The extent of the fraud against retailers, against business owners (which includes major corporations), wholesalers, in fact every single business that accepts credit cards is so vast that it defies estimates and description.  It goes far beyond my limited capabilities to truly document it, to do a proper historical research, to come up with facts and figures year by year, to do little more than to continue to raise the alarm, to alert those who are in a better position than I to write books and articles of a professional nature that will awaken the nation and the world to the economic implications of this scheme that victimizes and dehumanizes all of us, but enriches the international banking industry to the tune of hundreds of billions, even trillions of dollars.

All I can do is the same as that child in the fable about the King who had no clothes, just say out loud, "The King doesn't have any clothes on.  The King has no clothes!"

Yes, the Banking Industry in a conspiracy with the Credit Card Industry is defrauding us with a scheme that includes bribery, in which the mainstay of the whole scheme is simple bribery and nothing more, that we are being bamboozled, cheated and swindled with a simple small device made of plastic.

Obviously the pattern for this swindle came from business-building devices of a premium nature, such as Green Stamps and Blue Chip Stamps, which were paid for and handed out by retailers, who paid the costs of the program and handled the distribution themselves.  A gift?  A premium?  Sure, that is all legitimate and it helps to bring in new customers, or creates a customer loyalty that helps build stronger client bases for the businesses involved.

I am going to list below companies, both large and small, from one end of the country to the other, who are being made, involuntarily dupes of this scheme by the Credit Card Cartel. 

As unsuspecting and involuntary dupes, they lend credence to the legitimacy of the scheme and unwittingly aid the Credit Card Cartel in victimizing other retailers, wholesalers and consumers as well.  They take away the option of "choice" from the business owners, impose restrictions upon the businesses, and take control of refunds and complaints, often to the detriment of small businesses.  With no investment they become silent partners and arbiters, both judge and jury, while steadily eating into the profits of all businesses accepting plastic from them.  They aid crooks in frauds against businesses, as well as supporting criminal enterprises in perpertrating such frauds.
