1. I would not be inclined to let Wells Fargo off the hook so easily, but I do agree it’s a move in the right direction for the corporation to cease politically motivated actions. Sadly, it’s likely only optically motivated, as their previous ‘ban’ was as well.

   I too had read that article about the FBI…. Sad testament to what the goobermint has become. Petty thieves.

   1. When Wells “acquired” Wachovia (https://www.wellsfargoadvisors.com/), they failed to clean house of executives from Wachovia (like the Catholic Church doing “re-assignment” of Priests who should have been charged criminally to avoid bad publicity) who were facilitating billions of Dollars in drug cartel money laundering at the insolvent & corrupt institution. I believe that Wells experienced significant departure of high-integrity employees during this time resulting in a cultural takeover of Wells by the criminals.

2. Don’t be fooled. Wells Fargo does not change it’s stripes so quickly, or easily. After all the abuses they’ve committed, they can easily afford a little PR campaign to woo the suspicious and apprehensive back into complacent acquiesence. But make no mistake, those who were in charge when all the SHTF and they were called out are still running the show, and the only thing they are or ever will be concerned about is the bottom line; their bottom line. If you think any one of these big bank orgs has anyone but their own best interests at heart in any decision they make or action they take, you best take heed. Do not fall into their trap. Keep you business local (credit unions that you can vet are still fairly common), and keep your business with the big boys to an absolute minimum.

3. RE: your lead.
   I was sitting in an adult Sunday school class about 2 years ago. The leader, a former pastor, made the statement that no Christian should ever take up arms against anyone. Huh? I reminded him that if Charles the Hammer (Martel) had not united the southern part of France, we would all be speaking Farsi and wearing burkas.
   We should honor Martel in all American Christian churches.

   1. “no Christian should ever take up arms against anyone”

      sure. “do not resist him who is evil” and all that.

4. “The bank officially states that gun policy should be made by legislatures, not financial institutions. ”

   While I’m glad they are bucking the trend and funding firearms manufacturers, I disagree with that statement. Whether it is guns, medicine, religion, etc, the legislators shouldn’t be messing with it. Private companies should be deciding for themselves things to fund or support instead of government deciding for all of us.

5. Even though WF holds my mortgage, I’m still not going to open a WF account, due to their penchant for opening fraud accounts in customers’ names.

   1. More than just opening accounts and their customers names. They also would hold up deposits, even though it would show that the deposit was there, just so they could pull in overdraft fees for no reason other than greed. I had multiple accounts there for several years and got tired of their continual BS and dropped them. I’ll never use Wells Fargo again. I am glad they’re working with Ruger but I despise that company.

6. Illinois bankruptcy, The article is by a bankster that has not done any basic research only spews back false narrative from another bankster. Yes, Illinois and Chicago are bankrupt and the pension fraud is truly staggering(one day of work for a full pension,pensions for 2x-3x salary,no disqualification for criminal action on the job(torture,perjury,grand theft,murder,falsifying documents),these pensions are protected by the State Constitution and cannot be “reduced” at least without a amendment to the Constitution. This has been tested in the courts a held and may not be review able by Federal Courts. The falacy of Chapter9 bankruptcy has been floated before and is prevented by the 10th Amendment,a territory like PR could use such a device. The real answer is a starve the beast approach(require local gov. to fully fund it’s obligations(massive layoffs,outlay cuts,salary cuts),real fraud and waste reform,dropping revenues from population loss,and prosecution of pension fraud. This can be a lesson to others on the same road.

7. This is my favorite section because it affords me news that I would not think about looking up. In fact your site is really the best. I thank you for it.

8. Hurricane Michael,

   On Saturday, my phone and Internet service got cut by accident. Monday morning at work, I found out about the storm and business/school closures. At lunch time I went to the ATM, too late, all the cash was gone. After work, I went to the fuel station, too late, some were sold out, others had long lines. Same for the grocery stores. When I got home, the phone and internet service had been restored.

   I really didn’t need any cash, fuel, or groceries, because I had already stocked up and prepared. I was just trying to top everything off. However, the loss of communications could have really set me back. Watching everybody else panic was not encouraging, kind of like the first few chapters of “Alas Babylon”

   No damage to the house or vehicle, lots of debris and limbs down, power out for many folks, including me. JWR recommended a Yamaha generator, portable battery, and inverter, many years ago and they come in handy during times like this.

   It is amazing how far trees can bend over in the wind without breaking…

9. The west side of the storm was certainly the place to be as Michael traveled inland across Georgia. Luckily it downgraded quickly as it hit Georgia. At one point I was only 75 miles northwest of the eye and I never really saw the winds like I did with Opal in 1995. There were some power outages, but not wide spread. I personally never lost power. I saw a few trees down, but really nothing to speak of. I’m a little more worried about my main retreat as it was only 30 miles northeast of the eye as it passed. I contacted a friend that was only about 15 miles to the west of the storm center as it passed. He is fine with only one tree down across the fence. His daughter that is from Panama City, FL was with him and she found out this morning that she has lost everything to the storm. She has insurance so hopefully things will work out for her. The good thing is that she had a place to bug out to even though Michael seemed to follow her all the way there. Mexico Beach to the southeast of Panama City was devastated. Please keep the residents that suffered from this storm in your prayers. C.V.

10. Most important part of the Google internal doc: it was 85 PAGES LONG, with the title, “The Good Censor.” And it includes some really juicy, admissible-in-a-court-of-law, quotes showing how they were actively and knowingly using “control” to choose what can and should be viewed, and that they understand they are the main communications platform for people today. Can’t wait to see the Supremes rip into this one …
