Biden and Forgotten Federal Financial Tyranny<\/a><\/h2>\n

by James Bovard<\/p>\n

Americans were jolted last week to learn that the Joe Biden administration viewed purchasing a Bible as a potential terrorist warning sign. Representative Jim Jordan (R-OH), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, revealed that the Treasury Department\u2019s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network stretched its \u201csuspicious behavior\u201d definition to include purchasing a Bass Pro Shop hat, as well as items sold by Cabella\u2019s and Dick\u2019s Sporting Goods. If you\u2019ve bought a gun or ammo since 2021, Team Biden bureaucrats may have automatically classified you as a \u201cpotential active shooter.\u201d Or maybe your plane ticket purchases triggered the latest \u201clone actor\/homegrown violent extremism\u201d indicators.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, there are plenty of Washington precedents for this type of idiocy. <\/a>The vast array of federal levers enable politicians to squeeze any target they choose. The sheer power of covert federal financial dictates was revealed by one of the most corrupt schemes of the Barack Obama administration.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
