and from what i've read the Russian Mobsters were allowed to withdraw large sums of their deposits>>Now You Know Why Cyprus Has No 2nd Amendment
I disagree. Now you know WHY the United States has a 2nd Amendment!
Can’t happen here?? I’m sure that Cypriots said the same thing last year.
Some pigs are more equal than others, down on “Animal Farm.” You can be certain the same rules would apply in the USA under similar circumstances.
Heck....thousands of federal employees get away without filing income taxes every year. If a tax drone tries that, they are thrown in the slammer.

One more reason the very idea of a bailout should have been laughed at and discarded.
Actually the EU showed how to do it by following the Obama administration. By setting the limit at 100,000 euros, 98% of the protestors will get to keep their money while the 2% are too small a group to put up much of a fight. If Obama needed to the FDIC would disappear in a day while he raided the banks. Keep a little gold on hand.
Cypriots should be engaging in the wholesale slaughter of their political class.
what happens when there is a war effort to retake the occupied north?
What do they have to lose?
International outrage? ecconomic ruin? no longer an issue.
are the british going to but in? they have two permanent military bases on the island nation. but the british WANT the euro and the EU to fall appart. They have, pre wwII, manipulated the us election to ensure US support. it is doubtful.
Cyprus could be an archduke moment. but it would be west vs east.
And you fools thought it would be women and children first !
Freedom From War, Publication 7277, State Dept. 1961.
Reducing nuke stockpile. Internal security forces - ie "we need a civilian military AS STRONG as ou military". Cutting regular military down - a sizeable part of which is operating under UN command or fulfilling UN objectives. Disarming citizens. The latest UN small arms treaty crap. Destroying the last superpower by killing the economy and creating economic crises by printing money like water. Getting ready to Cyprus our 401k's into "government bonds" and private bank savings into "stock/equity in the bank" your money's in - worse than FDIC-insured. Not far fetched as he hates America, walked around for months with the Post-America book he was reading, has all national intelligence assets looking at anyone who is "anti-government" (anti-Obama) as a threat. (And in case you didn't know, Freedom From War, the UN treaties do not allow civillians to remain armed - which means confiscation, by force if necessary.)
Do not think they will not take your supplies as well, as these emergency orders will also allow them to take any of your property they need. Once they disarm you it won't be hard.
This is what it's all about. In its "Second Annual Report to Congress" (February 1963), the ACDA presented a simple graphic depiction (see top of next page) demonstrating its proposed three-stage disarmament process:
U.S. THREE-STAGE DISARMAMENT PLAN
Why would the European Community sanction such a theft? Wouldn’t it destroy confidence in European banks in general?
The answer is this: the Cypriot bank assets which were seized are almost all those of Russians shielding their assets. And most of those Russians are suspected of organized crime... hence, why they are shielding their assets.
Please don’t read this as justifying the bank seizures; there are plenty of innocent Cypriots getting screwed. But if you wonder why the ordinary people of Europe aren’t having conniptions, that’s why.
