There is such a thing as 'perception management'. I watched the video at the link below last night, it's a finance video and in the first 15 minutes, a clip is shown from a Nov 22 meeting of the FDIC Systemic Resolution Advisory Committee where the members discuss exactly that. It's scary to watch and I absolutely recommend watching the entire 1 hour video: https://www.kitco.com/news/video/show/VRIC-2023/4395/2023-02-07/It-is-too-late-to-stop-The-Great-Reset-CBDCs---Lynette-Zang#_48_INSTANCE_puYLh9Vd66QY_=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.kitco.com%2Fnews%2Fvideo%2Flatest%3Fshow%3DVRIC-2023
