Say Goodbye to the Banks!

Hello England,

 

How are you fine folks?  Enjoying all this news about your banks and the world's banks being the biggest liars, cheaters and manipulators this world has ever seen?

 

Got your attention?  Good.  We in North America are moving our money to Credit Unions.  They are owner owned and operated.  Why?  Because it's time to drain this cesspool called the banking industry and its self-serving illegal, corrupt and despicable manipulations.

 

We're draining the pool over here, the same cesspool we all have been in servitude to now that Libor Scandal is a world recognized phrase.

 

Find a Credit Union of good reputation in your area and move everything you have to that location.  Do it before the banks collapse.  Do it becasue people like George Soros and other multi-million dollar insiders are all buying gold, in anticipation of this very collapse.

 

Even if it's just a few pounds friends, it will all help.  Let's stick a fork in this despicable stinking mess called the Banking Industry - It is done!
