Gay Activist Bank Wells Fargo Scammed Customers

Susan Stamper Brown resides in Alaska and writes about culture, politics and current events.

If Wells Fargo was focused on bank charges and interest rates rather than political hot button issues, perhaps they wouldn't have had to fire thousands of employees for ripping off customers and be liable for millions in fines.

In a recent press release, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau [CFPB] recounted that Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. will pay "the largest penalty the CFPB has ever imposed," $185 million, because thousands of Wells Fargo employees "covertly" opened "more than two million deposit and credit card accounts," transferring funds from consumers' authorized accounts without their knowledge or consent, often racking up fees or other charges."

The press release says the employees who engaged in this "widespread illegal practice" were "spurred by sales targets and compensation incentives."

"Spurred" is a little mild, considering that CNN Money reports that a "pressure cooker environment" at Wells Fargo resulted in employees engaging "in all kinds of sordid practices."
Specifically, approximately 5,300 employees may have opened roughly 1.5 million deposit accounts, transferring funds from consumers' accounts to temporarily fund the new, unauthorized accounts. The CFPB reports that consumers were "sometimes harmed" from insufficient funds or overdraft charges. But it seems it was a win-win for Wells Fargo for those actions apparently helped the bank meet sales goals and also helped employees earn additional compensation.

Additionally, CFPB says employees applied for "roughly 565,000 credit card accounts that may not have been authorized by consumers, leading to "incurred annual fees, as well as associated finance or interest charges and other fees." They also issued and activated debit cards and created PIN numbers and fake email addresses to enroll unaware consumers in online-banking services.
All this, while Wells Fargo was simultaneously shoving social issues down consumers' throats as they've done for years.

Last year, in response to an advertisement featuring a lesbian couple, noteworthy Evangelicals like Franklin Graham said they'd had enough and closed out their accounts. Nonetheless, Wells Fargo remained resolute in its activist stance and has the right to do so.
But individuals also have the right to put their money in banks that leave what people do in the bedroom out of the boardroom.

During an interview in 2015 with the San Francisco Business Times, Wells Fargo executive Doug Case said, "… our CEO John Stumpf very frequently will talk about LGBT inclusiveness and, talk about walking the talk …"
Walking the talk? Sure, Wells Fargo repeatedly receives high rankings from the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBT advocacy group and political lobbying organization in the United States, the bank's latest scam is just one in a "string of infractions," reports USA Today. Wells Fargo "faced or settled four key areas of litigation as of the end of 2015" including FHA insurance claims, Visa and MasterCard interchange fees, mortgage products, and order of posting (overdraft) fees.
So why not try walking the bank talk? Obviously, Wells Fargo has lost its focus.

It is easy to do. But when a distraction sidetracks your purpose something's got to give. Wells Fargo's forgotten that a bank is not a social experimentation petri dish. It is a financial institution … a bank. Banks lend and borrow money and accept customers' deposits and pay interest in return. Then they use those funds to lend to other customers. Pure and simple.
Given that 5,300 employees, not just a handful of bad actors, were fired for what boils down to identity theft for profit, Wells Fargo would be better served serving its purpose, rather than investing time and energy bartering in social and political activism.

¿Por qué el odio contra la madre Teresa de Calcuta?

Daniel Rodríguez Herrera

Existe para buena parte de la izquierda un único mandamiento. Naturalmente, no tiene nada que ver con el cristiano ni con amar a Dios o al prójimo de ninguna de las maneras. Es algo mucho más simple y onanista: Si eres de izquierdas, eres buena persona. De ahí se extrae un corolario igualmente simple: Si no eres de izquierdas, no puedes ser buena persona. Y aunque la lógica formal nos enseñe que ni partiendo de esa falsa premisa puede extraerse esa conclusión, lo cierto es que la lógica formal siempre ha tenido un papel muy escaso en la formación de las creencias políticas.

Como el mundo no suele encajar dentro de esquemas tan simples, estos progres se esfuerzan en meter la realidad dentro de su visión del mundo a martillazos. Este fin de semana, con motivo de la canonización de la Madre Teresa, pudimos ver en acción uno de ellos: la demonización de cualquier adversario, por más sagrado que pueda ser visto por la gente, siempre y cuando no se ajuste a su esquema mental. Como ejemplo, tanto los periódicos españoles izquierdistas Público y El País nos enseñaron lo “mala” que la Madre Teresa fue en realidad, entre otras cosas por ser católica y estar en contra del aborto. Y, naturalmente, el aquelarre de las redes sociales lo amplificó.

Teresa de Calcuta fue una persona real, y como tal tuvo luces y sombras, claro que sí. Pero es curioso que sólo pongan la lupa en alguien que, pareciendo la más pura definición de buena persona, al mismo tiempo es difícil encajar como militante izquierdista. Por poner un ejemplo, si buscan algo parecido a “El lado oscuro de Nelson Mandela” en estos mismos medios, no encontrarán nada. Porque a Mandela, mal que bien, sí lo podían colocar dentro de la izquierda política, y por tanto tenía permiso para ser buena persona, pese a que, como todo ser humano de carne y hueso, tuviera sus luces y sus sombras.

Así, no nos puede sorprender que llamen a la Madre Teresa “puto cacahuete miserable”. Porque lo esencial no es lo que se diga o haga, sino la pertenencia a la secta. Y la monja albanesa consagró, con mayor o menor acierto, su vida a los demás sin pasar por ese trago izquierdista. Así es difícil mantener la ficción de que la Iglesia no es más que un nido de pederastas. Normal que quienes se creen buenos por tener las ideas “correctas” sin necesidad de mover un dedo por el prójimo busquen la excusa que sea para condenarla. Lo que sea con tal de seguir viviendo en su complaciente océano de autosatisfacción moral.

Belgium euthanizes first minor child under new law

By Cassy Fiano | September 18, 2016 , 08:49pm

Two years ago, Belgium’s King Philippe signed into law a bill that allowed children to be euthanized. It was a controversial move, one that drew international condemnation, including from the American Academy of Pediatrics. After the bill became law, any child could legally be euthanized, if they asked to be and had parental consent.

Children did not need to be terminally ill; they only needed to be “in great pain” and for there to be no available treatment. Defenders of the bill point to the requirement of approval from both doctors and psychiatrists as proof that the law is fair and safe — yet the entire reason the bill was passed to begin with was because children were already being euthanized in Belgium. Instead of prosecuting the doctors who were illegally euthanizing children, Belgium just made it legal.
And Belgium has just euthanized their first child.

The identity of the child has been kept private, but the child was reportedly a 17-year-old suffering from an incurable illness. The nature of the illness has also not been disclosed. A member of Belgium’s federal euthanasia commission confirmed that the child has been killed.

Wim Distelmans, a notorious Belgian doctor who euthanized a transgender man and blind twins and arranged an “inspiring” tour of Auschwitz, chairs Belgium’s Federal Control and Evaluation Committee on Euthanasia, and applauds the allowance of euthanasia for children. He admitted that few children had requested euthanasia, but “that does not mean we should deny them the right to a dignified death.” Belgian Senator Jean-Jacques De Gucht also spoke in favor of the child’s euthanasia. “I think it’s very important that we, as a society, have given the opportunity to those people to decide for themselves in what manner they cope with that situation,” he said.

Euthanasia has been legal in Belgium for 14 years now, and the number of people requesting assisted suicide has steadily risen each year, including among those who are not terminally ill. Belgium is the only country in the world that allows minor children of any age to be euthanized.

Paul Krugman’s Love Affair with France

• 

APRIL 27, 2015Louis Rouanet

TAGS Booms and BustsGlobal Economy

In recent years, Paul Krugman has incessantly defended France and its welfare state, even going so far as to pretend that the French economy was in fact in better shape than the British economy.According to him, “To an important extent, what ails France in 2014 is hypochondria, belief that it has illnesses it doesn’t.” However, except for some Keynesian propagandists, nobody believes that the French economy is not deeply in crisis and it is now more and more obvious that Krugman is wrong.

The UK, on the other hand, is growing faster than any other major advanced economy this year. Growth has picked up since the first quarter of 2013 to 2.6 percent in 2014 — a seven fold higher rate than for France — and employment in Britain, both in absolute terms and as a share of the adult population, has never been higher. Even wages, which were constantly depressed after the 2008 crisis, has begun to rise again.

As usual, British politicians took advantage of the British economy’s good performances to make fun of France. Chancellor Mr. Osborne has claimed: “And which county has created more jobs than the whole of France? The great county of Yorkshire,” after the latest UK jobs figures showed employment at a record high. David Cameron recently stated that “Labour will make us as bad as France.” French bashing is almost part of the British culture, it is true, but for now, the UK is indeed in better shape than France.

Fiscal Austerity vs. Spending Austerity

Since 2009, France and the UK have used opposing economic policies. France increased taxes and didn’t decrease government expenditures. The UK, on the other hand, decreased government expenditures but didn’t increase taxes. Between 2010 and 2013, the UK reduced its structural deficit by more than any other advanced economy (4.7 percent of GDP).

If you follow Krugman’s ideas, then this should suggest to you that there was less economic growth in the United Kingdom and more in France. Not very surprisingly, however, the exact opposite happened, and while the French economy stagnates, the UK has mounted an economic recovery.

Public spending in France is now more than eleven points of GDP higher than public spending in the UK. Taxes are also much higher in France and government regulations, particularly in the labor market, are not as problematic in the UK. Thus, it was easier for the structure of production to adapt itself after the crisis in UK than in France.

But while the public sector shrank in the UK, it expanded in France. Therefore, measuring economic progress via GDP — a deeply flawed strategy — underestimates the development of the British economy.

People who are forced to pay for public expenditures via taxation were not expressing actual preferences. Thus, as Dr. Salerno put it: “it is certainly true that a reduction in real government spending causes a reduction in real GDP, as it is officially calculated. But ... the reduction in government spending does not retard the growth of production of goods that satisfy consumer demands and, in fact, most likely accelerates it.”

But even if the French economy is as great as Paul Krugman says it is, why then are so many French leaving their country to cross the English Channel? When you want to know if an economy is thriving look how people vote with their feet. If Krugman had done that, he could have seen that it is mainly the French that are immigrating to London, and not the English to Paris. Indeed, the number of French immigrants in the UK has increased dramatically over the past twenty years. The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, likes to say that he is the mayor of the sixth largest French city in the world. There are now more than 200,000 French immigrants in London alone.

Of course, the UK is far from perfect. Public debt and deficits remain too high and much needs to be done, mainly in the very public British healthcare sector. Indeed, health care public spending is still rising — 4 percent in volume between 2010–2011 and 2014–2015. Moreover, the Bank of England has conducted an expansionary monetary policy which could lead to instability and further crisis. There could be, for example, a new real estate bubble in England in the works.

Krugman’s Data vs. Actual Data

On November 8, 2013, Krugman denounced the S&P decision to downgrade France:

I’m sorry, but I think that when S&P complains about lack of reform, it’s actually complaining that Hollande is raising, not cutting taxes on the wealthy, and in general isn’t free market enough to satisfy the Davos set.

Serge Abad-Gallardo estuvo en la masonería 24 años

Aborto, eutanasia, matrimonio gay... son leyes «preparadas en las logias», afirma un ex masón

Serge Abad-Gallardo estuvo recientemente en España para promocionar su libro.

Actualizado 28 abril 2015   Carmelo López-Arias / Aleteia

Muchas personas abandonan la masonería, pero muy pocas lo cuentan. Es el caso de Serge Abad-Gallardo, arquitecto francés que tiene ahora 60 años y pasó 24 como miembro de una de las obediencias más importantes de Francia, Derecho Humano. Su libro Por qué dejé de ser masón (LibrosLibres), publicado ahora en español, relata su apasionante experiencia. Tras su conversión al cristianismo (estaba bautizado, pero alejado de la Iglesia), percibió la incompatibilidad entre la religión católica y la ideología masónica y decidió irse. El proceso de vuelta a la fe resultó largo. -¿Por qué ingresó en la masonería? -Tenía la edad y la situación social ideales para la masonería: tenía 33 años y era alto funcionario municipal como director de urbanismo. Estaba alejado de la Iglesia y mi fe era bastante tibia. Un amigo que yo no sabía que era masón me propuso entrar. Me atrajo la curiosidad por los secretos que la masonería dice tener. -¿Cuándo empezó a ver o saber cosas que le desagradaban? -Al principio algunas palabras del ritual masónico (Rito Escocés Antiguo y Aceptado) me sugirieron una relación entre la masonería y la Iglesia. Por ejemplo, en la iniciación hay frases como “busca y encontrarás” o “llama y se te abrirá” que se encuentran en los Evangelios. Pero poco a poco me di cuenta de que su sentido no era el mismo. También escuché expresiones muy anticlericales. Eso no me gustó, pero me adapté, porque yo me encontraba lejos de la Iglesia. Además, en la masonería se hablaba mucho de fraternidad, pero me di cuenta de que detrás de esa “fraternidad” se encontraban algunos “arreglos” y luchas por el poder dentro de la misma masonería. Por último, cuando volví a la fe, comprendí las incompatibilidades entre el catolicismo y la masonería. -¿Cómo fue ese proceso de conversión? -¡Duró unos 9 años! Creo que Dios me dejó pasar tanto tiempo en el error de la masonería (24 años, hasta ser venerable maestro e ingresar en los altos grados) para que hoy ningún masón pueda decirme –como algunos lo han intentado, con mucha mala fe- que no comprendí nada. Pasé por varios estadios. Primero, como explico en el libro, tuve conciencia de la presencia de Cristo a mi lado. Esto empezó en 2002, cuando conocí a un padre franciscano cerca de Aix-en-Provence. Sus palabras al principio me parecieron masónicas y me gustaron porque pensaba que había una relación entre masonería y catolicismo, pero a medida que le iba escuchando comprendí que el sentido de esas palabras era fundamentalmente distinto. -¿Por ejemplo? -Cuando la masonería habla de “Luz”, habla de un “Conocimiento”, un saber esotérico, hermético y oculto. Mientras que aquel franciscano me hablaba de “Luz” como el amor de Dios por nosotros. Otro ejemplo: cuando la masonería dice “busca y encontrarás”, se trata de buscar por uno mismo y encontrar en uno mismo, es la palabra hermética masónica “V.I.T.R.I.O.L.” (Visita Interiorem Terrae Rectificando Invenies Occultum Lapidem: Visita el interior de la tierra y rectificando encontrarás la piedra oculta). Pero las palabras del Evangelio no significan nada de eso: significan que Dios nos busca antes incluso de que nosotros pensemos en buscarle a Él. Es Dios quien da el Amor al hombre, más que al revés. El amor del hombre es una imagen del Amor de Dios, Dios nos ha hecho a su imagen. ¡Todo esto no tiene nada que ver con la magia, el ocultismo o fórmulas simbólicas! Salí de este encuentro con el franciscano totalmente conmovido, y sentí la presencia de Cristo a mi lado. No podía imaginar que Él me amaba con ese Amor inmenso que ahora sí sentía. No hay palabras para expresarlo. -Pero aún no se convirtió del todo… -Empecé de nuevo a rezar, aunque no a ir a misa. Un día de 2005, en una época mala de mi vida, estaba en la capilla cuando Cristo me contestó. Fue una experiencia tremenda, casi me caigo del banco. Aun así, seguía resistiendo y no comprendía lo que Cristo esperaba de mí. -¿Qué pasó después? -En 2012 experimenté lo que podríamos llamar “el Mal”. Me encontré de frente a lo más negro del alma humana y ante la presencia del diablo en nuestras vidas con embrujos y magia. Puede parecer increíble, pero no tengo más remedio que contar las cosas como pasaron. El mundo se cerró para mí. En unos meses perdí mi empleo, mi buen sueldo, el chalet donde vivíamos, mi velero de doce metros, mi coche deportivo, mis amigos… Me sentía totalmente perdido y no hallaba respuestas en la masonería, que no podía contestar a la pregunta de por qué existe el mal en el mundo. Se me ocurrió pasar unos días de retiro en la abadía de Lagrasse, y allí, ante Cristo en la cruz, me puse a llorar y me di cuenta de que aquel Cristo lloraba conmigo. Ese amor fue como una luz. Pasé una semana con los monjes, y mi corazón se abrió ya totalmente al Amor de Cristo. Continue con el Articulo y el video The Globalization of Indifference and Violence Posted on Monday, April 27th, 2015 at 17:09. Written by Vox Cervi 1 Ever since the beginning of his papacy, Pope Francis has spoken out against the culture of “global indifference” that reigns in many of our societies. He has addressed the issue within the context of a wide variety of problems facing us today, for example the unspeakable drama of boat refugees crossing the Mediterranean and the untold numbers dying when trying to reach the shores of Europe in search of a better life. In his Lenten message the Holy Father commented: As long as I am relatively healthy and comfortable, I don’t think about those less well off. Today, this selfish attitude of indifference has taken on global proportions, to the extent that we can speak of a globalization of indifference. It is a problem which we, as Christians, need to confront. This is a problem we as Christians indeed must confront, because this indifference not only leads to loneliness and despair of those ignored, it also leads to new waves of violence coming out of our very own societies that claim to be peaceful, tolerant and democratic. The following example illustrates this point: the weekly newspaper “The Economist” reports in its April 18th-24th, 2015 issue that the top nine countries from which jihadists flow to Iraq and Syria are west European. What does this tell us about our Western societies? Despite the freedom and prosperity enjoyed by those in Europe, many thousands of young men and women from Europe are flocking eagerly to the Middle East to participate in ideologically inspired acts of hatred and brutal violence. Why do these young men and women choose violence and death over a relatively comfortable life in prosperous Europe, where mainstream society promises them instant pleasure and material bliss with the latest smartphone and a cradle to grave social welfare state? Aside from the many useful explanations sociologists and politicians may give us about radicalization of certain youths, there is a much more profound cause at work here, which is the institutionalization of indifference towards the good, the true and the beautiful. When a society and its laws become dependent on mere feelings, opinions and preferences, rather than the pursuit of what is right and the avoidance of what is wrong, emptiness and desperation are the logical consequences. This is the problem we Christians in Europe and other Western nations need to confront. We need to win back our youth for Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life. We cannot win young men and women back to Christ merely by doing good deeds, by being nice people, or by staying within the walls of our parishes and communities. It is important, but it is far too little. We need to go out, leave our comfort zones, and follow the Gospel call to “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Matthew 28, 20). We need to speak about the love of God the Father, in private and in public, and we need to show and proclaim at every suitable occasion that living a life in Christ is good, and beautiful, and true – even if at times quite a challenge (but we all know that noting truly good and lasting comes easy). As Pope Francis says, we should not be afraid of being rejected but rather be assured that God’s love will redeem the world: God is not indifferent to our world; he so loves it that he gave his Son for our salvation. In the Incarnation, in the earthly life, death, and resurrection of the Son of God, the gate between God and man, between heaven and earth, opens once for all. The Church is like the hand holding open this gate, thanks to her proclamation of God’s word, her celebration of the sacraments and her witness of the faith which works through love (cf. Gal 5:6). But the world tends to withdraw into itself and shut that door through which God comes into the world and the world comes to him. Hence the hand, which is the Church, must never be surprised if it is rejected, crushed and wounded. He then concludes this thought by reminding us that “God’s people, then, need this interior renewal, lest we become indifferent and withdraw into ourselves”. When we Christians withdraw into ourselves and become indifferent to what happens in the world, we risk becoming silent bystanders of the many grave injustices that take place around us every day, near and far. Many courageous Christians are giving the example by their initiatives to spread the Gospel and do good around the world, others even by their martyrdom. But so much more witness is needed, especially to turn the ever growing tide of institutionalized indifference towards the sanctity of life; whether it be the life of the unborn, the elderly, the refugees or fellow human beings professing a different faith. Christ died on the Cross and rose from the dead out of love for every human being to be redeemed and to live. The makers of this video show how radical Christ’s love – and thus ours – needs to be.
