Dear Secretary Bessent @SecScottBessent,
My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov.
The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank’s profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison.
I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return.
I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something.
Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act.
Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with “America” in its name. And once again, not one individual charged.
Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working.
A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats.
This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried.
There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go.
Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: “Justice is the defense of our liberty.” I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel’s money should be standing next to him.
I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them.
This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one.
Three things would change the math overnight.
Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury’s history combined.
End “too big to jail.” An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one.
And if Bank of America will not act as America’s bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them.
Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine.
I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it.
Respectfully,
Everett A. Stern

Now the truth finally comes out that the state of New York wants the Amish people‘s properties and land so they can build their data centers. How disgusting 🤮
 The Amish of Central New York told the seditious Governor Kathy Hochul they would pack up, abandon their farms and leave if the Governor tried forcing vaccines on their children. The Governor fined them over $100,000 and demanded they comply anyway.
When the Amish decided to fight back, taking the wicked Governor to court, Hochul's minion Senator Fahy drew up even more legislation to pressure them to leave, attacking their children again, this time through an anti-homeschooling bill.
Tens of thousands of acres of cleared Amish farmland are at stake. The Amish have spent decades clearing their land by hand and horse. The hard work has been done.
But if the Governor has her way, the Amish will be forced to sell that cleared land to the solar farms and data centers knocking on the doors for it.
Who will help the Amish stand up to this maniacal Governor? We need to expose this on social media and we need to get the right people involved to represent the Amish and help them fight This evil demonic power and control of New York. 
Can President Trump PLEASE give the Presidential Medal of Freedom to the Amish for their amazing work rebuilding Western North Carolina?
They have literally rebuilt HUNDREDS of bridges, homes, businesses, and roads... and are STILL HERE HELPING!!!!!
No group deserves it more.
Just watched Primetime (the Chris Hansen film) and it is unironically jewish character assassination; I’m not kidding.
The movie spends most of its runtime depicting Hansen as an unhinged, neurotic freak—as a bad guy. It even makes the viewer ask if Hansen himself is perverted.
The moment I realized it was a total hit job was a scene where Robert Pattinson’s Hansen has a mental breakdown in front of a JEWISH RABBI he’s interviewing, making a literal pedophilic rabbi look like the sane one.
If you’ve seen the series, the movie ends the same way the show does: with a pedophilic district attorney k*lling himself… And the director actually tries to make you feel bad about it, basically saying “Hey, this pedophile would still be alive if it wasn’t for Chris Hansen.”
Save your shekels, don’t go see it.
CNN & BBC Viewers had a shock this week - turning on the News and hearing US Director of Health RFK Jnr - confirm the Trump Administration “would investigate the effects of Chemtrails”
So just in case you’re new to this, and only catching up - here is what they have been spraying on us all, all this time.
🇻🇳 Meanwhile in Vietnam
What real Environmentalism looks like.
India has over a Billion people living there - just imagine if 5% of their population started tidying the Country up….
Insane!!
Diesel in central Florida is almost $7 dollars!!
This is all Trump’s fault!
We did not vote for this.
We shouldn’t pay taxes to a government that ruins our lives.
🚨#BREAKING: A father in Amarillo, Texas says he had to MOVE WHERE HIS KIDS SLEEP because a police officer used the city's Flock cameras to STALK him 76 TIMES over a woman the officer wanted for himself...
...prosecutors only gave the cop a MISDEMEANOR and a $4,500 bond.
This is Amarillo, Texas, the officer's name is Christian Eder.
Eder had a thing for a female officer. That officer had once dated a local dad. So Eder went hunting.
From February to June, he ran that father's license plate through the city's FLOCK cameras 76 times. Every gas station. Every school pickup. Every daycare run.
Police confirm there was NO case at all, no assignment.
When the system asked him why, he typed "city planning." and dozens of times, just one word: "want."
The victim's words: "I'm a creature of habit. I pick my kids up from the same school, the same daycare. It hit me: this guy knows exactly which way I go."
The father said he knew something was wrong when he walked out to his car at 1 a.m. and saw a MARKED PATROL UNIT crawling through his parking lot behind him.
He texted Eder and asked him to stop and here's the reply, word for word:
"lol, tough guy. Whatever y'all got going on is between y'all. Keep it that way. Have fun, my dude." 😉
He says Eder used his department phone to pull up the female officer's LIVE body camera feed to track her and the county attorney told him the department said that wasn't unusual.
So this man did everything right. He went to Internal Affairs. The department investigated and to their credit, they fired Eder.
Then the system took over, and it protected the cop.
Prosecutors REFUSED to file felony stalking charges.
Instead: 78 counts of "tampering with a government record." A misdemeanor.
One $4,500 bond for all of it.
Think that's not enough? Here's the part that will make you sick.
Under Texas law, the "victim" of that charge is... the City of Amarillo. Not the father. Not his kids.
He was told he might not even qualify for victim services.
"How, all of a sudden, am I not the victim?"
He asked police for a description of Eder's personal vehicles so he could watch for him. They said no.
The stalker has every piece of his information, but the dad... he isn't allowed to know what car to look for.
"I've had to change where my kids sleep in my house. I've had to change everything."
The chief admitted to City Council that officers could run these cameras off-duty on their WORK PHONES, with no alerts for high-volume searches, and the department's audit never flagged 76 hits on one plate.
The only reason we know about this one is that the target found out.
THIS IS PURE INSANITY!!!!!!!
This is INSANITY… Lindsay Clancy jurors has just SPOKEN OUT over her frustration with the lone holdout:
"He had the hardest time getting off the fact that Lindsay viciously killed her children."
HOW IS THIS REAL?!?!
Over 200,000 people have now ERUPTED over the @Parodyjeffx suspension.
This isn’t dying down. It’s getting BIGGER.
@elonmusk@allegrajacchia, listen to your own users.

@PollTracker2024 Forcing American students to support Israel under the threat of losing their financial aid is a clear violation of our 1st Amendment Rights and blatant fascism.
Everyone hates data centers and Americans are packing out city halls and county commissioners meetings trying to stop data centers from being built.
They consume the land and steal the water and creates noise pollution that drives people and animals insane, while creating very few permanent jobs past the construction phase.
If Trump wants data centers build them on all his golf courses and country clubs and right in the backyard at Maralago!!
Good luck winning the midterms now that MAGA means mass data centers, flock cameras and the surveillance state, protecting the Epstein class, and the never ending Iran War!!
