New ‘Transparency’ Act Forces Small
Businesses To Register Personal Data With
Federal Law Enforcement

Original Article

Posted By: JoElla Bee, 10/10/2024 7:45:36 PM

The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) is an aggressive domestic program to federally register millions of unsuspecting small business owners under the guise of an “anti-money laundering initiative.” By the end of this year, Americans will be required to hand over their small businesses’ private data — such as owners’ names and home addresses — to the federal government’s law enforcement database, operated by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), housed under the Department of the Treasury. Such small businesses includelimited liability companies, corporations, “and any other entities created by the filing of a document with a secretary of state or any similar office in the United States.”

Also requires personal data such as driver’s licenses, passports, marriage certificates, etc.

Totally Unconstitutional...Now it will take years to sort out. WHY doesn't the SCOTUS Make new Judicial Rules that they have to Review ALL LAWS for Constitutionality before they can go into effect? Is that too much to ask??????????

“anti-money laundering initiative” That is code for a crackdown on cash. CTA is a renamed and expanded Operation Choke Point.

They pass a law and 99% of small business owners have no clue that it exists. Of course, they will find out when they get their fines for non compliance. All this for something to entrap innocent small business owners who have done nothing wrong. Bureaucrats heaping unnecessary busy work on businesses.

They get most of the same information when I file my taxes each year. LLC owner taxes incluse both personal and business information. That is on top of all if the other quarterly financial (tax) information sent to the Feds and state. Some businesses must also post their annual financial audit online on the Federal Audit Clearinghouse which is available for public viewing. Now this? What information could this possibly give the Feds that they don't already force us to give them?

This law is unbelievably intrusive. I have several businesses. You have to submit drivers license, ssn, all sorts of stuff under threat of massive penalties. It’s allegedly to combat money laundering, but presumes guilt, and actual money laundering entities (e.g., check cashing businesses) and the like are exempt. IRS literally just a way for the feds to snoop and harass people.

The government needs the information to further harass businesses with ATF, IRS, EPA, FBI, Dept of Labor, Dept of Commerce. It will be shared with local government so the Fire Dept, Police Dept, Building Code Dept can all show up for further harassment. Of course, state auditor and enforcement personnel will share the data, as will out of state government agencies. With geolocation information, they will know exactly where you are sitting.

Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), former President Donald Trump’s running mate, told Breitbart News exclusively in a written interview after his victorious debate performance against Minnesota’s Democrat Gov. Tim Walz last week that Trump deserves the credit for developing the strategy that propelled him to victory. Vance told Breitbart News that Trump told him in the lead-up to the debate that he should focus his criticisms on Vice President Kamala Harris—the Democrats’ presidential nominee—rather than wasting time and energy on Walz. Vance said Trump’s idea clearly “worked,” and he thanked the former president for it afterwards

Just when you thought the left couldn’t get any more desperate, they go and try to resurrect the Russiagate narrative that plagued news coverage of former President Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s latest book is a flop, selling only 27,000 copies in its first week, according to the Washington Free Beacon. That’s significantly less than the 167,000 copies of her previous book, “What Happened,” that were sold in the first week after its release in 2017. [Tweets] Speaking of “what happened,” what exactly happened here with her book’s latest sales? Critics like the Beacon’s Andrew Stiles say this latest book is just “another memoir about how unfair it was that she lost to Donald Trump and why you still owe her an apology for being right about everything.”

How do you do, fellow dudes? A 90-second video of “typical” men expressing their support for Kamala Harris was widely mocked online Friday — with critics trashing the awkward spot as the “cringiest political ad ever” and an “absurd piece of rubbish.” The clip features a slew of apparent farmers, car enthusiasts and gym junkies boasting about their masculinity as they repeatedly insist, “I’m a man” and “I’m man enough.” The script then takes a hard feminist turn as the presumed actors — most of whom were filmed doing outdoor activities or perched on trucks — start rattling off ways they aren’t afraid to support women. “You think I’m afraid to rebuild a carburetor?

Author and filmmaker Liz Plank shared the video on her Instagram account "feministabulous" showing Whitmer feeding her a Doritos chip while she is kneeling. "If he won’t, Gretchen Whitmer will," a caption under the Instagram video post reads.

Former President Donald Trump won’t appear on a voters’ pamphlet mailed across Oregon because the 2024 GOP nominee missed the deadline to submit a statement in the informational guide, officials said. Trump, along with his running mate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, will still be on the state’s ballot in his quest to retake the White House this November, but will be one of three presidential candidates that won’t show up in the booklet recently sent out to 3 million voters, according to reports. Along with not submitting a candidate statement, his campaign did not fork over a fee of $3,500, the Oregon Capitol Chronicle reported last month.
