Time is running short. Get Your money and savings out of your bank! NOW! All legal bank and deposit protections are officially GONE.

Former money manager Ann Barnhardt, who, after the MF Global theft, honorably shut down her brokerage firm; so that, her customers would not be ripped off, is giving a new warning about the stability of US banks and the safety of individual deposit accounts.   Legal rulings are siding against the people and for the banks; thus, get your money out and get it out now.   This is because the market is destroyed and you no longer have any protection for any money invested in any investment, or banking, system anymore, according to Barnhardt.

For example: In a shocking precedent set by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision last Friday the court ruled that Sentinel’s use of $500 million segregated client funds to secure a loan from the Bank of NY Melon for it’s prop trading desk is not fraudulent but is rather perfectly legal.

‘What we’re seeing is the complete disintegration of the financial system before our very eyes!  It’s Soviet!‘”, says Barnhardt, ‘You have got to get your money out of the financial system!  Not just the futures markets, but the entire thing!  Stocks, 401k, IRA.  GET YOUR MONEY OUT OR ELSE IT IS ALL GOING TO BE STOLEN FROM YOU!  IT’S ALL A PONZI!!!

“I don’t know what else people need.  MF Global stole $1.6 billion, PFG Best is $225 million gone, who’s going to be next?  It’s clear there’s no regulatory oversight.  If you’re still in these markets you’re either stupid or on drugs!  That’s the only conclusion that I can come to.”

CLICK HERE for the Sentinel Federal Appeals Court Ruling of August 9, 2012. The entire case reads like an after-the-fact rationalization of a predetermined conclusion.

Please pay particular attention to the section on equitable subordination, on pages 6 through 8. Unbelievably, the court acknowledged in that section that even though some of the bankers lied under oath during the trial, that fact did not prove “sufficiently egregious” actions on the part of the bank.

I will quote the opinion: “Instead of finding that their testimony [i.e. their lies] justified a finding of egregious bank behavior, the district court essentially found that the bank officials were such artless liars that they couldn’t have been concealing deliberate wrongdoing.” See page 7, column 2.

So in other words, a U.S. Court of Appeals has found that if a banker lies under oath during a trial, that fact proves that the bank was innocent of any misconduct with respect to the subject matter of those lies.

Did we get transported to bizarro world without knowing it?

So you think the big banks do good things for society, like loan money to Main Street, right?

Ha!

Actually…big banks no longer do very much traditional banking. Most of their business is from financial speculation. For example, less than 10% of Bank of America’s assets come from traditional banking deposits. Instead, they are mainly engaged in financial speculation and derivatives. (and see this)

Since they were bailed out by taxpayers, the big banks have slashed lending … while smaller banks have increased lending. See this, this and this.

According to Thomas Jefferson, “Banking Institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies”

To prove Jefferson’s point that there is NOTHING you can trust about big banking, the “Too Big To Fail” gang is guilty of:

  • Funding the Nazis
  • Laundering money for terrorists
  • Financing illegal arms deals, and are funding the manufacture of cluster bombs (and see this and this)  and other arms which are banned in most of the world
  • They launched a coup against the President of the United States
  • Handled money for rogue military operations
  • Laundered money for drug cartels. See this, this, this and this (indeed, drug dealers kept the banking system afloat during the depths of the 2008 financial crisis)
  • Engaged in mafia-style big-rigging fraud against local governments. See this, this and this
  • Shaved money off of virtually every pension transaction they handled over the course of decades, stealing collectively billions of dollars from pensions worldwide. Details here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here
  • Artificially suppressed gold prices
  • Charged “storage fees” to store gold bullion … without even buying or storing any gold . And raided allocated gold accounts
  • Committed massive and pervasive fraud both when they initiated mortgage loans and when they foreclosed on them (and see this)
  • They pledged the same mortgage multiple times to different buyers. See this, this, this, this and this. This would be like selling your car, and collecting money from 10 different buyers for the same car
  • Cheated homeowners by gaming laws meant to protect people from unfair foreclosure
  • Committed massive fraud in an $800 trillion dollar market which effects everything from mortgages, student loans, small business loans and city financing
  • Manipulated the hundred trillion dollar derivatives market
  • Engaged in insider trading of the most important financial information
  • Pushed investments which they knew were terrible, and then betting against the same investments to make money for themselves. See this, this, this, this and this
  • Engaging in unlawful “frontrunning” to manipulate markets. See this, this, this, this, this and this
  • Engaging in unlawful “Wash Trades” to manipulate asset prices. See this, this and this
  • Otherwise manipulated markets. And see this
  • Participating in various Ponzi schemes. See this, this and this
  • Charged veterans unlawful mortgage fees
  • Helped the richest to illegally hide assets
  • Cooked their books (and see this)
  • Bribed and bullied ratings agencies to inflate ratings on their risky investments

The executives of the big banks invariably pretend that the hanky-panky was only committed by a couple of low-level rogue employees. But studies show that most of the fraud is committed by management.

Indeed, one of the world’s top fraud experts – professor of law and economics, and former senior S&L regulator Bill Black – says that most financial fraud is “control fraud”, where the people who own the banks are the ones who implement systemic fraud. See this, this and this.

  • A huge portion of the banks’ profits comes from taxpayer bailouts. For example, 77% of JP Morgan’s net income comes from taxpayer subsidies
  • The big banks are literally killing the economy … and waging war on the people of the world
  • And our democracy and republican form of government as well
