Are You OK With Banks Helping Government Spy On Loyal Citizens?

[Ben Zonia]

Are you really OK with this?

It used to be if you kept a small amount of money in several banks because of limits on FDIC protection, you were OK.

Now, particularly with the largest banks, if your account drops below $25000, you will get exorbitant monthly fees, and if you don't want it to fall below $25000, and don't withdraw or deposit from it for a couple of years, you are subject to escheatment. If you are like most people, you get junk mail from banks all the time, and don't notice if one is important, especially when they don't send monthly statements without other exorbitant fees.

All the consolidation of banks means your once trusted small local bank is neither small, local, nor trusted. Banks have no business sharing such data on all but the real criminals and real terrorists, like the ones based in the Middle East, Communist governments who fund terrorists by proxy, and COMMUNIST FRONT GROUPS in the US, not MAGA REPUBLICANS and such. Not private citizens not breaking any laws.

All of this spying violates many of the Amendments and other parts of the Constitution.

Was that supposed to say $250, not $25K? I only keep a few thousand in two banks and a credit union. The bulk of my money is being managed by investment firms.

So what? If you have nothing to hide, who the hell cares? If you fuck around then you will find out, simple as that.

[Ben Zonia]

I agree that many credit unions look out for their depositors better. But once grandparents and parents who had them die, these eventually have to be closed for one reason or another. Years ago, my grandfather worked for the schools and had an account at GRTCU, for instance, but because we weren't working for the schools, we couldn't open a new account. Similar for private business credit unions. We were in a Christian Credit Union, but it eventually became difficult to keep it because of deposit and withdrawal requirements.

If your transactions are legal, and the government uses transaction records illegally, how is that hiding something or "f-ing" around?

These are clearly ways to persecute political opponents, pure and simple. The vast majority of January demonstrators did nothing illegal, or at max, a contrived trespassing misdemeanor. Yet they languish in jail years after, while murderers and people who beat people to a pulp are set free, and never return for hearings. So you support that?

These things are the political persecutions and purges that Communist governments have done, that we USED to call them out for.

I support the idea that ANYONE who commits a crime should face the consequences.

I hear it's better in Venezuela.

So you think contrived crimes and charges which are clearly biased political persecution should face consequences?

I hope you know that when Communists and the UN take over, they will make YOU pay the ultimate consequence. They're not going to give you a cushy job position with the new regime. You were just a useful idiot. Now no longer useful.

[ZenithCKLW]

You have quite the imagination. Give the tabloids a rest.

You (and your other usernames) should stop watching Fucker Carlson... Holy fucking conspiracy theories, Batman!

[Ben Zonia]

Tucker Carlson is not readily available anymore. Only on podcasts.

It is not conspiracy theories, but THE TRUTH, shown undeniably in videos and other exposes, that they are afraid of. The term conspiracy theory originated with the Warren Commission. SCIENTISTS have by reasonable assessments proven that the SBT is impossible. One former DISK JOCKEY supposedly proved the SBT with an animation, which won an Emmy. ANIMATIONS can show things that are PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE in real life. They have their place in CARTOONS and ADVERTISING, not HARD SCIENCE.

Someone's been doing a bit of day drinking, I see.

That's a fine word salad you have there... need some dressing?

Since we think this is likely Audiophile, he's probably getting his concerns directly from his warped Evangelistic view's of God.

I left the mega banks for a credit union over 30+ years ago and haven't looked back. As for Ben Zonia being Audiophile, that's probably the most absurd thing I've seen you eggheads post in a long time. Your sockpuppet T-TopsRustyZ-28 is never far behind. Remember what Andy Travis warned about engaging "groupies"

My advice for Ben is, don't waste your valuable time arguing with a screen name who was probably Tim Siegrist's intern at WWCK. Hurry! Tim needs a pack of smokes! Better run to the gas station on Dort Highway!
