Mark Carney Is Incredibly Dangerous – The American Spectator | USA News and PoliticsThe American Spectator

Justin Trudeau will be remembered as the most unserious man ever to hold serious power in Canada. He governed by press release, ruled by emotion, and floated through crisis after crisis with nothing but slogans and an empty smile. He invoked the Emergencies Act against working-class protesters, locked down the country for years, and divided citizens by class, jab status, and belief. But Mark Carney represents something far more dangerous.

The 60-year-old didn’t rise through politics. He was not elected. He was installed — by the very institutions that profit most from technocratic control and public obedience. Goldman Sachs. The Bank of Canada. The Bank of England. The Financial Stability Board. The World Economic Forum. Bilderberg. The Trilateral Commission. The Council for Inclusive Capitalism. This is a man who has spent his entire adult life inside the machinery of global finance and elite governance. Now, he’s running a country. Carney is no fool. He speaks in the hushed tones of central bankers. He uses the sterile vocabulary of “sustainability,” “transition,” and “inclusive growth.” But behind the euphemisms is a blueprint for absolute control.

At the center of that blueprint is the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC).

Carney has long supported the deployment of CBDCs, programmable money issued and controlled by the state. This is infrastructure for obedience sold as innovation. Unlike physical cash, a CBDC can be tracked, restricted, and deactivated in real-time. It allows the government — or its banking partners — to control not just how much you spend, but where, on what, and whether you’re allowed to spend at all. The potential for abuse is staggering. This is not paranoia. It is already the reality in China. There, the CCP links digital currency to a nationwide social credit system. Criticize the government? Restricted travel. Associate with the wrong people? Denied access to loans. Buy too much alcohol or cross the street improperly? Face penalties that follow you for years. This is not fiction. It’s functioning policy, and Carney, through CBDCs, is laying the foundation for a Western version dressed in softer language. In his vision of Canada, your financial freedom will be conditional. Your access to basic services, your ability to travel, to protest, to live — all of it programmable. A digital leash controlled by the state, managed by corporate intermediaries, and justified in the name of security or “sustainability.” Every purchase becomes a checkpoint; every transaction, a test of political alignment. Cash will not just be obsolete. It will be forbidden.

Now pair that with another thing close to Carney’s heart: Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics are sold as “responsible capitalism,” but they operate as a private-sector censorship tool. Companies are rated and rewarded not based on value, but on ideological conformity. Support fossil fuels? Downrated. Speak out against progressive orthodoxy? Flagged. ESGs create a parallel legal system — corporate enforcement of state-approved morality. The end result is the same: Speech is silenced, dissent is punished, and financial tools become instruments of control.

Carney believes in a world run by metrics, not mandates. A world where unelected boards and regulatory frameworks, not elected leaders or public debate, decide what you can build, drive, buy, or say. And make no mistake: this isn’t speculative. It’s already happening. In Germany, for example, ESG scores determine access to capital. Banks now deny loans to farmers and small businesses that don’t meet climate benchmarks. Investment firms blacklist companies that fail social compliance audits. In the Netherlands, emissions policies are shuttering family farms. In Ireland, livestock culls are being proposed to meet EU carbon targets. What was once the stuff of dystopian fiction is now administrative policy, and Carney will likely help expand it.

His rise is the culmination of a quiet shift in Western governance, from nations to networks. In this model, borders are outdated, citizens are data points, and dissent is “misinformation.” Carney doesn’t serve the people. He serves the process. And the process is consolidation. He’s already admitted as much. “I’m connected,” he said. “I know how to get things done.” And by “things,” he means the dismantling of national sovereignty, the bypassing of parliaments, and the integration of once-free societies into a global management grid. Carney is not here to lead Canada. He’s here to bury it.
