An increasing number of Christian and conservative organizations say they’re being ‘de-banked.’ Accounts are closed, payment processors are turned off...

The Big Bank tried that with me earlier this year for some reason. It was a fucking nightmare for a couple, three months. None of my bills were getting paid. They also shutdown my sister's checking account because it's a joint account between us.

It's total bullshit.

GOP Rep. Tom Emmer Introduces Legislation to Block Federal Reserve from Issuing CBDCs in Any Form, Citing Surveillance Risks and Monetary Policy Concerns

Sep. 13, 2023

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (MN-06) reintroduced his flagship legislation, the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) Anti-Surveillance State Act, signaling a strong countermove against the Biden regime’s overreach into Americans’ financial privacy.

Emmer has rallied a significant bloc of 50 original Republican co-sponsors, underscoring the concern among conservatives about the implications of a government-issued digital currency.

At the core of this legislation is the principle that a Central Bank Digital Currency, unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, would give the federal government unprecedented powers to monitor and control individual financial transactions....

I wish I had a printer so I could compare side-by-side, but I'm glad it looks like he removed Section 4 from the first bill. Seemed like they could drive a truck through it. Not sure why it was put in in the first place.

China is doing this right now with their version if digital currency. And from what I have seen thus far, Finland has been doing it since the 1990s.

So if the FED does start this sort of thing, what will happen to coin vending machines of all sorts?

And what about those people that must work for cash? I am not one of them, but there are deadbeat Dad's out there trying to avoid child support. ;)

Yes, that's what Emmer was saying he DIDN"T want us to be like.

Soif the FED does start this sort of thing, what will happen to coin vending machines of all sorts?

And what about those people that must work for cash?

What about piggy banks? What about the Tooth Fairy? What about people who don't trust banks? What about a lot of things.

Federal Reserve and their cohorts in The City of London are just a den of thieves who come to steal, and kill, and destroy. First they took our gold and gave us their counterfiat money. Then they robbed us of our silver coins, and even the copper in our pennies. Now they want to take even their monopoly play money and leave us bankrupt or dead unless we do their bidding.

Small regional banks and local credit unions seem to be the "safest" places to bank.

I just saw this letter from the National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions thanking Rep. Emmer for his bill (they sound worried too):

a den of thieves

You simply need to recall what Andrew Jackson said of the bankers, "You are a den of vipers and thieves and by the Almighty I shall rout you out." ;)

I read the letter at that link.

The only thing I can say is since when has the FED had anything to do with maximum sustainable employment?

They have shipped most of the jobs out of the country to Mexico and central America and China. ;)
