Loading ...Large Canadian credit union flagged ‘suspicious’ fuel purchases, pro-Freedom Convoy customers for police
‘We are waiting for more instructions,’ Desjardins Group wrote to police after flagging money being used by the peaceful political protestors ‘to pay some bills regarding marketing like signs and paper’
Desjardin also flagged to police customers who it deemed made “suspicious” transactions relating to fuel purchases.
Additionally, Desjardin went as far as reporting its customers who made cash withdrawals in the vicinity of Ottawa, which it claimed were made “in regards to the Ottawa convoy to pay some bills like hotels.”
If you need (or want) privacy you need to remove banks from the financial equation. They spy on you all the time. They call it security or helping with your “financial needs” but for some reason they won’t stop it even if you ask them which makes it pretty clear who benefits from their financial surveillance. Then “the government” puts regulations on them and they say they have to call you and ask you questions because it’s “the law” and they have to watch out for money laundering. But do they object to all these –time consuming– government regulations? No, because they legitimize the banks’ deep surveillance of their customers.
If Bitcoin and all the cryptos crash and come to nothing, they will be resurrected just because they allow for bankless banking and person to person transactions. Do we even need banks anymore with crypto technology around? What does a bank account do for you that a crypto network can’t do? I tried wiring money from my bank to a crypto exchange and it took almost a week and then failed. I spent 20 minutes with the bank setting it up and making sure we had every little detail right on because wire transfers are very picky about these things.
Crypto volatility might make them look like the wild west at the moment (maybe longer than a moment) but the system itself is the best thing that ever happened to money. Just look at who opposes them and ask why? Cryptos are total financial escape for all us little prisoners.
That’s PATHETIC…Freaking Nozey Bastards
