2025-08-07 Government Corruption
''Debanking'' is an obscene abuse of government power
[NYPOST] ''Debanking'' seems like something out of paranoid dystopian fiction, but this horrific abuse of government power is already all too real.

We're almost glad the Biden crew deployed it against then-former-President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
in 2021: That not only ensures he's aware of this outrage; it points to how even the powerful are vulnerable.

It's as simple as it is scary: Government regulators give a quiet nod to financial institutions that certain people or industries are to be ''unpersoned,'' and pretty soon they get the same treatment as North Korea
...hereditary Communist monarchy distinguished by its truculence and periodic acts of violence. Distinguishing features include Songun (Army First) policy, which involves feeding the army before anyone but the Dear Leadership, and Juche, which is Kim Jong Il's personal interpretation of Marxism-Leninism, which he told everybody was brilliant. In 1950 the industrialized North invaded agrarian South Korea. Twenty-one countries of the United Nations eventually contributed to the UN force opposing the invasion, with the United States providing around 90% of the military personnel. Seventy years later the economic results are in and it doesn't look good for Juche...
n tyrants, bandidos murderous Moslems or drug kingpins: locked out of the financial system, which means social death.

The victim gets turned away at other banks, all with no way to appeal what's blandly painted as a ''business decision.''

Just try life without any ready way to cash checks or pay bills, not even a debit card — nor, if you run a business, a line of credit to pay suppliers and meet payroll.

The abuse apparently began under President Barack Obama
My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it...
, deployed against disfavored businesses such as gun manufacturers on the laughable ground that they posed a ''reputational risk''; it expanded under President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. I'm not working for you. Don't be such a horse's ass....
to hit crypto and tech startups, as well as individuals whose opinions or political activity got labeled ''dangerous.''

#2 For my actions on January 6 I was debanked first by US Bank, then later by Fidelity.
US Bank were absolute assho7es about it. Fidelity actually sent me a letter stating "for your actions...". The letter is framed on the wall next to the piece of the capitol I took home.

I eventually was arrested in 2025, 01062025, ironic, by then nobody cared. Boasburg signed my pardon, I sent him a letter requesting a wet signature, haven't heard back.
BOA cxld my credit card, I had a few so I moved on.
It's a pain in the butt, other things are worse.

To those on this site who knew of my actions thank you for not ratting me out.

#4 Antisemites always screech about muh freeze peach
and they're right,it's not illegal to be an piece of shit in America like it is in other countries. Even Holocaust denial is legal here. In Europe there are people in prison right now for precisely that.
But it's not illegal for a bank to refuse to do business with antisemites. It's a private business.
You can't force a private business to bake a cake for you, either.
LOL

#5 But is is illegal to refuse to do business with someone because he is a Republican? This has nothing to do with Jew hate. Most of the world’s, and people’s, problems have absolutely nothing at all to do with the Jews.

#8 The GIVERnment requires federally regulated banks to compare their customer lists to the GIVERnment provided ‘bad guys’ list. These banks are required to do this. The real question to Bank of America and JPM is would you have reacted in accordance to regulations if the name on the ‘bad guy’ list was Obama vs Trump. These banks will hide behind the regulations to justify their behavior. To test their loyalty to regulations Trump admin should add Clinton, Clapper, Obama, Biden, Comey…. To the ‘bad guy’ list and see how the banks suddenly balk at debanking fellow leftists.

#10 

Where are the lawsuit lawyers for the Jan 6er's?

A class action lawsuit charging Financial institutions/companies with political discrimination would reap a few $Million per person.

When was the last time BOA or some Liberal democrat NGO group members (ANTI-FA, BLM, etc) accounts were closed for threatening the President, Jewish persons and being arrested?

#11 Oh, come ON. Biden, Brennan, Hillary etc. arent leftists. They're globalists who believe in breaking down American power and handing it to the tyrants of WEF and the Party of Davos.
