It looses credibility when it mentions "confiscation of food and water." From a general logistics point of view, once the food is in the hands of individuals its a net loss to try to reaccumulate and store for future use. In addition, food in people's houses causes them to behave, stay home, and be quiet. Undoing that causes more work, again a net loss.
What you COULD see is commandeering of warehouses and wholesale stocks. Those are still in usable, valuable condition, so would be worth holding.
Important to note the difference if that is what is coming down the pipe.
Personally... I think its a bunch of overly paranoid poo.
"run on the bank" paranoia means something serious when the commodity that people want out is limited and valuable. It means something entirely different when the teller who just ran out of this commodity replies to your angry demand (figuratively), "wait here just a sec, let me go print some more up for yall".

Just remember:
Lie flat, face down
Cover your eyes with your hands (palms up, apply moderate pressure)
Use the blades of your hands to pinch your nose slightly and breath slowly through your teeth
And you should be good. Always remember "ass to the blast," and don't even think about moving or peeking until after the second shockwave (which should be in the opposite direction, back towards the the epicenter).
Good luck.

Breath into a paper bag, go back to your doctor and ask for a higher dose of Zyprexa. Your schizoaffective personailty disorder is acting up.
On the other hand, plant a garden and get out of debt. Longstanding rules for any hard time.

I don't think it takes the bible to tell us that, these days, nowhere's safe for your money apart from the mattress. The fall out from that dire state of affairs? Who knows what the consequences will.
However, I'm less inclined to give the ruling elite credit for any decisive action let alone conspiratorial stuff. I mean, if these dwangs had the stupidity to create a boom based on selling mortgages to the unemployed....I mean, c'mon guys. Is that stupid or is that STUPID. Why the fcuk do we let these sweet talking card sharks into management and government? Can't we like set a basic IQ test for these fuckwits before letting them near our hard earned savings?

Not safe under your mattress either. Bernake decides to crank up the helicopter again, and he can steal it from under your mattress with inflation pretty quickly.

It goes way beyond the sub-prime mess. They could bail that out with 50 billion.

I highly recommend keeping some cash at home. Two to three months worth. If the guy is wrong then just put it back in the bank a few months down the road. Nobody is saying you should buy or commit to something.
Plus if people can't get cash you might have some real purchasing power.

This is from Jim Willie, a very good contributor to Financialsense.com
http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/edito ... /1002.html
Quote: This from a friend in Atlanta with strong banking connections: “Reliable word that Bank of America branch managers just received a letter or memo from the USFed instructing them to perhaps be ready for a one-week universal shut-down of the banking system, including access to checking accounts, savings accounts and credit cards. Reliable word has it that BofA bank branches received a shipment of signs last week, reading “WE'RE SORRY, BUT DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL, WE CANNOT BE OPEN AT THIS TIME.”

Agreed. But you have to admit that these "experts' have messed up big time with their slicey and dicey securitising of bad loans, trading insurance policies for bad loans (lol, now thats one stupid scam), creating a false boom on the backs of mortgages that had sell by dates. That is so dumb. How can these guys stand there with a straight face and do an Oliver on us!
