One of the unsung heroes of the Canadian Truckers Protest was the Ottawa-based writer, Rupa Subramanya, as illustrated here in 2022 and here in 2024.
Fast forward and Subramanya has written an important new piece: The Debanking of America In this video, she discussed her article.
Former first lady Melania Trump alleges in her new memoir that both she and her son, Barron, were debanked. “I was shocked and dismayed to learn that my long-time bank decided to terminate my account and deny my son the opportunity to open a new one,” she wrote. (Trump’s email provider also declined to continue providing her service.)
Being debanked is a family affair for the Trumps. This includes the former president, Donald Trump, who was shut out of a Florida bank account after the January 6, 2021 storming of the Capitol. So was a news app run by Donald Jr. So was MyPillow CEO (and Trump supporter) Mike Lindell.
But it’s not just Trump supporters. Also debanked have been a number of Christian charities, including Indigenous Advance Ministries, a Memphis-based charity that does philanthropic work for orphans in Uganda, and Family Council, a pro-life charity based in Arkansas. According to Democratic lawmakers, many Arab and South-Asian Americans—who are considered “high risk” because of being Muslim—have been debanked, too.
If my LGBTQueer-controlled Bank saw my posts on SDA … I would get debanked in a heartbeat as “homophobe” depositors are “high risk” …
How many bank execs are on the Epstein tapes?
all of them?
Financial institutions are essential to modern living. They are intermediaries in almost every commercial transaction we make, including simply getting paid.
This means that someone who cannot open a bank account cannot partake in modern life, and will be reduced to the most primitive of existences. And it can be entirely arbitrary, with no legal recourse unless you can prove it was based on some protected attribute like race or sex.
The potential for abuse is staggering.
Your need is not someone else’s moral obligation. Don’t be a liability to your institution, or risk becoming one.
Depends how the ‘need’ was created.
At this point it’s duress driving the thing.
It’s the same formula every time. Create a convenience, make people so dependent on it they can’t function without it, then use it as a lever against them while making it less convenient, less accessible, and more expensive.
What would happen if everyone’s cell phone stopped working for everything except phone calls?
By design.
This situation is not an accident.
Pay cash whenever possible. Cheques are second choice.
If you predominately pay electronically, it will be easier for the banks and feds to eliminate cash and cheques.
Think debanking is bad now, think about it without cash as an option.
uhuh. aaaaand when cash bills are no longer recognized or accepted by said banks then what? has it happened before? what happened to all the old european cash bills when the euro showed up?
it looks like we now know how ‘they’ are going to do ‘it.

Trump and Musk join together to start a new bank – Mump, America’s Bank, “Home of the defiant.”
Trusk sounds better to me.
How come they can’t shut down the bank accounts of terrorists and drug dealers but they have no problem shutting down the accounts of truckers?
ummm, they can clearly shut down ANY account. the top level pablo escobar types are just[inTURDeau] way, way too good for business.
Because bankers have been stealing your money for centuries. Laundering like The Bank of Nova Scotia just paid a 3B fine for is de rigueur. It’s what they do.
I hear TD bank turns a blind eye….. 🙂
Probably mostly “right wingers” get debanked so when they get pissed off they can tag them as terrorists as well and take everything they have.
get used to it folks, ITS BIBLICAL aka ‘mark on the hand, forehead, whatever, you cannot conduct commerce without it.
afaic this is just prep work for the ‘takeover’.
and be very certain the cops are going to be right there on the front lines with truncions badges, guns, warrants, bla bla bla.
cops are NOT your ‘friend’ and for some of us NEVER WERE
One word…..revolution.
