Murder of Cash App creator, cryptocurrency executive Bob Lee, along with July launch of FedNow℠ instant digital payment system marks clear acceleration towards The Great Reset goal of U.S. CBDC
The COVID Blog® writes a lot about the global financial system because The Great Reset has three distinct, yet connected phases:
- 1) mass vaccination and subsequent global genocide,
- 2) transhumanism via vaccine software installation for what remains of humanity, and
- 3) a global digital currency tied to a social credit system.
China already has all three in place. The United States, Europe and the rest of “the West” have the first two steps running like a well-oiled machine. But without a central bank digital currency (CBDC) that is accepted either voluntarily or by coercion (similar to the lethal injections) by the masses, social credit and The Great Reset cannot happen.
Nearly everything in this world will be “virtual” by 2030. The powers-that-be (“TPTB”) will control your every move, thought and desire from a central server. The European Union is on the verge of eliminating physical driver’s licenses, in favor of digital QR code licenses. These digital ID’s are part of the greater global strategy for “zero-trust” internet access.
The Pentagon announced in late 2022 its plan to launch a program that only allows people with digital ID to access government websites and networks. But ultimately this will apply to everyone remaining on the planet. No digital ID, no internet access at all by 2030.
The World Economic Forum, in a video it said demonstrates “virtual justice with real consequences,” shows a court hearing in Colombia held completely in the “metaverse.”

ISO 20022
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is the nongovernmental organization (NGO) created in 1946, right after World War II. It is based in Geneva, Switzerland. ISO creates universal standards for manufacturing and services that all member countries follow. For instance, there are international standards for Phillips, straight-edge, Allen, etc. screws so all the same methods and tools are used from country-to-country in manufacturing processes.
ISO 20022 (pronounced eye-SO twenty-zero-two-two) is the most recent messaging standard/format for interbank secure communications. It replaced ISO 15022, which was launched in 1995. ISO 20022 was first introduced in 2004. But it took the plandemic and the threat of cryptocurrency usurping the fiat (paper) monetary system to implement the new standards.
The Belgium-based Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) is the registration authority for ISO 20022 – essentially the police of bank and financial institution communications. Universal ISO 20022 implementation allows for more automation, security and monopoly in international banking.
Note that SWIFT is controlled by the G10 central banks, with the Federal Reserve having the most influence of them all (although the SWIFT website says the National Bank of Belgium is in charge).
Countries and financial institutions could voluntarily follow ISO 20022 standards until November 2022, when it became mandatory among all the major registration authorities. The “coexistence period” started at that time for many large banks, and will span until November 2025. Financial institutions around the world can use both ISO 15022 and ISO 20022 for cross-border payments and reporting (CBPR+), until ISO 15022 is completely eliminated in November 2025.
Delays in implementation due to so-called COVID-19
The Federal Reserve announced the commencement of its phased migration to ISO 20022 and expansion of its FedWire® service on October 18, 2017.
FedWire® is the transfer system between governments, corporations and big banks. For instance, when Joe Biden sends another few billion dollars to Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukraine, it will be via FedWire® from the U.S. Treasury to a commercial bank account held by the National Bank of Ukraine. The migration was originally set to begin in November 2020 and be completed by November 2023.
The Fed abruptly announced on September 23, 2019 that it was indefinitely postponing the planned November 2020 commencement of ISO 20022 migration due to “a recent industry request.” In layman’s terms, the Fed, just like all of TPTB knew they were executing the plandemic in 2020, and had to take a wait-and-see approach with ISO 20022 migration.
SWIFT announced on March 16, 2020 (the same day as the infamous “15 days to slow the spread” announcement) that it was delaying ISO 20022 implementation from its original November 2021 commencement date to November 2022. Despite the delay, SWIFT published an ISO 20022 promotional video via YouTube on June 29, 2020.
A world of coincidences
We’re all learning about The Great Reset and the implementation thereof in real-time. That said, flashback three weeks to our March 28, 2023 article linked below. It’s a long, heavy read, that you should take the time to complete.
RELATED: A look back on geopolitical currency wars, as bank collapses, artificial inflation of Bitcoin are latest signs of imminent conversion from “petrodollars” to digital currency (CBDC) (March 28, 2023)
We wrote in that article:
The New York Federal Reserve announced on November 15, 2022 that it launched a proof-of-concept program called the “Regulated Liability Network.” The 12-week project aims to “explore the feasibility of an interoperable network of central bank wholesale digital money and commercial bank digital money operating on a shared multi-entity distributed ledger.”
Wells Fargo, Mastercard, Citi, U.S. Bank, and several other financial institutions are participating in the program. Amazon is hosting the project. It’s unclear when the project commenced or if it’s already done.
Coincidentally or otherwise, this “regulated liability network” commenced at the exact same the Fed and SWIFT commenced their ISO 20022 migration. In more coincidences, the Fed also implemented the aforementioned expansions of the FedWire® Fund Service on November 21, 2022.
The coincidences didn’t stop there. All of those mysterious deaths of crypto millionaires and billionaires started on October 28, 2022 until five of them were dead globally by December 30, 2022. The FTX collapse happened on November 10, 2022, and founder Sam Bankman-Fried was federally indicted on December 10, 2022.
The FedNow℠ Cash App-like instant payment service, and death of Cash App founder
The earliest, inconspicuously-public mention of the FedNow℠ 24/7/365 digital payment system we could find is dated January 25, 2021. That’s around the same time mRNA and viral vector DNA injections were mass distributed around the world.
The Fed quietly announced a pilot program of “more than 110 financial institutions and processors [that] will test and trial the FedNow℠ Service for instant payments.” But the Fed actually announced the creation of FedNow℠ (even more quietly) in the Federal Register on August 9, 2019. The pilot participants were all U.S.-based banks, payment processors and financial institutions “to facilitate nationwide reach of instant payment services.”
We didn’t hear much else about FedNow℠ until last summer. The Fed announced that 120 financial institutions were already participating in the pilot program which functionally sounded eerily similar to Cash App (except FedNow℠ will charge $0.045 per transaction and a $25 per month “participation fee” starting in 2024).Note that Biden signed Executive Order 14067 on March 9, 2022, calling for the creation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
Essentially anyone with a participating bank account, including merchants, could send money to anyone else with a participating bank account (or make purchases at stores, online, etc.) 24/7/365. It moves the U.S. closer than ever to being a cashless society.
The Fed clarified, on September 2, 2022 that FedNow℠ would definitely launch sometime between May and July 2023. The final announcement came on March 15, 2023; FedNow℠ will launch in July. It wasn’t until the foregoing announcement that mainstream media and bloggers even started talking about FedNow℠.
RELATED: Executive Order 14067 update: will paper currency really end in the U.S. on December 13, 2022, and be replaced by government-controlled cryptocurrency?(August 23, 2022)
It quickly became clear that FedNow℠ is a Cash App-like platform that is the first major step to full implementation of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) in the U.S. TPTB and their legacy/social media amplified a few mass shootings in late March, and Donald Trump’s arraignment in New York, to deflect attention away from FedNow℠ and CBDCs (note there were 21 mass shooting from March 15 to 31 – a slow two weeks in America).
The FedNow℠ story likely would have died completely. But yet another [non]coincidence injected (no pun intended) more life into it.
Brutal murder of Cash App founder Bob Lee
Bob Lee was the former Chief Technology Officer of Square, Inc. (now called Block, Inc.). The company, which for all intents and purposes is a “too big to fail” bank, was founded in 2009 by former Twitter CEO and co-founder Jack Dorsey, and billionaire Jim McKelvey. The latter not only sits on the Board of Directors for Square, Inc. today, but is also the Chairman of the St. Louis Federal Reserve.
Mr. Lee created Square Cash, which became Cash App, while he was CTO at Block. He was also the chief product officer for MobileCoin, the company that developed the eponymous cryptocurrency. MobileCoin made waives and drew criticism when it was integrated into the Signal messaging app to facilitate peer-to-peer MobileCoin payments in 2021. Note that Cash App added its features of buying and selling Bitcoin at the beginning of 2018.
Mr. Lee, 43, was stabbed to death in San Francisco in the early morning hours of April 4. The Daily Mail first obtained surveillance video of Mr. Lee staggering towards a passerby in a car begging for help in the Rincon Hill area of the city. Mr. Lee, according to the San Francisco Standard, was also on the phone with 911 the whole time, telling the dispatcher that “someone stabbed me.”
Mr. Lee stumbled out of view, where police found him lying on the ground, in a pool of blood around 2:40 a.m.
He was rushed to nearby San Francisco General Hospital, but pronounced dead upon arrival. He had three stab wounds from a kitchen knife, one of which penetrated his heart.
The initial social media reaction was centered around the forthcoming FedNow℠ launch and the fact that Mr. Lee created Cash App, which again appears to be the inspiration (or an exact functional copy) for FedNow℠. But this is the United States, and tribal politics was inevitable.
Mixed Martial Arts fighter Jake Shields was a close friend of Mr. Lee. Shields confirmed the victim as Mr. Lee hours after the initial reports. He quickly blamed, without presenting any evidence, a random killer in “filthy, Democrat” San Francisco.
But then the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office charged 38-year-old Nima Momeni with one count of murder by using a dangerous weapon on April 13. Mr. Lee, judging from court documents filed on Friday, was somehow involved with Momeni’s sister, Khazar Elyassnia. Mr. Lee and Mr. Momeni were also friends or at least acquaintances.
Mrs. Elyassnia is married to a prominent San Francisco plastic surgeon. But their marriage is/was apparently on the rocks, according to the court documents. Mr. Lee and Mrs. Elyassnia had drinks at her apartment the afternoon of the alleged murder. Momeni apparently did not approve of the rendezvous, and allegedly stabbed Mr. Lee later that night.
Despite the arrest, many right wing media outlets and Shields doubled down on their tribal “it’s San Francisco Democrats’ fault” position. Fox News’ Tucker Carlson apologized on the air for amplifying falsehoods. But he still indirectly blamed Democratic San Francisco for the murder.
It’s just too easy for TPTB
The Great Reset officially commenced on September 11, 2001. Granted TPTB and their depopulation agenda dates back to 1969. But they transitioned from “New World Order” to “Great Reset” once they fully understood the power of global monopolized mass media, the worldwide web, and how a fear-inducing trigger event turns the already-gullible masses into willing slaves.
Again, there are three phases of The Great Reset: depopulation, transhumanism, and CBDCs. We’ve already discussed this week how it’s very likely the global population has already been reduced from 7.8 billion in January 2020 to 6.8 billion today. The vaccine genocide, food supply manipulation and artificial weather manipulation have combined to get depopulation off to a fast start.
TPTB are well on their way to the stated goal of 500 million humans left on Earth by 2030. The remaining population will be connected to the real-life transhumanist matrix, and fully controlled by social credit scores.
We posited previous that it would take until at least the beginning of 2024 and perhaps until 2027 for TPTB to fully implement universal, global CBDCs, the final stage of complete human control. Once obedience is fully enforceable by socially-engineered fear and monetary exploitation, then The Great Reset is complete.
