August 18, 2023, I joined Mike Adams, aka, “The Health Ranger,” on his free-speech platform, Brighteon, to discuss our debanking by JP Morgan Chase Bank.
As previously reported, in mid-July, I, along with my CEO and CFO — both of whom have been with me for nearly 20 years — received identical letters informing us that Chase Bank was closing our accounts, as well as the accounts of their spouses and children.
Irrational Excuses
In the original letters, the only reason we were given was that there was “unexpected activity” on an unspecified account. Later, a representative told reporters that account closures are typically only done for anti-money laundering purposes.1,2
However, no money laundering charges have ever leveled against me, and in a real money laundering case, they seize your accounts outright. They don’t give you a month to take your business elsewhere.
Then, in response to a letter by Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis, in which he questioned the bank’s decision to close our accounts, a Chase spokesman replied that the accounts were closed because:3
“… the customer has been the subject of regulatory scrutiny by the Federal government on multiple occasions for engaging in illegal activity relating to the marketing and sale of consumer products and we have a legal obligation to prevent funds derived from these activities from flowing through our bank.”
The last “federal scrutiny” of our business was 2.5 years ago in 2021,4 when the Food and Drug Administration sent us a warning letter accusing us of selling vitamins C, D, quercetin and Pterostilbene Advanced to “mitigate, prevent, treat, diagnose or cure COVID-19 in people,” in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
However, a warning letter is not proof of illegal activity. It’s an accusation. We responded to the FDA’s letter, letting them know their accusations were baseless, and that was the end of that. We had not violated the law.
If Chase insists it has a “legal obligation” to debank me, my employees and their families, over an old FDA warning letter — which had no legal basis and never led to criminal charges — then Chase Bank would also be legally obligated to debank its own executives and employees who intentionally benefited from sex trafficking5,6,7 and defrauded investors with illegal investment schemes.8 Why haven’t they?
Hidden Social Credit System in Action
While many have been debanked over the past couple of years, what’s particularly egregious about this action is that it was not only directed at me, but my employees and their families as well.
This is one of the primary characteristics of the Chinese social credit system, where people are punished for their associations. It’s the weaponization of finance for the purpose of social control, which simply doesn’t happen in a free society.
In that respect, the actions by Chase Bank indicate we’re in a whole new phase of the globalists’ social engineering project. It’s also a foretaste of how the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) will be used to control the masses.
Chase Bank Is Part of Government Censorship Committee
Interestingly, we recently discovered that Chase Bank is the only bank represented on the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Cybersecurity Advisory Committee,9 which may explain why Chase targeted my business. This advisory committee provides “strategic and actionable recommendations” to the CISA director on “cybersecurity issues.”
A Chase representative was present during a March 1, 2022, Cybersecurity Advisory Committee Protecting Critical Infrastructure from Misinformation & Disinformation Subcommittee meeting,10,11 in which Laura Dehmlow, section chief for the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), warned that “subversive information” on social media could undermine public support for the U.S. government, and that “media infrastructure” needed to be held accountable.
The committee members went on to discuss what the government’s strategic approach related to misinformation and disinformation ought to be, how best to organize information sharing between the public and private sector, and how to collaborate across channels.
We now know that a formalized process was implemented that allowed government officials to log into a special portal where they could flag social media content for removal.12
Ask yourself, why was a major bank included in a meeting in which they were trying to tease out the best way for government to censor Americans? With everything we now know about CISA’s domestic censorship activities, it seems reasonable to suspect that the weaponization of finance — debanking “domestic threat actors” — was part of the original strategy.
So, did CISA have a hand in the bank’s decision to close my business accounts, and those of key employees and their families? We have no evidence of this yet, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
Florida Attorney General Is on the Case
In May 2023, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation that specifically prohibits financial institutions from denying or canceling services based on political or religious beliefs,13 so, we may end up being the test case for this new legislation. We’re currently working with the Florida state attorney general.
Unfortunately, I misspoke during the interview, saying the attorney general’s office is filing a suit against Chase. However, we’re not quite there yet. I’ve been told it’s still too early to tell whether charges will be filed.
The Second Burning of the Library of Alexandria
I launched my website in 1997. Google didn’t even exist yet. And for years, all the way up to about 2015 or so, the internet remained uncensored. You could find information about anything you could think of.
What’s happening to the internet now is reminiscent of the burning of the library of Alexandria, the storehouse of the world’s most important and precious information. For background, the library of ancient Alexandria in Egypt, was once known as the “greatest accumulation of human knowledge in history.”14 Historical sources report there may have been as many as 400,000 papyrus scrolls recording ancient works and knowledge, including 200,000 that Marc Antony gave to Cleopatra.
Inexplicably, like their 21st century cousins, the world citizens of yesterday apparently didn’t appreciate this wide body of knowledge and, over the centuries they burned the library numerous times until, today, practically none of the library still exists, after a purging reportedly done to erase anything that disagreed with The Koran occurred.
Now, the modern world’s library, Google, has essentially burned itself down by programming its search algorithms such that you cannot find anything but officially sanctioned information, unless you know the URL of what you’re looking for. If you rely on any search engines your search results will typically be limited to less than 100 links you can click on even though there may be tens or hundreds of millions of results.
In the U.S., 81.37% of all desktop searches are done on Google.15 Worldwide, its market share for search is 85.53%.16 Its monopoly on searches gives Google enormous influence over what people can see and learn about, which is incredibly dangerous. Google, all by itself, can easily mislead and “de-educate” the global population for generations to come.
However, since nearly every search engine uses Google data, the indirect control they have is likely closer to 95%.
Eventually, I suspect artificial intelligence will take over online searches, at which point there will only be one answer for any given question. Needless to say, that will be even more dangerous. We can already see that AI systems are being fed a steady diet of pro-pharma propaganda and nothing else, and that will become the dominant knowledge base for humanity from here on.
So, we’re at a point now where we must work to preserve life-saving information, and figure out a way to distribute it in a way that cannot be censored. Fortunately, decentralized alternatives are coming online, such as Qortal,17 Bastyon18 and Nostr.19 Adams is also working on turning Brighteon into a completely decentralized, peer-to-peer platform that will be impossible to censor or shut down.
Coming Soon: A Master Health Course
I’m currently working on a video course on health and nutrition that people will be able to download to their personal hard drives, so that this information doesn’t get extinguished. If need be, they can then put it on a thumb drive and hand it out to friends and family, so they have the information they need to thrive as well.
There are many inexpensive, basic strategies that can radically improve your health, quality of life and longevity, and these are the very things the globalists, technocrats and transhumanists are now trying to erase from the database of knowledge accumulated on the internet.
I mean, they’re literally in the process of erasing basic health advances that have been well-recognized and understood for decades (if not hundreds or even thousands of years), such as the fact that you have an immune system, and that certain nutrients are necessary for, and will improve, your immune function.
I hope to end up with about 50 modules, each module being a one- to two-hour video. In its totality, the course will be a compilation of my life’s work. I want to give people a library of health strategies that they can go back to again and again, even after I’m gone, and even if the internet is taken down.
The course will be released on Substack to subscribers, who will have the opportunity to ask questions, and if needed, I’ll release follow-up videos. The great thing about releasing this information in the form of video modules rather than a book is that, if new information becomes available, I can simply record an update. You can’t go back and change what you put in a book.
The Substack subscription is $ 5 a month, or $ 50 a year, so it’s very affordable. Substack proceeds are used to support a nonprofit dedicated to improving crisis resilience. I do not have a title for this course yet, but I’ll share more information about it as it gets closer to completion.
Prepare for the Inevitable
I’m convinced COVID-19 was just a test run. Something far worse than COVID is being planned for us, so we must prepare, to the best of our ability. Addressing any health problems you may have and maintaining good health is part of that preparation. Being healthy will make you more resilient in the face of just about any difficulty, and there’s no telling what the globalist cabal will cook up next.
It could be another bioweapon, electrical grid failures, food shortages, a financial collapse, a cyberattack on critical infrastructure or a fabricated alien invasion.
Critical data collection on messaging and public responses took place during the COVID pandemic, so now they have the technological capability to identify the triggers that will maximize fear and give them the greatest degree of control. I suspect the next crisis will be far worse for that fact alone.
Whatever crisis gets rolled out, we now know that it will be used to push tyranny, because global slavery is the ultimate goal. They want complete control over every human being on earth, from cradle to grave — what you eat, what you do and think, what you buy, how and where you live, and for how long.
Another crucial preparation strategy is to build a community where you can share knowledge. Everyone has different skill sets, and we need to learn to work together locally and help each other.
Lone wolves are not likely to survive the multitude of crises headed our way. City dwellers will also face much greater difficulty, as there are so few natural resources there. So, if you can, get out of the cities.
George Orwell’s Final Warning
In closing, we’d do well to heed George Orwell’s sober advice. Before his death in 1950, at the age of 47, he told a reporter that “something like ‘1984’ could happen,” because “this is the direction the world is going in at the present time.”
Indeed, we’re still heading in that same direction today, 73 years later. Orwell went on to read an excerpt from his book, “1984,” followed by a final warning to future generations:
“’In our world, there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph and self-abasement. The sex instinct will be eradicated. We shall abolish the orgasm. There will be no loyalty except loyalty to the party.
But always, there will be the intoxication of power. Always, in every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever.’
The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: Don’t let it happen. It depends on you.”
