Federal Government Wants Banks to Report: Did you buy at Bass Pro or at the Bible Book Store?

U.S. Congress ^ | January 23, 2024 | John Leland 1789

[John Leland 1789]

Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan says, "We now know the federal government flagged terms like “MAGA” and “TRUMP,” to financial institutions if Americans completed transactions using those terms.

"What was also flagged? If you bought a religious text, like a BIBLE, or shopped at Bass Pro Shop."

This has been tracked for a decade plus.

There doesn’t need to be gun registration. They know who has them.

[SuperLuminal]

Definitely both heinous acts are punishable by death...

Cash only. Go to an atm, withdraw what you need, make cash transaction.

[mairdie]

Or did you write a check to Trump or one of his political support organizations.

[EvilCapitalist]

Bingo!

[carton253]

Time to buy a new Bible.

Communism....

And adding this
From the US Constitution

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion;

[rktman]

Guess some folks may be too lazy to do that. It ain’t like the govt can’t do whatever anyway. They just want it easier.

[Pajamajan]

Yet another reason cash is king.

[MachIV]

I purchased a copy of the Geneva bible from Amazon last year. That probably really got their attention.

[Red Badger]

That’s why they will get rid of cash...........

[fwdude]

I understand now that banks are required to ask depositors who withdraw a large sum of cash the reason for the withdrawal. I’m not sure of the amount, but it’s a LOT less than $10k.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

Until gov’t forces everyone into a digital currency so they can track stuff like this..

[mad_as_he$$]

In Texas one can buy ammo and a Bible at a restaurant. AI figure that one out.

[packagingguy]

And they can deny the transaction.

[Karoo]

Is there not a limit to how much you can withdraw? I tried to withdraw 800 dollars yesterday at bank atm, and they would not let me.

[ridesthemiles]

PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO FISH ARE A DANGER TO THE DEMS???

WHO KNEW???

[rktman]

Some do have daily limits. IIRC $600/day on mine. Wait a day and get out the balance you need.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

and if they do deny it, it will not stop them from putting you into “the file” for future reference...
