Editor’s Note: Since the “red tsunami” didn’t materialize last November, we’ve seen central banks, states, and even entire nations quietly but rapidly buying up as much gold as they can. This is one of the reasons we’ve been strongly recommending Americans protect their life’s savings by working with an America First precious metals company. With Tucker Carlson, Glenn Beck, and other conservative show hosts now echoing the sentiment, it’s time to consider making the move. This article by Michael Snyder solidifies my view…
When it rains, it pours. On the exact same day that we witnessed the second largest bank failure in U.S. history, Wells Fargo experienced an unprecedented nationwide computer glitch that caused countless numbers of account holders to have “incorrect balances” and “missing transactions”.
This is yet another example that demonstrates why it is never wise to put all of your eggs into one basket. If you have all of your money in just one bank, you may wake up one day and find that you are suddenly not able to access any of it. For years I have been telling my readers to spread their assets around, because our banking system is far more vulnerable than most people realize.
In particular, I have never been a fan of Wells Fargo.
It has been embroiled in controversy for years, and now this massive “computer glitch” has happened…
A nationwide computer glitch at Wells Fargo left irate customers with incorrect balances and missing transactions Friday morning, sometimes dipping accounts into negative balances.
Funds remain available, even though some customers’ direct deposit transactions were not showing on their accounts, bank spokesman Josh Dunn said.
Dunn did not say how many customers were impacted by the problem and did not provide a time when customers can expect the issue to be resolved. But he said Wells Fargo was “working quickly on a resolution.” As of 4:30 p.m. Friday, Dunn could not say when the problem would be resolved.
The number one thing that you should want from any bank is security.
And right now Wells Fargo seems to be severely lacking in this area.
When users tried to log into their online banking apps, they received a very alarming message…
It’s not clear what might be causing the direct deposit issue or when it might be resolved, but Wells Fargo posted a message at the top of its online banking app saying: “If you see incorrect balances or missing transactions, this may be due to a technical issue and we apologize.”
Needless to say, a lot of account holders were not pleased.
Wells Fargo is further proof to keep cash on hand for use. In the blink of an eye, a computer glitch or whatever, your funds are inaccessible.

Of course those that have their money in Silicon Valley Bank are in much worse shape.
Don’t wait for a stock market crash, dedollarization, or CBDCs before securing your retirement with physical precious metals. Genesis Gold Group can help.
Rumors had caused a huge run on the bank in recent days, and regulators moved very quickly on Friday to permanently shut it down…
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) says it has seized control of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), confirming the lender was shut down by California regulators amid a run on the bank.
The FDIC said in a press release that SVB was closed on Friday by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which in turn appointed FDIC as the receiver of all insured deposits of the bank.
Those that have less than $250,000 deposited with SVB will be covered by FDIC insurance.
But as I detailed in an article that I posted earlier today, the vast majority of the funds deposited with SVB are not covered by FDIC insurance.
Some depositors are literally in danger of losing millions of dollars, and that should deeply alarm all of us.
Meanwhile, there are now rumors that another major bank on the west coast may be in jeopardy…
Concerns have quickly shifted to other banks that might be in trouble. First Republic, another West Coast-based bank whose shares are down more than 30% since Wednesday, tried to reassure investors. In an unusual statement midday Friday, it said tech companies only account for 4% of its deposits and that less than 15% of its total assets are invested in securities like bonds.
Is this the start of a new financial crisis?
Some experts that were interviewed by CNN claim that this is not the case…
Mike Mayo, senior bank analyst at Wells Fargo, said the crisis at SVB might be “an idiosyncratic situation.”
“This is night and day versus the global financial crisis from 15 years ago,” he told CNN’s Julia Chatterley Friday. Back then, he said, “banks were taking excessive risks, and people thought everything was fine. Now everyone’s concerned, but underneath the surface the banks are more resilient than they’ve been in a generation.”
Similarly, former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers told Bloomberg News Friday that he saw “no systemic risk” if the situation “is handled reasonably,” adding he had “every reason to think that it will be.”
You can believe them if you want.

But as I explained earlier today, SVB got into trouble because they were sitting on mountains of Treasury bills that rapidly lost value once the Fed started aggressively hiking interest rates.
Unfortunately, there are lots of other banks that are in the exact same position.
The financial day of reckoning that I have been warning about for a very long time appears to be rapidly approaching, and most Americans are not prepared for it at all.
If you have all of your money in a single institution, or if you have more than $250,000 in a single bank, I would encourage you to consider taking action while you still can.
Things are starting to get really crazy out there, and you don’t want to find yourself exposed when the music stops playing.

The Importance of Prayer: How a Christian Gold Company Stands Out by Defending Americans’ Retirement
I encourage you to follow me on social media on Facebook and Twitter, and any way that you can share these articles with others is definitely a great help. These are such troubled times, and people need hope. John 3:16 tells us about the hope that God has given us through Jesus Christ: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” If you have not already done so, I strongly urge you to invite Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior today.
Article cross-posted from End of the American Dream.
It’s becoming increasingly clear that fiat currencies across the globe, including the U.S. Dollar, are under attack. Paper money is losing its value, translating into insane inflation and less value in our life’s savings.
Genesis Gold Group believes physical precious metals are an amazing option for those seeking to move their wealth or retirement to higher ground. Whether Central Bank Digital Currencies replace current fiat currencies or not, precious metals are poised to retain or even increase in value. This is why central banks and mega-asset managers like BlackRock are moving much of their holdings to precious metals.
As a Christian company, Genesis Gold Group has maintained a perfect 5 out of 5 rating with the Better Business Bureau. Their faith-driven values allow them to help Americans protect their life’s savings without the gimmicks used by most precious metals companies. Reach out to them today to see how they can streamline the rollover or transfer of your current and previous retirement accounts.

Computer glitch, yeah right. Wells Fargo SUCKS. They hit me with an overdraft fee twice on the same day. I can’t believe the greedy ba$tards. They can go pound coconuts up their @$$, I hope they go under and die. Account closed.
Just imagine the mayhem it’s gonna be like after the rapture when the world will be forced into a cashless society and then some earthquake or lightning strike blows up the hard drives and the backups of everybody’s bank account.
Everybody’s broke. Oops!
Don’t deceive yourself.
Nothing you mentioned is guaranteed to wait until AFTER the rapture.
Times leading to the end will be very, VERY, bad for Christians as the evil that dominates the world seeks to eradicate us. The rapture is God saving us from HIS wrath poured out on the world.
Until then…it’s going to get a lot worse.
Wells Fargo mainly makes their money on the premium charged on sending money out of the country by legal and mostly illegals here.
The Tech Oligarchs and elites who foolishly kept more than the FDIC insurance limit in SVB will lose NOTHING. Why? Because our wonderful Congress will bail them out this coming week. Rest assured, if this was a regional Midwest bank, no such bailouts would be coming for the Deplorables…
But don’t worry, when we go to a CBDC, nothing like this could EVER HAPPEN.
Support CBDC? You’re a fool.
Because if you thought cancel CULTURE was bad, wait until they can cancel YOU and every “penny” you have with one single keystroke.
The more you engage in electronic transactions, the greater control the Feds have over your life. And we’ve seen what Dems in control will do to maintain power. Concoct a total lie about Russia Russia Russia. Steal an election. Collude to create a scamdemic. Force a deadly gene therapy on the populace. Cover up up treasonous activity by the Resident and his family. Plant evidence and coverup exculpatory evidence. Imagine when they decide they don’t like what you’re buying, where you’re traveling, who you’re associating with . . .
Just to be clear…the “Red Tsunami” DID happen, IF the elections were as fair as they were pre-2004. 99% of virtually every article you post would not be an issue if 100% of all elections were fair. MAGA would be dominant, RINO’s would be the new second party, and the Democrats would be reduced to the size of the Green Party if that were the case.
