Jan 15th Bank holiday?

[Spinner]

I received the quoted information in an email. I don't usually pay much attention to these emails as I get them pretty often, but this one included contact info so I called the phone number. The man who answered the phone says this is true. On the phone he told me that the uncle is gathering his family and moving them into a bunker on Jan 10th. We talked for quite a while. He said something about the elite in control of the country plans to default on loans. They are going into the bunker cause they expect bio-warfare to be used against the country. There was a little bit of talk about states sovereignty, etc. Overall, it sounds like the country has been sold out and someone "in the know" is gathering up his family to protect them from what's coming very soon. He talked about people leaving the country and even told me which country to go to if that was an option.

I intend to keep my eyes open around the 10th and immediately after.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

I do not normally pass on rumors or here-say but a very good personal friend's uncle is a Deputy Economic Advisor to Obama as well as a Professor at a prestigious Eastern school. He was called into a private meeting last week with the President. They were told, I quote the Following: " Between now and Jan 1st 70 more big banks will fail and 70% of Retail Companies will be Bankrupt. The President will allow them to make as much as they can for the Christmas Holidays then Jan 15 there will be a Bank holiday and their new currency will be issued with a devaluation of 6 to 10 to 1." I believe this why they are trying to keep the market and dollar up now with their lies on all the News outlets. Set up the people to steal very last penny they can get. Martial Law can not be too far behind. Get your money out of banks and into physical Gold and silver, I recommend 60% Gold 40% silver, food, Foundation seed, guns, ammo, generators ...etc.

If you can not eat it, drink it, wear it, live in it, raise food on it, do not invest in it. If you have stocks, bonds 401K, IRA take the penalty and put it in what I just said. If you have substancial funds call me privately and I can help. And remember get far away from the Cities!!!!! This is first hand information and I would take it very seriously.

Which country did he say to go to?

[WanderingOak]

To me it sounds like paranoia. Personally, with gold trading at over 1160/oz, now seems to be the worst time to invest in it...

[Loquisimo]

I dunno. Anybody can put his phone number in an email. You call the number and they guy "confirms" the story. That's a new one on me, but the rumormongers have been trying to make their stories sound "verified" for so long that nothing surprises me anymore. Since I don't have the means to leave the country or get far far away from any cities (and presumably into Montana), I guess I will just have to die along with everybody else.

I should call that guy up and ask him if there's nothing I should do, should I kill myself. If he says yes, that would be a big WHOA to me, either the guy is for real or he's willing to sacrifice others for his own gain, in which case anybody who would urge somebody he doesn't know over the phone to kill himself would be seriously screwed up. Bio Warfare would be able to kill us all, no matter where we live, because diseases spread on the air, and a good bioweapon would be able to live forever in the air.

WanderingOak, I agree with you on that. I've read that the true value of gold is $20 per ounce. Gold is currently inflated. The question we can't answer is: "will gold go back to it's true value or will it continue to inflate in the future?" I've read that it will never drop below $1000 an ounce, but I can remember when we thought it would never go over $100 an ounce. I don't have a crystal ball and have no idea what it will do in the future.

Ernie, I forgot what country he said is safest. Since that's not an option for me, I didn't pay a lot of attention to that part of the conversation. He mentioned a couple countries he's lived in and I don't remember which he recommended. His number is in the quote so anyone who wants can call him and ask.

I read something very similar on the 'net a couple of months back, only the date for this bank holiday and change in currency was supposed to happen in August. Oh, here you go, found it:

FYI, I had a conversation with my friend in international banking yesterday and tried to warn him about the impending bank holiday and currency exchange. He said that because he works with people at the top (Rothschilds and Rockefellers, etc) he would know if this were true. He did however confirm again that all central banks have been stocking up on the new Amero currency. I encouraged him to check out my info.

Well, I received this in an e-mail from him just a few hours after our phone conversation:
"As to your Bank Holiday information of this morning, the following is from a close CIA connection, the way it will come down is that starting 8/24, groups of banks will be closed in certain regions of the country for a week or so. They will open again, and then other groups of banks in different regions will be closed; and on and on it will go, until all the banks in the country have gone through that process.

The banks will be opened with a new global currency. Indeed the ratio will be
1 to 6, or 1 to12. Thus, if you had formerly $6M in the Bank, after a ratio of 1 to 6 with the new currency, you will get 1M value in the supposed new legal tender."

Time will tell, but this guy would not lightly say this, and he does have the CIA connections for that info.

My suggestion is that any of you who have much money in the bank might want to consider changing some of it to GOLD COINS, Swiss Francs or some other safer currency before the End of August.

Didn't happen back in August

The more the rumor roller coaster loops and turns, rises and falls, the more grateful I am for having completely withdrawn from the game.
Life here is hard, but it is independently sustainable.

I grew weary years ago with all the conspiracy theories floating about.
Granted, the day will come, but I'm convinced that the best course of action is to set up housekeeping in such a way that you are beyond the reach of and the need for "their" perks, conveniences and economies.

The true value of gold is 20/ounce ? Maybe...if you actually HAD dollars, and they were tied like a rock to gold or silver or SOMETHING real.

Unfortunately, there ARE NO DOLLARS.....there are simply Federal Reserve Notes that they print the word "dollar" on.....which in time will mean no more than if you bought green toilet paper ( they sell it around St. Patrick's day ) and took a Sharpie and wrote "100 dollars" on a piece of it.

Gold IS NOT INFLATED....it merely reflects the world opinion on the value of fiat paper.......and since they have an UNLIMITED ability to print fiat paper, and seem to be willing to do so, gold, in fiat terms, will continue to rise. Gold is NOT going up.....paper is going DOWN.

Seems foolish to buy gold at 1162 fiat ? Well, when gold is 2000 or 5000 fiat, and fiat buys a whole lot less handy things like OIL, you'll kick yourself for being suckered by the FED and the feds.

You buy gold to save for a rainy day, like you USED to save dollars....but dollars no longer exist.....only the shell of a dollar is left.....redeemable for nothing but more of them.

Gold will NOT make you rich, but if you're lucky, it will preserve what you have NOW. Fiat paper will steal everything you ever worked for.....country after country has seen it happen, and now it comes to a location near you.

That is the most unlikely thing I've read or heard in a while. And I read a lot of foolishness.

Well I hope it has more punch than the last 3 predicted Bank Holidays, Sept. Oct. & Nov. I hardly noticed them.

Now as for offering to help take care of my excess funds, thanks anyway he is running a bit late.

So If I have one or two dollars (FRN) in "the bank" when the hammer drops, I will then have somewhere around 17 cents. Will it matter. Will there be a charge by the "poor" bankers of $2 or so for having a low balance in the account?

Would someone like to trade a bucket of nuts and bolts for a goat or two?

Bingo. Whoever this "Lion of Judah" joker is, he's decided to make the rumor seem real. People are calling this guy, and God only knows what he's advising them to do-probably he's steering business to some unscrupulous PM's dealer or has some scam set up for "safe" offshore deposits.

There are plenty of metals dealers out there who cater to survivalists, selling the gullible drastically marked up PM or PM that is less than pure. If you want to buy PM, buy it from a reputable dealer like APMEX at apmex.com. I saw one post on another forum from some guy who got ripped off with "Stagecoach Silver" (slogan: "For when you need to get out of Dodge") that was marked off into quarters. The sucker was sold it for WAY above spot.

I've heard of survivalists being sold phony "diamonds" and other supposedly TEOTWAWKI-proof stores of wealth. Curiously, the snake oil dealers all happily accept FRN's, and even credit cards. I have yet to hear of one of these guys requesting payments in euros or yen.

So many of the dedicated survival types (as opposed to real homesteaders, who would live their rural lives even if America was still king of the world because they love it) are so stupid and so unwilling to hear opposing ideas that I wonder how they're ever supposed to overthrow the govt, and what would they do if they did. They spend plenty of time tossing each other off forums, I got booted from one that calls itself tolerant.

By the way, the REAL Lion of Judah was Rabbi Yitzhak Luria, who was also called "Sacred Lion". Luria's ideas are a little strange, but his thoughts underpin Karl Marx. He lived in the 16th century.

[ladycat]

Variations of this rumor have been circulating the net for years. They just keep moving the date up.

[texican]

What TnAndy said. Gold doesn't experience inflation. It stays the same... it's the paper dollars that are subject to inflation. An ounce still buys just about the same as it always did.

I think tptb would find life very difficult, if they devalued our currency... like a wholesale cleansing of congress.

My cousin's husband's brother said that there will be a holiday in January and the banks will be closed. It's called Martin Luther King's Day and it happens every year. He should know. He prints calendars all year long. :baby04:

Funny, that number is listed as belonging to the Dept of Homeland Security, hope you didn't give them too much information about yourself.






Just kidding, but it does make you think, doesn't it?

[Ernie]

According to reverse lookup:

"This number is a landline based in Missoula, MT and is unpublished." The map shows that it's just south of the Flathead Indian Reservation.

Don't worry too much about bank holidays before they happen. A single bank holiday isn't going to bring the grid crashing down and you should have cash and food on hand already. We can talk more seriously about the collapse of the banking system after we've seen a half-dozen unscheduled bank holidays in a row.

[TurnerHill]

If you have substantial funds to protect, I suggest only seeking the help of those who can spell the word "substantial."

[tgmr05]

I wonder if this kind of scam will still work after SHTF?

Sort of like this:

I do not normally pass around this type of email information, but my brothers cousin works for the government in a purchasing department for DOD, and they had a meeting with the president, after which they all started buying stocks in a company that the government is going to buy all their toilet paper from. If you want to invest in the company, call me, here is my number ..........
