Ive suspected this for a LONG LONG time, big corporate banks. shame on them. i wonder now, are those 2 banks going to be held accountable? or are they going to simply get a slap on the hand? franny n may,k the other 4 big banks got enormous tax payers bailout moneyk, and now, 2 of them dealing with drugs/narcotics. what a professional buisnesss image they are all shopwing the world. VERY unprofessional
This makes me think of a documentary i saw other night, about steroids being used in sports. Arnold schwarzennegar was amongst those usng steroids. Arnold said in a speec, if you obey the law, and do what yuor supopsed to do, yuo can go far in this country* thats not the truth, and you and 'they' know it. in order to get ahead you have to break the rules* its kinda olike working a job or 2, you will NEVER get ahead unless yuor your own boss and own the place at least. Or..yuo can hide drugs and money in big banks like Wachovia and watch yuor interest grow

What they should be teaching students in buisness classes in colleges and the like, is how to make sucessful ponzi scheme* becuase in reality thats what its all about, sad but true...not how to delegate and hire people to work, which is what their suposed to be doing..thier hiring team players* in other words, those willing to go down with the ship when their cover is blown...that is corporate buisness american style*

Well, Wachovia isn't even around anymore. Wells Fargo has been left to clean up their mess. Wachovia is now a "Wells Fargo" company.

And, all in all, as far as banks go, Wells Fargo has a decent reputation. Wachovia used to be a good bank, until First Union took them over and kept the Wachovia name because First Union had such a bad reputation for sleaziness.

By deliberately and purposely targeting the Mexican wire transfer business -- hoping to capitalize on all of the funds being shipped by workers to Mexico, Wachovia recklessly disregarded the advice of the government to stay out of this line of banking business. So, yes, the managers that made those decisions, should be held accountable.

But, again, I ask you, if you are a teller at a bank, and Joe Mexico wants to wire funds from your branch in Phoenix to Aunt Louisa in Mexico City, is that a crime? What if he's really sending drug money? What if he's not? That's the dilemma banks face every day. Do we report this? Or do we turn a blind eye? Banks are obligated to report suspicious wire transfers, by the way.

But then, on this same forum, you will hear people whine and complain as to HOW intrusive the banks can be, how they act like "Big Brother" and all the rest. You can't have it both ways. You can't have banks turning a blind eye to criminality, and then complain about wire transfers to drug cartels. Alternatively, you can't have banks report suspicious behavior, and then label the banks as playing Big Brother and being all intrusive.

I owe them like 300 bones or something, and I really dont think I should pay the pieces of crap back. I know my money will go to the drug dealers and cartel now. screw them

I imagine laundering drug money is highly profitable.

Chances are pretty good that a great deal of the finance sector launders drug money regularly.

This documents the ever growing irrelevance of government and the concept of the state governing individuals.
We are sliding into a feudal corpratocracy and the individual is only a unit of production/consumption.
It was learned through history that actually owning the slave was costly. So this system has been cultivated to make the slave not only pay it's own way but also pay for the right to pay their own way.
The irony struck me hardest when as a child I realized we GIVE healthcare to our food, yet charge the consumer of the food for the same and at a high premium.
I wonder what thinking person is the least shocked? Who among us has not pondered how all those billions in drug money is legitimized?
"hey senator X there is a convoy of armored cars delivering our agreed contribution"
It has ALWAYS been a dirty, unfair exploitation of power since we gathered into societies. That this is finally being broached should be suspect of another agenda entirely. One might suspect a feigned investigation and perhaps more of those funds going in other directions but business to remain the same.

Ya this problem is not going to be ultimately solved by any governing entity, but they as a tool for any agenda for profit or against profit of drugs will prove useful in some ways, so these systems are not all useless, but it is pretty much just a tool to get rich thats all, this is not new everybody from the dude on the street to aliens in alpha centauri know this. The first thing one should due is legalize drugs to displace the wealth aspect of it, it's not in humanity power to get rid of drugs or stay off them, so might as well control it better or let it control you and all those other kids into a early grave, just as those in power are doing they don't have the power to stop or create anything but because of there is a sucker born a minute they have a vested interest to keeping you stupid, uninformed, and a sheep, and most of them think they are doing you a service the fact stands they have found a gold mine not by there own making and are exploiting it for all they can, by way of the war on drugs or whatever you want to call it because it will change its names. This monopoly by beaurocracy's to this cash crop government, banks, alphabetical institutions are all bureaucracy were the money goes the people will follow, and lets be honest none of us are above this system called life on earth, and it is a monetery system the world will revolve around the lowest comon denominator that is known ie "money" forget gravity we havent evolved enough for that yet, in society's "money" is gravity and like any force out of human perspective and power, eventually it will crush you if you pass the event horizon ie laws meant to keep the systems most basic element in play its gravity/money. Yes this to was created by humans, the origin is the very thing keeping it in power, and that is that "people like there drugs" and are willing to put large amounts of cash out for it, and the profiteers will not tell you or teach you that most of this stuff one can make or grow at home, there is no money in that. If there is no market there is no one getting rich off it, banks, government and alphabetical's such as the cia are all just institutions revolving around there gravity/money the thing that keeps them tied to this world, what else would they do, what else was expected of them realistically "contact aliens", they can't event leave this basic reality of gravity keeping them in place much less all that other stuff, Mulder and Scully do. And lets not forget the american dream drugs, sex, and rock and roll, and being the big shot like in those movies like the godfather and casino. You know people are always surprised when they I tell them I never watched the godfather movies only clips of them that would add up to about 20 min, they even don't believe me that I fell asleep during those movies because they were boring. Dam Hollywood needs to start making some good movies. Now im beginning to go off subject /end communication.

Here we go with another game of "Ain't it Awful!"

Seriously, when psychopaths run the world what else do you expect?
Until we can readily identify and render them harmless, we're all screwed.

James 5:1-6, "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that
shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against
you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for
the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields,
which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped
are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the
earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you."

A Day of Reckoning is coming...

Drug money laundering on top of laundering all sorts of other money obtained from illegal sources no doubt. Just like the federal government does when they spend that money from taxes on illegal immigrants. Money they "claim" not to be able to trace the source of. Our country's being run by the mob.

Bank of America, who would have guessed! I wonder what the PTB would do if we all stood together, turned our backs on the BWO (Banking World Order) by quitting our jobs and going back to the tribal system and bartering. Wonder what kind of world we'd be left with, because without the work we do to make them money, they'd be up the creek, I'm just saying......

I find it very frustrating that people have been fooled into believing there is nothing they can do, and that they can't influence government, when you would be surprised at how effective a letter to your congressional rep can be.

You are right. The idea that the government is useless is propaganda. The big push is toward political apathy. They would not be pushing apathy if politics were meaningless altogether.

They do not want to have to take our government by force. This would expose them to us. And open the door to us eliminating them. They want to take the government by a slow process of erosion of rights, and our sovereignty. Then we have no one to blame but each other, which works very well for them.

What would also work very well for them is to incite us against our own government and have us start a rebellion. Which would give them the perfect opportunity to accelerate their time line and seize power forcefully in the guise of "protecting us" against domestic terrorists. A coup that would give them absolute power, a scapegoat, and popular support, at least initially, until they refused to relinquish control.

Using our system is the only viable means to take control. It can be done, it should be done. Legitimately. What this requires is concerted effort on the part of individuals to get third party candidates elected, asap. And begin dismantling the behind the scenes powers. I doubt they will go easily, and I suspect there will be a fight, but when and if they attempt a real coup, we need our military on our side, acting for our government and the people. Not against us.

My two cents.
