Understanding the sheer scale of the Democrat effort to destroy Trump via debanking
American Thinker ^ | 08/10/2025 | Andrea Widburg

In the West, we keep our money in banks, not under mattresses or wall safes. Banks are safe and convenient, and they pay us interest on the money we store with them, because they then lend that money out and make a profit by charging interest to borrowers. That’s a good thing, as Jimmy Stewart explained in It’s a Wonderful Life. What helps power our economy is that we essentially loan our money to banks so that they can loan it to others who, in turn, can invest in the small business infrastructure that makes America grow.

When dictators wish to destroy people so that they are unable to function in modern society, they deny them access to banking. Canada did that to the truckers who protested that country’s insane COVID regime. In China, the social credit system that monitors whether people are faithfully observing government policies punishes those who fall afoul of the system by denying them access to banking.

Image created using AI.

And of course, in America, “woke” banks have “debanked” conservatives, both individuals and businesses. There was, of course, the push to debank gun manufacturers and sellers, even though the right to bear arms is a core part of the Bill of Rights. Thus, Citigroup, Bank of America, and JPMorgan, just to name a few, enacted policies targeting gun retailers and manufacturers, especially those associated with AR-15s, the most popular firearm in America.

Several conservative Christian organizations have claimed that they’ve been debanked, but the banks have insisted that the problems were that the groups just weren’t good business. (See, e.g., here, here, and here.) JPMorgan Chase refused ticket payment processing for the Defense of Liberty organization on viewpoint grounds,

The individual executives who actually make the designation and order the debanking must be clearly identified and held severely accountable.

What is astounding is that the CEOs who cancelled President Trump’s account were willing to lose billions of dollars that did not belong to them, but to the bank, and the Boards of Trustees said nothing?

How did this happen?

This will continue to happen btw.

I don’t believe there’s a peaceful solution unless the leftist simmering is controlled so tightly it dies out generationally.

Banks are tightly controlled by the government. Banks willingly do the government’s bidding (or they face penalties). So the government knew about the debanking, allowed it, approved of it, and gave it its blessings. The government was effectively doing the debanking.

The government was breaking the law. It cannot claim that the banks did it. The government did it, by proxy. A crime, nevertheless, and all those who knew about it are guilty of a crime.

While we’re on the subject, same thing with paypay confiscating $2500 from people who it disagreed with it.

Do they? 0.04% APY on savings is a great reason to keep your money in a bank, right? Sure, there are some banks that pay maybe 3-4%, but most of the major banks are pretty much criminal enterprises.

PNC Virtual Wallet with Performance Select (Premium checking) Spend Account: 0.01% APY on balances of $2,000 and up. Growth Account: 0.04% APY on balances of $1.00 - $9,999.99. 0.05% APY on balances of $100,000.00 and above

Chase Total Checking: This account does not earn interest. Chase Premier Plus Checking: This account offers a standard Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 0.01%.

Wells Fargo Checking accounts: Clear Access Banking: Offers no interest (0.00% APY). Everyday Checking: Earns no interest (0.00% APY). Prime Checking: Earns a standard APY of 0.01%. Premier Checking: Earns a standard APY of 0.01%. Savings accounts Way2Save® Savings Account: Offers a low 0.01% APY. Platinum Savings Account: Features a tiered interest rate system based on your balance and whether you link a Wells Fargo checking account. Standard APY (no linked checking account): 0.01% for all balances. Relationship APY (linked to Prime Checking): 0.02% across all tiers. Relationship APY (linked to Premier Checking): Increases with balance: Under $100,000: 0.26% APY $100,000 - $499,999.99: 1.02% APY $500,000 - $999,999.99: 2.01% APY $1,000,000 or more: 2.51% APY

So, I would guess bankers know a guillotine can’t be financed through a bank. Darn. Back to the drawing board.

The board of trustees are also morally corrupt.

“and they pay us interest on the money we store with them, “

WRONG!

There was a time it was true, no longer.

CD's don't keep up to inflation. Totally ridiculous.

Banks make billions and billions, and they are not going to mess that up by going afoul of the government and the regulators.

In return, the government lets the banks write their own laws.

Debanking is in the spirit of the Antichrist.

Revelation 13:16-18 NKJV
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.

Actually, only 20% of the money depositors have in the bank are LIQUID. No bank in the USA can survive a bank run.

Go to a smaller bank, or join a credit union.
