this is truly frightening! the FDIC instead of protecting your $$$, has plans in place to 'rescue' the banking
industry in the next banking crisis by seizing your bank accounts jut like in Cyprus.
These plans are already developed and outlined. Just awaiting the go order.

Think Your Money is Safe? Think Again: The Confiscation Scheme Planned for US and UK Depositors
Confiscating the customer deposits in Cyprus banks was not a one-off. It could happen here.

Confiscating the customer deposits in Cyprus banks, it seems, was not
a one-off, desperate idea of a few Eurozone “troika” officials
scrambling to salvage their balance sheets. A joint paper by the US
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Bank of England dated
December 10, 2012, shows that these plans have been long in the making;
that they originated with the G20 Financial Stability Board in Basel,
Switzerland (discussed earlier
here); and that the result will be to deliver clear title to the banks of depositor funds......
The 15-page FDIC-BOE document is called “
Resolving Globally Active, Systemically Important, Financial Institutions.”
It begins by explaining that the 2008 banking crisis has made it clear
that some other way besides taxpayer bailouts is needed to maintain
“financial stability.” Evidently anticipating that the next financial
collapse will be on a grander scale than either the taxpayers or
Congress is willing to underwrite, the authors state:
An efficient path for returning the sound
operations of the G-SIFI to the private sector would be provided by
exchanging or converting a sufficient amount of the unsecured debt from
the original creditors of the failed company [meaning the depositors]
into equity [or stock]. In the U.S ., the new equity would become capital in one or more newly formed operating entities. In the U.K., the same approach could be used, or the equity could be used to recapitalize the failing financial company itself—thus, the highest layer of surviving bailed-in creditors would become the owners of the resolved firm. In either country , the new equity holders would take on the corresponding risk of being shareholders in a financial institution.
No exception is indicated for “insured deposits” in the U.S., meaning
those under $250,000, the deposits we thought were protected by FDIC
insurance. This can hardly be an oversight, since it is the FDIC that is
issuing the directive......
