At Least Five Chase Banks Receive Letter Threats

At least five branches of Chase (JPM.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) bank in Colorado and Oklahoma received threatening letters on Monday, some containing an unidentified white powder.
A spokeswoman for Chase said the letters were delivered to three branches in the Denver area and locations in Oklahoma City and Norman, Oklahoma.
Some of the envelopes contained the white powder, Chase spokeswoman Mary Jane Rogers said, and one employee was treated for a rash as a precaution, but it was not clear if the skin irritation was caused by the powder or had already been there.
She identified the Colorado branches as being in Lakewood and Arvada.
Fire Marshal Kevin Ferry of the Cunningham Fire Protection District near Denver said the powder in one package was found to be harmless, though the substance had yet to be identified.
That branch was inside a supermarket in the Denver suburb of Centennial. The supermarket was evacuated as a precaution.
Several bank employees who had close contact with the package were sent to a local hospital for evaluation, he said.
A police department spokesman in nearby Lakewood, Steve Davis, said a white substance found on a parcel there appeared not to be dangerous and resembled talcum powder.
JPMorgan Chase & Co last week surpassed Citigroup Inc to became the largest U.S. bank, and has aggressively acquired other assets as the financial system has weakened, including the banking assets of Washington Mutual Inc.
Rogers said Chase would not release the total number of banks affected until they were sure all the letters had been found.
“We immediately called the FBI and Postal Inspection Service to handle the matter and ensure the safety of our customers and employees,” Rogers said.
She did not know the contents of the letters or if they contained return addresses.

Gee whiz, it was only yesterday that we read about those new Anthrax vaccines, what a happy coincidence!
Yawn… let me know when the horse heads start appearing in beds…
Shit, I didn’t see that vaccine story from the other day…
This did not happen,who would stand to benefit from such a fabrication?
Kevin,
What criteria do you use for false flag operations vs. resistance?
False flag operations = Amounts to psyop, little more. I assume that strategic economic infrastructure would not be targeted here, regardless of the number of civilian deaths.
Resistance = Actions other than war that degrade the power of the state/increase individual power.
War = Covers full spectrum of war, from high intensity to low intensity.
Ahh, gotcha,
In this case, if a bunch of dumbasses thought they were usefully attacking a bank, then really all they have done is create psyop opportunities for the state.
Resistance would have been more like taking out the transformer to the branch – it would have a real impact on the operations and we wouldn’t likely hear about it on the news.
War would have been an act that destroyed or significantly impeded an asset at the bank.
Thanks for the description.
Infrastructure sabotage is low to medium intensity warfare, resistance would be taking your money out of the bank and telling your friends to do the same, explaining why, then explaining why it’s important they tell everyone they care about to do the same, and so on. You only need to convince 10% of depositors by volume to do that in order to completely destroy the organization.
Anyone see what they were hustling into (and out of)the Hazmat tents?
I learned in my business training that there used to be the big eight or was it six auditing firms?
and then Enron happened and Arthur Anderson sorto kindo had to go away,
and I never learned the rest of the story. Yawn.
I don’t follow the story if I smell a done deal.
Many less accounting firms by design. We don’t need no regulation. Ump. UmP. Ump. Hey TEACHER Leave the those kids alone (pink floyd).
JPMORGAN is the only reptilian banking entity left untouched. They want their MONEY BACk for funding the wars in IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN, just like they wanted their money back from funding WWI that caused the first great depression.
And well. Here we go.
