The Biden administration has confirmed that politically charged terms such as 'MAGA,' 'Trump,' and 'Kamala' have been used to surveil private bank transactions. This surveillance was part of the aftermath of the January 6 riots and involved the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network instructing financial institutions to monitor transactions containing these keywords. The revelation has sparked outrage, with reports indicating that even people purchasing Bibles have been placed on watchlists. In response to privacy concerns, some are advocating for a switch to financial institutions like Old Glory Bank, which promises privacy, security, and liberty.
