A family member from Irvine, CA (who’s a branch manager at Bank of America) told us two weeks ago that her bank held a "workshop" where the last two days were dedicated to discussing their bank’s new security measures. During these last two days, the workshop included members from the Homeland Security Office who instructed them on how to field calls from customers and what they are to tell them in the event of a national disaster. She said they were told how only agents from Homeland Security (during such an event) would be in charge of opening safe deposit boxes and determining what items would be given to bank customers.

At this point they were told that no weapons, cash, gold, or silver will be allowed to leave the bank - only various paperwork will be given to its owners. After discussing the matter with them at length, she and the other employees were then told not to discuss the subject with anyone.

4. Gee, things are coming to an end soon.

Back in the 80s, a friend who happened to be the Deputy State Auditor for Montana told me 'with all the changes taking place in laws governing banking, you kids will all be better off keeping your money in a coffee can under your own beds!'.

Bet he is spinning in his grave now.

5. THis is a hoax, right? If not, it is the most blatant theft imaginable.

What do the terms of renting say? What is the law? This is another unitary declaration? If serious, you have to ask what else is planned.

This requires an investigation. This is something that anyone with or without a box can understand.

The person who wrote the above is asking that the family member be taken to court because, as you know, it was none other than Alberto himself, who went after the reporter who exposed the communication spying. He didn't debate the fourth amendement. He's hot on the trail of the whistleblower.

Indian bad.
White man good.
