People in Australia are reporting that the government's Anti Money Laundering rules are being used by banks to try to force them to reveal the private details of every single transaction, including the use of any cash. Orwellian? Yes - but this is a double edged sword as this exact strategy has been successfully used in reverse against banks and could even result in them collapsing!
I recently came across the following post on X by Louis Christopher, founder of a research company.

He explains that his bank, empowered by the government, had asked him the following questions:
- How has he built up his wealth?
- Why has he made cash withdrawals?
- Is he holding cash at home? If so, why?
- Why did he make certain transactions to third parties?
His story has now been covered by mainstream media in Australia:

To the naive and 'hard of thinking' this might all seem quite reasonable, but it is not. Privacy is not only the default state of humans in many cases, but it is a necessary part of living in a society with many people who are quite happy to abuse their position to exploit and do harm to others. There are countless examples of people claiming to be 'protecting' others or 'acting in our best interests' who actually did great harm. In the case of our private data, not only can they use this to try to overpower us - the data itself is VERY VALUABLE.
Information Is The New Oil
Surveillance capitalism is often cited as the fastest growing sources of wealth creation - in other words, people are getting hugely rich by spying on us in any way possible. So while governments can try to justify intrusions of privacy under the guise of 'protecting against terrorism' etc. - the reality is that they can do far more harm as a result of their intrusion than they are ever likely to prevent.
Those who have access to oversight of all transactions are able to control everyone in intolerable ways. If I know every last thing you spend money on and also why - then I can map out your life and personality in a very fine grained way. I could use this to microtarget you with advertising in precisely the right way and at precisely the right time to get you to buy products/services from companies that I and my cronies operate, rather than my competitors.. and that is a best case scenario.
The worst case scenario is total economic enslavement - even worse than already exists. You cannot be free and neither can the 'economy' be free under such a top-down control grid, where a tiny number of people know everything about everyone's finances all the time.
Centralisation of power is the biggest threat to human survival.
Can Banks & Governments 'Prove Their Wealth'?
One of the strategies that has been used successfully to fend off attacks from governments and corporations that seek to extract payment for alleged debts includes an aspect which is very similar to that which the government in Australia is trying to pull off - yet few know aobut it, mostly due to censorship on social media networks.
In essence, if a legal entity claims you owe them a debt on credit or a loan, they must (in numerous jurisdictions around the world) prove that the debt is real, if challenged to do so. This means that they must provide:
- A signed contract showing you lawfully agreed to the debt.
- THE ACCOUNTING WHICH PROVES THAT THEY HAD THE MONEY TO LOAN IN THE FIRST PLACE
The process and situation is more complex than I am explaining here, but in short, if the 'lender' cannot prove that they had the money to loan in the first place, then they cannot validate the alleged debt. Doing this would require them to reveal significant amounts of their organisation's entire accounting to a court - which would almost certainly expose numerous forms of criminality within their organisation. They, thus then, never ever do this. Instead, they just act like the situation never arose and you do not hear from them again.
Note: It is very important to ONLY do this after thorough research. The correct language and understandings must be used. Error can be very costly!
So as with so many aspects of the power struggle on Earth, what at first seemed like an intimidating wall of overpowering, can actually be reversed - using energetic aikido, in this case through law.
A good place to learn about this kind of topic is the InPower Movement.
