Citizens Bank should be sued for everything. This is like sanctions on Jacques Baud. This has to be completely criminal!

kam's avatar

Nah. Don't sue them. That's like fighting in the mud with a pig.

Get them lots of Publicity and start withdrawing deposits.

Mic Norton's avatar

Yeah I'd just get my money and run...

Kris's avatar

He can't, it's FROZEN. The bank seized his money.

Mic Norton's avatar

Oh,, well Scott CAN'T LOSE this situation,, his income is FROM JOURNALISM and every trip he made to Russia SCOTT PAID FOR OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET... and Larry Johnson and Garland Nixon are going to have problems too,, as well as judge Napolitano and Colonel McGregor even though they didn't go to Russia...

eckbach's avatar

Judge Nap went to Russia.

Mic Norton's avatar

AAAAH,, then they're going to do the same thing to him… but the judge is cagier than Maj Ritter though,, no insult to Scott but the judge has probably got a LOT of his assets in Gold already… and you can bet Larry Johnson and Colonel McGregor have already cashed out,, I can just see Colonel McGregor right now at his kitchen table counting out stacks of $100 bills like a drug dealer LOL,, then calling up the judge to score some gold bars…

kam's avatar

Not referring to Scott. All other depositors - Ask for your money, in a cashier's check, if they don't have the cash (they won't).

Banks have electronic Ledger Cards, near zero cash.

That Banks have anything but the minimum amount of cash is just Mythology.

Susie's avatar

My credit union didn't have very many one-dollar bills. I wanted to get 50 of them. So instead, they gave me $2 bills.

A credit union without money - ridiculous!

Rogb's avatar

Seized his money. That's THEFT! A CRIME! BY A BANK! A bankster should be ARRESTED!

Oh, I forgot! Many people in suits and ties are ABOVE the law!

Well, I hope you have some good friends and a good lawyer to sue the banksters and the government "fuckers", as they identify themselves!

And thanks for your service for PEACE,Scott!

Otto's avatar

Nigel Farage was de-banked by Coutt's Bank. He kicked up publicity about it and got the bank's CEO resigned but with a £5 million pay off. How many depositors closed their accounts because of it I don't know unfortunately. That is the bank the Royals use.

Ryan Milton's avatar

Well that also is good

Thierry Laurent's avatar

On Jacques Baud it is not obscure and not criminal in a strict sense. It is unfair, disgusting, and should be made illegal. But the fight has to occur. In the US, such targeting is illegal. In Europe, it is not, but was not usual. Now, it is becoming frequent. The fight must be brought against it.

Rabbitnexus's avatar

You can't fight the devil in his courts. There is no longer anything but an out of control criminal Empire at large and not even its so-called citizens have any say in anything except as an illusion.

Cheyenne's avatar

That has always, always been true. Otherwise we would have revolted when Obama forced the ACA upon us.

Mike Hampton's avatar

SLAPP is as much a bitch as debanking. They're the two fangs against truth and 'disobedience'.

Ryan Milton's avatar

It’s targeted harassment.

SW's avatar

I’d hope they wouldn’t be sued by the Department of Treasury for violating sanctions targeting Russian propaganda outlets, from keeping Scott on for so long as he tip toed in a legal minefield. It seems like as soon as they realized they took action. What I don’t understand is why Scott continued to appear in Russian media outlets and accept a trip to Moscow for RT’s anniversary when they were still under sanctions. It’s not just sanctions on money, but a vague sense of support. I feel bad that Scott has to deal with this, and doesn’t sound very prepared for it.

Feral Finster's avatar

Why does this surprise you? Similar tactics were used against the Canadian Trucker Protests.

kam's avatar

And Canadians started pulling their money out of the Banks.

Trudeau had his pee-pee wacked - one of the many reasons he is not Prime Minister.

Feral Finster's avatar

Try living in Canada without a bank account.

kam's avatar

I live in Canada, have several accounts scattered all over, so does my wife. We don't borrow. Slowly got the message of Too Big To Fail. Liquidated assets, closed several facilities and am "sitting by the river, watching the bodies of my enemies float by."

Feral Finster's avatar

And were you debanked?

kam's avatar

Since I paid in to the Truckers Funding, I should have but was not. The Convoy started near my turf.

Have I ever run out of cash before? Let's not go there.

Feral Finster's avatar

OK, so you weren't debanked. I'm not trying to be snarky, but I am not sure that your example contradicts my point.

Entropy Wins's avatar

Easy. Get a credit card linked to a Crypto account. Get your money out of the banks. Once you deposit it.... the money is no longer yours... it's theirs and they can freeze it any time they want. Scott, I'm surprised that you thought that your assets wouldn't be targeted. Once Canada froze bank accounts & credit cards of truck drivers, that was a signal for everyone not to trust the banks. You don't need them for more than a couple of hundred dollars for transfers.

Susie's avatar

Trudeau doesn't have a pee-pee. He's a she...............https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv1rs6UHl0I

Lacey Morton's avatar

I was thinking that myself about the Canadian truckers.

Rabbitnexus's avatar

It was just the beginning and there's much more to come. We've got a hellish situation here in Oz since the Convid scam which was like the starting pistol for the end game I think. Our cops use microwave weapons against protesters and the weaponised laws continue to encroach on lives. I've been banned from firearms, despite never having committed any offense related to them, they just don't like me and they are very worried about my skillset in even more energetic fields and have put me on lists and restrictions as a result. Those who do not exercise their freedom don't notice much yet but there is very little freedom legally allowed anymore. We never had free speech as part of our constitution though people talk as if it is. I have learned the hard way we absolutely do not have and we have no recourse when abuses happen.

striketheroot's avatar

Yo mean no PEACEFUL recourse...

Peter's avatar

you mean like the Venuzuelan President's used force to protect him against those yankees?

the only non peaceful way is an mass, as their ammo etc is only for short sharp shocks and special ops. even those FEMA billion bullets will run out, or be taken over, in time.

Rabbitnexus's avatar

Of course that was my words. I know what lurks just beyond sight anytime and won't be the one to call that spade a spade. Not until I am using one to bury the remains of the scumbags in the way of doing it. But obviously it will need to be done.

Cheyenne's avatar

So similar to what happened here. Is yours a Murdoch legacy?

Rabbitnexus's avatar

You do know from whence Murdoch arose surely? So long as it is Zionist dominated, it is the same. Murdoch was a POS but he was floating in a bowl full of turds none the less.

C. Brown's avatar

No surprise, simply disgust with our institutions

Tatjana's avatar

I wonder how to say politely "what an idiotic comment"?

(De-banking is outrageous each time it happens, and no one is safe from this - that's the point of this article!!!)

Feral Finster's avatar

Nobody has said debanking wasn't outrageous. The question is what to do about it, since it works? The Canadian trucker protests quickly folded.

Bill Owen's avatar

I live in Ottawa, at the time I was a few blocks from Parliament. It was the longest protest I have seen in 35 years here.

Most of the people were not truckers, and their grievances were all over the place. The focus was Covid restrictions, but a lot of it was Western alienation and their ancient hates. There was also a large dollop of Qanon nonsense.

Having said that In terms of a continuous physical blockade, the Grassy Narrows First Nation road blockade is widely recognized as the longest-running protest in Canadian history at 23 years and counting.

Often cited as the largest rally in Ottawa's history the 1992 Farmers’ Protest attracted over 40,000 people, but it lasted only one day.

Feral Finster's avatar

All of which is beside the point. Trudeau was unable to disperse the protesters, until he debanked them. They quickly had to fold.

Susie's avatar

Trudeau was a laughing stock, calling all the peaceful freedom folks the "fringe minority".

Rabbitnexus's avatar

You get rid of the Jews and their money games. That's historically been the only solution. It worked for the Byzantines for a while, until they foolish relented. It has worked in Islamic nations when it has been enforced too. We never even found a need to massacre lots of them to clean up the mess as a result. But Xtians suffer from a severe blindness to the killer of their Messiah and the killers keep on killing his message of peace and love.

Theresa Barzee's avatar

The muscle-men mercenaries are testing us all out. They de-banked Julian Assange, Richard Medhurst, Jacques Baud, & now you. What a corrupted web of lies & greed these fbi bank mobsters scam us with as they weave. Shame on all of US. We must find & use lawyers to act pro bono to gather the tools to go after the legal thieve$. Tracking, & arresting the complicit bankers, fbi people, now.

And any laws that enable banks to do this shit should be called out along with those who made them & those who use these stupid cruel laws. No warnings?! Insane!

We will all be de-banked en masse. And we may have to insist on the officials testifying in huge Peoples' Tribunals all over the world.

Citizens' First. Tribunals Now for Citizen's Bank. Name all name$ up the chain of command.

Bless you, Scott.

May you & your family get rhe support you need. Now!

kam's avatar

Division is their objective and every Dirty Tool in the drawer will be used.

Cheyenne's avatar

Thank you for calling out Citizen's Bank! Please note the similarity in name, to 'Citizens United'.

Peter Howard's avatar

What is the best way to help?

kam's avatar

As many customers of Citizens that can, pull your cash out.

Queen Street Systems's avatar

I came here to ask the same, all the writing we could do to the people he mentioned won’t pay for the electric and groceries

Peter Andrew Nolan's avatar

That's easy Peter. You support me in the 2008-2014 period when I was risking my life taking on criminals in governments so that people did not wind up becoming slaves..or dead. But men did not help me in that period and here we are. Oh well.

Jazzme's avatar

Scott

sorry to hear that once again Trump is putting the screws to you and your family. Our president is a horrible deranged individual with emmense power. Until he is 6 feet under or impeached or placed under institutional care we: you I and the world have to hold our breaths and hope we survive his insane actions

JustPlainBill's avatar

This long precedes the Trump administration. This is a continuation of something that has been going on for years now. It began in the Obama administration with Operation Choke Point, and apparently continues. Give the TDS a rest.

Mic Norton's avatar

SCREW THAT,, let's not forget that your cult leader completely ruined the economy,, for everything except fuel anyway because that's all his zombies care about,, made enemies of the entire world with his financial lunacy and his insane threats like "taking Greenland whether they like it or not",, GREENLAND FOR CHRIST'S SAKE,, his moronic ice goons are murdering people,, and people like you who apparently live in a cartoon world think that all of this is a-okay and call people who are calling your cult leader insane,, you say THEY have Trump derangement syndrome LOL...

Justin's avatar

Given that fuel is the basis for so much of commerce and cost of living, I think you've answered your own questions. Let's not try to blame Trump, shall we?

Mic Norton's avatar

Uh huh,, even The Dumpster repeats that but did it ever occur to you that the financiers who dictate the prices of grocery store food and other consumer stuff, might just raise the prices on all the consumer stuff and food and leave fuel cheap? In other words you got SUCKERED by the Dumpster's version of Reagan's "trickle down" LOL...

Alan Bleiken's avatar

It seems only half your brain is turned on. Find the switch and turn the other side on too. Blaming one person, be he Trump or anyone else, is childish and ill informed.

The world is actially larger than the limited information you seem glued to.

Mic Norton's avatar

Well it seems like NONE of your brain is turned on,, I didn't realize that sub stack was getting as disgusting as Facebook or YouTube LOL.. I'M NOT BLAMING ONE PARTY, why don't you check my columns before you go making yourself looking like a complete idiot...

Grateful Body's avatar

But Brawndo's got what plants crave.

Cheyenne's avatar

I agree with Bill, and I am not a Republican. If the Dems had ever reversed the bad things Republicans did, we would be getting somewhere. Instead, the Dems just sit back and watch, say, 'vote for us, we're not them' and by golly, they're right. But they are perfectly happy implementing Republican policies even when they have ALL THREE branches locked up.

Tatjana's avatar

Give me a break. My memory is much better than memory of a gold fish.

Mic Norton's avatar

Well I guess not lol,, either you forgot that your cult leader promised to do all this insane stuff or, you just don't care and only voted for Trump to start a culture War in the United States...

Tonee norman's avatar

One look at the thumbnail picture you use to identify yourself pretty much tells who is in a “deranged cult”. Disgusting no matter how much you hate someone…

Mic Norton's avatar

AWWW POOR BABY,, do you see Kathy Griffin overthrowing countries and ordering fascist lunatics to go terrorizing people? You magazombies really are too stupid to think aren't you?

Bill Owen's avatar

You retarded hero is destroying America. You give your love for a monster a rest. Thanks.

paullonden's avatar

"Our President"......It's the U.S. one party state sir. It's not much different with that other one of the two allowed political parties. I wish you good luck during the next "election"......

Nancy's avatar

This wasn't Trump by the way..Have you listened to this man and the years he has been going thru this?? Trump wasn't in politics it's been 30 years!!!

Greg Woogall's avatar

We no longer live in a free country.

eleni's avatar

Free? And it was when? Perhaps in the open prairies and wide open west before getting entrenched into the federal system. With the creation of the federal policing systems and all the clandestine ones we’re screwed.

Hat Bailey's avatar

RIght on eleni! Just because they don't use whips and keep us in chains (and it may come to that the way it's going) it is still just a sophisticated form of slavery. Are you paid to fill out the required forms individually or for you business? Of course not, they have invented a thousand ways to fleece us and it is getting worse.

Hunger4justice's avatar

You never did. They just gave you the illusion that you did.

kam's avatar

Alternatively, you finally woke up to realize "We no longer live in a free country."

chycho's avatar

"First they came for the Canadian Truckers..."....

Susie's avatar

It happened to Canadian citizens, and it can happen in the good ol' USA. We're not special anymore.

Enjoy your freedom folks! It's fading fast. Get ready in whatever way is necessary for you and your family and homestead.

Paul Edwards's avatar

This sick bit of criminal vindictiveness is a perfect example of what an evil, corrupt, and vicious government can do to punish those who question and criticize its tyrannical, dishonest and dangerous policies. America is a rotten, Capitalist military and police state, and has been for decades, and the vile, subhuman idiot who heads it now has driven it to a new low.

kam's avatar

Not really a Capitalist Country.

Too Big To Fail - solely about the tribe, not competition - that's Verboten.

Tatjana's avatar

US government, as well as EU, Canadian, and other Western countries, have been hijacked by globalists - what happened to Scott is happening all over the Western empire.

Rabbitnexus's avatar

As was his task. Trump is just the man for the job at hand. Which is to act for the receivers of a country at the end of it's term. The USA is being sucked dry and will be spit out like a watermelon seed by the end but those who ruled and ruined it will continue regardless.

Peter's avatar

it's like the Arabs et al and the curse of oil. the USA has the curse of the Pretorian Guard and Petrodollar scheme, for the International Jew and their Quest for the Holy New World Order.

Yoda's avatar

Very sorry to hear about this incident Scott. This type of journalism you do and the passion you have for it is going to be a problem for the establishment. You are keeping us well informed with current events and I love it and so do millions of others, another problem for the establishment. One can only hope that this gets cleared up ASAP. My thoughts are with you...but I'm sure that doesn't help either. 🇨🇦

KFLY's avatar

That is why western governments are pushing for cashless societies. They will have complete control of the drooling masses. Gawd I feel for you Scott! As far as I’m concerned you are a hero!

Michael Kuser's avatar

Here are a couple helpful websites to communicate the need for action on Scott Ritter's behalf: https://tonko.house.gov/contact/

ConductandEthicsOffice@citizensbank.com

J Guti's avatar

Citizens Bank's parent company is the Royal Bank of Scotland... pretty sure this involves the Rothschild's.

kam's avatar

Then start withdrawing deposits on the Bank of Scotland too.

Nancy's avatar

It's the laws, I suppose the banks could stop this.

Hard Right Jay's avatar

Im only a few hours from you if you need some help.

John W.'s avatar

Scott,

Is there a USPS address to which each of us can send a few bucks?

Scott Ritter's avatar

You subscribe. That’s support enough—that money goes to a separate account I can access once I set up a new banking arrangement.

For others, you can use the donate function on my Substack page.

Like the Substack subscription, it is held separately from my Citizens Bank account.

Betsy C's avatar

Can you switch to our local credit union? Also I’m local to you and I don’t have a lot of funds but I can get you some groceries if you need them

TSx's avatar

bought a yearly subscription...hope it helps .

kam's avatar

Good Idea. I'm building up inventory for the spring, so not rolling in cash, but happy to throw in $100.

Peter's avatar

If you do send cash, put it in a foil envelope. though I cannot say that won't trigger action to debank you for trying to hoodwink their mail scanners (they had tools to read unopened letters 20 years ago, maybe tin foil doesn't cut it anymore. try lead)

NOLAArtist's avatar

maybe we should stop using banks. They are out to fuck us all with digital currency, so let’s do the Nancy Reagan and “Just Say No”!

Sure it will be difficult- but if we quit the banks- and we controlled the collapse in - the fuckers get fucked.

we must take control of our currency back.

Kathleen McCroskey's avatar

Learn to keep at least 3 months of cash reserve' in CASH.. When the REAL economic default hits, ALL you accounts and ALL your investments are "swept to the middle" to recover lost liquidity, and you would be restricted at best to max $100 withdraw per day. In the coming bail-in, your deposits are converted to bank shares (in a failing bank). Enjoy, and thank tRump!

Peter's avatar

and stop using computers, the internet, or electricity. stop breathing, it's all chemtrails anyway.

Nancy's avatar

Where ya gonna cash your check??? Check cashing store,how are all the elders going to mange that???

Vánnyadt bácsi's avatar

Terrible news! I am out of words!

Being one ocean away, all I can offer are my prayers. But I feel for you, and this de-banking I regard - unexplicably malign as it is - as a clear aknowledgement of the great impact and danger you and all the things you articulate through any media represents for them, the tyrannic powers that be.

It had really come, the time, when a true patriot, an honest analist, a propagator of peace and peaceful consistence of humanity, a Man of honor and integrity becomes a thorn ín the side of the hypocrite rulers.

But i don't loose hope, and I know you won't either.

These hardships may let us, your grateful public,to requit all the help you gave throughout these years when your expertise, your honest words,your focused, clear thinking helped us to better understand this chaotic world we live in.

It's not your first rodeo, you say, and I know you will arise victorious, when all this settles.

Your case is just, victory will be yours!
