Bank Holiday Rumors Swirl Amidst Currency Crisis

With the world on the verge of a currency war as the Federal Reserve follows through on its dollar-killing quantitative easing program, rumors are once again swirling of a "bank holiday," during which US citizens will be prevented from withdrawing money or at least limited in the amount of the withdrawal they can make.

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The bank holiday is rumored to be set for next week, with Thursday November 11 pinpointed as the likeliest date..[/FONT]

    I can't even take the slightest bit of notice of an financial article, which presumably wants to be taken seriously, that has this picture next to it:

    America is accelerating to 'end of empire' faster than many expected. Obviously international-socialist Obama and his white-hating cronies know they've only got 18 months to clear all the chips off the table before being kicked out, so anything could happen there. Plus, like Clown, they will want to scorch the earth for the incoming administration.

    It looks like America has lost the ability to innovate and generate wealth and instead making classic end of empire 'plays' of foreign wars to secure assets and resources. Private asset appropriation in the USA will provide a 10-15 year delay, but economic and social collapse is inevitable. There must be many who think that a separation from the Southern 'black'/democratic states would be desirable.

    From the article:
    According to radio host Steve Quayle, a pastor was told by one of the managers of a prominent east coast bank that banks would close for an undetermined amount of time, and that when they reopened, "all withdrawals by checks would be limited to $500 per week - no matter what the balance in the account is."
    So to summerise, this whole article is based on an unnamed bank manager who had a chat, for some reason, with a unnamed pastor who then decided that the best course of action was to report this news to a man who appears to make a living writing books about humans becoming "blasphemous combinations of human and animal genetic materials, of man/machine cyborgs" and how gods are "coming to Earth to consort with the beautiful Daughters of men."

    I was going to say that you couldn't make it up, but appears someone already has. I love your articles Ash, heaven knows where you get them from.

    You're such a pr*ck.

    And what has this got to do with a bridge linking a floor made of money to a floor made up of gold over a ravine filled with over-sized toy crocodiles?

    Most Southern states are Republican, especially after this week's elections, so I'm not seeing where this split is going to come from.

    Your grasp of US politics is pretty sketchy, to say the least (why am I not surprised...LOL!). The last time the 'Southern' states were largely Democratic was in the time of President Lincoln, over 140 years ago. The American South has, for many many years, been largely Republican by some margin. The Northern states, especially the industrial/financial urban centres, have been largely Democratic.

    Do you believe the "democrat" and "republican" politicians are different?
