Note:
My
beloved Brethren. The world continues a downward spiral as the poor are still
counted by the blind and those that see as cannon fodder in various convert
ways. Will poor people get in the way of
the pseudo rich? Can the poor out live the rich and stay on earth too long?
Constitutional
rights are limited among those that have very little resources as big companies
deny rights to Free Expression to those with little pocketbooks. The man dead broke appealed to No one as the
Boss heard nothing. However God did.
Meanwhile
gifted and sent we have been able to see that all that looks good for the
masses is often only good for those with a manner of control over the masses
that don’t see God. All that glitters is not gold. And surely all that are poor
and those who claim to be rich are not poor.
The poor see Peace and Paradise the rich see a fading sunshine that came
in the temporal flesh. Thus many come “the wretched of the earth” not hampered
are stalled by limited resources but the good sense to see life beyond the
pocketbook and Peace and Paradise.
Greetings Brethren,
Peace be unto you. To the Church
and believing Christians everywhere. To those that believe in the Bible as the
supreme authority that governs all of humankind. In this we give thanks to God
the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit that leads and guides us the
straightway.
It is for sure that the people of
God and all that believe in love and compassion for all of humankind welcome
the hope of the Obama Administration to help poor people survive during these
trying times. Yes, these are the times when the poor and elderly, those on
fixed incomes the disabled are conned, tricked out of millions of dollars. Do
many credit card companies are the big bank of America prey on those with fixed
incomes? Most of their (the poor and often oppressed) monthly income (usually
only one source) goes directly to the bank by way of a disability check, social
security etc. Thus they (the Big Banks) know that the poor and often elderly
have only a pittance to live on monthly. However many credit cards are designed
especially for these people.
So how can we figure out if this
bank and many others in the banking industry willfully practice with
premeditated larceny schemes to deprive the poor out of money they need for
medications and food to eat? One clear and direct way is to look closely at the
billing statements received by our case-study person and try to gain some sense
out of what has taken place. One of the most prominent schemes is to charge the
poor a fee for over-payments. First of all why not just reject the transaction
like many other credit card companies. But this would not allow a shrewd way to
bilk the elderly poor out of money claiming that they have overdrawn their
account and thus owe a fee for doing so.
Look with us as we note the
circumstances and figures from several billing statements in sequence to try to
get some understanding of how one of these schemes works. We will note three billing statements. The
first notes that the account was in good standing. However we will try to gain
some sense of the credit available section as this is a key element in this
scheme as it serves as a point of confusion. Then we will note two other
statements to try to ascertain just how the account was overdrawn and
especially how it came to be overdrawn for two straight months. We begin in May
2009. Look at your statements?
Excerpts
and brief note on the Billing Statements. Meanwhile for your
thought and mediation….Are the Poor living too long?
PAYMENT
POSTED: 7-3-09 Amount: $46.00
Over
limit Fees Based on Balance $1,513.98 Posted 7-23-09 Transaction 7-23-09
Amount: $39.00: Again
we note that the Balance is erroneous and incorrect. Therefore the over payment
once again is incorrect and meant as a willful act of larceny from our vantage
point.
Account
is again noted as being over the limit.
New
Balance: $1,552.98: Our
reading of these three Billing Statements note that the balance for this
account at this time should be $1,474.88 not the inflated figure noted at the
beginning of this section.
Payment
Due Date 8-17-09
One
Penny For the Many
The
Big Banks the money lenders the money spenders
the
stimulus thieves who sought more to gold inlay the
executive
office and greedy pocketbooks than an equal
share
to the man with only one penny more.
Many
schemes came on the scene. Some changed the
time
a bill was due as the fixed income people lived from
day
break to dusk and month to month as they had nothing
in
between. Thus a change of time of payment to them was fatal.
Sometimes
they targeted the young and those eager with credit
cards
that were in college. But the greatest and most wretched
schemes
came among those that were old and hungry. The banks
snatched
the last piece of bread and sopped the pot with vice.
John
said he had one penny too many. As he saw an effort to
deprive
his mother and all that looked to Social Welfare
out
of every dime they had as there was no savings as
the
banks knew they had nothing.
Meanwhile
many looked to God and saw renewed hope in prayer.
We
also placed faith and trust in some that had been sent to
render
some relief to the poor. For the first time since the days
of
FDR have we seen anyone calling out the name of the poor?
The
Banks need to eat and so do the people. Who will eat first?
Will
all have a fatted calf? Do anyone liveth that actually wish
gravy
for some and slop for others? Where are the hogs that
eat
caviar as the slop is thrown to the penny people.
