Re: BREAKING- Nationwide Cash Failure? US Direct Express
"But an off-and-on outage in the system between 1 a.m. and 2:30 a.m. meant that some beneficiaries using their debit cards then could not access their funds if the system was out at that time, he said." This makes no sense, if it was an off and on outage for an hour and a half, ALL the cards should've been affected since it was still system-wide failure. I agree that it was a test for "targeting" accounts- even if it was a random specific target test. They did the same thing a few months back with the AFDC benefits. And I think that the bigger picture will be to "set up the system" to be "target specific" and then do what they did in Cyprus. And of course they will shut down all the federal benefit checks eventually, but I think the specific targets will be those with over 100,000. But of course, they can't play with those accounts yet, so there using all the poor folks cards and accounts to set up the program for target accounts nation-wide. For example, maybe the program was designed for any recipient with 525.00 or over on the "card" couldn't access his account. I don't know- I'm just throwing that out there.

It looks like it may slowly be going "Mainstream" ???

Supplemental Security Income payments to adults and children with disabilities were temporarily unavailable during an intermittent outage in the early-morning hours Monday, the U.S. Treasury Department's Bureau of Fiscal Service said Monday.

i thought the problem was just with US Direct Express accounts.

So what about the people that donot have Direct Deposite and still get their checks by mail?- are any of those people saying they didnot get their check?

I sounds, therefore, that itis the BANKS that are defaulting, and everyone should stop Direct Deposit as soon as possible.

if itis the banks, everyone has been praying for this

It means The House of Rothschild (aka The Federal Reserve Bank) has done gone under, and weare the ones that threw them under the bus.

This is like the bank website outages we've experienced recently.

And for what it's worth, "V" on H and H said this would keep happening, and that it's not an accident or "computer problems".

Bad feelings about this...

my security code for calling to get status disappeared than re-appeared....the "big" bank could not explain it. my card would not work / be declined when i had money in the acct - this is still on-going now every now and then. i am working toward cash only, which is why thankfully i've not been stuck without a means to pay. still have to pay rent and bills with checks though.

HACKING FROM CHINA?! HOW LONG COULD A TEMPORARY OUTAGE LAST? WILL THE SYSTEM CLOG WHEN THE OUTAGE IS "SOLVED"? HOW MANY OTHER GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED/INFECTED? WILL THE PEOPLE HAVE FOOD ON THE FORTH OF JULY? IS THIS THE FIRST NOTICEABLE DOMINO OR IS THIS RELATED TO THE CHINA BANKING RUMORS? THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS THREAD.

Re: BREAKING- Nationwide Cash Failure? US Direct Express
Early last week, Canada's largest bank (Royal Bank of Canada [RBC]) suffered a day-long 'freeze' on deposits made through INTERAC, which is an online money transfer system done through emails. People could send money, but the recipient couldn't process the payment. The problem started early in the morning and lasted all day until around 8 p.m. The reason for the 'freeze' was explained away as 'an issue' on the RBC website. No other explanation was offered.

During that more than 13-hour period, billions of dollars would have been 'frozen' (held) in the bank's coffers. Someone who understands the banking system may have an explanation as to why this 'held' money would benefit the bank. In any case, this appears to be a growing trend -- withholding people's money without notice and without a reasonable explanation.

Tell that to the poster who said their 92 yr old mother cannot

unable to get her money to pay her rent, utilities, etc.

Are you calling our mothers parasites? I cannot speak for the

of a century. I have no clue how much she was required to
pay into Social Security but I bet it was a hell of a lot
more than she'll ever get back in her retirement.

Well, since he is on ssi, I suppose he doesn't have the minimum amount of money in his account to get a free one. And it is a very small bank, only 2 or 3 locations. He said a couple years ago, Soc. Sec. stopped allowing checks to be sent in the mail and it became required it be sent electronically. So he got a checking account.

This is what Illinois is doing with child support. There have been many "glitches" in their "system" to send out checks lately.

IL IRS is pulling similar shenanigans with their paperwork.

I'm on the fence over whether or not these are true glitches caused by tons of staffing/budget cuts to fund patronage or test "outages".

I can't speak for the other poster, but yes they are all parasites. All these programs are little more than wealth redistribution, plain and simple. They may have paid in a small percentage to the 'programs' but they were not solvent from day one. These programs have always about wealth redistribution from those that have worked and earned money and our children to those that think they need our money -- all done for political gain.

You might not like the truth, but there it is. Parasites.
