BB&T, Wachovia and Bank of America Down In Charlotte, NC.

All branches of Bank of America, BB&T and Wachovia are closed for withdrawals in Charlotte. You cannot access your account or use your ATM. I spoke to a manager and they told me it was computer problem. I asked her "at all three banks?". She said, "Yes".

peace,
julie

Hey i live in statesville, nc and my father was talking to a banker buddy who had told him to take his money out of the bank because something may happen next week, anyway he calls me on friday and tells me to take cash out. I go to BBT wait in line, i get to the teller she says they can take deposits, but if you want to withdrawl cash it has to be under 100 dollars (its like there putting all our money on hold) so I ask why she says the computers are down system wide then i said so if i wanted to close my account and take my money out that couldnt be done and she replies Yes thats right.
so that was my experience
i did in fact buy a couple of things at the grocery store and got cash back!

Now that is a concern, maybe stocking up more now would be the way to go.

[munit]

Yes i think so
that day was very odd indeed!!

[gwangsun]

Wow that is pretty crazy, but I just finished watching V for Vendetta and right now I'm kinda amped, I say bring it on.

Yea I don't get paid till Wednesday, I hope nothing happens before then.

I saw it last night for the first time. Loved it. No wonder this movie crashed at the box office. People do not like to think.

Evey Hammond: Oh. Right.
V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona.

V: Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition.

V: The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
[giggles]
V: Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V.

Evey Hammond: Are you like a crazy person?
V: I am quite sure they will say so. But to whom, might I ask, am I speaking with?
Evey Hammond: I'm Evey.
V: Evey? E-V. Of course you are.
Evey Hammond: What does that mean?
V: It means that I, like God, do not play with dice and I don't believe in coincidences.

btw, pay attention to the START of that movie... The Situation in the USA that is depicted... ;-)

TranceAm.... I haven't seen the movie.

What is the situation in the USA at the start of the movie?

Lewis Prothero:
So I read that the former United States is so desperate for medical supplies that they have allegedly sent several containers filled with wheat and tobacco. A gesture, they said, of good will. You wanna know what I think? Well, you're listening to my show, so I will assume you do... I think it's high time we let the colonies know what we really think of them. I think its payback time for a little tea party they threw for us a few hundred years ago. I say we go down to those docks tonight and dump that **** where everything from the Ulcered Sphincter of Ass-erica belongs! Who's with me? Who's bloody with me?
[audience applauds]
Lewis Prothero:
Did you like that? USA... Ulcered Sphincter of Ass-erica, I mean what else can you say? Here was a country that had everything, absolutely everything. And now, 20 years later, is what? The world's biggest leper colony. Why? Godlessness. Let me say that again... Godlessness. It wasn't the war they started. It wasn't the plague they created. It was Judgement. No one escapes their past. No one escapes Judgement. You think he's not up there? You think he's not watching over this country? How else can you explain it? He tested us, but we came through. We did what we had to do. Islington. Enfield. I was there, I saw it all. Immigrants, Muslims, homosexuals, terrorists. Disease-ridden degenerates. They had to go. Strength through unity. Unity through faith. I'm a God-fearing Englishman and I'm goddamn proud of it!

This is not all, there is an spoken intro at the beginning of the movie depicting the situation in the USA, (I have loaned my copy to my neighbour, otherwise I could look it up for you.)

Well eh, :-) Lewis Prothero character is a combination of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, So you can put the "Leper" and "God" part into the basket labbeled agiprop.. But the USA has collapsed in the scenario..

[pineal-pilot-in merkabah]

my money was out of my mums account 2 months ago.. got half left.. GO TIME!! who cares about banks.. withdraw your cash and crash em.. or they crash em and we have no money you choose

The children are why I bought a ton of pop-tarts, halloween candy, milk (Horizon Organic), spaghettios, etc. I'm going to the bank tomorrow and will be withdrawing my money before everyone catches on. I will then take that money and stock up on things I can use in service to others. This is what I agreed to do by returning during this time. We can't change what's coming. It's a cycle. An event that comes around once every 26,000 years. That's big. We know about this event which, right now, is more than 95% (I'm guessing) of the rest of the world. Listen to your heart. It will not let you down. Do what feels right to you.

Namaste,
julie

I wa in Charlotte, Thursday to Sunday has no problems at all using my BofA card. My sister lives in Charlotte had no problems and she is with BofA. Also my best friend is with Wachovia and lives in Charlotte he said he had no problems.

[deb003]

I agree Merlin.

Wolf, I feel the same way about the children.
The thing that helps me is singing made up songs with my drum and praying for the children and sending love to them and as much good intention as I can. I feel so sad and vulnerable thinking of children suffering so it helps me allot when I can send them love in some kind of way.
Maybe if things get out of hand, we will be able to bring some comfort to people if they feel lost and scared, including the little ones.

My goodness! Thank you for reminding me about "V".
I saw it a while ago while I was still sleeping.
Now that I am awake. it's a total new experience and I am amazed!!!

[Wetpicketfence]

I know someone at wakovia in raleigh, and said no problems there, and did not know anything about other problems at other banks, but did say there was protesters outside of here main branch in downtown Raleigh, about the bailout.

[deb003]

I live in Florida and my mom told me her co-worker's BOA debit card didn't work at a store this week even though he had funds and never has a problem before.

Eventhough I live at one of the most far away places from the US I have started planting vegetables now. If you haven't got a garden, maybe a balcony or something put the vegetables in pots give that a go. I am just trying although not a great gardener. Cherry tomatoes, tomatoes, brocolli I have found pretty easy to grow, potatoes are easy to grow but you sort of need a backyard.

Makes for a good reason to always have some cash on hand. Personally I feel naked without some cash always available.

[Humble Janitor]

All the more reason to pull out any cash you have in your bank account.

Haven't seen problems like this around here but it's enough to make me want to pull out the rest of my money.
