Apparently the government via the banks is trying to stop businesses they do not like by shutting off their payment processors and bank accounts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Choke_PointThe following industries were on the list: Ammunition Sales Cable Box De-scramblers Coin Dealers Credit Card Schemes Credit Repair Services Dating Services Debt Consolidation Scams Drug Paraphernalia Escort Services Firearms Sales Fireworks Sales Get Rich Products Government Grants Home-Based Charities Life-Time Guarantees Life-Time Memberships Lottery Sales Mailing Lists/Personal Info Money Transfer Networks On-line Gambling Payday Loans Pharmaceutical Sales Ponzi Schemes Pornography Pyramid-Type Sales Racist Materials Surveillance Equipment Telemarketing Tobacco Sales Travel Clubs Any thoughts on a solution to these merchants getting cut off from the banking system?

The following industries were on the list: Ammunition Sales Cable Box De-scramblers Firearms Sales Mailing Lists/Personal Info Pharmaceutical Sales Surveillance Equipment Tobacco Sales
kind of odd, as the short list i just shown in the quote are ways that government make money via their privatized partners, of which i think about 90% of government employee's have a vested interest in keeping in operation.

Where did you get this news from? Source? Link? Don't see banks being too happy about voluntarily freezing/closing such accounts. Some of those industries are pretty large. Any thoughts on a solution to these merchants getting cut off from the banking system? Hmm. Dunno. Is RonPaulCoin still around?

"operation" meaning extra legal measures that control freak bureaucracies try to do... read the wiki article. the operation was even criticized by politicians and had counter measures taken against it. they agreed banks should not be used to control business...so settle down, stop freaking out.

Operation Chokepoint has been going on forever. It has seriously hurt the payday lending industry. It has made opening up a business bank account very hard for anyone engaged in any type of financial service even if it's totally legal. It has affected many people I know.
