The rich pol who runs Cyprus, in cahoots with the banksters and the EU, had promised that capital controls would be lifted in a few days, then a week, now about a month. But that is all eyewash. The controls will last for years. Why? Because the Cypriot banks, like all fractiona;-reserve banks, are bankrupt, and it takes only a relatively small number of people withdrawing their money to put them out of business.
