Oops! $114 billion

 

 

More than $114 billion exited the biggest U.S. banks this month, and nobody’s quite sure why.

The Federal Reserve releases data on the assets and liabilities of commercial banks every Friday. The most current figures, covering the first full week of 2013, show the largest one-week withdrawals since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Even when seasonally adjusted, the level drops to $52.8 billion—still the third-highest amount on record, and one for which bank experts and analysts were reluctant to give a definitive explanation.

The most obvious culprit is the expiration of the Transaction Account Guarantee program, the extraordinary federal effort to shore up the country’s non-gigantic banks during the 2008 financial crisis. Big banks were considered “too big to fail,” while smaller ones were vulnerable to runs. The TAG program backstopped their deposit bases by temporarily offering unlimited insurance on money kept in non-interest-bearing accounts. That guarantee ended on Dec. 31, so a decrease in deposits would be expected first thing in January.  <more>

Will They Shoot American Citizens?

 

Reports surfaced Jan. 22 that Dr. Jim Garrow, a 2009 Peace Prize Nominee, made a stunning claim on his Facebook page.  Apparently, he had been informed, by a top military member, that the Obama administration had started a new test for its newly appointed military leaders.  These future leaders are being asked whether or not they will follow orders given to them - to engage and fire on American citizens. 

As the founder of an organization known as,”The Pink Pagoda Girls”, Dr. Jim Garrow has been instrumental in “helping rescue more than 36,000 Chinese baby girls from death”. These girls had fallen victim to what is known as gendercide. His work has also led to a high degree of credibility, which makes this claim all the more disturbing and totally deserving of attention.

The recent post on his Facebook page has cause a bit of a stir;

“I have just been informed by a former senior military leader that Obama is using a new “litmus test” in determining who will stay and who must go in his military leaders. Get ready to explode folks. The new litmus test of leadership in the military is if they will fire on US citizens or not. Those who will not are being removed.”

Alex and his staff, at InfoWars.com, reported that Garrow later said his main purpose for coming forward with this information was to “sound the alarm”.  An alarm that has been heard all across our globe.

The profound testament, made by Dr.Garrow and posted on his Facebook page, comes on the heels of events currently taking place, which by themselves are causing a great deal of turmoil in the good ole’ USA. 

Recent, brewing Gun Control measures, huge amounts of ammunition requisitioned by all branches of Federal Government and the rumors of Foreign Military on our soil to be used during a massive Martial Law declaration, only serve to validate the claim made by Dr. Garrow.  This chain of events seems to be lining up for something major to happen.  Unfortunately, it appears that it will involve all of us, even you!  So, I think the correct response is to stock up on Rice and Beans and get ready to “dig in” and pray that all of this is incorrect.

Gun Ban is on the Way

 

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) discusses the bill to ban what are being called assault weapons.  January 24, 2013, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said that she is going to introduce a bill to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds.  Senator Feinstein said that this is an attempt to stop gun violence.

Civil War to Overthrow the US Government

The fears of foreign troops on our soil, waiting to assist with Martial Law and Gun Confiscation, in addition to the myriad of restrictions being placed on all of us, seems to have ignited one, who goes by the name  “Anonymous”.

In his latest video, the movement or group has called for the most aggressive action yet. They’re asking the American people to join them in a “call to arms” for the destruction and overthrow of the US Government.
Civil War in the USA?  Seriously, I think all of us expected this to happen sooner or later.  However, I think we were all hoping for it to happen later.  Well, hang on!  It looks like it’s going to be a wild ride ahead of us…



“The United States Government insists on labeling us as terrorists. The question is, “who do we terrorize?” Is it probable that the United States government is truly afraid of we, the people?”

“They are not calling for denial of service attacks on government websites or protests as is their normal modus operandi, but for freedom activists to join them in full-blown war to overthrow the US Government and return it to the control of the people.”

“We are not calling upon the collective to deface or use a distributed denial of service attack on a United States government agency website, or affiliate. We are not calling upon the people to once again occupy a city or protest in front of a local building, This has not brought on us any legislative change or alternate law. It has only brought us bloodshed and false criticism.”

“For the last 12 years, voting has been useless. Corporations and lobbyists are the true leaders of this country and are the ones with the power to control our lives, To rebuild our government, we must first destroy it. Our time for democracy is here, Our time for resolution is here, This is America’s time for revolution, To restore our constitutional rights, to once again, be free therefore, Anonymous along with the American people have decided to openly declare war on the United States government. This is a call to arms.”  Activist Post

Oregon Up In Smoke

 

Forget the Surgeon General, if you live in Oregon you may have to start watching over your shoulder for the “Cigarette Police”. 

Rep. Mitch Greenlick, from Portland Oregon has  introduced a bill in the State Legislature to reduce the number of addicted people.  So, if someone is wanting to quit smoking cigarettes, Oregon is the place to live.  According to Greenlick's Bill, he's added a bit of motivation to stop smoking.  Under Greenlick’s proposal, smokers would be charged with a misdemeanor and face up to one year’s imprisonment and a $6,250 fine for being caught with a cigarette or any of the other Schedule III controlled substances, including ketamine, lysergic acid and anabolic steroids.

The Greenlick Bill would classify cigarettes as a Schedule III controlled substance, making them illegal to purchase without a doctor’s prescription.  The bill also prohibits the State Board of Pharmacy from adopting rules that exempt any nicotine products from the legislation, which would include chewing tobacco, nicotine patches and gums, among others.

Law enforcement agencies would have the right to inspect all products that they believe might contain nicotine.  “A person commits the crime of unlawful possession of nicotine if the person knowingly possesses more than 0.1 milligram of nicotine,” the legislation states.

Passing such a bill would also prompt criminals to begin illegally selling cigarettes in Oregon, where they would be able to charge potential buyers more than in other states. Addicted smokers would pay large amounts of money to get ahold of cigarettes.  Oregon state would lose some of its tax revenue, since it currently receives about $1.18 per pack of cigarettes.
