“We’re All in this Together" & Other Public Relations Lies Told by Vampires: Debt Collectors & Banks [greedy rich White folks] Seizing Stimulus Checks to Cover Overdraft Fees & Debts

According to FUNKTIONARY:

vamPIRE- a parasite (by nature) that feeds on the healthy, innocent and unsuspecting. It appears beautiful, mysterious, alluring and powerfuL to the host-victim as it sucks on the host's life-stream depleting the life-force and light-force until the host no longer-knows who he or she is. Vampirism is development out of proportion to that of the whole---at the expense of the whole.
A vampire affects and infects the host with a "virus" until the host becomes one with the body of the redeemer--one with the consciousness with the vampire--and consequently, the host loses his sense of self---no longer perceiving the world and reality from a knowledge of Self, but fi~m a perception of knowledge grafted onto him by the vampire.

From [HERE] and [HERE] The Treasury Department is reviewing whether it has the legal authority to prevent banks and private debt collectors from seizing $1,200 government stimulus payments, according to a person familiar with the internal deliberations, as blowback builds over private lenders clawing back parts of the emergency financial relief package.

The review is being conducted by legal counsel at the Treasury Department, said the person, who declined to speak on record because the matter had not been finalized. It was unclear when a determination about the payments would be made.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration began directly depositingstimulus checks in the bank accounts of 80 million Americans to help them survive the economic downturn caused by the coronavirus. Reports quickly surfaced that some of these payments were being redirected to banks and private debt collectors from people who have overdraft fees, delinquent loans or other debt obligations.

These garnishments have sparked a bipartisan backlash in Congress, with lawmakers arguing the money should be walled off from collection by banks and private debt collectors. Several large banks announced they would stop taking the money amid public criticism. USAA, which services veterans and military families, announced last week that it would return the stimulus funds and change its policy after the American Prospect reported the bank took $3,400 in payments from the family of a disabled veteran to offset an existing debt.

The seizure of stimulus checks by private lenders threatens to further undermine the rocky rollout of the $2 trillion coronavirus relief package. A number of obstacles have surfaced blocking Americans from swift access to the direct payments, a massive increase in unemployment benefits and emergency loans through the Small Business Administration. The Trump administration has defended its implementation of the law, saying it sent out 80 million checks within three weeks with an error rate of under 1 percent and has successfully disbursed hundreds of billions in small-business aid.

Millions of people stand to have their stimulus payments garnished under the current Treasury Department policy. Nearly a third of Americans have a debt in collection, although the exact number affected is unclear, according to Lauren Saunders, associate director of the National Consumer Law Center, a nonpartisan advocacy group.
