Obama Above the Law: Operation Choke Point

This post starts a new list of offenses by the President and the Obama Administration, in which they ignore existing law, or bypass Congress by means of executive orders, or simply just proceed with their ideology by means of administrative fiat.

First up is Operation Choke Point, in which the Administration and DOJ attempt to choke off (read: destroy) third party payment processors, payday lenders, and online lenders.  Also frightening, there is intimidation of banks to make it difficult for small vendors in businesses that the DOJ sees as "not socially acceptable" to use credit card services.  Such businesses include firearms and ammunition sellers, 

"The operation is headed by political operatives and career bureaucrats at the Department of Justice, the FDIC, and the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ("CFPB"). It appears to be the latest example of the Obama administration's successful efforts to weaponize the apparatus of the federal government against people and industries it opposes ideologically."

And here see the full text of an article from which the following scary quote emanates:  Obamas-operation-choke-point-plan-create-more-federal-dependency

"As we see it, “Operation Choke Point” is part of Obama’s long term plan to remake American society by killing-off any inclination to be self-sufficient among America’s working poor, who are the primary users and beneficiaries of short-term lending."
