(LA Times) 26 September 2012 — U.S. Bancorp is the next major financial institution supposed to be targeted by a hacking group that has disrupted banks’ online operations over the last two weeks.

U.S. Bancorp is aware of the hacking group’s stated plans to attack its website Wednesday, following its attack on Wells Fargo’s online and mobile banking operations Tuesday, spokesman Tom Joyce said.

“We’re working very closely with law enforcement authorities on the issue,” said Joyce, who declined to elaborate.

Recent cyber attacks have hit Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. The so-called denial of service attacks involve bombarding the bank’s servers, causing them to slow down or seize up.

Minneapolis-based U.S. Bancorp is the eighth-largest bank holding company by assets, according to Federal Reserve data. The hacking group says PNC Financial Services will be its target Thursday.
~~~~~NNNNN~~~~~

Note that BoA, JP Morgan, and many other financial companies are being attacked, as well.  This isn’t a grudge against a single bank – it is a broad-spectrum attack against the banking system itself, and it is escalating at a stunning pace.

The Scenario is coming, folks.  Get your money out now.  Stock your pantry and your ammo box for the days which are coming, for they are not afar off.  The enemy has conspired, and now we must face the test of that moment.

By NBC News staff — Updated at 7:59 a.m. ET: An anti-Islam film that sparked violent protests in many countries had “nothing to do with” a deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi earlier this month, Libya’s president told NBC News.

In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Ann Curry, President Mohamed Magarief discounted claims that the attack was in response to a movie produced in California and available on YouTube. He noted that the assault happened on Sept. 11 and that the video had been available for months before that.

“Reaction should have been, if it was genuine, should have been six months earlier. So it was postponed until the 11th of September,” he said. “They chose this date, 11th of September to carry a certain message.”

The attack took the lives of Ambassador Chris Stevens, as well as information management officer Sean Smith and security personnel Tyrone Woods and Glen Doherty.

US Ambassador Chris Stevens was ‘courageous,’ Obama says

Magarief told Curry that based on the accuracy of the assault, he believes the attackers must have had training and experience using the weapons.  “It’s a pre-planned act of terrorism,” he said, adding that the anti-Islam film had “nothing to do with this attack.”

Granted, the story below is not new news – but what we need to begin putting into perspective is what the greater implications are.  I have been stating for over a year that at some point, there will come an avalanche of municipal defaults… well, it seems reasonable to say that we are on the cusp of that event, right now, and the stability of our nation may well hang in the balance – not of whether we can avert the defaults, as they are a foregone result; but of how our federal government will respond as cities big and small descend into bankruptcy and chaos.

(Zerohedge)  August 10th, 2012 — San Bernadino – the latest and greatest city to file for municipal bankruptcy (after a $46 million shortfall in its budget was irreconcilable). The reason it’s a big deal – unfortunately the state’s retirement fund – CalPERS – is the city’s largest creditor by far with a wonderful $143.3 million exposure. This is more than half the entire debt load of $281.4 million of the Top 20 creditors alone!

“So what?”, you say, it is subtle justice that the corrupt and bloated governmental structure in California has now officially begun to gorge on it’s own carbuncle.  While I agree that there are just deserts due, and that the excoriation of California’s ‘Public Unions’ is obscenely over due; but I am forced to warn everyone that this is the perfect excuse for a grand-mal bailout from our beloved Emir d’America, Obama Bin Lyin’, and that cities and counties from every state in the nation will soon be jockeying fo a place in the line to claim their Obama-Bux – that is when the just deserts will become a food fight, and we will all pay for the mess, as is mandatory in any communist system.

Thus, we will have our own PIIGS to deal with in short order.  Break open the vault full of “relief dollars”, and send in the FEMA trucks…  Just in time for the election.  Yes, FEMA trucks…and the spectre of martial law which is their perpetual shadow, may well be the Obama administration’s natural reaction as cities fail and chaos consumes the remnants of order.  After all, we must “never let a perfectly good crisis go to waste.”  Especially when you’ve planned and worked for so long to create the crisis in the first place.

And for you snarky ones in the audience; before you speak too ill of me, I would suggest that you take a look at Camden, NJ, who today announced that they are disbanding their police force due to lack of budgetary capacity, and a police union which refuses to renegotiate their contract, even in consideration of their employer’s insolvency…

If we see a city such as Camden declared a “disaster” and given “aid” by the administration, I will be very, very concerned.
