Washington, DC Is Enforcing Its Cashless Business Ban! About Damn Time!

If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times, those of us with some damn sense need to beat back against the lunatics who are all FOR a cashless society as that would be the very definition of madness, insanity, what with all the hacking that’s going on all over the damn place. But thankfully, some sense prevails, at least in some parts of the country in that some government officials are quite aware that poor, Black people and elderly people rely on cash and will always do so.

D.C. Is Now Enforcing Its Cashless Business Ban: What That Could Mean for You

Vibrant sunrise over the National Mall in Washington DC

Last month, Washington, D.C., became the latest municipality in which most consumer-facing businesses must accept cash as payment.

The law, which went into effect October 1, 2023, represents a growing backlash by cities across the country against businesses that want to accept noncash payments only, such as credit card and digital payments. Philadelphia and New York City have similar rules in place, and Los Angeles is considering a similar measure.

Are Cashless Businesses Discriminatory?

Advocates of such bans claim that cashless businesses discriminate against unbanked and underbanked consumers, which tend to be low-income and minority populations.

“I support the bans on cashless businesses,” says Felix Shipkevich, a New York-based payments attorney. “I think it’s ridiculous that we, as a society, would even have to think about legislation that would require businesses to accept legal tender, which is accepted by our government for payment of taxes, of all debts, and for goods and services.”

Yes indeed, cashless businesses are discriminatory because whites are mostly for that shit, as well as the Asians and those Hindu cow worshipers. I was walking past a food court in one of our malls just the other day and saw a big ass sign at Panda Express stating, “No cash accepted.” Funny how no one was standing in line at Panda Express. 

If a business refuses to accept cash, which has long since been established for ALL debts, both public and private, then they don’t deserve my damn business and as far as I am concerned, good riddance to bad rubbish. No business on this earth is going to tell me how to pay them, I’ll decide that. And though I have written on this subject before, it is incumbent upon me to do so yet again. 

Have any of you read the headlines lately, what with severe hacking going on, left and right and the fact that since we have an antiquated power grid that has had no improvements since it was thrown up, then the chances of a major calamity befalling us thanks to that problem is highly likely. What then are you going to do as it pertains to transactions; purchasing and paying for shit when your smartphone and Zelle, Google Pay, Apple Pay and PayPal and whatever else is down? And the ATM is not working because the electricity is out? You’d better keep some damn cash on hand because many of you are stupid if you think that digital is the way to go when this fucking country has not kept up with the infrastructure to usher in a digital age.

CNN — 

ransomware attack on a US unit of the powerful Industrial and Commercial Bank of China that may have contributed to a brief market sell-off on Thursday was a significant escalation for cybercriminals that underscored how big hacks can disrupt business for even the best-resourced companies, experts told CNN.

The incident immediately sparked concern among regulators and senior US and Chinese officials. It led to a flurry of behind-the-scenes coordination with the affected bank and across the financial sector about the threat.

And if the above isn’t bad enough, check this out!

Ransomware attack prompts multistate hospital chain to divert some emergency room patients elsewhere

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A ransomware attack has prompted a health care chain that operates 30 hospitals in six states to divert patients from at least some of its emergency rooms to other hospitals, while putting certain elective procedures on pause, the company announced.

In a statement Monday, Ardent Health Services said the attack occurred Nov. 23 and the company took its network offline, suspending user access to its information technology applications, including the software used to document patient care.

But yet, millennials and Gen Z want to go cashless since that is all they know. But thanks to the fact that there are older people who refuse to go in for this cashless nonsense, we are the last of the dinosaurs; the holdouts, not to mention, poor folks, Black people making up the majority, which means that businesses that refuse to accept cash payments are, indeed, discriminating against us.

I have said it over and over again that the shits that are running this shithole are stupid and dumb as hell since why would you screech, “Let’s go into a completely DIGITAL world,” when you know your infrastructure is raggedy as hell and that people are going to lose access to their money? It is all being planned so that we do lose access to our money and become even more dependent on those idiots who pretend to be in charge, so long as we allow them to be.

It is a sad ass shame that those of us who are underneath the economic totem pole are the ones who are going to save all asses on deck, and it is my contention that those asses should not be saved since they are dumb as hell to fall for the shit that the behind-the-scenes puppet masters are trying to put into play to fuck us all up.

Poor Black people have long since been the ones who have stopped rabid fuckery by the wealthy whites, in their tracks and we will continue to get the shit done because what y’all fuckers are up to makes no damn sense at all, but y’all are the ones who call us crazy when you don’t even have common sense. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that it would not be a good idea to initiate a cashless society when everyone and his business is getting hacked with ransomware attacks, viruses are loaded down in entire computer systems and yet banks are always touting, “online banking.” Why? So that your shit can get fucked up and they relieve you of even more of your money, especially those of us who are poor Black folks. That has always been their game plan, but we have fought back against that, and we shall prevail. The collapsing power grid will assist us in the destruction of that shit.

And don’t even get me started on the weather. When half an inch of snow can cause a massive pileup on a highway in Atlanta Georgia, like what happened a few years ago, and in Texas, they are having rolling blackouts due to their power grid issues when the weather gets cold, do you really think that it is a good idea to go completely digital with no backup plan in place? A backup plan was always in place, it’s called CASH! Fucking use it already and ditch this digital nonsense before it is too late!!!

The Lies Have Already Started!

Now, I just strolled through a Target store on Black Friday because I knew the lies were coming as to what would occur on THIS Black Friday as opposed to previous Black Fridays.

Black Friday Spending Was Strong. How People Pay for Gifts Is Upending Retailers.

Black Friday Spending Was Strong. How People Pay for Gifts Is Upending Retailers.

So far there are signs that U.S. shoppers are shelling out cash on gifts and other items. More shoppers visited stores and online spending grew on Black Friday this year compared with last year, according to third-party analytics firms.

U.S. retail sales on Black Friday rose 2.5% from last year, according to Mastercard SpendingPulse, which measures sales in stores and online. The result was helped by gains in sales of jewelry and apparel as well as spending on sporting events and at restaurants.

Now, like I have already stated, I was in a Target store on Black Friday because, AGAIN, I knew that the lying media would try and get us to believe that Black Friday was a boom as opposed to a bust and I was right, the problem is, even the lamestream media is contradicting itself. Check out the next headline from the lamestream media.

Black Friday in the U.S. is gloomy, consumers don’t open their wallets…”I need to discount more”.

Black Friday in the U.S. is gloomy, consumers don’t open their wallets…”I need to discount more”.

The above picture is to try and showcase that there was a crowd trying to get into a Macy’s when in reality, that is a protest right outside of Macy’s. There was no shopping going on up in that Macy’s. Below, you will find an excerpt from the article accompanying this picture.

Despite being the biggest shopping day in the U.S., Black Friday, consumers have become more discerning, opening their wallets less than before, according to recent analysis.

According to Bloomberg and Reuters on the 24th (local time), it is expected that retailers’ performance will be weaker than the last two years following the COVID-19 pandemic, as more consumers are waiting for bigger discounts during this year’s Black Friday in the U.S.

So, which is it? Black Friday spending was strong or Black Friday spending was gloomy? Because the lamestream lying media cannot seem to make up its mind, but no worries, that is why I was out and about on Black Friday and showcased just what went on in a local Target store.

Does this look like boom or bust?

 

Does this look like boom or bust?

No one was even fighting over toaster ovens, blenders, mixers; none of that! There was no one to be found even needing assistance in any aisle.

 

Does this look like boom or bust?

No one was breaking their neck to try and purchase a supposed sale on crockpots for $99 to do what with? Cook leaves? Folks were at the food pantry on Black Friday or living in a homeless encampment, but they sure as hell weren’t out shopping until they dropped. That should be crystal clear from these photos.

 

Does this look like boom or bust?

Folks weren’t shopping in this section, not for underwear, not for tops, pjs or anything else.

 

Does this look like boom or bust?

Empty! Completely and utterly, empty.

Boom or bust?

Clear aisle all the way through and in the other aisle, one person. But one lamestream media article insists that this was a ‘BOOM’ Black Friday. Wishful thinking, much? Flat out lying, much?

 

Boom or bust?

Two ‘shoppers’ down this aisle. Does that constitute boom or bust?

Boom or bust?

The children’s clothing section and there were no mothers shopping for clothing for their children. Not to mention, if you walk straight ahead, you’ll come to the checkout and even that area was empty.

Despite one headline claiming that this Black Friday was booming due to outrageous spending, we can all see that that was a lie. I also perused videos on Youtube and not a one was showcasing that Black Friday was booming; quite the contrary. So, for the other lamestream media to claim that this Black Friday was a bust, that would at least be a step in the right direction since this Black Friday, was indeed, a bust.

Folks, the above pictures are not even the same ones in my previous blog. And those also showcase that this Black Friday was a bust. No one has any damn money and so corporations are screwing themselves when they decide that to further enrich their coffers, they are going to get even more greedier and demand that people pay more for housing and essentials and then tell blatant lies that folks still have money to afford some frivolous shopping spree on Black Friday when the above pictures prove that to be a lie.

You have got to check out this video to get some idea of the fact that we are up against unhinged lunatics who parrot what they are told and the fact that the shit they spew is FAKE news!

 

This mess is crazy folks! Do your own research. Come to your own conclusions. Don’t just listen to this shit and take them at face value when they are nothing more than a pack of paid, vicious, lying deceitful corporate pimps.

This next video showcases that as well.

This is why Trump kept shouting, “You’re ALL fake news!” It was because they are!

 

I would say, “Unbelievable,” but it is ALL too believable!

The Folks In Favor Of A World Of Digital Currency, Take A Hit

As far as I am concerned, cash will always be KING. Now, correct me if I am wrong, but it is better to have something that I can hold in my hand that can be readily used to purchase items as opposed to some fake ass shit that’s not even available due to glitches. 

No one has yet been able to convince me that digital currency is better than having actual currency in hand. If having actual greenbacks were good enough for my grandparents and their parents, then it’s good enough for me and they will have to drag me, kicking and screaming into a cashless society. I have covered this before here and it would seem that I am destined to cover it again.

Fed’s technical glitch creates payment woes for Americans

Fed’s technical glitch creates payment woes for Americans

A technological fumble at the Federal Reserve has led to a widespread disturbance in payment processes, leaving many Americans stranded without critical funds.

The Fed’s Automated Clearing House (ACH), the central hub for electronic money transfers, encountered a “processing issue” that brought transactions to a standstill.

This malfunction impeded some of the nation’s largest financial institutions from disbursing deposits, including the paychecks many depend on to manage their living expenses.

It seems that many big banks could not make deposits into their customers’ accounts, which left many with an inability to meet their financial obligations. Many had some explaining to do to landlords, utility companies, the grocery store, the babysitter; the whole nine yards.

My question is, why are we told that we are being herded into a digital currency world when glitches are happening even now as well as hackers holding entire companies, hostage unless their demands are met and of course, those demands are for money. So, folks Social Security checks are going to be at the dubious ‘mercy’ of some computer glitch prone system or some hacker with an agenda and folks are fine with that until they’re not due to an issue occurring. Yeah, it’s all good until it’s not. Then shit hits the fan with the moaning and crying about where is my money? Well, take your money out of those banks the minute it is deposited into the banks. Keep a stash for when issues such as this arise.

I would no more keep every single cent in a bank account than I would stick my arm into a cage filled with rattlesnakes. And for those who say, what about folks who live paycheck to paycheck? I say the same, cut back on expenses as much as possible. Only purchase what you can pay for with cash on hand. Never use credit cards, not even as a backup plan. We need to put our foot down and resist being dragged into a cashless society because you will regret that shit! I promise you!

Those of you who were born in recent times, have no memory of what life was like before the advent of this so-called, ‘new technology’ that folks claim has made our lives so much easier. That is a bold-faced lie! Our lives were much less complicated when we did not have all of this stupid, useless shit that when there is a glitch, all hell breaks loose and add to the equation that our money can also be held hostage and that is a serious recipe for disaster. 

The powers that be want you so dependent on them, they will lie to you and tell you that it is in your best interest to believe their lies in that what they have planned will make life so much better when the opposite is true. Having a centralized digital currency does no one any good besides those who implement this because that way, they can control every aspect of our lives, which they are hell bent on doing. Why make their job easier for them by acquiescing to everything they drop down the pike? You’d best think this mess through and realize that it is not in your best interest to hand your lives over to unhinged lunatics who have proven themselves to be bat shit nuts. Look at the state of this world, if that doesn’t tell you something, then I don’t know what will. Does this mess seem easier to you? Is your life all the better for having this ‘technology’ that has just caused you to have to explain your late payment to your landlord, to explain your late payment to your babysitter, to explain at the checkout at the grocery store that your money should be in your account, to explain to the utility company, the same?

Yeah, it seems great to be able to point your smartphone to a card reading machine and out the door you go, that is until your damn money hasn’t been loaded on the thing and you can point until you turn blue, but your shit is not loaded on your phone or that card. But if you had cash in hand, you’d not have that worry. And if a store refuses to accept cash, then refuse to do business with them until they change their minds. No one is going to tell me how to pay them, I decide that.

And if I have to string together some damn leaves to make a skirt and tube top, so be it. But then, I’m no shopping fool. And I do realize that some of you who know my story of having just crawled in from being homeless for months on end, would say that I am in no position to talk about anything, money related. The truth of the matter is I am most definitely in a position to speak on it because I did not get put out for non-payment of rent, I got put out for no reason. For some unknown reason, I received a notice to vacate even though I had lived in the apartment for FIVE YEARS and had paid my rent, early and still received a notice to vacate. At the time, I did have a savings, but I had to use that to sit up in hotels while looking for a place to live and with rents skyrocketing and a whole other person that I had to house due to having his POA (Power of Attorney) because he crazy, it took me longer to get housed. I would have been housed sooner if not for the fact that I had to look out for someone else because when I finished getting his crazy ass housed, it only took me a month and a couple of days before I was housed.

Again, my point is this, people like me, who actually save their money as opposed to spending it on the latest gadget to come down the pike, are the ones who have a bit put aside for when crazy shit happens, and crazy shit is happening all over the place. Try your best to save a bit even as you pay these outrageous amounts on rent/mortgage, electricity, food, daycare, etc. I know it’s hard, I’m most definitely NOT rich, but don’t keep all your duckies in one place and most definitely do NOT keep every cent you have in a bank, you will regret it. And what you also will regret is if you allow those who are hell bent on dragging you into a cashless society, to get away with that shit. This needs to be stopped in its tracks. I cannot stress that enough!

 

Say It Ain’t So! Black Folks Caught Up In PPP Loan Fraud Which Basically Means “Po People in Prison Loans”

…and yes I do understand that whites have been arrested for using PPP loans to buy multiple multi-million dollar homes, Lamborghini’s and other high end purchases, but I had high hopes that Black folk would know that this was a COMPLETE SET UP! We are ALWAYS being set up because we don’t have shit! You can’t understand that??!!!

Watch the video. Dude looks a little crazy with that hairstyle, but he’s making sense in the video.

I am literally shaking my head because, seriously, are you people THAT dumb?

PPP loan fraud could result in numerous federal criminal charges including wire fraud, bank fraud, mail fraud, and identity theft depending on the circumstances of your case. The federal government has already been aggressively prosecuting individuals who have engaged in illegal conduct on their PPP loan applications. – Hubbs Law Firm

For the love of!!!!

PPP loan fraud schemes ran wild as government doled out billions; at least 120 charged

This week marks one year since David Adler Staveley faked his suicide before going on the run from the law for almost two months after he and a co-conspirator were the first in the nation to be charged with fraud in the Paycheck Protection Program in May 2020.

Last week, Staveley pleaded guilty in a federal court in Rhode Island to conspiracy to commit bank fraud and failure to appear in court.

Also last week, federal prosecutors in California and Texas secured convictions in PPP fraud cases where defendants tried to bilk taxpayers out of millions in forgivable loans meant to save jobs and keep businesses afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic. The major convictions within a span of two days underscore how the Justice Department is cracking down on fraud cases from COVID-19 relief.

Black folks, please read this next line.

The Justice Department has charged more than 120 defendants with fraud related to PPP loans. Some cases are substantial.

Read it again! It says, THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT has charged….. It does not say, the country sheriff’s office or the Columbus police department or Barney Fife and the Keystone Cops got anything to do with this, it is THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT which means that you are going to go to FEDERAL PRISON! So, is it going to be worth losing your children, your freedom and all over some superficial shit you purchased just to show off with?

I know that I am talking to myself because the reason you are going to go to prison is because you DON’T READ ANYTHING if it is not scrolling down your ‘smartphone’ which has taken the place of your brain. I have heard about so many people who lied on applications to get those loans, it should just be unbelievable. One Black woman, on her application, stated that she was a real estate agent/broker and the fact of the matter is she has been evicted multiple times, even when she was getting RAP(Rent Assistance Program)money, is a convicted felon several times over, forged her mother’s signature on a lease because she cannot rent an apartment in her name and so no realtor in their right mind would EVER hire her and yet, she applied for a loan for a business that she is going to be laughed out of court and straight into a prison van over. She, hurriedly, signed up for real estate courses as though that is going to be enough to keep her ass out of prison. Another Black woman claimed her daughter’s hair salon as her business and has been buying furniture, a new car, jewelry and taking trips. Someone told me the other day that Atlanta, GA is filled to the brim with Black folks, all of a sudden, driving brand spanking new cars and throwing money around, left and right.

Folks, if it sounds too good to be true, then it is!! What part of, if the federal government is locking up whites for PPP loan fraud, then they are most definitely going to come after your Black ass even for a $10,000 or $20,000 loan, don’t you get???!!!! When have Black people EVER gotten away with ANYTHING???!!! Name one thing!!!

Black people ALWAYS fall for the okie doke; the setup and what’s more, you’re never going to stop because you’ve got to front. You’ve got to buy, buy, buy wigs, nails, bundles of hair, designer shoes, designer clothing, new cars and all while owning nothing that is of any real value or that is making money for YOU. You are too busy handing money over to everyone else and even if you fraudulently obtain money, you still do some dumb shit with it.

And PPP loan fraud is so out of control that it has actually become a joke over on Twitter.

We’re not sure why people are not taking the government seriously.

Or why they think they can get away with lying about businesses and employees when there are so many ways to easily invalidate their loans such as:

payroll taxes and
previously filed business returns

You cannot claim to have a business that you don’t have because you have to pay taxes on that business and you have to have filed business tax returns. So where are YOUR previously filed tax returns for that business you claim to have when you applied to get a Paycheck Protection Program Loan? You are giving false information to various lenders in order to qualify for loans that you are really not qualified for and you believe that when the shit hits the fan, you’re ‘good’? You are so not good. And instead of listening to ‘Pookie’ tell you that he can get you the hook up, you need to tell ‘Pookie’ to take a hike and open a book and educate yourself or at the very least, read up on what qualifies a person to actually take out a PPP loan because actual businesses that needed that money are not going to get approved because the money will have been spent on non-existent businesses.

Black people, you make it too easy for the government to set you up, seriously!!! Why oh why must you always fall for the setup? When will you EVER learn?

Stop Banking At BANK OF AMERICA (BoA)!!!!! I Cannot Stress This Enough!!!!!

 

As many of you already know, I have not been blogging, but something happened that was so beyond the pale that I just had to share it with you!

STOP BANKING AT BANK OF AMERICA!!!!

If you have to, go to a credit union or any other financial entity, but close ALL accounts and any other financial ties that you have with Bank of America. And here’s why.

In my town, there were only 3 Bank of America branches. Last year, one of them closed, two months ago, they ‘temporarily’PERMANENTLY closed a second branch. No reason or explanation was given. This month when I went to the last remaining Bank of America branch, there was a sign on the door, “TEMPORARILY CLOSED” ALL THREE ATMs at that location were inoperable. The ATM at the other ‘temporarily closed’ Bank of America branch was also, inoperable. The already, “permanently closed” branch’s ATM was inoperable. There was no way for ANY Bank of America customer to withdraw funds from their account.

When my cousin tried to use his Bank of America card at another bank’s ATM, he could not get any funds. He spoke with an employee at that bank and even the employee had no idea why my cousin’s ATM card would not work, especially when he was able to obtain a receipt from the ATM stating what the balance in his account was. He called the bank to inquire as to why he was unable to withdraw funds from another bank’s ATM since ALL Bank of America branches were closed and their ATMs were down, he was told that there was “suspicious activity involving his account.” The Bank of America customer service representative had my cousin on the phone trying to explain who his third cousin five times removed was, how many uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces and other siblings he had, where had he worked in the past and the list was endless. My cousin was becoming more and more flustered and I simply took the phone from him and hung up.

I called Bank of America and apprised a customer service representative of the problem and was told that all I had to do to solve the problem of branch closures was to “make use of ONLINE BANKING or use their MOBILE APP.” I went THEE fuck off! I said, “How in the hell can I fucking withdraw money via online banking or via your goddamn mobile app?” I further added that Bank of America was NOT going to force me to do everything via online or via a mobile app and that since hacking is occurring ALL over the goddamn place, why on earth would I sit somewhere and do ALL banking transactions online so that someone can hack my shit and I’m left sitting somewhere looking stupid? I told that bitch that one day, she’d wake up, log in to her account and find it wiped clean by a hacker and then she’d wish that there had been plenty more like me screeching and wailing before being dragged into a cashless society. Almost right after those words had cleared my mouth, I read about the hacking of the PIPELINE that resulted in gas shortages all up and down the East Coast and Southern portion of the country and the shit was being held for ransom.

This Is How The Largest Pipeline In The U.S Was Hacked

According to cyberattack expert Jon Niccolls, “All the devices used to run a modern pipeline are controlled by computers, rather than being controlled physically by people. If they are connected to an organization’s internal network and it gets hit with a cyber-attack, then the pipeline itself is vulnerable to malicious attacks”.

Colonial even has a smart robot that is able to move through the pipes to check for anomalies. So if a hacker is able to get into the central system, he can essentially control all the sensors on all of the pipelines. They might have gained access when a gullible employee opened a malicious email while at work. Hackers don’t attack systems directly as they’re usually well protected. All hackers need is a weak link in the chain.

The group responsible for this attack has been identified by the FBI as DarkSide. The group is a new ransomware gang that is also thought to be based in Russia.

 

 

 

Yeah, I know, Russia gets the blame for everything that goes wrong in America. I guess Russia murdered George Floyd as well, but as usual I digress. The above link would be why I refuse to be pushed, pull, prodded and shoved into a cashless society even though those who are doing the pushing, pulling, prodding and shoving know what’s coming. People, you’d better wake the fuck up! I’m only putting this out here so that you won’t wind up experiencing the same damn thing my cousin and I experienced.

I had to call my congressman and explain the situation to him. The next day, we were on our way to open accounts at another institution and had to drive by the Bank of America branch that had had a “temporarily closed” sign on the door the day before. We pulled into the Bank of America parking lot, which was full, by the way, went in and I was told by a bank employee that due to “staffing issues, they were shorthanded and had to close the branch ‘temporarily’.” While I’m listening to that lie, I hear another Bank of America employee telling another customer that the “bank was closed due to a storm that had knocked the power out and thus rendered the bank unable to open.” Which lie should we have believed? Not only that, but when I inquired as to how long the bank that is supposedly “temporarily closed” would reopen, I was told that renovations were taking place and that it would reopen some time near the end of the year. I later found out, that’s a lie!

I filed a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and was told that the company had a set period in which to respond to the complaint. I received a call from Bank of America last week, however, I was not available to take the call. I called back when I was available and left a message. I then received no return call from Bank of America. I then proceeded to contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau again and made them aware of what had transpired. The same day, I received a call from Bank of America and I laid into that bitch and then hung the phone up. Bank of America does not have to worry about me EVER!

Now, read this.

Why Does Warren Buffett Always Pay In Cash?

If Warren Buffett ever walks into your store or restaurant, he’s likely to pay for his purchases in cash.

“I’ve got an American Express card which I got in 1964,” Buffett, who’s worth more than $88 billion, told Yahoo Finance last year. “But I pay cash 98 percent of the time. If I’m in a restaurant, I always pay cash.”

That’s right. Warren Buffett — one of the richest guys in the world — prefers to pay in cash. In fact, he says that he pretty much always carries around about $400 with him.

 

Not to mention, if you put in a search for “Why is Warren Buffet stockpiling cash?,” you will be inundated with articles explaining why. But suffice it to say, some serious shit is going down when a bank is taking it upon itself to say when there is suspicious activity on someone’s card. It is up to me to contact the bank and tell them that there is suspicious activity on my shit, not for the bank to tell me what’s suspicious. If I have not notified the bank that there is suspicious activity, then no action should be taken. It’s like saying that if I never had Netflix show up on my bank card and then Netflix shows up on my bank card,  that’s fucking suspicious? Because I finally decided to get a Netflix subscription? Seriously??!!!

But the thing is, there was never ANY suspicious activity on my cousin’s account. All he did was try to use another bank’s ATM to get some cash because Bank of America’s ATMs were down and ALL three branch locations of Bank of America were closed. Bank of America made my cousin sound all types of crazy trying to get them to unfreeze his account simply because they are up to some foul ass shit! My cousin did not have access to his funds and even when the branch reopened, the customer service representative had trouble getting my cousin’s account unfrozen. The customer service rep stated that he had been handling that same issue all day long; the fact that Bank of America’s customer accounts had been frozen simply because their customers had tried to get money from other banks ATMs because they could not withdraw any money from Bank of America’s ATMs, nor could they access any Bank of America branch.

If Warren Buffet is stockpiling cash and if Bank of America is denying people access to cash by closing ALL branch locations in multiple cities across this country, and you can look up that fact, then shit is hitting the fan. The powers that be want you to lose your shit because if we are forced into a cashless society, we are going to regret it and I for one, am NOT going willingly. And so this is why I came out of blog retirement, just to clue you in as to what the hell’s been going down and so act accordingly. As usual, I can only put it down, it is up to each of you as to whether or not, you choose to pick up what I’m putting down. Good luck to all of you and know that I wish you all, well!

This Is Why I Give Up On So Called ‘Humans’, ‘Humans’ Will Do Anything For Money

A fellow blogger that I follow had posted some beautiful poetry and I went to his blog and he had also posted a video and when I clicked on the video, the blogger and his wife were sitting down to engage in what they called, ‘mukbang’. Now, I had never heard of this mukbang before and so when I watched what it consists of, I found that mukbang is about sitting down, eating copious amounts of food and that this trend got its start in South Korea back in the early 2000s. When I clicked to stop the video from playing, videos just popped up on the screen with people who were already morbidly obese sitting somewhere shoveling garbage into their mouths with expressions of incredible rapture on their face as though they were enjoying the nectar of the gods. It has been stated that this phenomenon has caught on for many different reasons; some being that others watch people gorge themselves and it reduces their longing for unhealthy foods, others seem to get a kick out of encouraging people to ever more heights of gluttony to the point whereas they will send them money to continue to engage in gluttony. Youtube is shelling out big bucks to multiple mukbangers who have hundreds of thousands or even a million subscribers because of ad revenue on these mukbang sites and even other corporations are using these people to promote their ‘food’ on their Youtube channel by paying for the ‘food’ these people consume while sitting somewhere with expressions of intense rapture on their face as they overindulge.

Unfortunately, the vast number of mukbangers seem to be American descendants of slaves who have, once again, picked up something that should never have been touched, much less so enthusiastically embraced. Eating yourself to death when American descendants of slaves already have a higher prevalence of diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol and obesity than the general population is not something that should be embraced at all. Again I ask the question, what the hell is wrong with us that we will take up everything that we shouldn’t? I just don’t understand any of this.

Inside ‘mukbang’: How some professional binge-eaters earn thousands

In Korea, and now the U.S., people are watching strangers binge eat on YouTube. And many of the top stars are earning big bucks each monthFor years, people have been heading to YouTube to spend upwards of 60 minutes at a time to watch strangers consume 4,000 or more calories in one sitting. Not only that, many of these viewers are paying to indulge in this binge-viewing, binge-eating privilege. Today, this viral trend is only growing in the U.S.

It’s called mukbang (pronounced “mook-bong”), and it translates to “eating broadcast” in South Korea, where professional mukbangers can make up to $9,000 a month.

This is hard to watch, but I am posting this so that it may just get through to someone in that this is not something that you should take up and run with.

This woman, clearly, has no business starting this mukbang nonsense when she is as big as a whale. This is just gross and obscene. And with a small child in the house, she is setting  the worst possible example. Look at her arm. As big as she is, there is no way that this woman can wipe her own ass, much less bathe herself. She is the very last person who should be asking people to give her ideas on what foods they would like to see her stuff her face with also while stating that someone else will do the cooking, enabling her to kill herself.

 

And if that is not bad enough,

 

She has her young daughter participating in this mess!

Her child is looking up to her for guidance and this is what she is learning. Where is child welfare?

 

This next one is even more sickening!

She actually sits there and eats a sandwich with three ‘meat’ patties on it, a huge helping of fries, a fish sandwich and washes it all down with lemonade. Meanwhile, her young daughter sits beside her with a container of fries during this mukbang. For the love of !!!!!

 

In my opinion, this is a clear case for the intervention of child services. Please go to her Youtube channel and you’ll find out all her business. Her channel is called, “Toya’s Goodies” and “Goodie” is her last name. This heifer sits down and does nothing but watches TV and eats all day and night.

And next up heifer number two and ‘biggie getting bigger’!

Here we have a married couple who lives with the wife’s mother in order to continue to eat copious amounts of food and travel America meeting up with others to post more videos of this mess together.

Look at all the animals that it took to feed these obese ‘humans’ who are doing this mess to get paid by one corporation to eat dead animals prepped in Supermarkets by yet another corporation while other ‘humans’ subscribe, like and even help pay for meals for these ‘humans’ to consume. This is just whacked!

Seriously???!!!!!!

 

Such as this is why I hardly blog anymore because what is the point? How can any sane person take up this disgusting display of gluttony? And for money! Everyone has gone crazy!

This man claims to have just completed his nursing training. Really??!!

 

His wife just completed her nursing training as well, or so she claims, and she also engages in this nonsense and the two have included their children in these mukbang videos as well. Child welfare, head on over to their channel and find out their specifics and take the children. Their channel is ‘Beastmode’ and ‘Queenbeast’. Yeah! They are certainly ‘beastly’ to their two children.

 

The next picture is a picture of this man’s wife and one of their children participating in this unhealthy mess!

If the adults want to act crazy, fine. But to include their children in this nonsense is just beyond the end of enough!

And this woman claims to have finished nursing school. She’ll more than likely drop dead over one of her patients. And I would certainly not want her as a nurse if she can happily feed her children such as this and see nothing wrong with it.

Here is a ‘mukbang’ with both husband, wife and their two kids. I am just outraged! They called this one their “MCDONALDS FAMILY MUKBANG!! “

 

While doing research for this, I discovered that the majority of mukbangers are American descendants of slaves. Now, those in the above picture are Haitian. But the rest are American descendants of slaves and why we would take up something from South Korea and run with it is beyond me. Those people are not prone to fat like many in our group are. And to promote grossly unhealthy eating habits is absolutely appalling and to include your children in this mess makes it even worse. As I always say, “I no longer despair FOR us. I despair OF us!

To those of you who are reading this, think long and hard about the choices you make because they can and will have a most lasting detrimental impact on you and your health and that of your children. If you don’t care about yourself, at least try and pretend to care about your children. Are Youtube dollars worth the health, well being and safety of your children? Is eating yourself to death while pursuing a nursing degree an act of sanity? Is encouraging your spouse to engage with you in unhealthy eating really a great way to grow old together in reasonably good health? What is wrong with you? Morbid obesity, heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, cancer and much more are not worth Youtube subscribers, likes and Youtube dollars. You can’t spend money when you are dead. No one on Youtube is going to give a shit when you are no longer posting mukbang videos due to the fact that the Fire Department in your area had to come in with a forklift and get your dead carcass out of the building and to the morgue. Something to think about because this shit’s not funny. I feel so sorry for the children of these people because they don’t know any better, but the parents should!

It gets worse!

As if what they are about to eat is bad enough, in the next picture they include their child in this mess. Child Protective Services, where are you when children of parents like this need you??!!!

 

The child is going to grow up to be just like these two horrors!

Where are the ‘parenting skills’ because who told these two obese idiots that it was okay to include children in this gluttony?

 

And again!

Lawd have mercy!

 

Are we all sickened by this display yet?

These people do this mess, day after day after day and “Coldest Water” sponsor many of them. Is “Coldest Water” going to also pay for their funeral?

 

Because surely, they are headed for an early demise.

Okay, I’ve seen all that I can take at this point!

💔​​Cultural Racism Is Keeping People Single💔 — The Eye Wall

Dear T.S.P. Family, I recently composed a meme where I expressed the importance of incorporating the effects systematic racism has had on American society when we’re having discussions about what a healthy romantic relationship should look like. In other words, you can’t talk about “love” without factoring in how “race” affects the way we judge the […]

via 💔​​Cultural Racism Is Keeping People Single💔 — The Eye Wall

So basically what T.S.P. is saying is that white women who date Black men have a fetish about the Big, Black buck with the huge dick, who was off limits back in the picking cotton slavery days. Black men who date white women got, “White women are submissive and won’t give me no lip” syndrome and therefore, are quite the opposite of the “Angry Black Ghetto Queen.” Black women who date white men do so because the Black man is broke-assed thanks to slavery since folks who was owned, couldn’t own a damn thing. And white men date Black women because they’ve got “My sex slave in the slave quarters” syndrome, that also is thanks in part to white men heading for the slave quarters after having not been satisfied by their white wife, AGAIN….back in the picking cotton slavery days. And some whites just have “I want to piss off my relatives by dating Blacks” syndrome and those of us who are single ain’t down with none of that. We got ourselves a big ole case of needing all up and down on some counseling.
Let me break MY situation down. I don’t date because I was married to a broke ass Black man who spent all of his earnings on the lottery and on card games played for money while I had to take care of the bills, but the thing is see, I knew he was broke assed and I married him anyway. And now that I have been divorced for quite some time, there ain’t nothing white, Black, purple or blue that’s worth me even looking at because with all of the STDs out there, if anybody thinks that I am going to dive back into the dating pool, they have got another think coming. Not to mention that if anyone has heard of the show, “The Bachelor,” then you know that the number one reason contestants are eliminated is due to STDs, namely herpes, which is incurable and many did not even know they had an STD until they tried out for that show. So, they have been spreading herpes to all and sundry. Yeah! Think about that for a minute or two. Let it sink in.
“ABC is testing for drugs—but perhaps more importantly, the network is checking for STDs.”

“As soon as the medical tests came back, you’d see that herpes was the biggest thing,” Hatta told Kaufman. “And sometimes you’d be the first person to tell a contestant that they had herpes. You’d be like, ‘Uh, you should call your doctor.’ Why? ‘We’re not going to be able to have you on our show, but you should call your doctor.’”

And with the way folks bed hop these days, I ain’t down with that. Nor am I down with having to attend every doctor’s appointment that my significant other goes to because I need to know just what the hell he is doing when I am not around. And the Black men I see in my day to day activities ALL want to know if I know how to cook! “Hell no and I ain’t yo mama!” Those old ass bastards want someone to take care of their sick asses. As long as I can remember, some old ass man has always been looking up in my face wanting me to get with them, acting like they something because our first date would be at their ‘Senior Living’ facility. Seriously??!!
I do believe that some of us don’t date because we are perfectly fine with being single. I don’t think it has everything to do with racism and who is poor and who is rich or about a fetish and because we need counseling because we as Black people have been subjected to every vile and atrocious thing whites could throw at us and so we are mentally and physically tired of the shit. We are, but at the same time, being single has its perks. You don’t have to worry about STDs. You don’t have to worry about what your ‘partner’ is doing when you’re not around; that trust issue. You don’t have to fake orgasms or feel like you are obligated to have sex with someone when you don’t want to have sex and the peace of being alone has its own benefits. You pay your own bills and have no one to drag you down with their issues because we ALL know that everyone brings baggage to the table. Some of us have gotten to a point in our lives where we find enjoyment in being single, carefree and able to do as we please. Call us selfish if you will, but I prefer to call us, “content.” And so I say, “Each to his/her own.”

Lastly, I covered some dating issues in a blog I posted a couple of years ago.

 

I Didn’t Boycott The Oscars At All!

The 85th Academy Awards® will air live on Oscar® Sunday, February 24, 2013.

I am living proof of Negro history.
I live it each and every day.
The white man thinks he’s doing me a favor
by telling me to celebrate my history, HIS way!

I don’t live and breathe for the white man.
Nor will I let him control who I am.
I won’t go to him for any ole awards
because for his accolades, I don’t give a damn.

I didn’t boycott the Oscars at all.
Why the hell should I even care?
I know where the fuck I stand.
Why would I sit in front of a box and stare?

Oh I hear how Chris Rock told some jokes.
And Tracy Morgan played the fool in a skit.
But what is really so funny in the end
is that this was all just some Black History shit!

And so we end this Black History at The Oscars
 with Al Sharpton protesting out back
and Melissa Harris-Perry, what can I say?
Either she quit or she got the fucking sack.

I guess ‘Twelve Years A Slave’ got no sequel.
And ‘The Butler’ dropped Massa’s rum punch.
‘The Help’ ain’t here to pick up the pieces
of the Black Hollywood Brady Bunch!

So, pick your ‘coon’ part and play it to the hilt.
Sell some tickets and be thankful for your job.
You don’t need an award from the white man,
just an adoring theater going mob.

Go ask Niggers With Attitude(N.W.A.), they’ll tell ya! Straight Outta Compton grossed 201.6 million, so where are the awards and I know Negroes flocked to that movie like flies on shit?

You fucking know the score. Deal with it or don’t! But just shut the fuck up because the white man don’t give a shit about your boycotts when you’ve already paid the price for his movie tickets. And when Massa decides to make another movie about some white folks needing some maid and butler services, be sure to head on inside a movie theater, pay for your ticket and watch your life play out in front of you. When Massa decides to hire some Negroes to play ‘400 Years A Slave’, there ya go! Head on back in and watch YOUR role in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade play out, but don’t expect no goddamn Oscar for that shit. Hell! Anybody can scream, moan, wring their hands and gnash their teeth while getting their fucking back lashed! Maybe they’ll make a ‘White Chicks II’ starring some more Black-assed motherfuckers all got up in ‘white’ face and they’ll finally win an Oscar for that shit! But….uh…don’t hold yer breath!

Meanwhile, ‘The Hood’ burns! And guess who stars in that shit???!!!!!! Yeah! Our children!!! You dumbass motherfuckers don’t even know what’s goddamn important and some goddamn awards ain’t fucking important!!!!!!!!!!

A Little Advice For The Negro In America!

secretly record everything

Surveillance, surveillance, surveillance! And just what is surveillance? Well, let’s see:

close observation, especially of a suspected spy or criminal.
“he found himself put under surveillance by military intelligence”
synonyms: observation, scrutiny, watch, view, inspection, supervision;

Now, what I mean by ‘surveillance’ is, keep the Caucasoid under CONSTANT surveillance. Since you are under his surveillance, then have him under yours and believe me, you WILL get paid because those racist motherfuckers ARE going to hand you a titanium-coated lawsuit; several, quite actually. And your case WILL be settled out-of-court because the shit will hit the fan, otherwise.

This is what you do. Search for spy gear stores in your area and if you come up empty, there are plenty of online spy gear sites with some shit that James Bond007 never even heard of.  Since you were going to waste your money on Timberland boots, rims, bling and big flat screen TVs anyway, why not put some of that money into making money for you? Call it an investment on future gains because you will gain and gain big time!

Have you ever been on the job and some Caucasoid cocksucker called you a “Nigger?” Sure you have, but you didn’t have the motherfucker under surveillance and so it was your word against that Caucasoid cocksucker. But if you had been wired for sound, you would have been paid! Case settled! Case closed! Next! Because there is going to be a next time; you and I both know it. Now, if you work at a job that requires you to put all personal belongings into a locker, no problemo because there are recording devices that are so small, they cannot even be detected. Some are as tiny as the tip of a needle. There is a recording device for every occasion and don’t forget, have a backup recording device on hand at all times, just in case. Protect your rights because those Caucasoid cocksuckers sure won’t.

I consider this to be the equivalent of that forty acres and a mule thing that we were promised but those cocksuckers just never got around to delivering to us, you know, for slavery and all. There is more than one way to skin a cat, so to speak. There is not a Negro in AmeriKKKa that has not had their civil rights violated or been discriminated against at some point and in some way. Can you just imagine how much bank we could have had if we’d only taken up their habits? I have been telling you, time and time again that you have got to fight fire with fire. Limp ass protest signs don’t work. Marching down the goddamn street, decade after decade did not work. Hell! The motherfucking FBI had “I am all for peaceful protesting,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. under surveillance. Interrupting the lying politician Caucasoid cocksuckers will not get it done. Begging the bastards to stop discriminating against us has not worked. Attempting to assimilate hasn’t worked and so that is why we must up the ante.

Hey! Negro sell-outs! Yeah, you! You are still considered a “Nigger” by the Caucasoid cocksucker and so this is for you as well. Since you’ve most likely brown-nosed, kissed ass, sucked up to and sucked a white cock to get into your nice little window-less office in the basement of the police department, hospital records department, insurance claims files department and so forth and so on, you wanna get a promotion to paid? Purchase some spy gear and plant listening devices all over the place while making your rounds, delivering the mail, files or whatnot.

To those of you who are janitors, hotel housekeeping and the like, since you blend in in the background as ‘The Help’, start helping yourself to getting paid. Get ta spying.

Once you have evidence of corruption, civil rights violations and some more shit, get a lawyer and don’t forget to spy on his/her ass as well because lawyer is synonymous with liar and it is no coincidence that both begin and end with the same letters.

So, to ‘all my peeps’, hit me up and let me know when you start getting paid and if you’re not convinced, keep reading.

Texaco Settles Race Bias Suit for $176 Million

“In the glare of scandal, Texaco Inc. on Friday signed what may be the largest settlement of a racial discrimination lawsuit, agreeing to pay an immediate $115 million in damages plus pay raises of at least 10% to about 1,400 black employees.

An unusual aspect of the settlement, valued by plaintiffs’ lawyers at $176 million in all, calls for Texaco to form a seven-member “equality and tolerance task force” that will give the plaintiffs a say in hiring and promotion policy at the giant oil company.

“The era of the ‘good ol’ boy network’ at Texaco is coming to an end,” plaintiffs’ lawyer Cyrus Mehri said, adding: “It’s going to be a new Texaco.”

After dragging on for 2 1/2 years, the case was settled in 10 days of urgent negotiations that began Nov. 12, the day after the disclosure of secret recordings of senior Texaco executives denigrating black workers and plotting to destroy incriminating evidence in the lawsuit.

“Glued to the bottom of the bag was exactly how I felt,” Roberts said, alluding to a taped remark by one of her superiors who joked that “all of the black jelly beans seem to be glued to the bottom of the bag.”

The uproar resulting from the tapes forced Texaco to the negotiating table and led to threats by civil rights groups of a national boycott of Texaco products and a stock-divestiture movement.”

Continue reading because Caucasians are calling out to other Caucasian cocksuckers to not get caught like Texaco did. So, Negroes, that is why I am calling out to YOU to keep in mind that the system that is all up on your ass like flies on shit is still at it.

Don’t Make Texaco’s $175 Million Mistake
Texaco’s executives had used racial slurs—including the “n” word—and poked fun at Kwanzaa, an African-American holiday. These affronts were in addition to plotting to destroy documents demanded in the discrimination suit.

What happened at Texaco also serves as a wake-up call to every other business in the United States. Good intentions aside, it’s clear Corporate America has a long way to go in creating companies that truly value and support diversity—especially racial diversity.

” especially racial diversity”

‘Value and support racial diversity’? Get the fuck outta here! Seriously? And just where the fuck might that be because I’m as sure as the Ashley Madison hack that you’re not working for a company that ‘values and supports racial diversity’!? The only thing that the Caucasoid values is the dumbing down of the Negro, incarceration of the Negro, glaring income inequality between the Caucasian and the Negro, subjugation of the Negro and looking forward to the death of the Negro. So, my advice to you is to get paid before they plant your ass!

The Biggest Lie Ever Told!

dr dre

Straight Outta Compton;
 the biggest lie ever told.
Gloss over the truth
and the public is sold.

Offer an apology,
 why don’t you Dr. Dre?
It’s so late in coming.
Did fame get in the way?

Beating up on women
can be overlooked.
What’s a little abuse
 when the matinée  is booked?

No ho can steal the thunder
 of Niggers With Attitude
  making money for the man.
 Who needs their gratitude?

When we tell our story
 who will fill in the blanks
 about the women that got beaten;
 those hos, bitches and skanks?

Sell-outs rule the day
from Compton in L.A.
to the District of Columbia,
 and all across the U.S.A.

Get with the program,
it’s all about getting paid.
If the bitches come around
they know, they gone get laid.

If she stepped outta line,
she got beat just like a man
by a nigger with an attitude.
And now you’re my biggest fan.

Dr. Dre Apologizes to the ‘Women I’ve Hurt’

N.W.A., topped the box office last week with a $56.1 million opening.. “Compton,” his first album in 16 years, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard chart. Last year, the music company that Dr. Dre helped establish, Beats, was sold to Apple for $3 billion, making him the self-proclaimed “first billionaire in hip-hop.”

But critics charge that the movie, which was co-produced by Dr. Dre, glosses over N.W.A.’s record of misogyny and ignores Dr. Dre’s history of physically abusing women.

“I apologize to the women I’ve hurt. I deeply regret what I did and know that it has forever impacted all of our lives.”

“He{Dr. Dre} was often physically abusive, hitting her with a closed fist and leaving “black eyes, a cracked rib and scars.” said Michel’le, a former girlfriend of Dr. Dre.

So, it would appear that police brutality was addressed in the movie, but not the brutality unleashed by Dr. Dre towards women, until now that is in his decades late apology. But of course, he is reformed and all is forgiven; this moneymaker, because if Dr. Dre sold his music company, Beats, to Apple for $3billion, is anyone foolish enough to not get how much Apple has made from Beats purchase?

Who cares about some women that got busted up by him? No man’s closed fist punch hurts a mere woman, does it? There’s more money to be made off Dr. Dre, so hos accept what you asked for, deal with it, dude has apologized, is still making money for us and we are laughing all the way to the bank. Yeah! Like we give a shit about your black eyes, cracked ribs and scars. You know you asked for it or you wouldn’t have been dating him. Live and learn and sometimes, living hurts, don’t it?

I am being SO goddamn sarcastic, it ain’t even funny.

Straight Outta Compton may be a blockbuster hit, but it got no takers here. A piece of shit that will hit a woman AND with a closed fist, will get no props from me, much less my hard-earned goddamn money. Fuck that shit!
