Ignoring Tsipras Plea For Calm, Greeks Storm ATMs, Stores, Gas Stations
Zerohedge ^ | 6-28-2015 | Durden

Just a few hours ago Greek PM Tsipras addressed his nation imploring then to "remain calm" and reassuring them that their "deposits were safe." It appears the Greeks did not believe him.

Many were wondering where the Greek bank lines were for the past several months.

Turns out the local depositors were merely waiting until just after the last minute to withdraw their funds... horde gas... and stack food. Greece, it appears is Venezuela - the new socialist paradise.

Keep Calm...

“”Not that far away. Within five years or less.””

Social or economic collapse?

I went and researched when the major market corrections have happened back to 1929.

Oddly enough, most occured from Aug - Nov.

Society is ready to go now, but the bean counters can keep the balls in the air for a long time with help from Washington. Money will come due soon enough,, but I am not seeing the signs of it right now.

The cities on fire, interstates and air travel shut down, and food rationed by Homeland Security can happen and the financial folks will still make money, but when our creditors stop accepting our IOUs , then the economy crumbles and ceases central operations and goes to local/black market economy, eliminating payments to the Federal Government (fed workers lose jobs) and the house of cards built by the Fed Reserve, the IMF, and the various other international financial institutions go off the rails. This is the part that will be a while in the making,,,and can be avoided....hopefully.

Just try to be observant. My father was a mining engineer. When I was 15 we looked at the tailings in a number of old gold mines to consider filing a claim on an abandoned mine. Gold was $25 an ounce. I have been following it ever since.
