Looks like the Cyprus agreement is as empty as their ATM’s
Have The Russians Already Quietly Withdrawn All Their Cash From Cyprus?
An old thread that has an old booklet from 1939 that talks about FDR and the New Deal. It is happening again (Obama’s “rebuild America on a new foundation”):

Excerpt:
The word emergency was then understood to mean what the dictionaries said it meant — namely, a sudden juncture of events demanding immediate action. It was supposed to refer only to the panic and the banking crisis, both temporary.
But what it meant to the President, as nobody then knew, was a very different thing. Writing a year later, in his book, On Our Way, he said: “Strictly speaking, the banking crisis lasted only one week.... But the full meaning of that word emergency related to far more than banks; it covered the whole economic and therefore the whole social structure of the country. It was an emergency that went to the roots of our agriculture, our commerce, our industry....It could be cured only by a complete reorganization and measured control of the economic structure....It called for a long series of new laws, new administrative agencies. It required separate measures affecting different subjects; but all of them component parts of a fairly definite broad plan.”
So, what the New Deal really intended to do ....with war powers if necessary, was to reorganize and control the “whole economic and therefore the whole social structure of the country.” And therein lay the meaning — the only consistent meaning — of a series of acts touching money, banking and credit which, debated as monetary policy, made no sense whatever.
I took a look at public holidays for Cyprus this year, and March 29th and April 1st (Good Friday and Easter Monday, respectively) are both official public holidays, though Orthodox Easter is in May.
Rather odd, the banks being open only one day before they shut down again for a long holiday weekend (four days).
Something’s hinky.
Thanks for posting. ZH is doing an extraordinary job following Cyprus. It is very interesting. BE PREPARED.

Yup. Gotta give the Russian billionaire oligarchs time to rob their Cypriot Banks!
They are re-opening AGAIN? When did they re-open before?
