It was about a month ago when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked Canada\u2019s Emergencies Act in an effort to deal with the hundreds of truckers in a \u201cFreedom Convoy\u201d that had driven to Ottawa to protest government health mandates. The mandates, the truckers said, infringed on their freedom of choice.<\/p>\n
Trudeau, who politically, is slightly to the left of Mao Zedong, stated that the truckers voiced \u201cunacceptable views.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unacceptable to who, Justin?<\/p>\n
Among other provisions, the Act permitted Canadian banks to freeze the personal accounts of people linked to the protesters without a court order. Trudeau claimed that invoking the Emergencies Act was, among other things, about keeping people\u2019s jobs.<\/p>\n
Huh?<\/p>\n
Trudeau\u2019s actions bring to mind a couple of quotes from the great George Orwell:<\/p>\n
\u201cA society becomes totalitarian when its structure becomes flagrantly artificial: that is, when its ruling class has lost its function but succeeds in clinging to power by force or fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n
And<\/p>\n
\u201cAll tyrannies rule through fraud and force; but once the fraud is exposed, they must rely exclusively on force.\u201d<\/p>\n

It breaks my heart to say it, but one has to be blind not to observe the growing evidence of the U.S. government following Orwell\u2019s admonitions.<\/p>\n
One need only observe the criminal activities of the country\u2019s powerful federal police, the FBI and its chief executives, James Comey and Andrew McCabe, to recoil at the egregious abuse of government power against U.S. citizens – General Flynn, George Papadopolous, Roger Stone, to name a few – to say nothing of a sitting U.S. President.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t a political treatise; it is a brief article to encourage our subscribers and friends to consider moving some of their banking deposits offshore. While an order by the President or the Department of Justice to freeze the bank accounts of certain people with \u201cunacceptable views\u201d may seem ludicrous at this point, consider the fact that a few months ago the Attorney General of the United States authorized the FBI to monitor parents who spoke out at school board meetings.<\/p>\n
Apparently, the first amendment slipped the mind of the Attorney General, himself a former judge.<\/p>\n
The parents, by and large, were protesting their children being taught an intentionally racist, anti-American view of history. Besides the immediate family issue, these kids will grow up and become teachers themselves, or mayors of cities like Chicago, Los Angeles or San Francisco. Maybe they\u2019ll even become governors of great states like California or New York. Hell, they might even cheat on their law school exams, get admitted to the bar and one day become President.<\/p>\n
There is much that can be said about the subject of individual liberty in America today. It is a vital subject but beyond the scope and purpose of this article.<\/p>\n
I am writing as the publisher of a financial newsletter, Strategic Financial Intelligence \u2013 SFI (www.strategicfinancialintelligence.com), and the point of this communication is that, as the arbitrary use of government fraud and force eats away at individual liberty today, one\u2019s bank account can be a target of government action if, for instance, you hold \u201cunacceptable views\u201d.<\/p>\n
Perhaps you hold the view that a baby, born as a boy with male genitalia, should not, when he grows up be permitted to hang out in girl\u2019s restrooms, or compete athletically against girls, if he tells his teacher that he \u201cidentifies\u201d as a girl now.<\/p>\n
Maybe you think that employees in an organization should be promoted based on their ability to do their job and produce the products of their position, not the pigment of their skin.<\/p>\n
These are \u201cunacceptable views\u201d today in government and some sectors of society.<\/p>\n
Being unvaccinated is an unacceptable view and those that hold that view should be punished or imprisoned according to several in society today.<\/p>\n
\u201cNearly half (48%) of Democratic voters think federal and state governments should be able to fine or imprison individuals who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.\u201d

So don\u2019t think your bank account will necessarily always be free of some arbitrary government action. I am not saying that this will happen tomorrow or next month or next year or even if it will ever happen. But if you have some extra cash in your bank account, why not move some of it offshore out of the U.S. banking system?<\/p>\n
