JPMorgan Chase is back to debanking. Once again, it’s not providing any explanations. And once again it’s targeting people who dare to question the Left Government/Woke Business conspiracy against liberty.
At about the same time, it appears, Chase debanked, without warning, Drs. Syed Haider and Joseph Mercola. Wait, no. Not just them, but also Dr. Mercola’s employees – and his and their families. All without explanation.
These debankings don’t come without context. You may recall that last fall Chase debanked Senator, Ambassador and Governor (so, you know, pretty well respected) Brownback’s religious liberty organization, after having debanked General Flynn and a series of other conservatives. Chase got called on the Brownback debanking and first stonewalled and then lied, a half dozen times, about the reasons for the debanking, and then went back to stonewalling.
...
the debanked doctors turn out to be conservatives, too – or at least they’re sufficiently opposed to the woke big government/big business monolith that they were willing to question the efficacy of the lockdown regime.
...
he’d dared to “publish[] over 600 articles on Facebook that cast doubt on Covid-19 vaccines since the pandemic began, reaching a far larger audience than other vaccine skeptic
...
Oh, the horror. Disagreement about scientific questions? Can not have. Especially if the right scientists have refuted some underlying positions.
You know, the way the right scientists refuted the lab-leak theory.
Mercola also helped to publicize a study that claimed that the “covid vaccines were ‘a medical fraud’ and said the injections did not prevent infections, provide immunity or stop transmission of the disease.”
...
Haider similarly questioned the efficacy of the vaccines, and documented the slow admissions that he and other skeptics had been correct in their claims.
...
Now, I don’t have any opinion on the veracity of other claims that Mercola and Haider may have made. I, like decisionmakers at Chase, am not a doctor. And I certainly don’t have any public opinions about the 2024 primaries. But that’s hardly the point. Once again we have a situation in which Chase has shut down accounts of people orthogonal to the big-gov/big-biz conjuncture without explanation.
And this time, in a move reminiscent of the type of bills of attainder that are constitutionally forbidden to American governments, the ban extends not only to companies, but to individual employees and their families.
Unless there’s a terrific, non-partisan, non-censoring reason for all of this, that’s monstrous.
It’s always possible that the fact that Chase’s debanking of organizations and people (and now their families) just happens always to fall on those espousing anti-woke positions, even though Chase adamantly refuses to provide any true explanations for them, but is happy to tell lie after demonstrable lie. It’s possible.
Really, though, what are the odds? They’re certainly getting longer.
Coutts Bank of Britain recently debanked Nigel Farage, who championed Brexit. All of the other banks of England followed along. But then it was discovered that the debanking had been political. So the British government is investigating, and the head of NatWest, which owns Coutts, has been, as they say, sacked.
You’re up, American politicians. Time for a full investigation of debanking at JPMorgan Chase and some of the other malefactors of great piles of other people’s wealth, like Bank of America. Find out what’s really going on and why, so that some of the mighty may fall the way of the NatWest CEO.
I would bet the banks have taken in feds as employees which have algorithms that glean customers with views contrary to those approved by government. As they did with Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc.... they are now doing with banking. Cancelled.
I would love for Chase to debank us. All we have there are the wife’s old credit card and maybe the Amazon or Cabela’s card? Either way, debanking would save us a couple thousand bucks!
Chase is one of the dirtiest banks there is.
Major money launderers for the Columbian cartels back in the day for starters.
Banking was my career.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT.
Chase is the Lowest example of the corruption of banking.
They should just fade away. Maybe some day they will.
we have very little money in Chase but I do use it to pay bills online....thank God our mortgage is paid off..
Looking back on it I now wonder if the writers had Chase in mind ... although they're not the only major bank that supports major crime orgs.
Evil people.
tHANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT EPISODE OF MIAMI VICE.
The show might have been on on Friday nights...I missed years of TV because I worked ...in banking ...on Friday nights.
Do you stream your TV? If so Tubi has the entire series and Tubi is free/non-subscription.
Good quality too, good audio and video. Re-watched the whole series on cable about 15 years ago and the quality was horrible. But I loved the original (didn’t miss an episode) and wanted to see it again.
I think streaming has got to improve before I want to use it.
I am, sorry to say, spoiled by DirecTV. As much as I despise their politics, you can just with a couple of clicks find out about actors, writers, directors and sooo much more.
When and if, streaming improves, I’ll be there. Now, I use it sparingly. A problem usually arises to disrupt viewing and it turns me OFF.
Read later.
Ditto. I used to have a safebox there; but got a letter one time which included something to this effect: do not keep valuables in your safebox. We reserve the right to open and inspect the contents at any time, for any reason, or for no reason." Turned in my keys w/ a big "no thanks."
Then, years later, when I saw what the gov't and banks did to the Canadian truckers, I drained the account down to just what I need, like you, to pay bills and the minimums on deposit to avoid all fees. I tell anyone who asks, "Keep in banks only an amount you can afford to lose."
If Trump wins, just imagine the horror when he starts debanking Chase from federal money transfers.
Miami Vice is awesome.
Crockett’s backstory is that he was a WR for the Florida Gators.
Instead, Jamie is building a 1300’ cathedral for himself on Park Avenue in NYC.
Major banks work with the corrupt regime and you will get f’d
Also a Vietnam vet although they didn’t bring that up much.
I loved MV. Fast cars, hot women, great music, lots of gun play, beaches, ocean and good guest actors some of whom weren’t actors but known public figures. What’s not to love?
Re-watching the series last spring for the 3rd time with good audio and video, and the 1st time on a big screen TV, was great. Still noticed actors who went on to have solid careers that I hadn’t spotted before.
