Bank of America branch managers just received a message, page 1
My car is financed through BofA. Maybe if they arent open, i can delay my payment!!
How many times do you have to be burned by a source before you stop reading them?
For example, I will never take anything from Drudge seriously nor anything from Debka and a couple of others. I've caught them in lies way too often to give a crap about what they have to say anymore.
A reliable source is one that tells you facts without making them up, having to print retractions and don't constantly get contradicted by other sources.
If there is no "week long bank holiday" then I would hope you stop trusting these sources. Or are you just going to make up some excuse as to why they were wrong and go on believing them?

Crakeur with all due respect sir, what represents a reliable source? Considering the fact that mainstream is labeled brainwashing garbage and alternative news is questionable, what do you deem as reliable? Again I am not trying to justify the sources I quoted as the best but considering the economic conditions we are in is there not a little bit of a possibility?
Exactly. I remember not to long ago when the National Enquirer broke the story on John Edwards and his affair everyone is like oh its just the enquirer nothing to see here....well we see it to be true now dont we? Or how about this whole economic mess. The government tells us all is well up until a week again and that anything else is conspiracy......well we know how that turned out also. I dont take any source forgranted.
Some people may say ATS isnt a reliable source for anything just a bunch of conspiracy nuts even though we all know we have called a lot of crap.

I urge everyone (please, no disrespect intended for the OP) to make sure when they see threads like this to follow the link to the source, and then find out who or what THEIR source was.
In this case there may as well have been no source, and I agree with the poster above who said whoever is creating this story (out of thin air) should face consequences... like yelling 'fire' in a crowded theater, all it does is foster and create fear.
There's plenty to be concerned about without this disinformation clogging the net.
((The conspiracy theorist in me suspects the rumor is probably from the US Fed itself; as a little extra nudge to ensure that all those millions of people who magically began to support the bill don't change their minds...))
However I will still say all that paper money is worthless..
BOA made profits from 9-11..
And yes I bank with them.. which I shouldnt.. I dont keep much money in there anyway..
If they would go out like this, I would overdraft them so hard!! That atleast I would make a little something from this, and not have to pay them back.. ITs been a long time since I went on a shopping spree on the fat cats of this world.
I didn't mean to feed into anything. To be honest, I am relatively new still and I don't know the sources like most of the senior members do.. Sorry if I ruffled anyones feathers
No apologies necessary. I like to think that we are here, as a community, to help one another in a world where the truth is being diluted by so much half-truths, outright lies, and misinformation, we need every thinking mind to help!
I applaud the finder of this piece, because, although it is likely false, it shows someone is going to the trouble of making it up and spreading it around. Too bad Drudge doesn't really get into the whole, "Is this true?" angle. Around here we tend to care about trivialities like that.
