The government-directed social media censorship and debanking shows that the problem is much greater and far reaching than this article describes.

Before January 6th, 2021, financial surveillance in the United States was largely limited to a well-defined framework designed to combat money laundering and terrorism.

No.

Operation Chokepoint.

“Liberty Under Siege: The Largest Mass Surveillance Effort in American History”

And yet they STILL haven’t caught the killer of CEO of that AARP insurance outfit (cannot remember the name). A logical question is WHY haven’t they caught him, or at least named him. We’re now pushing a week with virtual silence.

Perhaps, just perhaps, they don’t want him caught. After all, he was about to testify to Congress...

“...judicial review...” is now largely a joke.

Don’t forget banks gave to their clients information to the government without a warrant. I closed all my accounts with Bank of America and told them it was because they betrayed their clients.

AWARENESS - Investigation tools of the Federal Government, under the administration of Biden,
were turned to the activities of the American public, rather than criminal enterprise
Welcome to America - 'The Surveillance State'

"Before January 6th, 2021, financial surveillance in the United States was largely limited to a well-defined framework designed to combat money laundering and terrorism.
Judicial oversight and clear legal protocols acted as key safeguards, ensuring that government access to citizens' financial information respected the rule of law.
However, after the Capitol protests, these boundaries have shifted dramatically.
Under the Biden administration, the purpose of surveillance has shifted from securing national interests
to a tool for targeting political dissent—particularly individuals linked to Donald Trump and the "MAGA" movement. (Emphasis Mine)
Take, for instance, the scrutiny faced by those who attended rallies or made donations to conservative causes;
their financial transactions, travel records, and even personal communications have increasingly come under the federal microscope.”

”The U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary has exposed just how far-reaching this financial scrutiny has become.
Their interim report revealed that federal agencies searched databases using terms like "MAGA" and "TRUMP" to identify potential threats.
Activities once considered harmless—such as booking a hotel, buying a firearm, or possessing certain religious texts—are now deemed suspicious indicators.
Notably, Bank of America handed over customer information for those who happened to be in Washington, D.C., during the week of January 6th,
without a valid warrant, seemingly at the mere suggestion of federal agencies.
Every person visiting D.C. during this time is now effectively on a federal terror watch list.
Their purchases—be it firearms, ammunition, or Bibles—and their movements are now monitored in what is arguably the largest, most prolonged mass surveillance campaign aimed at a single political group in U.S. history.
Army veteran and former Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard reportedly found herself on the TSA's Quiet Skies watch list after endorsing Trump,
illustrating how this expansive monitoring extends to high-profile individuals as well.”

”Historically, Americans have been rightly wary of sweeping government surveillance.
Following the September 11th attacks, the Patriot Act significantly expanded the federal government’s authority to monitor financial transactions and private communications,
but these powers were intended to be wielded with caution and focus solely on credible security threats.
Today, however, the Biden administration has moved from using these tools for national defense to deploying them against political opponents.
Financial records meant to combat terrorism have now been repurposed to scrutinize those associated with conservative causes,
including those who attended Trump rallies.
This shift represents a dramatic and dangerous departure from the original intent of these surveillance measures.”

Mass surveillance (and control) is rising rapidly, year over year.

Fortunately, a Texas court just struck down the U.S. Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) from enforcing the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) or its implementing federal regulations until further notice.

The camel’s nose is already in the tent, and the new rules were welcoming the camel to come on in. We are getting a reprieve from these abusive and invasive practices. Hopefully, we will see a full reversal back to liberty, transparency, and a truly representative government under President Trump’s administration.

Took a long, long time getting into this tyrannical hole...

Will take a long, long time to fight our way back out to freedom...

IMHO, one of the first (absolute necessary) steps is to remove all aspects of the federal government from the educations/indoctrination system...

The government, and the communists who teach and administer the current indoctrination system generates millions and millions of ignorant, well-behaved peasants each year...

The current school systems need to be abolished/razed and the Nation returned to locally controlled neighborhood schools under local neighborhood-parent control...

Having communists indoctrinating new generations of communist peasants MUST stop... NOW...

Its too bad you cant comment on that substack.

But what i would like to know is what good would it do to pass more laws that the government breaks? It is already unlawful and unconstitutional. Its just sickening to think that we are at the mercy of “oversight” but only if its been on the news for 2 weeks straight and at least half the commie networks cover it. Otherwise you are F’ed

We need to get rid of *ALL* such laws.

A person should be able to buy a gun, a car, a house, or an island with cash and no ID.
