FEDS Squeeze Banks.......

Yep, I read the article in the WASH.TIMES this morning.....

"Remember, the first step in establishing a dictatorship
is to disarm the citizens; the second step is to control
their money; third, to inhibit their freedom to rise
up in vocal opposition to that which is laid upon them,
and then; brainwash your children with "State" education.
And History proves it. Si vis pacem, para bellum"......Me

P.s. Just in case you are wondering.......

The Gummint has been on Firearms grab for years;
The "Bank" program has been going on for at least 3 years;
There is a large anti-Constitution group bent on changing or
eliminating the First Amendment...and others
And, finally (so far) there is "Common Core", that Nationwide
push to set "Standards of Education" for the Country.....

Just what else do you need to know?????

It seems to me that the 2014 mid-terms will be a watershed. The progressive-socialists are in an all-out push to control no only the agenda, but the dialogue too. If freedom doesn't prevail this November, 2016 will be a fete de compli with little recourse left other than to succumb or die.

Excuse me while I brush off an old speech that has been hanging around for approx 250 years.

There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free--if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending--if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained--we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength but irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable--and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

I guess I'll open a credit union that caters to strip clubs/porn shops, gun stores, and liquor stores. I'll call it ATF and T&A BANK.

 

[Afrikeber]

Fight fire with fire. Start up a credit union that supports the 2nd Amendment through business loans to gun shops, ammunition start ups, etc. gun owners can support the credit union by using credit cards issued by the 2nd Amendment Credit Union. Who needs big banks?

 

[Jim12]

Security firms should refuse to provide armed security to anti-2A banks, and to all other anti-2A businesses. Otherwise, they're not just being hypocrites, but aiding their own demise. My local Bank of America branch has an armed security guard standing outside, rain or shine.

I saw an article somewhere else about Chase bank closing the bank accounts of porn stars. Any truth to that? Can't recall where I saw it. Maybe foxnews.com...

It has been in some other outlets: UK's Daily Mail and Breitbart.com. All are labeled "right leaning" but I think some other news outlets have covered it too, but from the porn angle (porn actresses are losing their accounts too).

It's really all about regulation as a cudgel: Feds are just going to make it very expensive to do business with "undesirables". Of course, if a social conservative gets into office and tries to do the same thing with, say, abortion clinics, left wing bookstores, etc. expect a huge outcry in the media. If it wasn't for double standards, Progressives wouldn't have any standards at all.

 

[teratos]

It's amazing that someone exercising a fundamental Right enshrined in the Constitution can be considered "undesirable". The ensuing court cases should be interesting. This is a Civil Rights violation.

I don't buy it. And even if true bankstets will never go along with it. They are still laundering drug money and doing business with Iran (in contravention of law). As long as they can make a buck they'll do it.

Well blow me down! I eat my words.

So, to recap: drugs and the government of Iran = good; guns and porn = bad.

Fellas, you KNOW we are in an unpopular group when we are on a lower rung than drug cartels and terrorist mullahs.

Never fear the ACLU will take the porn case...
