Monday's gonna be interesting to see how the State Run media tries to cover this up or ignore it. Especially if there's a Europe wide bank holiday.

This is the beginning of the end where we get to watch it all burn.
They've stolen money from people's bank accounts!! Look for a bank run across Europe, followed by some derivative trades based on the health of European banks to go sour and then a new "DOOM" logo for Monty's posts.

It's likely to blow over with few repercussions, BUT there is a small chance that some of the similar smaller countries in the EU might have a bank-run as well. If more than two of the smaller ones blow up, the cascade could be dramatic.

They're trying to preserve it for:
a) Germans need a vacay destination on the same continent that's not Russia.
b) They don't want to have to rebuild Europe after they take it over
c) They're trying to keep the Russians (and the Poles) out.
d) They're biding their time until they're "invited" in.

Yep. I'm sure people will complain that their money is being taken from them, but after the initial shock, they'll become resigned to it, because they don't believe they have a choice.

I am sick and tired of hearing brain-damaged people describe our President as being a Socialist or Marxist or Trotskyite or whatever they call him these days when they don’t have any clue what any of those words mean, they only call him that cause they can’t call him “n i g g e r” ! They won’t give him any credit for his accomplishment, but rather just ignore them and call him names.
Obama has overhauled the food safety system – “Obama nationalized all farms.” Advanced women’s rights in the work place – “Obama implemented a single standard wage for all workers.” Ended Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell (DADT) in our military – “Obama implemented compulsive military or civilian service.” Stopped defending DOMA in court. – “Outlawed all religious marriage” Passed the Hate Crimes bill. – “Passed an antisedition act prohibiting all speech which is not glorifying to the state.” Appointed two pro-choice women to the Supreme Court – “Replaced all nine justices with suitable replacements.” Expanded access to medical care and provided subsidies for people who can’t afford it. – Nationalized all health insurance companies Expanded the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) – “Nationalized all health providers Fixed the preexisting conditions travesty [and rescissions] in health insurance. – Executed all insurance company executives for crimes against humanity” Invested in clean energy. – “Directed National Energy Corps to disassemble coal power plants and replace them with wind and solar.” Overhauled the credit card industry, making it much more consumer-friendly. – “Nationalized all banks.” He got help for people whose health was injured during the clean-up after the 9/11 attacks. – “Continued Bush-era cover-up of hazardous breathing conditions following 9/11 attacks” He’s got Osama Bin Laden – “Used Osama bin Laden as a bogeyman to convince people to do everything else he wanted.”
I just feel like it needs to be pointed out over and over again: Obama’s a capitalist. His economic advisers are all capitalists. His solutions for our economic problems rarely make it as far left as “liberal,” much less actually socialist.
You want to know whoÂ’s a socialist? Mitt Romney. Mitt RomneyÂ’s Bain Capital specialized in leveraged buyouts of companies with rich pension systems, which Bain then raided and left taxpayers holding the bag for. His $250 million cost taxpayers billions. But Mitt Romney, like other Republicans, is only a socialist when it comes to Mitt Romney. The rest of us get Mitt Romney capitalism, which consists of Mitt Romney stealing our retirement while telling us not to be so lazy.
You think Jeb Bush could run next time? No he canÂ’t, because George is still (the worst president ever according to NewsweekÂ’s recent poll). A majority of voters still blame Bush more than Obama when theyÂ’re asked whoÂ’s responsible for the rotten economy.
I was right again, Anyone who hates Obama Is in fact a racist! What a bunch of sick, ridiculous, hateful posts you Conservatives write on your dumbass blogs. And oh my God, the names that you call the Liberal, or Progressives bloggers who are supporters of the president.
Calling the President supporters a POS and other names seems usual for you right-wing racists and bigots like you! You are a sick, demented racist, bigoted Un-American scum! Judging by your sick, and demented blogs. This is why mentally damaged people have absolutely NO business on a computer..you are too stupid. You canÂ’t blame one person for the downfall of the economy. But if you were going to then blame Bush. No. The GOP screwed America and has stood in the way of the President trying to fix it. The Republicans are hoping for failure of the President so that you can win an election thereby screwing millions of job seeker just to defeat Obama. The GOP are a bunch of sick, anti Americans.
Jesus Christ, you are mentally stupid, pathetic, and a liar. Yes the left criticized Bush, but that fact remains most dwelled on his policies only, asshole.
Was President Bush vilified by racists, bigoted, extremists on the left like Obama? NO!
Was President Bush questioned about his birth certificate, his religion, his ideology, his loyalty to America? NO!
Has President BushÂ’s victory caused hate groups to rise to great levels? NO!
Was President Bush called every single vile name in the bookÂ…maybe some, but nothing like President Obama has!
Has President Bush got 400% of racist e-mails and death threats, more than any other president in history? NO!
Were there an insurmountable list of racist tea party signs and rants against President Bush like there were with President Obama? NO!
Was Laura Bush racially insulted, vilified, compared to a monkey like Michelle Obama? NO! in fact. most left-wing people didnÂ’t like Bush but STILL loved and respected the hell out of Laura Bush, you racists insult, smear, and attack Michelle Obama for every little thing.

THIS.
I've been waiting for the derivative market to go south for awhile.
Our banks. Here in the US. Including your little local town bank. ARe up to their eyeballs in "assets" that are really derivatives based on sovereign debt overseas. It's what cause MF Global to collapse and steal their clients money (see a trend there?)
Well, everyone's in that game because the FED (aka Helicopter Ben) pushes it as a way for them to meet their obligations for assets. They will even harass a competent and fiscally responsible banker who doesn't like the looks of those "investments" by audits and other investigations.
We sitting on the tippy top of a house of cards and someone just pulled a jack out of the stack below us. The collapse may take awhile or it may happen tomorrow or it may take one more card.

All of that and more. Invest in your property OR invest in other people's property.
Make loans to family (well maybe not them) and friends that you trust.
Buy long lasting appliances, renew electric systems. invest in a generator. Depends on your ability and your capabilities and how much you have to invest. Buy stuff that will either be useful in a survival mode or will be valuable as barter or will be used in daily living.

As was pointed out elsewhere, on might assume that's not a worry the bankers and socialists need to have because they still have some kind of military and/or police to protect them.
Except you just stole upwards of 10% of everyone's life savings.
Including the police and/or military.

You're more correct than you know. I have some serious issues with Chemjeff's posit on "living conservative values" this week but sadly I lack the time today and probably tomorrow to pursue them.
If you are engaging in traditional savings and investment methodology as currently rendered you're doing it wrong IMHO.
My "retirement" planning involves side businesses and floating high risk start up capital to budding small businessmen who work on the metaphorical Spanish main.
Anything you put into a numbered account that takes a millisecond to empty is as high risk a capital pool right now as loaning your neighbor a grand for a start up.
They will mainstream stilling about 5 trillion bucks these next four years.

But who could we get to lead the charge? Rand Paul is in the Senate.
Actually, I think a lot of politicians with ambitions will use RP's stand as a template. No filibuster in the house, but they can still make a stink, and demand something with teeth from Boehner.
(Yeah, I know, but he still wants to hang onto his speakership.)
But seriously, Obama would immediately mock and ridicule the bill, snorting with derision at the thought that such a thing was even worthy of being contemplated. Then he'd get Dianne Feinstein to get her panties in a wad, so as to avoid answering the question.

The banks are closed on Monday. That's another reason that this stinks to high heaven, announced after the close of markets on the Friday night before a bank holiday weekend. Oh and btw the levy amount got magically frozen in the accounts. But this was all a tragic one off necessity that will never ever be replicated. Uh. Huh.

Translation from the Bureaucratese -- The old, whom have had time to save and will lose the most also tend to be less volatile and dangerous ---
The young, whom have not yet had much time to save, and therefore don't have much to take, will probably kill all our asses so we better find a way to calm them down.
Never mind that the old actually need it because they no longer have much working life left to replace their money, after all, it is the safety of my bureaucrat ass we are talking about.

Reminds me of the steelworker I knew in the '70's who used to brag about his benefits and how little he had to work. Steel went belly up in the '80's and labor still hasn't recovered from the hit. What isn't imported is made using automation. The Steel Workers Union walks real small these days and don't say much.

The best you can get is a direct deposit in a debit card with low or no fees but I tried it and it sucks big time.
I figure what will happen will happen and if I can draw my money out fine but let's face it when we get to that point, the cash won't be worth much anyway.
I'm trying to stash away as much extra (what little there is) in stuff I'll need to get by if all payments stop or some bank incident happens.
I started stashing ammo before doing so was so widespread. I buy extra TP (toilet paper is a better invention than fire in my estimation), food and renovation/improvements to the ol' homestead.
One shining star this year; they did a reeval on property taxes and my taxes actually went down!!!!!11!!!! I know! I kept thinking it was a mistake but I got my first bill and it was 1/4 the previous amount.
Wooot!. Now I'm waiting for them to find some other way to f**k me.

264 Can't opt out of Direct Deposit for SS payments and many other Federal payments.
You mean you can't get a SocSec payment unless you have a bank account?
Might be a good time to switch to a Credit Union, instead of using a bank.
I think the Feds would have a tough time trying to confiscate money out of a Credit Union account.
Credit Unions are run like a private club...you have to join and pay a membership fee (usually small) to open an account there.

They changed it to debit cards and direct deposit maybe 4-5 years ago to cut down on theft and fraud.
The same was attempted with EBT cards and is why crooked states like CA/MA wrote in provisions to allow their cards to withdraw cash directly at ATMs. Frauds and professional welfare recipients avoid having bank accounts like the plague because it would leave a paper trail and expose undeclared assets or double dipping of benefits.

Someone hit a telephone pole a mile away from the house last week. Power out around the area. Thought I'd check on the ancient neighbors, so I pulled out the old hard wired phone. Check.
Plugged hit in and got dial tone. Check.
Called the old neighbors and the old MIL a mile away. Not check
They all have broad band phone through Time Warner. No power to the little modem thingy that works the phones. And of course they don't have any of their old hardwired phones.
Called their cell phones. Besides them all being deaf as posts, the cell towers were either down from the power outage, or jammed due to the ramped up cellular traffic.
I live in a highly developed, reasonably well run city. One guy has a heart attack and knocks down a creosote telephone/power pole, and everyone is completely out of touch.

re: Scots/ Irish:
The Scots were originally from Ireland, way back when, they crossed over to Britain, hence the similarities of Irish and Scots Gaelic.
Once they converted to Protestantism, the Brits used them to colonize the north of Ireland, most of Ulster, driving out most of the resident Catholic population.
Brits knew how to colonize, and that's the reason for the six counties of Northern Ireland not joining the Free State of Eire.

There is only one way to fix this: arrest some big name bureaucrats and bankers in Brussels, have public trials in the manner of Nuremburg that find them guilty of exceeding their authority over the sovereign states of Europe (essentially treasonous crimes against the European Order), and publicly execute them.
This example would restore trust in the banking system. Anything less will establish European banking as a sucker's game, forever. This will never happen, so a sucker's game it will be, all because of the arrogance and the hubris of the European elite.

They were out of everything except .20 gauge and 30-06, everything else was gone like Paris Hilton's virginity.
I'd never buy from that shithole. Every time I go in there and approach the gun counter they treat me like I'm infringing on their precious time and when I ask to see a rifle they roll their eyes.

Nope, Irish and Scots are Celtic, Vikings and most Germans are Teutons, if you go back far enough.
Different tribes, probably from the same source, that later intermingled. Like most of Caucasian Europe.
The Vikings covered a lot of ground, probably due to global cooling and infertile soil.
Russia is named after the "Rus" a band of Scandis that took over. The vikings made it as far as Sicily and the middle east, due to their boating technology and lack of fear.

--I thought the theory was that it was the Medieval Warming Period that produced a temporary population boom that spurred the Viking expansion.

Who knows for sure ? It could have been that the oldest son inherited all of the land, etc.
Not much reason for younger brothers to stick around.
Anywho, a lot of Norsemen (Normans, later) got in their shallow draft Dragon boats and kicked some serious ass throughout the "then known world".
I tend to think that their attitude was one of " I'm not gonna starve, before I get a chance to go to the longhouses of Valhalla"

King Ranch Chicken Casserole
1 chicken (2 1/2 to 3 lbs.)
12 corn tortillas, torn
1 can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 can cream of chicken soup, undiluted
1 large onion, chopped
1 can (10 oz) tomatoes with green chilies, undrained (like Rotel)
1 to 2 cups grated Cheddar cheese
Stew chicken in water in large pot til tender. Reserve 1 cup broth. Bone chicken, cut in bite size pieces.
Grease 9x13 baking dish. Place torn tortillas in bottom of dish. Layer chicken on top. Combine soups, onion, tomatoes and reserved 1 cup broth in saucepan; cook over med. heat until hot. Pour soup mixture over chicken. Top with grated cheese. Bake 350 for 50-60 mins, or until bubbly hot. Serve abt. 8-10
If I don't have tortillas on hand when ready to do the King Ranch recipe, I just stir in penne (or a similar) pasta and add rinsed black beans and maybe a dollop of sour cream. It's yummy that way, too.
Also, I just cook chicken tenderloin strips or breasts cut into strips rather than going thru all the trouble to boil and debone a chicken.

No arguement here about the Vikings doing some serious sowing of their genes. They were big into rape, pillage and plunder
There aren't many places that they weren't that produced light eyes and hair color, adaptations, probably to colder weather and lack of sunlight.

So I'm at my mom's today, and I woke up from a Sunday nap to hear shrill women complaining about the Catholic church in TV; turns out it was 60 Minutes. It was that liberal group of nuns that shilled for Obama and helped sell out our health care, complaining about how women are treated in the church. The interiviewer's choice of vocab, always slanted against the church, apalling. The new pope hasn't even warmed his seat in Rome yet, and they run a piece like this? Hive of scum and villainy, is the MSM; I found it offensive and I'm no Catholic.

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 cup Minute rice
1 can cream of celery soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
Olive oil, salt, pepper.
Mix the soups and the rice together and put in a greased, 8x8 or 9x9 casserole dish. Put the chicken on top, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes to an hour.
You can also use bone in chicken, either breasts, or a whole cut up chicken. Just lower the temp. to 300 and bake about an hour and a half to two hours.

No need to overthink it, pretty much any of these combos work:
Meat of choice: chicken, pork, ground beef. A carb: rice, bread crumbs, pasta (I make a mean spaghetti casserole.) A veg: broccoli is really good, as are peas. A sauce: cream of chicken or mushroom, spaghetti. You can add salt/pepper or other spices, like Italian seasoning or cumin, etc, but not necessary. Dump in with your choices from each category, carb on bottom, sauce on top, and maybe top with cheese and you're good. I've found that if you precook the meat, or at least lightly pan sear it, any of those combos at around 350-360 degrees for twenty minutes, works.
And yes, slow cookers are amaze. Excellent soups can be made with a little chicken broth, vegetables, beans, noodles. Super easy and cheap.

Preparation for periodic outages is in order. If the currency implodes, debt will become less consequential, unless you have nothing to pay it back with. Maybe spend some of the money you'd put towards retirement in the near term towards being better prepared for "inconveniences".

The winters and summers here are not particularly harsh ever like on the east coast, but I do worry if we didn't have access to heating in the winter with a power outage. I am on friendly terms with my neighbors, a mechanic, electrician, construction engineer, and both myself and my wife are in the medical field.
I just worry about debt and mortage payments when SHTF as I am paying back student loans now in addition to the other things.

If inflation really kicks in, then your debt becomes ever cheaper, relatively speaking, and more attractive to have frankly, as long as you continue to have a source of income. If you are in a "demand area" of health care, you should be in a very good position.

I'm sorry if I sound like an economic illiterate ( I went to school in the medical field not economics!), will people get more money when hyperinflation kicks in (those who still have jobs)? It is one thing when you have inflation, it is completely another when there is not a corresponding pay increase. I know it will be devalued money, but for debt repayment, it would be awesome (in that one respect).

For about 150-200 bucks you've got a months worth of supplies for serious EQ disruption. Work through them and replenish them on a regular basis, or do donate to a foodbank or whatever, to avoid expiration issues. You'll be living like a king until power is back and food trucks return.
Added challenge. Live off it for a month so you know what it's like and your own tastes. Make sure to keep the water flowing to compensate for the high sodium.
And discover how easy it is to save a shitton of money on food with a bit of worldview changing.

Yep, we are pretty well stocked in the veggie/fruit/pasta/bean dept. We just need to get more meats. We have a lot of freezer food, but when the power goes out, goodbye frozen food!

I bought a new mattress yesterday, so for the rest of month am living 100% off my food storage. Rice and beans, beans and rice. . . But on the plus side, I will be sleeping on a cloud by the end of the month, am excited. A worthy tradeoff.

I was asking these very same questions not so long ago, and it is wise that you are, too. This kind of thinking doesn't come natural to most of us, and is uncomfortable at least, and quite frightening at most. Develop a plan that is workable, work towards it. Hopeless mentioned some good ideas earlier.
As my insurance agent likes to tell me, "TR, you can't insure for everything."
Cover what you can, and let God sort out the rest.

Sounds like a decent neighborhood.
That's what really matters more than anything. Getting prepped and getting out of debt aren't mutually exclusive.
Especially if you take the tine to assign a cash value to your prep supplies, and treat them as a type of savings.

My debt from student loans sucks ass, over 40,000$. No credit card debt though. I won't be paying that crap off easily, that's why I'm wondering if I should just do minimum payments and focus on the SHTF stuff for a while. I have been putting it off for too long (getting guns/ammo) and now I am getting burned by waiting.

The hipster graphic designers stole them. Seriously, ampersands are the new mustaches right now. I always loved them, so I don't get why they are suddenly everywhere, but whatevs.
thanks Niedermeyer, I like him even more now! For supposedly the most open-minded generation ever (aka mine), we are certainly incredibly uptight. Good on him for not being a typical comedian d-bag.

As soon as the freezer starts to warm up, transfer your staple goods and whatever ice is left into smaller coolers, start eating the processed stuff, and get busy canning the contents of the freezer. You have a few days. You can store the jars back in the otherwise-useless freezer.
This isn't bunker-level stuff. Half a hall closet, or one corner of the garage, will store the materials you'll need.
Them Amish (or more often, their Mennonite cousins using "Amish" on the label) do some fine canning of chicken and beef. Dense, not like the watery little cans in a grocery store. Say goodbye to steak for a while, though. Steak ain't Amish.

If this doesn't inspire a run on the banks, we finally have conclusive proof Europe is retarded.
Once the entitlements hit a wall here, they'll probably start trying something similar with a wealth tax on the 1%, with the other 99% probably cheering it on as it will pay for another 72 hours of entitlements. That's when the wealthy move every penny offshore or just hoard precious metals.
