OPERATION CHOKE POINT: Why Gun And Cigar Lovers Should Loathe Leftists

In the last couple of weeks my cigar company has had a hell of a time trying to find a credit card processing company that’ll do recurring revenue charges for my customers who’d like to get an automated, monthly dose of one of the finest cigars on this planet, our Safari Cigar.

As my team and I were going back and forth trying to find a company to handle our transactions, I started redlining, getting a wee bit pissed, about how ridiculous it has become to do trade.

My business boys tried to calm me down by telling me it was normative now for banks to crap on our enterprise, given that cigars have been deemed a “high risk” business. Their explanation and well-meaning solace made me even more annoyed, causing me to yell, “What is this, Russia?” And then I said, “No … it can’t be Russia because Russia wouldn’t do stupid, PC junk like this.”

Fast forward to this past Wednesday when my publicist called me and said Newsmax TV wanted me on to talk about “Operation Choke Point” with JD Hayworth and Miranda Khan on their show, America’s Forum.

Having a new book to plug, of course I said, “Yes” even though, and I hate to admit it, I had no clue what Operation Choke Point (OCP) was. I thought it was some kind of organized rescue effort to try to save Rosie O’Donnell if she ever started gagging on nachos again during a lesbian cruise to Nassau. So, I googled OCP and, low and behold, did I find a little treasure trove of backdoor control that has come to characterize BHO and his boys’ modus operandi for the last six years.

Essentially, Operation Choke Point, launched in 2013 in partnership with the DOJ, is a program that makes a financial institution’s life a living hell, with insane audits and investigations, if they provide services to clients who are a part of an “offensive industry” that is rife with “fraudulent activities.”

So, I started to dig a around a bit to see what they deem “offensive” because it’s always interesting in Obamaland to see what they brand as bellicose.

Offensive businesses, according to OCP, are porn sites and prostitution. Also, included were online gaming, Ponzi schemes, payday loans, bogus MLM sites, and check cashing stores.

Okay, I can see how those are gross, some illegal, but I really don’t know that they demand an “Operation” to quell them.

Continuing on, I started running into offensive things like fireworks, as in firecrackers. And I’m like … huh? Fireworks? Really?

And then it started getting really good, as I saw in my ham-fisted online research that OCP also targets banks that work with online gun and ammo sales and tobacco.

There it was … buried deep in the dastardly heap of porn, pirate hookers and bottle rockets are the nefarious, oh-so-offensive, guns and cigars. It took awhile, but I found ‘em.

Lets see: firearms and cigars are a “high risk” and an “offensive industry?” To whom? Mary Poppins? Not to the millions that own and use both.

Also, someone help me here, since when did gun and ammo sales become fraud laden? That industry is more regulated than Bill is when Hillary’s in town and in one of her “moods”; and yet, the DOJ is going to lump them in with porn and Ponzi schemes and threaten banks with unannounced audits? Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

According to Alden Abbott of Heritage.org- "The National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for firearms and ammunitions manufacturers, said that several of its members have had banking relationships wrongfully terminated as a result of Operation Choke Point. The group argues the federal government is discriminating against businesses simply because they are engaged in the lawful commerce of firearms."

And cigars? Cigars? Cigar companies are “filled with such widespread deception” that they demand being squeezed out of existence with a special-op via the DOJ? I bet George Burns, JFK and Winston Churchill are spinning in their respective graves so fast they could light up all of Vegas. Pardon me, but my BS detector is pinging on that claim.

Here’s what it boils down to with me and my little cigar company, my love of guns and this thing called freedom: Obama and his ilk’s freakish control fetishes have failed so miserably in the last few years that they have resorted to bullying banks to punish people they’ve deemed enemies and make it impossible for legitimate businesses to operate. That’s what you call a “fundamental transformation” of America. I don’t know how a gun owner or a cigar lover can still support such liberty-abusing louts like Obama and his clowns.

Bloggers need to stop blogging, we need to stop typing, we need to get out of our chairs and say enough is enough!

We have a very legitimate reason for doing so, and if some don’t get it, even after the trials, and executions of hundreds and hundreds of traitors in our government when the truths come out. Then too bad. PC has creeped into conservative groups, we can’t even call a spade a spade, without being demonized by every media outlet, and liberal in our nation.

If today were the day the revolution started and the Founders were leading it to restore the constitution, do you think they would have us? That second amendment is there for a reason, and we have put up with it for much too long. I fear they would say we could have stopped it, that we’ll just get in the way.

Now, you must understand that Obama does not have a freaky control fetish motivating his actions. His actions are determined by someone else, likely through Jarret, to undermine and destroy our way of life....and boy is it ripe for just that. We can no longer restore the constitution through free speech because the people behind the veil control the media, and all other information industries. Therefore it stands to reason that the Second is the ultimate end of the road check and balance granted to the public by the constitution FOR THE CONSTITUTION. Which is all that matters.

I ask everyone here what makes us so good that we are unwilling to sacrifice and give everything for it? Many did before, because they knew they had no other choice. We owe it to them to not go down like this, it’s a shame we have been burdened with the age of PC bullshit, but there is an enemy in the Oval Office. Enough is enough, and we should do it for the constitution, and for all the blood spilled before us.

You have to understand that I am not advocating violence, but a show of force. A demand for private civilian investigations and a total shut down of the federal government to perform surgery and remove the corrupt, traitorous evil that has infected the highest echelons of American government. A million armed citizens marching down the mall to Capitol Hill, and the White House will give us that at least. I am sure there are even some democrats that would support us. After they see what the second amendment was truly meant for. Anyone with dirt on any scandal will come clamoring out of the woodwork to spill their dirty guts.

If they want to start a war with the American people then they get to shoot first. Then the country will really see the American government and their true colors. Otherwise they can go quietly to the noose or firing squad. It does matter, there should not be bloodshed, except for those truly guilty.

I do not believe very many understand that we do not have much time left. A lot believe the pendulum will swing back soon, but this is it. This is the fight, here now. I know it is not pleasant or what anyone wants, but this is the way it is, and soon something like this will have to be done. That is if we want an constitutional restoration.

Yes, this isn’t hypothetical, it’s dead serious time. The men who brought us this once great country would have done something like this years ago.

It’s either fight back, through show of force or possibly secession of a few major key states. The innocent people at Waco and Ruby Ridge probably never thought it could happen to them. But it will happen everywhere, if we allow it to go on like this much longer. Anyone who says it can’t or won’t should do some research about many people in government today, and see their ties to our sworn enemies, the media, and anyone that does not believe in liberty and justice for all, but just for them. They in fact, want a cleansing of anyone who would fight them, that is their end goal. Once that is done, they will seize power. Is that a America where you want any of your children, or grandchildren living in?
