Good idea they posted in the rumors section. Looks like BS to me...some credit union says online banking/bill pay will not be available.

My credit union did that last year. They took down the website--well preannounced--for a few days. This looks like, after reading the comments, very much ado about nothing.

[PerfectScotty]

Hope so, mostly agree with you. We'll wait and see what happens.

[Hardondee]

Peculiar timing though.

Peculiar timing though.

Not nearly as spooky as when my credit union went down for three days in the middle of the credit crisis--almost exactly a year ago. Now THAT was spooky.

If it is going to go down as a CONTROLLED big change....
It will happen in the middle of the night........
We will wake up and everything will be changed........
That way it avoids all the run on the banks.......

Okay, since I actually live where one of these is based (Redstone Federal Credit Union) (Huntsville, Alabama)...... I am going to call BS on this one.

Why? First, Redstone has a history of being quite conservative with their lending practices, and never got caught up in the housing bubble disaster because home prices never got out of hand in Huntsville. Example...... most of my neighbors are engineers with most households making $100-150K+ living in houses costing less than $200-300K. Do the math...... they (and their bank) aren't going bankrupt any time soon. Second, our local economy in Huntsville has held up rather well during the recession. The unemployment rate has recently moved above 7%, but this is mainly hitting the lower-income jobs.... so the systemic effects are minimal. Most of the defense contractors and technology companies have laid off very few, and a surprising amount are still hiring. Long story short, if you spend a weekend in Huntsville...... it is almost impossible to tell there is even a recession going on "out there".

So......... Redstone is doing fine. They (and Royal Bank of Canada) have actually become much more popular in Huntsville since the financial crisis started because they are considered "safe". Nonetheless, keep some cash (or PMs) on hand people...... you never know what is around the bend!

Here's something odd.

I saw this article which said the Bank of New Zealand would be closed on 4 November 09 so the staff could do "community work" and I thought then, huh?  Never heard of this before.

Here's their website and see the advt.  It says, "Closed 4 November, for good".

Weird.

Could be nothing.  Or could be the end of the world.

Yes I know, that's the official story, but (tinfoil hat on) maybe it's a cover!

From out of left field, you might say...this was forwarded to me by one of those friends who forwards way too many happy-sappy email chain letters.  {sigh}  But this one was a little out of her ordinary, although it does end on a note of positive, magical thinking.

It's apparently a "planet alert" (dated Oct. 1) by an astrologer named Mahala Gayle.  Never heard of her, but she says a few things that seem bang on with the rough dates and expectations being mentioned here.  Take it as you will.   

In my August article, I had written that Pluto, along with the moon's node, is now in the sign of Capricorn. This sign rules death of the old way of doing things and birth of the new. Capricorn rules structures of all kinds, like houses, buildings, apartments, governments, businesses, banks, and bridges. It also rules earthquakes, which could be what causes structures to fall. This sure happened in those earthquakes and also the tsunami and floods. The moon's node will be in Capricorn for one and a half years. This means there will be many earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and a total change in our form of government during this time period... [snip]

...I had been expecting some major events to happen in September as the node triggered this past solar eclipse. Mars will be triggering the solar eclipse the second week of October. This could bring some more major Earth events. I think it will also affect our financial system. Mars was activating Pittsburgh when the G20 meeting took place. They said after the meeting that they had solved our financial crisis. I believe they did, although we have not heard the outcome yet. It's my understanding that all of the gold the Templers have been holding onto for all these years was divided among those 20 countries. I also believe that organization will be our new governing system and the Federal Reserve Bank and all of their connections will be gone or dissolved in the not too distant future. I think we have a very exciting future in front of us.

The planet Mars is on the ascendant of this full moon chart. Mars will be on 23 degrees Cancer, Mercury will be on 23 degrees Virgo, and Uranus will be on 23 degrees Pisces. There will be a few planets triggering each other. Pluto in the United States birth chart is on 29 degrees Capricorn in the house of money. In a few days, Mars will be triggering this energy. Looks like there will be a change in our money system or some kind of financial event. This could also bring a violent act to our country. I hope not, but it is a possibility.
