Jews Offer Credit Challenged 79.9% Rate!

79.9 percent rate targets credit-challenged

Gordon Hageman (http://www.nbcsandiego.com/topics?topic=Gordon+Hageman) couldn’t believe the credit card offer he got in the mail.
"My first thought, it was a mistake," Hageman said.
The wine distributor called the number on the offer, gave them the offer code and verified his information. Sure enough, it was right: the pre-approved credit card came with a 79.9 percent APR.

Yes, 79.9 percent.

The offer is for a Premier card from First Premier Bank, which is based in South Dakota. On its Web site, First Premier says it is the country's 10th largest issuer of Visa and MasterCard (http://www.nbcsandiego.com/topics?topic=MasterCard+Inc.) credit cards. The site also says it "focuses on individuals who have less than perfect credit but are actually still creditworthy."

"I think they’re trying to take advantage of me," said Hageman.
Ya think?

Hageman acknowleged that his credit isn't perfect, but he said it's about average. He said the pre-approved offer didn’t mention the actual interest rate on the card -- for that, he had to read the enclosed fine-print disclosure.

"I think you’re beginning to border on deception there," San Diego State (http://www.nbcsandiego.com/topics?topic=San+Diego+State+University) marketing professor Michael Belch (http://www.nbcsandiego.com/topics?topic=Michael+Belch) said.

Belch said the card is offering a bad deal to people who are desperate.
"They're just finding different ways to gouge the consumer," Belch said.
The California Attorney General (http://www.nbcsandiego.com/topics?topic=California+Office+of+the+Attorney+General)'s office said there's nothing it can do about the cards since they are issued out of state and out of its jurisdiction.
A spokesman with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) said interest rate limits on bank cards are set by the individual state and not on a federal level. According to information on the South Dakota Legislative Web site, there is "no maximum or usury restriction." In other words, the individual bank can set its own interest rate limits.

Several calls made to First Premier for a comment were not returned.

Not that hard to believe. Here is an even better one.

Other states with this same firm have even higher rates.

A news storys out of the UK about 2600+ % loans.

He chased them from the temple grounds straight into Europe, where they were granted exclusive rights to cultivate their usurous ways.

That arrangement was a kind of "Feudal Federal Reserve", if you will. The kikes had a monopoly on usury because Jeebus and the Holy Babble told the goyim it was bad. Imagine how wealthy the aristocracy would have become if it had been able to practice usury in earnest. Instead, over the centuries the wealth of the aristocracy was slowly but surely depleted. In fact, by the 17th century the aristocracy had become so dependent on jewish financiers that it always permitted the "court jews" to remain behind after pogroms.

That's a good point, Bassanio, but there is something intrinsic in our nature that recoils at handling money or using our brain to think up ways to get more money. A good friend of mine who posts here on VNN occasionally, and is very into reading and writing, tells me he recoils at having to focus his life on accumulating money, and I remember being the same way myself.

It's like the old saying, "you can't serve two masters." Pure pursuits, like writing a novel or composing a sonata, are incompatible with chasing the Almighty Dollar.

But of course the problem is, while the young Lord is composing his sonatas or writing his great novel, the court jew is cleaning out the wealth of the estate while pretending to be the "responsible steward."

You make good points, but you seem to be too focused on pessimism and regrets. I'm not saying you are wrong; I'm just saying it might not be good for your personal psychological health, Bassanio.

All your points taken, I try not to focus on the negative, but rather to be more optimistic and forward-looking; sure it's horrible, but what do we do now?

A reading of old European history (esp. England) finds royals pawning the crown, etc. to the jew money lenders to finance fratricidal wars, etc. The jew was always waiting in the wings to make a profit.

I recall reading about one English king that banished the jew. Another king was financed by the jew and launched an invasion and took over. On the very first boats were the jews ready to set up shop again. I am sorry that I don't recall the king involved. I will have to look it up.

The Hundred Years War between England and France saw ransoming as a means of income and many common men became rich. The books I have read on the war do not mention the jew, but I suspect that they had a lot to do with the furtherance of the war.

Edward I Longshanks 1290

Another source of crown income was represented by England's Jews. The Jews were the king's personal property, and he was free to tax them at will.[141] By the 1280 the Jews had been exploited to a level where they were no longer of much financial use to the crown, but they could still be used in political bargaining.[142] Their usury business – a practice forbidden to Christians – had made many people indebted to them, and caused general popular resentment.[143] In 1275, Edward had issued the Statute of the Jewry, which outlawed usury and encouraged the Jews to take up other professions;[144] in 1279, in the context of a crack-down on coin-clippers, he arrested all the heads of Jewish households in England and had around 300 of them executed.[145] In 1280 he ordered all Jews to attend special sermons, preached by Dominican friars, with the hope of persuading them to convert, but neither of these exhortations were followed.[146] The final attack on the Jews in England came in the form of the Edict of Expulsion in 1290, whereby Edward formally expelled all Jews from England.[147] This not only generated revenues through royal appropriation of Jewish loans and property, but it also gave Edward the political capital to negotiate a substantial lay subsidy in the 1290 Parliament.[148] The expulsion, which was not reversed until 1656,[149] followed a precedence set by other European territorial princes; the king of France had expelled all Jews from his own lands in 1182; the duke of Brittany drove them out of his duchy in 1239; and in the late 1240s Louis IX had expelled the Jews from the royal demesne prior to his first passage to the East.[150]

It was this—allied to Cromwell’s toleration of the right to private worship of those who fell outside evangelical puritanism—that led to his encouraging Jews to return to England in 1657, over 350 years after their banishment by Edward I, in the hope that they would help speed up the recovery of the country after the disruption of the Civil Wars.[84]

My attitude certainly isn't good for my psychological well-being, Kievsky, but though I may be able to put on a mask and lie convincingly to others, I'll never be able to lie to myself about the wretched state of our affairs.

Europa will founder.

Enjoy the fact that we've got access to the sum total of Western Civilization's cultural output. All (or at least whatever has been preserved) the cultural beauty of the Western world is at our fingertips, and we can die knowing that nothing in terms of genuine aesthetic and spiritual value will ever be created again.

Small consolation, I know, but death can be a daunting thing, and this knowledge will make it a little less daunting.

Therefore drink from the cup of life, for never has its sweet nectar been so plentiful! I'll be departing VNN Forum soon enough to do just that. I'm growing tired of reading about jews jewing and niggers niggering.

I know the feeling, I've taken my own share of breaks as well. Good luck.

[Joe_J.]

Thanks, Kievsky. I knew that I had read about that somewhere.

Bassanio, I hope you won't bail out on VNN. You're a good poster, IMO. You usually make some good points.

It is good to take a vacation sometimes from the nonWhite evil in the world when you can.

I try to take some advice that Kievsky posted once. Well, he wasn't giving advice, but I took it as such. Fill up your life with good things, he said. You can always make your own personal space a White zone of sorts. Every little bit helps. That's how the eco-folks do it-think global, act local.
