According to a solicitation released on Dec. 4th, the Treasury Dept. is about to spend $200,000 on survival kits for all employees who oversee the federal banking system.
Every major bank in the U.S. will receive one of these kits, which includes water-purification tablets, a solar blanket, food, dust mask, a 12 hr. light stick, a 33-piece personal first aid kit and other survival items.
he survival kits must come in a fanny-pack or backpack that can fit all of the items, including a 33-piece personal first aid kit with “decongestant tablets,” a variety of bandages, and medicines.
The kits must also include a “reusable solar blanket” 52 by 84 inches long, a 2,400-calorie food bar, “50 water purification tablets,” a “dust mask,” “one-size fits all poncho with hood,” a rechargeable lantern with built-in radio, and an “Air-Aid emergency mask” for protection against airborne viruses.
Survival kits will be delivered to every major bank in the United States including Bank of America, American Express Bank, BMO Financial Corp., Capitol One Financial Corporation, Citigroup, Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Company, and Wells Fargo.
Items will also be delivered to OCC offices across the country, from Champaign, Ill. to Billings, Mont. The agency also has offices in Sioux City, Iowa; Joplin, Mo.; and Fargo, N.D.
The mission of the OCC is to “ensure that national banks and federal savings associations operate in a safe and sound manner, provide fair access to financial services, treat customers fairly, and comply with applicable laws and regulations.”
The agency has roughly 3,814 employees, each of which would receive a survival kit. The staff includes “bank examiners” who provide “sustained supervision” of major banks in the United States.
“Examiners analyze loan and investment portfolios, funds management, capital, earnings, liquidity, sensitivity to market risk for all national banks and federal thrifts, and compliance with consumer banking laws for national banks and thrifts with less than $10 billion in assets,” the OCC website explains. “They review internal controls, internal and external audit, and compliance with law. They also evaluate management’s ability to identify and control risk.”
It is not clear why the Treasury Department is ordering the kits. Contracts for survival kits are usually made for the military, or law enforcement such as the FBI.
The OCC did not return request for comment before publication of this story.
Yea so that they can control them.
Um why?
Because when something big happens they will be able to survive from whatever the big shots have up their sleeves.
100 trillion dollar crash…. This terrifies me.
I’m getting my survival kit together too.
Maybe cause they just wrote their own ticket, I mean laws. Their worried the ppl. Will rise up against them?
Mr. Gore, Tennessee is deeply ashamed and embarrassed by you
Chase shouldn’t crash .. they steal their money believe me .. i know
When countries like China and others in that coalition decided to no longer allow themselves to be forced to use US dollars as worldwide currency for trade and mainly oil, it killed the American dollar. It’s already dead people. There’s billions & billions of unused dollars in other countries that have just agreed to hold on to it but no longer use it. There’s a date they ship it back. It’s like a dog shot miles away but it’s just lemping home slowly to die. People are going to be clueless until all of a sudden you go to pay a bill online and it says the banking system has gotten a dangerous virus worldwide, it’ll happen on a Friday of course, and it’ll say sorry for the inconvenience all systems will be back up and running Monday. Well count that as a 72 hour notice that economy is dead and Monday there will be all out chaos and the ringing in of marshal law and the new one world government. Call me crazy but open your eyes first.
Built in radio? Perfect opportunity to plant listening devices at every major bank what good is a fanny pack kit in a horrific situation sounds pretty useless
