What do you think of this? I recieved it from a Christian group member. Check out the link below too! (I checked with snopes.com, but didn't find anything on it.)







If you have any cash in the bank that you can draw out, I would highly suggest drawing out a few hundred dollars (or as much as you can) TODAY. Word on the streets and short-wave radio (from very reliable sources and news overseas) is that there is a high chance of a bank run on all U.S. major banks within the next few days, probably right after the banking holiday. The problem is that there could be martial law declared on these banks, which means you won't be able to get to your money (indefinitely) if you don't act soon enough.





I know this you may think I sound crazy or paranoid, especially if you have not been following the news re: the failing economy. But that is neither here nor there... it's better to be safe than sorry! Even if nothing happens, worse case scenario is you just end up re-depositing the money after a couple of weeks and everything cools off.

I think that it is some nut trying to start a run on the banks.

First of all there would not be any "martial law". There are built in triggers that close the banks and stock market if there is problems with them.

It's a crock!!!

I've never heard this martial law stuff. I do know that there are triggers to shut down the banks and markets to keep folks from draining it all at once.

I also know that the FDIC is now hiring additional bank examiners in anticipation of bank failures in the near future.
