The Treachery of Banks


I don't know how much further down the rabbit hole we can fall. TPTB couldn't go after the Second Amendment and our guns with a frontal attack, so now we have Operation Choke Hold. Gun store owners are having their accounts closed to hamper their ability to do business. What part of the Constitution covers this Fascist move?
It used to be the Feds could go after your assets, including your bank account if you were connected to organized crime and your business involved drugs, extortion, gambling or prostitution. Now those are seemingly left alone as the banks, whoring for the Feds, go after honest business men buying and selling ammunition and guns. Let that soak in for a moment. An honest business man, providing items for sale that our Constitution says we have a right to own without infringement, is now targeted like a criminal. Is this not a convoluted infringement?
A bank, with all the clout of a Fascist/Socialist Totalitarian government behind it, can decide if they will do business with you if they don't like the business you're in and more importantly take money out of your account. It doesn't matter that it's a legitimate business, breaking no laws. If someone at the bank decides to finger you, you can have your account shutdown and your money confiscated.
The government thugs met with resistance over their attempts to take guns away from American gun owners. “Oh dear! And we just signed that small arms gun treaty with the so-called peace keeping entity – the United Nations. What will we do now? Those darned patriots refuse to roll over and play dead like good little sheeple.”
That's right. Patriots have known for decades, when they come for your guns, it's time to amp up the resistance if you have any sense of history. Dictators have always moved to take away a nations means of self protection before completely taking over that country.
The government can use whatever flowery, feel good excuses they like. They can stage as many false flag events (pretty sloppy ones like Sandy Hook) as they like. It will do them no good. Oh, certainly there will be some fools who believe their rhetoric that the continued loss of our liberty is only for our own good if we want to live in a Utopian society. But most gun owners in America are too smart for that B.S. Story.
So instead the government will use their prostitute banks as leverage to keep these gun dealers from doing business. Now understand that this clamping down won't affect the big boys in the production and sale of war weapons. That would bite the hand that feeds them. Those are either sold abroad or are for our military. But somehow these Fascists had to find a way to dry up the market for patriots. Those potentially dangerous domestic terrorists.
Do you remember when bankers were your friends? Neither do I. But there was at least a symbiotic relationship between banks and their customers. After the crash of 29 and subsequent bank closings those banks had a long climb to restore people's confidence in their neighborhood banker again. Most folks preferred to keep their money under the mattress or buried in the backyard.
The truth was, at the time, banks needed us more than we needed them. That was how they made their money; lots of accounts with money they could then loan out to collect more interest on. Some people like my dad paid cash for things like cars and homes. But not everyone could afford to do that, didn't want to use their cash reserves or didn't want to wait until they'd saved that much money. So they went to a bank and got a loan (if they qualified) at a specific interest rate and agreed to pay it back.
Now the bank uses your money to speculate (that's a fancy word for gamble) and if they lose the money, well then, that is somehow your fault and you are just going to be out the money. Because banking laws have changed, now when you deposit your money – or more often the money is direct deposited from your employer, pension holder, social security administration, etc, it is now considered to be the banks money. Pause and let that sink in.
Also, your safety deposit boxes are no longer safe and need to be renamed clueless chump donation boxes. I had around $3,000 stolen out of mine. Of course I filed a police report but what are they going to do? When you are handed your safety deposit box the bank person walks away so you can open it in private. How can you prove what you had in it? The wonderful Patriot Act allowed that change. It was a painful lesson that I could no longer trust my bank, if I ever could.
Banks are now not only turning your bank accounts over to the IRS, they are 'required' to file something called a SAR, which stands for suspicious activity report to the Feds. What is a suspicious activity so you don't accidentally commit one? Well, that's at the discretion of the bank to decide. Don't try to withdraw $5,000 or more of 'your' money from your account. You will be flagged immediately. As for what else is considered suspicious? That is at the discretion of the bank.
On top of that draconian move, banks have a minimum of SARs that they need to file. Otherwise they can be fined, lose their charter or go to jail. Isn't that like law enforcement being mandated to write out so many tickets for traffic violations each month or else? We know how that has impacted regular citizens.
Now the Justice Department, that bastion of law and ethics, is urging banks to file additional reports to the police and the DOJ has authorized the police to confiscate your accounts without due process even if no crime has been committed.
What that means is, your money is taken from you, your good name and reputation is blackened and adding insult to injury, you will have no way to fight back because it's now legal and you will have no money to pay a lawyer to try to fight it.
Instant replay – Banks can file a SAR, reporting your account as suspicious – the IRS or local police can then confiscate your money – with no crime having been committed – no warrant signed by a judge – no day in court – no recourse – your money is gone. If anyone still thinks we don't live in a police state, I would appreciate it if they would then describe one to me.
Of course, the IRS already does this. All they have to do is deem an account as suspicious and take the money with no complaint being filed. It's the fact that this is now legal for banks to do this and to call in the police to aide them in confiscating your money that has my hair on fire. This is the back door way that the government is going after guns. Eventually you won't be able to buy guns or the ammunition for them once the gun dealers are out of business. On top of that, you will have to be a good little compliant citizen and cause no trouble. Because if you do, the results could be at least financially painful.
But the interesting part to me is why this is happening. It's not just about going after gun business owners. The real reason is because the government is broke and they desperately need to suck up all the private cash they can get their hands on. The Feds and the government have painted themselves into a financial corner with their derivatives, their QE and endless printing of fiat money. They have bankrupted us with their endless wars and meddling in other countries sovereignty. Now the chickens are coming home to roost. The whores in Congress can't wean themselves from the Federal Reserve teat. This giant Ponzi scheme is about to blow up in their faces. They know it so they are grabbing as much wealth as they can. They want us poor, fighting each other and unarmed to boot. It is up to each of us to stay alert and to spread the word. Get as prepared as you can afford and be ready to defend yourself. As for banks, I'm beginning to understand why Jefferson felt the way he did about central banks.
