Treasury Department Seeking Survival Kits For Bank Employees
Free Beacon ^ | 12/10/14 | Elizabeth Harrington

Posted on 12/10/2014 12:42:13 PM PST by Nachum

The Department of Treasury is seeking to order survival kits for all of its employees who oversee the federal banking system, according to a new solicitation.

The emergency supplies would be for every employee at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), which conducts on-site reviews of banks throughout the country. The survival kit includes everything from water purification tablets to solar blankets.

The government is willing to spend up to $200,000 on the kits, according to the solicitation released on Dec. 4.

The survival kits must come in a fanny-pack or backpack that can fit all of the items, including a 33-piece personal first aid kit with “decongestant tablets,” a variety of bandages, and medicines.

The kits must also include a “reusable solar blanket” 52 by 84 inches long, a 2,400-calorie food bar, “50 water purification tablets,” a “dust mask,” “one-size fits all poncho with hood,” a rechargeable lantern with built-in radio, and an “Air-Aid emergency mask” for protection against airborne viruses.

I would like to think that they must know something.

But when it comes to waste and incompetence, the fools at Treasury are just as financially fraudelent as any other gubmint agency.

November 16th, at G20 in Australia....the leaders gave their approval to banks making your larger investments BANK CAPITAL in case a crash should happen...your money is the bail-out.

I guess there will be a huge fall out when people can’t get their money out, it will be gone, it’s called a bail-in.

Is this fallout from all the dying bankers we had a little while ago?

Our private company distributed kits to all their employees.

Prepping for the Big One I guess.

I have read on different sites (can’t remember all their names) that May 2015 and/or September 2015 is going to be a doozie - financial crash.

Either they have some sort of special knowledge, or they’re trying to create a panic.

Given the behavior of the administration and its closest consultants like Jonathan Gruber, it almost seems the first option can be ruled out.

Unfortunately, these days you never know.
