By now, everyone has heard about the unprecedented move the Bankers have taken in the EU: they are going into the bank accounts of ordinary people and grabbing money. This actually has been going on over here but under a different name: it was first done by George W. Bush, because what else is a bailout? It’s stealing money from the taxpayers and giving money to the bankers and the rich who are “too big to fail.”
The very fact that the Bankers and the EU do not consider it “stealing” from private property, but just “taxing’ —goes beyond belief. It’s sets a precedent for future leaders all over the world to go into everyone’s bank accounts and take whatever they like.
Nobody Thinks, that a “cashless’ economy…..(debit cards, online banking) ..while seemingly a step forward in not having to lug around dollar bills…is quite a double edge sword. When banks hand over money that is not theirs to give, in order to keep themselves and the rich propped up…then the convenience of having a bank account, goes out the door.
I tell young kids that I talk to, that paying all their bills online to me is very scary. They look at me like I’m nuts. Who doesn’t get those bank statements trying to urge everyone to put EVERYTHING on their credit cards?—Groceries, gas, all your daily needs. They WANT a cashless society.
The people in Cyprus, the ones who can’t even get at their money, are right now in disbelieve: They are wishing they had that hard cash in their own hands, and not in the bank. It’s cold hard theft what the bankers are doing, and even though they admit it, no man or woman in any bank or government will go to jail for it.
And that’s how powerful the wealthy one percent have become. That’s why Joe Biden can run up half a million dollar hotel bill, and nothing is done to him for theft. Because that’s what it is: he is stealing our money.
Sooner or later the people will rebel. And that’s why…they want our guns…because they will be coming after more of our cash, you can bet your grandmother’s shiny penny on it.
If you are a poor British retired soldier, living out your life on the Island of Cyprus, you woke up and found out that the EU, decided it was running out of money, and so, they “taxed” your savings. They just reached inside your pocket like the good elite oligarchs they are, and grabbed what they felt they could.
If you are too late getting to the bank, the banks will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday because, they have a lot of pillaging to do.
Russian citizens account for the majority of the billions of Euros held in Cypriot banks by foreign depositors, and Russian banks are heavily exposed to the island as a favored offshore centre for big business. tired-looking Christine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund, appeared to have lost track of the calendar and wished weary reporters a “happy St Patrick’s Day” a full day early. She made no reference to a deposit levy, talking only of “burden sharing.” Several EU officials blamed Anastasiades for insisting on low contributions from uninsured deposits, hurting his country’s small savers to protect wealthy depositors, many foreigners. Under the new proposal, smaller depositors with up to €100,000 would be taxed at 3%; savers with €100,000 to €500,000 would be taxed at 10%; and those with more than €500,000 at 15%. despite all the promises, your savings are vulnerable to arbitrary confiscation.
But have heart! Those deposits could have been rendered even more worthless when the ECB cuts off its funding to Cypriot banks, a decision which would — through devaluation and insolvency — lead to depositors losing as much as 60% of their money.
Well, it’s the same old song isn’t it? “We must all share the burden.” and “It could have been so much worse.” The elites of the world, who continue to tax and steal money from the rest of us, are basically saying: Hey…we only took off your legs..it could have been worse..we could have KILLED you!
In the meantime, Japan will begin pumping huge amounts of yen into the economy, and our own Federal Reserve is pumping money too.
There seems to be more to it than simply wanting money. It’s the Russians that are going to be hurt the most…because they are sending Naval ships to the region.
Russia is helping Syria, and are sending Navel ships into the area. Simply put… they can’t get into Syria as long as this money stream is flowing through Cyprus. And the reason Cyprus is suffering…is also due to a very expensive explosion in 2011 which cost them billions:
Ruskies have at least 50 billion euros stalled in Cyprus. They have open storage on the base were 98 containers of explosives that had been seized by the United States Navy in 2009 after it intercepted a Cypriot-flagged, Russian owned vessel, the MV Monchegorsk travelling from Iran to Syria in the Red Sea. According to leaked US cables through Wiki Leaks, released in 2011, the US through Hillary Clinton exerted pressure on Cyprus to confiscate the shipment. The ship was escorted to a Cypriot port and the Cyprus Navy was given responsibility for the explosives, which it moved to the Evangelos Florakis a month later. At the time of the incident in 2011, the explosives had apparently been left in the open for over two years. The Cypriot government had declined offers from Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States to remove or dispose of the material, having feared an adverse reaction from Syria. The government had instead requested that the UN effect the removal, but claimed that its request had been rejected.
While the average American doesn’t get much news about the EU…we can only imagine how we would feel if we woke up one day…went online, and found out our “savings” had been taxed.
Obama has been looking at a way to “borrow” from our 401K’sand Pensions plans. Could our government be thinking about doing the same thing?
Somebody has to notice this besides me…somebody. There is a battlefield attack game that the Democrats use over and over again in politics….it goes like this: Whatever crime they are committing..they accuse the other fellow of doing it, and claim outrage, while they continue to commit the very crime they are accusing the other fellow of doing.
Nobody calls it for lack of a better name— The Scrooge Bomb
In simple terms…Picture a bully beating up a boy in a schoolyard. The boy starts to fight back…the teacher comes out, and the bully says, “That boy just HIT me!” So the teacher punishes the boy who was attacked and did nothing. The other boy, the bully, goes home with a smile, and beats up the kid the next day.
Today, Harry Reid came out to the media ..and said this:
“Now is the time to show leadership, not kick the can down the road.”
Now, most people just hear that soundbite, and think Harry is telling the truth, because he says it boldy and loudly. But, if you are following the daily news, it’s Obama and the Democrats who are “kicking the can down the road” by not fixing our problems. Harry even came out and accused the Republicans of keeping the country from recovering. At the same time, the Democrats attack the rich, knowing FULL well that the 1 percent at the top, will never pay taxes, BUT they want YOUto think those are the people they are going to tax.
It’s a lie. A bold lie. The people who will get taxed and suffer the most ARE the poor. The very rich have already protected their billions. That’s why they all say, “Hey, I should pay more taxes!” They can say that because they know they have all their money in offshore accounts.
I was watching this scene last night from Dickens’ Christmas Carol, and when I heard this last line, about how the excess population should just die, I thought to myself: That sounds JUST like Obamacare, because we all know Obamacare is designed to shorten the lives of the baby boomers, for one simple reason: They need more working people to collect more taxes, and 90 million people sucking money out of the health care system is too much: It’s pure math to them. But notice how the video accuse the Republicans.
SCROOGE BOMB.
Obama is trying to lead us to the European Model, and this was reported today:
France should allow doctors to “accelerate the coming of death” for terminally ill patients, a report to President Francois Hollande recommended Tuesday. Belgium is considering a significant change to its decade-old euthanasia law that would allow minors and Alzheimer’s sufferers to seek permission to die.
When Obama says grandma should just take a pill and die quietly, he meant it.
As I watched this version of Dickens’, I could not help but compare what the elites in the world, who are all in the very income bracket that they are claiming they want to tax, go on: Scrooge…made his money in the stock market. He was a rich man. He didn’t share his wealth with the poor. There is a socialist lean-to this version of A Christmas Carol…and I wonder if Dickens’ book had the very same lines. I must admit, I’ve never read it.
For some reason, I thought the whole thing was less about redistributing money than knowing the joy of getting back to people and family, and charity of the heart.
But, even in Dickens’ time, there were those who knew how to play the stock market and got very rich, and big money makes MORE money, and all you have to do is sit and collect your dividends. As we have seen, in the crash of 2008, everything was all about saving the stock market, and the rich’s dividends, which they did.
The rich, including almost all in Congress, have actually tripled their fortunes since 2008.
Emmanuel Saez, an economist at the University of California, Berkeley, estimates the top 1 percent have received 52 percent of the economic growth from 1993 through 2010. By contrast, real median household income (inflation adjusted) has increased by less than 1/5 of 1 percent since 1980, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
So, don’t let anyone tell you that Reagan destroyed the economy. It was the Clinton’s that made the rich richer, and the middle class disappeared, and the Bush’s helped. And unless the Republicans get better at pointing out the fact of this little game the democrats play.. The Scrooge bomb….they will always lose.
But then again, maybe as long as they are in the 1 percent themselves, they just don’t care.
This week, we have two bank robbers…Daniel Hegwood and HSBC.
We truly do have the rich VS the poor in this story: Let’s start with Daniel.
Daniel Hegwood, 33, entered a downtown Wells Fargo over the weekend, told a teller he had a dangerous bomb inside the fast food bag and demanded money. He then fled on foot with a “substantial” amount of cash, leaving the bag behind, police said.
Yep…he figured he’s just take a McDonalds bag, fill it with an apple pie, and point it at the teller. It worked, but they did catch him, so he will be spending some days if not spending his loot, getting apple pies in jail. By the looks of him, it could be a godsend he was caught.
And then we have HSBC…or should I say, half the HSBC bank’s officials who have been laundering money for Mexican Drug Cartels. Their apple pie is , American Express, and thousands of stolen identities to set up fake accounts.
This report from the most impeccable Jerome Corsi of WND:
A former employee of HSBC in New York has 1,000 pages of customer account records he claims are evidence of an international money-laundering scheme involving hundreds of billions of dollars by the global banking giant, which reportedly is under investigation by a U.S. Senate committee. John Cruz has delivered to WND customer account records he says he pulled from the HSBC computer system before he was fired.
Cruz was terminated Feb. 17, 2010, after two years at HSBC for “poor performance,” but he contends he was let go because senior management didn’t want to him to pursue his personal investigation.
One of the largest banks in the world, London-based HSBC has about 7,500 offices in more than 80 countries and territories in Europe, North and South America, the Asia-Pacific region, the Middle East and Africa.
Cruz told WND he has “firsthand knowledge and proof of how HSBC transferred billions of dollars through accounts linked to companies that did not exist.” Cruz said that in the two years he worked for HSBC, he eventually discovered that money laundering was being carried out not only by branch managers but also by senior officers of the bank, both within the U.S. and internationally.
“From what I saw, I came to suspect HSBC had become the Mexican drug cartels’ bank of choice,” he said.
Well, there you go.
Who gets the award for the Nobody’s Perfect, biggest bank robbing scumbag of the week?
Do you HAVE to ask?
And to think, I have taken out many a loan from HSBC. Not only did the London Banks get trillions of our stimulus dollars, it seems they are getting a fair amount of stimulus from our drug addicts.
By the way, the people whose identities were stolen had no clue they had billion dollars in accounts.
Too bad they didn’t put Daniel Hegwood’s name on one of those accounts….He wouldn’t have had to rob a bank.
