North Carolina businessman Brennan Appel found his successful company caught in the crosshairs of a murky U.S. Department of Justice initiative targeting merchants that donāt fit into the Obama administrationās idea of what an American business ought to be.
Appel, owner of Global Hookah Distributors, which sells tobacco and smoking-related products, says heās the victim of Operation Choke Point, a shadowy, multi-agency effort ostensibly aimed at going after unlawful consumer fraud by āchokingā off access to banking systems.
It appears the DOJ attempted to strangle Appelās company, and itās happening to good citizens and business owners all over the country in the name of āconsumer protection,ā according to the public interest group that has been shining a light on the stories of government abuse.
āWeāre looking at one of the most prolific abuses of power this (Obama) administration has been a part of,ā said Brian Wise, senior adviser to the U.S. Consumer Coalition, which bills itself as a āgrassroots organization that works to protect consumersā right to access free-market goods and services.ā
Operation Choke Point, Wise said, has served to limit consumer access as it harasses and interferes with legitimate businesses.
USCC knows of more than 100 cases of victims targeted by the DOJ, but the organization is confident that there are thousands more under assault.
āWe know this because we have talked to bank executives who are intimately familiar with this issue and in a lot of cases have made the decision to shut down these accounts,ā Wise said.
Yo, these Un-American Rats need Jail Time!!!
