100% true. I work for Truist and the massive layoffs are under way. 401l match is being cut by 30%, higher insurance with less benefits while executives get 127% bonuses. Get your money out of the large major banks.

Forty years ago if I wanted to avoid bouncing a cheque, I had to visit a bank location and move funds from savings to checking. Today I use an app provided by my credit union.

Yes, not only are banks reducing branches but the bank cartel is consolidating as fast as it can. There were over 30,000 banks in 1921. Today there are only 4,236 banks insured by fdic. But on the order of 72,000 branches to serve about 3x population.

Essentially all the savings and loans were destroyed by the banking cartel since the 1980s. But there were approximately zero credit unions in 1921. And they have branches.

Adding to the complexity, many ATM devices today are able to accept deposits, as are some apps. Nobody moves paper cheques today. All cheques are imaged. Moreover a bunch of payment systems work without cheques.

Those of us who used e-gold 1995-2007 were already eager for the end of the banking cartel. And when the corrupt fbi destroyed e-gold in 2007 we worked out how to build a digital monetary system without "trusted third parties."

So if it upsets you that there won't be any corrupt govt agencies like fdic and treasury making sure big banks can go on nationalising losses and privatising profits twenty years from now, I will happily let you have a handkerchief to cry your eyes into. But for the "systemically important" banks that go under, I won't shed a single tear. They deserve to fail. And the corrupt politicians and agencies that are keeping them alive should be in prison, not in power.

What is actually taking place is preparation for the soon coming Mark of the Beast as explained in this June 29 Michael Snyder Substack - "Setting The Stage For The Mark Of The Beast?"

This will be begin by the introduction of CBDCs after the collapse/default of the US Dollar through hyperinflation. If you like to read about heavy economic theories and the coming collapse this is excellent: THE GREAT TAKING- by David Rogers Webb - PDF link below

I've just finished reading that pdf by David Roger's that you recommend Carl. It was insightful to learn that the puppet masters have completed absolute control of the financial system & are now ready to crash the system.

I always wondered how exactly they would take control of all assets & now I know by making themselves the only secured creditors in the derivatives market. They have allowed the derivatives market to grow beyond any previous debt relying on people's ignorance.

So that when they collapse the financial system they are there as secured creditors of the derivatives market to hover up "All assets" tied into the derivative market. And I think that sum is around $350 trillion but nobody knows for sure except the evil, satanic puppet masters who have inflated the derivatives market bubble so big that when they pop it they will take control of just about every asset class on the planet.

And enslave everyone to their evil agendas whether they want to be part of their beast system or not. The only thing we can do is to not bow, say no & trust God, not selling out for the thing's of this world. But looking towards our Lord & savior Jesus Christ who for the joy set before Him endured the scorn & shame of the cross so that we have hope in Him & not the world.

Thank you Carl for sharing this pearl & for standing up & being counted not bowing the knee & following Jesus Christ even unto death. There are so few of us out there & just about all people including professing christians will take the mark of the beast just to hold onto the thing's of this world which is a extremely sad but true fact.

This goes back to creating the PRIVATE Federal Reserve in 1913. Most people have no idea who really controls the financial systems.

And most people don't want to know they just want to live in denial & even if you presented all the facts they would call it conspiracy & call you a tin foil hatter. And yet when the 💩 hits the fan they will be the one's crying the most & begging the puppet masters who have enslaved them to offer a solution, which the puppet masters will gladly do.

And that solution complete loss of "All freedoms" & obsolute control of everything & everyone everywhere forever.

In short a living hell on earth that the masses will beg their jailers to enforce on all freedom loving people who don't comply.

In fact the masses will become the jailers eyes & ears & gladly help enforce this nightmare to help justify their choices & stupidity & all in the name of what they will call freedom 🤣.

We have already had a taste of this with the covid mandates & those who turned on us then are just raring to become good little nazis all over again given any chance or excuse.

This is the sad state of where thing's are truly at & you can't argue with a puppet or partnership with them. Because they freely choose to be enslaved & want to enslave you also if you let them. The only solution is to build community with like minded people as far outside the beast system as possible & to cut all ties with anyone who's a puppet even if there family. Because those who choose to be puppets & freely choose enslavement are like a cancer that we need to completely cut out of our lives before they kill us.

I just read it! Wow! I’ve heard Catherine Austin Fitts mention many times that once you deposit money in a bank, it legally becomes their property. But I had no idea how much has happened that has set the BIS up to confiscate the property of every citizen on the globe!

As you stated, "At this point, nobody can claim that the economy is headed in the right direction.". Well, Biden does.

Our economy is literally a house of cards and as soon as one thing fails, it all comes tumbling down. The treasury bond yields are spiking, which is very bad news. Look it up. Banks are losing money on existing mortgages and being forced to pay high interest on savings. High rates on mortgages are killing the housing market. Hence, the banks are cutting costs wherever they can. Just wait until numerous people start defaulting on their credit cards and mortgages. The stock market is a roller coaster and the derivatives market is a nearly 21 trillion dollar bubble that is doomed to pop. Inflation is killing small businesses and families. Credit card debt is at an all time high. Add in a war in the middle east, that will send oil prices soaring, and disaster is imminent. I only keep enough money in my bank to cover my monthly bills. Everything else is in a silver IRA. This is literally your last warning. Get out of the banking system, and the stock market, now if not sooner. You will live to regret not doing it.

Thank you! I will check it out.

A must read "primer" is Ed Griffin's magnus opus: THE CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND (1994). The CREATURE FROM JEKYLL ISLAND title refers to the formation of the Federal Reserve System, which occurred at a secret meeting at Jekyll Island, Georgia in 1910. It was at this meeting, (as Griffin reveals), that the "Money Trust", composed of the richest and most powerful bankers in the world, along with a U.S. Senator, wrote the economic model to launch the Federal Reserve System (which Griffin calls a banking cartel) to control the financial system so that the bankers/banksters will always come out on top. This book is about the most blatant scam of all history. It's all here: the cause of wars, boom-bust cycles, inflation, depression, prosperity. Your world view will definitely change. You'll never trust a politician again - or a banker again.

It is my opinion, the latest (May 2023) manifesto, THE GREAT TAKING, by David Webb completes what Ed Griffin began in 1994. (PDF link below)

I have been expecting a crash like the '29 crash, a global event, to make that 1 look like a Sunday picnic, since the '70s. I didn't know when, exactly, but I KNOW it's coming. "Brace for impact!"

Brick & mortar banks are being replaced by phone apps. I know this makes old people angry. I know people old enough to remember being angry that phone numbers didn't start with a 3 letter prefix anymore or that you couldn't ask a live operator for the time anymore. Society is always onward and upward. Do you know what Survival of the Fittest means? It doesn't mean the people with the best resting heart rate win. It means people who can adapt to new changes most quickly and with the least problems are the ones who win.

I know a lot of people are hurting financially. At the end of every GOP presidency we always get effed. (Note what Michael Snyder states about the fiscal hell of 2009 after Bush.) Lots of people are hurting, but many of us planned around the predictable post-Republican economy and we're doing pretty ok. Some are even doing better than ok and they're even profiting from people's fiscal probs right now. Used to be one of the best things about being a Republican was that we were smart enough to plan and save and be the ant and not the grasshopper. That isn't so much the case now that everybody wants to be the fun live in the moment grasshopper who all come to websites like this one just to cry about the stuff we coulda avoided if we were smarter.

Not all changes are "progress"; many in recent decades have been "regress". Yes, I'm old enough to remember the letter prefixes , but they were 2 letters and a number: ours was MO7, and then the 4 digits. I remember party lines, even crank telephones. I remember when there were no zip codes, when not every family had a TV, or 2 cars, when there were no interstate highways, and paper maps that allowed you to see and plan routes across whole states or even multiple states all at the same time, and gave accurate mileage. Not all those changes have been beneficial to humanity. Adapting may be "necessary", but not always healthy.

Amen to that Carl that's why we run the race & refuse to bow the knee.

May God's blessings rain down upon you & all who refuse to be part of this upcoming beast system.

The home next door to mine is on the market for $290K. I paid $205/K 5 years ago in September 2018 for a similar house. It's been on the market for less than 3 weeks and they already cut the price $10K. Good luck to them and hopefully one of the people that had viewed it will buy it but I don't think they'll get nearly as much as they want.
