Note the little man standing in front of white house. The little worm next to lastfootball field is a truck with $2 billion dollars.
There is no government in the world that has this kind of money. This is roughly 3 times the entire world economy. The unregulated market presents a massive financial risk. The corruption and immorality of the banks makes the situation worse.

If you don’t want to bank with these banks, but want to have access to free ATM’s anywhere– most Credit Unions in USA are in the CO-OP ATM network, where all ATM’s are free to any COOP CU member and most support depositing checks. The Credit Unions are like banks, but invest all their profits to give members lower rates and better service. They don’t have shareholders to worry about or have derivatives to purchase and sell.

Keep an eye out in the news for “derivative crisis”, as the crisis is inevitable with current falling value of most real assets.

As a former banker I can assure the readers that a complete and total destruction of these bloated banks is what will be needed to drain the swamp, correct the markets, reboot the national and international finance system so we can get back to real honest money, financial systems and a means of the average person to get a leg up. I've seen 3 major bank destruction cycles from 1975 to this present day When these thousands of national banks failed in the 1970's, 1980's and 1990's people said the world would fall apart. It didn't. We muddled through and got back on track. Of course the newer bankers screwed things up once again. Once again we rebooted the system and this will happen again and again. Banks and debt will always cause national failures, recessions and depressions for just a couple of basic reasons.
In my prior post that Banks are sting operations, if you give a banker enough time they will screw up the system because they are NOT THAT SMART and their math skills are deficient. Leaving bankers in charge of other people's money and a government that guarantees the customers that their money is safe---well, those results speak for themselves.
Recessions come up every 6 years or so. Its a brush clearing event and vitally needed so that we can remove the deadwood and excesses of the system, allow new entrepreneurs and businesses to work their way back up. Without this clearing we have a massive overburden of deadwood and hampered growth that makes it impossible for and to economy grow.
Since the system had not been allowed to reboot even after the tech wreck, the real estate bubble, the present equity bubble inflated by trillions in excess cash in the system and the ultimate bubble, the tens of trillions in US, Euro and international bonds that will explode downward in value to zero when rates skyrocket due to inflation and currency printing the day of reckoning is going to be a beast.
This is going to be so painful it will be like having a major and very dangerous operation when a simple course of antibiotics would have let us handle a rountine infection. You think you are going to die, its that bad. Bro Jo just got a 'fear of god' wake up call when he went into the hospital. He found out his BP and weight were a real threat to his life. He got a second chance. Many don't
So, aside from an Extinction Level Event like a complete Fukushima melt down or an asteroid hitting the earth, we will muddle through, probably with something like a Galtian lights-out-New York event, painful but fixable. There have been more major bank failures in the history of the world than countries that housed these banks. The US has had plenty of national bank failures and we came back healthier than ever. The only way we can reboot our American system is by clearing the bank and national debt and get back to the business of being America, not some sinister corpulent, megalomanical entity that is eating its citizens.

OneTinSoldier May 5, 2012 at 3:07 PMIn wonder what a bankers idea of 'relaxing and unwinding' is? Lol.

As I made in a reply in the topic below this one about the comex, I hope it isn't too chaotic. But just in case, it's good to be prepared.

Gold is beautiful, gold is good. Same with Silver!

Thanks for the kind words SB I'm small time in the banking world but it's no small irony that I am still close to many banks and bankers, small time as well. It's kind of like that saying "Keep your fiends close and your enemies closer" I'm kind of like that mole that finds out the dirt before it splatters on us.
Keep up all your great posts and side bars They are all illuminating to us readers.

silverbullion May 5, 2012 at 6:31 PM
AG You're most welcome. I agree: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" - I am sure that those who are here, but who are actually the enemy, don't have much to report to their superiors: "Boss, it is the same as last month and the month before last month... in fact, since they started out, it is all about buying physical silver this, and physical silver that, while warning people about the fiat Ponzi scheme we're running. There is zero talk of bombs and illegal stuff".

"Keep up all your great posts and side bars They are all illuminating to us readers" - Thanks AG. I thought it was a pain in the butt. lol I will try to keep it up, but with the baby due in the next week or so, chances are great that I will be out of commission for a while... lol I can already see some smiles with a "thank goodness" expressed.
