Are bank runs and financial contagion incoming?

BRICS countries have circa 3.3 billion of the world's 8 billion people. An article I read the other day claimed for the first time their combined GDP surpassed that of the G7 countries. Allegedly, many more nations are anxious to join the BRICS group.

When does BRICS become one of those hated globalist institutions, do you think, Morg?

You ought to have concluded by now that I believe a hidden hand has a 'do this or else' hold over every government.

In anticipation of your next question, my guess is the current leaders of the Learned Elders of Zion are atop the pyramid.

I've been looking at the Protocols lately. It's littered with the word GOYIM, always uppercase and always used as a pejorative.

The bad news for Slough's Lodge (and every other one) is an amazing (to me) amount of contempt is reserved for those who wear aprons. Most can be found inside Protocol XV under the heading GENTILES ARE STUPID.

6 Begins with 'The GOYIM enter the lodges out of curiosity or in the hope by their means to get a nibble at the public pie...'

It's clear who created the Masons and why they target recruiting coppers above everyone else. It's also evident when they have served their purpose they will also get a one-way ticket to their nearest FEMA camp, or similar, and not for a spot of re-education.

Now two and a half weeks since Ruto made his speech. I have been tracking the demise of the dollar against the Kenyan Shilling for you, just in case you forgot to do so.

Little blip (there is that word again) where poor unfortunate people who believed the little snips that manipulators post took a bath, otherwise the dollar continues its steady appreciation.

By the way. Here is the bit debunking the latest conspiracy bollocks by contextualising Ruto's speech.

Whatever it takes to wake people up mate, and silence the trolls like you. I still stand by my prediction that financial chaos is coming our way, no matter how hard you try to to deny it with your silly blip theories.

So if this isn't financial chaos yet, how would you characterize it?

First Republic Bank seized and sold by US regulators.

I guess it was just another "localised issue around a bank too dependent on hi-tech stocks!"

Ah, it's Ronnie Twiglet right on cue. I think you were about to explain that if this isn't financial chaos yet, how you would characterize it?

These bank problems, as with so much else, are long planned and part of a deliberate take down of the global economy. Unlike the clot shot, which many resisted, it will be difficult to swerve fallout from the impending financial and economic collapse.

Our Cyril, who's effectively Munchkin-in-Chief to his disciples around here, mistakenly believes he will earn a bigger plate of cockroaches or locusts in a post-Great Reset world.

His followers are probably unaware of what we are on the cusp of. But it matters little whether they are or not because just like their spiritual leader obedient passivity is their only mode.

When those crowns are placed on bonces inside Westminster Abbey this weekend then stage two of this takeover will begin in earnest. By careful design, the next two years will be absolute hell and most who survive it will beg for, rather than resist, what will be presented as a solution to the chaos and misery they have endured.

If the financial system is unravelling, it seems to be happening at a far slower pace than previous collapses.

Isn't it more likely that given the current pressures on the global economy that some banks are likely to feel the squeeze

Two options, it's either an isolated incident, or part of a long-term plan. You decide, but time will be the ultimate arbitrator of truth.

Cyril, our very own Mr Blippy, will be along shortly to reassure us, and himself, that this is... wait for it... a blip.

The Banking Collapse Of 2023 Is Now Officially Bigger Than The Banking Collapse Of 2008

- Yes, you read the headline correctly.

Collectively, the three big banks that have collapsed in 2023 had more assets than all 25 banks that collapsed in 2008 did.

2008 saw the peak in terms of asset-size for bank failures ($373.6 billion with 'only' 25 failures), while 2010 saw the peak in number of banks failing (157 vs 25 in 2008).

So far in 2023, 3 banks have failed with combined assets of $548.5 billion.

Even including the $170.9 billion in assets from failed banks in 2009, 2023 is still worse than the two 'great financial crisis' years combined.

Unfortunately, the banking collapse of 2023 is far from over.

We still have eight more months to go before this year is done, and many more banks are currently teetering on the brink of disaster. -

that's a strange way to measure the impact of the current events Vs the financial crisis in 2008.

the banks that have failed were bought up by other banks right? that now own those assets.
in terms of total value wiped off the global economy I bet it isn't anywhere close to 2008

Not strange at all because the current crisis could be a consolidation of the banking sector orchestrated by the big banks and the government. If that were the case 2008 would be irrelevant.
