Eric Cantona
Former Manchester United superstar Eric Cantona has called on people worldwide to withdraw all their money from banks on December 7th to put a stop to the misery of the worldwide recession caused by the banks. His campaign has gained support in France, Britain and Ireland to date…

Cantona was interviewed by local newspaper Presse Océan in Nantes last week, in which he spoke about his work with housing charity, ‘Abbé Pierre Foundation’. However, he soon went on a rant about the way in which the power of banking across the world has landed millions upon millions of people unnecessary ‘misery’.

The 44-year-old former Reds legend told the newspaper in a televised interview that he wanted people to go to their ATM on December 7th and withdraw all their savings. He said it would spark a revolution in which people will be freed from misery piled on them by the banks.

‘Destroy The Banks’ – King Eric

 
“I don’t think we can be entirely happy seeing such misery around us. Unless you live in a pod. But then there is a chance… there is something to do. Nowadays what does it mean to be on the streets, to demonstrate ? – You swindle yourself. Anyway, that’s not the way any more.” Cantona said. 

“We don’t pick up weapons to kill people to start the revolution. The revolution is really easy to do these days. What’s the system ? – The system is built on the power of the banks. So it must be destroyed through the banks. This means that the 3 million people with their placards on the streets, they go to the bank and they withdraw their money and the banks collapse. 3 million, 10 million people, and the banks collapse and there is no real threat. A real revolution.”


“We must go to the bank. In this case there would be a real revolution. It’s not complicated – instead of going on the streets and driving kilometres by car you simply go to the bank in your country and withdraw your money, and if there are a lot of people withdrawing their money the system collapses. No weapons, no blood, or anything like that,”
he adds: “It’s not complicated and in this case they will listen to us in a different way. Trade unions ? – Sometimes we should propose ideas to them.”

Support for the campaign has grown in Cantona’s former footballing countries – France and England, as well as in Ireland, where the country is in financial turmoil.

lol…….You gotta admire King Eric’s passion as ever!
Sadly I think the average Joe aint gonna bring the collapse of Internationl organizations.
I mean me withdrawing my balance of £195 is hardly going to cause major shockwaves in the Bank of England.
He is right though those self serving Wankers and Merchant bankers have reeked ruin and hardship on many.
Still continue to feather their own nests.Disgusting but conspiracies are difficult to break ask Guy Fawkes, if you have a Ouja board! lol

what about leaving just 1 penny, (1 cent) or whatever… that means the banks still have to operate the account… so it costs them more to operate… what to do with the money? everyone put their money into a pot and buy out one bank which we then run ourselves, the others will disappear… then make the bankers responsible eat dog crap on live tv and a youtube live cast…

On thinking more about this article.One would simply hope that Robbers and house breakers dont read this fine blog.
I can picture a spate of house break ins.
I am sure Mervyn King will be quaking in his fine Saville Row suit at the threat of a rally call from a renowned trouble maker.
Aint all French troublesome! lmao

YOU KNOW, IT WOULD WORK, NO MATTER WHAT WANKERS POSTING NEGATIVE RESPONSES SAY, IT WILL WORK IF WE PRACTICE SOLIDARITY.
I HAVE ALREADY CLOSED MY CREDIT CARDS TO PREVENT ME GETTING RIPPED OFF THAT WAY
AND
THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO CHRISTMAS EVE, I SHALL NOT ONLY WITHDRAW MY FUNDS OUT OF MY CURRENT CASH GRAB FACILITY, I SHALL DEFINITELY LEAVE BUT 1P IN THE ACCOUNT. THIS WILL COST, FOR A CHANGE, MY BANK HAVING TO SERVICE MY ACCOUNT AT THEIR EXPENSE.
THE KING IS A SOCIOLOGICAL MARVEL.

Write in capitals all you want, it wouldnt work!! Think of the amount of normal people employed by banks, there must hundreds of thousands. They would join the dole queue costing the government (and us) millions.

Ruining the financial sector would not benefit the UK or the world, you got to think of the bigger picture.

I love Cantona but… I agree with LackyMUFC. I love the sentiment and love the idea of making the banks suffer but ultimately the rich little so and so’s will walk away rubbing their hands with glee. If you want to see an example of this get the dvd, “Enron: the smartest guys in the room” from amazon etc. They screwed the system up well before the recent collapse and the richest walked away whilst the poor lost their livelihoods. The problem lies with the fact that the bank’s money is re-invested elsewhere, so no money to invest, then the share prices all crash. Jobs are cut yet again. Anarchy once more. I don’t want more recession, I want a happy state of stability for once and so do millions of others worldwide!


(ps RE: muggers, just transfer all the money to a nice small independent bank and the nasty big banks suffer, and the money stays safe-ish.)

Yeah, Mr. Cantona has perfectly right, and this is what I always saying to my fellows also. The recent economical and political systems’ “heart” the banking system, so if he (we) would kick out the chair under the banking system, the whole world wide shit going to collaps sooner or later. Hopefully sooner, and the peoples going to be able to build up on it’s ruins a better and more ture relocations system. Without interrest, witout inflation, without extra-profit and so forth.

<a href=”http://post-crash.com/ea/”><b>Le Run on The Bank.</b></a>

Afin de rendre notre action plus efficace je vais plus particulièrement axer mon action sur la banque Française la plus fragile de part sa position sur les marchés dérivés, la Société Générale.

Je ne suis pas un homme, je suis Cantona.

To make us more effective I will particularly focus my efforts on the French bank which is the most fragile due to its position in the derivatives markets, Société Générale.

I am not a man, I’m Cantona.

Money with the « FIAT currency model » is the trick to stole everything.
FED (and all central banks) is the main gangster, as Paul Grignon explain in its video :
http://www.moneyasdebt.net/
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2550156453790090544
Or for frenchies
http://bankster.tv/videos.htm

So If you do not want that bankers continue to stole your lifes speculating on your country (like Irish are now slaves of banksters for generations), withdraw all your money the 7th december and as long as necessary!

More data on bankrun2010 event on facebook (25 country already in the loop) or here : http://www.stopbank.blogspot.com/

Put your money only on cooperative/ethical banks, local credit union, or In gold or silver if you prefer. But do not let big banksters speculate with your money!
