Press Dear media For a short week, the international media relays the call to bankrun we launched on Facebook to invite all those who wish to follow us to withdraw their money their accounts on 7 December. Since the publication of our call, citizens mobilize to translate the text in their language, to recreate the event in their country, to promote our initiative by all possible means and invite their contacts to do the same. Call our meeting a success that we dared hope. We welcome and thanks to the personal investment of all those who, like us, want to enjoy a healthy banking system, equitable, affordable and accountable, we hope that over the weeks we can convince enough people to the world to be finally agreed by our respective governments. We
detail as we do speak on behalf of any political party or from any organization or religion. Our share is a citizen who dissents from any hate or plot that could be made on behalf of our movement by others during their interventions on areas of discussion which is beyond our control. Our names are those of our words. We are not trying to harm anyone in particular. It's a corrupt system, criminal and deadly that we decided to oppose the extent of our ability, our determinations and compliance with the law. Why have we launched this action? First, we wanted to raise public awareness on the functioning of the monetary system. The overwhelming majority of holders of a bank account, a savings account or even a pension plan, ignores the way money is created or that banks make money assigned to them. They know nothing of the principle of debt and money they do not know the reality behind words like "asset bubbles", "Treasury bills", "Hedge Funds" or "securitization". They know more than the media in general make little effort to inform in an objective, transparent and accessible to all. All that the public really knows is that most major financial crimes and insider trading remain mostly unpunished and they are the first to pay the consequences.
Not only we regret that many questions posed by ordinary citizens on the economic situation remain without clear answers in your columns, but we also regret your lack of zeal in denouncing the measures that have allowed the global economic situation gets to the point where it is today: a situation that has put our heads of states and governments to their knees before the agency notations, trembling with fear at the idea that our notes are deteriorating. Our politicians can both meet the interests of financial markets and those of citizens. Also, it is time to remind them in whose service they were elected. Since strikes and demonstrations are no longer useful for anything, because whatever we do, we are not heard, and since whatever they do, we are not consulted, we decided to hit the system in its most vital organ - the banking system.
Are we aware of the economic consequences that would result from the success of our action?
We are especially aware of the consequences of deregulated global financial system and uncontrollable have on our jobs, our health, our education, our pensions, our industries, our environment, our future, our dignity, the dignity of citizens of countries that this system controlled by debts they can never repay to better appropriate their resources. It is the fate that awaits people if we Westerners do not take ourselves in hand. We are aware of the role this system plays in the prosperity of industrial empires whose interests depend on armed conflict, disease, food shortages and poverty prevailing in the country who provide labor and natural resources at trifling cost. We are aware that that system will never have anything to gain from a world of peace and prosperity and that continuing to turn our hard earned money honestly and this sick system, we realize accomplices of its flights, for its crimes, its wars and misery it generates.

What do we want?
We, citizens of 21
th century, the heirs of generations who have sacrificed so that we are citizens and may live free and dignified, we demand the creation of a CITIZENS BANK, serving citizens, a bank that would put our money safe from speculative fever, free of all financial bubbles sentenced to explode one day, free of operations that transform our loans assets and use our debt to buy other assets.
We want banks that lend only wealth they have. (1) Banks that help small and medium enterprises to relocate jobs, bank lending to zero. (2) banks that support projects that benefit citizens rather than "market" where banks make money while having our conscience. Banks that we will not have to be wary. Banks whose success will spell the end of merchants of death, disease and slavery. On the ruins of the old system, we want to build a banking system that will sacrifice more human dignity on the altar of profit. We
citizens finally awakened by poverty and despair afflicting the most vulnerable among us - pensioners, welfare recipients or working poor - and threatening that we are still middle class, entrepreneurs and independent as they like milking cows, we want to be simply canceled public debts generated by this sick system which we no longer want. We do not want our taxes, our efforts, our resources continue to feed this bottomless pit. We want to regain the power to coin money and free ourselves from the guidelines imposed on us by the European Union, which was built against the consent of the majority of people consulted by referendum, not to mention those whose country of origin does no organized popular consultation.

(1) This has been the success of Triodos Bank, which offers early alternative interesting, but the size, date, does not yet allow access to all the advantages of an account sight and a number of agencies sufficient to accommodate all disappointed in the system. http://www.triodos.be/fr/particuliers/ (2) What the Islamic banks to successfully practice by refusing to wear for religious reasons, we can do for civic reasons.
We draw your attention to the fact that even if are able to relocate our jobs, advanced technologies and machines have replaced human labor in a growing number of areas. They can produce more, faster, cheaper, and for these reasons, they fear those who wonder how they earn their living tomorrow. This is unfortunate because the technology since the invention of the wheel, is intended to improve the living conditions of man. If progress was made in the service of citizens rather than serve the market, we could make a quantum leap in technology development today paralyzed by special interest groups who are the primary beneficiaries of this system.
We already have the knowledge to free humanity of its needs in fossil and nuclear energy and to produce and deliver drinking water throughout the planet at a lower cost to produce fruits and vegetables, ice to the desert. Poverty exists on our planet that the lack of political will of countries, subject to market forces. Pollution and waste of resources that are the sad consequences of this obsolete system which we must put an end to emergency. We, the inheritors of chaos, we have a world to rebuild. A world where work is no longer seen as a control, and lack of work as a drama, because we have been able to rethink how the man of tomorrow will ensure its survival, his education, welfare and old age. We invite all those who want to follow us on this path - including you, dear journalists - to overcome their fears of the unknown and to lay the foundation stone for the construction of the system that will replace it and who, with or without we will eventually collapse, when we have taken everything. We prefer not to wait until we have come, where even worse, to save the economy, war is declared over. We thank the footballer Eric Cantona for having instilled the idea. We have taken literally. The die is cast. Time will tell whether we were right.
