I still stand by my original assessment...media scapegoating would make the bank-runners out to be the only culprits (because it's convenient), and I really do think that most people are stupid enough to completely miss the point about the system's inherent insolvency. All a talking head would have to do is say that such-and-such collapse would never have happened if not for the people who planned a bank run...and yes, in their outrage, people would actually believe them. Remember, these are the same people who mindlessly parroted the notion that Osama attacked the US and convinced a bunch of young guys to martyr themselves simply because they "hate our freedoms."I disagree. The good people who understand what is going on are already on board with us. The bad people who understand what is going on are the cause of our economic troubles. The 80% of the population that doesn't "get it" will get even more pissed at "the government" when their financial situation becomes much worse. They will never be able to rub their neurons together to figure out that a group like us could ever accomplish that. If they ever did, they would have to see the inherent problems with a system that could allow for something like that to happen. Thankfully, we have public school and college "economics" courses to make sure that no one will ever know enough to place the blame on us.
This is a REALLY bad idea, and if we ever did it - which I'm confident most won't - it would dramatically set us back in terms of public opinion, just when people were finally beginning to open their eyes.
If the monetary system is forced down on our terms instead of theirs, there is a better chance that a sound money system will grow up out of the rubble. If "They" are allowed to destroy things according to their plan, the chances of honest money replacing the Federal Reserve Note are very slim.
We must be very careful because both our goal of honest money and their goal of a global ponzi scheme both require the collapse of our economic system. We do not want our efforts to help "Them".
Bank collapses cause deflation. The dollar collapse will ultimately be caused by the inflation the government and fed are pumping into the economy, which will eventually spread around (and if banks don't lend, Bernanke will just hop in his helicopter). Of course, it's possible the dollar will survive this entire economic crisis and the incessant "stimulus" packages...and I actually imagine it will, considering the way foreign currencies are performing even poorer in comparison and foreign countries are ironically seeking temporary safe haven in the reserve currency. If it does survive the next couple years, the dollar will instead crash later on, probably due to a combination of inflation created to pay off the national debt (and entitlements like Social Security) and international exporters finally deciding they've had enough of the inflation and moving out of dollars.
In any case: If "their" plan is to wait for a dollar collapse to create a new currency, causing a bank run doesn't seem very likely to change their timetable. If "their" plan is to introduce a currency before a dollar collapse - i.e. at any conceivable time - then causing a bank run will be even less likely to screw up "their" timetable. Besides, what makes you think "they" don't hope we do something stupid like this? I asked before who the moron was that thought of it...because I'm pretty sure it wasn't anyone with any kind of community standing.

In any case, the longer it takes before the dollar crashes and a new currency is introduced, the longer we have to affect public opinion...and that's a good thing. We're finally making some inroads now, and that's something I don't think anyone in the establishment ever expected in a million years. People are finally starting to listen to us...let's not squander the opportunity.
