RED ALERT: E.U. Gives Banks Access To Saver Accounts

“The EU Commission wants future citizens open bank accounts anywhere indefinitely. This measure is especially the large international banks: they have more efficient ways to collect in Europe in case of a crash, the compulsory levy of bank customers.

Too big to fail is from an EU perspective, without alternative and therefore conveying a decent business model. There is now also a fundamental right to the compulsory levy. For the banks.”

Sinclair – The Bright Future of Gold – The Final Solution of the 2008 Monetary Crisis

Dear CIGAs,

Let’s keep things very simple:

1. The future of gold will not be determined by the USA.

2. The present manipulation in gold is purely Western, and any other thought is rank nonsense. This event is both short term and very short sighted in terms of people’s published analysis.

3. The triumvirate of Euroland, Russia and China will determine the future of gold as financial power has shifted from the West towards [...]

CIVIL WAR IMMINENT? There Is An All-Out Attack On The Values That This Country Was Founded Upon. They Want To Ban Our Guns, Force Us To Register Our Grandfathered Weapons & Force Us To Give Our Fingerprints… THE BILL OF RIGHTS IS NON NEGOTIABLE!

Our forefathers gave us the constitutional right to bear arms in order to allow the citizenry to protect itself from a corrupt, oppressive, tyrannical government.

But that was back in the day when there was a level playing field as far as arms went. You basically had swords, guns, and cannons…

The government had no better weapons technology available to it than the citizens..

That ceased to be the case when the south [...]

BREAKING: EU Banking Union In The Making – TODAY!

It’s funny how in American media, Europe is often referred to as if it was one state. This message is delivered through the MSM, which of course obeys the agenda of the globalists.

Europeans have been pushed for years to become one nation, which is something very few over here really want. There are somany different cultures here, not melt together as in the US but residing on their own areas, there’s just no [...]

In 2008 there were about 530 Trillion in derivatives, Now there are 3 times more!!!

There are now 1.5 quadrillion in derivatives floating around. The banks said the US government must bail them out in 2008. Now there are 3 times the derivatives as in 2008.

By the end of 2012 there might be 2 quadrillion in derivatives, I don’t see how we can continue much longer with this massive bubble being blown up by the banks. When it pops it will take down the whole [...]

Spain’s Lottery Seeks 6 Billion Euro Loan for Regions

LONDON (Reuters) – Spain’s national lottery is trying to raise 6 billion euros $7.3 billion (4.7 billion pounds) through a syndicated loan with international banks to finance its contribution to a government fund for the country’s cash-strapped regions, bankers said on Wednesday.

The Spanish government announced the 18-billion-euro fund earlier this month and said at the time it would take the unusual step of asking the lottery, the country’s most profitable [...]

Derivatives: Bank Downgrades Trigger Billions In Collateral Calls

A series of ratings downgrades from Moody’s last week has created an unwelcome but manageable liquidity squeeze on three major banks, by forcing them to post billions of dollars in additional collateral against derivatives exposures.

 

Moody’s completed its rating review of international banks last Thursday and downgraded three major derivatives dealers below the crucial Single A threshold, which will likely have led to hefty collateral calls from counterparties.

Citigroup’s two-notch long-term rating [...]

REPORT: Fitch downgrades Spain’s Banco Santander and Banco Bilbao

Fitch credit ratings agency has downgraded Spain’s two largest international banks Banco Santander and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) from A to triple B plus.

The international credit agency said on Monday that the downgrades were primarily because Spanish sovereign debt ratings had been downgraded to BBB- from A- on June 7 and also due to forecasts that Spain’s faltering economy would remain in recession throughout this year and also in [...]

The $125bn bailout is not going to work! Spanish government and banks are propping up each other, says Joseph Stiglitz

Europe’s plan to lend money to Spain to heal some of its banks may not work because the government and the country’s lenders will in effect be propping each other up, Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz said.

“The system … is the Spanish government bails out Spanish banks, and Spanish banks bail out the Spanish government,” Stiglitz said in an interview.

The plan to lend Spain up to €100bn, agreed on Saturday [...]

Today legendary trader and investor Jim Sinclair told King World News the “credit event” in Greece totals much more than the $3.5 billion which is being reported by the mainstream media.  Sinclair also said if the CDS’s are in fact made to pay, this could require the rescuing of eight international banks, through Fed swaps that could total in the trillions of dollars.  Here is what Sinclair had to say [...]

The money was stolen, not once but twice: Top bank analyst Whalen: This is where the stolen MF Global money is

From Jesse’s Café Américain:

“But please, to our friends in the Big Media, could we stop saying that we don’t know the location of the missing $1.6 billion of client funds from MF Global? The money is safe and sound at JPM and other counterparties. As with Goldman Sachs et al and American International Group, the banks have been bailed out at the cost of somebody else. And the various agencies [...]

TF Metals Report: Let’s Return To The Gold Standard

Monday, February 13, 2012 at 6:41 pm

Last week, I was perusing the latest issue of The American Spectator (yes, I’m a subscriber and have been since 1994). In it I found a terrific article about returning to The Gold Standard.

First, though, you should read this note from Santa. It fits in well here as he discusses the future and a likely return to a gold-based monetary system.

My Dear Extended Family,

The replacement of lost liquidity is NOT arithmetic. Booms, like busts, turn geometric on their liquidity effect because of the impact of mass financial psychology. Management of Perspective Economics primarily operated by mainstream media can make the gestation period of this event long, but it cannot reverse the underlying process.

With there being no question whatsoever that a credit [...]

How The U.S. Will Become a Third-World Country

How The U.S. Will Become A 3rd World Country (Part 1)

The United States is increasingly similar to a 3rd world county in several ways and is accelerating towards 3rd world status. Economic data indicate a harsh reality that obviates mainstream political debate. The evidence suggests that, without fundamental reforms, the U.S. will become a post industrial neo-3rd-world country by 2032.

Fundamental characteristics that define a 3rd world country include high unemployment, [...]

By William L. Watts

FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) — There is no agreement between euro-zone governments and international banks on the size of losses banks and other private bond holders should take on Greek government debt, the head of a trade group representing the banking industry said Wednesday night. “There has been no agreement on any Greek deal or a specific ‘haircut,’” said Institute of International Finance [...]

Greek debt loss: Bondholders asked to take 60% cut in value

From FT:

European negotiators have asked Greek debt holders to accept a 60 per cent cut in the face value of their bonds, a hardline stance that far exceeds losses agreed in a deal between private investors and eurozone authorities three months ago.

The stance, delivered to a consortium of international banks at the weekend by Vittorio Grilli, Italian treasury chief and lead eurozone negotiator, is a victory for German-led northern creditor [...]

Their sacrifice and commitment has opened doors and been a catalyst to move people to action in this country and now all around the world. Successful financial and banking reform depends on those protests [...]

Sausage The Riot Dog Coming To America?

 

Who would have thought it possible?

Let’s face it; Greece dominates [...]

ATHENS, Greece — The instability rocking Greece this week is the latest manifestation of a troubling new phase in the global financial crisis: political turmoil is sweeping through Europe, toppling governments and threatening to undermine efforts to rescue the financial system and, ultimately, the euro zone itself.

It seems likely that Prime Minister George Papandreou of Greece will manage to hold his government together long [...]
