Run on the Banks Planned for 4/17/2009
I have my doubts on whether the guys over at campaignforliberty.com will be successful, but they're attempting to organize a run on the banks on April 17th with the goal being a collapse of the Federal Reserve system - or at the very least to bring attention to Ron Paul's HR 833.
They have a web site set up with some information here: http://libertyormayhem.com/
TOPICS: Business/Economy
KEYWORDS: banks; economy; on; run
Rumor is...a bank run is planned for 4/17/09. while i agree with the intent, it would turn into nationwide anarchy. It would show DC a thing or two in that WE are still in control, but the fallout could be devastating.

Campaign for Liberty is about 10 16-20 year olds, of whom I doubt have enough capital to do much outside buy a double shot latte at Starbucks.
In addition, their idea is idoitic, IF they had the power, it would not bring down the Federal Reserve, it would hurt private banks and create a situation where the government would step in to ‘save’ them, thus increasing socialization.
Why is it that socialist and communist groups promote anarchists? It is because in order to really get a call for socialism, there has to be a private market collapse, something for the government to come in and ‘save’.

not sure. i post this as i do not have the answer. it’s a noble idea, but not thought out well.
To: A CA Guy
Isnt it more the communist that like to cause anarchy like this? Bingo.. I would love to know who is floating these ideas.. stuff like this plays into the hands of those who want to socialize the system. If there is no collapse, there is nothing to 'save'.. Kind of like the National Socialists starting the Reichstag fire.

its a noble idea No it's not, it is an attack on the private market (most banks have not been involved with the bailout) and will usher in (IF it actually had a chance of impact) faster nationalization or socialism (or national socialism) of the market.

This is the same genius type of thinking when idiots during the Nam War doused themselves with gasoline and set themselves on fire.

I think organizing some anarchy really wouldn’t be a nobel idea at all. Why do you think it is?

ron paul people...(supposedly). The reighstag fire is being started by the govt IMO.
To: A CA Guy
perhaps to show that the people are still in charge. i just post this for an FYI, i do not say i agree with it.

No matter how much I don't care for Paul, I know he doesn't want to rush in nationalization/socialism. There are groups who are taking advantage of groups like this and their fear of the banking system and controller conspiracies behind them.

Hmmm.... Let's see.
- L.Ron Paul inspires these people.
- They call themselves "libertyormayhem"
- Project Mayhem was a terrorist cult, operated by a schizophrenic, in the film Fight Club
- Thorazine is one treatment for schizophrenia
Curious.

Banks are composed of people, individuals like you and I. 99% of banks have nothing to do with this bailout.

The Ron Paul crowd had one of these on June 5 2008 with no noticeable effect.
But the economic system is collapsing under its own weight anyway.

Looks like those who want nationalization/socialism found a new tool to take advantage of their fear of banking conspiracies..

I haven't read any press releases where Ron Paul encouraged anyone to make a run on the banks. Can someone link me to it?
A scheduled run on the banks would result in more fascism as the fed moved in to shore up the banks.

The problem is CFL is his official PAC, so he needs to reign this in very quickly, those who want nationalization/socialism are playing his PAC to create crisis they need.

Maybe people that could be this clueless should first attempt to kill themselves to show they are in charge THAT WAY rather than working to destroy the whole USA fiscal system.
These 17 year olds IMO need to put the drugs down, stop attempting all the communist enabling anarchy and should instead all go get their GED, go to work and pay taxes.

Well this notion is beyond brilliant.s/ They give a date and time and expect somebody else is not going to beat them to the banks.
To: ozark hilljilly
It may be a little sick.
However, it is a great summation of self destructive acts that some so called conservatives want us to inflict on our selves and families.

I can't believe our mods let crap like this get posted here. This thread will probably be quoted when the Feds try to close this site down.

We reviewed it and determined that with the title append that this wasn’t recommended, only for discussion, it was OK to leave open. Most FReepers can see right through this and the repercussions of this action, and the thread shows it.
Having one thread here will also keep there from being hundreds on the topic as this one will show up in search (hopefully).
This is not Free Republic sanctioned or recommended, it is only to discuss what other groups are doing.
To: seven.sixtwo
its a noble idea, but not thought out well.No it's not, it's a stupid idea. They should do the rest of us a favor, strap on a bomb vest, go out in the woods (snow covered, don't want any brushfires, blow themselve us, and leave capitalism alone. Better yet, steal a boat and paddle to Cuba. You should consider the underlying objective here.

I guess there’s no point to their other famous tactic of the “One Day Gas Boycott” now that prices are down.
To: Tijeras_Slim
The dolts didn't reduce gas prices in their one suggest day of grandstanding, the $4.00 a gallon gas price retarded demand.
If they believe that, they are as smug as Obama.

550 BILLION was drawn out of money market funds in 30 minutes towards the end of last year. It can happen. Don’t be naive
To: seven.sixtwo
I don’t think that’s a good idea; I am against the FED too, however it’s not good to ruin people in order to do it!
