Number of USA bank failures are at a very low level. 50% of the total assets by $ for 2023 was Silicon Valley Bank, which isn't a retail bank anyway and has been teetering for a while and expected to fail.

In any case, the businesses of all 5 banks that failed in 2023 were quickly and efficiently transferred to new financial institutions by the FDIC.

Seems SHTF day for THEM is today
Clinton & Co being exposed world wide

Interesting date to do it
3 year delta from Jan 6

Almost as if there was a plan
And it seems to be working

Oh.
And today I got reinstated on PF

Actual P Forum
AND
PF FB forums

Still banned on the gay woke P Forum inhabited by complete “useful idiots”. Good.

It’s FINALLY happening

A great day for us

2024 could be great after all.

Nobody seemed to care TBH. They lost credibility when they tried to throw mud at Stephen Hawking FFS. Hard to take any claims seriously.
