Chase Shuts Down Bank Accounts of Mercola and Key Employees

Story at-a-glance

  • July 13, 2023, JP Morgan Chase Bank informed me they are closing all of my business accounts, along with the personal accounts of my CEO, my CFO and their respective spouses and children
  • My CEO was informed his young children also will never be allowed to bank with Chase in the future
  • No reason for the decision was given, other than there was “unexpected activity” on an unspecified account
  • This is what the new social credit system looks like, and what every soul on the planet can expect from the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that are being rolled out. Go against the prevailing narrative of the day, and your financial life will be deleted
  • It’s difficult enough trying to navigate this hurdle today. Once everything is digitized, cash eradicated and the social credit system completely integrated and automated, this kind of retaliatory action for wrongthink could be a death sentence for some people

July 13, 2023, JP Morgan Chase Bank suddenly informed me they are closing all of my business accounts, both banking and investment accounts, along with the personal accounts of my CEO, my CFO and their respective spouses and children.

No reason for the decision was given, other than there was “unexpected activity” on an unspecified account. The oldest of these accounts has been active for 18 years.

Chase bank cancellation letter to Natural Health Partners

Politically-Motivated Harassment

This is what the new social credit system looks like, and what every soul on the planet can expect from the central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) that are being rolled out. Go against the prevailing narrative of the day, and your financial life will be deleted with the push of a button.

It’s difficult enough trying to navigate this hurdle today. Once everything is digitized, cash eradicated and the social credit system completely integrated and automated, this kind of retaliatory action for wrongthink could be a death sentence for some people.

My CFO, Amalia Legaspi, whose Chase accounts — including a joint account with her husband — were closed along with mine, is now struggling to figure out how to pay for her husband’s health care in the Philippines. He’s bedridden with dementia and is wholly dependent on her financial support, and she’s not allowed to open another bank account in his name.

“I have to provide all the legal documentations including notarized physicians’ affidavit from the Philippines to prove that my husband is incapable of handling his finances and request the Federal to directly deposit the pension to my own personal account,” Legaspi told Florida’s Voice.1

Legaspi’s son’s account — which he’s using to pay for college expenses — was also cancelled. My CEO, Steven Rye, believes his and his wife’s accounts were shut down because of my opinions on COVID-19. He told Florida’s Voice:2

“I believe they cancelled all of the accounts because of Dr. Mercola’s (our employer) opinions. He has carried a contradictory view throughout the COVID narrative and co-authored the best-selling book ‘The Truth About COVID-19,’ which exposed the likelihood that this virus was engineered in a laboratory funded by the NIH.”

In May 2023, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation specifically prohibiting financial institutions from denying or canceling services based on political or religious beliefs.3

Apparently, Chase Bank is bowing to some other “authority,” and perhaps they refuse to cite a specific reason for the cancellation, “for legal reasons,” is because they know they’re acting unlawfully.

Generational Punishment for Wrongthink

On top of closing the accounts of Rye and his wife, Rye also was told his young children will not be able to open accounts with Chase Bank.

“It’s just hard to believe that your family, your wife, your kids can’t have a bank account because of the opinions of your employer and they’ve never done anything wrong. We all have completely clear records,” Rye told Florida’s Voice.4

In a voicemail reply, a Chase Bank representative told Rye the reason for closing his personal accounts and that of his wife could not be disclosed “for legal reasons.” He was, however, told he could submit paperwork to have their accounts reconsidered. “We are going to try because you’re a good client of our institution,” the representative said.

While a common suggestion is to “just go with a small bank,” this is not an ideal solution for many companies, as small banks are getting destroyed and won’t get bailouts. Even if a small local bank is FDIC insured, that only covers up to $250,000.00 of total deposits between all accounts. That amount would not cover a single payroll.

As an online business, you also have requirements for payment gateways and merchant accounts — and cryptocurrency does not have the infrastructure or general acceptance to support most businesses.

Chase Bank Holds Moral Low Ground

Mercola Market has more than 150 employees and thousands of vendors that farm, process, manufacture, distribute and manage the logistics of our business. Will the banks go after all of our employees? Will they start closing the accounts of our contractors? Will they go after our customers?

Again, this is the social credit system in action. Just imagine how easy it will be to control people’s expressions and actions once all currency is digital, centrally controlled and mandated.

This could happen to anyone. My CFO and CEO are not me. They’re not directly engaged in the dissemination of my views, and their spouses and children most certainly have nothing to do with my business or my views. Yet they’re being “punished” too, merely because they’re related to people who work for me.

Imagine being retaliated against something your neighbor, your employer, a friend or some distant relative has said or done. That’s our future, unless we all refuse to play along. It’s crucial to reject CBDCs and to do everything in your power to not enter into that system. The life and freedom of your children and grandchildren depend on it. Your actions today will shape the future of your descendants, perhaps in perpetuity.

In closing, let me remind you that if Chase Bank is trying to stand on some moral high ground, they can’t. While they may think they’re doing the world a favor by debanking so-called “anti-vaxxers,” they had no problem aiding and abetting child sex trafficking efforts by the likes of Jeffrey Epstein. They didn’t cut ties with that notorious pedophile until a few months before his death.5

A spokesperson for Chase told The Epoch Times6 that “most account closures are done for anti-money laundering or identity verification purposes.” So, the grossly tainted proceeds from Epstein’s disgusting ventures were good enough for JP Morgan Chase, but deposits from a business selling natural health products and organic food is at risk for money laundering and is bad for business. That’s the moral and ethical ground Chase Bank is standing on.

While highly unlikely and improbable, it would be a good shot across the bow for Gov. De Santis to cancel Chase from “providing services” in Florida.
We are at war with our Govt and institutions such as this. It’s only a matter of time before we are all enjoined in battle if any semblance of freedom is to exist.

Yep. And I’m pretty confident that statement extends to credit unions as well. Whether it’s fiat or real money, if you can’t hold it in your hand? You don’t “own” shit.

And trust me when I tell you that they’re going to try to take it right out of your hand at the first opportunity as well. Don’t give them that opportunity!

THIS IS ” the great reset”…bombing the entire world back into total poverty, starvation and homelessness. The “good news” is that GOD Created us in that very environment. We were designed to survive these things!

The little guys can vote with their feet, and transfer funds to a credit union, whose accounts can also be used to issue auto-pay monthly obligations of utilities and other recurring debt obligations.

So, too, to only keep a minimum amount of available funds on deposit for such.

Otherwise, cease ACF transfer of funds, order a stack of checks, and pay each bill as it comes due, even the recurring, relatively small obligations, to keep the lights on, the heating fuel flowing, etc.
Inconvenient at best, but an option just the same.

Ideally, escaping the grid & becoming self sufficient for water, heat, electricity would be optimal, but the reality is that most Joe & Jane Sixpack are not in a position to go Galt.

Keeping a low profile might help to avoid what Mercola & employees experienced, but if large businesses want to remain viable, with open funding transaction freedom, and freedom of opinions & mission statements, it’s becoming a thin tightrope to maintain balance and still move forward to make progress, to sustain viability.

True, Mare Bear. How many accounts are pushing paperless statements?

As if the digital, web based accounting tools are infallible to risk and threats.

If enacted as mandatory, keep printers and ink in working order, with spare supplies & redundancy, to produce hard copy statements of holdings and claims that might help, if an EMP causes global chaos.

Better still, secure a stash of viable scrip that hopefully will still be accepted for debt payment…

I wonder if we will see creditors ever accept hard money for payment, in such a scenario.

When power or internet went MIA, holders of cash were still able to obtain groceries in some locales, where debit & credit card payer were SOL.

Personally, I feel a tad bit naked, without holding available cash in day-to-day activities.

The new Gen’s think nothing of paying for small denomination transactions with phone app payments, or debit cards.
Well, because fiat cash bills are dirty, and used by druggies.
The privacy benefit is the real thing the banksters and .gov want to eradicate.

Lol! I assume that’s rhetorical.

As long as people believe the paper money is good, that’s a good plan and one we take seriously. Once faith in fiat is lost, barter is all we have left. People say you can’t eat gold and silver which I think is a red herring. While that is true, people have to use something to trade with if they don’t have the food, ammo, coffee, etc.. whatever the other person needs. Gold and silver have never been worth nothing and someone is always willing to buy gold and silver.

I have surgery scheduled Aug 22 to get the regular hip replacement put back in, assuming I stay infection free. Praying.. After that I will have to be on oral anti-biotics for 6 months. Something I am not looking forward to but some Drs want their patients on anti-biotics for life. I fail to see how your bacteria would not become resistant.
Thanks for asking.

MC,
First off, best wishes for your surgical outcome. 6 months of antibiotic coverage? That sounds F**king crazy. Needless to say Abs create their own set of problems. My opinion would be to take them for a week post op and quit. Keep an eye on your temp daily. Elevated temp is the obvious sign of possible infection. Maybe weekly on at least monthly CBC (complete blood count) to keep that eye on any brewing infections. I’d be taking Vit-C, at the very least 3g total daily divided into 2 or 3 daily doses (personally, I have taken 6g daily for over 30 years and have never had the flu (greater than 1 day in bed, 1 or 2 times) or “covid” or any other infection related problems.
Taking 6 months of Abs tells me the Dr. doesn’t appreciate the significance of the gut biome in regulating health.
Again Mary, best wishes for a thoroughly uneventful time of it.

Fiat is a contract or promise to pay. At one time it was a voucher in effect that said this paper could be exchanged for Gold or Silver. Between 1933 and 1964 that was done away with and it became backed by the full faith and credit of the US. Today’s fiat still is such a promise to pay.
I believe doing away with that and being entirely “electronic” you hold no contract paper and it is no longer what we are told is US currency. You cannot hold CBDC in your hand or pocket. If one is paying attention we are hearing drips and drabs about how the bank “owns” the money and instead of it being our money it is merely provided by them to us for some supposed “convenience.”
The time approaches where he who doesn’t have a sword may need to consider selling his cloak and buying one as Christ told us.

I’m not falling for it. Inevitability worms are getting easy to spot. All of this is unverifiable and Mercola has been controlled op all along. That’s a very badly done fake paste up of a ‘letter’ and the whole thing a crafted ‘message’ being sent .

Doesn’t really state the money was ‘taken’…. but laments that some employee’s children ‘can’t open Chase accounts in the future.” ??

The manipulation is in the ‘resigned’ wording – spelling out what will happen in the disguise of a warning. They’re mind worms of ‘inevitability’ that sneakily put minds in a state of resignation to concept inevitability – but they are things that won’t happen without the worms.

“This is what the new social credit system looks like, and what every soul on the planet can expect …” CAN.

“Once everything is digitized…” IS.

“small banks are getting destroyed and won’t get bailouts.” Covering all money fear mongering bases.

Just imagine how easy it will be to control people’s expressions and actions…” Got the command?

“…they’re being “punished” too, merely because they’re related to people who work for me.” Reminding you that you need to fear guilt by association.

“This could happen to anyone.” Worms worms worms.

And repeating any wormy shit like this for more minds to get exposed to – even awakes who think they’ve too smart for it – makes you an accessory dupe too in today’s world where worms are the main tool of the mind control and outcome creation.

I knew something felt deceptive and I found it today.

After reading Mercola’s own words in the article above did you think the accounts were already closed?

They were NOT. It was notice of FUTURE closing, and yes, the parasites making an example of him…. but he’s also helping enhance the fear tactic by his own omission.

Think about how slimy and manipulative it was to deliberately leave out that MERCOLA HAS UNTIL SEPTEMBER 10 to regroup at another bank, Rye until August 11. The letter he pasted bits and pieces of deliberately avoided that part too.

“…… The CFO stated that she had no idea why her personal accounts were closed. Chase sent letters to Mercola Market on July 13, giving them until September 10 to shut down their accounts, while Rye, his wife, and Legaspi were instructed to cease all account operations by August 11….”

I fault Mercola for banking with Chase in the first place.

Chase is not a pinnacle bank.
