The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This one is interesting Steve. What have you seen?

Remember when Yusuf, aka "Cat Stevens", was flying to the US, and the US declared he was on a "no fly" list because, supposedly, a charity he supported, "supported terrorism"? The plane had to land, as soon as it could, Yusuf was taken off, and put on the next plane back to the UK.

That was under the Bush junta. Trump the God has declared he is going after everyone who provides financial support for "terrorism".

Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence

(i) The Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary), in coordination with the Attorney General, shall make available all resources, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to identify and disrupt financial networks that fund domestic terrorism and political violence.

(j) The Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service (Commissioner) shall take action to ensure that no tax-exempt entities are directly or indirectly financing political violence or domestic terrorism.

(k) All Federal law enforcement agencies with investigative authority shall question and interrogate, within all lawful authorities, individuals engaged in political violence or lawlessness regarding the entity or individual organizing such actions and any related financial sponsorship of those actions


whitehouse.gov - Countering domestic terrorism and organized political violence

Considering the regime is calling anyone who opposes anything they say or do, a "domestic terrorist", a lot of charities could be swept up because a donor or an employee was demonstrating. I used to donate to MSF. Last year, MSF officials started sharply criticizing Israeli activities in Gaza. That could easily be spun as "support for terrorism", and every person who donates to MSF being worked over by the USian regime.
