There was an Italian bank run scare in at the beggining of August that really started the gears in motion for the possibilities of future bank runs.
Financial blogs predicted a run on the French banks during the economic turmoil in the EU and Eurozone countries. Many corporations in France have moved their money out of French banks and into safer short term holdings for the time being.
The bank run issue even hit mainstream media in the United States, covered here by NPR.
Since the Occupy protests have started, big banks have been the prime target of disgruntled humans for their corrupt practices of taking peoples homes, robbing the elderly, and funding many illicit activities that normal Americans would face prison time over.
On September 30th, families and individual customers of Bank of America had a sit in protest to show civil disobedience against the megabank. 20+ of the protesters were arrested.
This was also covered on the local mainstream media news in Boston.
It would seem as if America is done with the megabanks, and for good reason. I came across this blog recently and information that there is a bank run being planned in the United States on December 7th. Operation Bank Run 7th Of December:
Many have already closed their accounts with the megabanks. I closed mine years ago, after the financial disaster in 2008 and the bank bailouts. Many are closing their accounts today.
In horrendous fashion, Citibank held more than twenty of their customers hostage and imprisoned them until police could come to arrest them all.
The video above shows a well dressed customer of Citibank outside talking with another customer about having been inside and having tried to close her account. A plain-clothes' officer then starts yelling from behind her and drags her and her friend inside the bank to be arrested with the other Citibank customers. This is simply egregious activity by the officers in New York and the megacorporation Citigroup.
The end of the international banking cartel, their fiat currency that is imploding society by design, and the revival of sound money is at hand. But we must first be sure to force these too big to fail banks into oblivion. Let us keep the pressure up on them, and force their monopolies to come down. If the government and our 'elected representatives' won't stand up for the rule of law we must come together to enforce it ourselves through direct democracy and nonparticipation.
It is a strategy my teacher recommends when things get real bad. Let me find the quote:
(Precept 10.)
"SUPPORT A GOVERNMENT DESIGNED AND RUN FOR ALL THE PEOPLE"
"Unscrupulous and evil men and groups can usurp the power of government and use it to their own ends."
...
"Opposition to such governments usually just brings on more violence."
"But one can raise his voice in caution when such abuses are abroad."
"And one need not actively support such a government; doing nothing illegal, it is still possible, by simply withdrawing one's cooperation, to bring about eventual reform."
...
"On the other hand, where a government is obviously working hard for ALL its people, rather than for some special interest group or insane dictator, one should support it to the limit."
