According to a congressional report made public on Friday, President Joe Biden’s administration has gotten banks to surveil the economic habits of of their customers, especially the ones suspected of supporting President-elect Donald Trump.
Under the guise of identifying potential terrorists and money launderers, the FBI and Treasury Department sought help from 16,000 financial institutions without subpoenas looking for tickets purchased to conservative gatherings, the purchase of Bibles or anything with keywords like “Trump” or “MAGA.”
The official X account for the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government released its report on X along with the text: “Think your finances are private? Think again.”
In another post on X Friday, the panel wrote: “Without safeguards, this could lead to widespread abuse of power and debanking.”
“Debanking” is the phenomenon of a bank closing an account of a customer due to their political activity. Conservative filmmaker-podcaster-author Dinesh D’Souza told Just the News that JPMorgan Chase Bank debanked him two years ago. JPMorgan Chase didn’t respond to a request for comment.
With all of this going on, Christian Briggs, a long-time professional in precious metals is opening a first-of-its kind modern bank that will be based on the gold standard – and spying and debanking will not be part of the equation.

It was good that Dinesh finally apologized for the lying in his Mules flick.
Really-—?
“Under the guise of identifying potential terrorists and money launderers, the FBI and Treasury Department sought help from 16,000 financial institutions without subpoenas looking for tickets purchased to conservative gatherings, the purchase of Bibles or anything with keywords like “Trump” or “MAGA.” “
If this isn’t a police state I don’t know what is. This is STASI - American style!
So what currency are they going to use out side the bank.
Yes 1 of the mules out of thousands of mules was incorrectly stated.
That was a mere hostage video under duress. He and true the vote told the story of 2020 correctly.
So much for Democrats protecting democracy. And they said the Patriot Act was not a threat to civil liberties:
PATRIOT Act, or Patriot Act, was a law passed in 2001 to strengthen national security and counter terrorism:
Surveillance
The Patriot Act expanded law enforcement’s ability to monitor phones, electronic communications, and conduct searches. It also allowed federal agencies to share more information by removing privacy protections.
What lying?
From babble-on’s page: “ Let me know about financial threads, libertarian threads, and anyone who busts on my buddy Dick Cheney!“
The video has been pulled and because Dinesh was about to get sued he admitted that, like everyone with a brain said all along, the Mules show was made with fraudulent claims.
