3 young French Guys call for a Bankrun for this Day,
that anyone take all the Money at this Day from his account,
to show the Bankers, that whe do know about what they do.

I will join them, and may even one or two Days earlier
take unused Money from it. Who can, pls join this.

Thanks for posting this, Joit. For those who haven't heard about this previously, this is a worldwide effort to take the BIG banks and bankers to task by having people withdraw any money they have deposited with these banks. I don't know how successful this plan will be in the United States, as the effort began later here than in Europe, but whatever happens I think it will send a clear and long overdue message to the bankers, and it really is the only peaceful direct action recourse we can take against them. Those who live in the US can read an informative article about the planned bank run in English at this site. If you have any money deposited at any of the banks listed here then you would be wise to either withdraw earlier than December 7th, or be first in line that day.

Banks will not comply

Just before Washington Mutual failed and was taken over by Chase we were alerted to the problems and attempted to remove the funds we had on deposit. We were lucky and unlucky as we could only pull about 1/5th of what we wanted. They informed us that for large sum cash withdrawals you must make an advance request and it will be five business days to obtain the sums.

Because of the pending 'Bank Holiday' where the dollar is said to collapse we have again started to remove funds although now they will not disperse more than 2500 a time without advance notice - this is no joke.... your money and you have to give them advance notice and wait to receive it.

Therefore one best check on what their bank is doing and realize that they will clean out their cash very quickly and start a limit policy at once when they see what is going to take-place.

A person should convert to Gold or Silver as when the dollar falls it will make no difference if it is in your pocket or the bank - you suffer the loss.

There may be a way around the Withdrawal limitations: Transfer to another bank.... To small locally-owned banks, and best of all, Credit Unions (unfortunately, there are far fewer of these left in the US than there used to be... which is part of the problem in the first place).

These Transfers would appear (at least in the past), to go unhindered by the above problems of actual Withdrawal... because our "money" in them is just electronic bits, counters that do not exist in the real world. To transfer from one bank to another, is just a change of those digital bits. But an actual Withdrawal, is another matter and requires the fiat paper to actually be on hand to back what the bank claims to have

write yourself a check

A transfer should work but without even having to deal with the bank,
couldn't someone just write themselves a check and deposit into the other
small local bank or credit union for any amount they have in their acct -
keeping in mind the "minimum" required amount without fees being charged.

Spokane is big on credit unions - there are a lot of them - seems there is
a credit union for everything, teachers, you name it. Also, all our credit
unions in this town are partnered where you can go into any branch of
any credit union to withdraw or deposit money. If I make a deposit in another
credit union, it will show up in my own credit union account within 48 hours.
I have actually never done that but they are all partnered like that for
convenience.

Not sure if it is typical the way credit unions work but mine is "member
owned" and this year, it just hit $1 billion - in deposits I guess is what
that is supposed to mean.

@Aaron
I think there are a few different yet tightly connected issues here and I think a credit union or local bank is or can be of limited value.

The Dec. 7 issue is to tell banks we are in control (sure), yet that will not work as they are indeed in control, they do have the ability and desire to stop withdrawals should something like this become problematic. It of course falls under DHS, gee people putting the banks out of business is a threat to the country, right?

Anyway a run on the banks to teach them a lesson could not work as the movies portray it, the Feds are to deep in control now to allow any form of intimidation like this from the common terrorist US citizen as they love to label all of us.

The best way to get to them and would not cost that much on an individual basis is for everyone to buy a single ounce of silver, right now it is about $26.61. Even here the feds play games and like with gold move it up and down to scare people away. Think of it, 300 million ounces of silver in private hands, the big bands would go under for sure.

Another problem is the drop in the dollar. I remember in the 70's the feds had warehouses full of Pink Money. Their plan at that time was to call in all current monies and replace it with the pink stuff. When the dead line was reached and if you did not exchanges, you lost. Then they would issue a new money in exchange for the interim pink funny money.

Just think of what this would cause and better yet lets say we do something similar, call in all the money and hand you back a smart card.

I do not feel a credit union or local bank will be of much real value...

[Joit]

Someone pointed out allready to buy Silver, because it -shall- increase 4x-7x Times in Price.

And, another strange Story in this Times, Peoples do buy very much from Gold,
there are a lot Peoples lined up, to get each Months some.
But owell, i am not sure, if this is only Advertise or real.
Maybe we should really get some Silverbullions as Pillow.

This is an initiation of this movement, we should keep and spread this movement all year round. If banks stop people from withdrawing money at once, ok no problem withdraw them on a longer time schedule and minimize bank service to minimum possible.

limiting withdrawals

I heard Bank of America and another large one has already been limiting
people's withdrawals.

Also, sounds like they are trying to offer up checks in the amount of some
of their withdrawals. Sounds like anything in order to prevent them from
getting cash.

Also, someone else I know is on social security disability. He got a letter
from the dept of the treasury trying to get him to accept payment
on a debit card instead of receiving a check. So it will be in some
treasury account controlled by them (not that banks aren't controlled)
but just one step to separate people from the money. I'm not sure if it
was asking him to opt into that program or telling him that is what they
are going to do.

I deal with the government in a few ways and they are pushing the "debit card" as a way of payment on multiple fronts.

My wife's unemployment payments are on a debit card. I also have a daughter who is on food stamps while she goes to school, on another debit card.

[Mad Scientist]

It is only natural that they like debit cards. With a fraction banking system the more money that is in the system the more imaginary money it allows them to create out of thin air.

[jibbguy]

Debit cards are such a integrated part of the system, that it could no longer operate without them. There is not nearly enough "cash" for everyone to use now for even basic food purchases, not by an order of magnitude at least... despite the trillions in issued tender ( please note that the banks who leverage assets to ISSUE MONEY THEMSELVES as "loans" from thin air, do not actually print anything... this leveraged "money" exists only in computers).

Sure, checks (cheques) were used for decades before debit cards. But these have very specific laws regarding them, and there is the obvious physical nature of the paper, that cost the banks much more to process than the cards and electronic exchanges do.

The fact is, that most "Dollars", as in actual paper money, exist outside of the US now. There are dozens of nations where Dollars are the back-door accepted and desired "black market" currency... because that country's currency cannot be trusted not to devalue overnight (... or because all transactions in it are carefully monitored and taxed). In these "black market" cases that happen millions of times every day, obviously "hard cash" is the only possibility
