Chase shuts down personal bank account of proud outspoken Trump supporter. A jolting wake up call.
My political views pretty much mirror those of President Donald Trump, but the media, and groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, smear me trying to tie me, an Afro-Cuban, to ideologies that would force me out of my own country if they went into effect,” he said. “It’s completely asinine and based completely outside of reality,” he added in exasperation. And yet the tactic has worked like a charm because of the size of the media’s bullhorn. The way it works is that the radically...

S E E D E D   C O N T E N T


Fascism always originates with the left .

A black Cuban man who proudly supports President Donald Trump has been deplatformed from the Internet and had his bank account shuttered because of his links to the Proud Boys.

According to America’s lying, disingenuous and politically biased mainstream media , the Proud Boys is a far-right, neo-fascist, white supremacist group that aims to “Make America White Again.”

Never mind that the Proud Boys is, in fact, a pro-free-speech, pro-liberty fraternity compromised of a bevy of minorities such as Enrique Tarrio, who was raised in a Cuban family in Miami’s Little Havana. And never mind that the ones actually practicing fascism are the ones who hate him.

Because the Democrat Party’s corrupt allies in the radically far-left , anti-Christian and anti-American Southern Poverty Law Center have deemed the Pate Boys to be a hate group, it must therefore be a hate group, according to the media, which too are allies of the far-left.

Speaking with BigLeague Politics, the nascent media entity responsible for unearthing Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam’s blackface photos , Tarrio revealed this weekend that Chase Bank has informed him it’ll be shuttering his account on Apr. 1. Why? No reason was specified.

Similarly, no legitimate reason was specified when Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Airbnb, FirstData, Square, Stripe and PayPal banned him from their platforms.

Chase Bank’s payment processor, Chase Paymentech, has likewise reportedly stopped processing sales at his website, 1776.shop, which reportedly allows groups and charities to raise money for their various causes by selling merchandise such as this:

(He’s reportedly good friends with Roger Stone .)

Not that Tarrio doesn’t already know the real reason for these bans …

“My political views pretty much mirror those of President Donald Trump, but the media, and groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center, smear me trying to tie me, an Afro-Cuban, to ideologies that would force me out of my own country if they went into effect,” he said.

“It’s completely asinine and based completely outside of reality,” he added in exasperation.

And yet the tactic has worked like a charm because of the size of the media’s bullhorn. The way it works is that the radically far-left SPLC first designates a group that Democrats dislike a “hate group.” Then the media knowingly use their bullhorn to spread the smear .

In the case of the Proud Boys, the media’s campaign has even hit Wikipedia, which falsely describes the group as a “far-right neo-fascist organization” and claims that the group’s “members often participate in racist rallies, events, and organizations.”

Who are Wikipedia’s sources? The mainstream media, of course, including The Guardian , Vox , HuffPost , The Daily Beast , ThinkProgress and other dangerous far-left outlets.

Thanks to the hit job performed on Tarrio, he’s not even sure how he’ll feed his family anymore.

“How am I supposed to get food to feed my family? Are [they] taking the directions of the Governor of Virginia and trying to abort me 34 years after birth. They are essentially denying my existence, and trying to force me into homelessness, and ultimately death,” he said.

And by “they” he meant the entire left, from the SPLC to the media and, finally, to the barely regulated corporate behemoths who essentially run all of society and have made it clear their interests align closely with those of the increasingly radical Democrat Party.

Tarrio warned that unless the president steps in, this trend will continue.

“He needs to step in, not only because if he doesn’t he will lose in 2020 with all of his supporters being kicked off social media, but because it’s the right thing to do,” he concluded.

Since the president’s election in 2016, which as a reminder devastated liberals to the point that many still suffer from so-called “Trump Anxiety Disorder,” an untold number of conservatives have been censored , deplatformed , discriminated against , harassed and assaulted  nonstop.

While it’s unclear what all Trump could to stop these evil actions — particularly the fascist-like censoring and deplatforming of conservative voices — what’s clear to social media users is that something, anything needs to be done, preferably pronto.

Look:













Chase Bank is now shutting down bank accounts of Trump supporters.

This needs to stop. https:// bigleaguepolitics.com/chase-bank-shu ts-down-proud-boys-leaders-personal-bank-account/

I also didn't hear of any same-sex customers who were refused service whining and crying that not getting a wedding cake was going to be the same as aborting them in adulthood, either.  Furthermore, all we have as to a reason for this guy's account being closed is his speculation about it.  I think, given the fact that he's accusing them of trying to abort him, it's safe to say he's not credible.

Well there's the source everyone loves to trash, Wikipedia.

The Proud Boys is a far-right neo-fascist [8] organization that admits only men as members and promotes political violence. [2] [9] [10] [11] The group takes its name from the song "Proud of Your Boy", written for the Disney film Aladdin . [12] [13] The group was started in 2016 by Vice Media co-founder and former commentator Gavin McInnes. Proud Boys emerged as part of the alt-right, but in early 2017, McInnes began distancing himself from the alt-right, saying the alt-right's focus is race while his focus is what he defines as "Western values". This re-branding effort intensified after the Unite the Right Rally

Then there's the Proud Boys themselves claiming love, chauvinism and defending Western culture.  Great picture of 50 or so young white men. ( But we're not racists)

Then there's our very special favorite, the SPLC.

Their disavowals of bigotry are belied by their actions: rank-and-file Proud Boys and leaders regularly spout white nationalist memes and maintain affiliations with known extremists. They are known for anti-Muslim and misogynistic rhetoric. Proud Boys have appeared alongside other hate groups at extremist gatherings like the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville. Indeed, former Proud Boys member Jason Kessler helped to organize the event, which brought together Klansmen, antisemites, Southern racists, and militias. Kessler was only “expelled” from the group after the violence and near-universal condemnation of the Charlottesville rally-goers.

Other hardcore members of the so-called "alt-right" have argued that the “western chauvinist” label is just a “PR cuck term” McInnes crafted to gain mainstream acceptance. “Let’s not bullshit,” Brian Brathovd, aka Caeralus Rex, told his co-hosts on the antisemitic The Daily Shoah — one of the most popular alt-right podcasts. If the Proud Boys “were pressed on the issue, I guarantee you that like 90% of them would tell you something along the lines of ‘Hitler was right. Gas the Jews.’”

The FbI announced that The Proud Boys is an extremist white national organization on February 12, 2019  per the Daily Caller?

Far right group the Proud Boys has been labeled an extremist organization by the FBI.  

The FBI's designation appeared in an internal affairs report by Washington State Police posted on Monday in regards to a fired employee who was linked to the controversial group.

Although the document wasn't published to explicitly classify the group, it marked the first time the group has been publicly labeled as an 'extremist group with ties to white nationalism'. 

After stating in December of 2018 that they were not?

A high-ranking FBI agent told reporters that the Western-chauvinist group Proud Boys, which has made headlines for its part in violent clashes in Portland, Ore., and New York , is not considered an extremist group, contradicting a report from a Washington state sheriff’s office that circulated in November . https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2018/12/08/fbi-says-proud-boys-are-not-an-extremist-group-after-all/?utm_term=.547f31ddfbb6

more bad news about the "fraternity" from The Guardian...

Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes quits 'extremist' far-right group

Move comes after the Guardian exclusively revealed that the FBI had categorized group ‘with ties to white nationalism’

How about The Daily Beast?

It seems highly unlikely that Chase is persecuting this guy for political reasons.  Banking is a highly regulated business.  They're not going to risk regulatory action over a political statement.

Otherwise they would have assigned a $10 daily "irritating shithead" fee to any OWS protester entering a branch.

Several businesses have set themselves up for legal repercussions due to their use of the SPLC hate groups own hate designations.  The groups being targeted by the actions of businesses following that gangs designation are suing both the SPLC and the businesses harmed, defamed or libeled by the SPLC and secondarily those businesses that use their ratings in the practice of their business.  One by one the defamed groups are taking on this issue and our goal is to financially destroy all persons and businesses that continue to use the SPLC list and the SPLC for generating it in the same way that they are trying to destroy Alliance Defending Freedom and all the other of the victims of the SPLC.

Filiing a claim, whether they pay out or not, will be on your permanent record and will affect future claims, rates and your ability to switch insurance companies.

Thanks.  I’ll look into that.  Though in my case the City of Redding is the power company.  I just remember that during the Carr Fire here last summer the insurance companies were urging people who lost power in that event to claim the lost content of freezers and refrigerators.  Maybe the power company was reimbursing that as more than half affected were outside the city limits and on PG&E.  I will research carefully before acting.

I will research carefully before acting.

It would certainly be prudent.

Be careful of the insurance urging you to make a small claim. They can use it against the area to raise rates because of those small claims. 

You claim $500, your monthly premium goes up $40 .

And if your deductible is $500 or more, you get nothing.

Except higher premiums.

Though in my case the City of Redding is the power company.

Actually that may work in your favor.

I learned a long time ago with the hurricanes. 

I was living in Tampa and my best friend lives in St. Petersburgh. He has more cash on hand than I ever dreamed of owning...I paid out of pocket, he claimed. When the dust settled my insurance went up $400, his went up over $1700.

Ouch!  My entire annual premium for a $500.00 deductible homeowners policy with a rider for internal water damage due to appliances and plumbing and the basic earthquake insurance is about $650.00

Not sure what is allowwd as far as Cali insurance but after we got hit 3 times in one year the insurance co's threatened to pull out of Florida.

So along came a deal, they were allowed to jump the rate. To some extent the population understood the wailing the insurance took, in return Florida also said "You pull out now, you're out, period" a couple, including Allstate decided to test that water and ended up barred from writing policies for a good while.

It was also the dawn of the state's insurer of last resort state program. 

I know you're looking at the comparison of his/my rates and yours but there are some steep differences.

Well it’s just a total loss as the insurance deductible is too high and no claim will be filed.  As for the power company, nothing.  While the city and county declared a local emergency, the state and governor did not.  Not enough blue voters up here, I guess.  As to home owners insurance, outside the city in the foothills to the north, east, and west home owners insurance is like what you describe in Fla. and some companies won’t insure anything at any price in certain zip codes.

Although terms have changed here, like you have to have one of their surge boxes before Florida power will refund for losses but a Medium sized city I thought would have a plan if they are the supplier.
