WHO ARE THE BRAIN POLICE?

The amount of efluent that citizens are expected to swallow from the major banks has, over the last few years, increased beyond all reason. We still remember the Wells Fargo exec who used a foreclosed beach house in Malibu as her personal party pad. But when Citibank – and maybe other major banks for all we know – start conducting totalitarian lifestyle investigations of their customers, and essentially blacklisting anyone whose beliefs and opinions they don’t like, the time for rising up angry has to be at hand. The banks have come close to ruining us all with their insane financial abstractions. They were rewarded with corporate socialism on the taxpayers tab, and now, in their extraordinary arrogance, think they can get in the Big Brother business. I suppose it’s possible the Godlberg got snippy with a bank official but that’s hardly an excuse. The following report is lifted from the excellent World of Wonder…

“You can bank on it. Jason Goldberg, founder and CEO of Fabulis, a website geared to gay men, has had his bank account blocked by someone at Citibank after the institution reviewed Goldberg's blog and found that the "content was not in compliance with Citibank’s standard policies." Frustrated, confounded and not a little angry, Goldberg says that "for the life of us we can’t find anything 'objectionable' on our blog besides some good humor, some business insights, and some touching coming out stories from some great and fabulis gay people." Of course, the real question here is why the F is Citibank reviewing customers' blogs for content? An account manager says the review is standard procedure. The bank is currently re-reviewing Goldberg's blog, but the blogger says that no matter what the upshot of that review is, he's switching banks. Follow his blog for developments. You can bank on it.
