The "Support Our Troops" hype, and the feigned concern for our Veterans, continues. I am a decorated, service disabled, Vietnam Veteran whos only source of income is a disability payment from the VA and SS direct deposited into a JPMorgan Chase Bank account. By law, these funds are unattachable. I discovred on Veterans day that the Bank placed a hold on my funds (funds derived only from the VA and SS), through a unlawful (generated through the administrative, process, not the judicial process)levy initiated by the IRS (the IRS, under the color of law, does not have the authority to levy). I have repeatedly informed the IRS that I have no liability. My last communication with the IRS was that, again, I have no liability, and that I was a decorated, service disabled, Vietnam Veteran. Their response, a unlawful levy calculated to take effect on Veterans Day. The zenith of contempt by a tyranical, criminal enterprise that continues to operate unlawfully, with no fear of prosecution, and an enterprise that conspires with the Corporate Machine (ie JPMorgan Chase Bank as part of that machine) to carry on their racketeering behavior through threat, duress, and coercion, as well as stealing earned and promised benefits from Patriotic citizens (in my case, Veterans Disability funds and SS funds). I served believing I was fulfilling my Patriotic Duty. I learned that my service and sacrifice was not to strengthen our Country, but instead, I was duped into strengthening the Corporate Criminal Enterprise that controls our country today. The main stream press continues to propegate the myth to "support our troops" in an effort to continue to recruite, and dupe, our fine, young children. They are duped into believing the cause is just, moral, and patriotic. They are blind to the fact that they are paid, international enforcers for the Corporate Machine. They come to realize, too late, that, once the Corporate Machine has no further use for their service, they are cast into an abyss of neglect, homelesness, physical and emotional trauma, and an alleged system of assistance that is designed with a maze to discourage a Veteran from obtaining the benefits they have earned. I spent almost four decades fighting for my earned benefits, and, when I thought I finaly won the battle, the Corporate machine exercised its unlawful arm to steal these benefits back,its way of "Thanking me for my service". Today, I am "thanked for my service" from a plethora of sources. Again, a masterful marketing hype. Thank you chants that ring as hollow as an echo in the Grand Canyon and as empty as the account I set up with JPMorgan Chase Bank, an account I thought was inviolate to unlawful, racketeering action.
