Breaking: Empire Falls to Hannibal
Earlier today, the infamous Carthaginian general seized control of Rome's administrative district, throwing sacred West into disarray - just kidding, something far worse just happened.
There's been a rumor circulating in the truth community that major banks have begun blocking simple consumer purchases of Gold, a traditional safe-haven in times of surprise runaway inflation.
“Easy enough to verify or de-bunk,” I thought.
Placed an order for a 1-ounce coin from a national outlet I’ve used before.
The bank (one of the nation’s top 4) blocked the transaction and asked me to verify my details, including zip code, which I did successfully.
They still failed the transaction and wouldn’t provide any further details.
I hesitated in sharing this, but I think as a journalist it’s important to see the signs for what they are. 4 years of Joe Biden and laughing Kamala are finally coming to roost.
Easiest to predict outcome from here is financial disarray in the USA, leading to easy re-election of Don, and a turn toward populism / limited government. But who knows. This era is also one of unexpected surprises and plot twists.
Onward,

I didn't think the capital controls would escalate so quickly. There is not broad panic or rebellion yet. Let's see if others have the same experience. I don't have $3K for a buy right now. I imagine purchases by check will still be allowed, but I figure that will be blocked too at some point. Maybe it is just credit they are going after right now. Bad sign. But not unexpected.
