The kind of guy who takes a $2k loan at 28% does not have any money to put into savings. People who actually have savings know where they can get 5% risk free.

Germany latest country to float chilling plans to freeze dissenting citizens’ bank accounts

In further evidence that the traditional financial system is gradually being weaponised to punish those who express dissenting but hitherto perfectly lawful views, the German government has announced a plan to target the bank accounts of people who donate money to groups and causes deemed by the state and its functionaries to constitute “right wing extremists”.

As reported by Modernity, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser recently announced a raft of measures that critics say are a direct attempt to chill free expression, and reign in the popularity of the right wing opposition Party, Alternative for Germany (AfD).

One such measure is to freeze the bank accounts of those found to have donated money to any group the government declares to be “far-right”.

Until today, I didn't realize that individuals are now being assigned ESG scores that some institutions use to decide whether they will do business with a person.

I obviously knew about ESG scores that huge investment firms are using to force corporations to conform to ideological demands. I knew that in some cases, prominent individuals or troublemakers have been blackballed by banks and other firms. And, of course, I know that some companies that sell politically incorrect items are getting deplatformed by PayPal and even web providers.

But I didn't know that an industry has sprung up to analyze individuals' purchases, carbon footprint, and other characteristics to inform banks and other businesses regarding whether they should do business with you.

Paying attention yet?

Personal ESG scores are a social credit system of tyranny based on ESG fraud and arbitrary power.

It is a full-scale social credit system being built out. Only it isn't the government per se doing this, but rather companies that aggregate information about you and sell it to actors who want to isolate dissenters from their ideological commitments.

Use cash to minimize their ability to track and block you.

Bank of America has shut down the account of an independent conservative reporter without any prior warning or explanation.

Journalist Christina Urso, also known as Radix Verum, says Bank of America abruptly de-banked her and left her without any funds.

Urso took to social media to voice her concerns and frustrations about the termination of her account.

“I have been with them for years,” Urso wrote in a post on X.

Urso believes her account’s termination was related to her reporting and documentary about the alleged 2020 kidnapping attempt of on Michigan’s Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.

The film is titled “Kidnap and Kill: An FBI Terror Plot.”

“They won’t tell me why,” she said.

“They won’t allow me access to my bank account or to the funds.”

Urso said Bank of America has informed her to be on the lookout for a “check in the mail” with her final balance.

When will the general public realize that we are less than a half a step away from...

Revelation 13:11And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, 14And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. 15And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

The Mark of the Beast
16And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. 18Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Customers with Bank of America are sounding the alarm after realizing the balances on their accounts have been wiped to zero.

Bank of America confirmed to CBS that “some clients” are dealing with a “glitch.”

The issue is preventing them from being able to access “their accounts and balance information,” according to the outlet.

In a statement, Bank of America said:

Use local credit unions instead. Way, way more trustworthy, and they give much better interest rates too.

What is the name of the bank?

Melania is also the ONLY first Lady NOT to be photographed by Vogue Magazine, even though she was featured in Vogue before Trump was president. Nope, no discrimination here.

https://slaynews.com/news/billionaire-tech-investor-marc-andreessen-biden-admin-behind-campaign-debank-opponents/

Billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen has accused the Biden-harris administration of leading a campaign to pressure financial institutions to “debank” customers who opposed the Democrats’ agenda.

Andreessen made the allegations during an interview with Joe Rogan on his massive podcast.

The Silicon Valley venture capitalist the Biden admin of weaponizing executive agencies to pressure financial institutions to “debank” companies and individuals who are critical of the Democrats.

“Debanking” is when a person or business has their account shut down and blocked by a financial system.

“The First Amendment says the government cannot censor American citizens,” Andreessen began.

“And so, what they do is if you want to censor American citizens in the government, if you’re smart, you don’t do that.

“What you do is you fund an outside organization and then you have them do it.” ...

“But what if you’re politically on the Left?” Rogan asked.

“That’s fine,” Andreesen replied.

“So, no one on the Left gets debanked?” Rogan asked incredulously.

“I haven’t heard of a single instance of anyone on the Left getting debanked,” Andreessen answered.

“You get kicked out of your bank account.

“You get kicked out of the — you can’t do credit card transactions.”

“This is where the government and the companies get intertwined,” he continued.

“And back to your fascism point, which is there’s a constitutional amendment that says the government can’t restrict your speech, but there’s no constitutional amendment that says the government can’t debank you, right?
