| Jim Jordan Demands Answers After Biden Admin Caught Flagging "MAGA" And "Trump" To Track Political Opponents' Financial Transactions |
| 2024-01-18 |
| [ZH] Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on Wednesday, announced that it had obtained documents revealing that federal agencies have flagged financial transactions for financial institutions for people using politically sensitive words such as "MAGA" and Trump." In a letter to Noah Bishoff - who was a former FinCEN Director (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) - and now an Anti Money Laundering (AML) officer at fintech company Plaid, Inc. Jordan described situations in which Americans buying bibles or shopping at sporting good stores might find their transactions flagged. New documents obtained by the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government reveal that the federal government flagged terms like "MAGA" and "TRUMP" for financial institutions if Americans used those phrases when completing transactions. Individuals who shopped at stores like Cabela's or Dick's Sporting Goods, or purchased religious texts like a bible, may also have had their transactions flagged. This kind of pervasive financial surveillance, carried out in coordination with and at the request of federal law enforcement, into Americans' private transactions is alarming and raises serious concerns about the FBI's respect for fundamental civil liberties. -Judiciary.house.gov "The Committee and Select Subcommittee have obtained documents indicating that following January 6, 2021, FinCEN distributed materials to financial institutions that, among other things, outline the 'typologies' of various persons of interest and provide financial institutions with suggested search terms and Merchant Category Codes (MCCs) for identifying transactions on behalf of federal law enforcement," reads the letter. |

| #2 Some Jews fought in various ways, 49 Pan. Others, like in every other group, were sheep led to slaughter. My teenaged mother while her false papers would not have stood up against the slightest scrutiny, ran messages for the Dutch Resistance. My grandfather made up false papers for them, using his skills as a licensed German lawyer, while my grandmother, who looked like the German farm girl she actually was (as well as being Jewish and a college graduate), was the public face of the university fraternity as their housekeeper/housemother, hiding the fact that the fraternity house was actually hiding thirteen Jews. The story of Anne Frank is as much about the fact that Otto Frank organized a refuge for his family and others that survived most of the war as it is about young Anne’s observations as she grew up in the shadow of the Nazis. In Eastern Europe the Jews had their own resistance groups, because many of the local ones rejected them. And while there were more Righteous Gentiles than will ever be known, in many cases if the Jews did not protect themselves, there was no one else willing to do so. Finally, the siege of the Warsaw Ghetto, which stood up to the Nazis much longer than the rest of Poland, though they had considerably less to fight with, revolts in some of the concentration camps, and sabotage in others. The story of the gentle, intellectual Jews, who like sheep accepted their slaughter, is only part of who we were and are. Warlike Israel did not spring, fully adult, into the world in 1947 out of nothing. |

| #1 We know the J6 guys are in a political gulag, we know they cheated to beat Trump, We know the white house is guiding the Jack Smiths of the world, We know the FBI has call all who voted for Trum "The" existential threat to our nation, we know the media is working for the CIA with plan Mockingbird, we know the impeachment over Russia was initiated by McCain and then finalized by Hillary, we know these are not conspiracies but truths. What we dont know is if American citizens will stand up to this, of will we take the page in history from the Jews in the 40 and let this happen to us without a fight. |
