Justice Department rolls out an early form of capital controls in America

March 20, 2015
Sovereign Valley Farm, Chile

Imagine going to the bank to withdraw some cash.

Having some cash on hand is always a prudent strategy, and especially today when more and more bank deposits are creeping into negative territory, meaning that you have to pay the banks for the privilege that they gamble with your money.

You tell the teller that you’d like to withdraw $5,000 from your account. She hesitates nervously and wants to know why.

You try to politely let her know that that’s none of the bank’s business as it’s your money.

The teller disappears for a few minutes, leaving you waiting.

When she returns she tells you that you can collect your money in a few days as they don’t have it on hand at the moment.

Slightly irritated because of the inconvenience, you head home.

But as you pull into your driveway later there’s an unexpected surprise waiting for you: two police officers would like to have a word with you about your intended withdrawal earlier…

If this sounds far-fetched, think again. Because it could very well become a reality in the Land of the Free if the Justice Department gets its way.

Earlier this week, a senior official from the Justice Department spoke to a group of bankers about the need for them to rat out their customers to the police.

What a lot of people don’t realize is that banks are already unpaid government spies.

Federal regulations in the Land of the Free REQUIRE banks to file ‘suspicious activity reports’ or SARs on their customers. And it’s not optional.

Banks have minimum quotas of SARs they need to fill out and submit to the federal government.

If they don’t file enough SARs, they can be fined. They can lose their banking charter. And yes, bank executives and directors can even be imprisoned for noncompliance.

This is the nature of the financial system in the Land of the Free.

And chances are, your banker has filled one out on you—they submitted 1.6 MILLION SARs in 2013 alone.

But now the Justice Department is saying that SARs aren’t enough.

Now, whenever banks suspect something ‘suspicious’ is going on, they want them to pick up the phone and call the cops:

“[W]e encourage those institutions to consider whether to take more action: specifically, to alert law enforcement authorities about the problem, who may be able to seize the funds, initiate an investigation, or take other proactive steps.”

So what exactly constitutes ‘suspicious activity’? Basically anything.

According to the handbook for the Federal Financial Institution Examination Council, banks are required to file a SAR with respect to:

“Transactions conducted or attempted by, at, or through the bank (or an affiliate) and aggregating $5,000 or more…”

It’s utterly obscene. According to the Justice Department, going to the bank and withdrawing $5,000 should potentially prompt a banker to rat you out to the police.

There’s something else about this that I want to point out, though: this may be a very early form of capital controls in the Land of the Free.

Full repeal of the Patriot Act!!! Plz sign this petition, NOW IS THE TIME! Thx.

“A pair of House lawmakers wants to completely repeal the Patriot Act and other legal provisions to dramatically rein in American spying.” — The Hill, 3/24/15

Friend—

Since 2001, the government has used the Patriot Act to claim enormous, terrifying new powers to spy on Americans.

And with some of the Patriot Act’s most controversial provisions set to expire this spring — including one that the NSA claims lets it collect private data about all of our phone calls — we have a big opportunity to put a stop to widespread, indiscriminate surveillance.

Many of these provisions were only supposed to be authorized for a number of years. Unfortunately, Congress has allowed itself to be backed into a corner on rubberstamping reauthorization of the law year after year.

We can’t let that happen again. Click here and tell Congress we need to repeal the Patriot Act, not rubberstamp its reauthorization.

After the leaks by Edward Snowden, even the original Patriot Act author Rep. James Sensenbrenner has said that the authority claimed by the government to spy on Americans far exceeds the intent of the law.

Good news: last week, Representatives Mark Pocan and Thomas Massie introduced the Surveillance State Repeal Act, which would repeal the Patriot Act and restore our constitutionally protected civil liberties.

This is big. Demand Progress is joining with CREDO Action to gather signatures in support of SSRA — can you add your name to our petition?

Sure, getting a full repeal of the Patriot Act will be an uphill battle. But Congress won’t move to restore our civil liberties unless we demand it.

Ask Congress to support the Surveillance State Repeal Act — it takes just a second.

Let’s make the Patriot Act history.

Damning Evidence: “No Feelings.” How US Advisors Teach Ukrainians to Be Killing Machines!

Sometimes when ppl are in a very deep sleep, they can only be awakened by the harsh realities of life. Experience is the best teacher as the saying goes. Let’s pray this “lost” generation of Ukr. youths embrace their humanity and lay down arms. Heightened consciousness and passive resistance will disarm the most rabid oppressor. Sadly, the times we’re living thru are necessary for evolution of consciousness as you so correctly point out Lada.

Futurist Trendcast

The damning video below shows a training session in Kiev, Ukraine, for the Ukraine army/national guard soldiers. This American, who explains that he used to work in the US, rehabilitating the worst drug addicts and axe murderers, says he ‘believes’ in people. “No feelings in war,” he repeats like a mantra.  This is brainwashing at its best, as many of us have suspected all along. It has been suspected for the longest time that Americans are using all kinds of open brainwashing and MK ultra techniques on Ukrainians, and no doubt, on other Eastern Europeans. Finally, the evidence is coming out!

“Your senses have to be fully alert, but no feelings and emotions” (yes, god forbid you feel sorry or remorseful for the children you’ve killed in Donbass). This is a nazi killing machine preparation protocol in action!

The whole thing is in English, plus the translator is providing Russian translation…

People, plz start thinking for u’rselves… multiple Malaysian planes “disappearing”, shot down, unexplainable crashes like this. All within a year, coincidence… Really? Who stands to benefit from these false flags? Get the idea…                    R.I.P.  to the victims. 😦

You have heard of the Christmas Crotch Bomber, do we now have the “Piss Break Plunger?”

by Gordon Duff with Col Jim Hanke, Lt. Col Steve Avery and FBI SSA Fred Coward

Last night, after consulting with team members, I broke the story of Flight 9525 on the Rense Radio Network.  Not only was this no accident, it wasn’t a suicide either.  This is a “fly by wire” jet.  International convention required this plane to have certain anti-hijacking safeguards.  One of them, complicated by German pig-headedness, left a co-pilot alone in a cockpit, something illegal in the US.

As humorist Rob Hanson points, out, what kind of plan figures a pilot can’t make two hours without a bathroom break?  It all falls apart here, I hope you see it.  Thank you Robert Hanson, the blind will lead us out of the wilderness.

There is nothing about yesterday’s crash of Germanwings 9525, a two hour shuttle flight from Barcelona to Dusseldorf that can believed.  Were this one crash, we might begin to accept what we expect, lies and deceit, but it isn’t one crash.  This is the third?  Are there more?  Planes disappear, they are shot down by non-existent missiles seen by satellites suddenly disabled and radar that has conveniently failed, up to 15 independent systems.

Then again, there is the human factor.  Is the “Charlie” episode, equally tragic-farcical a type of plane crash, clearly not-so-impromptu street theatre, so much like the Boston event or Sandy Hook or London or Madrid, where these carelessly staged plays are acted out before a public increasingly incredulous to it all.

If you think this is a tragedy or something a bit unusual, perhaps odd, you aren’t paying attention.  They have so much more of this planned.  You are being punished.  From Netanyahu’s infamous “Fink’s Bar diatribe” of 1990:

“If we get caught they will just replace us with persons of the same cloth. So it does not matter what you do, America is a golden calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the world’s biggest welfare state that we will create and control. Why? Because it is the will of God and America is big enough to take the hit so we can do it again and again and again. This is what we do to countries that we hate. We destroy them very slowly and make them suffer for refusing to be our slaves.”  (Credit to the Defense Intelligence Agency of the United States Department of Defense)

We all knew this one was coming, coinciding with so many events, the meltdown of Kolomoisky and his thugs in Ukraine.  20,000 Iranian troops are engaged in battle around Tikrit, now under a carefully coordinated American air umbrella, an American now closely aligned in war alongside Syria and Iran.

A few hundred miles away, a Saudi led coalition prepares to enter Yemen on behalf of the Islamic State/Al Qaeda coalition being held off by Iranian backed Houthi militias.

More from Rense

Reading the tale of French air traffic controllers watching 9525 plunge inexorably ground ward is equally incredulous.  This plane has a remote, satellite initiated fly by wire system.  You see, 150 passengers and crew are one thing.  Crashing a plane into a hospital, stadium or nuclear power plant, such as the ones directly under 9525’s flight path, is reason to initiate through satellite the Raython system.

Did the French forget it existed?  Oh, did we tell you that the same system that can automatically land planes can crash them as well?  Did we mention that the source code for the system is “less than secure” and that a nation known for cyber attacks, China, Russia, Israel or even the United States, is quite capable of taking control of any airliner at any time and plunging it into anything at all?

What is even better is that no investigator can legally mention this, no reporter can write of it, no one can admit such a system exists though any idiot with the money to buy a couple of drinks at an airport bar can find out.  Pilots gossip like nobody’s business.

We can go further, we can tell you exactly how it works, what frequencies, how airports are selected and how a covert system meant to protect air passengers from tragedies like this and the rest of us from having hundreds of tons of aluminum and body parts dropped on our heads, is updated and patched.

If You Thought This Was Enough

Last night we brought something else out on Rense.  DARPA, the American version of the famous “Q” branch of James Bond films, was tasked in 2010 to build a robot destroyer, a 100 plus foot long ship that could hunt down diesel nuclear armed subs.

You see, back in 2001 one such sub, a German built diesel sub fired a cruise missile into a building a few miles from the Capitol in Washington DC.  The missile skimmed across the Potomac, its every move watched by AEGIS defense ships off Maryland and New Jersey, monitored by Dick Cheney who had ordered the JLens backed defense system which doesn’t exist.

Accidents Do Happen

We have accidents, we have suicides and then we have events that continually violate statistical probabilities at “trillions to one” levels.  This is no suicide, it is a revenge attack perpetrated by a national intelligence agency.  You will never know what it is revenge for, what it warns of or who it is intended to leverage.

You will never know, not this time, not 9/11, not “Charlie,” not any of it.  Don’t try to figure it out.  There is an issue of access.  I can speak personally of this to a point.  I remember a meeting maybe 18 months ago.  I had been getting briefings, private, official, from all the “smart people.”  Then I got on the ground, and is so often the case, realized immediately that everyone who thought they knew things, the CIA, the Rand Corporation, the CFR, were simply making it all up.

They knew nothing at all.

Have any of you ever used a satellite telephone?  Do you know where to buy one?  Could you pass the credit check to set up an account?  How do you charge the battery in a country where only 2% of the nation has electricity?

Do you use the cig plug in your $85,000 Toyota pickup truck with a $300,000 anti-aircraft gun mounted on the back?  Then again, you don’t have the money to buy tennis shoes.

And so it goes…
