]]> Comment on Money Reform Think Tank: Join in the Debate! by ErnieM http://webofdebt.wordpress.com/feedback/comment-page-47/#comment-44362 Sat, 11 May 2013 00:05:52 +0000 http://webofdebt.wordpress.com/feedback/#comment-44362 Sounds okay, but “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result” often doesn’t apply. I’ve tried it– sometimes you just keep doing the same thing and you do get different results. “If you throw enough spaghetti against the wall some of it is bound to stick,” and “never give up!” are also good aphorisms.

]]> Comment on It Can Happen Here: The Confiscation Scheme Planned for US and UK Depositors by Cyprus and Global Banking Instability | Bill Totten's Weblog http://webofdebt.wordpress.com/2013/03/28/it-can-happen-here-the-confiscation-scheme-planned-for-us-and-uk-depositors/comment-page-4/#comment-44361 Sat, 11 May 2013 00:02:35 +0000 http://webofdebt.wordpress.com/?p=5560#comment-44361 […] Which leads to the next obvious question: What about contagion crossing the Atlantic to the US? As Ellen Brown and others have recently pointed out, it appears that US and UK officials have been considering the same direct focus on potentially taxing/expropriating depositors in the US and UK in the event of a future further banking crisis emerging (see Ellen Brown, “It Could Happen Here: The Confiscation Scheme Planned for US and UK Depositors”,  March 27 2013). http://webofdebt.wordpress.com/2013/03/28/it-can-happen-here-the-confiscation-scheme-planned-for-us-… […]

That is astounding, unsecured creditors would surely have put off 50% of those people using that service.

I’m sure you know that here in the UK the banks are now turning people away!

Several decades ago, Margaret Thatcher claimed: “There is no alternative”. She was referring to capitalism. Today, this negative attitude still persists.

I would like to offer an alternative to capitalism for the American people to consider. Please click on the following link. It will take you to my essay titled: “Home of the Brave?” which was published by the Athenaeum Library of Philosophy:

This means I am loaning the bank money and if they can’t or don’t pay what they owe the bank can default on my loan to them and steal my checking account balances. This angers me bcuz the bank did not get my approval of my loaning money to them. What % interest is the bank paying me? Don’t know but it has got to be a close to zero as imaginable. Second comment. please listen to this interview with Karen Hudes, World Bank legal council turned whistle-blower. Can’t think of an interview that is more important than hers. Karen’s mother fears for Karen’s life and so do I. would not surprise me one bit if Karen gets suicided. http://bullmarketthinking.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/552013hudes.mp3
