Obama's Executive Order Freezing Americans' Bank Accounts

Gary North - September 26, 2019

So, you think your capital is safe. You think it would take a law to freeze your assets permanently.

Silly you.

All it takes is an executive order signed by the President.

Here is the most recent example. It applies to all Americans: individuals and corporations.

The way this legal precedent is being set is simple: it targets the latest bad guys in the ever-rotating roulette wheel of evil. (“Round and round it goes. Where it stops, nobody knows.”)

Hillary and Turbo Tim Geithner will be brought into the process. They will decide, meaning faceless bureaucrats under them will decide.

It’s all in bureaucratese, the better to hide what the Executive Order is really doing.
