Some time in April I got a new job with a security company working guess where? At some shelterš³ Is that my destiny?š
Anyway, as I had stated earlier, I had to get away from the Amazon job because that was strictly for voucher purposesācanāt survive in NYC on a 21 hour a week job.
I didnāt officially quit the Amazon job because I didnāt know what to expect with the security jobāI actually had very low expectations, if Iām being honest
So I went into the security job basically as a tourist, just seeing if itās something I wanted to do and if not, going back to Amazon while looking for something else.
Turns out however that itās a pretty decent company, PLUS itās a union job, so even better. Even though Iām scheduled for 40 hours at this shelter location, there are plenty of opportunities to pick up extra shifts at other locations, or even do a double shift (16 hours) at the shelterš³ Not bad at all.
So I did about three weeks on 40 hours to see if there would be any āissuesā with my paycheckāa common problem for targeted individualsšš¤¦āāļø
The 40 hour work weeks went fineāno issues to report. So on the week beginningā¦a TI decided to kick up his game a notch, and venture into the overtime territoryājust to see how the check would look with 48 hours. So I did 48 hours on the week beginningā¦and did the same thing for the week after that. So two weeks with 48 hours back to back.
Next thing I know āproblemsā with BOTH the checks where I had overtimešš¤¦āāļøYou really canāt make this stuff up. Remember I wrote about this VERY SAME issue with the Amazon job when I decided to work more than 21 hours. Itās NOT a mistakeāvery deliberate
This however, is what many TIs fail to getāthe psyop they fail to realize. It is NOT about the money. They do this so that the TI begins to associate overtime with problems, so the YOU YOU YOU the TI begins to shy away from overtimeāWhy should I do overtime when Iām not even going to get paid? You get it?š¤ Everything is fine UNTIL the TI starts going for overtime. They want you earning survival money, not thriving money
Anyway, even though this issue is from the week in the beginning of May, they still havenāt fixed it even as weāre heading into June. A TIās 16 hours of wages just STOLEN. Sad.
Most TIs are also brokeāliving paycheck to paycheck, so issues like this can really disrupt their work, even though they havenāt done anything wrong. Luckily for me, Iām not that broke, so I have the luxury of waiting for my money without getting in anybodyās face. Nobody should be chasing anybody down for their paycheck like this, thoughāTI or no TI. Matter of fact, isnāt that a crime?šš¤·āāļø
Anyway, my plan is to hang around at this shelter location for a little longer then request a move to another site. I donāt want to ārock the boatā too early. I can tell you right now, things are not going to end well here if I have to do this ācatch me if you canā routine with my paycheck every time I have some overtime.š
Iāll keep you posted on paycheckgate.
Also wanted to point out that my plan this year, after securing an apartment, was to start writing a bookāyou read that rightāa book about my experiences as a TI. The website doesnāt do TIs a lot of justice because often times it describes incidents that can be dismissed as one-offs, even though they are not. A book with actual chapters and paragraphs will do a better job, imho, laying out how the TI program works. So if you donāt see a lot of posts from me this year, just know that Iām putting them into a book. Only fragrant incidents like this paycheckgate will appear on this website.š
2025 income tax refund is finally here, and yay, itās a lot of $$ this time, quite a decent amount.
But guess whatāyou knew there had to be a butššāthe IRS deducted $3500, yeah you read that right, deducted $3500 and gave it to my baby mama even though Iāve had the two kids since late 2023
They did the SAME thing with the previous tax return. I wrote about it here but the website got shut down by malware shortly thereafter. Weird huh?š
Think about that for a second. A targeted individual is someone the Feds follow everywhere, everyday, every hour but somehow, the IRS ādoesnāt knowā that he has had the kids since 2023? If you believe that, Iāve got a bridge for saleš
Moral of the story is they are constantly STEALING from TIs, yes I said that, stealing. They deliberately do that knowing you will NOT recoup the entire $3500āyour earned, rightful money. You may get some back, but not the entire $3500. And then after that they start getting after the rest of your stashāchip away at it slowly by slowly. The $3500 is just the start.š¤
Remember the goal is to keep the TI living paycheck to paycheck with zero financial cushion. Thatās their sweet spot. Stay tuned
The $3500 was supposed to be sent out by IRS on Monday 03/09/26, but as of today, Friday 03/13/26 she has NOT seen any of it. Now whether thatās true or not, thereās no way for me to verify, but you get the point. This is a targeted individualās hard earned money which so far looks like will just get STOLEN from him, or even if he gets it, it will NOT be the full amount.
Youāve heard about TIs complaining about government criminals and their minions STEALING from them. Well, hereās your slam dunk example. Weāll give them a little more timeāone more weekābut, not looking goodš¤·āāļø
**Update On Income Tax Drama 032526**
So as of Wednesday 03/26/26 Baby Mama says she STILL has not received the money IRS took from me and sent to Texas on 03/09/26š. She says she called Austin (child support office) and was told that the IRS stood on business and sent the money to them on 03/09/26āexactly as it says on my IRS account.
According to her, the folks in Austin told her it will take 4-8 WEEKS before the money hits her bank. No, I didnāt stutter, not 4-8 days, 4-8 WEEKS.
Now, letās analyze this situation for a second. This is not the first time IRS has sent my tax refund to Austin. They did so with the 2024 tax refund too. In that case, according to my IRS account, the deducted funds were sent to Austin on 03/10/25. Baby Mama had the $$ on 03/12/25. Nobody said anything about 4-8 WEEKS for processingš¤
And even putting that aside. What would be the point of taking money from somebodyās tax refund and then just have it sit at the AGās office in Austin? Shouldnāt they be moving heaven and earth to make sure the ācustodial parentā get some much needed financial relief?š¤
Aaahaa!! Therein lies your answer. It was never about that. It was ALWAYS about robbing the TI. Crooked Ken Paxtonās office took money from a TI they had no business taking, and now they are just sitting on it in Austin
Stay tuned. Iāll keep you posted as this drama plays out
**Update on income tax drama on tax day 041526**
So on Wednesday 041526ātax dayāI decided to inquire into the missing $3,500 that IRS took from my refund. I have an online IRS account that I check regularly for notices, but they never put the notice there. Most likely they mailed it to an old addressš
So on 041526 I actually called the IRS inquiring about this $3,500 deduction and came out with some, letās just say, interesting discovery. The IRS folks directed me to the Bureau of Fiscal Services (BFS), and gave me a number to call for details about the $3,500. The actual figure is $3,521.
So I called BFS and was pleasantly surprised to find out that itās actually a straightforward process. You donāt even need to speak to a live person. You just call the number, it asks for your social and other identifying info and all the information is available via voice promptsāāpress 1 for details of the debtā etc.
So I followed through with the voice prompts and found out that the $3,521 was sent to two agenciesāThe Louisiana Department of Revenue (basically Louisianaās IRS) and, you guessed it, the Texas Attorney Genenalās Office(child support). Roughly two thirds went to Texas AGās office and a third to Louisiana
Now, the Louisiana debt is a legit debt from before 2020āI want to say 2018 or 2019. I had taken a refinery job in Louisiana but when the tax filing season came, I just filed my federal taxes and did not file the Louisiana state taxes as was required. I remember them sending me notices to my Texas address for some $500 that I owed the state. My assumption was that they would just take that $500 from any subsequent income tax that I filed, but apparently they never did so until 2026, some 7-8 years later. Kinda weird, but hey. The amount they took was also way more than $500, which Iām assuming is late charges plus collection fees.š
So because Louisiana was actually a legit debt, I never called them to inquire about the amount they took. Seemed a little high to me, plus a little out of the blue (could have collected long ago, especially during the COVID cash boomš) but hey, it is what it is.
So that leaves us with MAGA corrupt Texas AGās office, who got the large chunk of the $3521 and like I said earlier, has ZERO claim on the money. None. They KNOW the children have lived with their dad in NY for two plus years but STILL conspires to STEAL his income tax refund every tax season. Yeah, you heard that right, I didnāt stutterāconspire to STEAL a targeted individualās tax refundāa CRIME
Luckily, this is an issue that targeted individuals have raised for years, and is now catching steam even with some members of Congressā-these, so called ācovert operationsā that are basically organized crimes that serve no national security purposes. I wrote about this in a previous post. Make no mistake about it, theft is the ācovert operationā in this case. But itās classified, so you canāt do anything about it. Total travesty that has nothing to do with national security.
But anyway, this is the story I got on 041526 from the Texas AGās office. The money thatāaccording to Baby Mamaāwas still being held by the Texas AGās office for some 4-8 weeks WAS ALREADY PAID OUT on 03/10/26. You read that right. A TI is being fed all these stories while his money was already stolen a long time ago. Now you see what I mean when I say CONSPIRE TO STEAL. Itās not just some arbitrary term Iām throwing out there, itās exactly that.
But stay tuned, this might be a great opportunity to raise this classified crimes issue in a Texas court. Iām working on it. I also have to make sure the crooks donāt steal my next tax refund too, so court action may be inevitable.š¤ Stay tuned.
Thereās an important update about school, that I have been slow to update you about. Remember I had gotten caught up in some tuition drama during the Summer semester that forced me to appeal the charges? Well, turns out my appeal was approved, and I ended up successfully registering for the Fall Semester
***Approved Appeal***
The interesting thing this Fall is that NY Governor Hochul has instituted a new program that allows people like me to attend college for FREE, yeah you read that right, totally FREEātuition, books and everything.
So when I was registering this Fall, I made it clear to the QCC folksāRegistrar, Financial aid staff, everybody that I want the Governorās free program. So the staff at QCC told me that only certain programs are eligible and I wasnāt currently enrolled in thoseāI should say, only certain Majors are eligible.
So they told me I had to switch my major to one of the eligible ones before I got considered for the program. So I switched my major for CIS to Cybersecurity, which is an eligible major.
After the switch, they told me I had to go to the financial aid office because they are ultimately responsible for who gets into the free programāthey make the determination
So I went to the financial aid office right after switching my major to cybersecurity, just to double check on the info I had received thus far. The FinAid folks said the info was accurateāthat even though itās a free college program, one had to file a 2025-26 FAFSA and NY State aid(known as TAP) to be considered into the programāand their explanation made sense. They wanted to make sure the people who get the free ride are those who have no other available forms of financial aidāthe last resort crowd like myself.
I know I did my FAFSA back in late March-April so I had no issue with that. TAP on the other hand, I donāt even know what to tell you what kind of witchcraft is going on with the TAP folks.šTo date, Iāve made almost 10 applications, and itās ALWAYS the same resultāsome alleged problem with my FAFSA that prevents them from processing my state aid. Somebody at NY state aid (TAP) does NOT want this TI attending school FOR REAL!!š
The latest one I filed was onā¦right after I spoke with financial aid office after switching my major to cybersecurity. Look what I got anback this morningāthe SAME damn thingš³
As of now it still shows that I owe tuition so Iām not sure if the financial aid folks will use this as the reason to throw me on the free ride program, or will they stick a TI with the bill again. I think we all know the odds are 90-10 stick the TI with the billš. But anyway, stay tuned. We shall see.
Just so you know, if there were āissuesā with my financial aid application that needed fixing/addressing, the good folk at QCC Financial Aid office would know, and would have told me about it. According to them, everything is fine with my FAFSA, Iām just maxed out on the Pell & the loans. Very fishy whatās going on with the TAP folk. TI alarm has been going off every time they show up on the scene šØ šØ. Something there just aināt right, SOMETHINGš. Iāll dig into their affairs and report back to you.
Also nowadays I like to check in with my new best friend, ChatGPTš, so I figured Iād ask about the nexus between targeting programs and higher education. Hereās what came back. Notice the part about ādenied scholarshipsā. Is that what TAP is up to?š³. Hmm, we report, you decideš¤·āāļø
Also just to make sure you didnāt miss it. Notice what my new best friend ChatGPT also says towards the endāthat they do this stuff āin subtle, deniable waysāāthe good olā plausible deniability. See how smart my new best friend is? Something to think about next time somebody tells you all TIs are crazy. The truth is more often that they cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt the crimes being done to themš¤
Monday 08/25/25 headed to QCC to take care of my application for Gov Hochuls free college program. Transferrred some money to my CashApp card, which I basically use for bus fare and MTA transit
All of a sudden these Google Play deductions start coming in back to back. Both of my kids have iPhones so I doubt itās themāApple doesnāt support Google Play. Probably one of the Infragard crooks doing itš
Remember, they follow you around every day so they have you figured outāthe little things you do day by day. I pretty much put $10 on my CashApp card for commutes (bus fare). That means to day I would have walked into a bus and got declined while trying to pay using the CashApp card linked to my Apple Pay. Pretty sure that was the ācovert operationā. šš¤¦āāļø
You hear TIs complaining about money disappearing from their bank accounts. This is just one example, but I have many more going back years, and involving much more money.
Just one of the tricks in Deep Stateās financial sabotage schemes. Outright theft. Sad indeed.
Folks, they not only MUST end the super criminal targeted individual program, but this time, the Deep State crooks MUST be thrown in jail.š None of that āweāll recommend fixesā nonsense that Congress did after the Church Committee findings.š¤·āāļø
Tuesday 07/22/25, I woke up at around 7 am and started getting ready for work–I usually leave between 9:30-10 am. Naturally I visit my Twitter(X) account and YouTube channels every morning to see how my various posts from the previous day performed.
As I’m on YouTube, at around 8:30 am, a G-Mail from YouTube comes in saying my MONETIZED channel with over 10,700 subscribers and growing daily, had been removed.š³ I had ZERO copyright strikes as of this morning, so I was very curious as to the reason for this removal.
The stated reason is that my account repeatedly promoted spam and engaged in deceptive practices.š I have no earthly idea how this even remotely jives with my YouTube channel, but it has to do with the fact that my videos have a URL link to my blog that discusses the videos I post on this YouTube channel.šš¤·
It appears YouTube did to this channel, exactly what it did to my political channel some time in 2023–a pretextual targeted attack–and that’s sad. It is for this reason that I call it Deep State YouTubeš.Ā
I plan to appeal the decision, but I don’t expect it to succeed. The decision was ALREADY made in advance–if you know what I mean.š¤
Alternatively, I could just do what REALLY talented/gifted people do, and just build a similar channel from scratch. It’s the talent that bothers/scares them. They just STEAL ideas from gifted peopleš¤
Oh, and it also cannot be left unsaid. Financial sabotage is KEY to the targeting program. I was earning a steady paycheck from this channel so…?? If you know, you know.š¤
Or was it because I was bitching about thisšrecently?š³
Long story short, Iād be interested to see an enterprising lawyer take YouTube to court over the disparate payment on āarbitrary & capriciousā grounds
On Friday 062725, headed to work to finish off my work week. I usually work Tuesday, Thursday & Friday every week.
This week, however, I took up an extra shift on Monday meaning I would have gotten 4 days this week–extra money.
I get on the subway on Friday and catch the 10:45 am F train headed to Manhattan. Two or three stops into my trip and an announcement comes in saying there’s a “problem” and they “don’t know when it’s going to be fixed”–I kid you notš.
So I may actually lose a day of work thanks to MTA shenanigansš. Coincidence? We report, you decide
Remember targeted individuals argue that financial sabotage is a key aspect of the targeting programš¤¦
At 11:38am, train moved againāāproblem fixedāš I am supposed to be at work at 11:30amš
Next thing you know, āproblemā AGAIN. We were transferred to another trainš
Long story short, I got to the job site after 12pm which means too late, no workāor mission accomplishedš Just another day in the financial sabotage drama of a targeted individualš¤¦āāļø
I will say this in closing, though. Stuff like this used to sting so bad in Houston Texas because it would often happen when you had that late car note payment and you NEEDED those extra hours of work. Missing a scheduled day of work would put you into repossession zoneāvery stressful. Here in NYCāwhy I love it hereāthereās very little, or no effect at all. I knew after 12 pm I wouldnāt be allowed to work but I still went in just so they know, I wasnāt just laying at home goofing off. After that, itās sightseeing time in Manhattan. Very big
***Updated Wednesday 07/16/25***
So that week, I ended up missing that extra day because of the train ādelayā, right? Ended up working 3 days instead of 4.
The following week, I actually did 4 days(one extra day)āmade sure I went to work early and everything. My direct deposit comes on Wednesdays. So Wednesday 07/16/25 Iām expecting a BIGGER deposit than Iāve been getting when I work 3 days, right? WRONG. I actually got LESS money depositedāI kid you not.š³
Hope that will get it through your thick skull that a KEY part of the targeted individual program is designed to keep the target POOR. If they donāt do it through the train delay shenanigans, they literally STEAL from the TI. Never forget that. Itās not some kind of mistake, clerical error, oversightā¦nope, straight up THEFT.š¤
Oh, and also thisš, because theyāll expect the TI to be rattled and chase them down for the money and stuff. Not this seasoned TI. Iāll let them know, but Iām not chasing anybody down, or rattledš¤
Last, but not least, they also do this stuff to discourage, demoralize the TI from seeking overtimeāwhy am I even doing this when theyāll just steal my money?š¤ Weāre too smart/seasoned for that, though.
***And then check this outā this may be unrelated, but still āinterestingā. Later on the same night, after the āpaycheck issueā, (07/16/25), I stopped by the grocery store to buy a few things for the kids. I go there pretty much every day, was even there last night. When it came time to check out, my EBT card was DECLINED.š³ It still has a lot of money on it. Coincidence, or just another ānegative blowā on operation day? Hmmš¤ . Just weird that it happened the SAME day my paycheck got shorted.š¤They usually issue temporary EBT cards when your money gets stolen, etc. It could be that my temporary card just expired, earning me another day at the EBT officeš¤¦āāļøāor another missed work day?š¤Ŗ We shall see. Stay tuned***
As you may have noticed from my earlier post. I did get to enroll for the Spring semester at QCCāand now in hindsight, God must have been looking out for me. I had intended to enroll for Fall 2024 there was just too much going on at the time. So right now I am happily enrolled at QCC and if you might know, actually thriving academically. You probably going, āThatās shocking. You can actually read?āš
But anyway, why do I call my QCC enrollment a Godsend? Because news broke just this week that the Trump administration is planning to really crack down on student loan repayments beginning NEXT month(May).š³ If I hadnāt enrolled in school, guess who would be making those $300+ payments? Yup, you guessed right.š I actually logged into FAFSA and looked at my student loan situation. It now says my next payment is in 2029(after graduation)š.
The Spring semester is almost coming to an end. Iām taking some classes at QCC this Summer also. I talked to the QCC financial aid folks and they told me to fill out the 25-26 FAFSA if I wanted to attend Summer. I took care of that several weeks ago
They also strongly advised me to apply for the NY state financial aid, something I opted not to do for the Spring semesterāI had income tax coming in, so I decided to go easy on them.šI already put in my NY financial aid too. I actually got an email from them yesterday 04/23 saying they couldnāt process my application there was something missing in my recently filed FAFSA (25-26).š They said I need to āmake correctionsā on my FAFSA within the next 14 days or my application gets yanked.š
When I logged into my FAFSA account yesterday, it didnāt indicate that there was ANY problem that I needed to fix, so I really donāt know whatās going on with NY state financial aid. In addition, it is super complicated to contact the folks at NY state financial aid. You have to schedule an appointment, but hereās the kicker, on their calendar page for appts, ALL reservations at takenš
Long story short. TI radar šØ is beginning to go off on NY state financial aid. Not full blast yet, but the alarm šØ is surely going off.š Stay tuned
On my day off(Wednesday 05/07/25) just chilling and relaxing and next thing I know, boomšSummer school is like two weeks away. See what a TI has to go through?š The so-called ājerking aroundā program aka neo-mkultra you thought was a āconspiracy theoryāš³š¤. Trust me, there are NO legitimate āproblemsā with all the applications Iāve submitted thus far. Stay tuned, folks. Thereās also supposed to be an award from the financial aid proper(federal) for Summer school but you already know what time it isātheft theft theftš¤
***Updated on Tuesday 052025*** So the Spring semester officially ended this past Saturday(05/17) so my focus has shifted to the Summer semester.
Back in late March, early April, I had registered for two Summer classes for a total of 6 credit hoursāone on Summer I and the other one in Summer II. The Summer one was scheduled to begin on 05/27āa few days from today.
So yesterday, on my day off(Monday 05/19) I decided to call QCC financial aid office to see what was going on with my financial aid application because as I had repeatedly made it clear to them, the ONLY way I attend Summer school is with financial aidāstudent loans.
Back in late March when I registered for Summer school, I made sure to check in with the financial aid office to make sure come Summer semester, I will have a decision one way or another re my financial aid. Back then(March), the financial aid office told me what I needed to do was fill out the 2025-26 FAFSA and also apply for NY state financial aidāboth of which I took care of.
So I thought all I had to do is knock out the Spring semester and SMOOTHLY transition into Summer I, right? Wrong.šMy financial aid application remained in limbo until yesterday when I reached someone at the office, meaning it had been languishing since March.š Mind you, Iāve sent a lot of emails in the interim to inquire about the status of my aid but apparently I was āspeaking to the hand.āšš
So yesterday when I finally got a hold of someone at the office they told me I could not receive any more federal financial aid because I am maxed out for an undergraduateāIāve apparently hit the limits for both Pell & student loans
I would have to get a private loan or pay for myself. Why did it take so long to tell me that? If they told me that in April, I would have made arrangements to pay for myself this Summer. Itās only 1 class in Summer I.š¤¦āāļøš¤·āāļøYou see what Iām saying, the problem is not with the determination that Iām maxed out, if that is even the case, but rather that they could have told me that way back then allowing me to make plans for Summer school. Now itās less than 10 days before classes startātoo late to do anything. Iām also ONLY finding out because I called yesterday. I would have been sitting here thinking I have class on the 27th only to hit the FIND OUT phase then.š Come on now, something is not right with that picture.š¤·āāļø
And then this. The financial aid lady also asked me if I had filed the NY state financial aid and I told her I did when I filed my 2025-26 FAFSA, just like they told me. I told her they rejected my application over some issues with my FAFSA. The lady told me NY aid had NOTHING to do with FAFSA, but when you look at the letter below, thatās EXACTLY what the NY state aid folks told me. What is a targeted individual supposed to believe, folks?šš¤·āāļø
Long story short, folks, my plans for Summer school and the financial aidš have hit a road block. Coincidence? Hmm, we report you decide
Interesting side note, before I got off the phone with the financial aid lady, I asked her about the Godsend billāliterallyāthat NY Governor Hochul recently signed that essentially makes community college FREE
***Updated Tuesday 061025***
So Monday 06/09/25 was my day off and one of my “to-do”s for Monday was contacting QCC about my Fall registration. You’ll remember that I had registered for two classes this Summer but I couldn’t attend because my financial aid fell through–maxed out per the QCC financial aid office. I had applied for NY State financial aid back in March too, but I don’t even know what’s going on with them at this point. My applications keep getting withdrawn for let’s just say, “strange” reasonsšš
So here’s what’s going on with QCC that is very interesting. Back in Houston, and Texas generally, when you register for college classes. You are expected to pay or at least set up some type of payment plan a few days before the class begins–typically the Friday before the class begins. If you don’t outright pay the tuition by the Friday, or set up some type of payment plan, you lose your class. They don’t hold it for you anymore UNLESS the financial aid office tells them you have pending financial aid–money coming. In those cases, the college will hold the classes for you
So a targeted individual over here is thinking surely that’s how all colleges operate, right? WRONG. The Summer classes they had me registered for and for which I made absolutely clear to the financial aid office that I cannot attend without financial aid, are STILL showing on my enrolled classes. Crucially, now I OWE the school $$ even though I never stepped foot in any of these classes. And because of this “tuition bill”, I cannot register for Fall classes. Lord Have Mercy. Think about that, a targeted individual closed his eyes for a minute and just like that, Deep State has him locked out of schoolš³ Somebody FOR REAL doesn’t want this TI going to school. If it’s not denying him federal financial aid it’s NY State financial aid and now these “registration issues”šš¤¦
And check this out, on Monday 06/09 at 2:15 pm, I was supposed to have a virtual meeting with someone from Advisors office to discuss my plans for Fall registration and iron out some of these other registration issues and take a wild guess as to what happened? You guessed it, it DIDN’T happen. When I called the advisement office after 2:15 pm to inquire about this, she told me the person I was supposed to talk to, one Ann, was not at the office today(working from home). She took my number and told me to expect a call from Ann. I told her I had two phones and told her to tell Ann to call me on the number I had shared with her–the phone I used mostly. An hour goes back and the QCC lady calls me Ann had called and missed me on the OTHER phonešš¤¦and also that she had sent me an email which I supposed was Zoom instructions. I checked my email and surprise surprise NADA!!š¤¦
Later that day, I called QCC advisement again to inquire about the supposed email that was sent to me. They put me through to another lady(not sure if that was the elusive Annšš¤·) but she basically told me that the last day to drop my Summer I class was June 2nd so I may end up getting stuck with the bill, even though I didn’t attend/had no intention of attending without financial aidš¤¦. As for the Summer II class that I have coming up, she told me to go and withdraw from it immediately so I don’t have to pay for it tooš. I tried doing that myself on CUNY website but it ended up being more complicated than a SpaceX launch missionš. My plan is to physically go to QCC Wednesday on my day off and have this addressed. She said I could appeal the Summer I charges, so I will find out about that on Wednesday.
As it currently, a targeted individual is locked out of Fall registration.š¤¦ Think about that, a TI set out back in March to get financial aid so he can attend Summer school and now, he NOT ONLY can’t attend because financial aid fell through, but he OWES QCC for courses he never took. AND he’s locked out of Fall registration. That’s some REAL TI stuff, ain’t it?šš¤¦
***Updated Wednesday 06/11/25***
So on my day off Wednesday 06/11/25, I decided to visit QCC to see what the hell was going on with this registration chicaneryšI also wanted to cancel the Summer II class that I had coming up to avoid getting TRICKED into a $700 bill like I just did, and relax, Iāli explain why I say TRICKED.
So, I had two Summer classes, one for Summer I beginning on 05/27 and the other for Summer II beginning sometime in late July. During my visit today I made sure to drop the July class so as to avoid getting tricked into another $725 bill. SADš¤¦āāļø
Right before Summer I class was about to begin, I wanna say around the 05/17, I contacted (phone call) the financial aid office asking them why I had not received any financial aid yet, even though classes were like 10 days away. So this talked to that one, who talked to the otheršand they finally got back to me saying I was not eligible for financial aid because I was maxed out. So right there and then I told her I was no longer interested because there was no way I would attend class without financial aid. I even remember telling the financial aid lady that I will have to withdraw from both classes.
Also, like I said earlier, my Texas mindset had me thinking that because I had not set up any payment plan and there was no financial aid coming for me, the system would drop the class for meāthatās how they do it in Texas. You either pay, or they hold the class for you if you have pending financial aid(money coming)
So two days after classes start(05/29/25) this email shows up on my mailboxāthe aforementioned TRICKERY.
Any reasonable person reading this email would have concluded, as I did, that it was not wise to drop classesāthat there were problems with financial aid processing, and that if you just waited a little bit longer, you would get financial aid for the classš¤. So I figured, let me give it a week to see if I get some financial aid. That, my friend, is how a targeted individual fell head, shoulders and toes into the TRICK. What the email CRUCIALLY left out, was that 06/02 (three days after the email) was the LAST day to drop the class without getting stuck with the $725 bill. Lord Have Mercy.š¤¦āāļø So now a POOR targeted individual has to come up with $725 for a class he never intended, AND as a requirement for Fall registration. Thatās some cold Deep State stuff, aināt it?š
The Bursarās office gave me a link to appeal this bill, but I have to tell you, itās not a very promising avenueš¤¦āāļø
Long story short, people should not have to be subjected to these pitfalls if they are interested in getting an education. This stuff looks very badāalmost like an effort to force somebody out of school. Not a good look, QCC, NOT a good look. Also why itās a VERY GOOD thing that NY Gov Hochul is making certain aspects of community college FREE. Hopefully it will save poor students from such chicaneryš
Iāll keep you updated on the āpithyā appealš
***Updated on Friday 082225***
Long story short, they ended up cancelling my $725 bill and registered me for Fall classes. On Monday I have to go the financial aid office so I can do an application for Gov Kathy Hochulās FREE college program
While at QCC, I asked the question a lot of prospective students probably have right now, and that is, why would they need a student to apply for financial aid if the program was free? The answer I was given, a very good one, is that they want a student to exhaust all available forms of aid (Pell & NY state aid) first. In other words, they want the money set aside for this program to benefit students who donāt have other means of financial aid available. That saves money for the program, allowing it to help more people.
I know Iām maxed out on Pell grants but Iām not sure about NY state aid. Theyāve been acting very fishy with my previous applicationsš. All kinds of TI alarms šØ have been going on with NY state aid (aka TAP).š Somebody there REALLY doesnāt want this TI getting any money.šThey were also the reason I got into the $725 bill jam in the first place. They were supposed to pay for my Summer classes but just left me hanging. They said they never got/could not access my processed FAFSA.š Very fishy.
Weāll see what NY state aid says this time around. The good thing isāGod bless Gov HochulāI donāt have to chase them around if they decide to ādisappearā on me.šI still intend, though, to find out exactly why they never paid my Summer tuition bill. Stay tuned.
Also, I guess the tuition appeal I recently made is now moot? Still waiting to hear what they say anyway. They may decide to dig into the NY state issueāask them why they didnāt pay for my Summer classesš³
So Monday 08/25/25, I stopped by QCC financial aid to deal with the free college program. They had asked me the previous week to make sure I do my 2025-26 FAFSA & TAP and then come back to do an application for the free program. So I came in thinking I would have to sit down and fill an actual application.
This time around however, the lady FinAid lady told me there was no separate application needed, and that the main financial aid office will figure that out themselves depending on what happens to my FAFSA & TAPāwhich kinda made sense, so I didnāt push the issue further even though her workmate had told me last week that I needed to do an application.
I told her however that I got caught up this Summer semester because TAP did not pay my tuition. She told me now that the free program is in effect and Iām clearly eligible, she doesnāt see how I will get stuck with the bill. So we left it at that. I kinda agreed with what she said. In other words, the TI alarm šØ did not go off while I was talking to her. If it did, I would have asked to speak to someone elseš
