Um, this is ridiculous.
The stock has been in freefall. They’re trying to stop the bleeding.
This is an early rollout of the Chinese Social Credit score they want to use here. Anyone questioning the overlings will lose their money (won’t be able to ‘buy or sell’ without taking the mark of the beast).
$2,500 fine by fiat. Ban on Twitter and social media.
A new term I just hear this week:
DE-BANKED.
Kanye We was ‘debanked’ by JP Morgan Chase. The poster “Catturd” on Twitter was debanked by Bank of America (ironically enough).
If they don’t like your politics, no social media (which today is access to the public forum and debate of ideas), no bank, then bankrupt you personally.
Whatever you think of Alex Jones, a billion dollars? That’s a message from the elites that anyone questioning the narrative - however looney or out there they may be - can be destroyed and everything they own taken away from them.
Can MSNBC be sued for pushing the ‘vaccine’ or the false Russian hoax narrative for years? No.
Anyone deemed to be ‘on the right’ is now a suitable target for deplatforming, debanking, bankrupting, and - at some point soon - off to the Gulag for re-education.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
