I always had a bad feeling about Citizens Bank. Maybe the name reminds me of the French Revolution when all the French were forced to address each other as "Citoyen" or "Citoyenne" - a way to level out society. Kind of like "comrade" [tovarish] after the Russian Revolution. These titles are most unpleasant to the ear.
Everyone should make sure their bank is a local one, where they know you personally, and of course a conservative one which would seemingly not go along with such evil strong arm tactics.
"SCOTT RITTER « DE-BANKED »: FINANCIAL CENSORSHIP STRIKES
Citizens Bank has abruptly closed all of Scott Ritter's accounts (26 years of loyalty): checking, savings, family accounts. Funds zeroed out without explanation. Card declined. Sole response: « We are terminating our banking relationship ».
The former UN inspector and US intelligence officer, a fierce critic of American foreign policy and advocate for peace with Russia, suspects FBI intervention via suspicious activity reports (SAR) tied to his travels and positions.
Even under Trump, financial control mechanisms remain active against dissenting voices. « If they can de-bank me, they can de-bank anyone. »"

Re: Debanking, the new tactic to control
"Francesca Albanese was cut off from all her bank accounts; unable to open new ones or use/ get credit cards.
When you confront them, they will come at you for everything, from every angle— to discredit and silence you. They control the banking systems through which money flows globally, whether through financial institutions or intermediaries like Stripe.
When the US sanctioned Albanese last year, it wasn't just her money that was frozen— her hotel bookings were cancelled, her health insurance refused to reimburse her, she couldn't even use most apps. Even the Christmas gifts her 13-year-old daughter received were sanctioned.
And she was reprimanded only after she began focusing her attention on the powerful American corporations complicit in funding and enabling the genocide in Gaza.
She wrote letters to 48 companies, universities and financial institutions notifying them that they were complicit in and profiting from a genocide— the Trump Administration instantly moved to punish her."
