    it would be fun to wake up and find $500,000 sitting in my bank account...
    That happened to a friend of mine in the UK about ten years ago. She found she'd had £300,000 (well over half a million dollars) suddenly deposited into her account overnight. She called the bank, and it was a mistake. They were highly embarrassed.

    She said the most interesting part of her story was her friends' different reactions(!). Everyone had a different suggestion about what she should have done. (My own suggestion was to have called a lawyer to see if the money was legally hers or not, and whether she would have committed a crime if she had not reported it.)

    I have worked at a bank on a blue Monday some years ago and in some cases that money would have been legally hers, but the bank would have used huge pressure to get her to return the money to sender.
    For instance, when someone gave orders for a bank transfer (a client of the bank) to pay an amount to a certain bank account number and he used the wrong number, didn't specify with a name and address of recipient, then the money would have been legally hers.
    Would the bank have allowed her to get away with it? Highly unlikely.

    ehh

    IF this was in fact a terrorist act against the US banks I would imagine they might do something like delete some mortgages and debts....the banks would have a hell of a time the way the sell mortgages tracking them down and following up......if however its a false flag, they just want to upset people enough without actually causing the bank to lose money ??

    It's probably the banks doing this to themselves so they have someone/something to blame and an excuse for their already "cooked books" to be even more "cooked"....

    The current attacks are "denial of service" attacks, which can be run against any website without having any specific knowledge of security vulnerabilities of the site. Even the "big boys" of the web, such as Yahoo, have been hit with such attacks at times. All the attacker needs is control of a few thousand "zombie" PC's ... which are PC's that ban be taken control of by some virus, usually without the PC owner noticing. One can purchase blocks of such zombie PC's on the black market, so I'm told. You purchase your block, send instructions to all of them to all start sending a lot of requests to the same target website at the same time, and the target website is struggling under the load.

    Actually stealing money would require breaking into the bank's website, which is quite a bit harder, and requires substantial custom effort that will vary with each bank. One could not target a "bank a day", like they are doing here.

    I have no doubt whatsoever that this is a false flag event. Geez! Look at who's reporting it - MAINSTREAM NEWS! It could very well be the beginning of a long banking holiday....and wow! Today is Friday. Friday would be a perfect day for the prez to announce a banking holiday but not until after the banks close and it's too late to get your money out. They need to find more funds to pay off the banksters you know, and why not blame the Middle East and start the War they've been craving so long at the same time? No election either....Obama stays in, martial law declared and the elite have taken full advantage of having the ball in their court.

    VIRTUAL 9-11: Will Israel Hack The US Banking System Computers and Falsely Blame It On Iran?


    KEEPING THIS AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. MORE NEW STORIES BELOW.

    Netanyahu didn't get any traction at the UN today. Indeed his bomb chart has become an object of ridicule in the alternative media. By now he is throwing a huge tantrum. He wants his war and Netanyahu is a man used to always getting what he wants.

    There are only three things Netanyahu can do now to get the war with Iran going before the Israeli elections next month.

    The first is to simply go ahead and attack Iran, expecting that the United States will protect Israel from the counter-attack even if Israel struck the first blow.

    The second option is a false-flag attack somewhere in the world to be blamed on Iran, but that is a very chancy option given the video of WIMEA lobbyist Clawson actually selling the idea that a false flag to start the war with Iran is a great idea.

    The third and final option, and the one I am starting to think is the most likely, relates to the sudden flurry of media stories and statements by people like Joseph Lieberman about how Iranian hackers are attacking the US financial system computers. (Senator Lieberman has also been pressuring Obama to sign an executive order to take over the internet.) Of course, the common sense approach still applies. Why would Iran, which wishes to avoid a war, do something that provocative.

    But we know that the US and Israel are behind the cyber-weapons like STUXNET, DUQU, FLAME, etc., that these cyber-weapons were directed against Iran, and that one variant specifically targeted banks in Lebanon and Iran. We also know that the US financial system is stretched to the breaking point, and we know that if the government of either Greece of Spain is driven from office by angry protests, credit default swaps sold by Wall Street against those debts come due, and there is no money to pay the claims. The Euro might even collapse, and that would trigger even more Credit Default Swaps. So the final option, one that strikes me as very likely, is that Israel will take down the US financial computers, and blame it on Iran. This also gets Wall Street and Washington DC off the hook, because now the financial melt-down is an act of war, rather than the result of decades of Wall Street crime and corruption and the predations of Private Central Banks. US banks have already been hit with cyber attacks over the last two weeks, to set the stage. And this would also explain why the US corporate media has paid scant attention to the riots in Spain and Greece so that Americans still dependent on ABCNNBBCBS will remain oblivious to the fact that the Euro is falling apart.

    This scenario also explains the testing of means to interfere with DNS to silence websites that may offer opposing interpretations of events (this too will be blamed on Iran).

    Such a cyber false-flag also gives the US Government the excuse to take total control of the internet so that those pesky truth-seeking bloggers don't give the slaves uppity ideas that this is just another war-starting hoax like the attack on the USS Liberty or 9-11.

    Between the possibility of a false-flag hack attack, or the collapse of the Eurozone, or just the continuing fraud by the US financial system, you should only have as much money in the banks as is needed to cover your outstanding obligations, and you should have the rest of your money under your own personal control in case those bank doors do not open and the ATMs stop working
    . PLEASE REPOST THIS THEORY TO YOUR SOCIAL NETWORKS. If we can make them doubt that the official story of a financial system computer crash will be believed by the public, we can get them to call it off! If the bank computers and alternative media do crash, the US/Israel did it!

    Sen. Lieberman Urges President Obama to Sign Executive Order to Take Over the Internet

    September 28, 2012 by patricktech

    It is more and more brazen everyday. The political establishment hates our free speech. They hate the fact they no longer have a monopoly on the flow of information nor control the news anymore. The internet and alternative media now dominates the information war. They are losing the Public relations battle where a good majority of the American people have lost faith in the government and now see them as a threat to our freedom and security as a nation.

    Even the political elite Zbigneiw Brzezinski and Hillary Clinton stated they have lost the information war. That is because the internet has bypassed the main stream dinosaur media. The major news outlets and newspapers have been losing viewers and readers because they are seen as a propaganda arm. They are losing revenue and are on the verge of collapse because they cannot compete with the alternative media.

    The former Democrat and now Independent Senator from Connecticut Joseph Lieberman who is a Israeli duel citizen wants war with Iran. Sen Lieberman is the head Chairmen of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee wants the President to sign the Executive Order to take over the Internet. The White House has sent a five page draft out to certain members of congress. Since the Authoritarians in Congress could not get Internet bills like SOPA and CISPA passed because they kill free speech using cyber-security as a Trojan horse. Since their plans have been revealed with the light of truth. Now they want bypass the Legislation process by executive order using the War Powers Act to shut down or censor the internet.

    The Government, the mainstream media and the Neo-Con radio has been exposed colluding together to keep people believing in a false paradigm. Rush Limbaugh has been caught having phony phone calls into his radio show and the Media staging an incidents to sell an agenda is being blown wide open as a hoax. They cannot sell the war with Iran or Syria. The reason we are in a war in Iraq and Afghanistan has been discredited. The tactic of false flag attacks has been uncovered. The false left-right, Republican-Democrat and Liberal-Conservative two party system paradigm is falling apart.

    Lets make taking over the internet an election loser like gun control. Touch our guns and the internet. They are out of office. The authoritarians in Washington need to be removed from power. They have shown their true colors, they hate freedom, the hate the right to keep and bear arms. The government taking over the internet shows they hate our free speech the most. Freedom of speech will prevail regardless how hard they try to silence us by censoring the Internet.

    Our Bill of Rights and the Internet belongs to the people, it is not the governments. Do not lose heart, we are winning the fight for freedom. This tyranny is in the final death throws as their tyrannical empire is collapsing. They are desperate and panicking. The internet will stay free and always be free. Kill the internet or not. The liberty movement is unstoppable.

    The Federal Reserve Monopoly Money printing press broke down several days ago by a Dizziness virus. So Bantam Bitch Ben Bernake had to come up with a story real quick. Hey lets blame it on Iran. We can kill 2 birds with one stone. Much like the fake plane that hit the Pentagon.

    Mega-Banks Plan to Steal Your Money and Blame Fake Muslim Cyber Attack

    Susanne Posel, Contributor
    Activist Post


    Senator and self-proclaimed Zionist Joseph Lieberman declared that it was Iran who cyber-attacked Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase in 2011 and began with more frequency this year. Lieberman, as the chairman of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee states that the financial attack was spurned from the state-sponsored anti-Muslim film circulating the Middle East thanks to CIA-operatives al-Qaeda.

    Lieberman explains: “I don’t believe these were just hackers. I believe this was done by Iran and the Qods force, which has its own developing cyber-attack capacity. And I believe it was in response to the increasingly strong economic sanctions that the United States and our European allies have put on Iranian financial institutions.”

    The US government is planting the propaganda seed that according to “highly classified” documents provided by the Join Chiefs of Staff’s Intelligence Directorate confirm that Iranian hackers are committing cyber-attacks against US financial institutions.

    This report assures that US mega-banks are a “valid target” of the Iranian “cyber army”. However, the attackers used a known forum that is utilized by the CIA-controlled Anonymous to issue threats and brag about their successes.

    The timing of the newly formed “digital al-Qaeda” and their expressed anger over the US-produced anti-Muslim film are questionable considering how the US and Israeli government are setting the stage for a justified war with Iran. This fake hacker group is threatening other countries controlled by the Zionist regime, such as France, Germany and Britain. According to the false flag group: “The army was recently formed and we have started to work as a team after we used to work individually. The hacking operations are of course a response to the offence against the prophet, peace and blessing be upon him.”


    Radware, a security firm, analyzed the attacks and concluded that the alleged Iranian nameless, faceless cyber army accused to attacking BoA and JPMorgan Chase did not conduct the attack.

    This week, Wells Fargo & Co. upped their cybersecurity measures after being attacked by a nameless, faceless group calling themselves Cyber Fighters of Izz ad-din Al Qassam. Wells Fargo announced in a formal statement: “We apologize to customers who may be experiencing intermittent access issues to wellsfargo.com and online banking. We are working to quickly resolve this issue.”

    Customer complaints included difficulty logging-in as well as pages not loading properly.

    Cyber Fighters of Izz ad-din Al Qassam claimed that their attack was retaliatory for the anti-Muslim film produced by the US government.

    According to House Representative, Mike Rogers, the anti-Muslim film was released to cover the US government’s involvement in the bombing and death of US Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens at the hand of the CIA-sponsored al-Qaeda.

    The film in question is actually a 14-minute trailer written, produced and directed by Sam Bacile, a.k.a. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula who is an FBI informant, an Israeli citizen and the patsy used by the Zionist regime in order to facilitate a manufactured revolt of fake Islamic tension in the Middle East.

    Just as the false flag bomb threats called in by anonymous members of al-Qaeda earlier this month, this banking threat has the hallmarks of a state-sponsored false flag to unnerve the American public, mask a planned implosion of the US economy through the ultimate theft of the banking cartels: the money deposited into private checking accounts by banking customers.

    On August 9th the banks were given the legal authority to steal money from their customer’s private accounts just as Jon Corzine had with MF Global with the ruling on Sentinel Management Group.

    Based on the ruling, regulatory systems such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SPIC) will not insure customer funds, investments, depositors and retirees who hold accounts in banks. In fact, the FDIC has announced that beginning in January 2013, they will stop insuring all deposits. Of the estimated $1.6 trillion in deposits, and a measured 85-90% in the hands of the mega-banks, large depositors are expected to close their accounts due to the lack of security.

    The money in deposits will be funneled through the US Treasury for short-term securities. It is expected that the US Treasury will offer negative interest rates; this combination will surely cause a run on the banks that will put Spain and Greece to shame.

    Per request of the Federal Reserve Bank, in 2010 the mega-banks filed contingency plans wherein the US government could not assist them. Called resolution plans, they describe how to liquidate banking assets without causing further damage to a failing financial system. By selling “non-core assets” without upsetting shareholders while protecting the monetary system, taxpayers and creditors is the work of the mega-banks who have contributed solely to the destruction of the global financial markets.

    In the event of insolvency, duress or bankruptcy, the banks could use customer secured funds to assist them in repaying debts and loans. Currently Bank of America (BoA) has sold off portions of their domestic assets to secure capitol while Citigroup has followed suit.

    By adhering to initiatives provided by the Financial Stability Board, these mega-banks will, when they enact their resolution plans, coordinate with international banking institutions and regulators rather than simply implode.

    While preparing for financial collapse, the technocrats on Wall Street are also acquiring firearms, ammunition and control over private mercenary corporations like DynCorp and ‘Blackwater” as authorized by the Department of Defense (DoD) directive 3025.18.

    Recently, the former mortgage broker of JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley revealed that due to their involvement in the mortgage-backed securities and derivatives fraud, they are selling off their non-core assets. This means that Morgan Stanley is becoming insolvent.

    The recent false flag attacks on our banks falls in line with the scenario that has been coming into view for quite some time. In America, just announcing a banking holiday would cause absolute chaos and there may not be enough armed forces within our US borders to handle the rioting in the streets. However, the banking cartels must implode the US economy in order to gain the sovereign debt – as they are currently doing in Spain and Greece.

    Meanwhile, there is a Zionist plot to attack Iran over false claims of procurement of nuclear weapons that do not exist. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has been peddling this lie since 1992. Twenty years later, it appears that the Zionist-controlled Israeli government may just have their war with Iran along with the “unwavering support” of the US government.

    Framing Iran for the American banking system’s computer failure kills two birds with one stone. Not only would the banking cartels be able to shut down all banking computers (and simultaneously syphon the remaining money in their customers' accounts) but also use this fake cyber-attack to engage the American public against Iran and justify their highly anticipated military strike.

    By blaming Iran, the technocrats could initiate the shutdown of all domestic banking computer systems in order to “purge” the virus and reconfigure their systems. However, this would be a false flag meant to pacify the public to avert mass panic. While the general public would fall for the cover story, the banking cartels would simply electronically transfer all customer funds from private checking accounts out to off-shore banks where they could not be touched and cover their tracks.

    The American public, being told that Iran was to blame might not riot in the streets as we have seen in European countries of late. There would be total support for the war with Iran if this scheme could be pulled off. The technocrats could not only bankrupt America but also simultaneously stave off a social display and breakdown of society because the Iranians would be to blame.

    The plan is perfect. All we have to do is not be fooled and use the recent riots in Spain as a barometer as to how we can take this country back from the Zionists and the banking cartels.

    it would be fun to wake up and find $500,000 sitting in my bank account...
    That happened to a friend of mine in the UK about ten years ago. She found she'd had £300,000 (well over half a million dollars) suddenly deposited into her account overnight. She called the bank, and it was a mistake. They were highly embarrassed.

    She said the most interesting part of her story was her friends' different reactions(!). Everyone had a different suggestion about what she should have done. (My own suggestion was to have called a lawyer to see if the money was legally hers or not, and whether she would have committed a crime if she had not reported it.)

    I had the same experience from the other side. The last time I sold a house, the entire proceeds were transferred to the account of a namesake. Fortunately I was paying attention

    D.O.S? Smells like Anonymous.

    Blame it on the Muslims? Smells like false flag.

    How do you kill two birds with one stone? Break the morale of Anonymous by blaming it on the Muslims thus perpetuating religious animosity.

    No matter what they do, we move that much closer to a Gold Standard and that much farther from a faulty vapor paper system. I'm still voting for Sauron.

    The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend, if he is more closely related to my enemy.

    That a Gold Standard opposes the faulty vapor paper system doesn't mean I welcome the Gold Standard.

    That depends on who owns the gold ... us or them. If the bastards in power own most of the gold (much of it off the public record, perhaps), then a Gold Standard is just another way for them to leverage further up their control of humanity.

    -----

    Everyone with a brain knows that the world's financial meltdown has been caused by & manipulated by - to a major degree - the big banks/corporations, in collusion with select world governments. It's a matter of time before the whole thing collapses finally, every fiat currency that has ever been has ultimately suffered the same fate. When the time comes, these same banks/corporations/governments should rightly be held to account.

    This latest development I believe has been orchestrated to divert blame to an otherwise blameless patsy. And the sad thing? People will fall for it. If this is the trigger to cause the thing to collapse, some "rogue" nation will get the blame, and then the banks/governments that are actually to blame will step in to point the finger where it doesn't deserve to be pointed, and no doubt will offer "solutions" to either get out of the mess or to start a whole new cycle of unsustainable currency.

    Goldman Sachs is not a major retail banking player in the USA. Here's their list of retail banking locations (from http://www.usbanklocations.com/goldm...ocations.htm):
    • Dallas, TX 75201
    • Salt Lake City, UT 84101
    • Jersey City, NJ 07302
    • New York, NY 10282
    • Boston, MA 02110
    That's it - just five of them. So I wouldn't expect them to be a major target for "retail banking terrorist operations" or whatever this operation was.

    (They do have private wealth management offices in a few more cities, listed here: http://www.goldmansachs.com/what-we-...main-page.html)

    You're right, they have more business in finances at large. I just think they're on top of the monopoly and that they always reap something out of simingly cataclisms, when they're not the ones pushing things. I'm betting a war with Iran would represent a few good opportunities for them.
