The frequency of citizen bank accounts being closed with no warning or reason given seems to be increasing in frequency. Not just Chase; not just vaccine non-narrative. Ability to pay bills, even function in society is destroyed. Do we have no protection against our own U.S. banks? The FDIC protection in this case does not apply. Recent article: “US Banks Are Abruptly Freezing Accounts, Halting Withdrawals Without Warning” July 22 2023. Note many State attorneys general have accused JP Morgan of freezing accounts based on “religious and political biases”.

I just received this comment by email from a reader about the previous article and felt in my heart that I needed to post it:

"Carpal tunnel is a subject close to my heart. I started piano lessons at 5, learned to transcribe quickly (to create scripts for my children's theater productions) at 10, learned to type QWERTY at 14 (nine years of piano practice later) on those huge clunky iron machines everyone used to use in the 60's and right from the start was very fast, had very strong fingers, and still type on iron manual typewriters (which I collect) for pleasure.

Fell into professional transcription in order to live an alternative lifestyle so I could work at home and homeschool my kid (while living on a boat). I've made a living this way for almost 40 years. Of course I developed carpal tunnel while living on a 24-foot sailboat and typing in the galley (on a computer) during the Gulf War I—terrible ergonomics. When it eventually became impossible to type, I left the big city and moved to the country because I couldn't make enough of a living with damaged wrists. At that point, I couldn't write with a pen, cut veggies with a knife, or hold a coffee cup. I could barely drive my 1971 VW bus which did not have power steering and could feel the disability moving down my back.

Started homesteading in the country, got goats to make my own feta and yoghurt, and was startled three weeks after my first goat "freshened" (came into milk) that I was doing carpentry, hauling water from the well, chopping wood—all these essential things I had been relying on my teenaged son to do. It was quite a shock. I refused surgery all along. And do not trust pharmaceuticals.

We had lived in India for awhile where I developed a love of "curd"--a simple cheese the Northern Indians commonly throw into their curries. We made curry with curd every night once we had goat milk. It was a great way to get a LOT of the medicinal components of the (unpasteurized) fresh goat milk into your body.

And it completely cured my carpal tunnel. In three weeks! I have been transcribing and milking goats for 25 years now since the exacerbation of the carpal tunnel, chopping wood, hauling water (and hay and 50 lbs. bags of hay), chainsawing, etc. Also learning to play the cello. My shoulder girdle gives me a bit of trouble now that I'm over 60 and insisted on chopping wood by hand with a very heavy axe, but my carpal tunnel never came back. I did buy an electric logsplitter or I probably would have froze to death because of problems with my shoulders. I still make a living doing transcription as a freelancer. I am 69.

It's the milk. Goat's milk is incredibly medicinal. Store-bought is pasteurized and does not contain most of the healthy components you need to heal. It also smells "goaty" which indicates the presence of too much bacteria. But fresh, unpasteurized milk from a goat that eats primarily grass and wild herbs (AKA "weeds") cannot be beat.

Where I live old timers always keep at least one goat because they know fresh goat milk prevents arthritis.

Because I'm not a paid subscriber I could not read your treatments. But I've never needed anything other than my goats. Their milk is also much better than infant formula."

I think they are trying it out to see how the people react. It is completely outrageous, completely totalitarian and extremely dishonest, and it is also a psychological test of sorts in my opinion. If there is an outrage, they'll step back, then try again, etc. As usual, a strong reaction on our part can make them at least temporarily stop being totally shameless. It won't change their overall goals but we have some power.

Sadly, this is the future. You will be debanked (and basically unpersoned) if you dissent from the current narrative. The writing was on the wall with the Canadian truckers, which is why my rule for banks is the same as my rule for crypto:

Only put in what you can afford to lose.

I was a Midwestern Pharmaceutical Representative back in the 70s and early 80s. That was before doctors were owned and controlled by hospitals, and before hospitals and the FDA were owned and controlled by the pharmaceutical industry.

Toward the end of my career in the pharmaceutical business, I earned an M.B.A. My fields of concentration were marketing and management. I would eventually leave the corruption of the pharmaceutical industry for a better paying job in advertising and sales promotion. I loved it.

Also at that time, one of my best customers, a Midwestern Doctor, decided to give up his independence for the security of a government job and a secure paycheck with the Air Force. I couldn’t believe it. Why would a person who was highly trained, with years of wonderful experience, decide to give it all away and join the military?

Then it came to me. As an independent, he actually had to PRACTICE medicine. He had to think for himself. With every patient, he had to work hard to earn and keep that patient’s trust.

Most young physicians today really think that they’re practicing medicine. They’re not. The pharmaceutical industry tells the hospitals what must be done for a patient, and the hospitals tell the doctors. The doctors order all kinds of tests, at outrageous prices to insurance companies. The patient is abused with invasive procedures, most of which are unnecessary.

Doctors sold their souls to the devil for security. And, the devil always gets the souls he targets. It’s a mess. My advice? Invest in a mutual fund with many international pharmaceutical companies. The stocks in that fund will always grow. As to picking a doctor? Don’t. They’re ALL compromised.

This is precisely fascism, as the founder of fascism, Mussolini, said in his eponymous 1932 The Doctrine of Fascism. You can read if for free, about 10 -12 pp, depending on how you print it out https://sjsu.edu/faculty/wooda/2B-HUM/Readings/The-Doctrine-of-Fascism.pdf "All within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state" said Benito Mussolini. Speech to Chamber of Deputies (9 December 1928), quoted in Propaganda and Dictatorship (2007) by Marx Fritz Morstein, p. 48.

Very simply, fascism is the merger of the socialist state with co-opted, crony big biz, whereas its socialist COUSIN, Marxism, has the state directly own the means of production. There is also the issue of nationalism vs internationalism (which is why the National SOCIALISTS, aka Nazis, wanted their leibensraum in the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics). Anyone see the common word there? a

Oh yeah. Socialists fighting? Why did communist Brezhnev almost nuke communist Mao in the Ussuri River war ~1970 (Nixon said if he did, the US would get involved, so it stopped) ? Why did communist China TWICE invade communist Vietnam in the late 1970s?

Nazi stands for the Nazionale Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei – the National SOCIALIST German Workers Party. Was it just a name, as some try to excuse it? Then why did the Nazi’s introduce the “Reichsarbeitsdienst” – the National Labour Svc that had public work systems; why the “Kraft durch Freude,” where the STATE even took care of the leisure time of workers? The only difference is that the Nazis were socialist, racist nationalists, and the left today are socialist inter-racial globalists. Otherwise, it is identical, including the use of brownshirt street thugs, Kristallnacht (night of the broken windows), Aktion T-4, (a euthanasia programme; notice BLM never protests at Planned Parenthood, THE leading killer of black today) etc. etc. Either way, the common man, justice and truth are squashed.

Here are some of the planks of the Nazis, adopted in Munich on February 24, 1920:

“We ask that the government undertake the obligation above all of providing citizens with adequate opportunity for employment and earning a living… We demand profit sharing in big business… the government must provide an all-around enlargement of our system of public education. . . We demand the education at government expense of gifted children of poor parents. . . . The government must undertake the improvement of public health… permanent recovery of our people can only proceed from within on the foundation of The Common Good Before the Individual Good”

No the Nazis did not advocate public ownership of production, only that the govt oversee and run the economy, as they knew that legal ownership wasn’t what counted, but rather CONTROL. So, private citizens could hold title – as long as the state had the unqualified right to use their property. I.e., de facto socialism, the STATE still controls. Or, as Carl Limbacher wrote in NewsMax, Dec. 5, 2005, “Benito Mussolini's Fascist economic policy, which he called the "mixed economy," tried to combine Marxism with capitalism. What resulted was a dictatorship which allowed limited economic freedom to those favored industries willing to operate under government patronage.” The observant among you will note well the phrase “operate under government patronage.” In fact, private industry was a hostage of the Nazis. They did not hesitate to confiscate Junker's aircraft business, or threaten the others with creating a government-run business to compete with it. BASF was so created. Hitler also did not hesitate to threaten the lives and families of any industrialist who did not cooperate. Speer allegedly did so when he ran the German economy. Why leftists think ANY private citizen would be able to thwart somebody who literally controlled the power of life and death over them is beyond me. Wages of Destruction by Adam Tooze is one book exploring this.

In fact, as Nick Sorrentino notes at http://www.againstcronycapitalism.org/2014/02/are-fascism-and-socialism-opposites-or-2-sides-of-the-same-coin/, “Both Nazis and Communists are for ever more power to the state. Those with a classically liberal drift (classical liberalism is the same at conservatism) are on the other end of the political spectrum (assuming we want to be intellectually honest). As Daniel Hannan points out below, one of the key differences between the two similar camps is that Hitler (and others) saw that it was just more efficient to keep the bourgeois factory owners and managers in place than to liquidate the entire class as they had in Soviet Russia. It wasn’t like the factory owners and other business owners weren’t under the thumb of the party vanguard post 1933, or that the industrialists even “owned” the Nazi Party. They were just kept on and co-opted in technocratic German style. And as Laurence Dodd’s noted in UK’s Telegraph, at http://www.telegraph.co.uk/opinion/, “Goebbels never doubted that he was a socialist. He understood Nazism to be a better and more plausible form of socialism than that propagated by Lenin. Instead of spreading itself across different nations, it would operate within the unit of the Volk”…. Nazism would simply deliver “der echte Sozialismus”: real socialism, while at the same time getting rid of the Jews. In fact, in Mein Kampf, Hitler wrote expressly on the socialist state vs. liberty: "The unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual; and that the higher interests involved in the life of the whole must here set the limits and lay down the duties of the interests of the individual." Compare this to the US Constitution and the spirit behind it, or even the Magna Carta. And you need not guess which side the US Democrat party is on.

The only seeming difference between Hitler’s Nazism and today’s National Socialists is that Aryan racial purity. Or is it? Truth is, the self-proclaimed “elite” are now the uber menschen, and we hoi polloi in flyover country are the new Poles, Jews, bibleforschers (in English, we would call them “Bible bangers) -10% of the Dachau concentration camp was made up of Christian clergy, as one example), etc. And of course, relative to racial purity as www.blackgeocide.com notes, over 15.5 million black babies have been aborted since 1973 - 1,876 babies every single day, while in 2010, the most recent year available, 138,539 black babies were aborted - nearly one baby in three was murdered in the womb in 2010, per http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/21/j-kenneth-blackwell-black-abortions-a-crisis-in-am/ Sadly, leftist blacks are voting for their own liquidation. Another example is Obamacare architect Zeke Emanuel not so subtly suggesting that other "useless eaters" or "Lebensunwertes Leben" (life unworthy of life) just die at 75, per his famous statement.

Bottom line: "Don't mess with our business model". This is where we are as a species. And it took decades to arrive at this point. So sad.

Excellent stack. Thank you so much. My father passed last year and while in his decline he suffered with dementia. After consulting with a geriatrics doctor he was placed on medication for the dementia (I’d have to look in the record to remember which one). Within a couple weeks, my brother (who lives close) and me (2 hours away) both noticed he was worse, not better. We finally got my mother to pull him off. He was briefly better but then declined again with his other issues and passed in hospice a few weeks later. Now I will watch everything the place my mother on like a hawk. I wish I’d known all this a year ago. :( thank you though!

About 33 y ago i coordinated a double blind trial of a potential Alzheimer drug at the memory disorder clinic at U of South Florida. I can't remember (lol) the name. It did not "work" except on one very severely impaired patient who got to keep taking it. After I left, I kept up with Christmas cards with her husband. Year after year, I thought she must have died. She lived for many years in a severe fetal position state. I always wondered if these drugs slow progression to cause a long drawn out death.

The banks should be aware .. that they do not have a free pass when siding with medical gangsters... when the time comes ... so will the prosecutions... any company who assisted the vaccine industry for profit will also be guilty by association.. and it will serve them right if they receive substantial penalties... and possibly long jail terms... duh!

I find it a little ironic that Elon changed Twitter to X because x means everything and I couldn't agree more. Keep the Faith. Hold the Line.

If we had many more but smaller corporations, as well as small family owned stores, service companies and manufacturers the power of political correctness would be weakened. If your boss is a jerk you just go to a new job. This situation developed because people would be concerned about the power of large corporations, so they would demand that the government Do Something. The rules and regulations thereby induced would make life much harder for small companies than for large, who would just filled up a room with lawyers and accountants. (Don't throw me into that briar patch!) This consolidated power in both corporations and government. We need rules that give the economic advantage to smaller companies, and tend to cause a large company to fission into smaller ones. It also needs to be easy to start a new company; you want to make it easy for a group of bright, young executives and engineers to leave their parent company and start their own, infuriating their old bosses. (I used to tell people that as long as the corporations support the Republicans the Democrats will do their bidding.)

There's some interesting research being done on the use of transcranial focused ultrasound for Alzheimer's. It's based on a very interesting model of the disease that is connected with Nobel laureate physicist Roger Penrose's theory of consciousness.

I recommend "Knowledge and Decisions" by Thomas Sowell to better understand how organizations and individuals end up making these horrible decisions. They are responding rationally to incentives. We have pushed decision-making away from individuals, and have made the cost of information needed to hold decision-makers accountable exceedingly high .

This is where you are doing a great service.
