Google Trends Shows Why The Status Quo "Powers That Be" Should Be Scared. Very Scared

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The volume of searches for the phrase 'Bank Run' has just hit an all-time high - higher now than even during the peak of the Lehman Brothers 'moment'. While English dominates the language choices, the Europeans (Dutch, Germans, and French) are extremely 'interested' as are the Chinese...but it appears the Singaporeans are running the most scared (as we noted here) is perhaps not surprising, followed by the Irish and the Americans - with Germany a disappointing 10th - perhaps they really do not care as much as everyone's bluff-calling hopes. It seems the fears of real 'bank runs' are becoming virtually 'viral' - not a good sign for the stability of the fictional-reserve-banking-dependent status quo.

remember google is evil

when following a trend you consider sensitive - download the csv file every so often when you check it.

there have been instances of resets so trends can....uh....disappear if someone else realizes it is sensitive after you do!

Well, when you have an MEP satying on BBC, "I think we've got a bank run going on [in Spain]", what do you expect?

Not only "Bank Run" on Google, but NOW the FDIC has the TBTF banks that do derivatives trading or trading, will no longer have the "Full backing of the FDIC":

 

 

1. Effectively immediately, we have increased the FDIC deposit insurance for any US bank that engages in ANY trading of derivatives or underwriting securities or other investment banking activities by threefold. This 3X fee increase goes into effect immediately. It applies regardless whether these trades are hedges for proprietary trades or are made on behalf of clients.

2. Effective in 90 days, we are LOWERING the insured maximum insured deposit liability to $100,000 per account for derivative trading firms. Effective in 180 days, the insured maximum insured deposit liability drops to  $50,000 per account.

3. Effective in 1 year from today, on May 23, 2016, we will no longer offer deposit insurance for any firm that engages in derivative trading, underwriting securities or engages in Investment banking.

4. Any bank with fewer than 10,000 depositors or less than $5 billion in assets may apply for a discretionary waiver of these rules.

Number 4 is the killer.  How can a TBTF be that if they have less thatn 10,000 depositers or less that $5 billion?????  These asshole TBTF and NOW ON THEIR OWN!!!!  And the banks that are only "banks" and nmo trading have the FDIC backing.

 

This is a good day!

The problem with running on the bank is that all you wind up with is more paper.  You still don't have anything of value.

I don't give a shit if dumb Americans are just looking up the definition of "bank run" because someone on the teevee said it.  People are learning/thinking about the subject.  That makes things pretty fucking unstable.

so, like there's a bank run. right? look at it this way: just because they don't happen to have any depositors doesn't mean the rest of their business model doesn't work. just unregulate them. let their other numbers run...

I only have so much room to hoard, somethings it's easier to know how to make your own. Like laundry detergent...I've been using it for over 3 months now, works great.

1   Fels-Naptha soap bar
1  Cup - Arm & Hammer Super Washing Soda*
½  Cup Borax

-Grate soap or break into pieces and process in a food processor until powdered. Mix all ingredients. For light load, use 1 Tablespoon. For heavy or heavily soiled load, use 2 Tablespoons. Yields: 3 Cups detergent. (Approx. 40 loads)

*Arm & Hammer "Super Washing Soda" - Baking Soda will not work, nor will Arm & Hammer Detergent - It must be sodium carbonate!!

 

TIPS FOR LAUNDRY SOAP: We use Fels-Naptha  bar soap in the homemade soap recipes, but you can use Ivory, Sunlight, Kirk's Hardwater Castile or Zote bars. Don't use heavily perfumed soaps. We buy Fels-Naptha by the case from our local grocer or online. Washing Soda and Borax can often be found on the laundry or cleaning aisle. Recipe cost approx. $2 per batch.

 

Try the no knead method of bread making. A kid could do it. Learn to make do, the shiny you have stacked will last longer, plus you don't ever have to do without in case you can't score what you need. I didn't go looking for these recipes, they are just popping up all over the place. Learn to do as much as you can from scratch. Buy basics, don't throw money at processed crap. Learn to cook. See you on the other side.

AUDJPY price action hit resistance and and the wave count suggest a possible big wave 3 move lower next. This would likely coincide with equities weakening as well. www.marketoverflow.com

Maybe if you have to look up "bank run" on Google to figure out what's going on you're going to be too late to the party to even get scraps and leftovers.

I work with a small group of guys. I have been telling them for about the past two years how bad the economy is. I have been telling them that there will be a bank run among other thing.

I am not rich at all but I have $1000 stashed in $1 bills. When the bank run happens they will be in big demand.

Some of the guys have even, over time, started showing interest. Some have been asking me about what coins to keep. I talk about silver a lot. One of the even told me when the time to buy silver is right to let him know.

I think it may be sinking in. When I go to work every day I have two firearms with me and my credit and bank card. I watch for the signs. Wen I think the time Is right I'm gonna max that bio OTC h hh out. I'll be the one at the store buying up cartloads of water while the entire store looks at me like I'm a goofball. They will be thirsty later.

I make a bank run every payday. I stand at the window, smile when she hands me paper, and then tell her, "now I can go to my coin shop and pick up some real money."

I’ll be honest, ½ thinks it’s another game of prisoner's dilemma. The other ½ of me thinks the Central Planning cunts will send a strong message.. if someone decides to drop out of a debt based currency. A percentage of the brain dead group will hold onto the Euro only to find its value cannot be exchanged at new fiat valuation levels [Wealth transfer goal completed]. The divide and conquer upraise division will ensue. 

Going back to prisoner's dilemma theory for a moment. They’ll allow the EU to collapse and head for the lion share of US Federal Reserve fiat debt holding crowd. Considering that everyone is shifting money into US reserve currency safe haven fund, repeating what couldn’t be accomplished during EU crisis mode can be achieved now. Think about how border collies & sheep function in unison.. 

Sheepdogs in scotland 

Ask yourself, when will the next US debt ceiling fear crisis begin? All the monies have been herded into easy pickings to commence wealth extraction. Just food for thought. Look forward to your replies.

I think we're really stepping into "The Twilight Zone" of an era that will see the Feds conviscating accounts and safe deposit boxes.  Best advice, dig a hole.
