HOUSE REPORT: BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOUR WALLET
Think your money is private? Think again. A bombshell Congressional report reveals how the government and banks are teaming up to spy on your financial transactions—no warrant needed.
Here’s the kicker: in 2023 alone, banks handed over 25.4 million reports to federal agencies, flagging 4.6 million “suspicious” activities like buying firearms, booking D.C. hotels, or spending big bucks.
Apparently, a weekend getaway or buying a couch could put you on their radar.
The FBI ran 3.3 million warrantless searches of this data. And with 25,000 officials accessing these files, the government’s watching your wallet like it’s a Netflix show.
Now, they’re testing AI and digital IDs to monitor your every move, making sure even your morning coffee isn’t too “suspicious.”
Privacy? What privacy? Congress better step up before your bank statements turn into Big Brother’s diary.
