Bank Runs, Featuring Mary Poppins! Let Me Explain…

They always hide these things in plain sight….

Sweet old Mary Poppins, remember that movie?

I know I saw it years ago, and I’m pretty sure there’s a song about a spoonful of sugar helping the medicine go down, and I’m also pretty sure Mary Poppins flies with a magic umbrella?

Is any of that correct?

But other than that, I don’t really know anything about the movie….until now.

But a big thanks to Charles (last name withheld for privacy) for sending it to me today.

I’m not entirely sure why he did, but thank you Charles!

He did a good job summarizing the plot of the movie:

Do you remember the plot of the movie?

Mary Poppins went to work for a rich London banker named (ironically?) Mr. Banks. It was Mr. Banks who insisted that Mary bring the children to the bank where he worked. It was the lead partner of the bank, a Mr. Dawes, who told one of the Banks children, Michael, that he should deposit his pocket-money into a bank account. Michael refused, saying he’d rather give his tuppence to the old lady outside the bank to buy feed for the pigeons, and Dawes snatched the money out of his hand. Young Michael was furious and demanded that Dawes “Give it back! Gimme back my money!’

Other clients in the bank, overhearing Michael’s protest, begin to ask for their own deposits. That resulted in a horde of account holders making a “run” on the bank, forcing the bank to refuse withdrawals.

Mr. Banks (Mary Poppins’ employer) was subsequently fired by the bank. In a feel-good ending, though, he’s not only re-employed, but becomes a partner at the bank. He realizes that being a father is more important than being a cut-throat capitalist, and Mary flies off, having brought happiness and contentment to the Banks household.

And now here is the famous scene of the bank runs.

Why am I showing you this?

Because I absolutely believe they preprogram this stuff and “hide it in plain sight”.

I’ve warned a lot about Bank Runs and for good reason — because I think you’re going to see one on such a large scale that it will stun millions of Americans.

This clip shows what it would have looked like back then, in person, when everyone went in to a bank branch.

It’s a little different now, and will most happen online (you simply won’t be allowed to log in, or you’ll log in and it will say your money is gone — it wasn’t your money anyway! We loaned it out 9x times!).

But I think there’s power in seeing something so thanks to my friend Charles, we all can watch this together — watch how quickly the panic spreads.

I think they absolutely NAILED that part of this scene.

And while things are different now, one thing that’s the same is the panic will spread in a very similar way.  Only it will be FASTER.  Everything is faster now.  The speed at which this goes down will not leave you any ability to get your money out.  Not even close.

Anyway, watch here and then I’ll discuss some additional thoughts — plus something you can do about it right now:

It’s why I keep sounding the alarm so loudly around here.

The problems have NOT gone away, only gotten worse.

This report is just from LAST MONTH, and it has not been solved:

A Top 4 Bank JUST Freaked Out — “Major WARNING”

This was from 2 months ago, and also has not been solved:

US Banking: Unrealized Losses Soar to $517 Billion, Surpassing 2008 Crisis

It's why I keep telling you:

GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF THE BANKS!

But I am a reporter and what I see happening with the banking system scares me a lot.

The first thing that scares me about keeping dollars in a bank account is how they lose value year over year.

You know that right?

Think you're being smart and "saving up"?

You're literally losing money every year to inflation.

This perfectly sums it up:

Yes, if you simply left $1 million in cash in the bank since 1913, do you know what it would be worth?

$40,000.

Your $1 million from 1913 would have the purchasing power in 2024 of $40,000.

Ouch!

But that's not even what scares me the most....

What scares me is another round of bank closures like we had last year.

Here's what's happening in China right now:

BREAKING: 40 Chinese Banks Just Crashed and Vanished — “Worse Than 1980 S&L Crisis!”

Yes, that's real.

And yes, I believe it comes here next.

But even if your bank is open, can you get the money out?

Have you ever tried?

Sure you have to leave some money in there, but you don't want big amounts of money sitting in bank accounts.

Because you might never be able to get it out!

Go ahead, test me out on this...even right now in good times (before a full-blown banking crisis hits America) go to your bank right now and try and withdraw $10,000.  They will look at you with panicked looks on their face.  I guarantee it.  Then they'll go get their supervisor.  The supervisor will come over and tell you they can't do that today.  Come back in 2-3 days.  And then they'll start the interrogation.  "What do you need this money for?"  "Where is this money going?"  Only after you answer all their questions, wait 2-3 days, fill out a bunch of paperwork, only then will you MAYBE be allowed to take YOUR money out of YOUR account.

I guarantee that's how it will go for you....

Test me out!

Go try it and report back below in the comments.

So now the big question: Ok, what can YOU do about it?  

How do you prepare?

How do you make sure you and your family are not at risk when the banking crisis hits America (which I believe it will, very soon).

The answer is you do exactly what I've been preaching about for over a year now....get your money OUT of the banks!  (Not personalized financial advice, just common sense from where I sit).  That's Step #1.

Hold firm, be determined, play their stupid games, and get your money out of the banks!

Because while YOU view it as your money in your bank account, that's not how the bank views it.  The bank views it as their money.  And the dirty little secret is they LENT OUT your money to other people already.  Sometimes 9-10 times over!  It's true, I'll do a separate report soon on that explaining "fractional reserve banking".

But Step #2 is the most critical....you don't want to just get your money out of the banks, you want to get it out of the US Dollar.

The most basic and traditional financial wisdom has always viewed Precious Metals (Gold and Silver) as the safest places to have your money when a crisis hits.

So while I can't give you personalized financial advice, I can tell you a couple things: (1) the Big Central Banks have all been buying Gold and Silver hand over fist for the last couple years.  Gee, I wonder why?  And (2) Gold and Silver have stood the test of time back to the Bible times as being the best store of wealth to weather out a storm in the economy.  Period.

And now Step #3 is where I'm going to make sure I don't leave you hanging.

I have two killer connections for you...

Two companies that I trust for getting the best deals on Gold and Silver.  PHYSICAL Gold and Silver, the real stuff.  Not some phony symbol traded on some stock exchange that may or may not have actual Gold and Silver backing it up.  You want the real stuff.

And because I love the free market and competition, I have two great companies to recommend to you.  You can talk to both, see who you like better, and then take action!

The first is WLT Precious Metals ran by my friend Ira Bershatsky.

I have personally sent family members to Ira for 5-figure purchases of Gold and Silver and he treated them like royalty.  They were very pleased.

That's how much I trust Ira.

I didn't tell him I was sending them over either (and these particular family members have a different last name) so I did it as a bit of a "secret shopper" test and Ira passed with flying colors.

Of course I knew he would.

That's why I work with him and that's why I have confidence telling you about him.

Ira can handle bulk purchases of bullion, coins, whatever you want.

All custom ordered and shipped right to your door.

A lot of people love Bullion because its the cheapest and most economical way to do it, to stretch your dollar into as much gold and silver as possible.

The website is called WLT Precious Metals and when you see my logo in the top left-hand corner, you'll know you're in the right place.

You'll get a personal phone call with Ira Bershatsky (or someone on his team) and they will work with you free of charge for as long as needed to answer any questions you have and get you taken care of.

How about that!

You don't see that much anymore, but Ira and his team pride themselves on good old-fashioned real customers service:

No sales pitch, just real, actual help.

And the best prices you will find.

Here's the only disclaimer I will give you: because they do pride themselves on dedicated service, it might take a few days before you get a phone call back.  Just be patient.

Good things come to those who wait!

You can contact Ira and WLT Precious Metals here.

Ira can also help you if you want to purchase Gold and Silver in your IRA.

I mean, his name is Ira, after all, OF COURSE he can help you purchase in your IRA account.

The thing I love about purchasing in your IRA account is you can do it with no money out of pocket.  You just take money already in the IRA account, perhaps in stocks or bonds or other investments, and you can shift it into Gold and Silver.

Again, I'm not your personalized financial advisor, I'm just explaining how it works.

And it's REALLY cool.

So even if you're saying times are tough right now, I don't have a lot of spare money to shift into Gold and Silver, you might have a golden opportunity (pun intended!) already sitting there in an established retirement account.

Ok, that was option #1.

Now I want to tell you about option #2.

An equally great company, I am so happy to be working with these guys.

This next company is called Genesis Gold and this is also for people who want to purchase real physical gold or silver in their IRAs (Investment Retirement Accounts).

In addition to "no money out of pocket", do you know what the beauty of that is?
