Part of the Biden regime’s plan to “save democracy” includes a full-on collaboration with financial institutions to spy on and target their political opposition. Congressional Republicans are currently investigating at least 13 financial institutions that have colluded with the federal government to surveil Americans who show indications of “extremism.” These surveillance operations violate the 4th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, targeting Americans with no warrant and no due process, under nefarious pretenses.
This federal government’ unconstitutional collaboration with financial institutions began in the lead-up to and the aftermath of the January 6, 2021 false flag operation at the U.S. Capitol, which ensnared innocent Americans who were questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 electoral process and its results.
Feds working with banks to surveil, profile, convict Biden’s political opposition
Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) chair of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government is leading the investigation into these high crimes and misdemeanors. The banks suspect in this investigation include the following: Bank of America, Chase, U.S. Bank, Wells Fargo, Citi Bank, Truist, Charles Schwab, HSBC, MUFG, PayPal, Santander, Standard Chartered and Western Union.
According to the investigation, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) were weaponized and colluded with financial institutions to go after “pro-gun” and religious Trump supporters in the wake of January 6, 2021.

The government’s unconstitutional operation seeks to silence and intimidate Americans for their religious and political views. The banks spied on private transactions. Searches that include the terms “MAGA” and “TRUMP” were flagged. If an individual purchased a Bible, they were also flagged for “extremism.” FinCEN even suggested that banks review transactions at sporting and recreational supplies stores such as Cabela’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Bass Pro Shops in order to detect customers who might be “extremists.”
The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) of the U.S. Treasury distributed the surveillance instructions. Officials at the U.S. Treasury circulated a memo instructing financial institutions how to spot indicators of “extremism” around January 6, 2021. These indicators included individuals who made travel plans to Washington D.C. or individuals who purchased religious texts. When testifying before lawmakers in February, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen played dumb about the surveillance instructions and the spying operation.
“This kind of warrant-less financial surveillance raises serious concerns about the federal government’s respect for Americans’ privacy and fundamental civil liberties,” Jim Jordan wrote in a letter to Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen.
Suspicious Activity Report used as political weapon against hundreds of innocent Americans
During the hearings, Peter Sullivan, the FBI’s former financial sector liaison, admitted that the FBI and FinCEN provided the banks with “thresholds” for which a suspicious activity report should raise. The banks spied on consumers’ transaction history, looking for keywords and purchases.
By January 17, 2021, the FBI and FinCEN had already received private data on 211 individuals who were targeted by Bank of America in a Suspicious Activity Report. When these reports were further investigated, there was no allegation of federal criminal conduct. When Bank of America was requested to send over any “weapons-related transactions,” only four of the 211 cases qualified, prompting “criminal background queries.”
Then, the FBI deployed federal agents to investigate these four individuals, which led to “a number of leads” on additional persons of interest. These leads were eventually pulled from the investigation, according to then-Section Chief of the FBI’s Domestic Terrorism Operations Selection Steve Jensen. It was determined that the leads “lacked allegations of federal criminal conduct.” In other words, these Americans were innocent and were being unconstitutionally profiled and harassed by a rogue federal government and surveillance apparatus.
The Biden regime spied on, profiled and targeted Americans in an attempt to suppress their political and religious views. By conscripting the FBI, the Biden regime displayed nefarious intent to intimidate and charge innocent individuals with crimes that they did not commit. In an attempt to suppress and eradicate their political opposition, it’s more clear than ever that the Biden regime is a communist regime, and this surveillance operation is reminiscent of Stalin’s Great Purge in the Soviet Union in the 1930s.
