Remember when I told you that under the Trump administration financial surveillance would go up, and you all called me a FUDster? The IRS now plans on sharing confidential tax information with ICE and DHS to carry out deportations. This practice is *not* unprecedented: The systemic use of tax information and financial records is one of the practices majorly credited with enabling H*tler’s mass deportations of Jews beginning in 1938, enabling the 'industrialization' of the Holocaust. If you think this is fine because you are legally in the US, remember that Trump is currently attempting to deport and revoke a student’s green card for organizing protests at Columbia University. Last week, the administration deported at least two Venezuelan asylum seekers legally in the US to El Salvador’s terrorist detention center, known for torture and inmate deaths. Neither had a criminal record – the basis for their deportation were allegedly misidentified tattoos. If you think this is fine because you are a US citizen, remember that last week, the Treasury announced that it would lower the currency reporting threshold in 30 counties along the Mexican border from $10,000 down to $200 in attempts to fight gang activity – affecting anyone living in the area. Over the past weeks, we have additionally seen a drastic increase in using deportations to prosecute political speech. Four days ago, a French space researcher was denied entry to the US for messages critical of Trump, which the administration allegedly described as ‘terrorism’. This is the *second* major increase in financial surveillance in the US in the last two weeks. If history has taught us anything, it should be that fascism does not stop at the people you don’t like. Please zap/share this post as wide and far as you can – It was shadow banned on the free speech LARP for using banned words.

As usual @npub1mznw...6mak has accurately highlighted an inconvenient truth. The State is and will always encroach on the sovereignty of those within its borders. It matters not who control the Government. Bitcoin protects against this sort of financial tyranny the same way it protected against the financial debasement during COVID.
You're a policial moron. You don't even understand the absolute basics of different ideologies. Trump is a Marxist, not a fascist. Fascism is nationalistic at the core. Trump is an internationalist of the highest degree. Trump is a confirmed Jew-lover, a staunch internationalist and a steadfast Marxist. If the state is used for redistribution, it is Marxist. Ergo, Trump is a Marxist. The United States of America is a Marxist country. It's very simple to understand. This should be basic information, but it flew right over your head. Fascism is inherently anti-internationalist and anti-Marxist. Marxism is 100 percent Jewish. Whence, fascism is inherently anti-Jew. Trump is one the world's foremost Jew-lovers.

This doesn’t sound like financial surveillance. “The agreement is limited to confirming the addresses of "known unlawful immigrants who already have been ordered to leave the country," as stated by the Washington Post.” Also, WaPo? Is there a less trustworthy news outlet? The majority of American citizens want their country back and for illegal aliens to be deported. There are tens of millions of illegal aliens, so of course there will be some mix-ups. Expecting perfection is childish and assuming malice from ICE in wanting to purposely deport legal immigrants is baseless. Illegal aliens have no right to financial privacy, even though that is not what the IRS is providing according to your own source. Nitpicking every little thing that Trump could be doing better is not going to have the effect you think. People are more afraid of having millions of illegal aliens in their country than they are about the IRS helping ICE deport these people.
Hi l0la ⚡️🤟🏴‍☠️ This is the kind of mission creep that history warns us about. Financial surveillance always expands under the guise of ‘security,’ but it never stops at the initial target. Once the infrastructure is in place, it will be used against everyone who steps out of line. The only way to win is to build parallel systems that make this kind of control obsolete.
Until we have officers knocking on our own doors, nobody will believe that mission creep can have an effect on their lives. That's the sad reality of a misinformed and distracted popular movement that uses Bread and Circus to isolate us in our homes ready and able to be captured or exploited.
This is interesting, I hadn't heard about this. Do you have more information about this? I'd like to know the details, what information they're handing over and what not. I know that the IRS is not allowed to report to other agencies without a court order, because otherwise mandatory reporting to the IRS can be construed as self incrimination, so if they are giving information to other agencies as requested or in a blanket order, people can refuse to report income on the grounds that it might incriminate them. This is a very big deal for the IRS, if they do things that might cost them their ability to demand mandatory reporting from the populace, they lose their entire role, so I am skeptical that they're handing over private reported information, but if it's happening it's happening and I'd like to know exactly what is going on. If you know the details I'd love to know them too. I wouldn't call this an increase in financial surveillance, we are already required to report this stuff, the increase in surveillance happened long ago. I firmly believe all mandatory reporting requirements violate the 4th and are an unlawful search, but that's the world we live in. As far as the $200 reporting requirement along the border, that's weird. I thought the $10k requirement was a legislative action, is it lawful for the treasury to do that? Again, I'd love details on this because I don't see how they can get away with that if it is happening. Also on the french guy and other deportation and entry denials of non citizens, I wouldn't call refusal to allow entry, or deportation "prosecution". They're not being punished, just being told to go home. I don't think it's morally wrong for a group of people to decide who's welcome amongst them, in my mind that his nothing but free association, nor do I believe that they owe anybody an explanation as to their criteria. Americans own America and get to decide who they let into their clubhouse, and Americans elected this guy by the rules they created about how to elect presidents. To me that's not controversial at all, is well established and widely accepted everywhere on earth.
