I am 100% for a global financial meltdown because that will give the people the one chance they have to eliminate the globalist agenda and put the international banking community under lock and key.

Now will be a good time to take out a massive loan from your bank, and you can bet, they will fold sooner than your next payment....keep the lotto

I say bring it on. It actually would be a good thing for the whole stack of economic cards to fall down.... there will be consequences though.... very tough situations will be born of it. If the global economy collapses it could, or maybe I should say would, cause regional wars all over the planet. Essentially a world war but not necessarily one where there are distinct alliances, at least at first. After a war of regions it would probably escalate into full on world war.... and of course it would all be for "resources".

But then again.... it may go in a completely different direction. The international bankers & all the power brokers that operate in the shadows, and behind the various governments, may just one day force the various governments under their control to inform their citizens that they their government has been "foreclosed" upon. Sort of similar to how the western Roman Empire ended.... I forget the exact details but the gist of the end was a group of Goths and other financial power-brokers of the time went to Rome and told the reigning Caesar that Rome was "no more" and he should leave. He went to some villa in Siciliy or Sardinia and what was left of the empire was divided amongst the various power-brokers ("black nobility") & regional-governments that existed at that time.

I'd say the "foreclosure" scenario is more likely to happen... but I wish an all out chaotic, madmax scenario would happen.... it would be far more exciting.

Oh it's coming I guarantee it.
What the Americans have done is make sure most of the world goes down with them.

they leveraged and then sold fraud to the world so much of it was sold that Americans can not repay them for the fraud .
Brace yourselves if you do not own your own place clear of any mortgage you will be on the streets or rounded up and sent to camps.
in a last desperate attempt they will raise interest to 15-20% on outstanding loans this won't work it will only make it worse. when you see them do this its close to collapse.
thats more likely the scenario we face
Out of Chaos comes order

"Economic slowdown just getting started"

Today, Citibank (C) got popped for a billion or two for fraudently selling ARS -Auction Rated Securities...saying these debt instruments were: 'AS Good As Cash'-- which turned out to be a bald faced lie to the buying customers paying cash for these [call them, the ARS, just one example of the fraudlent derivitives the banksters foisted on the monied populace]

now... here's the low-down...
just because Citigroup was found guilty of a billion$ in fraud. and another 6 or 8 major investment banks will ralize that same legal outcome...
(to an accumulated total of under $40Billion) that this beginning of legal prosecution will "Break the Banks"..
Mo, what i'm saying is that thjis is just the start of legal proceedings against all that 'toxic paper' the banks/investment hiouses... sold to both Americans, their 401k fund managers AND the +$500. trillion that these fraudlent banksters 'sold'
(under false pretenses and guarantees) to all sorts of Foreign entities!!


from my seat, all these fraudster 'primary deale' banks/brokers/investment banks that issued these Trillion$ of fraudlent bonds/investment-grade securities will not be able to 'trade-swap' with the Frederal Reserve as they habve been doing for 6-8 months already, at some $750 Billion in Treasury bills/notes to keep these banksters 'Liquid'
(so far)

the Fed will draw the line here... not lend or exchange any more toxic paper for inflationary Treasury cash...because the fraudlent 16 banks on the Feds list of 20 'primary dealer' banks are now going to have a legal 'precident' in today's ARS decision...and Every-&-All of those CDOs,
and other alphabet 'paper' securities can & probably Will be deemed fraudlent...and have to be repaid to the duped investor....


I see only 1 or 2 of the Feds' 'Primary Dealer' /investment houses/brokerages being able to survive by way of merger..

say good-by to names like Citi, Merell, GS, MS and the bevy of others...


let the dust fly is what i say!!

Yeah, Udio I'm in agreement about letting the dust fly. The ARS stuff is pretty interesting, but pretty minuscule in dollar amount compared to the other crap they are still hiding. Seems like now that one is taking those ARS back on their books the rest are following suit. As I was writing this I heard something on CNBC (or CNBS if you prefer) about another one Meryll I think around 10Billion.

I think it's going to be an interesting Fall (pun intended). It's been almost a year now since people really started noticing the precarious situation things are in my non-financially-astute mind no better than last August if not worse.

What you propose about the PDs is what would happen in a well regulated non-corrupt world. We have nothing near either of those conditions. Wall Street, Treasury, and Fed have proven with the GSE bailout that they will sacrifice the entire country (taxpayer) to avoid thier reckoning day. Perhaps the toxicity of what the Fed has been taking in collateral from these institutions was part of the speedy pasage of the GSE bailout. Or perhaps there was a threat by foreign CBs or SWFs that if the GSE debt wasn't backstopped they would stop buying Treasuries. I have no doubt unless the average person gets more educated and more involved in stopping this bailout crap that WILL MOST LIKELY NOT HELP KEEP THEM IN THEIR HOME OVER THE LONG TERM, we are going to be at best looking at a lost decade like Japan, or possibly in a default situation like Argentina, Russia etc.

I'm so pissed about this situation. We have a regime (they deserve the title because of how it evokes images of some third world fatcat) that refused to even slightly regulate or prosecute the excess that was allowed on it's watch while parroting the "mantra" "less regulation and free markets are good for everyone". When the poo poo finally hit the fan these free market pariahs immediately turned into socialists begging for bailouts and get this even writing the Bailout Bills that were then passed over to their shills in CONgress (Dodd-D Con, Shelby R-AL). The 700 page bailout bill was handed to Congress on a Friday and voted on during a special Saturday session.

sure the ARS financial products are miniscule, in comparison to the 10's of Trillion$ that the bankster/fraudsters created and sold to a duped public who were told that the products they were investing/buying were AAA and equal to 'cash'... But thats the insight of my post ---

the law is establishing a case and a precedent upon which other judgements will be based upon... i.e.' If the Justice & SEC 'prove' that the banksters were fraudently presenting their product as something other than what it is ... then that is Illegal and punishable under Law.

Now if all those CDOs and SIVs, and all those other bogus financial instruments that the banksters created and sold to the public --
[knowing full well they were mis-representing the worth & value & sustainability of that financial paper]
....then all those CDOs & SIVs & etc. will be treated just the same as the corrupt and fraudlent ARS products have been today ! ....
And there is something like 1/4-3/4 of a Trillion dollars of scam/toxic/fraudulent paper out there in the Foreign banks & funds, which the banksters deceived the investors into purchasing.

Then because the Fed will cease bailing these fraudsters out with even more US Treasury notes or bonds, also known as good money, the resulting vacuum will immediately cause these elite banksters corporations into bankruptcy after sustaining 100s of Billion$ of paper losses...

which only the Federal Reserve (as the source of last resort) can/could salvage the $12 Trillion USA mortgage & home ownership landscape.
and help 1 or 2 finncial houses to survive after merging the dozen other defunct primary dealers


My point of the post is to point out that this event today is only the small snowball that will gather more bulk and mass and energy to become an economy destroying scenario & wreck most of the world economy in the process...
until the USA effectively becomes a fascist state with maybe a dictator of the 'Fed' that has more power than the VP or whomever is in line of succession......


I'm so pissed about this situation. We have a regime ...


its better to be peed off than peed on!

Udio, I'm in almost 100% agreement with you on the derivatives problem. And I believe that your end game, as frightening as it sounds, is within the realm of possibillity. You've been on top of this a pretty good while now and I respect your opinions. In your endgame do you see it being hyperinflationary, deflationary, some combination of the two, or maybe some type of currency default followed by say an AMERO?

Did you hear about this ?


BNY Mellon is seeking a judicial declaration that Countrywide has defaulted on its obligations under the terms of the indenture. The company is also asking a judge to order Countrywide to immediately purchase the notes surrendered in cash equal to 100 percent of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest.


Bank of New York/Mellon suing Countrywide (for all intents and purposes Bank of America) that's two big boys about to go at it in the courts.

my endgame viewpoint would only play out IF the Fed, bankers, Treasury
did not individually or collectively 'change the rules' of the credit game ...

and the central bank even further reduced the required 'reserves' the banks needs to conduct operations..
those fractional reserves may be entirely suspended as the few remaining banks merge, consolidate and become Nationalized.

(along with Freddy&Fanney becoming Nationalized...) for the strategic reason to protect the homeland from the foreign debt holders seizing millions of mortgaged properties, as settlement.

The US$ is only seeing recent 'strength' because the OPEC & Saudi in particular are allowing & even helping manipulate the price of oil & oil futures to the US$ advantage ...
the conventional wisdom that the US$ is strengthening because the Euro is not going to raise their prime rate is a red-herring of a plausible answer to dupe the financial world. ...
the US$ will hyperinflate as its value goes into a nose dive when another + Trillion is squeezed out of the fraudster bankers to recompensate for all that funny/toxic financial paper sold all over the world.


~outlook~
Freddy & Fanny housing will become a cabinet status entity,
there will be only 3 commercial + investment banks regulated by the Fed,
look at China as a model for ordered living for the masses in USA

thanks,

oh, and thanks for the link, i had not read that info yet, there's lots of things that are unraveling at great speed right now...
so the Fed/Treasury has got to do a radical intervention very soon !

I am having a field day don't you Udio? after the collapsing of the housing bubble this was definitely coming, all the dirty dark and hidden secrets behind the success of our banking system.

I can not wait for the next chapter in the banking system soupopera.


BTW how many corrupted and dirty CEOs has been indicted or arrested?

I've had a blast with this mess myself. I'm just waiting on this current runup in financials to look like it's playing out and then I'm going back in short. Looks like we're getting the perfect setup for a bloody (market wise) fall.

This is what happens when laws that worked for the better part of a century (Glaas-Steagal) are gutted, followed by a regime that refuses to enforce what little regulations are in place. I specifically remember the DoJ being involved in squashing some state level laws in Georgia that were meant to protect consumers from mortgage fraud.

GA, is on the list of welfare states, so you can imagine what the housing crash did to many of the homeowners in my neck of woods.

In my neighborhood alone the foreclosure homes is too many to count, including my neighbor that was the original owner of his home, dealing for years with the Government fighting to get them admit that his blood poisoning was do to Agent orange when he was in Vietnam, within 12 years that I knew him he became slowly paralyzed on one side of his body.

He fell under the lack of insurance/medical bills roller coaster, after his own insurance drop him off because the bills and the nature of his disease, he lost his American dream and end up under the care of his older son and family.

The last I knew he was to do his final battler with the government but to tell you the truth I think that his will was already broken.

Sad but the only losers here are the citizens, the ones behind the banking system collapse are still free and profiting.

I'm from Georgia myself Marg, though I currently live just across the Hooch in Bama. The local paper's legal notice section on Fridays has had to drop the font size to squeeze all the notices of foreclosure in, and the amount of pages grows weekly. I live in the area where they are building a large Korean auto plant and that has helped property values somewhat but still there are huge amounts of foreclosures here.

My uncle himself just got the Gov to admit he was sprayed while in Vietnam with Agent Orange..

That was I believe 2 years ago, and he fought the entire time..

NOT TRUE! .. The bank CEO's and managment took massive salary cuts.. averaging a whopping 20% ... so -20% of a 100,000,000 bonus ..

Well .. look .. they want us to feel sorry for them, so we should..



Anywho, on my street (which is only a mile and a half long) there is 27 houses vacant, all vacating in the past 12 months.

Interesting I had no clue that Koreans are now in the business of auto making.

At least some jobs are coming for the area, but hey the days of well pay GM salaries are long gone as manufacturing jobs that are still in the US are now paying a lot less than back in the days.

Do you have any idea what the pay will be starting in the plant?

Oh, you devil you,
the CEOs are getting a cut but I don't see any jail time for their "oversight" if that is what is call their criminal activities now a day.


Anyway my neighbors was in very closed contact with the agent orange during Vietnam his job was to load the creates of chemicals into the planes.

His blood became poison and slowly his organ were giving up on him, first his kidneys he was on dialysis, then his liver and so on, his skin had sores all over it was a very sad case.

Well, at least your uncle knew where it came from and can prove it through his service records. My uncle was with his men in the jungle, fighting, probably lost, and a plane flew over head dropping a chemical that was supposed to "burn away the jungle" ..




I don't see any jail time for their "oversight"


It's actually not illegal to loose money. It's illegal to lie and say your making money when your loosing money (New York Pension plans --- again --- attacked by big banks for predatory lending and also New York municipalities..)

The New York attorney General is bringing heavy fines (to the tune of tens of billions) that the major American and Canadian banks are paying today -- stocks still up though.
Why the managers over seeing those plans did not get tossed in jail, I have no clue.. corporations are often above the law. Or, perhaps, they are the law.. We should change official documents from "We The People" to "We the Shareholders and Board Members"

America's priorities - stuff mouth - watch news about creeps we idolize - stuff mouth - watch the weather and to see if angelina has named her 31st adopted child from Africa yet

People I know who watch the news every night (they all watch Fox for some reason) still don't actually comprehend..

And THAT is why the bastards are not in jail. No one cares. Well, some will .. when they check their 401K and see half of it missing.



Interesting I had no clue that Koreans are now in the business of auto making.


Nissan and Hyundai??? .. Never heard of them? Korean. South Korean. The build manufacturing in America because they know how to run a Corporation, where as America sucks at it and has to export jobs over seas. They then tell us that buying a Nissan, a Toyota, and a Honda is unpatriotic, because it's a Japanese or Korean Car.

I would then point out Ford and GM have more employees in Mexico then America, and 60%+ of cars are assembled in Mexico.

I bought a Scion (Toyota). Assembled in America. By Americans. It's an Import because the Corporate Title is in Japan ....
(Toyota also owns a large share of GM)



Do you have any idea what the pay will be starting in the plant?


They built a Honda plant about 100 miles from where I live, they where recruiting all the way down here.. the starting wage was, if memory serves me, something around $19-$22 an hour.
