Well first and foremost I want to thank all of you who continue to vote for me in the OCSM. I am thrilled to be ahead there, and wonder what will happen when the other categories thin out and some are left only with the OCSM to go for.
Secondly, another update on the bank situation...First I will clarify by saying this..... I run my business as legit as can be done. I learned long ago that it is far better to have the government owe you if they audit, then to owe them even 10 cents!! With that said i always leave some deductions out. I am fully licensed, all my state and city, and federal taxes are paid QUARTERLY and in advance. I am ALWAYS on time with my payments to everything, and my credit score runs just shy of 800. I have not bounced a check or had ANY ISSUES WHATSOEVER at Chase bank in all the years I have been there.
With that said, the banker that assisted me yesterday told me that honestly there is no reason my account would be flagged. He said that they are doing it to people they find work in the adult industry....period. As I researched more last night i came to find that this is called Operation Choke Point. The Department of Justice has told the FDIC that they cannot insure banks with what they consider "high risk" businesses or lines of work. It is not just the porn industry. They have closed accounts on Pawn Shops, Antique Dealers, Gun Merchants, Ammunition Dealers, Multi Level marketing businesses such as Amway members, Gambling halls, and even Check Cashing businesses. There are more even.
When Obama said he would push through things that would not get passed by congress he meant it. This whole thing has been done in a very quiet end around of the Senate and congress both. The first level of this was Pornography, probably to gain the support of conservatives. The actual focus that I am starting to glean out of this mess is the guns. It really has to do with the failed gun bills. They are lumping the Guns in with a bunch of things that many would consider immoral, and with that are hoping that the usually pro gun conservatives would be so delighted that Adult businesses were being put out of business that many of them would not support stopping this attack.
I think they are very wrong on this mind you, there are a lot of you reading this right now that are conservatives God loves naked people too, I'm pretty sure God made us naked in the first place, and I have yet to find in the Bible where it says "Don't take naked pictures or video" and I'm absolutely sure it doesn't say "thou shalt not watch people have sex on the internet." LOL No seriously, it doesn't.
Anyway, Chase made me out a cashiers check. Cashiers checks are supposed to be as good as cash. Realizing that my social security number is now blacklisted with the banking system, no matter where I go they will eventually be forced by the FDIC to close my account, so I decided I was going to take this cashiers check back to Chase, where they have my money anyway, and of course the cashiers check is from them. Anyway, I went in to tell them I need to arrange for it to be cashed (cause I know they would need advanced warning for that much of a withdrawal), she looked me straight in the eye and said "we won't be able to cash that for you, you will need to go to another financial institution"
As I dialed my attorney she decided to look into it further and came back with a date that I may come in and collect my deposits from them. Hopefully this will actually happen on that date.
In my personal opinion, this actually seems to be about gun control. 4 of the "High Risk" Businesses that are on this list are gun/ammunition dealers of sorts. Pawn shops, Antique dealers, and of course the gun dealers and ammunition dealers. I may be wrong, but Obama has never shown an interest in ending pornography, but gun control is huge on his list, and if he could get conservatives behind this by including the "immoral" Gambling and adult business, then maybe he would finally have a chance to make it happen.
I think gun control is certainly part of it, but from what I've read with it also targeting things like fireworks, tobacco, charities, and pharmaceutical companies, ultimately it's all about control. Controlling things some people with power don't like. But right now, it's aimed at businesses and people that when they complain, too many will dismiss as really having some other reason for what's happened to them. Now whether this came from Obama himself or some DOJ guy in Philly and those higher than him thought it was a good idea, it appears as though it was kept from those in Congress until their constituents called and they saw it on the news. So there was no "I'll give you this, if you'll let me have that" dealing that I can tell. And even if there was, no real Conservative would have gone along with harming innocent people who are breaking no law while also making it harder for us all to defend ourselves, and in doing so not out in the open by laws passed by Congress and signed by the President. That is the mark of a Progressive. A political strain currently infesting both parties, started by Theodore Roosevelt.
You're definitely right about the God stuff. We still come into this world naked and pretty much as long as you're not hurting someone or stealing from them, you're good to go. He just wanted us to be nice to each other and stay out of other people's affairs but didn't care what we did otherwise, and here we are prying into each other's lives and trying to force each other to do things or not do things because some of us don't like it. People just need to mind their own business and leave each other alone until they actually do something to harm someone.
Hopefully you can get your money out, Mandy, and while I was partially kidding about the Swiss and Cayman banks, from what I've read, you may have to go to them because even if this is stopped and reversed, our banks are gonna be too gun shy to take you back.
And hopefully you'll continue to do well in the OCSM category
My x16 a day should certainly help
Policitics as usual it seems, use one item to force another in your benefit. No matter if other (honest) people get drecked into shit and damaged because of it. Sickens me. And I am pretty sure some conservatives are giving themselves a hand while watching you here on Freeones or perhaps on your personal sites, sick!!!!!!
All the best Mandy, by the way trying to cash their own cheque at their own bank, wunderful move.....hope your attorney gets to help you out dear,k In wish you all the best. Land of the free, oh dear........back 30 years in time?
Kisses......
More like over 100 years ago. Back before Theodore Roosevelt.
