OPERATION CHOKE POINT
It’s called Operation Choke Point, and it has nothing to do with deep-throating.
Instead, it’s a targeted effort to shut down as many as 30 separate industries by making it impossible for them to access banking services.
In a Wall Street Journal op-ed Thursday, American Bankers Association CEO Frank Keating wrote that the Justice Department is “telling bankers to behave like policemen and judges.”
“Operation Choke Point is asking banks to identify customers who may be breaking the law or simply doing something government officials don’t like,” Keating wrote. “Banks must then ‘choke off’ those customers’ access to financial services, shutting down their accounts.”
Keating said the highly secretive operation was launched in early 2013. That’s when porn stars started to complain to the media that their bank accounts were being shut down without explanation.

The DOJ believes they are helping (who?) by blocking those porn stars while helping covering up the gun running operation called "fast and furious". Amazing.
Thank you very much for sharing that information. That seems like the Justice Department is breaking the law to me. This may be the kind of topic that deserves more attention. Feels like the Government is targeting folks that society may or may not deem desirable to openly defend their rights.
I really don't get that. This government is liberal as we all know. So it is not about defending against vice or a religious moral they are after. My guess: of all of this is about a test drive to control private citizen and their private enterprise and the flow of money. It is easier to target a group of people that is on the "fringe" everyone would believe they have too much cash and are not paying their taxes.
