To my readers: I am not here to speculate about why this may have happened. I am interested in reading the laws and regulations that could have facilitated it. I would also like to come up with independent confirmation that it really happened. I do not have that. Thank you.

My guess is that since he is a virus pusher that this is a way to sheep-dip him into looking like he is on the side of the common man which I don't believe for a second, and to scare the real opposition. I think it was CNN (?) that was fake-stalking him outside his house and he came out on his bicycle with his shirt off (to look like a commoner I suppose) and scooted away from this good-looking female announcer who ambushed him. He's part of the RFK CIA kennel in my guess.

Who would do this exactly? Remember that in public perception, he is viewed as a hero, one of the dirty dozen, and someone who questions many false narratives. The whole dirty dozen with the exception of Sayer and Amandha are virus pushers, that I know of. Jeff? Is that true? PS prior to the 2020 crisis he was one of my favorite mainstream writers.

Whoever is managing him. Its good propaganda for him and a message to others (us). Then he can be on the RFK cabinet, like Trump was for the common man right? How can I in 2020, never before really interested in viruses, take 15 min to find Fan Wu and read it to know its all fraud and this guy in this space still not get it? Come on.

OK. That is one thread -- speculative. As a reporter, I must begin with the basic factual framework and fact pattern. We can evaluate the propaganda value, but right now, my first responsibility is to verify that this occurred; and to see the laws and regulations that were involved. We all need to know about that.

This kinda thing will happen more and more as they try to normalize that social credit scores will be attached to your banking which will be completely be run by AI when CBDC starts and unrelated to any US laws (already in pilot mode in the US I hear).

I believe Dr. Mercola sells vitamins, supplements and the like, and this is something I have read the World Hoax Organization, etc. wants to shut down. Their aim for good health = lots of jabs.

we do not know what "shut down" means. Mercola's tweet does not tell us anything.

what do you mean by 'virus pushers?' This seems like a contradictory term since he questions the safety of vaccines and all drugs and writes exposes of the research that tells us of the problems.

People who do not question that the sars-c-2 virus exists which it blatantly does not, but are against vaxes. This keeps the truth that no virus exists out of the limelight which the pandemic makers want to avoid at all costs. They are happy you focus on anything else, eventually leading to either get a shot "just in case" or a slower toxin like ivermectin.

Eric, which "public" are you referring to when you say that Joe Mercola is viewed as a hero by them? I suspect you vastly overestimate the percentage of the American public that views him, or RFK Jr., as a hero. Furthermore, I'm fairly sure that only a minuscule percentage of the population has even come across, much less entertains the possibility of the verity of the "no virus" concept. Fewer still are those who can conceive of the possibility that there's no such thing as contagion by any means whatsoever. These contingents are so few in number, relatively speaking, and have so little power to reach the population at large, that they virtually don't even exist to the powers-that-be. But Mercola and RFK Jr. do have a large enough audience to pose a threat, though only to a limited degree: they have only as much power as they're are allowed to have. The real powers will do whatever they feel they need to do to stay in power. There's no excuse for anyone who's been politically involved and awake for the past few decades to believe anything else.

Whatever this is about, I'm certain that if it's meant to have any bearing on RFK Jr., it's intended to discredit him, not to vindicate him. To believe we live in a country where "the rule of law" is practiced is ridiculous.

By the public, I mean the segment of the public who might be into health freedom issues, or be concerned about censorship. There is nothing special about Mercola's point of view other than he's part of the "dirty dozen." And the issue that I see is not about Mercola's business account but rather that of a spouse or child of an executive of the company. I am sure you see this implies that there is something other than concern about Mercola's professional point of view.

I absolutely adore your desire for mega logic!!! Thank you for your persistence.

I am amazed at how much main stream attention RFK is actually receiving. He is pushing a lot of populist notions and "exposing" government secrets, so the banking system playing along makes it look like someone in the lab leak camp is being attacked? I am shooting from the hip. But yes, PLEASE CONTINUE TO APPLY LOGIC! I adore that you are esoteric and logical. Me too!

Looking for logic in a scripted Hollyweird production? Have fun with that.

Mercola tells his tale of woe. Hand wringing is optional.

https://alethonews.com/2023/01/30/the-censorship-of-mercola-a-timeline/

Remember in 2021 when Mercola said?:

“When the most powerful individual on the planet targeted me as his primary obstacle to be removed, I reluctantly, and after painstaking deliberation, made the decision to delete over 15,000 health articles from my website. However, I never stopped delivering the most important health news seven days a week.”

This must have been good for his revenues.

Notice how he never stopped being the largest online dealer of vitamin and supplement products.

Then in January 2022 he made his deleted articles available on Substack.

He’s a hot mess. It’s not CNN. It’s HGTV.

Thanks Mark. I need the assistance of someone already familiar with current banking laws, rules and CFR such that I can do this quickly and unequivocally. I have no prior knowledge of this topic and cannot go fishing. Thank you to those who respond with specific CFR, and/or Chase Bank's own regulations and terms of service. This will be a state issue as well.

I am not correct or incorrect. Banks have regulations. If it happened we need to know by what regulation. If it did not happen, we need to know that. I will reach to Chase but we can assume they will not say much.

In the scheme of things - does it matter ? Yes, it probably is a dog & pony show. A distraction. Obamination’s chef being murdered is a ‘distraction.’ Everything Trump ... is a distraction. When our country’s law enforcement is corrupt ( DOJ, FBI, Marshals, Border Patrol...) there is nothing left but a second American revolution and/or Convention of the States (explicitly planned).

Massive widespread ignorance of American history, of our Citizenship status ( 99.5 percent of you are NOT US citizens, but you are state Citizens; of “what makes up The United States? It is ONLY 10 square miles , aka The District of Columbia. As per Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 just add in some military bases, arsenals, and our former territories /then instrumentalities / now called “ the Several States of the United States- Guam, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Northern Marianas Islands ....

Notice how our corrupt government purposefully seeks to confuse regular Citizens !?

We have the 50 states of the Union and now they’ve altered possessions/ territories to be “ the Several States.”

These are despicable people we are up against.

True Eric but under the current war game shouldn't the first question be, "am I chasing a decoy?" Say everyone started chasing Mercola's banking problems but the real deal is the change to CBDC where his banking problem will change overnight to an AI centrally controlled social control grid, not what US law is, and the immediate thing the bankers want to avoid is the development of a local DECENTRALIZED banking or monetary system. Which would be a better use of talented person's time like yourself who might get that ball rolling. I'm not in the US and have my own local fish to fry.

Proton, I've been doing this a long time. And I don't like to waste my resources. We must know whether this is true, and if so, how it happened. If it turns out to be a decoy, that too is news.

No knowledge of US Banking Laws. BUT - after Kanye West was dropped by Chase, he released a letter or two from Chase to him, and there were some kind of references to them being able to choose their clients and drop them if they deemed them no longer alinged with their goals and values (very rough paraphrase.) In my understanding there are the federal laws, then under those, each bank has its own.

Gateway Pundit - if memory serves - has many of the letters from Chase to Dr M and employees. Also, on Celia Farber's SS. If that's what you were referring to. Don't know about refunding the the money, to K West, I'm assuming. A bank cannot take your money until you are overdrawn, or there's an SS or VA overpayment after account holder is decease or an IRS or child support payment order, as far as personal experience goes.

Looks like you may now need an investigative team on banking issues. I imagine this will begin to be an issue in a more broad sense, especially after seeing what happened in Canada with the truckers accounts being shut down. We will all need to know how the banking system works. Stick to your guns! ❤️‍🔥

US and Canada have different regs. We must not rule out government activity, such as a warrant, or associated with a lien. We need the facts here, not speculation.

Expand full comment

You are wrong. Canada shut down the bank accounts of peacefully protesting truckers last summer. Their issue was forced drugging and it was their democratic free speech right to protest. The government, following the WEF goals and those of the US in coordination with the WEF, supported this. I look at it as a test drive for doing this. Remember, or learn, t hat the Great Reset goal is to bring everybody into completely controlled compliance with the totalitarian goals of the WEF. The US is a full part of this effort. Thus, Mercola is being attacked financially in order to destroy his ability to speak out. He has the biggest holisitic health newsletter online with several million readers. Thus he is seen as an enemy of the State. I don't think it is banking rules that need study but the government laws that are used such as they are doing with the espionage act against Julian Assange, a legitimate publisher. That case will be used to legally shutter all journalists as if they are not already compliant to following the official narrative on any issue. They took over Assange's bank accounts, too, trying to prevent him from getting any support. So this is where I would look for the answer about legal laws to allow this closing bank accounts and stealing the money. FYI, the Canadian truckers have never been given back their stolen money last I heard.

BTW, If you file for a lien against someone and the bank if notified, they will take money from your account to pay the lien as per court case awards. And the banks must comply and they do. At best they will notify the owner of this pending action by the bank.

Canada has very different rules than USA. Trudeau makes them up since he is a king/Tyrant. We still have a constutition in this country with very regulated banking systems. I once owed a mortage company. After the 2008 banking disaster the rules became even more regulated. We do have the first Amendentment I sure they have discovered something that they can use to shut him down other than to shut him up. A lien has got to be inforced. In many cases its just a lien against you. No one gets the money. They just can't go into your bank account in this country. Only the IRS after you have beeen notified. I don't know where you are from or where you think this is happening?

Expand full comment

You may have worked in the system but sure have missed a lot of points. First, liens may be against a person or corporation but when they get to be enforced, banks accounts can be hit with money removed. I am in that process right now going after some deadbeats. And if they have bank accounts they will be liened and money removed. The account will not be shut down but money will be removed.

As for first ammendment rights? What is on paper is not what is happening. The covid debacle of the past 3 yrs alone should inform that censorship by the government is happening on a massive scale with government claiming they have the right to do this and having their mouthpieces supporting this as lawyers. If you watched the Sen committee on censorship last week you would have seen an embarrassing display of censorship with legal claims of this power given to the gov't. Lie that it may be, is not the mantra the public is being primed to accept.

So my question to you is where have you been the past 50 yrs?

My dear Tanya, Many people get judgements against all their assets, which is a legal document orignated in the court. Twenty years later still have judgements against them and no one has ever collected a dime. Thats why their are so many collection agencies in this country. They call and call you. They try and scare you but get nothings. They sell the debt over and over to other companies that package debt. Maybe your not aware of this. So as far as me missing the point I don't think so but I will be kinder than you. So where I have been for 50 years? learning bringing companies public and being part of groups that bring companies public and also being a founder of 3 public companies and making lots of dough. I get up and trade everyday. I think that you need a attitude ajustment. I am doing some reserch with real people who work in chase.

Expand full comment

I am quite aware of what you are saying but you miss the point. Banks can and do take money and work with government agencies/courts to do this. The question was what legal paths exist for the government gaining access to your finances. They do this all the time to individuals like Mercola, the Canadian truckers who are individuals and to countries as the US has done to Venezuela, Afghanicstan and others. As for your business 'credentials' being tossed as a weapon, they do not deal with the subject but only serve to assert some alleged authority which really tells me nothing but your sense of privilege and the class based realities that limit your understanding of this country and its machinations. You have yet to address the real question at hand.

This is why we must investigate this. We do not know the backstory. And the story line being reported is that this was Mercola's business account + personal accounts of two executives + their children. This could be related to alleged financial crime. What I do know about Mercola is that there are always a lot of lawyers involved. He is the name and face of a large organization -- large enough to have a CEO and CFO. We must know the details here.

I'm posting a relevant comment by Skip, in the comments thread of AMD'S Substack:

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.
