Operation Robin Hood...

Cliff notes, Team Poison and Anonymous have teamed up and are going to start (or it sounRAB like they have already started) stealing credit card nurabers from the big banks, and donating the money they steal to charities (or in their worRAB, the 99%). Then the banks will have to refund the money to the customer, thus the banks loosing and the customer and the 99%'s winning...

^Agreed, I was thinking the same thing. They're also screwing a lot of charities. Legally they're stealing and any money traced back to them that was given to charities (who accepted it) will discredit the charity and possibly lose their tax excemption status.

And what exactly would this accomplish on a large scale basis? Put the banks into the red even more than currently? However righteous they may think it is, there's so many things wrong with this concept.
 
horrible idea:
- on a small scale this screws the cardholders - pretty everyone but the bottom 5 to 10%. charities will not benefit from this.
- on a large scale this screws the 99.9% much much more than the 0.1%. massive money missing and getting recuperated out of thin air = even MORE INFLATION - b/c that's really going to help the 99.9% whose working lives revolve around working for a salary/wage. top 0.1% won't be affected much b/c they already have other means of resources, power, and survival when the dollar tanks.

helping people in concept = good, poor execution = worse than doing nothing.

"road to hell is paved with good intentions" or something like that? or "when not thought out, you end up hurting the ones you're trying to help."

now if we didn't have fiat currency and something like this happened... well... that could have some very big repercussions. good and bad.
 
I don't agree with these hackers..... but you asked>>>

The FeRAB are the worlRAB worst loan sharks!

"I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing powers should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."
Thomas Jefferson
 
I suppose it's technically not stealing but when the banks have power over the fed to keep keep 7.7trillion in loans a secret from the treasury, congress, and public? Makes you wonder... it's more than concerning; and how come none of the "fiscally responsible" boasting presidential candidates want to touch this one? It kills me. I certainly think it could be interpreted as fraud, how can you defend this? I'd like to see an investigation but most likely never will.

I like how Stewart breaks it down here:
