I had drinks with a loan officer at the local bank in this town of 1,400, and he said — get this — there are just 182 small banks left in the entire United States of America. Now read this from “American Free Press,” a great weekly newspaper with which I once had strong ties (and which was founded by my late, great friend Willis Carto): “On June 22, when AFP staffers checked the orders first thing in the morning, they noticed something was strange. The online credit charges beginning at midnight had all come back as unsettled. A “general error†was listed as the reason for the processing problem.
After calling AFP’s merchant service provider, the company that processes our credit cards, we were told in no uncertain terms that our account had been closed.
“The risk department sent over the closure notice yesterday afternoon,†said “Jacob,†the poor guy from Colorado who was being paid close to minimum wage by an answering service to field the phone calls. “I guess it went through at midnight.â€
In 2013, AFP had set up an account with USB Payment Services, a merchant service provider based out of Baltimore, Md., for the sole reason that we preferred to do business with an independent company that was not beholden to shareholders at some mega-bank.
For four years, that company took a percentage in “fees†of all of the credit card sales that AFP made.
A few months ago, however, USB was bought out by banking giant Wells Fargo.
And with no phone call, letter, or email, someone at Wells Fargo just decided to cancel AFP’s credit card processing account, and they were not even going to tell us about it.”
 (I learned of a murder conspiracy against me in a bar, then reported it to the sheriff, who then spoke with the three individuals under suspicion.) https://johndenugent.com/…/sheriff-warns-three-local…/ And guess who gave speeches in BEER HALLS?  (Hint: He was born on April 20th, 1889.  )
The law, as I understand it, is that any business that serves the American public must serve every American who wants such service. To fail in this regard is a crime named “discrimination.” I guess American law no longer matters.
Well, hotels, restaurants, restrooms and public conveyances, such as buses and trains, must.
My account at Woodforest bank was closed with no reason given in 2012, except the truth:
I was gearing up to make a symbolic but loud run for president, and had created a series of powerful presidential videos and a presidential website.
These Russian war videos keep getting better
