(Idaho Freedom Caucus Message, March 4, 2026)
Programmable money allows the bankers who’ve been running monetary policy to now control fiscal policy and essentially replace legislatures.
– Catherine Austin Fitts
A digital control grid is not-so quietly being built around us, and many are still unaware of its profound implications. This infrastructure isn’t just about surveillance; it’s a comprehensive system designed to monitor and control individuals by integrating programmable money, digital IDs, and expanding local surveillance hardware. If you are questioning the nefarious nature of the push for digital ID and programmable money, just take a look at who is backing this. A quick Google search reveals strong support from the UN, Bank of International Settlements, The Gates Foundation, The World Bank, JP Morgan, Federal Reserve of Atlanta, International Monetary Fund, World Economic Forum, Forbes, and the European Central Bank. History has taught us – or should have – that these “organizations” are the control mechanism behind much of what goes on internationally and here in the United States.
This isn’t far-fetched speculation based on rumors or fear-mongering. This is a long-held plan for America and the nations that we are seeing unfold right now. Take for example what Carroll Quigley, archivist for the Council on Foreign Relations and mentor to Bill Clinton shares in his lengthy apologetic for imperialism and central control of the world through private banking:
“The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than 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. This system was to be controlled in a feudalistic fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the systems was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the worlds central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank…sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence co-operative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.” 1
It doesn’t get more clear than that, folks. At the heart of this shift is programmable money, a concept that threatens to move power from our elected legislative bodies directly into the hands of bankers. This would allow them to control not just monetary policy, but fiscal policy as well, essentially creating a system where financial transactions can be controlled in real-time, much like a social credit system.
This isn’t a distant threat. Surveillance infrastructure, often funded by our own taxpayer dollars, is rapidly expanding in communities across the US. These systems are increasingly integrated with advanced technology, including weaponry and AI, designed to manage financial and spatial data within this digital grid. Your biometric data becomes a key component, linking your digital ID to this vast network of surveillance and control.
In response to these dangers, Senator Tammy Nichols, alongside Representatives Heather Scott and Elaine Price, introduced legislation to protect Idahoans from these control mechanisms.
Senate Bill 1299 (S1299) – The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that digital identification is not required to access government services in Idaho. This legislation protects the right of Idahoans to use physical identification, prevents government from requiring access to personal electronic devices, and limits the collection and use of digital identification data. It also provides remedies when violations occur.
House Bill 750 (HB750) – This legislation defines and regulates the use of “programmable money” in Idaho by excluding it from existing definitions of money under the Uniform Commercial Code and establishing a new framework to protect consumer payment rights. The bill limits the ability of issuers to control, restrict, or deny transactions based on lawful personal characteristics or activities, prohibits the use of social credit scoring through programmable money, and requires transparency when transactions are denied. It also provides civil remedies, attorney’s fees, and criminal penalties to ensure enforcement while preserving the lawful use of digital assets and alternative forms of payment.
These legislative efforts mark a crucial stand against the quiet creep of digital control. The convergence of programmable money, digital surveillance, and AI isn’t accidental; it’s a strategic move towards centralized authority that threatens our basic freedoms. We believe no one should be forced into a system of digital tracking or programmable currency. The work of Senator Nichols and Representatives Heather Scott and Elaine Price on these bills shows that we can, and must, push back. By understanding the stakes and supporting such measures, we can safeguard our privacy, protect our civil liberties, and ensure our financial autonomy for generations to come.
