Boris Johnson’s brother-in-law ‘blocked from changing cash abroad’ amid bank blacklist row
Telegraph ^ | July 6 | Telegraph

Posted on 07/06/2023 2:14:59 AM PDT by RandFan

Boris Johnson’s brother-in-law claims he was blocked from using currency exchange abroad because of his political links.

Ivo Dawnay, who is married to the former prime minister’s younger sister Rachel, said he was told by an official at the bureau de change in the baggage hall of Mexico City airport he could not use the service owing to his status.

Writing in The Spectator, Mr Dawnay said that while attempting to exchange $200 (£160), he was asked to fill out several forms, one of which asked him if he was a “politically exposed person”, otherwise known as a PEP, after scanning his passport.

A PEP is someone who “through their prominent position or influence, is more susceptible to being involved in bribery or corruption”, according to Lexis Nexis risk solutions.

The de-banking continues...

And what is a Politically Exposed Person (PEP)?

Sounds like a Communist China type designation!

Thoughts?

I think that they created these tools after 9/11 to track, catch and defund terrorists. Those tools are now being used against opponents of the communist agenda.

Blocked from exchanging a mere $200? Doesn’t pass the smell test... So far I only see “he claims”.

In my opinion, the very fact that it's such a piddling amount bolsters the veracity of the claim.

This is the application of the social credit score, but fear not. It can’t happen here.

I told my wife after they started talking about creating this uber super-duper HomeLand Security apparatus that we’re going to regret whatever they foist upon us. My predictions seem to be coming true. I’m even more concerned about how we’re ever going to be able to make it go away.

a growing scandal in Australia:

6 July: Daily Mail: Labor in damage control after minister’s rogue tweets calling Donald Trump Jnr a ‘big baby’
Home Affairs minister slams Trump Jr. as ‘sore loser’
Trump Jr. postponed speaking tour due to visa issues
by Brittany Chain
Australia’s Home Affairs minister has lashed out at Donald Trump Jr after he cited visa delays for his decision to postpone his Australian speaking tour.

In an extraordinary spray which has forced the Labor government into damage control, Clare O’Neil described Trump Jr as ‘a bit of a sore loser’ and a ‘big baby’.
She accused him of ‘trying to blame the Australian government for his poor ticket sales and cancelled tour’ - before quietly removing the tweet altogether.

A spokesperson for Trump Jr. told Daily Mail Australia they would not ‘dignify the Minister’s tweets with a comment’.
‘Suffice to say she is entitled to her opinion and freedom of speech, no matter how idiotic,’ the spokesperson said...

It marks the second time in as many days a Labor minister has criticised the Trump family...

South Australian Liberal senator Alex Antic was scheduled to join him on tour, along with Nigel Farage, a British politician and Brexit campaigner...

Tour operators told Daily Mail Australia it was postponed ‘due to the delay in the arrival of a visa to enter Australia’.
‘The visa, which has now been issued, was only received late afternoon on Wednesday July 5; only 24 hours before Donald Trump Jr. was set to board a flight to Sydney.’...

Shadow Home Affairs minister James Patterson said the comments could sabotage Australia’s relationship with the US if Donald Trump were to be successfully re-elected at the next US Presidential election...

It will all change when THEY spend our nation into economic collapse and we're forced to rebuild things.

THEY have printed a lot of money, THEY have borrowed and spent a lot of money but eventually WE have to pay the price. Inflation is going to get worse. The debt problems are going to get worse and the US is going to suffer. Go ahead and try to vote your way out of this, but THEY have redundant layers to THEIR administrative state. And remember, THEY count our votes.

You need the mark of the beast to buy and sell.

Revelation 13:

“15 The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.

16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,

17 so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

18 This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.”

We better go after them tooth and nail when they do that here.

One massive suit, and I’ll be happy to pitch in.

Follow the Party line, disown PEPs related to you, speak no bad words about the Party, or you will be denied access to you money by the bank.

They have done far worse than just printed money.

They have cut the productivity of the American People.

For decades the people’s productivity was a partial check on the expansion of the money supply.

Thanks to government policies of expansive welfare more people than ever sit idle.

And to make matters worse the Biden government is ushering in low productivity illegal immigrants or puts them on welfare.

Only productive people are going to pull us out of the maelstrom of economic chaos.

Best to make sure you have plenty of ammunition before being cut off.
