Federal investigators asked banks to search and filter customer transactions by using terms like "MAGA" and "Trump" as part of an investigation into Jan. 6, warning that purchases of "religious texts" could indicate "extremism," the House Judiciary Committee revealed in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital Wednesday.
Fox News Digital has learned the committee also obtained documents that indicate officials suggested that banks query transactions with keywords like Dick's Sporting Goods, Cabela's, Bass Pro Shops and more.
farther into the story it mentions that it was Bank of America that handed over their records without being asked, which is yet another reminder that if you bank with BofA, you are terminally retarded.
If you don't use a local credit union as your bank by now, you are also retarded.

What 4th amendment?
An impediment to the revolution's goals, comrade.
uhm achtually, people I don't like don't get rights, that's wrong.
Krav Maga gyms most affected.
Yet more evidence of pervasive anti-Semitism and white supremacy.
Fun fact, never put any transaction down with comments like BTC/Bitcoin if you do any kind of deal with somebody to trade cryptocurrency. They're also scanning for those keywords and will shut your bank account down arbitrarily over it.
Pretty much never use memos or comments. Banks will shut down your account over anything they deem could be "bad press" and that definition could change randomly.
More normies shit but they know what coin base does. If they wanted they could just steal from there.
It's amazing how many retards are out there that don't realise that paying for a VPN with their credit card means they aren't really anonymous.
If ExpressVPN showing up on your Visa statement is what gets you arrested, you were fucked long before you ever paid for it.
Cut people some slack. It takes a lot of work to get outside the normies retard world, unless you were just born based.
Bank of America has been the enemy for years. You have an obligation to get far the fuck away from those major banks. They hate you and want you to die. Same with Master Card. John Kerry was president of one of BofA's boards for international relations.
Also, make more cash transactions.
Most have prominent pages on their sites virtue signalling their DEI mandates. Just being a credit union doesn't mean they're a good place to put your money.
Agree.
I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but in Canada I see no appreciable advantage a credit union has over a standard bank aside from being less corporate.
Actually the public-facing employees of the banks here have all turned into Indians, so maybe that's one point in the credit union ledger.
Well...I just got my Bass Pro cc. Looks like hunting purchases will have to be made some other way. Fuck.
What's the thinking that local credit unions are more secure in the US?
In Trudeau's trucker bank account freeze, the credit unions rolled over just like everyone else.
I don't think the perception is they're more secure, just they're smaller and have less staffs and resources to look into people's (political) financial activities and canceling customers because of Twitter outrages (mostly because they have very little online presence and interactions), also credit unions are supposed to be owned by the members who use their services, and not by faceless international corpos in a different country
Also their accounts are more from people in the same group. So if the Truckers Credit Union freezes some trucker accounts they're going out of business.
