digital Currency, like the “Mark of the Beast,” would literally stop disfavored people from buying or selling.
Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today’s Castle Report. This is Friday the 16th day of December in the year of our Lord 2022. We are just a couple of days from a week before Christmas. Therefore, my law office will be closed the Friday before Christmas and the Friday before New Years Day. So, no Castle Report for the next two weeks, but I will endeavor to give you your money’s worth today. I will be talking about the fact that the digital prison I mentioned last week is much closer than we might choose to think. The digital surveillance state closes its digital barbed wire around us while we are sleeping literally and figuratively.
From the Revelation to St. John of Jerusalem (per the Authorised Version, authorized by HM James I, first King of the United Kingdom)
And there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them; and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear…
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.1 Revelation 13:1-9,15-18 (KJV)
The mark of the beast?
I think about the words of Revelation 13 quite often when I see the things of today happening right before our eyes although as we all know great efforts are made to make sure we only see, read, and hear the side of the empowered ruling elite. When I read that the President of the United States invited a drag queen a man so vile and disgusting his words cannot be repeated here, to the White House, in conjunction with his signing the Respect for Marriage Act, I think about it. The real food for thought today is the sobering similarity between the mark of Revelation and the Central Bank Digital Currency being tested as I speak.
So, am I saying that I believe the CBDC is the Mark of the Beast? No, I am certainly not saying that and it’s up to you to form your own hopefully educated opinions, but I am saying that CBDC is being tested, it is ready, and many if not most will welcome it. Those who welcome it will voluntarily walk into the digital prison that is the future of humanity.
How seldom people use cash today
According to The Washington Post December 14th edition, The Pew Research Center found that 41% of Americans say they make zero cash purchases in a typical week. (Here is the likely original source. – Ed.) That is up from 24% in 2018 or pre-covid. Interestingly, the higher the income, the more likely a person is to rely entirely on digital money. The Post pointed out that inflation makes holding cash less attractive, so yes, the Fed is there to help with the no cash decisions we make each day.
The point, however, is not whether digital purchasing is more convenient for you, but it is that digital currency will soon be the only way and it is intended to serve as the padlock on the digital prison door. Your currency account will be turned on by the authorities who own you and those same authorities can turn it off whenever they choose. Since it will eventually be connected to 1 billion surveillance cameras run by Artificial intelligence through facial recognition software with all data collated into your social credit score the system is similar to Santa Claus in that it knows if you’ve been bad or good. That is, good as our satanic social ruling class defines good. To be anything other than good will get your digital account penalized or as a last resort terminated.
And that no person might buy or sell, save…
That could mean no purchases at all including food and fuel. Your account is suspended so you officially have no money or no blips in your digitized account. No food, no rent money, no travel, no tuition for your kids, no anything else. It would behoove you then, digital slave, to play the game that your betters make the rules for. Take the mark, just go ahead, the propaganda will tell us relentlessly just go ahead and don’t listen to all those right-wing extremists, those vaccine doubters.
We have examples, after all, with the Covid vaccine. Those vaccine sceptics said don’t take it and you did not listen and so your three bouts of covid were not as bad as they would have been without the vaccine. What about all the myocarditis in healthy young people. What about all the healthy young athletes dying without cause, just sudden death syndrome, I guess. None of that is relevant today because it is all just right-wing nonsense so just make all our lives easier and take the mark. Just do what you are told to do continually on your news site TikTok.
A rival or test beast – China, with TikTok
The Washington Post, in the same article I mentioned earlier reports that President Biden runs a possible national security risk by using TikTok to get his message out despite concerns about how the site collects and shares user data.
Officials say TikTok, which is owned by Beijing-based ByteDance, is a security threat because of how much data it shares with China. The app has denied this, but White House staff cannot download it to their government phones.
What does all that mean, who knows for sure, but it sounds like it’s all part of the plan to implement a worldwide system of control without borders, national boundaries and the like. One global world where we are all equal and all doing time in the same global digital prison. Well, that is at least the way it seems to me.
The fact that China is the test country and the system there is closely watched by the likes of Klaus Schwab is no secret. Apparently, the global drive for a system to control and monitor every person is being run by the UN in conjunction with their partner the World Economic Forum and that organization’s partner the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. I think that since the divorce the Foundation is now known as the Gates Foundation. The system needs a testing ground, a test case population and right now that is China.
You know who these people are…
This undoubtedly seems dystopian to you as something only the worst totalitarian regimes would do, but that is definitely not the case. I told you last week that Klaus Schwab was an honored guest at the recent G-20 summit. That meeting is supposed to include the 20 largest economies in the world meeting to discuss policy. It is a kind of mini-UN or an organization of the very elite in all the world. These billionaires and their techno friends and their politician lapdogs don’t want to associate with the riff raff at the UN. Do you think that Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, Joe Biden, Justin Trudeau, or Xi Jinping want to go to a meeting and discuss strategy on an equal basis with the leader of the Central African Republic or Bangladesh?
Test cases in China and Canada
There are preliminary examples of government control of financial accounts already in play. During the recent truckers’ protest in Canada, the government froze, or seized the accounts of the truckers and those who assisted them. So, obey us or you will have your digital account frozen, the same has happened recently in Brazil during the election turmoil that has been ongoing in that country for a few weeks. A CBDC gives the government so much power that it could impose negative interest rates or said differently charge you to hold your money and charge you to access it. All transactions would be known to the government and all income would be known since only digital transactions would be legally permitted. With that knowledge there would be no need for tax returns since the government could do your taxes and deduct your payment on its own initiative.
In 2020 China launched a pilot program controlled by the Chinese Central Bank. It is in the beginning stages, but it gives Chinese authorities remarkable control and will give even more when it is complete. The People’s Bank of China has said that it would consider putting limits on the size of transactions or even require an appointment for some. So, some bank manager or really just a Chinese Communist Party functionary will be telling the Chinese people how they can and cannot use the fruits of their labor.
Chinese social credit
The system in China is linked to their social credit system whereby citizens with good behavior are whitelisted for privileges while those with bad behavior are blacklisted for denial of privileges. Here in the United States the government through the Federal Reserve is getting ready to launch very quickly. The FedNow will be an instant payment system scheduled for launch between May and July 2023. The New York Fed has launched a 12-week pilot program with American banks to test the feasibility of a CBDC in the United States. In the meantime, the IMF or International Monetary Fund is reportedly thinking of a way to connect all CBDC’s worldwide into one linked system.
Although the American people are rapidly changing and perhaps becoming less discerning, more trusting of government, and less well read, this will probably be a tough sell to them. The best salesman is always a crisis and that is why Covid was so conveniently available. You saw how quickly and how willingly the whole world surrendered its freedom and went into quarantine. The next crisis could be from energy, food, finance, or climate or perhaps all of them at once. Only the caring and considerate government will be able to deliver its children from calamity.
Get out of the Beast system
The Mark is being tested at the many levels I mentioned so when the crises inevitably comes look out. If you decide not to participate, then God help you because I suspect not many others will. Some suggestions I have made before, self-organize into decentralized communities and then deglobalize, i.e., try to avoid the vulnerability of the supply chain. Make friends with local farmers and ranchers whereby some type of barter system might be possible.2
Finally, folks, the thin threads that hold together the world’s civilizations are unraveling. They are being deliberately tugged and pulled until they can no longer hold. What lies beyond could be more frightening than we currently imagine.
At least that’s the way I see it.
Until next year folks,
This is Darrell Castle.

Editor’s Notes:
1 The word rendered “beast” here is therion, meaning a creature so wild it would kill a human being without a second thought. Likewise the word “mark” is charagma, a stamp like a cattle brand. The original “numerals” that transliterate as 666 were the Greek letters chi, xi, and stigma (terminal s). These letters could be the initials for Christos, Xulon, Stauros – Christ, wood, cross. Therefore they could stand for someone pretending to be Christ and aping His Crucifixion.
2 Revelation 13 (and likewise, Daniel 7) suggest a regime with supernatural capabilities, which might include “police” that can be everywhere. Those “police” could include neighborhood informants, like those the Stasi and Volkspolizei of the German Democratic Republic routinely recruited. But 1 Thess. 4:16-18 and Rev. 3:10 suggest that God will literally snatch His own out of harm’s way. In that case nearly every member of the population would be willing to go along. Cf. Hitler’s Willing Executioners by Daniel Goldhagen (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1996). Whether Mr. Goldhagen accurately described rank-and-file Germans in the Nazi era or not, he could be describing a “willing executioner” population under Beastly rule.
