There's a groundswell against the bank plan. CNBC's Rick Santelli was talking smack about it and was greeted with verbal high fives from the Chicago options trading board.

never going to happen. getting people en mass to do anything is like herding cats

that's the stupidiest fucking thing i've ever heard and it will flop just like the one in november flopped

this is a brilliant idea. If my bank ends up closing and I can't get my money because of this, I'll be sure to sue these people.

Yeah, I saw that on CNBC.

I wonder if the US government would consider acting in and/or organizing this an act of terrorism? :)

That's pretty damn interesting.

News flash the bank doesnt have your money in it. :helpme

i like ron paul. hell, i think the government is fucked. but plain and simple, the central bank provides necessary value.

Well the November prior to that was pretty successful for them:

oh yeah and not only does your bank not have your money, they are not obligated to give you CASH for it. :thumbsup

i read that link you provided but did not come across any end the fed info, did i miss something?

If even 10% of people did this, it would collapse banks en masse.

I obviously was not saying that they ended the Fed in November of 2007. Simply that the people behind organizing this are much the same as those involved in the very successful Ron Paul money bombs. The first of which was November 5th.

how will you pay your lawyer :winkwink:

The banks are way more overleveraged than that now. 6% to 8% would probably wreak havoc. You're right though. I would not take a very large percentage...

It could be big. Ive gotten this website in my email 3 times today from different friends, not spam.

i see. i misunderstood the intent of your post. either way, i find it more than irresponsible to market ending the fed with a run on the banks. stupid stupid stupid.

This would be the dumbest fucking thing to do... PERIOD. If anything it will play perfectly into the hands of the government. You want to completely destroy the US monetary system? Bankrupt the government, completely destroy the economy and you will be left holding green confetti and worthless metal...

Why?

Because it will be easier for them to trash the system and replace it with something else rather than to dig themselves out of the economic hole and attempt to meet the demands of the public. You think things are bad now, you haven't seen anything yet if this is successful.

The reality is, that date will come and go without much notice other than the fact the Terrorist Watch List will get a little bit longer.

I have said it once and I will say it again, but I doubt anyone will pay much heed...

BECAUSE of the Panic of 1907, which was STARTED BY A RUN ON THE BANKS, the Federal Reserve Act was created and the Federal Reserve was born.

If the Federal Reserve was the result of the last run on the banks, do you really think it will be replaced by anything better if THIS run on the banks is successful? It would be a convienent time for them to start putting in place the NAU.

x14

thank fucking god, someone with enough common sense to see the wrecklessness of such a ridiculous idea.

you are right, if it worked it would a we won ! wait we lost big time.

Im not doing it, for the reasons you posted but our founding fathers did some very reckless things.

Wow. if morons actually do this I hope someone puts a bullet in the head of whoevers great idea this was. Dumbass aging "anarchist" probably. They may want a revolution but are willing to fuck everyone over for it? FUck that. No one likes the current situation but there is no way doing that is going to make it better.

such as?

Is that a serious fucking question? :1orglaugh

If it's a no brainer case or its so obvious the case was put in a settlement fund, the lawyers would probably do it on contingency.:thumbsup

Wow what a uniquely idiotic idea. I wonder how many of the coffee house Marxists who support shit like this will survive in the aftermath. Fucking some people are truly too stupid to stay alive.

of course.

you can laugh all you want, but i was simply curious as to what your view was on the recklesness of our forefathers.

n/m though eh.

Maybe, but one thing is for sure... They wouldn't sit back and watch the government do what it is doing today.

Thomas Jefferson:
"A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference."

"A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government."

"The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered."

"For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security."

I have a hard time believing Dr. Paul is interested in inciting a bank run. Its career suicide and not the proper way to promote his agenda.

I doubt he would officially support this...

don't lump some idiot in with anarchists

I am an anarchist and we don't even believe in this type of shit

Sue people for taking their money out of the bank?

a. Retarded.
b. Not going to happen.

Half of the guys concerned enough to do this are already sitting on a small pile of gold coins like Gollum chanting "my precious", the other half can take out their extra dollar to take their balance down to $17.76 without doing too much damage.
I fail to see how this would be in any way productive in either the short or the long run. Even discounting something worse replacing the fed in the long term, whats to stop emergency anti terrorism legislation being used to have the fed print up another few trillion as a response to this anyways and completely be counter-productive?

"We are also asking all supporters to join as a precinct leader ($35)"

well you're going to be taking your money out anyway amirite? lol. If only I had the minerals to cash out on the hoopleheads like this.
