Versuch der GLS-Bank die Kontokündigungen der Roten Hilfe zu rechtfertigen
Die Bank behauptet in einem längeren Statement sinngemäß, der Aufwand für die Überwachung der Konten sei zu aufwändig geworden, das Risiko für "erhebliche Bußgelder und weitere Sanktionen" der Bank zu groß.
Dann wirds krass:
Banken "sind dazu verpflichtet, Kontobewegungen zu prüfen, um Geldwäsche und Terrorismusfinanzierung zu verhindern. Das gehört zum Tagesgeschäft". Inhaltlich trifft das zu, aber sie rücken damit die Rote Hilfe, abc Dresden und die DKP in den Bereich Terrorismus und Geldwäsche. Und das ist eine durch und durch politische Entscheidubg der Bank!
Ein Kotau des GLS-Vorstands vor Trump, AfD und Verfassungsschutz!

Republicans in the US House of Representatives have only a 5 seat majority. It is a key pressure point against Trump's authoritarian agenda.
5 calls is the easiest and most effective way for US constituents to make a political impact.
Make it clear to them that We, The People will hold Republicans responsible for trying to take away our hard-won freedoms.
Some 4 million people in the U.S. could lose federal housing assistance under new plans from the Trump administration, say experts who reviewed drafts of two unpublished rules obtained by ProPublica.

I Must Come Clean: I Have #Trump Derangement Syndrome—And Here’s Why https://www.blueamp.co/p/i-must-come-clean-i-have-trump-derangement
"You may get TDS if you have a strong dislike for adjudicated rapists, #Jan6 insurrectionists, #Putin -suckling seditionists, and golden-showering onanists. TDS is inflamed just by encountering un-sweater’d, White Bill Cosby the Convicted Felon, or seeing him make the Oval Office look like it was decorated by Pizarro.
It must be TDS to despise the worst “human” shuffling his cankles in #America. A vile, venal, fragile, flabby, narcissistic, lazy-ass, selfish, sociopathic, soul-holed, gauche, gaudy, perpetually dumbf*ked man, woman, person, camera old coot, who looks like someone piled a burnt-ochre-colored watermelon on top of a jello-gelatin factory spill"

"Over the weekend I talked to a couple of people, people who generally try to keep abreast of the news, about the Chicago apartment raid last Tuesday — and discovered that they hadn’t heard about it. And that’s extremely worrying. It suggests that many people don’t realize how fast and aggressively the Trump administration is moving to end rule of law and convert America into a full-fledged autocracy."
