What if this is really it, Monday?
60 2011-03-13 by noseynobody
So, Anon has announced that they're going to release some BoA documents on Monday that prove fraud. If they are as big as one would be led to believe, they could be enough to topple the bank. Seeing as nothing really changed regulatory wise in the industry, it's likely that this would cause some further major financial ripples.
Simultaneously, insurance claims are now rolling in for the disaster-stricken Japan. Figures are rolling in now in the range of $35 billion. It's unreasonable to suggest that this expense, along with the other effects of the damage, will be felt worldwide. The opening of the markets come Monday will be interesting to say the least.
All the while, protests both within the US and through most of the middle east show no signs of resolve. Some have already initiated a run on a specific bank in Madison, if this sort of activity were to catch on it could be pretty disastrous for the American financial sector, causing further worldwide ripples.
Could Monday give new meaning to the phrase "Black Monday"?

It is to be hoped. The system is rotten at the core, and needs to be rebuilt for the benefit of the people who make this country run. Teachers, Public sector workers (like the guys who fix the roads, and the staff that supports them). Like the bus driver, the factory worker, the plumber, the Firefighters, Cops, electrical workers, day care providers, and on and on.
Congress has a great free health plan. But we can't have that. Congress makes ridiculous money, travel on the taxpayer's dime to fabulous vacations that they call "fact-finding missions". But we can't do that. The rich used to pay 90% taxes. Now they pay 37%.
Can you tell me why someone who made 9,000,000,000 (C. Koch) last year on insider trading should pay only 37% in taxes? That money is being used to subvert democracy in this country.
Break the Fed into a million pieces, and scatter it to the winds. And the Devil take the hindmost.

I agree! also, and mainly, as a daycare worker, male nonetheless, I appreciate the inclusion of my profession in your list of people that make the country run, people talk about teachers as though they don't exist before kindergarden. Try teaching someone who can't talk or understand logic, that is a true challenge.

I feel your pain. I watched the company VP and another woman funfer around for two days. With a postage meter. After the office manager had taken a shot at it. I kept my head down and my mouth shut.

I worked in a government department for a couple of years...
Your tax dollars at 'work', or put another way, playing solitaire, drinking coffee, talking bollocks, not doing anything of value, being generally incompetent, but spending my tax money.

What did they do with the postage meter? Sounds kinky.

Oh yeah, let's all hope the bubble bursts and all of our hard earned money is exploited as the worthless paper that it really is. We'll see how tough you talk then when you're trying to survive among the riots and chaos, Mr. Tough Guy.

Lucky for BOA, the mainstream media will bury the story with news about Japan. I hope Anon sits on this until the disaster news has quieted down and there's a better chance of this getting mainstream attention.

Luckily for BOA, Anon doesn't have shit. The phrase "The revolution will not be televised." comes to mind....

The upside is that major financial movers don't sit around watching the same fucking three stupid channels. Shit gets on zerohedge and other sites and people find out about it. People also buy very expensive reports with this sort of information in it.
5 reeksofhavoc 2011-03-13
I know it sounds so simple but why doesn't everyone scour articles tomorrow on BOA, Wikileaks and Anon and post them on Reddit, Twitter and Facebook?
Just searching for certian terms brings them to the top of the search engines.

I'm sure the "Cunts In Power" will just arrange something else...

I want Bank of America destroyed. They went around the country, buying up credit cards for minorities and poor people so they could make them miss or be late on their payments twice in a year, which allowed them to raise their interest to over 30%. They did this by changing the due date every month by as much as 3 weeks. They are evil. They should die. The only thing that would make me change my mind is if they put the management of BofA in jail.

BoA, JP Morgan, Goldman Saches. All destroyed.
5 txstoploss 2011-03-13
What is it about these "reformers" like Wikileaks and Anon, that warps them into having to telegraph all their punches at steadily increasing levels of hype?
The first we hear of "the BoA release" should be when it's released.

Hope you guys close your bank accounts or at least move your money to a credit union/small bank.
