How an Executive Order Will Lock YOU Out of the Banking System
Using NSPM-7 violations as your crime

On Tuesday, multiple outlets reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent teased a coming Executive Order requiring proof of citizenship to have a United States bank account. Here’s one example from The Hill (link to source HERE

Every report frames this as another crackdown on illegal immigration and undocumented people, because that’s how the regime describes this looming EO. US corporate journalism basically regurgitates regime talking points and calls it “reporting.”
The coming Executive Order requiring banks to collect citizenship information is another extension of NSPM-7. It is how the regime will lock its enemies out of the US financial system.

1. But! How will the Saudis launder their $$$$$

Somehow I'm sure there is a loophole for global elites?

6. No doubt, Tina!

2. How is it possible...

... that the Orange Scumbag can unilaterally demand such an invasive edict? Or is this just some wet dream of Bessent's? That supercilious weasel deserves a blanket party beatdown.

5. I'm Going With B

This is Bessent pandering to his boss by pretending he gives a darn about immigration.
He needs that because his stewardship of the economy has been disastrous.
Get fired, or show fealty. He chose fealty.

7. Might be Bessent trying to get ahead of Trump's roving eye for his next target.

'Not me, Boss! Go look at those other guys who are failing to push your brainless schemes. I LOVE your overreaching, unconstitutional bull shit and am doing my part to find more ways to spread it.'

3. Banks will not be ready for this. They are so busy combatting online fraud

and answering customer questions. They have no time to add this to their repertoire of federal mandates. And this IS a FEDERAL MANDATE!!!

8. Perhaps distracting banks from combatting online fraud is part of his reasoning?

The Trump administration is pretty much all for fraud.

10. Hey, that's insight! /nt

12. Insight? Maybe. More likely I am weird enough to look at things from angles not usually used by others.

4. How can you be legally barred from access

to your money in a bank? It’s a bailee.

Would the EO apply to credit unions?

9. Might this be an oblique way to stop paying Social Security benefits?

'Oh my! You were de-banked? Golly, we now have no way to pay you the EARNED benefit, that you contributed to every day you worked in your entire life! Sorry!'

They will do anything to avoid paying back the 'loans' they took from the fund decades ago. The rich are the ones who need to be de-banked, sorta like how many institutions finally did to Trump when they got tried of being on the hook for HIS fraudulent practices.

11. I am. You should be, too.

Just in case, get your papers in order and have them available. If you don't have a passport, get one. Get a certified copy of your birth certificate, marriage as registered, etc. If your state's Real ID driver's license or ID card doesn't include citizenship info, get the "enhanced ID" version, which does.

I'm not saying what might become the standard is OK. I'm saying that you should get the papers you need to prove citizenship anyhow. Stuff happens. Be ready.
