RBS/NatWest ‘Glitch’ Spreads to France: Banque Postale & Societe Générale Now Affected

June 28, 2012 By 14 Comments

RBS/NatWest’s total system failure/glitch is now in its 10th day with no access to funds for nearly 20 million in Ireland.

No word yet on whether they are related, but the NatWest system ‘glitch’ appears to have spread to France, as both Bankque Postale and Soc Gen are reporting system issues, and Soc Gen posted a notice today that the bank is closed due to a ‘systems issue’.

    Is this how they are keeping the money in the shadow banking system?  Would not want that system to fail before JPM has a chance to steal all of your money.

    Doc, I think you got the figure wrong.  I don’t believe there’s quite 20 million in Ireland.  Otherwise, bang up job!

    I have a funny feeling that day is coming sooner than ANY of us would like, sb.  These banksters have played with fire for a LOOOONG time, and I think it’s rapidly getting out of even THIER control.  they muddled by for years with most of us in the dark, and VERY few even understanding how these systems worked.  The Internet changed all that, along with guys like Ron Paul, Max Fisher, Celente, Nigel Farage, Peter Schiff and others who speak Truth to those who will listen.  Now too many people know that the game is ongoing, even if we’re not in positions to make the changes now, it’s happening.  Awareness is coming, and it’s a tide they simply can not stop.  They can’t force people to unlearn this, and it’s spreading like wildfire now through too many channels.

    There will always be apologists and useful idiots, but too many are waking up daily as more and more of the outright lies are becoming too obvious.  On some level, I pity those still in the system and either willing or forced to go along with the perpetuation of this injustice to humanity.  There will undoubtedly be innocents caught up in the eventual purge that will come, and I firmly belive that we will see folks jailed, and possibly facing death penalties depending on  the crime and the country, when it all eventually comes down.  Even the most horrific tyrants eventually fall, so those pursuing the path of fiat currency (always fails) + empire (always falls) + tyranny (always falls) are doomed to fail.  With the speed at which the world works now, it’s going to go too fast for them to even use all of those controls they’re attemping to put in place via law.  This isn’t going to be bank runs that take days or weeks to develop, I firmly belive that as interconnected as this all is, and as online as everyone is now – when this goes, it’s going to run like crap thru a goose and it’s going to spread far and wide incredibly fast.  Hours vs days or weeks.  They won’t realize what hits them, and honestly – i doubt at this point if they’re even smart enough to recognize it when it starts, until it’s too late.

    I’m trying my darndest to be a glass-half-full type as much as I can in life.  Too many debbie downers and bad things in general if we dwell on ‘em.  I’m thankful for what I have and my family.  :)

    And I really do belive it’s going to go too fast for them.  A collapse in the EU isn’t going to take months to come across the Atlantic to the US and Canada, not as incestuous as the banks are these days.  It might be a slow topple, but once it starts, grab yer ass and run for your bug out location, cause it’s gonna go QUICK.  You get enough bank runs and failings starting in EU, it’s gonna tear apart the continent pretty quickly and then you’ll see the JPM / GS / BoA etc hit as it ripples across the Atlantic, probably overnight.  I truly think once it goes, we’re going to see it go down in days, not months.  TPTB aren’t going to have time to “mobilize” everything, and I believe there’s enough OathKeeper types, as well as just generally good people in thier hearts, that you’d even see military forces disobeying orders and fighting back against thier command if told to do unlawful things.  With everything so interconneted, it’s not like there’s going to be some magic military force waiting around in the wings somewhere unaffected, I think this is going to be a full system failure globally.  They’ve worked to hard to tie all togehter into an all-or-nothing, we sink or swim as one setup at this point.  There may be pockets that are left more or less untouched, but I think the’ve integrated too MUCH at this point for it NOT to have a global affect when it all blows up.

    The hacker work that appears to have stolen $2,000,000,000 from several banks using a very sophisticated mule account system . This problem is coupled with the growing systemic shutdowns, the racing bank runs and severe currency restrictions being imposed throughout the Euro zone, even to the point of eliminating the Schengen system, indicate that the entire banking system is on borrowed time  I give it a couple of months on the outside, maybe even less, before a fast moving financial collapse like Lehman times 20.

    Here is a slightly better translation than what Google gave you:

    Translation:

    Good day Mr Jovanovic, you have talked a lot about technical problems with regards to the banks. That is why I send you a photo which I took, towards the end of the morning, of my  Société Générale de Montbéliard (Doubs 25) branch, which announces the closure of the bank following a technical problem!

    I read the McAffee paper, and for one thing if your client (= your pc or phone) is safe it can’t happen to you. Use Linux/Unix and a safe browser.

    Furthermore, why do they insist on JavaScript/Ajax on the online banking sites. Sure, it updates the page faster because it only needs to update part of it, but wouldn’t it be much safer to not have to rely on JavaScript (great programming language but also so very loosely set up that it can be abused in many ways). Makes you wonder. Who are the hackers. Merely some Russian teens ready to be hired by the MIC or are they already right where one would expect them to be. At those very banks.

    Interesting, if read in comments of Keiser.  One commenter says Irish bank (Ulster) may have had something going on.
