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/

Isn’t it more the communist that like to cause anarchy like this?
Are you sure anyone will have anything to withdraw by then better move it up a month
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.
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.
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.
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.
I think the nationalization/socialists want-to-be's are playing the Paul people. 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.
Curious.
- 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
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 like MANY of RP’s stances, but his kook base keeps me from totally getting behind him.
This sounds like a really stupid idea and is possibly illegal.
Stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid.
Like playing in traffic to show how dangerous cars are.
