Bank account info belongs to CIA, says US government

In an attempt to pursue terrorists across the globe, the Obama administration has proposed legislation that will give spy agencies access to citizens’ finances. Currently, the FBI is the only agency that has access to these databases, but the plan will give the CIA and NSA the same access. So does this proposition take the war on terror too far? Private investigator Kenneth Cummins explains the legality of the legislation.

I recently made a sizable cash withdrawal from my primary bank account for some home renovations. The bank teller had to call over the branch manager who then brought me into his office to explain to me that a cash withdrawal of that size would raise red flags.

I told him the withdrawal was for legitimate purposes which will be documented via receipts, building permits, etc. I told him, “If they Feds want to bother with a homeowner doing some construction, then its their time wasted not mine. I don’t fear my government.”

He looked exasperated but gave me the cash nonetheless.

hows hope and change working for you?

Too bad. No bank accounts. There are advantages to being off-grid and gone Galt.

I just got asked yesterday about receiving and depositing a CHECK for $10,000 (not even receiving any cash from it).

“I just got asked yesterday about receiving and depositing a CHECK for $10,000 (not even receiving any cash from it).”

Boy a few years ago, when I was working, I had to go right up to the president of the bank as every time I went to deposit my full check, WITHOUT any cash back, the teller would have to go over to the manager to get his ok because it was over the teller’s limit.

I confronted one teller, asking for her drivers license as I was trusting her with my check yet she did not trust me.

Anyway, I told the president of the bank to fix it or the account would be closed. Never had a problem since.

So I gather the monkey boy feels he can circumvent our right to privacy without any law being enacted by congress.

More proof that the GOP is in on this scam. They rattle their cages a little to make us think they are on our side but the only side they are on is government. They are letting this NAPA circumvent congress everyday without nary a peep.

If the criminal Federal Government can use the right of Privacy to enact the freedom to abort (that was how it was accomplished), then certainly we should be able to DEMAND our right to our financial privacy. Right?

And we certainly should demand our right to privacy to prevent our doctor’s visits being used to take away our arms. Right?

Likewise my FRiend.

He wasn’t trying to protect you. He just didn’t want you to remove that money from his ability to make his own money off of it.

[supremedoctrine]

If you’d ever come in with an amount to deposit equal to what you took out, it would certainly also “raise red flags”, but they would’ve accepted it in the blink of an eye.
Of course I don’t know how much you took out.
I’m only going by the glow I’ve noticed on the faces of tellers or branch managers whenever
we’ve made big deposits.

Bury it in a mason jar. That's going to be my retirement plan.

They can have them. I've been thinking about building a built-in bed cabinet, similar to what was in vogue in the late 1700s. But better than the one Jefferson built.

Ain't no cash in my mattress.

It was more than $5,000 but less than $10,000. I’d always understood that $10,000 was the “magic number” for a deposit to net you a visit by a federal agent.

I’ve not heard from the Feds yet, and the construction work is finishing up this week.

I gathered that by the condescension and aura of fear he was trying to instill. He talked to me like a mortician would talk about a departed loved one. I knew the schtick, but I was surprised that my under-$10,000 withdrawal was going to raise red flags.

Duh, didn’t Hussein’s “passport fixer” Brennan just last week became our Top Spy at Hussein’s CIA?

BTW, would the German Hitler have done the same thing?

The government tells me how much I HAVE to take out of my IRA and its a lot more than 10,000 dollars a year. Ticks me off as I don’t need as much as they say I HAVE to remove..I live a simple life, a 10year old car and no house payments...I have recently rented out my house and 4 acres, its too much for someone my age to take care of and moved into a rented condo.. the rent from one pays for the rent of my condo..

I always understood that 10k + is the amount that you don’t want to deposit because it is noted to unseen agencies. For that reason I never deposit more than 10k at any one time.

However, we seem to be rapidly reaching the point where our government cannot be trusted for anything. If the IRS can hound us for “health” care money then freedom is just an illusion.
