Do these events indicate a looming financial crisis ....?

...Speculation is rife that the series of deaths are connected to some kind of looming financial crisis or a huge legal case targeting bankers for malfeasance, although no definite link has been established.......

sign on bank ATM reads :

"...ATTENTION Due to recent attacks on ATMs in Western Australia the cash holdings in this machine have been significantly reduced, which may result in an interruption to service. We apologize to our customers for any inconvenience this may cause ....

 

........or just a series of unfortunate 'coincidences'?

well i know there is the 1929 wall street crash scenario as a precedent , but i've never actually checked to see whether they did jump out of windows in numbers.  the incidents i know of personally were generally depression or  a girl (or boy) a marriage a drought etc .. more than a mere stock market crash anyway.


I think the event that indicated a looming financial crisis in Australia was on September the 7th (?) 2013.

Posting a site called;  Hang The Bankers,  is sickening after the outpouring of a person who did just that this week.

 

There have been dark clouds gathering re the economies around the world for that last 3 years but some still spent like drunken clowns. We are going to feel the brunt of the handout mentality when it is taken away.

 

The unions are still blocking any help for Qantas re the ownership and threatening strike, duh.

 

Shorten won't repeal the CT, still clinging onto it and he will sink with this gross policy.

 

So hang on folks it's coming.

No need to panic.The ASX is up and we're being safely guided through turbulent waters by a fragrant suppository with a Rhodes scholarship.

Rubbish,  more than one person "did just that" last week, and more than one person chose other methods last week.

 

Does everything have to come to a standstill or be censored because of this?  Or are we placing such importance on one person at the expense of all the others (a la Corby).

"...Speculation is rife that the series of deaths are connected to some kind of looming financial crisis or a huge legal case targeting bankers for malfeasance, although no definite link has been established."
rife?,  looming financial crisis?,  huge legal case, bankers/malfeasance?.

This part actually makes sense: "no definite link has been established" so let's speculate instead, I do though like the resurrected:-

The rumors about a financial disaster being orchestrated to help the argument for a one world government
The rumors of agenda21

They were pretty dusty, but even dusted off  remain wonderful conspiracy nonsense TH.

"I think the event that indicated a looming financial crisis in Australia was on September the 7th (?) 2013."

Depends on how long looming is (in the eye of the myopic beholder perhaps?)  However the ASX 200 has passed judgement as it is 5400   up from 5080 in September and it has lifted 4.3 per cent over the month of February.

Actually B1G your quote (give a man a bank and he can rob the world) is only really applicable  when a bank is run by a government (State Banks of Victoria and South Australia?) because whilst I appreciate many  do not realise/understand that our trading banks are actually owned by shareholders,  (mums and dads), superfunds etc, a lot do not know what return on equity is, just that it is money and they want some of it..

Part of the reason banks attract so much attention, for example compared to the very profitable mining sector, is that their business is mainly domestic. If they are making too much profit, it must be because they are charging us too much. There is very little evidence of this: Australian banks have interest margins which are about average by international standards.

I suppose we  (I?) could put ou/my money under the mattress, but what about the lurking red to be found  under the bed?  Now that is your real field of expertise B1G.

some people may stop everything when a c grade minor celebrity decides to check out, not even knowing who the woman actually was makes it quite low on my list of priorities . the carbon tax will be re introduced when abbotts gone so whats the point anyway.
