More recalls from this year - Link to post (little past midway) and link to post (little past beginning).

CHASE CHECKING ACCOUNT

Screenshots above: Did my routine check for fraud in my checking account. First screenshot is malware followed by harassment. The last screenshot shows a monthly service fee that’s only happened since 2020. Other banks’ BBB complaints confirm the service fee is random and arbitrary. When I called Chase about it a couple months ago—the call was uploaded to deleted YT channel—I was refunded the $12., which doesn't make sense. It’s either mandatory or not.

NAILS

Screenshot above: What the long, impractical nails that have saturated social media symbolize more than anything else are hands that don't have to work. When they're that long with tiny rhinestones and glitter on them with finely detailed words and pictures, taking a long time to do, to dry, and then the maintenance they’re hands that can’t break a nail, ie don’t have to work.

NYPD & GANG DATABASE

Screenshots above: Second to last image is from one of the gang member’s social media. They actually post pictures like that online, along with wads of stolen and defrauded money, bling, sneakers, etc. It's part of the criminal culture for street cred. But if we call it a crime, we're racists.

Thanks to the Gang Database that NYPD created to keep track of all the gang members and their crimes, NYPD was able to do its job and make streets safer for the public. The idea that the Gang Database is racial profiling because all the gang members are black/brown is the criminals' signature victimization of twisting things around to suit them. I created my own database of scams and fraud, and I surmise that it's mostly POC who are the criminals going by influenced critical infrastructure where the scams and frauds occur, along with that the majority of news clips on similar crimes are committed by POC. That’s not racism, that’s documenting what’s happening to me in my effort to defend myself, and so is NYPD when it’s keeping track of gang members and their crimes. Because of the sheer volume of fraud and terrorism assaulting me daily, organization is key and when documenting it all, it just so turns out to be a database-like format. It helps me to take control of what would otherwise be overwhelming chaos; moreover, it helps me to fight back by noticing the patterns which I then call out using the very same platform the criminals use to carry out their illicit endeavors, the internet. No one told the criminals to do what they’re doing, no one made them do the crimes; they chose to do it. Once NYPD does its job to make the streets safer from gang violence or I defend myself from the terrorism and fraud happening to me, criminals conveniently want to pull the race card.

When I went to all-white school in the suburbs, there was no metal detector, but there was at the inner city school. That's not racism. There's a need for a metal detector at one school while not the other because students are violent at one school and not the other. Common sense. The violence is cultural that begins in the home environment, not society. People of color seem to normalize violence even with each other so that it’s not uncommon to hear of a rapper who physically assaults his girlfriend, or a mother who hits her child, or even murdered her child. But then they have the nerve to tell the rest of us BLM. Tell it to each other, and while at it, include All Lives Matter. The Gang Database isn’t racism, not when many NYPD officers are people of color.

I ran away from the adoptive couple when I was a teenager, no way would I ever tolerate being mistreated as an adult, and it makes me enraged and sick to my stomach that strangers would think I would passively allow them to defraud, oppress, harass, and violate me on my own devices that I paid for and pay a monthly service to use. From my own bedroom. Not going down without a fight.

NY - OTHER CRIMES

Screenshots above: A man was caught with 45 stolen credit cards on him. A subway stairway attack with hammer. A Chinese council woman was shockingly pardoned (except not really, considering the corruption is out of control) for biting NYPD officer's ear causing it to bleed.

GANGS & ROOSEVELT AVENUE

Screenshots above: Roosevelt Avenue is in Queens, where I live, though in Astoria. Astoria isn’t as bad as Roosevelt Avenue, but it’s still criminally infiltrated, especially with the businesses.

CRIMINAL DEPORTATIONS

OTHER CRIMES

INSTAGRAM - BLACK GIRL SUNSCREEN

Screenshot above: Screenshot was taken from Black Girl's Sunscreen's Instagram. No offense, but it’s not how I would expect a business to market itself as more of a news clip I post of fraudsters and scammers who post their scores online. There's more than one post like this. Treat consumers with respect. Don't reduce them to fiends for the dollar.

DOORBELL HARASSMENT

INSTAGRAM - AMERICAN GIRL DOLLS

*All images are from businesses, brands, non profits, government entities, schools/academia.

Screenshots above: Here's how American Girl Dolls's Instagram appears.

For the most part, people-of-color dolls show with only people-of-color dolls; and the people-of-color dolls appear not to be American at all, but wholly another culture as though extracted from that culture's own dolls’ Instagram page and placed on American Dolls. Wrong message. Realistically speaking, if a young foreigner enters the U.S. she will adopt some aspects of American culture. It makes more sense to present the doll as having some American qualities than none at all. This isn’t the Instagram account of “Learn New Cultures and Languages”, it’s American Girl dolls Instagram account. To instill a “stick with your own kind” mindset to young impressionable minds, to me, an international adoptee, is wrong, and I wouldn’t want my kid to be exposed to that. When I was a kid in all-white suburb, I played with all white dolls, and not once did I think anything of it because my mind didn’t at all think like that. I never thought to myself, Why doesn’t she look like me? I can’t play with her because she doesn’t look like me. I didn’t say that about a doll, a person, or a parent. I only knew that they were people like myself.

Screenshots above: This is the first time I'm seeing the black doll "Claudie". She comes with a halo/crown on her head wearing a cape. In gold. That's not American, that's delusion. Second shows the black doll the center of attention.

INSTAGRAM - BRAND SNEAKERS

*The sneakers aren’t from personal accounts or from clothing stores but from brands, businesses, non profits, government entities, schools/academia. I don’t take images from personal accounts in any of the documentation. Captions show this, along with clicking on the image that shows where it’s from. Some sneakers are customized to an artist, athlete, entrepreneur, celebrity.

SAFARI

Screenshots above: Compromised passwords and 126 trackers.

INSTAGRAM - VENMO

Screenshots above: Payment services’ Instagrams, like UPS’s and FedEx’s, have many comments on scams and locked out accounts. And that's probably with the comments restricted.

INSTAGRAM - WALGREENS

Screenshots above: I again point out that Americans shouldn't have to change their own identities and way of life for migrants, and that it's more on the migrants to acclimate to their new country and culture. Immigrants who came to the U.S. throughout its history have adapted to their new land without expecting Americans to change their own identities to fit with theirs or learn their language, which would be impossible for the amount of people who come to the U.S. from all over the world.

Screenshots above: Their other signature touches on Walgreens's Instagram. Trans. “Body diversity.” LGBTQ+. Tattoos.

NYX COSMETICS

Screenshots above: Nyx cosmetics sold at Target, Walgreens, Walmart and the like, has partnerships with Minecraft the movie and Poppi that was recently bought by Pepsi Co for $1.95B.

Screenshots above: Nyx cosmetics has a very young base of followers. It's affordable for young people as a drug store brand. It has many LGBTQ+ and trans images on its Instagram as though it were a brand for that sub culture, like drag queen makeup, but it's actually a regular cosmetics line. To me, it’s weird to see two audiences, young people and drag queen/trans/LGBTQ+, combined as one marketing target. I see them as two separate markets, but Nyx is treating them as one, as though it’s trying to merge the two together.

ROKU AD - MARSHALLS

Screenshots above: This Marshall's ad showed on Roku. I only noticed it for the rollerskating part. This ad is an excellent example of the criminal influence. The ad is called "quality obsessed" and begins by showing handbags of what looks to be in Europe, probably somewhere that makes leather, like Italy. A close-up of a European car shows the license plate "Hustlin”; another shot is on rollerskating. Rollerskating is a constant theme on Instagram — Link to video. Other examples of rollerskates - Link to post (midway).
