Attention small businesses.
The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA) went into effect on January 1, 2024, to help "prosecute and deter money laundering," to "deter tax fraud," and to deter the peaceful operation of small businesses whose owners don't have time to stay current on every new complex regulation.
Lawyer Lee Phillips said that CTA requires companies to file new sets of paperwork with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) and are essentially being investigated for a crime. Reporting is mandatory. Failure to comply with CTA carries a maximum fine of $500 per day up to $10,000 and criminal penalties, including up to two years in prison.
Simon Black says small businesses are targeted while large, publicly traded companies are specifically exempt from reporting under the CTA. So are hedge funds, banks, and other large financial entities. Heads-up, small business owners.
"Many salutary policies and principles profit from open courts, as the courts themselves confess and concede: first, public confidence in the justice system benefits from openness nor secrecy, public trials not Star Chambers; second, public oversight that can expose misconduct or malfeasance in the justice system; and third, “community therapy” or the communal value of public truth-finding and accountability. A government of the people, by the people and for the people cannot tolerate secret, closed courts hiding truth, obscuring evidence, and imprisoning those who report on it."

“The World Health Organization has started [May 2022] drafting a Global Pandemic Treaty on pandemic preparedness that would grant WHO absolute power over global biosecurity, such as the power to implement digital identities / vaccine passports, mandatory vaccinations, travel restrictions, lockdowns, standardized medical care and more.
This Pandemic Treaty, if implemented, will change the global landscape and strip you and me of some of our most basic rights and freedoms.
Make no mistake, the WHO Pandemic Treaty is a direct attack on the sovereignty of its member states, as well as a direct attack on your bodily autonomy.”

"The townspeople in High Noon do not come to the aid of their sheriff. The citizens in the tavern are on the side of the revenge-driven criminals. The citizens in church are in favor of peace at the expense of both liberty and law. The pastor cannot make up his mind."
