&lt;p&gt;It should be obvious that such devaluations are never planned. They are improvised on the spot.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So, you don&amp;#39;t believe the IMF and these international bankers who meet yearly, don&amp;#39;t plan shit?&lt;/p&gt;

Bank &amp;#39;holidays&amp;#39; are put in place by the gov&amp;#39;t when  banks are ... bankrupt (the case of argentina) - the move is 
an attempt to prevent a widespread banking collapse but of course it fails. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I don&amp;#39;t think the US government needs a bank holiday to further devalue the dollar. They&amp;#39;ve been devaluing the dollar since 1930 without closing any banks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Also , what is this supposed to prove ? 

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div&gt; “Some US embassies worldwide are being advised to purchase massive amounts of local currencies,” &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Bankster Holiday Planned For September?</title><link>http://mises.org/Community/forums/thread/226011.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Jun 2009 22:12:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:226011</guid><dc:creator>limitgov</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://mises.org/Community/forums/thread/226011.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://mises.org/Community/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=197&amp;PostID=226011</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=14077&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Anyone who knows how formal devalution of a currency knows this is how they do it.&amp;nbsp; They simply close the banks down and devalue the currency, leaving people unable to take out their money.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is exactly how they did it in Argentina in 2001.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If this is true, Is this the begning of the end?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
