Germany Preparing For Emergency Cash Deliveries, Bank Runs And "Aggressive Discontent" Ahead Of Winter Power Cuts

[link to www.zerohedge.com (secure)]


While Europe has been keeping a generally optimistic facade ahead of the coming cold winter, signaling that it has more than enough gas in storage to make up for loss of Russian supply even in a "coldest-case" scenario, behind the scenes Europe's largest economy is quietly preparing for a worst case scenario which include angry mobs and bankruns should blackouts prevent the population from accessing cash.

As R00ters reports citing four sources, German authorities have stepped up preparations for emergency cash deliveries in case of a blackout (or rather blackouts) to keep the economy running, as the nation braces for possible power cuts arising from the war in Ukraine. The plans include the Bundesbank hoarding extra billions to cope with a surge in demand, as well as "possible limits on withdrawals", one of the people said. And if you think crypto investors are angry when they can't access their digital tokens in a bankrupt exchange, just wait until you see a German whose cash has just been locked out.

Officials and banks are looking not only at origination (i.e., money-printing) but also at distribution, discussing for example priority fuel access for cash transporters, according to other sources commenting on preparations that accelerated in recent weeks after Russia throttled gas supplies.


The planning discussions involve the central bank, its financial market regulator BaFin, and multiple financial industry associations, said the Reuters sources most of whom spoke on condition of anonymity about plans that are private and in flux.

Although German authorities have publicly played down the likelihood of a blackout and bank runs - for obvious reasons - the discussions show both how seriously they take the threat and how they struggle to prepare for potential crippling power outages caused by soaring energy costs or even sabotage. They also underscore the widening ramifications of the Ukraine war for Germany, which has for decades relied on affordable Russian energy and now faces double-digit inflation and a threat of disruption from fuel and energy shortages.

the people I am in contact with in Germany are MUM on this topic

ANY SENSIBLE government would prepare contingencies such as this. It really is basic level stuff.

Why the hysterical reporting??

as long as we dont have a super cold winter

they will make it. the US has supplied them with enough gas to get through the winter.

It will be 7 times the price but they will make it

Cool, I have my wheelbarrow ready!

Fill 'er up!

something else is happening

its not about War/Gas/Power or money

Seems like big false flag or something

make fake Nuke explosion somewhere


they will blame EMP for mass shutdown of all devices


in that time A.I platform could be implemented on all electric devices

MUM?

Agreed. Something is afoot. At this stage, full alien invasion can’t be ruled out. It would explain the ‘War in Ukraine’ which is actually a battle against an alien base.

‘Special military operation’

How will an AI platform be implemented on all electric devices if an EMP attack just fried all the devices?

why did all this happen again?

because the NWO wanted control over that portal in Ukraine?

I would imagine freezing would make people angry.

Most important devices got backup power

all you need to do is to shutdown all traffic and you can update your server/firmaware
