fannie mae Fires Over 100 Federal Agency Employees for Facilitating Housing Loan Fraud
April 9, 2025 | Sundance |
This is an excellent example of what Attorney General Pam Bondi should be focused on instead of her appearances on Fox News.
The Federal Housing and Finance Agency has released a public statement highlighting an internal review and investigation of conduct within fannie mae that has resulted in the termination of over 100 employees for "unethical conduct" including the "facilitation of fraud."
If the FHMA is finding intentional fraud within the housing loan offices, those federal employees should be arrested and legally prosecuted for their conduct.It is not enough to just fire people, there has to be legal accountability. These are the government regulators for fannie mae and Freddie Mac. (Agreed, if they are not arrested the others still there, will notice and carryon with their fraud)

JOE BIDEN Published May 13, 2024 2:44am EDT | Updated May 13, 2024 2:37pm EDT
Biden's plans for addressing housing affordability will make it worse, Pence group warns
Pence's Advancing American Freedom warns lawmakers that Biden's housing proposals could cause a repeat of the 2008 crisis
The nonprofit political advocacy group founded by former Vice President Mike Pence is warning congressional lawmakers that President Biden's plans for the federal government to intervene in the housing market will only escalate the problem to a scale not seen since the Great Recession.
Pence's organization, Advancing American Freedom (AAF), issued a policy memo to lawmakers and their staff on Friday, claiming the president's proposals would "kill" the American dream, and result in a "repeat" of the 2008 crisis.
The memo pointed to the Biden administration's proposal out of Freddie Mac that would guarantee certain second mortgages, and said if the rule comes to fruition it would mean the government-backed entity would take on another $3 trillion in liabilities. AAF claims such a move would only fuel inflation further, and cause increased instability in the mortgage market.
The policy group also warned against the administration's proposal to weaken credit standards for borrowers, and the president's plan - outlined in his State of the Union address - to offer $10,000 subsidies for first-time homebuyers and starter-home sellers.
AAF noted that the affordable housing crisis in the U.S. is a supply-side issue due to the shortage of homes in the U.S., and argues Biden's approach would only feed demand, making the problem worse.
{{ AAF, which was launched for the purpose of defending the accomplishments of the Trump-Pence administration, is urging conservatives in Congress to utilize the Congressional Review Act to stop the Biden administration's proposals by using the power of the purse, and to "get the government out of the mortgage business altogether" by ending the conservatorship of fannie mae and Freddie Mac.}}}
The group argues that the federal government could increase the supply of housing by returning surplus federal lands back to the states, and eliminate agencies like the EPA, which it says is driving up the cost of housing due to burdensome environmental regulations that hinder building.
"President Biden and the Democrats should get out of the mortgage business before America barrels headlong into a repeat of the 2008 housing crisis," AAF Executive Director Paul Teller told FOX Business.

fannie mae
Government-backed financial services company
The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), commonly known as fannie mae, is a United States government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) and, since 1968, a publicly traded company. Founded in 1938 during the Great Depression as part of the New Deal, the corporation's purpose is to expand the secondary mortgage market by securitizing mortgage loans in the form of mortgage-backed securities (MBS), allowing lenders to reinvest their assets into more lending and in effect increasing the number of lenders in the mortgage market by reducing the reliance on locally based savings and loan associations (or "thrifts"). Its brother organization is the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC), better known as Freddie Mac.
In 2023, with over $4.3 trillion in assets, fannie mae is the largest company in the United States and the fourth largest company in the world, by assets. fannie mae was ranked number 28 on the Fortune 500 rankings of the largest United States corporations by total revenue and was ranked number 75 on the Fortune Global 500 rankings of the largest global corporations by total revenue.

1. Manufacture a "crisis"
2. Offer "emergency solutions" people would never accept except for the "crisis."
3. Results achieve the hidden goal, unrelated to the supposed problem
We'll look at three examples below, but in her excellent book Behind the Green Mask, Rosa Koire describes this three-step process as "communitarianism," which claims that in matters of public policy, we must "balance" individual rights guaranteed by the Constitution with (imagined) community rights to assure "fairness." So here the three-step process is:
1. Individual rights are selfish, harming the community
2. Individuals cede some of their rights to the community
3. Results: fewer rights/freedoms for individuals, more power for local, state, or federal government
The "problem" (i.e., lack of community rights) didn't actually exist but was manufactured by those whose true goal was abolishing individual rights and freedoms and increasing the power and reach of government to impose their social and political visions.
We can see how this "dance" played out in the 2008 housing bubble collapse:
Step One, the "Crisis": Bill Clinton manufactured the "crisis," saying poor people couldn't afford to buy their own homes. Of course, poor people have never been able to afford their own homes, so why was this suddenly a crisis? That situation is actually a motivation for good behavior: work, save money, defer children until you're more financially secure, use alcohol (or drugs) only moderately, if at all, etc. But no, to Clinton and the left, it was suddenly a "housing crisis."
Step Two, Emergency "Solution": Force banks and mortgage companies to lower housing loan standards so people who can't afford homes are able to get loans anyway. Using the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) to force fannie mae and Freddie Mac to make 30% of their mortgage purchases these sub-prime loans in 1977, that requirement grew to 50% by 2000. Bush43 continued this "affordable housing" boondoggle. In 1991, CRA sub-prime loans were $8 billion; by 2007, they were $4.5 trillion. By 2008, half of all outstanding mortgages in the U.S. were sub-prime (high-risk) loans.
Step Three, Actual Results: When financial firms sold these sub-prime loans as mortgage-back securities, the stage was set. When a major increase in loan defaults occurred in 2008, the housing market crashed, taking the stock market with it. The manufactured housing "crisis" wasn't fixed, but the U.S. economy was devastated... which was the true goal all along by the globalist Clinton and his leftist cronies.
Another example is the pandemic:
Step One, the "Crisis": the COVID-19 'pandemic' was supposedly an existential threat to humankind that demanded draconian "emergency" measures (turns out that for healthy people, it was barely more deadly than seasonal flu).
Step Two, Emergency "Solution": business lockdowns, schools closed, vaccine mandates, social distancing, etc. Many small businesses operate on narrow margins, so such lockdowns forced their permanent closings, and even major industries were impacted.
Step Three, Actual Results: devastated U.S. (and world) economy... again, the global elites' primary goal all along, making Western democracies weaker against their globalist push from the UN, WEF, et al.
Finally, the biggest example, "climate change":
Step One, the "Crisis": 'climate change' is an existential threat to the earth; if something isn't done immediately, the earth will burn up in "X" number of years.
Step Two, Emergency "Solution: eliminate fossil-fuel usage (curtail all manufacturing production, reduce/eliminate gasoline-powered cars, trains, trucks, planes, and ships), drastic restrictions on agriculture and cattle raising, make CO2 (behind oxygen the most beneficial element in the world) a pollutant, etc.
Step Three, Actual Results: Agenda 2030 is the UN's supposed response to climate change; if its 17 Sustainable Development Goals are actually implemented, the world will be reduced to mid-1800s-levels of food production, transportation, manufacturing, etc... except for the globalist elites behind the "climate change" scam.

What Are fannie mae and Freddie Mac?
fannie and Freddie are companies that buy mortgages from lenders to free up cash for new loans.
fannie mae and Freddie Mac were established by the U.S. government for different purposes. fannie was created in 1938 during the Great Depression to provide access to loan funds on reasonable terms after defaults had drained funding for new mortgages. Freddie came in 1970 to expand the nation's secondary mortgage market, where lenders and investors buy and sell mortgages and their servicing rights.
fannie mae and Freddie Mac are government-sponsored enterprises, organizations that help bring capital to the U.S. housing market. The names fannie mae and Freddie Mac are simply creative takes on the acronyms for these companies, FNMA for the Federal National Mortgage Association and FHLM for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp., respectively.
These federally chartered, privately owned corporations are regulated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency and aim to provide liquidity, stability and affordability to the market in all economic conditions. They accomplish this by purchasing home loans from banks, bundling those loans and then selling them to investors, which enables banks to finance more mortgages.
A loan that meets the requirements to be purchased by fannie mae or Freddie Mac may also be called a conforming loan.

Described in countless media write-ups as a cross between the Wizard of Oz and Dr. No, the Canadian oil billionaire was the Secretary General of the 1992 UN Conference on the environment and Development in Rio de Janeiro where the unveiling of Agenda 21 took place and subtly began to change the world as the rest of us know it.
"With little media monitoring, Strong and Gore are cashing in on the lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming." "Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate Exchange, described as "the world's first and North America's only legally binding greenhouse gas emission registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.
"Gore buys his carbon off-sets from himself-the Generation Investment Management LLP, "an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C.", of which he is both chairman and founding partner."
"In order to save the planet, the group [GIM] decides: Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring this about?"
"This group of world leaders [GIM] forms a secret society to bring about an economic collapse," Strong told the reporter in painting his so-called fantasy scenario.
"It's February. They're all at Davos. These aren't terrorists. They're world leaders. They have positioned themselves in the world's commodities and stock markets. They've engineered, using their access to stock markets and computers and gold supplies, a panic. Then, they prevent the world's stock markets from closing. They jam the gears. They hire mercenaries who hold the rest of the world leaders at Davos as hostage. The markets can't close...
Two weeks ago, financial analyst Jim Rogers said the bailout of fannie mae and Freddie Mac made America more communist than China! "This is welfare for the rich," he said. "This is socialism for the rich. It's bailing out the financiers, the banks, the Wall Streeters... Even ex-president Putin, just today, said as Russia rid itself of Marxism, America is embracing it.
The world's second richest man, worth some $44 billion, gave 85% of his wealth in July of 2006 to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
The lion's share of the Gates foundation goes into United Nations sanctioned projects. Make that the fomenting for One World Government anti-American United Nations.
As Henry Ford once said:
"It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. The one aim of these financiers is world control by the creation of inextinguishable debt."
Welcome to One World Government. Not only has it slipped in through the back door, it is right here about to keep you awake at night.

"Unfortunately, not all of the homes could be saved through these programs, and despite my best efforts, some were, sadly, subject to foreclosure," Mnuchin said.
OneWest was sold to CIT Group (CIT) - Get Free Report in 2015 for $3.4 billion. Bloomberg estimates Mnuchin may have made $380 million on the deal.
There were many critics of the deal among Democrats, including Senators Sherrod Brown and Ron Wyden, who argued that a foundation Mnuchin chaired employed tax-exempt dollars to fund a campaign pushing for the deal's approval. According to Politico, 14 groups that sent letters to the Fed to back the merger received a combined $2.5 million from the OneWest Foundation in the four years leading up to the merger.
Republican Senator Orrin Hatch, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, defended Mnuchin, arguing that after participating in the purchase of IndyMac, Mnuchin's company offered loan modifications to the "vast majority of its delinquent borrowers" to reduce foreclosures.
The disproportionate amount of time Senate Democrats have spent on Mnuchin's history at OneWest might ultimately prove unwise, said Kara Ward, legislative and government affairs counsel at law firm Venable LLP and former attorney at the U.S. Department of Treasury.
"[It will be] perhaps to the detriment of other major policy issues that the Treasury will be facing over the next four years," she said.
The Treasury Department performs a variety of functions related to the economy and finance. The Inspector General, the IRS, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the Alcohol and Tobacco and Trade Bureau fall under its umbrella, among other bureaus.
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, said that in Mnuchin's testimony he will be looking out for indications of prioritization.
"I'd really like to know about their priorities, because they've got a lot of stuff on the agenda – corporate tax reform, China and currency manipulation, Dodd-Frank repeal, fannie mae and Freddie Mac privatization. These are big things, so what's first?" he said.
Tension was high early on at Thursday's hearing, as senators squabbled over opening statement procedures. After criticism from Wyden, Republican Senator Pat Roberts cut off his opening comments, saying tersely, "Fine, Ron, I'm done." grape smuggler

About The New "Affordable Housing" Fees on Mortgages that Punish High Credit Borrowers
April 20, 2023
<snip>
If you focus on the DC Potemkin Village, you view this move through the prism of Biden's FHFA creating a policy to favor low-income (nonwhite) voters by punishing stable credit worthy borrowers. That's what the powers who control the levers, and create policy, want us to focus on. That's not what is going on.
Biden doesn't control anything. Biden is a puppet to the multinationals that control DC policy. When Biden was installed, the people who control the money and wealth (Blackrock, WEF assembly etc.), the people behind the Potemkin Village, knew what the larger economic agenda would create.
They knew BBB, or Green New Deal policy, combined with excessive govt spending would generate inflation. They moved their money from inflation sensitive liquid and paper assets, into real estate. Inflation raged, liquid assets depreciated, real assets (real estate) surged. 25% of housing was bought with investment dollars by institutional investors, housing prices skyrocketed - their investments increased accordingly.
The financial control operators avoided the consequences of the government policy they controlled.
Now, those same institutions need to turn those appreciated real estate assets into capital outcomes. They need to sell the real estate. However, the assets are now at maximum appreciation and dropping as a result of the central banking moves to raise borrowing rates.
How do they exit the investment? They need a mechanism - a new policy to create the financial instrument that transfers the increased investment wealth back into their hands.
They need buyers.
How do they get buyers? They create new policy.
That's what is behind this new FHFA rule. fannie mae and Freddie Mac will create a new category of buyers that allows the investors to sell the real estate assets at higher appreciated values and exit their investment. They will transfer the depreciating loss of the asset to the new buyers, like a game of hot potato.

###
In politics and economics, a Potemkin village is any construction (literal or figurative) whose sole purpose is to provide an external fa?ade to a country that is faring poorly, making people believe that the country is faring better.

Q Research General #23016: Oversight of the #ATF Edition
Mortgage fees are changing for homebuyers next month. Here's what you should know.
If you're looking to buy a home, be aware that mortgages will change next month.
Starting May 1, upfront fees for loans backed by fannie mae and Freddie Mac will be adjusted because of changes in the Loan Level Price Adjustments (LLPAs), the fees that vary from borrower to borrower based on their credit scores, down payments, types of home and more. The changes relate to credit scores and downpayment sizes.
In some cases, people with higher credit scores may end up paying more while those with lower credit scores will pay less.
What are the fee changes?
The entire matrix of fees based on credit score and down payment has been updated. If you have a top credit score, you'll still pay less than if you have a low credit score. However, the penalty now for having a lower credit score will be smaller than it was before May 1.
For example, if you have a score of 659 and are borrowing 75% of the home's value, you'll pay a fee equal to 1.5% of the loan balance. Before these changes, you would have paid a 2.75% fee. On a hypothetical $300,000 loan, that's a difference of $3,750 in closing costs.
On the other end, if you have a credit score of 740 or higher, you would have paid a 0.25% fee on a loan for 75% of your home value before May 1. After that date, you could pay as much as 0.375%.
What loans do these fees apply to?
Any loan that's guaranteed by either fannie mae or Freddie Mac, regardless of the lender.
fannie mae's and Freddie Mac's share of the mortgage market comprised nearly 60% of all new mortgages during the pandemic, up from 42% in 2019, according to the Urban Institute.
Why are these changes being made?
These changes are part of the Federal Housing Finance Agency's broader examination of fees to provide "equitable and sustainable access to homeownership" and shore up capital at Freddie Mac and fannie mae.
Last October, Housing Finance Agency eliminated fees for conventional loans for about 20% of homebuyers, which helped boost affordability for many Americans, particularly as housing costs rose.
Groups that benefit from that change include low- to median-income first-time homebuyers; buyers using the HomeReady (fannie mae) or Home Possible (Freddie Mac) low-down-payment mortgage options for low-income buyers; buyers using the HFA Advantage (Freddie Mac) or HFA Preferred (fannie mae) loans offered through state and local housing finance agencies; and single-family loans that fall under the Duty to Serve program that helps low- and moderate-income families finance manufactured housing and rural housing purchases.
Are these positive changes?
It depends on which side of the spectrum you land.
"I can see both sides," said Hakan Wildcat, mortgage area manager in Kansas for Guardian Mortgage. "Are there going to be people who qualify for a loan but maybe shouldn't? Maybe, but that's probably a very small percentage," he said, adding,"But I can see at the end of the day, money is money and if you have great credit, why should you be penalized?
"We're going to have to see it in practice and see how it plays out but overall, the thought process is probably sound and good," he said.
Will there be any more changes?
The Housing Finance Agency also plans a fee on August 1 for borrowers with at least a 40% debt-to-income ratio and 60% loan-to-value ratio, calculated by how large your loan is compared with the value of your home. This fee was also supposed to take effect May 1 but was delayed after pushback from the industry.
As a standalone measure, debt-to-income ratio is not a reliable indicator of a borrower's ability to repay, said the Mortgage Bankers Association, an industry group.
"A borrower's income and expenses can change several times throughout the loan application and underwriting process," wrote Bob Broeksmit, Mortgage Bankers Association president and chief executive, in a recent blog post. "This is especially true in today's labor market, which is shaped by the growth in self-employment, part-time employment, and gig economy employment." This would "create complications and problems for borrowers and lenders alike."
The debt-to-income ratio fee will also likely affect a larger group of potential buyers, Wildcat said. "A lot of people fall above 40% debt-to-income ratio, and this is going to impact their purchasing power."

Biden to hike payments for good-credit homebuyers to subsidize high-risk mortgages
Apr 22, 2023
Homebuyers with good credit scores will soon encounter a costly surprise: a new federal rule forcing them to pay higher mortgage rates and fees to subsidize people with riskier credit ratings who are also in the market to buy houses.
The fee changes will go into effect May 1 as part of the Federal Housing Finance Agency's push for affordable housing, and they will affect mortgages originating at private banks across the country. The federally backed home mortgage companies fannie mae and Freddie Mac will enact the loan-level price adjustments, or LLPAs.
Mortgage industry specialists say homebuyers with credit scores of 680 or higher will pay, for example, about $40 per month more on a home loan of $400,000. Homebuyers who make down payments of 15% to 20% will get socked with the largest fees.
The new fees will apply only to Americans buying houses or refinancing after May 1.
Lenders and real estate agents say the changes will frustrate homebuyers with high credit scores and homeowners seeking to refinance because the rule punishes them for their relatively strong financial positions.
"The changes do not make sense. Penalizing borrowers with larger down payments and credit scores will not go over well," Ian Wright, a senior loan officer at Bay Equity Home Loans in the San Francisco Bay Area, told The Washington Times in an email message. "It overcomplicates things for consumers during a process that can already feel overwhelming with the amount of paperwork, jargon, etc. Confusing the borrower is never a good thing."
He said the rule will "cause customer-service issues for lenders and individual loan officers when a consumer won't understand why their interest rate and fees suddenly changed."
"I am all for the first-time buyer having a chance to get into the market, but it's clear these decisions aren't being made by folks that understand the entire mortgage process," Mr. Wright said.
The new fees "will create extreme confusion as we enter the traditional spring home purchase season," said David Stevens, a former head of the Mortgage Bankers Association who served as commissioner of the Federal Housing Administration during the Obama administration.
"This confusing approach won't work and more importantly couldn't come at a worse time for an industry struggling to get back on its feet after these past 12 months," Mr. Stevens wrote in a recent social media post. "To do this at the onset of the spring market is almost offensive to the market, consumers, and lenders."

A $1.5 Trillion Wall of Debt is Looming for US Commercial Properties
Almost $1.5 trillion of US commercial real estate debt comes due for repayment before the end of 2025. The big question facing those borrowers is who's going to lend to them?
"Refinancing risks are front and center" for owners of properties from office buildings to stores and warehouses, Morgan Stanley analysts including James Egan wrote in a note this past week. "The maturity wall here is front-loaded. So are the associated risks." The investment bank estimates office and retail property valuations could fall as much as 40% from peak to trough, increasing the risk of defaults. Adding to the headache, small and regional banks - the biggest source of credit to the industry last year - have been rocked by deposit outflows following the demise of Silicon Valley Bank, raising concerns that will crimp their ability to provide finance to borrowers. (so is addition to a shrinking depositor base they also carry a large amount of these loans that are not going to be able to be refinanced as in the past) The wall of debt is set to get worse before it gets better. Maturities climb for the coming four years, peaking at $550 billion in 2027, according to the MS note. Banks also own more than half of the agency commercial mortgage-backed securities - bonds supported by property loans and issued by US government-sponsored entities such as fannie mae - increasing their exposure to the sector. "The role that banks have played in this ecosystem, not only as lenders but also as buyers," will compound the wave of refinancing coming due, the analysts wrote. Rising interest rates and worries about defaults have already hurt CMBS deals.Sales of the securities without government backing fell about 80% in the first quarter from a year earlier'according to data compiled by Bloomberg News. Amid the gloom, there are some slivers of good news. Conservative lending standards in the wake of the financial crisis provide borrowers, and in turn their lenders, with some degree of protection from falling values, the analysts wrote. (that doesn't help the outstanding loans and there is nothing offered as proof but good try!)
American offices are half-empty. That could be the next big risk for banks
https://infiniteunknown.net/2023/04/10/american-offices-are-half-empty-that-could-be-the-next-big-risk-for-banks/
(regarding the above ^^^ from yesterday-they were at the same level six months into the 'Rona manufactured lockdowns in 2020)
Sentiment toward multifamily housing also remains much more positive as rents continue to rise (Kek!), one reason why Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust had a positive return in February even as rising numbers of investors lodge withdrawal requests (They are gatekeeping it hard and had $4.5B of redemption requests and paid out only $666m so naturally there is moar spin on this than they would like to admit) . The availability of agency-backed loans will help owners of those properties when they need to refinance. Still, when apartment blocks are excluded, the scale of the problems facing banks becomes even starker. As much as 70% of the other commercial real estate loans that mature over the next five years are held by banks, according to the report. (which is exactly why the ones who see this coming will-and already are-dumping these onto to the banks that don't see this coming-the big bois are not going to get trapped in a situation where the balloon style type of loan won't be able to be refinanced becasue rents have dropped and occupancy rates along with that because it's not just a question of lowering interest rates..that is not going to solve this in the commercial sector) European real estate issuers, meanwhile, have the equivalent of more than ?24 billion due for repayment over the remainder of the year, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Tolu Alamutu wrote in a note. "We are definitely seeing real estate companies do all they can to delever - scaling back investment programs, more joint ventures, bond buybacks and where possible, dividend cuts," she said in an email. "Disposals are a key focus too. Some recent comments from real estate issuers suggest it's still not easy to sell large portfolios."
and some of the ongoing Evergrande saga "China Evergrande Group, the developer at the heart of the nation's property crisis, said it signed restructuring support agreements with some dollar bondholders backing its proposed debt restructuring. Meanwhile, another Chinese builder, Shimao Group Holdings Ltd., is circulating draft restructuring offers to advisers of an ad-hoc bondholder group."
https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/a-1-5-trillion-wall-of-debt-is-looming-for-us-commercial-properties-1.1905638
So you are a property manager and you have this looming you are just going to say "ok you can have this back (to the bank) because it's half empty and rents can't be raised to make up the difference" so into default it goes

Q Research General #22736: A Very Comfy Place Edition
The Fed's Cure Risks Being Worse Than the Disease
March 27, 2020
(Bloomberg Opinion) – The economic debate of the day centers on whether the cure of an economic shutdown is worse than the disease of the virus. Similarly, we need to ask if the cure of the Federal Reserve getting so deeply into corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, and exchange-traded funds is worse than the disease seizing financial markets. It may be.
In just these past few weeks, the Fed has cut rates by 150 basis points to near zero and run through its entire 2008 crisis handbook. That wasn't enough to calm markets, though - so the central bank also announced $1 trillion a day in repurchase agreements and unlimited quantitative easing, which includes a hard-to-understand $625 billion of bond buying a week going forward. At this rate, the Fed will own two-thirds of the Treasury market in a year.
But it's the alphabet soup of new programs that deserve special consideration, as they could have profound long-term consequences for the functioning of the Fed and the allocation of capital in financial markets. Specifically, these are:
CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility) - buying commercial paper from the issuer. PMCCF (Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds from the issuer. TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) - funding backstop for asset-backed securities. SMCCF (Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds and bond ETFs in the secondary market. MSBLP (Main Street Business Lending Program) - Details are to come, but it will lend to eligible small and medium-size businesses, complementing efforts by the Small Business Association.
To put it bluntly, the Fed isn't allowed to do any of this. The central bank is only allowed to purchase or lend against securities that have government guarantee. This includes Treasury securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and the debt issued by fannie mae and Freddie Mac. An argument can be made that can also include municipal securities, but nothing in the laundry list above.
So how can they do this? The Fed will finance a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for each acronym to conduct these operations. The Treasury, using the Exchange Stabilization Fund, will make an equity investment in each SPV and be in a "first loss" position. What does this mean? In essence, the Treasury, not the Fed, is buying all these securities and backstopping of loans; the Fed is acting as banker and providing financing. The Fed hired BlackRock Inc. to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the SPVs on behalf of the owner, the Treasury.
In other words, the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets. The Fed is providing the money to do it. BlackRock will be doing the trades.
This scheme essentially merges the Fed and Treasury into one organization. So, meet your new Fed chairman, Donald J. Trump.

Anon doesn't think Robert Bruce Zoellick has received the attention he deserves. He checks a lot of boxes on this Anon's list. His timeline, with respect to his responsibilities, coincidently line up with some disastrous events in the human timeline. It's almost like somebody thinks he's the right man for the job, when disaster strikes. In a huge coincidence, Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates and Melinda Gates are World Bank figures. It's surely just another coincidence that Zoellick is a member of the World Economic Forum. Zoellick, at the recommendation of Kurt Volker, launched the International CorruptionHunters Alliance. Didn't Anon read, somewhere that the hunters become the hunted? Anon would like to suggest that you read Robert Bruce Zoellick's World Bank biography (see 2/2 in this thread). First see what Britannica has to say about him.
Britannica - Robert Bruce Zoellick
He was born on July 25, 1953 inEvergreenPark, Illinois.
He grew up in Naperville, Illinois outside ofChicago.
He worked in the =Treasury==.
He was in theState Dept..
"…he represented Bush in 1991 and 1992 at summits of theGroup of Seven(forerunner of theGroup of Eight)."
He was Executive Vice President offannie mae- 1993 to 1997.
"He completed negotiations that broughtChinaandTaiwaninto theWorld Trade Organization(WTO) and was influential in getting congressional approval of theTrade Act of 2002…".
He was "…vice-chairman of the investment bankGoldman Sachs."
He was president of theWorld Bank".
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Robert-B-Zoellick
Anon would like to opine that anyone who is not ashamed of his/her involvement in the fannie mae caper, or any similar caper, and who boldly includes it in his/her biography, should not ever work in the U.S. government again. Clearly the fannie mae caper was detrimental to most U.S. Citizens. If an individual wants to serve the interests of global entities in such a matter, he/she should be required to resign his/her government position/positions and declare himself/herself a foreign agent.
Anon doesn't understand the intricacies of some of the financial stuff described in Zoellick's biography. Can a more financially minded Anon look it over and explain what you see?

Q Research General #21209: America First Policy Institute - TRUMP SPEECH TODAY!!!!!! Edition
Major financial investors on Wall Street have set their sights on a new target for acquisition, buying up mobile home parks across the country only to raise the cost of rent and other fees that mobile home owners must pay.
The Daily Caller reports that such investors include private equity firms and real estate investment trusts. These buyers have turned to purchasing mobile home parks and raising rent for tenants who are either stuck at a low income or are actually disabled.
One state that has been affected is Minnesota, where out-of-state purchases of mobile home parks nearly doubled between 2015 and 2021. In 2015, just 46 percent of the state's mobile home parks were purchased by out-of-state buyers; in 2021, that percentage skyrocketed to 81 percent. Over the course of that six-year period, rent at such parks rose by as much as 30 percent.
In Iowa, Assistant Attorney General Benjamin Bellus claims that the number of complaints from mobile home owners has increased "100-fold" in recent years.
"These industries, including the mobile home park manufacturing industry, keep touting these parks, these mobile homes, as affordable housing. But it's not affordable," Bellus said to the press. "You're putting people in a snare and a trap where they have no ability to defend themselves."
Another state that has been devastated by this trend is Montana; one such park is Havenpark Communities in Great Falls, which has seen the cost of rent rise dramatically since 2020. One resident, Cindy Newman, said that her monthly rent had previously cost just $117 in 2020; since then, it has gone up to $400.
George McCarthy, CEO and president of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, revealed that corporate investors have been spending the last eight years buying out mobile home parks to try to reach ownership of 20 percent of all mobile home lots in the United States. McCarthy particularly blamed the lending giants fannie mae and Freddie Mac for backing many of the investment loans that ultimately led to these mobile home purchases, with Freddie Mac approving $9.6 million in loans across 44 states since 2014.

How husbands and wives figure in the latest government scandal revelations
americanthinker.com/blog/2017/12/how_husbands_and_wives_figure_in_the_latest_government_scandal_revelations.html
December 16, 2017 By Frank Friday
There's a nice post on Thread Reader identifying the man at the center of all the Trump-Russia-dossier crap: Bill Priestap, Peter Strzok's boss and James Comey's confidant. He knows everything and would have made any decision to pay for the Fusion GPS dossier. Oddly, he has escaped media scrutiny so far.
The one thing they sort of miss on is his wife, Sabina Menschel, who is not just some consultant, but the current head of the D.C. office of Nardello & Co. That's the top private-eye firm in the Beltway.
So the man the FBI has keeping all its secrets is married to the top private snoop in Washington.
It would be revealing, no doubt, to see what Democratic-affiliated law firms and media shops in D.C. use Nardello. Let's hope congressional investigators are looking into this. Ms. Menshel, by the way, is the daughter and niece of Goldman Sachs zillionaire brothers Richard and Robert Menshel, big-time Democrat donors.
A long time ago, a friend of mine who once worked in the intel community in D.C. told me all the agencies were just absolute cesspools of nepotism, and pretty much everybody advanced by playing leap-frog along with a spouse through the system. Use your connections to get your wife a better slot somewhere in the alphabet soup, then she does the same for you. A few detours on the way to congressional staffs, or well connected private law and media firms, can be part of the track as well.
That's how we got everyone from Bruce and Nellie Ohr to Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson. No surprise at all that Hillary Clinton's attorney is the super-connected Beth Wilkinson, married to NBC's David Gregory and an alumna of the Web Hubbell DOJ and the Jamie Gorelick fannie mae - you know, the same people in James Comey's FBI. Peter Strzok may have a variation on the game, using his mistress Lisa Page as his ladder-climbing pal in the DOJ.
The current situation was made worse by the poor job George W. Bush did in bringing his people to the DOJ. You may remember the hassle he got with every U.S. attorney he tried to replace and with every non-Ivy League lawyer he wanted in Washington. Having Alberto Gonzales as attorney general didn't help. So the normal partisan house-cleaning and turnover that should have happened in eight years of Bush did not occur.
We also have the swamp fighting furiously for every important federal job to be credentialed and not made "political." What sort of person benefits from that? The Lois Lerners of the world - connected East Coast liberals. There are 80,000 IRS employees but only two appointed by the president.
It is an irony worthy of a Charles Murray book that the liberal D.C. Democrats, who have done so much to destroy the American family in general, have made family ties their secret weapon for staying power in Washington, no matter who wins the elections.

The Fed's Cure Risks Being Worse Than the Disease
Jim Bianco
March 27, 2020?5 min read
(Bloomberg Opinion) – The economic debate of the day centers on whether the cure of an economic shutdown is worse than the disease of the virus. Similarly, we need to ask if the cure of the Federal Reserve getting so deeply into corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, and exchange-traded funds is worse than the disease seizing financial markets. It may be.
In just these past few weeks, the Fed has cut rates by 150 basis points to near zero and run through its entire 2008 crisis handbook. That wasn't enough to calm markets, though - so the central bank also announced $1 trillion a day in repurchase agreements and unlimited quantitative easing, which includes a hard-to-understand $625 billion of bond buying a week going forward. At this rate, the Fed will own two-thirds of the Treasury market in a year.
But it's the alphabet soup of new programs that deserve special consideration, as they could have profound long-term consequences for the functioning of the Fed and the allocation of capital in financial markets. Specifically, these are:
CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility) - buying commercial paper from the issuer. PMCCF (Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds from the issuer. TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) - funding backstop for asset-backed securities. SMCCF (Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds and bond ETFs in the secondary market. MSBLP (Main Street Business Lending Program) - Details are to come, but it will lend to eligible small and medium-size businesses, complementing efforts by the Small Business Association.
To put it bluntly, the Fed isn't allowed to do any of this. The central bank is only allowed to purchase or lend against securities that have government guarantee. This includes Treasury securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and the debt issued by fannie mae and Freddie Mac. An argument can be made that can also include municipal securities, but nothing in the laundry list above.

and they paid their executives big big bucks, absurd bonuses, to do it. And got away with it. No one seems to know or remember their part in it all.

The layoffs come as the company received a$750 million cash injectionfrom its biggest backer, Softbank, ahead of itsplans to go public through a SPAC merger with Aurora Acquisition Corp., giving it $1 billion in cash on its balance sheet.

"… Blank-check company Aurora Acquisition Corp. and SoftBank have decided toamend the terms of their financing agreement to provide Better with half of the $1.5 billion they committedimmediately instead of waiting till the deal closes.
"… ==puts more money on the balance sheet overall to fuel further growth… Better.com will have $1 billion on its balance sheet by week's end.
"In the email, [CFO] Ryan told employees:
"We pulled forward the funding of our SPAC deal ... With this new structure the company will fortify our balance sheet and position us as extremely well capitalized in a tough mortgage market. Surviving is winning and capital ensures survival ... By the end of this week we expect to have $1 billion of cash on the company's balance sheet. Quantum's more than we have ever had. [sic] We willcontinue working through the process of public listing but the most important step has been taken (getting the money).
"Thenew arrangement will replace the prior agreement wherein $950 million of the $1.78 billion in committed financing from Aurora and SoftBank would have been used to purchase existing shares from Better's stockholders rather than the company receiving it directly to its balance sheet.
"The amended terms will not change Better's implied valuation of $6.9 billion, the company says.

Barney Frank
In 2003, a documentary film about Barney Frank entitled Let's Get Frank, directed by award-winning New York photographer and filmmaker Bart Everly, and executive produced by Jonathan Van Meter, the founding Editor-in-Chief of Vibe magazine, created by Quincy Jones, and contributing editor of American Vogue and regular contributor to The New York Times Magazine, was released. Ruth Rachel Anderson-Avraham (n?e Yvonne Michele Anderson) - financial lawyer, filmmaker, writer, artist, and fellow graduate of Harvard Law School, who had previously worked for Emmy Award-winning and Oscar-nominated filmmakers Rory Kennedy and Liz Garbus - co-produced the film.[citation needed] This documentary not only recounted Barney Frank's own struggle coming out in public and political life as a prominent gay man, the height of which was his reprimand following the Gobie scandal, but also documented Frank's dedicated defense of U.S. President Bill Clinton during his impeachment trial in January and February 1999. At the time of its release, Let's Get Frank received mixed reviews, some celebrating the film, as Ken Eisner did in Variety, and others struggling with Everly's distinct style and the dual telling of Frank's own personal story along with that of the Clinton Impeachment Trial through Frank's eyes, as Ed Halter did in the Village Voice.[46][47] In 2006, the film was broadcast on television by Logo TV and acquired by First Run Features.[48][49] Let's Get Frank has since become a part of the collections of the US Library of Congress (LOC) and the British Film Institute (BFI).[50][51]
Frank was criticized by conservative organizations for campaign contributions totaling $42,350 between 1989 and 2008. Bill Sammon, the Washington managing editor for Fox News Channel, claimed the donations from fannie and Freddie influenced his support of their lending programs, and said that Frank did not play a strong enough role in reforming the institutions in the years leading up to the economic crisis of 2008.[61] In 2006, a fannie mae representative stated in SEC filings that they "did not participate in large amounts of these non-traditional mortgages in 2004 and 2005."[62] In response to criticism, Frank said, "In 2004, it was Bush who started to push fannie and Freddie into subprime mortgages, because they were boasting about how they were expanding homeownership for low-income people. And I said at the time, 'Hey-(a) this is going to jeopardize their profitability, but (b) it's going to put people in homes they can't afford, and they're gonna lose them.'"[15]
In 2009 Frank responded to what he called "wholly inaccurate efforts by Republicans to blame Democrats, and [me] in particular" for the subprime mortgage crisis, which is linked to the financial crisis of 2007-2009.[63] He outlined his efforts to reform these institutions and add regulations, but met resistance from Republicans, with the main exception being a bill with Republican Mike Oxley that died because of opposition from President Bush.[63] The 2005 bill included Frank objectives, which were to impose tighter regulation of fannie and Freddie and new funds for rental housing. Frank and Mike Oxley achieved broad bipartisan support for the bill in the Financial Services Committee, and it passed the House. But the Senate never voted on the measure, in part because President Bush was likely to veto it. "If it had passed, that would have been one of the ways we could have reined in the bowling ball going downhill called housing," Oxley told Frank. In an op-ed piece in The Wall Street Journal, Lawrence B. Lindsey, a former economic adviser to President George W. Bush, wrote that Frank "is the only politician I know who has argued that we needed tighter rules that intentionally produce fewer homeowners and more renters."[15] Once control shifted to the Democrats, Frank was able to help guide both the Federal Housing Reform Act (H.R. 1427 Archived 2008-11-29 at the Wayback Machine) and the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act (H.R. 3915 Archived 2012-12-13 at the Wayback Machine) to passage in 2007.[63] Frank also said that the Republican-led Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, which repealed part of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 and removed the wall between commercial and investment banks, contributed to the financial meltdown.[63] Frank stated further that "during twelve years of Republican rule no reform was adopted regarding fannie mae and Freddie Mac. In 2007, a few months after I became the Chairman, the House passed a strong reform bill; we sought to get the [Bush] administration's approval to include it in the economic stimulus legislation in January 2008; and finally got it passed and onto President Bush's desk in July 2008. Moreover, "we were able to adopt it in nineteen months, and we could have done it much quicker if the [Bush] administration had cooperated."[citation needed]

What was the date on this EO. I can find it on federal register, WSJ may think it happened in 2019 but I need the name too. Seems like EO was done in 2020
Is the Federal Reserve Being Absorbed By The Treasury?
President Trump could be pulling off a major move that has the potential to save America and its economy as the nation faces one of its most difficult periods in recent history.
In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic and all of the health, economic and societal fears that come with it, President Trump might come out of the chaotic situation a hero.
A Bloomberg opinion article and written by Jim Bianco explains how "the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets."
"The Fed is providing the money to do it," the author states. "This scheme essentially merges the Fed and Treasury into one organization. So, meet your new Fed chairman, Donald J. Trump."
How could this happen?
Essentially, the Federal Reserve has created multiple new programs lately that serve a slew of purposes.
Bianco lists the following programs and their intended functions:
CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility) - buying commercial paper from the issuer. PMCCF (Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds from the issuer. TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) - funding backstop for asset-backed securities. SMCCF (Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds and bond ETFs in the secondary market. MSBLP (Main Street Business Lending Program) - Details are to come, but it will lend to eligible small and medium-size businesses, complementing efforts by the Small Business Association.
"The Fed isn't allowed to do any of this," he continues. "The central bank is only allowed to purchase or lend against securities that have government guarantee. This includes Treasury securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and the debt issued by fannie mae and Freddie Mac. An argument can be made that can also include municipal securities, but nothing in the laundry list above."
So if the Fed "isn't allowed" to conduct the above-mentioned operations, how is any of this happening?
Each acronym program listed will be connected to a special purpose vehicle (SPV) financed by the Fed.
Next, the Treasury will make an equity investment in each SPV, meaning they, not the Fed, purchase the securities and backstopping of loans and the Fed is acting as a bank providing financing.
"The Fed hired BlackRock Inc. to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the SPVs on behalf of the owner, the Treasury," Bianco writes.
"In effect," he says, "The Fed is giving the Treasury access to its printing press."
This is revolutionary because America's Founding Fathers granted the power to print coin to Congress and Congress only.
Article I Section 8 permits Congress to coin money and to regulate its value and Section 10 denies states the right to coin their own money.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 5 specifically grants Congress power to "coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin."
Therefore, the framers clearly wanted the national monetary system to rest in the hands of America, not a private consortium of foreign banks, AKA the Federal Reserve.
This move appears to undo, at least partially, what former President Woodrow Wilson did in 1913, which was surrender Congress' money-regulating powers to the privately-owned Federal Reserve.
Has Trump managed to take back control of America's currency amid the greatest U.S. crisis since 9/11?

>Crashing the Mortgage-Lending Industry
The CRA was founded upon a planted axiom with far-reaching implications-that government intervention is necessary to counteract the fundamentally racist and inequitable nature of American society generally, and of the free market specifically. The profound implications of that premise began to hit critical mass in the early 1990s, when studies showing disparate mortgage-loan approval rates for blacks and whites made sensational headlines in the media. In 1992, researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston released the results of
a seminal study, commonly known as the Boston Fed Study, which found that when whites and blacks with equivalent incomes applied for mortgages, the black applicants were denied at significantly higher rates. In reaction to the study, Attorney General Janet Reno warned in 1994 that "no bank" would be "immune" to an aggressive Justice Department campaign to punish discrimination in lending practices.[11]
Though the conclusions of the Boston Fed Study were thoroughly discredited by various authoritative sources-including the Federal Reserve itself-in the months and years that followed,[12] leftists in Congress and in the Clinton administration were determined to transform the CRA from an outreach effort into a strict quota system. Under this arrangement, if a bank failed to meet its quota for loans to low-income minorities, it ran a high risk of failing to earn a "satisfactory" CRA rating from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Such a failure, in turn, could derail the bank's efforts to open a new branch, relocate a home office, make an acquisition, or merge with another financial institution. From a practical standpoint, then, banks had no recourse other than to drastically lower their standards on down-payments and underwriting, and to approve many loans even to borrowers with weak credit credentials.[13]
In 1993, the Clinton Administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), backed by "progressives" in Congress, began bringing legal actions against mortgage bankers who had turned down a higher percentage of minority applicants than white applicants, regardless of their reasons for doing so. HUD also pressured the government-sponsored enterprises fannie mae and Freddie Mac, the two largest sources of housing finance in the United States, to earmark a rising number of their own loans for low-income borrowers.
The soon-to-be-infamous radical group ACORN, meanwhile, acting in coordination with its Democrat Party allies in Congress, aggressively pushed this same Clinton/Democrat agenda. In a 1991 protest against efforts to scale back the CRA, for instance, ACORN activists forcibly occupied the House Banking Committee room. In 1995, ACORN was the driving force behind a regulatory revision that greatly expanded the CRA. And ACORN used its subsidiary, ACORN Housing, to aggressively promote subprime loans for low-income minority borrowers; these loans were characterized by higher interest rates in order to compensate lenders for the high credit risk they were incurring.[14]
Over time, the landscape of the mortgage-lending industry was completely transformed. Subprime loans, as well as other types of nontraditional loans (such as zero-down payment loans), became ever more prevalent. The situation was exacerbated further by the fact that many banks securitized the risky loans-i.e., bundled them together and sold them to third-party investors. From 2000 to 2005, private securitization of home and commercial mortgages grew tenfold; many of these securitized loans were subprime mortgages. The result was a full-blown financial crisis, precipitated by radicals in the Democratic Party and its ACORN allies, that was characterized by countless home foreclosures, particularly among minority owners who had been lured into buying homes they could not afford, and high unemployment rates. "It was ultimately the skyrocketing rates of mortgage delinquencies and defaults," writes Hoover Institution Fellow Thomas Sowell, "that were like heavy rain in the mountains that caused the flooding downstream…. Government was not passively inefficient. It was actively zealous in promoting risky mortgage lending practices."[15]

Brookings has in recent years shifted back to the political left, particularly in its foreign policy positions. Condemning President Bush's Iraq policy, in April 2004 Brookings hosted Senator Edward Kennedy in an event aimed at discrediting the Iraq War. As the 2004 Presidential election neared, the Institution's Fellows endorsed Democratic candidate John Kerry's call for a "more sensitively" fought war on terrorism. They have also called for the American government to permit Islamic radicals like Tariq Ramadan to enter the U.S. with work visas.
Brookings has been involved with a variety of internationalist and state-sponsored programs, including the Global Governance Initiative, whichaspires to facilitate the establishment of a U.N.-dominated world government,based in part on economic and Third World considerations. Brookings Fellows have also called for additional global collaboration on trade and banking jp morgan chase ; the expansion of the Kyoto Protocol; and nationalized health insurance for children. Nine Brookings economists signed a petition opposing President Bush's tax cuts in 2003.

Culture of Corruption: Jeff Richetti, Top Biden Staffer's Brother, Lobbying WH on China Issues for General Motors
The brother of a top staff member in Joe Biden's administration is lobbying the White House on issues related to China for General Motors, a new disclosure reveals.
Jeff Ricchetti, a long-time swamp creature of Washington, DC's lobbying circle is the brother of White House Counselor to the President Steve Richetti.
The form shows Ricchetti was hired to lobby the Biden White House on "Issues related to China" and lobbies the White House National Security Council.
The latest disclosure is one of many documents demonstrating just how much business Jeff Richetti is getting after President Joe Biden took office - and his brother joined the team in the West Wing.
The Wall Street Journal reported Ricchetti's firm has collected $1.67 million in fees in the first half of the year - more than four times the money the firm made in the same period as last year.
General Motors hired Jeff Ricchetti in February 2021 and executives had a meeting with President Biden and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo within a few months as detailed by the Washington Free Beacon.
Domestic motor companies have scrambled in recent months to alleviate their shortages of semiconductors produced in China to get vehicle production back to normal after the coronavirus pandemic.
But General Motors has bigger desires in China, as they announced on July 5th plans to expand their local design studio to develop more electric vehicles.
"[W]e have the right organizations and people to bring the most desirable products to China's consumers in the new era of electrification and connectivity," General Motors executive vice president and president of GM China Julian Blissett said in a statement.
As long as a Ricchetti remains in the White House, General Motors will have a willing partner with Joe Biden - and their economic pursuits in China.
Jeff Ricchetti first started a lobbying firm in 1996 with his brother Steve who had just left former President Bill Clinton's administration.
The Riccetti's ultimately sold their firm to mega-lobbyist Tony Podesta, who also enjoyed ties to the Clinton administration through his brother John Podesta.
When Clinton left office, Jeff Riccetti started another lobbying firm with his brother Steve in 1999.
The Ricchetti firm's client list included well-known companies such as General Motors, the American Hospital Association, AT&T, Eli Lilly, Nextel, Novartis, Pfizer, and even fannie mae.
The investments paid off.
Then-Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY) helped direct $8 million in federal money to General Motors through earmarks in legislation between 2005 and 2007.

To say that Blackrock is invested in globalism, climate change and leftist politics, would be a severe understatement {See Here}. Larry Fink is the CEO and people like Cheryl Mills, Hillary Clinton's attorney of record, are on the board.
Inside BlackRock there is a division called the BlackRock Investment Institute (BII) {See Here}.
Essentially the role of the BII is to tell BlackRock what is going to happen around the globe, and be the tip-of-the-spear in directing BlackRock where to invest money by predicting political events.

Here's where it really gets interesting.
?Tom Donilon's brother, Mike Donilon is a Senior Advisor to Joe Biden {link} providing guidance on what policies should be implemented within the administration. Mike Donilon guides the focus of spending, budgets, regulation and white house policy from his position of Senior Advisor to the President.
?Tom Donilon's wife, Catherine Russell, is the White House Personnel Director {link}. In that position Donilon's wife controls every hire in the Office of the Presidency.
?Tom Donilon's daughter, Sarah Donilon, who graduated college in 2019, now works on the White House National Security Council {link}
So let me just summarize this.... The Chairman of the BlackRock Investment Institute, the guy who tells the $8.7 trillion investment firm BlackRock where to put their money, has a brother who is the Senior Advisor to Joe Biden; has a wife who is the White House Personnel Director; and has a daughter who is now on the National Security Council.
Put another way... Tom Donilon's literal job description for BlackRock is to: "leverage the firm's expertise and generate proprietary research to provide insights on the global economy, markets, geopolitics and long-term asset allocation," and his wife is in charge of White House personnel, his brother is Senior Advisor to the President, and his daughter is on the National Security Council.
You seeing this? Conflicts and insider information much?
The only thing missing is Hunter Biden being moved to the BlackRock board.
Now, I say again:.

Yeah, try never making the payment. I used to do this for Veterans all the time because the system works so hard to fuck them and they deserve the utmost gratitude but our banks unfortunately don't feel the same way.
I'm working on videos explaining it so as many Americans can take advantage of it. But ask the company your financing with to send you their rate sheet and tell them you want to cover all your costs and close on the 2nd of the month.
The refund you get for taking the higher rate can be used to cover your daily interest and per diem payments as well as funding your Escrow. Time it right and you'll never make another mortgage payment. [They all do it] I've even figured out fannie mae and Freddie Mac's PIW (Property Inspection Waiver) algorithm (used to close faster and not have to pay a 3rd party to have an Appraisal done).

Q Research General #15261: The Time For Action Has Come Edition
Neal Katyal for Attorney General: Child Slavery Advocates Deserve a Voice in Washington
If defending problematic corporations becomes anathema, there will be no one left to staff Democratic administrations
President-elect Joe Biden should nominate Neal Katyal for U.S. attorney general-not because he's the most qualified candidate, but because of the dangerous precedent failing to nominate him would set.
Katyal is a #Resistance hero who, among other things, led the legal challenge to President Trump's controversial travel ban and was an outspoken critic of Trump's decision to continue the Obama-era policy of separating migrant children from their families at the southern border. He previously served as acting solicitor general under President Obama and represented al Qaeda terrorists imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay.
More recently, Katyal appeared before the Supreme Court to defend his corporate clients-Nestlé and Cargill-against accusations that they had abetted child slavery and torture. Slate reports that in the course of defending his clients, Katyal sided with the Trump administration and went even further by proposing "an extreme theory that would shield all corporations from lawsuits under a crucial federal law."
When it comes to defending corporate clients, which are accused of knowingly profiting from human rights abuses at cocoa plantations in the Ivory Coast, Katyal isn't afraid to go bold. For example, he went so far as to invoke the Holocaust, arguing that because the company that supplied the Zyklon B used in Nazi gas chambers was not indicted at Nuremberg, his corporate clients shouldn't be held liable for abetting the enslavement and torture of children.
It takes someone historic like @neal_katyal to stand in the shoes of the company that manufactured Zyklon B, this is why representation matters pic.twitter.com/hRMA1rvl9M
- David Dayen (@ddayen) December 1, 2020
Naturally, some radical liberals are outraged. That's precisely why Katyal should be the next attorney general. At the very least, he deserves a high-ranking role in the Biden administration. What are the libs going to do, cry more?
Biden has already followed in Obama's footsteps by hiring a bunch of former lobbyists for controversial companies such as Eli Lilly, Facebook, and fannie mae. His nominee for secretary of state, Antony Blinken, cofounded a secretive consulting firm that boasted of helping American universities court investment from China. Neera Tanden, the president-elect's nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget, is president of a liberal advocacy group funded by corporations such as Amazon, Facebook, and Bank of America.

An Obama Tradition Continues: Biden Taps Facebook Lobbyist for Top Admin Post
President-elect Joe Biden on Friday announced the selection of Louisa Terrell as his legislative affairs director. Like most of the people Biden has tapped for senior roles in his administration, Terrell formerly worked in lobbying shops for controversial corporations such as Facebook, Yahoo, and McKinsey & Company.
The decision is in keeping with former president Barack Obama's proud tradition of hiring corporate lobbyists-despite explicitly campaigning against the influence of such lobbyists in Washington. Terrell is merely the latest former lobbyist to earn a senior role in the Biden administration.
Biden's incoming chief of staff, Ron Klain, previously lobbied on behalf of U.S. Airways, AOL Time Warner, fannie mae, and ImClone, a pharmaceutical company whose CEO was convicted of fraud. His deputy chief of staff, Jen O'Malley Dillon, cofounded an "integrated strategy and marketing agency" that was recently hired to represent private equity firms. The incoming counselor to the president, Steve Ricchetti, previously lobbied for AT&T, Eli Lily, and the American Bankers Association.

Q Research General #14837: Can we all agree the last 9 days were pretty dark?
Joe Biden's incoming chief of staff said elections are rigged
The long-serving aide to former Vice President Joe Biden and now-named White House chief of staff has expressed that he believes the elections are rigged and has denied the COVID-19 epidemic in America. In 2014, Ronald Klain responded to a Vox.com article that reported that "68% of Americans think elections are rigged" at the time. Klain commented: "That's because they are." Focused on gerrymandering, the piece argued, according to a Rasmussen poll, that voters were "basically right" to suspect that elections were "rigged in favor of incumbents." "The term 'rigged' might go a tad far. The problem here isn't fraud. In elections, like in so much else, the scandal is what's legal," Vox founder Ezra Klein levelled. The same reasoning could be applied to mass mail-in voting, which was introduced in the middle of the 2020 presidential campaign. An early November poll by Politico found that 70 percent of Republicans do not think the general election was "free and fair." "We don't have a #COVID-19 epidemic in the US but we are starting to see a fear epidemic," Klain tweeted in February of this year. Then he extended "kudos" to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio among others "for standing against that."
Former President Barack Obama appointed Klain to the so-called Ebola czar position to manage the administration's handling of the emerging public health crisis after a series of missteps by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Now Klain is seen as an asset in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic. On Wednesday evening, Biden himself commended Klain's "deep, varied experience and capacity to work with people all across the political spectrum," which he emphasized is "precisely" what he needs in a White House chief of staff to "confront this moment of crisis and bring our country together again." Ron Klain's deep, varied experience and capacity to work with people all across the political spectrum is precisely what I need in a White House chief of staff as we confront this moment of crisis and bring our country together again. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren called Klain a "superb choice" to serve as Biden's top adviser. "He understands the magnitude of the health and economic crisis and he has the experience to lead this next administration through it. Ron has earned trust all across the entire Democratic Party." Warren stated that she's known Klain, asserting that he's "guided by his belief in public service and building opportunity for America's working families." I've known @RonaldKlain for years and he is guided by his belief in public service and building opportunity for America's working families. Let's get to work! - Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) November 12, 2020
In the 2000s, Biden's pick lobbied at the firm O'Melveny & Myers on behalf of a trade coalition that sought to limit payouts in asbestos-related lawsuits. Klain and two others lobbied for the Coalition for Asbestos Resolution to push H.R. 1283 that would cap attorneys fees in such lawsuits and curb liability payouts, Senate lobbying records cite. As Politico noted in a 2008 expose, watchdog Public Citizen called the bill "a classic example of how special interests in Washington use political contributions, high-powered lobbying and public relations firms and prestigious academics to work their will in Congress - and trample on the rights of workers and consumers in the process." Klain was additionally hired by drugmaker ImClone which was heavily criticized for withholding promising experimental medicine from desperate cancer patients. Klain lobbied on "compassionate use" laws that allowed drug distribution before FDA approval. Out of 10,000 patient applications for C-225, ImClone handed out only 30 doses. Shortly after a congressional hearing-where the ImClone's CEO admitted to the poor drug allocation-the contract was ended with Klain's firm. He also lobbied on regulatory issues for home lender fannie mae, which was accused of inflating its earnings and overpaying executives. The mortgage loan company paid $400 million in fines due to its accounting practices and excessive bonuses to upper management. Klain's history as a lobbyist nearly two decades ago is effectively omitted from his progressive resume, perhaps due to his work for major corporations supported by Big Business.

November 12, 2020
Joe Biden's White House chief of staff will be a revolving-door lobbyist for bailout barons, fraudster drug companies, and major health insurers, all while Biden claims to be taking Washington back from the special interests.
Ron Klain served in the Clinton and Obama administrations, and in between, he was a lobbyist for K Street firm O'Melveny & Myers. His clients included fannie mae, the government-backed housing-bubble inflator that failed and required a taxpayer bailout. Klain lobbied for fannie mae from 2002 through 2005, the period when fannie mae successfully fought off stricter oversight from lawmakers concerned about taxpayer exposure.
In the Bush years, half the purpose of fannie mae seemed to be enriching politically connected Democrats, and Klain didn't miss out. Using an implicit taxpayer bailout, the company bought up a trillion dollars worth of subprime mortgages and fought off regulation through a well-funded, well-connected network of revolving-door consultants and lobbyists like Klain. But fannie mae wasn't Klain's only lobbying client.
Klain was also a lobbyist for ImClone, a pharmaceutical company that would be investigated by Congress for fraud. ImClone's founder and CEO, Sam Waksal, would be convicted for fraud.
Klain also lobbied on behalf of the Coalition for Asbestos Resolution, described by liberal critics as a "front group" for the GAF corporation, a roofing-materials manufacturer.

Q Research General #14512: Five Rallies Per Day Edition
Despite Its Five Felony Counts, the Federal Reserve Has Entrusted $2 Trillion in Bonds to JPMorgan Chase
Imagine that your neighbor across the street had been criminally charged with five felony counts for financial crimes in the past six years and admitted to committing each and every crime to the U.S. Department of Justice. Would you put one-third of all of your money in a safe, give that neighbor the combination, and ask him to hold the safe in his house for you? You would probably be suited up for a straight jacket if you did something like that. That's effectively what the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, has done when it comes to JPMorgan Chase. As of this past Wednesday, the Fed has a $7 trillion balance sheet and $2 trillion of its agency Mortgage-Backed Securities are sitting at JPMorgan Chase, the bank that the Department of Justice has charged with five criminal felony counts since 2014 - all of which it admitted to.
Since JPMorgan Chase first inked a contract with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on December 31, 2008, it has been the sole custodian of all of the agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) that the Fed had bought in its long-running Quantitative-Easing programs. The contract was updated on January 30, 2017 and continues to this day. We confirmed that fact with the New York Fed yesterday. As of this past Wednesday, JPMorgan Chase was holding $2,000,305,000,000 (principal amount) in MBS backed by fannie mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie mae that belongs to the Fed. The Fed apparently saw no need to find a new custodian for the $1.49 trillion of MBS that JPMorgan Chase was holding for the Fed on January 7, 2014 when the Justice Department charged the bank with two criminal counts for its role in the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme. The bank admitted to the charges; paid $1.7 billion into a Madoff victims fund; and was given a 3-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement and put on probation for the same period.
The Fed was apparently not worried about JPMorgan holding $1.7 trillion of the Fed's MBS on May 20, 2015 when the bank was charged with its third criminal felony count in less than a year and a half. On that occasion, JPMorgan Chase pleaded guilty to one criminal count brought by the Justice Department for its role with other banks in rigging the foreign exchange market. The bank paid a fine of $550 million and was put on probation again. And when the bank admitted to its fourth and fifth felony count on September 29 of this year, once again the Fed saw no reason to remove its $2 trillion in mortgage securities from the sticky palms of JPMorgan Chase. The latest felony counts, once again brought by the Justice Department, involved "tens of thousands of episodes of unlawful trading in the markets for precious metals futures contracts" and "thousands of episodes of unlawful trading in the markets for U.S. Treasury futures contracts and in the secondary (cash) market for U.S. Treasury notes and bonds," according to the Justice Department. The bank agreed to pay $920 million in fines and restitution to various regulators. It was given another Deferred Prosecution Agreement and put on probation for the third time.
Could this story get more outrageous? Yes it can. Not only did the Federal Reserve look the other way at five criminal felony counts, but it looked the other way as JPMorgan Chase was repeatedly charged with fraud involving the very same securities it was holding for the Fed. On November 15, 2013, JPMorgan Chase announced that it had agreed to pay $4.5 billion to settle claims by private investors that it had defrauded them in mortgage-backed securities. On November 19, 2013, JPMorgan agreed to pay $13 billion to settle claims by the Department of Justice, the FDIC, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and various State Attorneys General over its fraudulent practices involving mortgage-backed securities.

The Fed Now Owns Nearly One Third of All US Mortgages
Nearly $7 Trillion in Securities, $2 Trillion Mortgages
As of August 26, 2020 the Fed's Balance Sheet is nearly $7 trillion total of which $3.7 trillion are notes or bonds, and nearly $2 trillion in mortgages (fannie mae, Freddie Mac, or Ginnie mae).
No End in Sight to Fed's Mortgage Buying Spree
Bloomberg reports No End in Sight to Fed's Mortgage Buying Spree.
Key Points
The Fed has snapped up $1 trillion of mortgage bonds since March. It bought around $300 billion of the bonds in each of March and April, and since then has been buying about $100 billion a month.
The Fed now owns almost a third of bonds backed by home loans in the U.S.
Buying the securities has pushed mortgage rates lower, with the average 30-year rate falling to 2.91% as of last week from 3.3% in early February.
Morgan Stanley analysts pointed out in late March that the buying was running at eight times the pace seen in prior episodes of Fed purchasing under programs known as quantitative easing.
Just before this latest round, principal payments from its mortgage bond holdings had whittled that down to 21%, but it has now increased back to 30%.
If the Fed maintains its current buying pace, it will again own 34% of the mortgage universe by year's end.

Q Research General #13849: Some Will Take The Easy Path and Exit Early Edition
CFTC Nominee Traded Stocks, Options While in Government
WASHINGTON-President Trump's nominee to the agency that regulates the vast derivatives market is no stranger to risky bets.
Robert Bowes, a political appointee in the Department of Housing and Urban Development, has reported 140 trades of stocks and options that collectively amount to between $671,000 and $3.2 million since joining the government in early 2017. Three bets on options or individual stocks were larger than $50,000 each.
Disclosure forms filed by Mr. Bowes, a former banker and fund manager nominated by Mr. Trump to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, list wagers against cruise operator Royal Caribbean Group, bets on market volatility and purchases of small-cap stocks.
Ethics rules don't ban government officials from trading, as long as they steer clear of conflicts of interest and don't take advantage of inside information, which Mr. Bowes said he didn't. What was unusual, ethics experts said, was the frequency of his transactions, the high-stakes bets he sometimes made and the exotic securities he sometimes traded. On several occasions in 2018 and 2020, he bought and sold thousands of dollars of options on the same day.
"It is literally day trading," Robert Rizzi, a partner at law firm Steptoe & Johnson LLP who advises government officials and nominees on financial disclosure, said after reviewing Mr. Bowes's filings. "When they're in the government, a lot of them don't have time to do this, so it's pretty amazing that he's doing all this trading." Despite his investment activity, which continued into August of this year, Mr. Bowes listed no financial income, brokerage accounts or bank accounts on his year-end 2018 or 2019 financial disclosures.
In response to questions from The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Bowes said that he made a mistake on the 2018 filing and that his bank and brokerage-account balances at the end of 2019 were too low to require disclosure. Mr. Bowes, 59 years old, had a decades long career in finance as a vice president at Chase Manhattan Bank and a director of counterparty risk at government-backed housing-finance giant fannie mae.
A staffer on Mr. Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, Mr. Bowes was appointed senior adviser to HUD in January 2017 and has since held several positions within and outside the department, including stints as a policy adviser to Stephen Miller, a top aide to Mr. Trump, and in the Office of Personnel Management. In August, Mr. Trump nominated Mr. Bowes to a seat on the five-member CFTC, a financial regulator that oversees derivatives markets and enforces laws against insider trading and fraud.
If he is confirmed by the Senate Agriculture Committee, Republicans can maintain their 3-2 majority on the commission until 2022, giving them the chance to block tougher financial regulations if Joe Biden wins the presidential election in November and appoints a Democrat to head the commission. In his most recent role at HUD as director of faith-based initiatives, Mr. Bowes advocated a plan to shelter homeless residents of New Orleans on a Carnival Corp. cruise ship following the Covid-19 outbreak, despite being told by Housing Secretary Ben Carson to drop the idea, according to people familiar with the matter.
David Bottner, executive director of the New Orleans Mission, an evangelical Christian organization that supports the cruise-ship idea and hoped to manage it, said Mr. Bowes traveled to New Orleans a few months ago to discuss the plan with him. City officials were opposed to the idea, LaTonya Norton, a spokeswoman for the city said.
In June and July, Mr. Bowes reported 13 trades to buy or sell put options on shares of Royal Caribbean, RCL 7.70% a rival cruise operator. Several of the transactions were valued at between $15,000 and $50,000, his disclosure forms show. Put options give the holder the right to sell shares at a predetermined price and are typically used by investors to bet against a company's stock. It couldn't be determined whether Mr. Bowes made a profit or a loss on those trades. "HUD initially explored in May, June and July connecting the cruise-ship companies with the large homeless shelters operating in U.S. port cities," Mr. Bowes said, without specifying whether this was his idea. He added that he hadn't been involved in the plan since early July.

Horowitz: Venezuela in America: CDC to confiscate property rights with new anti-eviction order
"Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own." ~James Madison
Rational thought, constitutional rights, basic freedoms, and ability to breathe unmasked air have been axed at the altar of the coronavirus cult. Now, it appears that the CDC has the power to destroy the property rights of landlords and force them to house chosen classes of people on their property, contrary to contractual agreements. We fought a revolution over this issue.
On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced that the CDC will put a moratorium on all private lease evictions in the United States until December 31. Which, in this day and age, will likely mean that a government canceling of rent or evictions to some degree will be enshrined as a permanent policy of government.
After reading various headlines reporting the announcement, you might have thought this was referring to federally run housing units or at least rentals or mortgages backed by the federal government. Nope. The federal government is suspending all private rental evictions for individuals earning less than $99,000 or families earning less than $198,000. In other words, it is confiscating the private property rights of countless American businessmen who are struggling just as much as renters.
We have heard incessant accusations from this administration and other Republicans that Joe Biden and the Democrats will transform this country into a socialist hellhole. But if this order is not socialist, than the term has no meaning. At least the eviction cancellation provision of the CARES Act in March was passed by a legislative body and only applied to federally funded housing, such as mortgages backed by fannie mae and Freddie Mac. This is an unaccountable executive action governing strictly private contracts.
The order will formally be published in the Federal Register on Friday.
Extra shocking, this order comes at a time when government is handing out free funding to everyone. So if officials plan to keep the country afloat through servicing debt, why is there a need to harm landlords? With all the handouts going around, they should just give the tenants the money to pay the landlords. Now government is taking its redistribution scheme a step further by using citizens' private property for handouts.
"President Trump is committed to helping hardworking Americans stay in their homes and combating the spread of the coronavirus," White House deputy press secretary Brian Morgenstern said during a briefing announcing the order on Tuesday.

Renters in U.S. cannot be evicted through the end of the year due to coronavirus, CDC order states
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention implemented a temporary eviction moratorium through the end of the year, protecting U.S. renters from losing their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Trump administration announced Tuesday. The CDC's moratorium will apply to all rental units nationwide until Dec. 31 and goes into effect immediately, senior administration officials said of an unpublished CDC agency order. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told a U.S. House of Representatives panel Tuesday that the moratorium would cover around 40 million renters.
A previous federal eviction moratorium created by the CARES Act ended in late July and only applied to federally-funded housing, including rental units with mortgages backed by fannie mae FNMA, -1.33% and Freddie Mac FMCC, -1.78% . The moratorium will apply to any state in which there is not already a more protective ban in effect, according to the order. Multiple states have eviction moratoriums in place, including California, which established new rules in a late-night vote Monday.
Renters will be eligible for the moratorium's protection if they received an economic impact payment, or stimulus check, as provided for by the CARES Act. Therefore, single renters must earn no more than $99,000 a year, while couples filing jointly can earn up to $198,000 annually.

Federal eviction moratorium ends on Friday, putting more than 12.3 MILLION households - or 30% of all renters nationwide - at risk of being kicked out of their homes
A moratorium on evictions from homes with federally backed mortgages is set to expire on Friday, putting millions of households at risk of eviction as the economy continues to struggle under coronavirus shutdowns.
The eviction ban, part of the CARES Act passed in March, applies to tenants who rent in homes owned by a homeowner with a federally backed mortgage held by fannie mae or Freddie Mac.
The Urban Institute estimates that about 12.3 million households have been protected by the moratorium, or about 30 percent of all renters nationwide.
Once the moratorium lapses, landlords will be able to give their delinquent tenants 30 days' notice and then begin filing eviction paperwork in late August.

Number of Americans unable to pay full housing payment hit all-time high in July
About 19% of Americans made no housing payment at all during the first week of July
The number of Americans unable to make their full on-time housing payment hit a new high in July, as a resurgence in coronavirus cases threatened to derail the economy's nascent recovery.
Roughly one-third of households 32 percent have not made their complete housing payment in July, according to a survey published Wednesday by Apartment List, an online rental platform. That's up from 30 percent in June and 31 percent in May. About 19 percent of Americans made no housing payment at all during the first week of July, while 13 percent paid only a portion of their rent or mortgage.
It marked the fourth consecutive month that a "historically high" percentage of renters and homeowners were unable to pay their entire housing bill, according to the study. Renters, young and low-income households and residents in dense urban areas were the most likely to miss their payments. The report comes amid a rapid rise of COVID-19 cases; a spike in infections in California, Texas and Florida drove the U.S. to a new single-day record of infections, with 60,000 new cases reported. There are 3 million confirmed cases in the U.S., the most in the world.
"The number of new coronavirus cases has surged, and reopening plans have been paused or rolled back throughout the country, making clear that effects of the pandemic are far from behind us," the report said. "This continued economic hardship is having serious implications for housing security."
The federal eviction moratorium, which covers individuals in properties backed by fannie mae or Freddie Mac, has been extended until Aug. 31. In 2019, roughly 43 percent of new mortgages were federally backed. Homeowners with federally backed properties were granted a 60-day foreclosure moratorium through May 17, 2020. However, that was extended until "at least" Aug. 31, 2020.
There are roughly 4.2 million Americans in forbearance plans, according to a recent survey published by the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Q Research General #12560: Who is ActBlue Edition
- Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good: This political nonprofit group is dedicated to generating support from the Catholic community for leftwing candidates, causes, and legislation.
- Center for American Progress: This leftist think tank is headed by former Clinton chief of staff John Podesta, works closely with Hillary Clinton, and employs numerous former Clinton administration staffers. It is committed to "developing a long-term vision of a progressive America" and "providing a forum to generate new progressive ideas and policy proposals."
- Center for Community Change: This group recruits and trains activists to spearhead leftist "political issue campaigns." Promoting increased funding for social welfare programs by bringing "attention to major national issues related to poverty," the Center bases its training programs on the techniques taught by the famed radical organizer Saul Alinsky.
- Center for Constitutional Rights: This pro-Castro organization is a core member of the open borders lobby, has opposed virtually all post-9/11 anti-terrorism measures by the U.S. government, and alleges that American injustice provokes acts of international terrorism.
- Center for Economic and Policy Research: This group opposed welfare reform, supports "living wage" laws, rejects tax cuts, and consistently lauds the professed achievements of socialist regimes, most notably Venezuela.
- Center for International Policy: This organization uses advocacy, policy research, media outreach, and educational initiatives to promote "transparency and accountability" in U.S. foreign policy and global relations. It generally views America as a disruptive, negative force in the world.
- Center for Reproductive Rights: CRR's mission is to guarantee safe, affordable contraception and abortion-on-demand for all women, including adolescents. The organization has filed state and federal lawsuits demanding access to taxpayer-funded abortions (through Medicaid) for low-income women.
- Center for Responsible Lending: This organization was a major player in the subprime mortgage crisis. According to Phil Kerpen (vice president for policy at Americans for Prosperity), CRL "sh[ook] down and harass[ed] banks into making bad loans to unqualified borrowers." Moreover, CRL negotiated a contract enabling it to operate as a conduit of high-risk loans to fannie mae.
- Center on Budget and Policy Priorities: Reasoning from the premise that tax cuts generally help only the wealthy, this organization advocates greater tax expenditures on social welfare programs for low earners.
- Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS): Aiming to redistribute wealth by way of higher taxes imposed on those whose incomes are above average, COWS contends that "it is important that state government be able to harness fair contribution from all parts of society - including corporations and the wealthy."
- Change America Now: Formed in December 2006, Change America Now describes itself as "an independent political organization created to educate citizens on the failed policies of the Republican Congress and to contrast that record of failure with the promise offered by a Democratic agenda."

Supreme Court Rules Law Creating Director of CFPB Unconstitutional - Severs Removal Clause, Retains Agency
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CPFB) was originally created by congress (Elizabeth Warren lead) as a quasi-constitutional watchdog agency to reach into the banking and financial system, under the guise of oversight, and extract money by fining entities for CFPB defined regulatory and/or compliance violations. Essentially, the CFPB is a congressionally authorized far-left extortion scheme in the banking sector. The CFPB levies fines; the fines generate income; however, unlike traditional fines that go to the U.S. treasury, the CFBP fines are then redistributed to left-wing organizations to help fund their political activism. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) was the brainchild of Senator Elizabeth Warren as an outcome of the Dodd-Frank legislation. Within the CFPB Warren tried to set up the head of the agency, the Director, in a manner that that he/she would operate without oversight. Unfortunately, her dictatorial-fiat-design collapsed when challenged in court.
A federal court found the CFPB Director position held too much power and deemed it unconstitutional. The court decision noted that giving the President power to fire the Director would fix the constitutional problem. This issue was argued extensively after President Trump appointed Mick Mulvaney as interim Director. Elizabeth Warren declaring the CFPB Director could not be fired by the executive. The legal battle worked its way to the Supreme Court. ? Today the Supreme Court ruled the structure of the CFPB Director position is unconstitutional and the President can fire the head of the agency. However, SCOTUS kept the CFPB agency in place by severing the part of the law that created the agency head from the rest of the law. The CFPB remains as a quasi-constitutional agency; the CFPB remains an extortion racket to target any organization within the banking and finance sector; however, the president can fire and appoint the Director of the CFPB.
The decision could have significant implications for the future of the similarly structured Federal Housing Finance Agency, the overseer of mortgage giants fannie mae and Freddie Mac. like the head of the CFPB, the FHFA director is appointed to a five-year term and can only be removed for cause. ~ Politico

99. While under investigation and on leave, IRS Director of the Exempt Organizations Unit Lois Lerner was allowed access to IRS computers, which she continued to use.

101. The Obama IRS allowed illegal aliens to claim tax refunds, despite the aliens not paying taxes; the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reported that just four addresses in Atlanta, Georgia, received a combined total of 43,000 illegal-alien tax refunds worth $67,000,000.
102. The Obama IRS illegally applied greater scrutiny to charities connected to Israel.
103. Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which granted the federal government unlimited, unchecked, unconstitutional power in the financial sector; the law in no way addressed causes of the financial crisis, added massive regulatory burdens, and almost exterminated small and medium-sized banks.
104. Most of the boards created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act are unconstitutional in that these boards are granted arbitrary powers far beyond the ostensible purpose of the law.

108.

The Obama FBI created a covert nationwide data-mining operation for collecting telecommunications records of American citizens, based on a secret court ruling that also allowed the FBI to keep the records indefinitely; FBI Director Robert Mueller promised that the content of the phone calls and e-mails would examined only when there was probable cause and court orders by federal judges.
109. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) granted the Obama NSA sweeping new powers to collect surveillance data on American citizens not suspected of commtting crimes.
110.

115. Obama illegally waged war on Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi using the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), which states that the president can order SUSTAINED force only against "those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001"; the operation to overthrow Gaddafi lasted more than seven months.
116.

117. The Obama IRS-in reviewing applications from conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status-illegally and unconstitutionally categorized anti-Obama rhetoric as "propaganda."
118.

119. Obama's lack of transparency was so severe that 47 of his 73 inspectors general signed an open letter denouncing the administration's stonewalling of their investigations. [Ed. note: a repeat from Part Three.]

123. During the government shutdown, the Obama Departments of the Interior and Agriculture claimed that expensive new Websites had to be created in order to explain to the public that there was not enough money to run the department Websites.
124. During the government shutdown, the Obama administration illegally blocked tourists from visiting Normandy Beach and 24 other overseas cemeteries.

126. During the 2012 election season, the IRS provided the White House with confidential information on the Koch brothers and Mitt Romney; emails from Sarah Hall Ingram-IRS commissioner of the Tax Exempt and Government Entities Division-to health policy adviser Ellen Montz and deputy assistant to the president for health policy Jeanne Lambrew were marked "6103," indicating private taxpayer information.
127. During the government shutdown, the Obama Department of the Interior illegally ordered the closure of the privately owned Pisgah Inn, located on a private road in the Blue Ridge Mountains; park rangers blocked the entrance of the inn with their cars and forcibly turned away guests.
128. Almost 87 percent of ObamaCare waivers went to Obama's political allies and supporters.
129. The Obama Office of Personnel Management (OPM) created a training presentation that offered tips on how to cut corners when screening applicants for security clearances, which resulted in Washington Navy Yard mass shooter Aaron Alexis being hired despite an extensive criminal record; the OPM refused to turn over its documents to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.
130. The Obama Veterans Administration kept its wait lists secret from federal regulators and omitted delay times from official records; when allocated extra funds for addressing delays, the VA spent the money on bonuses for its employees.
131. The Census Bureau inflated the employment rate by continually re-hiring the same temporary workers.
132. The Obama Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) used mentally disabled teenagers to advertise businesses that were actually fronts for ATF sting operations; many of these teenagers were urged to get neck tattoos with the name of the fake business.
133.

134. Obama illegally exempted Congress and congressional staffers from ObamaCare, illegally delayed and rewrote key ObamaCare provisions, and illegally exempted unions from fees levied on all other large group health-care plans.
135. The Obama IRS illegally issued a rule that allowed ObamaCare subsidies and fines for plans that originated in a State Exchange, regional Exchange, subsidiary Exchange, or federally facilitated Exchange; ObamaCare allows subsidies and fines only through state Exchanges.

137. The Obama Department of Education, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, Federal Trade Commission, and Securities and Exchange Commission tried to destroy all for-profit colleges; Senators Elizabeth Warren and Dick Durbin joined in the effort, which resulted in the closure of more than 1200 campuses, leading to a dramatic shortage of higher-education institutions in the US and stranding more than 500,000 students, most of who were older and/or low income.
138. Obama publicly announced that the transparency in coverage provisions of ObamaCare would not be enforced; these provisions required insurers to disclose data on enrollment, denied claims, and the costs to consumers for certain services.
139. Obama and Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is considered the most powerful, least-accountable, most constitutionally questionable government agency; members of Congress are refused entry into advisory meetings.
140. Black employees of Obama and Elizabeth Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) testified at a House Financial Services subcommittee hearing that the CFPB is crippled by systemic racism; the primarily black intake unit was called the "plantation," and black employees were mocked and retaliated against when they complained of mistreatment.
141. The George W. Bush and Obama Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted illegal human experimentation on financially needy people who were paid $12 an hour without being informed of the risks; subjects at the University of North Carolina's School of Medicine-many of whom suffered from asthma, metabolic syndrome, and aging-were exposed to very high levels of toxic air pollutants.
142. Obama Attorney General Eric Holder used the much more lax Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) rules in order to spy on American journalists; under domestic spying laws, he could not have done this.
143. The Obama Department of Justice and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation launched Operation Choke Point, designed to prevent banks from doing business with industries that the government opposed; at the whim of FDIC examiners, banks were forced to pay millions in "settlements" until they severed their relationships with industries "at high risk for fraud and money laundering."
144. The Obama Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued Kaplan Higher Education Corporation, claiming that Kaplan's use of credit reports had a disparate impact on black applicants; the suit was thrown out, and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed, noting that the EEOC used the same type of background check for which it had sued Kaplan.

146. Obama illegally increased workplace benefits and protections for all workers at private companies that held federal contracts.

149. The Obama IRS told Congress that it had done everything to find Lois Lerner's "lost" emails but had come up empty; the IRS independent inspector general reported that it easily found the messages on backup tapes stored at remote locations, and that the IRS never bothered to look.
150. The Obama and Elizabeth Warren Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) spent more than $215 million renovating its temporary office, $120 million over the initial estimate; the cost was $590 per square foot, compared to $334 per square foot to build Trump Tower.
151. ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber said that the federal government was deliberately slow in providing a "backstop" for state health-care exchanges; this was a calculated effort to force all states to create exchanges, since citizens in states without exchanges got no tax credits but were required to pay for ObamaCare regardless.
152. Obama illegally imposed a health-insurance providers' fee on states that use managed-care organizations to provide Medicaid services; the Actuarial Standards Board (ASB) of the American Academy of Actuaries-a private organization-was authorized to illegally determine the fee levied on each state.
153. The Obama Department of Justice illegally applied the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to pregnancy; companies and municipalities that did not make accommodations for pregnancy were sued and allowed to settle out of court.
154. Obama illegally used an executive-branch memorandum to implement the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) after Congress would not pass his immigration reform; the memorandum effectively legalized millions of undocumented immigrants.
155. Obama illegally used an executive-branch memorandum to implement the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans (DAPA) after Congress would not pass his immigration reform; like DACA, the memorandum violated the Administrative Procedure Act, immigration law, and the Constitution's Take Care Clause.
156. ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber said on video that the law passed thanks to "the stupidity of the American people"; the White House insisted that he did not have an official role crafting ObamaCare, although emails showed that he did.
157. Obama State Department chief of staff and counselor Cheryl Mills was Hillary Clinton's top aide at the same time that she general counsel for New York University and sat on the board of the NYU in Abu Dhabi Corporation; these were criminal conflicts of interest that went entirely unreported and were explained as being "printing errors."
158. The Obama State Department insisted that Hillary Clinton turned over all of her work-related email, but John Podesta's emails showed that Clinton had omitted many messages related to Libya.
159. The Election Crimes Branch (ECB) of the Obama Department of Justice met with IRS director of the Exempt Organizations Unit Lois Lerner in 2010, two years before the IRS conceded there was inappropriate targeting; the ECB and Lerner discussed how to criminally prosecute tax-exempt entities.
160. As part of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)-the Iranian nuclear deal-the Obama administration worked out a "side deal" not announced to the public; this part of the plan allowed Iran to inspect its own nuclear sites.
161. The Obama EPA illegally imposed the Clean Water Rule, claiming jurisdiction over all bodies of water in the US; three times, the Supreme Court has ruled that for the EPA to have regulatory authority, there must be a connection between the location regulated and navigable waters, but the EPA dismissed the entire concept of "navigable."
162. The Obama EPA illegally engaged in "covert propaganda" by creating a social-media campaign on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Thunderclap, and other platforms in support of the Clean Water Rule; the EPA hid the fact that the messages originated with the agency.
163. The Obama National Security Agency (NSA) continued intense surveillance of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, despite Obama's promise to stop; in the process, the NSA illegally spied on US members of Congress, and the White House illegally obtained the intelligence without making a formal request.
164. The Obama Treasury Department secretly issued a waiver to an Omani ban, allowing it to violate US sanctions against Iran; the effort failed because American banks refused to participate despite intense pressure from the Treasury Department.
165. The Obama EPA blamed state and local officials for the Flint, Michigan, water crisis, but the agency had known of the problem for seven months, after a regulations manager in the EPA's ground water and drinking water branch had warned his bosses of the high levels of lead in the water; the EPA claimed that it lacked the authority to do anything about the crisis or even announce it.
166. The Obama administration denied 77 percent of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, the highest such rate in American history.
167. The Obama Department of Agriculture (USDA) illegally fined public schools not following Michelle Obama's lunch rules, which had no force of law.
168. Obama IRS Commissioner John Koskinen testified to Congress that the IRS encouraged illegal aliens to use fraudulent Social Security numbers and identify theft to find jobs; this was considered a "good" misuse of American citizens' personal data as opposed to a "bad" misuse.
169. The Obama EPA illegally imposed nationwide cap and trade after Congress rejected it; the four-stage process emphatically and openly contradicted the express will of Congress.
170. After the Obama administration's new rules put the for-profit University of Phoenix out of business, an investment firm run by Obama's best friend Marty Nesbitt lobbied the Education Department to approve its purchase of the school; Nesbitt's Vistria Group bought the University of Phoenix and immediately changed it from a publicly traded company to a private, meaning that the school is not required to file regular public reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
171. The Obama Department of Justice unconstitutionally sued colleges for posting materials online, saying that it violates the Americans with Disabilities act (ADA); colleges and universities were required to provide text-to-speech functions for all materials so that blind students would not experience discrimination.
172. Obama Secretary of State Hillary Clinton gave 194 State Department appointments to people who had donated to the Clinton Foundation.
173. The Obama Education Department's Office of Civil Rights illegally created a "national blueprint" for tackling sexual harassment on college and university campuses; the schools were to ban "unwelcome" speech and create judicial procedures that denied legal representation, encouraged punishment before trial, and convicted defendants based on a "more likely than not" standard.
174. The Obama Veterans Administration spent more than $1.7 billion on a hospital in Denver, Colorado; the initial budget was $328 million, but cost overruns of $1.4 billion were the result of massive fraud, payoffs, and a wildly ornate style that led House Veterans' Affairs Committee chairman Jeff Miller (R-Fla) to call the project the biggest construction failure in the history of the agency.
175. The Obama Department of Justice granted State Department chief of staff and Hillary aide Cheryl Mills immunity; as a result, when the FBI asked her about the destruction of subpoenaed documents, Mills simply got up and walked out of the interview.

177. The Obama State Department gave priority after the 2010 Haiti earthquake to aid contractors marked "FOB" for "Friends of Bill [Clinton]; other aid contractors were labeled "WJC VIPs" for "William Jefferson Clinton VIPs."
178. The Obama State Department recruited SAE-A, a Korean garment company, to build a factory in Caracol, Haiti, after the 2010 earthquake; the Korean firm became a Clinton Foundation donor, its owner invested in a startup company owned by Hillary Clinton's former chief of staff, the factory has underdelivered on projected jobs, and Haitian workers say they are abused and sexually harassed.
179. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)-created by Elizabeth Warren for Obama-has argued to the Supreme Court that its own structure is unconstitutional because the president can't remove the director unless he "proves good cause"; this provision violates the separation of powers doctrine by interfering with the president's executive authority.
180. James Baker, the General Counsel of the Obama FBI, secretly worked with Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann of Perkins Cole to prepare the surveillance warrant for Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
181. The Obama EPA and a subcontractor accidentally released 3 million gallons of toxic waste into Cement Creek, polluting waterways in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and the Navajo Nation; the EPA did not notify the states of the accident for more than a day, and the EPA employee in charge knew beforehand that a spill was very likely.

185. Obama unconstitutionally made the US a state party to the Paris Agreement drawn up by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC); the American president has no constitutional power to unilaterally commit the country to international agreements, even if such agreements are non-binding.

190.

195. Former Obama administration intelligence and national security official Cameron Hudson oversaw a United States Holocaust Memorial Museum study on Obama's Syria policy; the study was retracted after it absolved Obama by using a "computational-modeling algorithmic counterfactual analysis" that determined that inaction was the only course of action.
196. Former Obama campaign ad agency GMMB received nearly $60 million in federal contracts, 75 percent of which came from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) created by Senator Elizabeth Warren; Bill Clinton's Corporation for National and Community Service awarded GMMB $13 million in contracts.

Q Research General #11736: Patriots Are In Control Edition
Freddie Mac And fannie mae Extend Ban On Evictions And Foreclosures Until June 30
The Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees the government-sponsored mortgage buying companies, fannie mae and Freddie Mac, announced today an extension of the federal halt on evictions and foreclosures.
The moratorium is now to last until at least June 30. It was poised to expire this Sunday.
"During this national health emergency, no one should be forced from their home," said FHFA Director Mark Calabria. "Extending the foreclosure and eviction moratoriums protects homeowners and renters with an Enterprise-backed mortgage and provides certainty for families."
The ban on evictions and foreclosures pertains only to properties with government-backed mortgages, which make up about 70% of all home loans.
The extensions comes a day before the U.S. House of Representatives votes on a sweeping stimulus package - the HEROES Act - that, if passed into law, would institute a stop to residential evictions for a year and to foreclosures for six months. The rule would cover both government-secured as well as private home loans. Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, many state and local governments have put in place their own eviction and foreclosure bans, which, in some cases are stricter and last longer than what the federal government has adopted.
According to real estate data firm, ATTOM Data, there were a little over 14,000 properties in the U.S. with foreclosure filings in April, down a striking 70% from March and 75% from a year ago. Because of the federal halt on mortgages owned by Freddie Mac, fannie mae and the HUD, among several other agencies, the April foreclosure numbers are the lowest ATTOM Data has ever recorded, the company said.
"Foreclosure cases dropped dramatically last month following the foreclosure moratorium imposed on lenders holding federally backed mortgages," said Todd Teta, chief product officer with ATTOM Data Solutions. "It's hard to know how much this reflects the virus pandemic because the data doesn't say whether these were cases caused by very recent job losses or were already filed before that. What can be said is that the drop-off will almost certainly be temporary. And when it's lifted, we should be able to more clearly measure how deeply the pandemic fallout is affecting homeowners.
States that experienced the sharpest drop in foreclosure starts are Georgia (down 85%), North Carolina (84%), Florida (83%), Michigan (82%) and Colorado (81%).
Despite the overall decline, some counties - mostly in California - actually saw a spike in foreclosure initiations. These included Marin (up 76%), Monterey (425) and Solano Counties (36%), all in California as well as Mesa County (40%) in Colorado and Hillsborough County (18%) in Florida.
At the same time, lenders repossessed about 2,500 properties last month, down 71% from March and 76% from a year ago, which ATTOM Data says is the lowest level ever. While percentage-wise the repossessions are in record low territory, by the numbers, they are the greatest in Florida, Illinois, California, Texas and Georgia.

Q Research General #11707: Welcome Back General Flynn Edition
U.S. federal court tells SEC, Justice Dept to review RBS whistleblower case
The U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission must review whether an ex-Royal Bank of Scotland employee is owed a whistleblower payout and provide documents relating to his case, a federal U.S. court said on Tuesday. The U.S. Second Circuit Appeals Court decision could set an important precedent for other whistle-blowers who say they have been unjustly denied bounties under the SEC's program to reward tipsters. Former RBS risk manager Victor Hong sued the agencies in February alleging they flouted the law "in bad faith" when assessing whether he was due a payout for helping federal probes into the British bank's mis-selling of mortgage bonds in the run-up to the 2007-08 financial crisis. In August 2018, RBS agreed to pay $4.9 billion to end the probes, which were led by the Justice Department. No portion of that fine has ever been deemed eligible for a reward under the whistleblower program, public records show.
Hong had asked the court to compel the SEC and the Justice Department to produce all records relating to the RBS settlement and to deem it eligible for a potential tipster reward, according to the filings, which Reuters has reviewed. The Justice Department and SEC have not said publicly why the RBS settlement was deemed ineligible. The SEC declined to comment while the Justice Department did not immediately provide comment. In a Jan. 30 filing the Justice Department asked that the court dismiss the petition against the agency on the grounds that the SEC was "the only appropriate respondent" but on Tuesday the court denied that request. Established by the 2010 Dodd Frank Act after the financial crisis, the whistleblower program has resulted in more than $2 billion in penalties and $450 million in rewards, SEC data shows. Currently, the SEC can reward tipsters whose original information leads to a penalty exceeding $1 million with rewards of between 10% and 30% of the fine.
It may also pay a reward in related enforcement actions brought by other agencies provided the settlement was based on the same information the tipster originally gave the SEC. In a March filing, the SEC said it had not considered Hong's argument that the Justice Department settlement was a related enforcement action but could do so if the court were to return the case to the SEC for review.
The court on Tuesday said it granted the SEC's request to review the case, based on its "representation that it will, in good faith … address [Hong's] arguments regarding the record and its rejection of his application."
A former managing director of risk management at RBS's U.S. operations, Hong resigned two months into the job after discovering billions of dollars of mortgage bonds had been miss-priced. He first approached the SEC and Justice Department offering information in December 2007, according to the filings.
He later met with Justice Department officials in December 2014, and provided testimony and documents, according to the filings which include copies of subpoenas, Hong's formal SEC tip, and emails with Justice Department officials. The filings suggest Hong's information also "significantly" contributed to the success of a separate $5.5 billion settlement RBS agreed with the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) in 2017 on behalf of housing finance giants fannie mae and Freddie Mac which had bought mortgage bonds from RBS. Hong also asked the court to deem that settlement a related action eligible for a reward, the filings show. It was not clear on Tuesday if the SEC would factor that settlement in to its review. The FHFA did not immediately provide comment.
The SEC may deny claims for a range of reasons, including that the tip did not offer new information or prompt any action.

Q Research General #11619: The Muffins Are Pretty Salty Today Edition
Uh Lads…. I think FHFA just flipped the script on the "China Virus".
Out of the blue, fannie mae FNMA shows up with 88 billion in cash or cash equivalents on their 10Q.
Where did it come from?
One current theory is that they sold bonds to cover for forbearance from the China Virus.
If so, and the downturn does not last, they will be recapitalized…. BOOM!
Turning Lemons into Lemonade? Pic is pinned tweet from his account. Related?
Backstory:
Remember the '08 Housing crash?
Supposedly the Mortgage GSE'S (Government sponsored enterprises) that are entity established to enhance the flow of credit to specific sectors of the American economy, in this case the mortgage industry, FNMA (fannie mae) and FMCC (Freddie Mac) became insolvent in the crash.
There's plenty of controversy surrounding that declaration by the Bush Administration and funny accounting has been the substance of numerous law suits.
But either way, what happened illegally or not (though it was obviously illegal to anyone with half a brain), was that the companies were nationalized.
So they've been under the conservatorship of the FHFA. Under FHFA, the funny accounting was reversed and the entities became hugely profitable. So during Obama administration, they pulled the cash out and spent it.
The Secretary of Treasury Mnuchin stated once during an interview, it was used to fund Obamacare. Rather that can be proven, I don't know.
But under Trump administration, POTUS placed Dr. Mark Calabria into the position to lead the FHFA and this conservatorship of fannie and Freddie. Of which there has been a plan to recapitalize and release them back into private hands.
Well, the China Virus was supposed to crash us again and hurt the process of releasing the GSE'S and cause generalized shockwaves through the economy.
But (they) couldn't kill the GSE's during the Bush and Obama years, though they tried. And because Calabria strengthened their books during his term, fannie even turned a slight profit in Q1 of this Plandemic and was prepared for up to ~ 12 or so weeks of shutdown per Mr. Calabria.

At Least 2 Million U.S. Households Behind On Their Mortgage Payments
KEY POINTS
The percentage of U.S. mortgages in forbearance amounted to 3.74% in the week ended Apr. 5
Almost 17 million Americans have filed for unemployment claims in recent weeks
Mortgages which are not federally backed do not fall under the protection of the CARES Act
Millions of American households have fallen behind on their mortgage payments
The Mortgage Bankers Association, or MBA, said the percentage of U.S. mortgages in forbearance amounted to 3.74% in the week ended Apr. 5 - which means some 2 million households fell behind on their mortgage payments - up from 2.73% in the prior week.
In comparison, only 0.25% of all mortgages were in forbearance for the week ended Mar. 2.
As the coronavirus pandemic has shut down untold numbers of businesses and thrown millions out of work, more mortgage borrowers are asking lenders for a respite from their mortgage obligations.
Almost 17 million Americans have filed for unemployment claims in recent weeks.
MBA noted that mortgages securitized by Government National Mortgage Association, or Ginnie mae, had the highest forbearance rate of 5.89% – a 1.58% jump from the prior week.
Forbearance on loans backed by the Federal National Mortgage Association, or fannie mae, and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, or Freddie Mac, jumped to a rate of 2.44% in the latest week.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and. Economic Security, or CARES Act, allows borrowers with federally-backed mortgages to receive forbearance for up to 12 months without incurring late fees or penalties. (Mortgages which are not federally backed do not fall under the protection of the CARES Act.)
MBA also stated that loans backed by independent mortgage banks had a 4.17% forbearance rate, while banks posted a 3.63% forbearance share.
"The nationwide shutdown of the economy to slow the spread of COVID-19 continues to create hardships for millions of households, and more are contacting their [loan] servicers for relief," said Mike Fratantoni, MBA's senior vice president and chief economist. "The share of loans in forbearance grew the first week of April, and forbearance requests and [lender] call center volume further increased. With [virus] mitigation efforts seemingly in place for at least several more weeks, job losses will continue and the number of borrowers asking for forbearance will likely continue to rise at a rapid pace."

"Mortgage Forbearance" is Suddenly Hot, Hits Shadow Banks, which Clamor for Bailout from Taxpayers and the Fed
April 10, 2020
The Government-Sponsored Enterprises fannie mae and Freddie Mac, and the government agency Ginnie mae, which guarantee $7.5 trillion in mortgages and turn them into mortgage-backed securities (MBS), have rolled out a wide-ranging support package for homeowners with mortgages that they guarantee, in order to keep the mortgage market from collapsing.

Fed says it will provide financing against new U.S. 'payroll protection' loans
The Federal Reserve on Monday moved to bolster a new small-business lending program by allowing banks to turn those loans over to the U.S. central bank for cash, easing concerns among banks about getting stuck holding the low interest loans.
The Fed said it would announce details later this week of a new term financing arrangement for loans made under what is known as the Payroll Protection Program, part of the federal response to the economic effects of the chinavirus pandemic.
Term financing facilities have been a staple of the Fed's crisis response, encouraging banks to make loans for a variety of purposes with the understanding that they could turn them over to the central bank, get cash and continue lending.
The program is similar to the arrangement the U.S. government has with mortgage agencies like fannie mae and Freddie Mac, whose stamp of approval on a loan makes banks more willing to lend. In this case the very existence of the Fed program - assuring banks they could unload the Small Business Administration loans when they want - could make the program more attractive to lenders, given the fees of up to 5% banks can earn for what now amounts to processing the paperwork.
The Payroll Protection Program is one of the key measures adopted as part of a more than $2 trillion effort to offset the economic impact of the coronavirus crisis, which has forced large portions of the U.S. economy to shutter. It dedicates $350 billion for loans so small businesses can keep paying workers and meet basic expenses like rent.
The rollout of the program has been fitful, however. Some bankers have said they remain unclear about their potential risks if the loans go bad - even though the Treasury Department has said it would guarantee them in most instances. Bankers also have been concerned about holding onto the 1% interest loans even though the Treasury last week said they could be sold back to the SBA after seven weeks. The Fed is working on a separate Main Street Lending Facility expected to focus on mid-sized employers with between 500 and 10,000 workers.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell is to provide an update on the economy on Thursday in a webcast speech hosted by the Brookings Institution, a Washington-based think tank.

The SP500 remains decidedly below it's average: 3,991,892,636 vs DA of 5,313,783,015. This is still not a place for the meek.

This is the only game in the world though and the market is a fickle old hag so please tread lightly. Too bad Neon Revolt never realized that. Major fail buddy! ;)
World stock markets jumped on Monday, encouraged by a slowdown in coronavirus-related deaths and new cases in some global hot spots, oil prices tumbled again due to a delay in talks between Saudi Arabia and Russia to cut supply. The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 3.73% and MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe gained 4.95%. Emerging market stocks rose 2.56%. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 2.78% higher, while Japan's Nikkei rose 4.24%. Markets in mainland China were closed for a public holiday.
Boeing gained more than 19% to lead the Dow higher. Raytheon Technologies, American Express and Visa rose more than 11% each. The S&P 500 was led higher by the utilities, consumer discretionary and tech sectors, all of which closed more than 7% higher. Retail stocks such as Nordstrom, Kohl's and Macy's also rose sharply. In oil markets, prices were still down after a key meeting got postponed. West Texas Intermediate futures fell 8% to $26.08 per barrel. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Moscow was ready to coordinate with other oil exporting countries to help stabilize the market and the OPEC+ meeting was delayed for technical reasons.
The market was weighed down by a report from data provider Genscape that inventories at the Cushing storage hub in Oklahoma, the delivery point for WTI, rose by about 5.8 million barrels last week, traders said. Gold futures finally broke above (and held above) $1700 today and silver broke above $15 on the COMEX close but drifted just below it on the equity close- +0.61 +4.28% current. Futures are solidly above spot as contango is starting to show up in the fake COMEX trade and the real physical availability. treasury's had no bid whatsoever so yields drifted higher throughout the day. 10Y yields up most (+7.5bps). The Dollar index basically ended up where it closed on friday.

Wells Fargo Curtails Jumbo Loans Amid Market Turmoil
WFC substantially curtailed its program for making large loans this week, one of the most pronounced signs yet of how the recent market turmoil is cutting off access to some types of mortgages.
America's largest mortgage lender will only refinance jumbo mortgages for customers who hold at least $250,000 in liquid assets with the bank, according to a bank spokesman. The change is effective immediately.
That means that a customer who already has a jumbo loan with Wells Fargo can't refinance to take advantage of falling rates unless they keep money with the bank. The bank hasn't changed policies for loans used to purchase properties.
A jumbo loan is one considered too big to be sold to government mortgage corporations fannie mae and Freddie Mac. In most markets, it must be larger than $510,400 this year, but in the highest-cost areas it must be larger than $ 765,600.
WFC extended more residential mortgages than any other lender last year, according to industry-research group Inside Mortgage Finance.'
It was also the biggest lender for jumbo loans, extending some $70 billion of them in 2019.
Conventional loans that are guaranteed by fannie mae or Freddie Mac are still widely available. But loans without government backing, like jumbo loans, have been harder to come by during the recent market fluctuations because there has been limited appetite for investors to buy these loans.
Reflecting this, the average interest rate on a 30-year jumbo mortgage on Friday was 3.86%, well above the 3.44% on a conforming mortgage, according to indexes kept by Optimal Blue LLC. These are typically closely aligned during more normal periods.
Some banks don't sell jumbo loans to investors, but rather keep them on their balance sheets.
Wells Fargo faces limitations on its ability to do so. Since 2018, the Federal Reserve has capped the bank's total assets because of risk- management failures tied to its fake-accounts scandal. That gives it limited flexibility to make loans that it holds onto.
The bank also said earlier this week that it would stop purchasing all jumbo loans made by third-party mortgage bankers. Its third-party mortgage business, known as correspondent lending, amounted to about one fifth of its total business in the final three months of 2019, according to Inside Mortgage Finance.

Federal Reserve Bank of New York Reverse Repo: March 31st 2020
$284.908B with 53 counter-parties.
When the Federal Reserve conducts an overnight Reverse Repo Agreement, it sells a security to an eligible counter-party (the primary dealers plus whoever else shows up now-see below) and simultaneously agrees to buy the security back the next day
moar on overall RRP's
Reverse Repo
A reverse repurchase agreement (RRP) is an act of buying securities with the intention of returning-reselling-those same assets back in the future at a profit. This process is the opposite side of the coin to the repurchase agreement. To the party selling the security with the agreement to buy it back, it is a repurchase agreement. To the party buying the security and agreeing to sell it back, it is a reverse repurchase agreement. The reverse repo is the final step in the repurchase agreement closing the contract.
In a repurchase agreement, a dealer sells securities to a counterparty with the agreement to buy them back at a higher price at a later date. The dealer is raising short-term funds at a favorable interest rate with little risk of loss. The transaction is completed with a reverse repo. That is, the counterparty has sold them back to the dealer as agreed.
The counterparty earns interest on the transaction in the form of the higher price of selling the securities back to the dealer. The counter-party also gets the temporary use of the securities.

All of the END OF FED Hysteria looks to me like it's misplaced as this is NOT what seems to be happening.
Take Note of the Bolded part in the middle of following Article (included for context).
This slight of hand does NOT get rid of the Fed; it puts the Treasury on the hook for first losses, which means that the Treasury will take the hit INSTEAD of the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is still the bank loaning the money, but puts the Treasury in the position of loosing the money instead of the FED.
It looks to me like if the Treasury did not have the money to pay bank the FED (the loaning bank), THEN the FED will foreclose on the Treasury (which is our Government) and our Country.
The way things sit right now, the FED has been printing money out of thin air, and THEY are on the hook, if anybody is.
By the FED giving the printing press to the Treasury, the Treasury becomes the one printing the money and holding liability for it.
The Fed isn't ceasing to exist, it is simply avoiding the first loss position by giving it to the Treasury! WTF?
The Treasury is going to print the money, and yet the money printed plus any interest accrued will still be due to the FED (loaning bank). WTF?
The other issue that should quell the over exuberance about all this, is the involvement of BlackRock Inc. being in the middle of the Fed and the Treasury.
Any anons here from the beginning, know that BlackRock Inc. was dug and found to be a cabal run investment firm. How can this possibly be a good thing?
I'm skeptical and not wanting to be. Someone please give me a reason to change my mind.
I simply can not see what is creating all the optimistic hysteria about these recent developments.

The Fed's Cure Risks Being Worse Than the Disease
An alphabet soup of new asset-buying programs will essentially nationalize large swaths of the financial markets, and the consequences could be profound.
By Jim Bianco March 27, 2020, 7:00 AM EDT
The Fed took unprecedented action to meet an unprecedented crisis. Is it dangerous?
.
.
.
But it's the alphabet soup of new programs that deserve special consideration, as they could have profound long-term consequences for the functioning of the Fed and the allocation of capital in financial markets. Specifically, these are:
CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility) - buying commercial paper from the issuer.
PMCCF (Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds from the issuer.
TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) - funding backstop for asset-backed securities.
SMCCF (Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds and bond ETFs in the secondary market.
MSBLP (Main Street Business Lending Program) - Details are to come, but it will lend to eligible small and medium-size businesses, complementing efforts by the Small Business Association.
To put it bluntly, the Fed isn't allowed to do any of this. The central bank is only allowed to purchase or lend against securities that have government guarantee. This includes Treasury securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and the debt issued by fannie mae and Freddie Mac. An argument can be made that can also include municipal securities, but nothing in the laundry list above.
So how can they do this? The Fed will finance a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for each acronym to conduct these operations. The Treasury, using the Exchange Stabilization Fund, will make an equity investment in each SPV and be in a "first loss" position. What does this mean? In essence, the Treasury, not the Fed, is buying all these securities and backstopping of loans; the Fed is acting as banker and providing financing. The Fed hired BlackRock Inc. to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the SPVs on behalf of the owner, the Treasury.
'''In other words, the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets.
The Fed is providing the money to do it. BlackRock will be doing the trades.'''
.
.
In effect, the Fed is giving the Treasury access to its printing press. This means that, in the extreme, the administration would be free to use its control, not the Fed's control, of these SPVs to instruct the Fed to print more money so it could buy securities and hand out loans in an effort to ramp financial markets higher going into the election. Why stop there? Should Trump win re-election, he could try to use these SPVs to get those 10,000 Dow Jones points he feels the Fed has denied everyone.

Fed Set to Dial Back Pace of QE Treasury Buying Next Thursday
Says it will trim Treasury purchases to $60 billion April 2-3. The Federal Reserve will slow the pace at which it buys Treasuries under its unlimited quantitative easing program.
The U.S. central bank, which has been aggressively purchasing Treasuries for the past two weeks in a bid to offset the economic and market fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, on Friday said that it would dial back the daily pace of buying to $60 billion next Thursday and Friday. It will continue purchasing at the existing pace of $75 billion a day for the first three days of next week.The central bank announced its return to quantitative easing earlier this month as virus concerns ripped through global markets and the prospects for the global economy cratered. And this past Monday it declared that it would purchase assets "in the amounts needed to support the smooth functioning of markets." It has bought Treasuries at a steady clip of $75 billion a day since then, although there was some talk in the market that the monetary authority might look to ease back.
At this pace the Fed will have bought almost $1 trillion dollars of Treasuries by end of next week.

but they are increasing the amounts of Mortgage Backed Securities they take-announced yesterday
'''Statement Regarding Agency Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities Operations
March 26, 2020'''
Effective March 23, 2020, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) directed the Open Market Trading Desk (the Desk) at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to increase the System Open Market Account (SOMA) holdings of agency mortgage-backed securities in the amounts needed to support smooth market functioning. The FOMC directed the Desk to include purchases of agency commercial mortgage-backed securities (agency CMBS) in such purchases.
The Desk will conduct its first purchase of agency CMBS on Friday March 27, 2020 with a deadline to submit offers to its investment manager at 11:00 am ET.
In this operation, the Desk will purchase up to $1 billion of fixed rate fannie mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing (FNMA DUS) pools, with a 10 year loan term, a yield maintenance protection term of 9.5 years (FNMA DUS 10/9.5), and a weighted average life greater than or equal to 7 years. The Desk, through its investment manager, will solicit offers from primary dealers and will purchase up to $1 billion in total, subject to reasonable market prices. The minimum lot size per CUSIP for this operation is $5 million in current face value.
Next week, the Desk anticipates three operations on Tuesday March 31, 2020, Thursday April 2, 2020, and Friday April 3, 2020 for a tentative total purchase amount of approximately $3 billion. Purchases will be made across fixed-rate FNMA DUS pools, fixed-rate Freddie Mac K-series Deals, and Ginnie mae Project Loan pools. The details for each operation will be disclosed one day prior to the operation. The term sheet for agency CMBS purchases can be found here.
The Desk will continue to adjust the schedule, size, and composition of purchases as appropriate to support smooth market functioning of agency CMBS markets.

(Bloomberg Opinion) – The economic debate of the day centers on whether the cure of an economic shutdown is worse than the disease of the virus. Similarly, we need to ask if the cure of the Federal Reserve getting so deeply into corporate bonds, asset-backed securities, commercial paper, and exchange-traded funds is worse than the disease seizing financial markets. It may be.
In just these past few weeks, the Fed has cut rates by 150 basis points to near zero and run through its entire 2008 crisis handbook. That wasn't enough to calm markets, though - so the central bank also announced $1 trillion a day in repurchase agreements and unlimited quantitative easing, which includes a hard-to-understand $625 billion of bond buying a week going forward. At this rate, the Fed will own two-thirds of the Treasury market in a year.
But it's the alphabet soup of new programs that deserve special consideration, as they could have profound long-term consequences for the functioning of the Fed and the allocation of capital in financial markets. Specifically, these are:
CPFF (Commercial Paper Funding Facility) - buying commercial paper from the issuer. PMCCF (Primary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds from the issuer. TALF (Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility) - funding backstop for asset-backed securities. SMCCF (Secondary Market Corporate Credit Facility) - buying corporate bonds and bond ETFs in the secondary market. MSBLP (Main Street Business Lending Program) - Details are to come, but it will lend to eligible small and medium-size businesses, complementing efforts by the Small Business Association.
To put it bluntly, the Fed isn't allowed to do any of this. The central bank is only allowed to purchase or lend against securities that have government guarantee. This includes Treasury securities, agency mortgage-backed securities and the debt issued by fannie mae and Freddie Mac. An argument can be made that can also include municipal securities, but nothing in the laundry list above.
So how can they do this? The Fed will finance a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for each acronym to conduct these operations. The Treasury, using the Exchange Stabilization Fund, will make an equity investment in each SPV and be in a "first loss" position. What does this mean? In essence, the Treasury, not the Fed, is buying all these securities and backstopping of loans; the Fed is acting as banker and providing financing. The Fed hired BlackRock Inc. to purchase these securities and handle the administration of the SPVs on behalf of the owner, the Treasury.
In other words, the federal government is nationalizing large swaths of the financial markets. The Fed is providing the money to do it. BlackRock will be doing the trades.
This scheme essentially merges the Fed and Treasury into one organization. So, meet your new Fed chairman, Donald J. Trump.
In 2008 when something similar was done, it was on a smaller scale. Since few understood it, the Bush and Obama administrations ceded total control of those acronym programs to then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. He unwound them at the first available opportunity. But now, 12 years later, we have a much better understanding of how they work. And we have a president who has made it very clear how displeased he is that central bankers haven't used their considerable power to force the Dow Jones Industrial Average at least 10,000 points higher, something he has complained about many times before the pandemic hit.
When the Fed was rightly alarmed by the current dysfunction in the fixed-income markets, they felt they needed to act. This was the correct thought. But, to get the authority to stabilize these "private" markets, central bankers needed the Treasury to agree to nationalize (own) them so they could provide the funds to do it.
In effect, the Fed is giving the Treasury access to its printing press. This means that, in the extreme, the administration would be free to use its control, not the Fed's control, of these SPVs to instruct the Fed to print more money so it could buy securities and hand out loans in an effort to ramp financial markets higher going into the election. Why stop there? Should Trump win re-election, he could try to use these SPVs to get those 10,000 Dow Jones points he feels the Fed has denied everyone.

Why BlackRock Has a Role in the Fed Bond-Buying Spree: QuickTake
Blackrock "At the beginning of 2020, it had about $7.4 trillion in assets under management."
2. What is BlackRock's role?
The Fed is turning to New York-based BlackRock to oversee three separate debt-buying efforts. It will buyand manage portfolios of newly issued bonds from U.S. companies as well as portfolios of investment-grade bonds and ETFs, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. (BlackRock is the world's largest issuer of ETFs.) BlackRock will also oversee purchases of packages of mortgages on commercial real estate guaranteed by one of three government agencies: Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie mae), Federal National Mortgage Association (fannie mae), and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac). Still to be determined is how much money BlackRock will direct in these efforts.

So is Blackrock buying the newly issued bonds or is the Fed? If Blackrock is forced to buy the bonds will they liquidate the 7.4 trillion dollars of assets and use the proceeds? If so then no dollars are printed…

Mnuchin Forms Task Force to Confront Mortgage Firms' Liquidity
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he has formed a task force of U.S. financial regulators to deal with the liquidity shortfall that mortgage service firms may face as swaths of homeowners stop making their monthly payments. Mnuchin said he's asked the task force members to give him recommendations by March 30 on how the U.S. can address a potential cash crunch for servicers, who collect money from borrowers monthly and facilitate payments to investors in mortgage bonds.
He made the remarks during a Thursday call with members of the Financial Stability Oversight Council, a panel set up after the 2008 financial crisis that monitors threats to the U.S. economy. Those on the call included Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton and Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Mark Calabria, whose agency regulates mortgage giants fannie mae and Freddie Mac.
Mortgage servicers face potential stress because the FHFA and lawmakers are granting forbearance – a widespread payment holiday – for property owners who can demonstrate financial hardship due to the virus. Calabria said Wednesday that a lot of mortgage servicers could find themselves at risk of collapse if the coronavirus pandemic lasts for more than two months.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/federal-reserve-taps-blackrock-to-purchase-bonds-for-the-government-11585085843
The Federal Reserve on Tuesday asked BlackRock Inc. to steer tens of billions of dollars in bond purchases, a reflection of the influence of the world's largest money manager.
BlackRock will purchase agency commercial mortgage-backed securities secured by multifamily-home mortgages on behalf of the New York Federal Reserve. The Fed will determine which securities guaranteed by fannie mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie mae are suitable for purchase. BlackRock will execute the trades.
BlackRock also will manage two large bond-buying programs. It will be in charge of a Fed-backed facility to buy new investment-grade bonds from U.S. companies.
The firm also will oversee another vehicle for buying already-issued investment-grade bonds. Bond purchases will be the focus of that effort. But the firm has latitude to buy U.S. investment grade bond ETFs-including exchange-traded funds of its own. BlackRock is the largest provider of bond ETFs.
The mandate is expected to be significant. The Treasury Department is expected to inject $10 billion in initial equity funding in connection with each of the two facilities, according to a previous Fed statement.
The tasks place BlackRock in a potentially controversial position of implementing the administration's response to the spreading coronavirus pandemic. The firm's roughly $7-trillion reach extends into everything from equities to bonds to private equity. The firm will face significant scrutiny on how it prevents conflicts of interests.
BlackRock will be working with the Fed through its financial markets advisory business, and not its asset-management arm. That financial markets unit advises governments on how to manage their balance sheets, assisting them in the purchase of investments and the unwinding of toxic instruments.
For the program that involves ETF purchases, BlackRock can't invest in more than 20% in any one ETF.
Exchange-traded funds that mirror broad swaths of the market can sometimes be a more politically palatable way of pumping money into the fixed-income market than investing in individual securities. It doesn't require a manager to actively pick winners and losers, but simply track an index.
BlackRock will use Aladdin, a software system that assesses risks and prices investments, to monitor the assets. Aladdin watches over more than $20 trillion in assets.
BlackRock Chief Executive Laurence Fink is no stranger to turning his Rolodex and Aladdin into a powerful role for his firm in times of crisis. In the last financial crisis, the U.S. government tapped BlackRock to oversee assets once owned by Bear Stearns Cos. and American International Group Inc. after the two financial institutions collapsed.
That mandate put scrutiny on the firm, generated billions of dollars to the U.S. government and became a milestone that sealed BlackRock's influence in Washington.
Mr. Fink, in a recent market briefing to some clients, said the firm was working with regulators to ensure the smooth functioning of markets. He has told clients the current situation doesn't rise to the magnitude of a financial crisis, but it does mark a crisis of confidence that can be addressed with the help of prudent fiscal policy.

U.S. Orders Up To A Yearlong Break On Mortgage Payments
Homeowners who have lost income or their jobs because of the coronavirus outbreak are getting some relief. Depending on their situation, they should be eligible to have their mortgage payments reduced or suspended for up to 12 months.
Federal regulators, through the mortgage giants fannie mae and Freddie Mac, are ordering lenders to offer homeowners flexibility. The move covers about half of all home loans in the U.S. - those guaranteed by fannie and Freddie. But regulators expect that the entire mortgage industry will quickly adopt a similar policy.
Under the plan, people who have suffered a loss of income can qualify to make reduced payments or be granted a complete pause in payments.
"That forbearance is up to 12 months, depending on their particular situation," says Mark Calabria, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees fannie and Freddie.
Homeowners can't just stop paying their mortgage. "They need to contact their servicer - that is the lender that they send the check to every month," he says. "That lender will work with them to be able to work out a payment plan. Obviously, we hope to get them back on their feet as soon as possible."
Calabria says people in financial distress because of the coronavirus can just verbally testify to that over the phone with their lender. Documenting the hardship can come later. "You're not going to have to send 20 pieces of paper at the front of this," he says. "We want to do it quickly."

The Mulvaney Maneuver ..Beating Elizabeth Warren at her own game.
On June 18, President Trump nominated Kathy Kraninger to replace Mick Mulvaney, the acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Few had heard of Kraninger, Mulvaney's deputy at the other agency he leads, the Office of Management and Budget. Critics quickly declared that Kraninger's lack of consumer finance experience made her unfit to lead the CFPB.
Kraninger is certainly not the most qualified Republican the president might have chosen, since many of the presumed candidates for the director's job were extraordinarily accomplished. Among the names floated over the last year were those of the chairman of the National Credit Union Administration's board, the general counsel of fannie mae, the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, and a professor recognized for expertise in consumer financial law. Nevertheless, the Senate must decide only whether Kraninger is sufficiently qualified to lead the bureau.
Senator Elizabeth Warren opposes Kraninger, of course, just as she would have opposed any other Republican candidate. Warren, the former law professor who first proposed a Financial Products Safety Commission in a 2007 article and later led the CFPB's start-up process, believes that only Democrats can protect consumers from financial industry fraud. More important, she has never forgiven Republicans for blocking her own attempt to become the bureau's first director.

OBAMA-HOLDER DOJ
The Department of Justice's Slush Fund
March 2, 2017 by Jeff Carlson, CFA
News of a Department of Justice "Slush Fund" has been making headlines recently.
Unfortunately, this is not new information - the activity goes back to 2012 and can be traced to The Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Working Group (Working Group), created in 2012 by none other than Obama's first Attorney General, Eric Holder. Let's just say that I view Mr. Holder as "ethically-challenged".
The Working Group was created within the Justice Department in 2012 as a means of prosecution and punishment for those perceived to be responsible for the financial crisis of 2008. At its formation Mr. Holder made the following statement:
"Over the past three years, we have been aggressively investigating the causes of the financial crisis. And we have learned that much of the conduct that led to the crisis was unethical, and, in many instances, extremely reckless. We also have learned that behavior that is unethical or reckless may not necessarily be criminal. When we find evidence of criminal wrongdoing, we bring criminal prosecutions. When we don't, we endeavor to use other tools available to us."
These "other tools" are usually civil sanctions and charges that generally result in large fines being paid by firms, often without a statement of true wrongdoing.
With the full weight of the Department of Justice behind it, the Working Group reached multi-billion settlements with virtually every major bank in America. In total, $110 billion was collected in fines. So where did all this money go? According to a Wall Street Journal report the money breaks down as follows:
$49 billion went to the Department of Treasury - some directly, but most funneled to Treasury through settlements with fannie mae and Freddie Mac. Spending of proceeds has not been specified.
$45 billion was for Consumer Relief - a vaguely defined category that includes borrowers and "housing-related community groups". Breakdowns are not fully known.
$10 billion went to "other recipients" - most appear to be federal in nature.
$5.3 billion went to states to spend as they wanted.
$450 million went to the Department of Justice. Spending of proceeds has not been specified.
The lack of transparency is disturbing. What follows is alarming.

Auto Industry Bailout
Was the Big 3 Bailout Worth It?
The U.S. government's $80.7 billion bailout of the auto industry lasted from December 2008 to December 2014. The U.S. Department of the Treasury used funds from the Troubled Asset Relief Program. In the end, taxpayers lost $10.2 billion.
The Big Three automakers asked Congress for help similar to the bank bailout. They warned that General Motors Company and Chrysler LLC faced bankruptcy and the loss of 1 million jobs. The Ford Motor Company didn't need the funds since it had already cut costs. But it asked to be included so it wouldn't suffer by competing with companies who already had government subsidies.
The Treasury Department lent money and bought stock ownership in GM and Chrysler. It provided incentives to spur new car purchases. In effect, the government nationalized GM and Chrysler just as it did fannie mae, Freddie Mac, and the American International Group.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ACds3PkhiY
Larry Fink #28 on Forbes Powerful People list. A mere $5.4 Trillion in assets, at that time Jan 2019 (?)
"At the height of the [2008] disaster, when the American economy was on the brink, it was to Fink that Wall Street's C.E.O.'s-including J. P. Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon, Morgan Stanley's John Mack, and A.I.G.'s Robert Willumstad-turned for help and counsel. As did the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, whose top officials turned to Fink for advice on the financial markets and assistance on the $30 billion financing of the sale of Bear Stearns to J. P. Morgan, the $180 billion bailout of A.I.G., the $45 billion rescue of Citigroup, and those of fannie mae and Freddie Mac at $112 billion and growing.
"Today, through an array of government contracts, BlackRock has effectively become the leading manager of Washington's bailout of Wall Street. The firm oversees the $130 billion of toxic assets that the U.S. government took on as part of the Bear Stearns sale and the rescue of A.I.G.; it also monitors the balance sheets of fannie mae and Freddie Mac-which together amount to some $5 trillion-and provides daily risk evaluations to the New York Fed on the $1.2 trillion worth of mortgage-backed securities it has purchased in an effort to jump-start the country's housing market."

Q Research General #9655: Think early retirement! Q! Edition
The other night I was trying to remember what took me down this rabbit hole.
It started for me in 08 during the Obama administration. I found some documents that showed laws being ignored and broke during the housing crisis. I was digging because I was an investor in a company that I felt had been robbed of its profits illegally. Its funny that at the time i thought justice would come quick.
10 years later, still no justice.
I watched the Obama team steal around 125 billion give or take a billion from fannie mae and use it to prop up Obamacare.
Treasury was complicit.
its finally making its way through the courts now. its at the SC desk.
Trump saved it for political ammo in the up and coming 2020.
on its face, this is wrong.
people were robbed of their retirement and their constitutional rights violated.
Justice only comes when those in power want it to…its all rigged.
after ten years and the hammer is about to drop these dem clowns get interested.
this is how they rob the system.
i bet the dems are buying shares currently.
https://www.americanbanker.com/news/senate-democrats-demand-fhfa-offers-more-details-on-gse-reform
they have inside knowledge and can buy shares with no fear of insider trading.
friends and family deal.
i would sauce more with large share blocks being bought this week…but im guessing no one cares.
anyhow…i wanted to revisit how i got here and I look forward to crawling out of this rabbit hole soon.
Let the cards fall where they may.

fannie mae net income falls, seen paying $3.4 billion to U.S. Treasury
fannie mae's net income fell in the second quarter from a year-ago due to losses on its derivatives, while it is expected to pay $3.4 billion in dividends to the U.S. Treasury, the No. 1 U.S. mortgage financing agency said on Thursday.
The agency posted net income of $3.452 billion, compared with $4.457 billion a year ago.
fannie mae recorded a loss of $754 million on the fair value of its derivatives, compared with a $229 million gain in the same quarter of 2018.
The Washington-based company attributed the drop in derivative values on falling interest rates.

Search for new IMF head widens to include British candidate
European governments widened their search for a new head of the International Monetary Fund, extending a deadline to 1800 GMT on Thursday so that Britain can put forward a candidate.
EU finance ministers, having failed to reach a consensus, will also hold a series of votes from Friday morning to choose their favorite of six candidates, a French finance ministry official and two other European sources said.
The five declared candidates are: Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch former head of euro zone finance ministers; Nadia Calvino, the Spanish economy minister; Olli Rehn, the Finnish central bank governor; Mario Centeno, the Portuguese chairman of euro zone finance ministers; and Bulgaria's World Bank chief executive Kristalina Georgieva.
An as yet unnamed British candidate - who is not expected to be Bank of England governor Mark Carney - will join them.

ADM profit plunges as floods, U.S.-China trade war batter grain handler
Global grain trader and food processor Archer Daniels Midland Co on Thursday reported a 41.3% drop in second-quarter adjusted profit and missed Wall Street expectations, after being battered by the U.S.-China trade war and severe U.S. weather this spring that disrupted production and transportation.
The Chicago-based company's performance so far this year represents a sharp reversal of fortunes from last year, when ADM's profits surged after a drought in Argentina and the U.S.-China trade dispute boosted its trading and oilseed processing businesses.

Sorry, you're not getting $125 from the Equifax settlement, FTC says
Payout pool is too full, so FTC urges consumers to get free credit monitoring instead.
Remember that $125 you could have gotten from the Equifax Inc. data-breach settlement? Yeah, never mind.
The Federal Trade Commission announced Wednesday that, due to an overwhelming response, cash payments aren't going to be anywhere near $125 each, and urged consumers to sign up for the free credit monitoring offered as an alternative.
About 147 million people were affected by the 2017 Equifax EFX, +0.71% breach, but only $31 million was set aside for payments as part of the $700 million settlement, announced last week.
A quick bit of math shows that for everyone to have gotten $125 from that pot, there would have to be only 248,000 claimants.
While the FTC didn't give a number, they said there were already "an enormous number of claims filed."

Qualcomm forecasts current-quarter revenue below estimates
Qualcomm Inc missed quarterly revenue estimates and forecast current-quarter revenue below analysts' expectations on Wednesday, sending its shares down 5% in extended trading.
The below-expectations forecast follows upbeat results from chipmakers Texas Instruments and Intel Corp
that had eased investor concerns around demand due to a protracted Sino-U.S. trade war and the fallout from restrictions on sales to China's Huawei Technologies.
Qualcomm also lowered its outlook for the number of smart devices with modem chips that would be sold in 2019 to 1.7 billion to 1.8 billion, down from a previous estimate of 1.8 billion to 1.9 billion.
The company collects license fees from smartphone makers for using its patents in their devices and more device sales often results in higher revenue and profits.

U.S. wage inflation moderate, Midwest manufacturing slumps
U.S. labor costs rose at their slowest pace in 1-1/2 years in the second quarter, the latest sign of benign inflation that enabled the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates on Wednesday for the first time since 2008.
Other data on Wednesday suggested a further slowdown in economic growth at the start of the third quarter. Manufacturing activity in the Midwest contracted for a second straight month in July, declining to its lowest level in more than 3-1/2 years.
While private payrolls rebounded this month, the pace of growth remained moderate. The Fed cited "the implications of global developments for the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures"
for its largely expected decision to lower its benchmark overnight lending rate by 25 basis points for the first time since the Great Recession.

US Market Report- All time Highs and Muh Notables edition
Money continues to flow into equity's as it seeks a return…why not? as you are not finding it in fixed-income so into stocks it goes. NICE SOLID day today as the close was even better!. Volumes are what they are at this point(low)-focus on the result.
Each and every time it hits a nigh this causes shorts to cover and new fresh buy stops to be activated- it is a self-fulfilling loop cycle-this benefits us, for a change.
Investors awaited next week's kickoff of the corporate earnings season.
Those 'earnings' are going to be quite interdasting to see, especially the banking sector-the one place that has not made much of anu move in the last few weeks.
Of note the RUS2K has been giving some ominous signals of late, mentioned the volume a few times-these are small-cap stocks that are heavily tied to option(s) action too.
One gauge of that is relative strength, which technical analysts use to gauge one asset's performance in relation to another. In this case, the Russell 2000 Index of small-capitalization stocks RUT, +0.84%
has actually been stable on an absolute basis over the past six months, but that is not a good thing when the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.31% tracking large-capitalization stocks has surged to all-time highs above 3,000.
Remember this has NEVER been tried before…de-coupling from a control structure of 105 years (FRB)
To put it another way regarding the RU2K-When the Russell 2000 is outperforming the S&P 500, it means there is enough money sloshing around that investors are willing to pile into riskier assets. The inverse is also true.
But this is under a fully controlled Boom/Bust cycle controlled by the FRB. It is being removed and too boot the equity's of the people that screwed us are being taken off of them via asset stripping (insider sales)
If the markets drop the value of those shares are less so that does us NO good. They stole money from we the pepe to screw us all over a LONG period of time so it's only right that we the people benefit from higher prices by taking these shares from them at higher valuations. Further moar,USD High Yield Corporate Bond exchange-traded fund HYG, +0.11% tracks the performance corporate bonds that credit-rating firms have rated as speculative, or "junk." When liquidity is flush,
the higher yields offset the risk of default, but when money becomes scarce, investors tend to shy away. The HYG is what the system used to force-feed credit into the system so that it 'grew' at record pace despite the headwinds it faced.
Anyone remember "green Shoots"-yes well this pepe does and that was nothing moar than a force-fed narrative given to us by the FRB along with Quantitave Easing to "help" it along. It was a tremendous pile of SHIT to start with but taking that outof the system is virtually impossible with out hurting the people. It was, after-all, OUR money they did it with so fuck them…we get the benefit this time.
fannie mae and Freddy Mac, the GSA that guarantee's has it's cup out looking for yet ANOTHER guarantee. That's a reference to the situation in 2008, when the government had to step in to save fannie FNMA, -1.77% and Freddie FMCC, -1.48% , which investors had long believed had an implied federal guarantee.
The Treasury Department and the Federal Housing Finance Agency, fannie and Freddie's regulator, are currently discussing their exit from conservatorship and next steps beyond that.
But if the enterprises are released from conservatorship without an explicit guarantee, SIFMA said, it would raise funding costs for lenders, which they would pass on to borrowers. pepe says "fuck you and eat a HUGE bag of dicks".
Your 'guarantee' caused you to act irresponsibly and guarantee loans to anyone who would fog a mirror. The Debt market then packaged up all these shitty loans as collateralized loan obligations (CLO's) and sold them into the system.
See the book and Movie "Big Short" for a primer on how that all worked out. This was also the domain of a one Blythe Masters-the Queen of these pieces of shit. Look her up. She a real piece of work.
pepe will have moar on this over the weekend. Gold trading up slightly but still looking good. Oil trending down along with the Bond mkts-…tick…tock MF'ers.
CME Fed watch Futures are stable all day. 78% percent chance of .25% cut and a 21% chance of bigger. A 100% chance of a cut altogether. If they do not then a big fight will ensue between the owners of the FRB and the primary dealers who are not owners of the FRB.
Also piss POTUS off too-would not want to be ont eh other end of that for sure. Can look that, CME futures up here: https://www.cmegroup.com/trading/interest-rates/countdown-to-fomc.html/

Is the Bwaney Fwank?
Hey, Barney Frank: The Government Did Cause the Housing Crisis
This is what Kamala Harris wants to do to our housing market with Real Estate Reparations.
https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2011/12/hey-barney-frank-the-government-did-cause-the-housing-crisis/249903/
Congressman Frank, of course, blamed the financial crisis on the failure adequately to regulate the banks. In this, he is following the traditional Washington practice of blaming others for his own mistakes. For most of his career, Barney Frank was the principal advocate in Congress for using the government's authority to force lower underwriting standards in the business of housing finance. Although he claims to have tried to reverse course as early as 2003, that was the year he made the oft-quoted remark, "I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation toward subsidized housing." Rather than reversing course, he was pressing on when others were beginning to have doubts.
His most successful effort was to impose what were called "affordable housing" requirements on fannie mae and Freddie Mac in 1992. Before that time, these two government sponsored enterprises (GSEs) had been required to buy only mortgages that institutional investors would buy–in other words, prime mortgages–but Frank and others thought these standards made it too difficult for low income borrowers to buy homes. The affordable housing law required fannie and Freddie to meet government quotas when they bought loans from banks and other mortgage originators.
At first, this quota was 30%; that is, of all the loans they bought, 30% had to be made to people at or below the median income in their communities. HUD, however, was given authority to administer these quotas, and between 1992 and 2007, the quotas were raised from 30% to 50% under Clinton in 2000 and to 55% under Bush in 2007. Despite Frank's effort to make this seem like a partisan issue, it isn't. The Bush administration was just as guilty of this error as the Clinton administration. And Frank is right to say that he eventually saw his error and corrected it when he got the power to do so in 2007, but by then it was too late.
It is certainly possible to find prime mortgages among borrowers below the median income, but when half or more of the mortgages the GSEs bought had to be made to people below that income level, it was inevitable that underwriting standards had to decline. And they did. By 2000, fannie was offering no-downpayment loans. By 2002, fannie and Freddie had bought well over $1 trillion of subprime and other low quality loans. fannie and Freddie were by far the largest part of this effort, but the FHA, Federal Home Loan Banks, Veterans Administration and other agencies–all under congressional and HUD pressure–followed suit. This continued through the 1990s and 2000s until the housing bubble–created by all this government-backed spending–collapsed in 2007. As a result, in 2008, before the mortgage meltdown that triggered the crisis, there were 27 million subprime and other low quality mortgages in the US financial system. That was half of all mortgages. Of these, over 70% (19.2 million) were on the books of government agencies like fannie and Freddie, so there is no doubt that the government created the demand for these weak loans; less than 30% (7.8 million) were held or distributed by the banks, which profited from the opportunity created by the government. When these mortgages failed in unprecedented numbers in 2008, driving down housing prices throughout the U.S., they weakened all financial institutions and caused the financial crisis.

Moar digging on operation brownstone/ a brownstone operation.
"Operation Brownstone, also known as a "Brownstone operation," is a reference to a theory that intelligence agencies, such as the CIA and FBI, engage in utilizing underage individuals for prostitution purposes with high profile targets, for the purposes of being able to blackmail those high profile individuals later. Generally, the incidents are recorded via videotape and the underage victims are debriefed after the encounter."
"In the late 1980's, Representative Barney Frank admitted that his former partner, Stephen Gobie, ran a prostitution ring out of his apartment, in the base of a brownstone in Washington, DC. However, Frank denied all knowledge of Gobie's activities and said he kicked Gobie out when he learned the truth. (source) A brief video summary is available on YouTube"

Barney Frank
"The reality is that Frank, the powerful chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, has been embroiled in two of the largest financial scandals in recent history. The first is the collapse of government-sponsored fannie mae and Freddie Mack, which triggered the nation's financial crisis. Judicial Watch obtained internal government documents proving that members of Congress, including - and perhaps especially - Frank, were well aware that fannie and Freddie were in deep trouble due to corruption and incompetence and yet they did nothing to stop it.
Judicial Watch also obtained internal documents from the Treasury Department that prove Frank helped steer $12 million in federal bailout funds to a Boston bank (OneUnited) that eventually got shut down by the government. Frank intervened on behalf of his equally corrupt friend, California Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who held shares in the failing bank that also listed her husband (Sidney Williams) as a board member."

Visualizing The 20 Biggest Bankruptcies In US History
Companies in caps are sorted by total assets at the time of bankruptcy.
Here are the 20 biggest bankruptcies in U.S. history, and what triggered them
The data set on the biggest bankruptcies is organized by assets at time of bankruptcy. Therefore, they are not in inflation-adjusted terms, meaning the list skews towards more recent events.
In total, nine of the 20 biggest bankruptcies on the list occurred in the 2008-2009 span.A Dubious Distinction. You may also notice that one company was on the list twice, and this was not an accident.
Pacific Gas & Electric, a California company that is the nation's largest utility provider, has the dubious distinction of going bankrupt twice in the last 20 years. The first time, in 2001,
resulted from a drought that limited hydro electricity generation, forcing the company to import electricity from outside sources at exorbitant prices.
Here is an article from 2017 with moar on some of these
10 Biggest Recent Accounting Scandals in America
(missing from this list is the aforementioned PG&E)
10. Qwest Communication
2001 - $44 million
Qwest Communication allegedly boosted its stock price through manipulation. The telecommunications company inflated revenue by $2.2 billion and earnings by $358 million during 1999-2001.

7. Freddie Mac
2003 - $5 billion

2008 - $50 billion
In 2008, global financial services firm Lehman Brothers went bankrupt. The executives and their auditor Ernst & Young sold assets worth $50 billion of investors' funds to banks in the Cayman Islands, which they masked as revenue.
Though Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy was the largest in U.S. history, the SEC has yet to file any charges due to lack of evidence.
2. Bernie Madoff
2008 - $65 billion
Bernie Madoff and his accountant accumulated $65 billion from investors through a Ponzi scheme. Madoff's sons were the whistleblowers. The fraud was unveiled a few months after the Great Recession.
1. Enron
2001 - $78 billion
With $78 billion in losses of shareholder funds, Enron ranks first on our list of the 10 biggest recent accounting scandals in America. Sherron Watkins, Enron Corp's whistleblower, exposed details of the financial scandal to the world, leading to the company's bankruptcy.
Deutsche Bank's stated value, in 'assets' would eclipse the combined total of all of these.

Q Research General #8726: It's all about the BREAK Edition
Will fannie and Freddie get a new sibling?
After over a decade of stagnation, the race is finally on to release mortgage giants fannie mae and Freddie Mac from government control and reshape the housing finance system.
The devil is, as always, in the details - except that some of the "details" aren't so limited in scope. One of the biggest questions in play right now revolves around the question of whether fannie and Freddie will continue to operate as a duopoly. It's a question with enormous implications: trillions of dollars of business for industry participants, and access to the American Dream for ordinary households.
As a brief reminder, the two companies were chartered by Congress decades ago to provide liquidity to the U.S. mortgage market. fannie FNMA, and Freddie FMCC, don't make mortgages, but buy the ones that lenders extend to borrowers, helping free up more capacity for the banks to go out and lend more.
During the housing bubble of the early 2000s, the two competed with all kinds of private-sector mortgage players.
They extended too much, and too-risky, credit, leading to a liquidity crisis.
As the financial system melted down in 2008, they were rushed into government control.
they then grabbed property's by the 1000's and kept them off the market thus driving up prices all over the country-they need to be dismantled and a new agency or private company needs to step up to do this.
That's where they've remained, until now, as Congress has failed to find a permanent solution for how to release them, and for what the future housing finance system should look like.
The current state of affairs is troubling for a few reasons. The two companies currently guarantee about 45% of all new mortgages, according to data compiled by the Urban Institute. They have almost no capital buffers, as a result of a strange experiment from legislators who tried to force themselves into taking action on the matter. And no one has any idea whether the future state will look a lot like the current one, or be drastically different.
Right now, most housing-watchers are focused on one idea in particular. It was mentioned in a report filed by the two enterprises' regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, last week.
"The Enterprises' current duopoly undercuts competition in the market," said FHFA director Mark Calabria in the regulator's annual report to Congress. "Increased competition would reduce market reliance on either Enterprise and enhance market stability, as well as benefit home buyers. To promote competition, Congress should authorize additional competitors and provide FHFA chartering authority similar to that of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency."
That idea isn't new. It's been contemplated ever since the two have been in conservatorship, and expressed more explicitly as a goal in a memo from the White House to the Treasury Department in March.
And it is important to note that it's highly unlikely Congress will make any motion toward housing finance reform of any kind, least of all something as weighty as allowing a regulatory agency to charter a private company alongside fannie and Freddie, with the ability to guarantee millions of mortgages, possibly with some implied government support in doing it.
So far, no company has publicly stated that they want to be a competitor to fannie and Freddie in guaranteeing mortgages.
The credit rating agency Moody's had this to say about the Calabria request:
Moody's stated: "A severe reduction in either companies' market share would reduce their centrality to the U.S. housing finance market. A materially lower market share would erode the creditworthiness of the two companies and could lead us to reduce our support assumptions for fannie and Freddie. In addition, more competitors could lead to weaker underwriting standards or price competition, both credit negatives for the GSEs' creditors."
Moody's was responsible, along with Fitch, Morningstar etc for rating crappy home loan tranches-CMO/CDO's-at Triple A and allowing people like John Paulsen to profit immensely knowing that the debt would collapse-see the Michael Lewis Book "The Big Short'.
That's essentially what happened during the bubble, when the two companies chased each other - and private lenders - to the bottom in a race for market share. It stands to reason that most housing finance participants would want to avoid such an outcome now.
Housing advocates are watching this issue closely.

AGNC Inv. Corp.Dir./CEO/CIO (1 person) bought $2.02m in shares-May 24&28
AGNC Investment Corp., formerly American Capital Agency Corp., is a real estate investment trust. The Company invests in agency residential mortgage-backed securities on a leveraged basis. Its investments consist of residential mortgage pass-through securities and collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) for which the principal and interest payments are guaranteed by a government-sponsored enterprise, such as the Federal National Mortgage Association (fannie mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), or by the United States Government agency, such as the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie mae) (collectively, GSEs). Its agency securities include agency residential mortgage-backed securities (Agency RMBS) and to-be-announced forward contracts (TBAs). Its Non-Agency Securities include credit risk transfer securities (CRT), non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities (Non-Agency RMBS) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS).

Kind of smells funny to pepe to be buying shares in a company with it's asset base tied to home mortgages on the decline. Perhaps they know something we don't…perhaps not.
What Is a Real Estate Investment Trust?
Congress established real estate investment trusts (REITs) in 1960 as an amendment to the Cigar Excise Tax Extension of 1960. The provision allows individual investors to buy shares in commercial real estate portfolios that receive income from a variety of properties. Properties included in a REIT portfolio may include apartment complexes, data centers, health care facilities, hotels, infrastructure-in the form of fiber cables, cell towers, and energy pipelines-office buildings, retail centers, self-storage, timberland, and warehouses.
Most REITs specialize in a specific real estate sector, focusing their time, energy, and funding on that particular segment of the entire real estate horizon. However, diversified and specialty REITs often hold different types of properties in their portfolios.

Pennsylvania accuses financial firms of bond price-fixing
BY MARC LEVY ASSOCIATED PRESS
MAY 24, 2019 09:58 AM
HARRISBURG, Pa.
Pennsylvania's treasury department is accusing about a dozen large financial firms of working together to illegally inflate the price of bonds issued by fannie mae and Freddie Mac over seven years.
A federal court filing by Pennsylvania Treasurer Joe Torsella late Thursday cites what his office says is evidence from a "cooperating co-conspirator" in a U.S. Department of Justice investigation into price-fixing in the secondary market for bonds issued by government-controlled companies.
Evidence cited in the filing includes brief transcripts of what it says are online chats by traders from various financial institutions that are the largest dealers of the bonds.
In the discussions, the traders allegedly agree to fix bond prices at artificially inflated prices, cheating Pennsylvania and other buyers of the bonds. The price-fixing began in 2009 and lasted through 2015, and violates federal anti-trust law, Torsella's filing said.
An analysis shows that pricing patterns are consistent with such a price-fixing agreement, the filing said. The "economic fingerprints" of the conspiracy diminished after January 2016, when the cooperating co-conspirator discovered it, it said.
Torsella's office said it is bound by a confidentiality agreement and could not reveal how it came to receive information from the cooperating co-conspirator. It would not say who the confidentiality agreement is with.
Named as defendants are Barclays, Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, First Tennessee, TD Securities, Morgan Stanley, Nomura, JP Morgan, Cantor Fitzgerald, UBS and HSBC.
JP Morgan declined to comment while other financial institutions contacted by The Associated Press did not immediately respond Friday. Some asked for a copy of the lawsuit.
The bonds are a cornerstone for the investment portfolios of government and institutional investors, and Torsella's office said it expects that a large number of governments, public agencies, pension funds and other public institutional investors are victims of the alleged conspiracy.
Thursday's filing is part of an ongoing case in federal court in New York's southern district being led by Torsella's office.

The bonds are a cornerstone for the investment portfolios of government and institutional investors. Thursday's filing is part of an ongoing case in federal court in New York's southern district being led by Torsella's office.
Pennsylvania's Treasury Department is seeking class action in the case, which has consolidated lawsuits by various government entities, labor unions and public pension systems, including the city of Baltimore.
It said Pennsylvania's various agencies bought or sold $63 billion in so-called GSE bonds during the seven-year period. Torsella's office is in the process of determining how much money state agencies lost because of the alleged price-fixing scheme, officials there said.
The Department of Justice hasn't filed any criminal charges and the cooperating co-conspirator is not directly identified in Torsella's court filing. Torsella's filing identifies Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. as a co-conspirator and among various entities that participated in the violations, but are not named as defendants. A Deutsche Bank spokesman declined comment Friday.

"Sherman, a rail-thin woman with a shock of gray hair, has followed an unusual path to her current post as the undersecretary of state for political affairs, the No. 3 position in the State Department. A Maryland native, she studied sociology and urban studies in college and then got a master's degree in social work from the University of Maryland. She met her husband, journalist Bruce Stokes, in 1978 after they'd gotten together to talk about low-income housing. Unlike most of her peers at the State Department, Sherman's first jobs were in partisan politics and social work, not diplomacy. She was the director of EMILY's List, which provides money to pro-choice, female, Democratic political candidates, and she ran the successful Senate campaign of then-Congresswoman Barbara Mikulski of Maryland. She also served as director of Maryland's office of child welfare and as the president and CEO of the fannie mae Foundation, the charitable arm of the mortgage-lending giant.'

"Another less-than-reputable Pelosi colleague (and financial manager) is John Stewart, a HUD Region 9 real estate broker with ties to fannie mae and Freddie Mac.
His company took over San Francisco's historic Presidio citadel in 1995. Two years earlier, former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev became its first civilian tenant. Soon, this enclave became a "globalist utopia" for New World Order leaders.
Researcher Ken Raggio uncovered in 1998 how Mrs. Pelosi, an investor in a real estate entity called Presidio Partners, "was instrumental in opening this property for Gorbachev." In a June 22, 2008 article, activist Francisco da Costa called Presidio Partners the "Pacific Heights mafia."
Further, Presidio Trust legislation was introduced to Congress by Mrs. Pelosi in 1996, and is now managed under the auspices of Stewart.
Readers should know that Gorbachev helped create Earth Summit Agenda 21-a notorious UN program, which promotes depopulation, open borders and "the radical transformation of the global society." When Al Gore and Barack Obama mention "the transformation of America as we know it," their guidebook is Agenda 21.
Raggio described how Pelosi "cheered the arrival of Gorbachev to the Presidio as a tenant." In May 1995 The San Francisco Chronicle wrote about a Gorbachev Agenda 21 conference of global elitists to discuss "the future of the nation-state."
Is "Obamacare," being pushed so adamantly by Mrs. Pelosi against most Americans' wishes, a part of the Agenda 21 protocols? While promoting Obamaesque "social justice" (i.e., redistribution of wealth), chapter six of Agenda 21 specifically states, "Agenda 21 must address the primary health needs of the world's population, since they are integral to the achievement of the goals of sustainable development."

In 1967 Cloward and Piven founded the National Welfare Rights Organization to increase the numbers of people on the welfare rolls.
Project Vote was formed to organize the voter's rights movement to take up the "unfinished business" of the 1965 Voters Rights Act. ACORN and Human SERVE were formed to expand on the work of the National Welfare Rights Organization
Those three organizations began lobbying for the Motor-Voter law to
swamp our voter rolls with names that would never vote,
but whose names would be on the rolls so others could vote in their stead. When President Bill Clinton signed the bill in 1993 Cloward and Piven were standing behind him.
ACORN is the most prominent of the organizations formed by Cloward and Piven. ==President Barack Obama was ACORN's lawyer. ==
They have received millions of dollars from the federal government and charitable organizations for working on the census, voter registration, affordable housing and other organizing efforts.
ACORN's biggest success was in lobbying for the expansion of housing on behalf of the poor. ==The financial collapse of 2008 can be traced to government decisions.==
The Community Reinvestment Act of 1979 required banks to make loans in poor neighborhoods. Under pressure from the Clinton White House in 1999, fannie mae and Freddie Mac lowered their credit standards on mortgages. Proposals by the Bush Administration to put fannie and Freddie under closer supervision were opposed by Democrats in Congress.
Today, in keeping with the Cloward-Piven Strategy, a new crisis is being manufactured by President Obama. There is chaos at the Southern border.
Two years ago the president stopped deportation efforts of young immigrants who came to the country illegally.
We have had active programs in Mexico informing those who come to our country how to apply for food stamps.
The welcoming word is out regarding illegal entry also.
A mother with her child told Channel 5 News that the message being disseminated in their country is, =="go to America with your child, you won't be turned away."==
The president does not wish to stop the flood of immigrants exactly because Cloward-Piven requires their presence. Not only would this officially add millions of people to welfare rolls, but I would venture to suggest that Obama will likely include automatic sign-up to universal healthcare as part of his amnesty measures.

Trump calls for overhaul of mortgage system
Washington (CNN)The Trump administration is calling on federal agencies to draft plans to overhaul the nation's housing finance system, years after the US government seized the mortgage giants fannie mae and Freddie Mac.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed a memo directing the Treasury Department and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to develop both legislative and regulatory plans to revamp the two companies still under the government's control since the 2008 financial crisis, the White House said in a statement.
Trump's directive calls for ending the conservatorship of fannie and Freddie and improve the federal government's regulatory oversight over them.
The Treasury Department will spearhead drafting a reform plan for the two companies, while HUD will design a separate regulatory protocol to oversee the housing finance agencies.
"The housing finance system of the United States is in urgent need of reform," the President's memo read, which noted three White House priorities: reducing taxpayer risk, expanding the private sector's role and improving access to sustainable home ownership.
Those plans should be delivered to the President "as soon as practicable," the White House said in the statement.
The presidential memo comes as the Senate Banking Committee held two days of hearings on Capitol Hill on the viability of blueprint to reform the housing finance market. The proposal was introduced by Republican Sen. Mike Crapo of Indiana, chairman of the panel, in February.
"I have long said that the status quo is not a viable option, and I consider it a top priority this Congress to find a comprehensive solution," said Crapo on Tuesday in his opening remarks at the hearing.
A spokeswoman for the senator did not immediately respond to comment from CNN on the President's initiative.
Policy analysts were quick to note there were few signs of progress reform, a top priority for Crapo.
"Nothing we heard … on reform of fannie and Freddie convinced us that Congress is ready to act," wrote Jaret Seiberg, managing director at Cowen Washington Research Group, in a note to clients.
fannie and Freddie, along with other government-insured mortgages, currently dominate the mortgage market with roughly 70% of all mortgages touched by the federal government.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has previously said he would prioritize working with Congress this year on a bipartisan basis to fix the government-sponsored enterprises and relinquish them from conservatorship.
In a statement on Wednesday, the secretary endorsed the President's move, saying, "We support a system that provides for access to lending for hardworking Americans, while also protecting taxpayers from risk."
Among the criteria laid out in the presidential memo includes asking Treasury to craft a plan that would minimize risks to the financial system, provide that the federal government be "properly compensated" for any explicit or implicit support it provides to the GSEs or the secondary mortgage market.
Treasury's reform plan should also preserve homeowners access to 30-year fixed-rate mortgages, establish adequate capital and liquidity requirements for fannie and Freddie and expand the private sector's share of the US mortgage market, among other factors. The White House is also asking the agency to specify whether each proposed reform would require approval from Congress or could be done administratively.
The President also asked HUD to prepare a list of its own reform proposals, including determining the benefits and risks tied to providing assistance to first-time homebuyers, including down payment assistance.

See, here's what's going to happen. It's going to be the same thing that has been going on for 2 centuries. It's the REASON we are in the place where we are now.
The Mueller Report will come out. There won't be anything in it. People aren't going to give a fuck. That's the thing. The reason we are in the position we are in is because the "good" people in this country are so far removed from reality that they think they can reason with people who don't listen to reason. They pretend to "do the right thing" as an excuse for their weakness. In reality, they aren't willing to fight. It's that simple. People in this country are no longer willing to do what is necessary to maintain their freedom. Think about it, it's a colloquial joke that politicians are corrupt liars. That can only mean one thing: a weak populace. Ever read the Constitution? Explain the Department of Education. Government controlling education?? What about the fact that the government is allowed to have guns where citizens cannot? What about the fact that drugs are illegal when they had to amend the Constitution to ban alcohol? What about the EXISTENCE of the FED? Fiat currency? fannie mae and Freddie Mac, taxpayer subsidized increase in housing costs due to artificial demand; Sallie mae for tuition? Income tax is literally the definition of slavery. Has there been any instance of income tax before the current system? No? Because it was so controversial? 50+ people is a national tragedy. LV "massacre"? The nightclub shooting? That's a fucking Tuesday in Afghanistan. People have no fucking idea. They live in a fantasy land.
The people in this country are the epitome of weakness bred by material comfort. You can't reason with people that want nothing but the destruction of "America" which is a disgrace to call this "country" at this point. I'd love to live in America for one day, but I can only hope for that for my children from the look of things.

that will be the source of financial reset event if left unattended. no bankruptcy (even better than all other debts!, said the banker). state guaranteed (like fannie mae and Freddie Mac underwritten mortgages, so at least as valuable as they are in terms of risk mitigation), and everyone thinks they need a college experience even if they understand they'll likely rent their whole life. Big Short comparison is a start. look at the current amt of college loan debt. now pretend it were mortgage debt, by that I mean the creditors turn around and tranch the guaranteed state backed debt into buckets for resale as debt backed instruments and derivatives. now sprinkle on that it's been going on since around the time they started that practice for mortgages, and add in the lack of bankruptcy protection. now you see a lot of borrowers with no recourse or means of seeking relief, and on the other side a bunch of retirement fund managers that were looking for unicorn level returns. when it pops…. well, I hope it gets addressed. I'll leave it at that

Q Research General #7178: The Uncuckening Edition
The Federal Reserve, 10 years after the Great Recession
Ten years ago, the economy was teetering. The government had seized fannie mae and Freddie Mac, Bank of America had bought a distressed Merrill Lynch, and 158-year-old Lehman Brothers had failed. The Federal Reserve loaned billions of dollars to prop up the global insurance giant American International Group. It cut interest rates to nearly zero and used Depression-era emergency powers.
60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley wanted to know what the Chair of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, was thinking-and how he planned to save the American economy. Pelley called Bernanke's office and remembers being told, "The chairman of the Federal Reserve does not do interviews."
But by 2009, the Fed was doing a lot of things it had never done before.
In March of that year, Bernanke sat down for a 60 Minutes interview in an effort to be more transparent with the public. As unemployment continued to rise, he wanted to keep the American public informed of how the Fed was responding, so he gave a follow-up interview a year later. This week on 60 Minutes, Pelley continues his tradition of interviewing the head of the Fed by speaking with current Fed Chair Jerome Powell.
"It's almost impossible to imagine just how different things are today," said Henry Schuster, who produced all three interviews.
Gone are the days of the Fed chair sleeping on a couch in his office, for example.
Those late nights were caused by a sense at the Fed that, although they had averted one crisis, landmines were all around. In his first 60 Minutes interview, Bernanke told Pelley the recession had been the worst downturn since the Great Depression. But that wasn't how he really felt.
"He confided later, after it was all over, that he believed what we faced in the financial crisis was the worst financial crisis in human history," Pelley said in the video above.
A PhD in economics with a specialty in the Great Depression, Bernanke believes it was the Federal Reserve itself that helped turn a recession into a global calamity in 1929. To prevent that from happening again, Bernanke took drastic measures, including using the Fed as a lender of last resort to prop up the economy.
With interest rates effectively at zero, the Fed began a policy known as quantitative easing in an effort to get business investment and credit markets moving again. The Fed started buying billions of dollars in mortgage-backed securities, and at its peak, the Fed balance sheet held trillions of dollars in bank debt, mortgage-backed securities, and Treasury notes.
In a recent interview with Powell, Bernanke and former Fed Chair Janet Yellen, Powell admitted that he had been skeptical of his predecessor's decision and had raised questions about quantitative easing at the time. Looking back on it today, Powell said he realizes the risks he identified hadn't come to pass.
He later acknowledged that, if similar economic conditions present themselves in the future, the Fed would consider using quantitative easing again.
"These are some of these things that don't have a precedent," Powell said in the clip above. "And so you've got to go through them and bring your best thinking. And then learn lessons from what's happened."
Another lesson the Fed has learned, Powell said, is to provide a means in which large financial institutions can fail. He told Pelley the Fed now requires banks to have higher levels of liquidity and capital.
"Question is, how long does that last?" Pelley said in the video above. "Will the next generation of people who run the Fed forget these lessons of 1929 and 2008 and let it happen all over again?"

Q Research General #7035: NOTCH ACTIVATED Edition
Ben Bernanke - The Father Of Extreme US Socialism
Looking for a reason for the upsurge in radical socialism, don't blame Trump, blame the Fed.
Writer David McWilliams penned an excellent article in the Financial Times:Quantitative Easing was the Father of Millennial Socialism.
McWilliams notes that Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's "cash for trash" QE scheme drove up asset prices and bailed out the baby boomers. The cost of course, was pricing millennials out of the housing market.
Unorthodox policy penalizes the asset poor.
What assets do millennials have? Hardly any. Instead they are saddled with mountains of student debt which, thanks to president George W. Bush, could no longer be discharged in bankruptcy.
The Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005 would have better been called the Debt Slave Act of 2005.
Then, when the Great Financial Crisis hit, the Fed came along bailed out the banks, bailed out the bondholders, bailed out fannie mae, and bailed out the asset holders in general, leaving millennials mired in debt unable to afford a house.
Simmering Stew of Anger
The irony in this simmering stew of anger is people blame Trump, not the Fed.
But socialism, even AOC's radical socialism is not about Trump, at least directly.
Peak Trump
I had a lengthy phone conversation with David Stockman after I finished reading his new book, "Peak Trump".
The first thing I said to him was "This really isn't about Trump, is it?"
He laughed, then responded along the lines of, "You are correct. Trump is a symptom of the problem. He wanted to drain the swamp but failed to do so. He never really had a good chance of doing that, but he failed to make the most of the chance he had. We are where we are because of decades of Congressional and monetary mismanagement."
I gave his book two thumbs up in "Peak Trump" by David Stockman: Book Review
Trump Won the Election Because
Obama promised change and failed to deliver. Wars continued so did drone policy. Obamacare was a disaster. In his first term, Obama bailed out the banks.
The millennials wanted Bernie Sanders and the Democrat leadership rigged the primary for Hillary. Many disillusioned millennials then sat the election out.
Trump's message appealed to union workers in the rust belt states who believe China was stealing our jobs.
Many believe Hillary is a bigger warmonger than Trump.
People genuinely cannot stand Hillary, for many good reasons.
It took all of those things for Trump to win, and then just barely.

It's the firm's biggest deal in more than a decade, The Wall Street Journal reported.
Kushner Cos. president Laurent Morali told the Journal that the firm plans to borrow about 70 percent of the cost of the Lone Star package. He said Kushner Cos. was "running a competitive process" to choose a lender, the Journal reported. Morali apparently didn't mention the federal lenders to the Journal.

To understand the significance of the GSE's in the American economy and financial health of our nation, consider that in the poorest of our communities utilize the 30 year mortgage to purchase their home. The home is the largest investment/savings for the poor in our nation. As noted in the internal memorandum of the Treasury dated Jan 6th 2011 (pic related) regarding winding down the GSE's, "it could also lead to increased concentration and would reduce fair access to mortgage credit and the prevalence of the 30-year fixed rate mortgage."

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) named Waters to its list of corrupt members of Congress in its 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011 reports. She was accused of using her position to prevail upon officials to meet with OneUnited Bank without disclosing that she and her husband had significant stock holdings in the company. Since she was on the Financial Services Committee she largely had the role of determining where TARP funds would go. 12 Million in TARP funds went to OneUnited without her ever disclosing that she had a financial stake at the company.[54][55][56] Citizens Against Government Waste named her the June 2009 Porker of the Month due to her intention to obtain an earmark for the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center.
In 2010, Waters came under investigation for ethics violations and was accused by a House panel of at least one ethics violation related to her efforts to help OneUnited Bank receive federal aid.[58] Waters' husband is a stockholder and former director of OneUnited Bank and the bank's executives were major contributors to her campaigns. In September 2008, Waters arranged meetings between U.S. Treasury Department officials and OneUnited Bank, so that the bank could plead for federal cash. It had been heavily invested in Freddie Mac and fannie mae, and its capital was "all but wiped out" after the U.S. government took them over. The bank received $12 million in Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) money.[59][60] The matter was investigated by the House Ethics Committee,[61][62] which charged her with violations of the House's ethics rules in 2010.[63][64][65][66] On September 21, 2012, The House Ethics Committee completed a report clearing Waters of all ethics charges after nearly three years of investigation.

Banking chairman Mike Crapo proposes overhaul of fannie mae and Freddie Mac
Senate Banking Committee chairman Mike Crapo released a proposal Friday to reform the bailed-out mortgage giants fannie mae and Freddie Mac, proposing to eventually release them back into the private sector with diminished roles and subject to competition. The Idaho Republican's plan, a three-page paper, does not address several of the trickiest issues that have held up legislation to overhaul the two government-sponsored enterprises since they were taken into government custody in 2008. Nevertheless, it presents a starting point for negotiations between the two parties and the White House to try to resolve fannie and Freddie's unusual status as wards of the government.
"We must expeditiously fix our flawed housing finance system," Crapo said in a press release. "My priorities are to establish stronger levels of taxpayer protection, preserve the 30-year fixed rate mortgage, increase competition among mortgage guarantors, and promote access to affordable housing. I invite my Senate and House colleagues, the Administration and all interested stakeholders to work together to enact this critically needed reform."
Crapo proposes to retain a government guarantee for mortgage-backed securities, a feature that the housing and banking industries argue is necessary in order to facilitate the existence of 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages, but one that many congressional conservatives oppose. Ginnie mae, the government corporation that today guarantees mortgage-backed securities offered by the Federal Housing Administration, would be responsible for guaranteeing securities issued by private guarantors, including reprivatized versions of fannie and Freddie as well as competitors. The existing affordable housing goals required of fannie and Freddie would be replaced with a new "Market Access Fund" that would help extend credit to poorer communities. That provision, as well as a funding stream for affordable housing funds, is a bid to entice Democrats to sign onto the legislation.
The proposal, though, leaves many crucial details unspecified. For instance, it doesn't say what level of capital the private guarantors would be required to maintain, or how large, relative to the market, they would be allowed to grow. Nor does it spell out the minimum requirements for loans that would be eligible for backing, such as minimum down payments. The plan is also ambiguous regarding the treatment of current shareholders in fannie and Freddie, many of which are large hedge funds that would be in a position to lobby against legislation. Crapo has introduced bipartisan housing overhaul legislation before, in 2014, only to see it fail on the Senate floor. The current situation, although unusual, works well enough for many in the banking and housing industries to prevent Congress from passing legislation to change the system. Nevertheless, some legislators want to pursue reform in order to prevent fannie and Freddie from ever being released, unreformed, from government oversight.
In recent weeks, the Trump administration has indicated that it is interested in pursuing changes to the housing finance system. This week, it promised a plan for reform "shortly." "Protecting American taxpayers by ensuring the safety and stability of the United States housing finance system is a priority for the Treasury Department," Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. "The outline for housing reform legislation released by Chairman Crapo is a productive first step toward that goal, and I applaud him for his efforts."

White House walks back Otting comment on imminent GSE reform
"At this time, no decisions have been made on any reform plan"
Two weeks ago, Federal Housing Finance Agency Acting Director Joseph Otting told staffers the agency was weeks away from announcing a plan to take the GSEs out of conservatorship, saying that the administration would not wait on Congress and that significant headway would be made within six to 18 months.
"In the next two to four weeks you're going to be able to see some communication that comes out of the White House and Treasury that really sets a direction for what the future of housing will be in the U.S. and what the FHFA's part of that will be," Otting said during a staff meeting, according to a recording obtained by Politico.
The buzz surrounding the Trump administration's expressed desire to end the conservatorship of fannie mae and Freddie Mac has sent shares of both agencies into the stratosphere, soaring 170% over last year as Wall Street bet its long-term goal for GSE privatization is on track to fruition.
But on Tuesday the White House issued a statement that appeared to walk back Otting's comments, dampening hopes for immediate action and causing shares of both GSEs to slip 12%.
"The White House expects to announce a framework for the development of a policy for comprehensive housing finance reform shortly. At this time, no decisions have been made on any reform plan. As part of the process, however, the administration will work with Congress to formulate a plan that fully addresses the risks to taxpayers presented by the current housing finance system and that improves the ability of creditworthy Americans to buy a home," White House Spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said in a statement.
Otting's remarks to staffers drew the ire of congressional Democrats who demanded that he offer up evidence of the Treasury Department's plans to end the conservatorship.
House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-CA, and the Senate Banking Committee's Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, demanded in a letter to the FHFA that Otting provide a copy of any working plans regarding GSE reform and that he detail his plans for the FHFA.
For its part, the White House made it clear that any move to privatize the GSEs will be a collaborative effort that will include congressional input, and sources say a number of federal agencies will be asked to weigh in.

Trump names acting director for fannie, Freddie oversight agency
12/21/2018
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/economy/trump-names-acting-director-for-fannie-freddie-oversight-agency
FTA
Joseph Otting, a former business associate of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin who already serves in a key banking policy position, will act as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency effective Jan. 6.
Otting is the current comptroller of the currency, meaning he oversees and regulates banks chartered by the federal government. He will take over for outgoing FHFA Director Mel Watt, whose term is due to expire on the day Otting replaces him.
As acting FHFA director, Otting will oversee the $5.4 trillion mortgage portfolios of fannie mae and Freddie Mac, which FHFA has held in conservatorship since the 2007-2008 housing market collapse and ensuing global financial crisis.
Otting came to government service with a business record in banking and housing finance: Prior to his confirmation, he was the president of CIT Bank in California and co-president of the bank's parent company, CIT Group, where Mnuchin held a role as vice chairman of the board until resigning in 2016.
Prior to that, Otting served as president and CEO of OneWest Bank, another California bank, which merged with CIT in 2015.
Otting will serve as FHFA director until Mark Calabria, Trump's nominee to head the agency for the longer term, can be confirmed by the Senate. Trump nominated Calabria, who currently serves in the administration as chief economist to Vice President Mike Pence, last week.
Watt, an Obama appointee and former Democratic congressman from North Carolina, faced sexual harassment allegations from an employee who testified before Congress that he stymied her career advancement because she rebuffed his advances. The employee also provided investigators and journalists with recordings of Watt's alleged improprieties.

Q Research General #4895 "Thousands of Anons" Edition
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=6045543&page=1
"We're going to drain the swamp in Washington, D.C., and we're going to take on the special interests, and we're going to reform government," McCain said at a Sept. 8 rally in Missouri.
Obama echoed that sentiment during a forum on national service on Sept. 11, declaring that "Washington is broken." Obama said "the domination of special interests, the domination of lobbyists, the loss of a civic culture in Washington" led to disasters such as the bungled response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Partly as a result of that rhetoric, major fundraisers and advisers to the candidates frequently have been subjects of attention in the campaign:
-Obama has acknowledged mistakes in dealing with fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who was convicted in June in Chicago on charges of fraud, money laundering and aiding and abetting bribery. Obama has said it was "boneheaded" of him to get involved in a real estate deal with Rezko's wife, and he donated to charity about $150,000 in contributions raised by Rezko.
-James Johnson, a former CEO of fannie mae, stepped down as the head of Obama's vice presidential search committee in June after news accounts about below-market-rate home loans he received while sitting on the board of a subprime lender. He said in a statement that he did not want to be a distraction to the campaign.
-Tom Loeffler, a lobbyist whose clients include defense contractors and foreign interests, stepped down as McCain's national finance co-chairman in May. He was one of six McCain campaign workers, fundraisers or advisers who resigned in the wake of a new campaign policy that forbids paid staffers from working as lobbyists and bans volunteers from working for independent groups seeking to influence the presidential race.
"Bottom line: These are perfect examples of why it is so difficult to change the culture," Sheila Krumholz, head of the non-partisan Center for Responsive Politics, said. "It's not just the candidates, it's everyone they surround themselves with, and many of those people learn the business of political persuasion under a different set of rules."
Examinations of the past actions of Obama's finance committee member, Reynolds, and McCain's fundraiser, Malek, underscore the difficulties Obama and McCain face in promising to clean up Washington while raising tens of millions of dollars with the help of people with a keen interest in government decisions.
…
'Influenced and rewarded'
As part of his 1999 plea agreement, Silvester also said that as Connecticut's treasurer, he had dealings with Washington lobbyist Wayne Berman, another McCain fundraiser. Silvester said he accepted a job from Berman "intending to be influenced and rewarded" for investing millions in state pension money with a Berman client.
Berman is managing director of the lobbying firm Ogilvy Government Relations and a longtime Washington power player.
He was a major fundraiser for both of President Bush's campaigns and has raised more than $500,000 for McCain as a co-chairman of the candidate's finance committee.
In 1999, Berman represented the Carlyle Group, a Washington-based investment house. Silvester directed a $50 million investment with Carlyle Asia in December 1998, the month before he left the treasurer's office and joined Park Strategies, a Washington consulting firm Berman founded.

Q Research General #4816: Attack Pattern Alpha Edition
It Begins: Maxine Waters Vows To Examine Trump Ties To Deutsche Bank
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) told Bloomberg Television on Wednesday that she will investigate President Trump's ties to Deutsche Bank if she is elected chair of the House Financial Services Committee.
President Trump's relationship with Deutsche Bank has long been in Waters' crosshairs - as the 80-year-old Congresswoman has made repeated calls on the German financial institution to provide documents concerning any ties that Trump might have to Russia. As the ranking minority leader on the House Financial Services Committee she has thus far only been able to sabre-rattle, however she will now be able to subpoena records connected to a President whose impeachment she has repeatedly promised constituents since his election in 2016.
Waters also told Bloomberg that she would also investigate changes made at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under the direction of acting director Mick Mulvaney, as well as Wells Fargo - which she has urged the Federal Reserve to come down hard on in the wake of several scandals.
The CFPB has not faced much Congressional oversight since Mick Mulvaney, President Trump's budget director and acting director of the CFPB, took over. Trump has nominated Kathy Kraninger, who worked under Mulvaney in the Office of Management and Budget, to be the next permanent director of the Bureau. If she is confirmed, which is likely since Republicans currently have a majority in the Senate and extended their gains in Tuesday's election, any moves she and the Bureau make will likely come under increased scrutiny of Waters' committee. -Chicago Sun Times

Q Research General #4815: THE SENATE WAS THE KEY Edition
It Begins: Maxine Waters Vows To Examine Trump Ties To Deutsche Bank
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) told Bloomberg Television on Wednesday that she will investigate President Trump's ties to Deutsche Bank if she is elected chair of the House Financial Services Committee.
President Trump's relationship with Deutsche Bank has long been in Waters' crosshairs - as the 80-year-old Congresswoman has made repeated calls on the German financial institution to provide documents concerning any ties that Trump might have to Russia. As the ranking minority leader on the House Financial Services Committee she has thus far only been able to sabre-rattle, however she will now be able to subpoena records connected to a President whose impeachment she has repeatedly promised constituents since his election in 2016.
Waters also told Bloomberg that she would also investigate changes made at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau under the direction of acting director Mick Mulvaney, as well as Wells Fargo - which she has urged the Federal Reserve to come down hard on in the wake of several scandals.
The CFPB has not faced much Congressional oversight since Mick Mulvaney, President Trump's budget director and acting director of the CFPB, took over. Trump has nominated Kathy Kraninger, who worked under Mulvaney in the Office of Management and Budget, to be the next permanent director of the Bureau. If she is confirmed, which is likely since Republicans currently have a majority in the Senate and extended their gains in Tuesday's election, any moves she and the Bureau make will likely come under increased scrutiny of Waters' committee. -Chicago Sun Times

The tie in may be the death of one of the people listed in 9/11…Carlton Bartels.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/barbara-hollingsworth-fannie-mae-owns-patent-on-residential-cap-and-trade-exchange
When he wasn't busy helping create a $127 billion mess for taxpayers to clean up, former fannie mae Chief Executive Officer Franklin Raines, two of his top underlings and select individuals in the "green" movement were inventing a patented system to trade residential carbon credits.
Patent No. 6904336 was approved by the U.S. Patent and Trade Office on Nov. 7, 2006 – the day after Democrats took control of Congress. Former Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H., criticized the award at the time, pointing out that it had "nothing to do with fannie mae's charter, nothing to do with making mortgages more affordable."
It wasn't about mortgages. It was about greenbacks. The patent, which fannie mae confirmed it still owns with Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary CO2e.com, gives the mortgage giant a lock on the fledgling carbon trading market, thus also giving it a major financial stake in the success of cap-and-trade legislation.
Besides Raines, the other "inventors" are:
* Former fannie Vice President and Deputy General Counsel G. Scott Lesmes, who provided legal advice on fannie mae's debt and equity offerings;
* Former fannie Vice President Robert Sahadi, who now runs GreenSpace Investment Financial Services out of his 5,002-square-foot Clarksburg home;
* 2008 Barack Obama fundraiser Kenneth Berlin, an environmental law partner at Skadden Arps;
* Michelle Desiderio, director of the National Green Building Certification program, which trains "green" monitors;
* Former Cantor Fitzgerald employee Elizabeth Arner Cavey, wife of Democratic donor Brian Cavey of the Stanton Park Group, which received $200,000 last year to lobby on climate change legislation; and
* Jane Bartels, widow of former CO2e.com CEO Carlton Bartels. Three weeks before Carlton Bartels was killed in the Sept. 11 attacks, he filed for another patent on the software used in 2003 to set up the Chicago Climate Exchange.
The patent, which covers both the "cap" and "trade" parts of Obama's top domestic energy initiation, gives fannie mae proprietary control over an automated trading system that pools and sells credits for hard-to-quantify residential carbon reduction efforts (such as solar panels and high-efficiency appliances) to companies and utilities that don't meet emission reduction targets. Depending on where the Environmental Protection Agency sets arbitrary CO2 standards, that could be every company in America.
The patent summary describes how carbon "and other pollutants yet to be determined" would be "combined into a single emissions pool" and traded – just as fannie's toxic portfolio of subprime mortgages were.
"fannie mae earns no money on this patent," communications director Amy Bonitatibus told the Washington Examiner. "We can't conjecture as to the cap-and-trade legislation."

Q Research General #4686: Bullets for Rocks Exchange Program Edition
The Plot to Enslave Every Man, Woman, and Child
Just something to consider regarding what JFK meant when he said that there was a plot to enslave every man, woman, and child in this country and how that has come to pass. It's always interesting to take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Right now, almost every single taxpayer in this country pays 50%+ of his income in taxes. It also takes people 30+ years to be able to own their own home. If that doesn't sound like sharecropping then I don't know what does. The taxes and housing prices have been intentionally set by the government.
(I'll be referring to historic tax levels, not post tax cuts) The taxes I'm referring to go way beyond just income tax. The massive ~30% corporate taxes, the matching FICA payroll tax that your employer has to pay that you usually don't see or know about, then finally the income tax ranging from 10% - 39.6%. However, let's assume that your company hates its employees and would keep it all for profit which is highly unlikely. Let's also assume that you are in the 10% bracket (making < $9,225 single, $13,150 Head, and $18,450 joint). This means that you still end up paying 25.3% of that income in taxes(no change from hypothetical corporate cuts going into your salary, 7.65% FICA + 7.65% Employer matching FICA + 10% Federal Income Tax). But wait, it doesn't stop there. You also have to pay taxes on your automobile if you have one, your property if you have any, most every good and service rendered depending on your state, plus a myriad of other taxes for specific circumstances.
Okay so I get that the government is responsible for setting the tax levels, but how is it responsible for housing prices? I only just realized this when I found Q and learned about everything that was going on. I stopped thinking that (((they))) are stupid and started rightfully thinking of (((them))) as evil. If you look at charts of historic housing prices and compare them to today, you will see that housing today is around 1.65 to 1.7 times higher than in the 50's and education is 4.39 times higher. The reason for this is because the government created fannie mae and Freddie Mac for housing loans, and Sallie mae for education loans. These government banks pretty much guarantee the loans which means the private bankers will be authorizing every loan they can because it's pure profit as their investment is guaranteed by the government. Because everyone gets a loan, it artificially increases the demand, increasing the price (a more drastic example of this effect is what happened with the housing collapse last decade). Obviously given all of the CEO resignations showing that this corruption was not only the government, but also most of corporate America; this was straight up saying "Yeah bleed them dry, we got your back with their money".
Just wanted to share and I think this is a topic that you can bring up with anyone seeing as how it doesn't really fall on one political party or another.

fannie Regulator Refused to Cooperate With Harassment Probe, Report Says
fannie mae and Freddie Mac's regulator, Mel Watt, refused to cooperate with an independent review of allegations that he harassed a female subordinate, citing his status as a presidential appointee, excerpts from a report on the investigator's findings show.
Watt, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, declined to be interviewed or provide a response to the misconduct allegations when contacted by the investigator, according to the report, portions of which were obtained by Bloomberg. Watt, 73, said his lawyer advised him not to participate because the process for handling claims is designed to deal with allegations made against rank-and-file employees, not the heads of agencies.
Watt, who was a Democratic member of Congress before former President Barack Obama picked him to lead the FHFA, is rare among senior government officials in being accused of harassment.

Q Research General #3573 Moar & Moar Conicidences Edition
Not sure if this has been covered.. President Trump, Evansville Rally last night, McCain…..
3:50 minutes into Evansville, IN Rally last night President Trump said:
"As President McKinley once said a long time ago we believe in American work for American workers, American wages for American laborers and American homes for American citizens…
First- Thank you President Trump for saying "American Homes for American Citizens" "(been a thorn in my side.. Blackstone, private equity, HUD, fannie mae and Freddie gave away our homes after 2008 crash for pennies to the favored hedge funds)"
Second- First article I came upon on attempted assassination on a sitting President was from Findlaw ..
Presidential Assassination
On Sept. 6, 1901, self-described anarchist Leon Czolgosz fired two shots from a .32 caliber revolver into the abdomen of U.S. President William McKinley at close range. The President, who often appeared in public without adequate security, died eight days later from gangrene caused by the abdominal wounds. The assailant, Czolgosz, was quickly apprehended after the shooting and eventually sentenced to death after a jury found him guilty of presidential assassination.
It is likely no surprise to anyone that assassination of the President of the United States is a crime against the government. This article looks at the specifics of the law and how the U.S. Code treats assassination attempts and other matters related to this serious federal crime.
Presidential Assassination and the U.S. Code
The federal law prohibiting presidential assassination is found in 18 U.S.C § 1751. In addition to assassination of the President, it also covers such acts against the President-elect, Vice President, Vice President-elect, "or, if there is no Vice President, the officer next in the order of succession to the Office of the President of the United States." The law applies to members of the President's (and Vice President's) appointed staff (i.e,. cabinet members) as well.
It is not necessary for the defendant in an assassination case to know that the victim was in fact protected by the statute, which means the prosecution need not prove motive as long as the act was intentional. Anyone found guilty of assassinating the President (or any of the other parties listed above) faces either the death penalty – as in the case of President McKinley's assassin Czolgosz – or life imprisonment.
Assassination cases are investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which may seek assistance from any other federal, state, or local agencies (including the branches of the U.S. Armed Forces).
https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/presidential-assassination.html
I wonder if McCain gave the order for the Whidbey Island missile on June 10 and got caught attempting to assassinate the President? Even more coincidental, the Richard Russell Senate building may be renamed after John McCain?

Q Research General #3492: He Who did Not Depart on His Own Terms Edition
BAKER NOTABLE
John McCain Took Part of $1 Million in Cash, Lavish Vacations, Private Jets from Conman; Then Lobbied Feds to Cover Up $3.4 BILLION Crook Ripped Off from Americans
That's $3.4 Billion. Not million. Billion.
That is how much theft Sen. John McCain tried to help cover up from his friend and benefactor Charles Keating who had greased McCain and other senators with more than $1 million in political contributions. But that did not include the family vacations McCain's family took with the Keating's.
And the gifts.
And the campaign cash.
And the private jets.
And whatever side deals, property and cash these senators quietly scored.
So while everyone in D.C. now is offering tributes to John McCain - no one seems to remember the time he tried to make sure his pal could rip off billions from hard-working Americans who deposited their money in Lincoln Savings and Loan. Americans who lost their cash - and taxpayers who were on the hook for guaranteeing that money.
Credit Barack Obama for raising this scandal - a debacle McCain and his spin doctors have worked so hard to bury - in 2008 when he ran against McCain for the presidency.
Obama actually rolled out a website and made a documentary slamming McCain for his involvement. "McCain intervened on behalf of Charles Keating with federal regulators tasked with preventing banking fraud, and championed legislation to delay regulation of the savings and loan industry - actions that allowed Keating to continue his fraud at an incredible cost to taxpayers," the site said.
The Facts: Keating was sentenced to prison and required to pay more than $1 billion in civil penalties after being convicted on fraud, racketeering and conspiracy charges centered around his running of Lincoln Savings and Loan, which he bought in 1984. On April 14, 1989, Lincoln was seized by the government at an eventual taxpayer cost of $3.4 billion, then the most expensive thrift bailout in history. Lincoln and Keating became national symbols of the savings-and-loans collapse of the '80s - much as lending firms fannie mae and Freddie Mac have symbolized the current financial meltdown.
McCain had been friends with Keating since the early '80s - their families vacationed together several times, according to previous CNN reporting. Keating was an early financial supporter of McCain's political career and donated to his campaigns repeatedly over the years. Keating's first company, American Continental, was headquartered in Arizona, the state McCain represents. McCain became one of the so-called "Keating Five" - five U.S. senators investigated over accusations they tried to interfere in a federal investigation of Keating's role in the savings-and-loan's collapse.
In January 1985, while in the U.S. House, McCain co-sponsored a resolution that would have delayed the effective date of proposed government limits "on direct investment in real estate, service corporations, and equity securities by federally insured savings and loan associations." He was one of the early sponsors, although a majority of Congress eventually signed on to sponsor it. The legislation would have impacted Keating's business, but would have regulated the entire industry, not specifically Lincoln Savings and Loan.
McCain also wrote several letters to government regulators and other officials regarding the issue. One, dated Jan. 30, 1985, to White House chief of staff James Baker, called the proposed regulations "unwise," saying the effort "flys (sic) in the face of our recent efforts to remove the hand of government from the affairs of private enterprise."
On April 9, 1987, McCain and the other senators attended a meeting with federal regulators investigating Keating. McCain has since said he regrets doing so. "He asked me to help him," he said during an October 2002 interview with Chicago's WGN-AM radio station. "I said I wouldn't do certain things. He called me a wimp. I threw him out of my office, but I still went to a meeting with four other senators with a group of regulators." READ MORE:

https://reason.com/archives/2012/10/14/clintons-legacy-the-financial-and-housin
Then why is Clinton culpable? Because his secretary of housing and urban development, Andrew Cuomo, current governor of New York and a likely 2016 presidential aspirant, accelerated easy-housing policies and inflated the housing bubble, setting the stage for its collapse.
The meltdown was the consequence of a combination of the easy money and low interest rates engineered by the Federal Reserve and the easy housing engineered by a variety of government agencies and policies. Those agencies include the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and two nominally private "government-sponsored enterprises" (GSEs), fannie mae and Freddie Mac. The agencies - along with laws such as the Community Reinvestment Act (passed in the 1970s, then fortified in the Clinton years), which required banks to make loans to people with poor and nonexistent credit histories - made widespread homeownership a national goal. This all led to a home-buying frenzy and an explosion of subprime and other non-prime mortgages, which banks and GSEs bundled into dubious securities and peddled to investors worldwide. Hovering in the background was the knowledge that the federal government would bail out troubled "too-big-to-fail" financial corporations, including fannie and Freddie.

FACT SHEET: The STOCK Act: Bans Members of Congress from Insider Trading
"Send me a bill that bans insider trading by members of Congress; I will sign it tomorrow." – President Obama, State of the Union, January 24, 2012
In the State of the Union Address, the President laid out a blueprint for an economy where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules, including those who have been elected to serve the American people.
Today, the President signed into law the STOCK Act, a bipartisan bill that prevents Members of Congress from trading stocks based on nonpublic information they gleaned on Capitol Hill. While this is a good first step, the President will continue to work with Congress to do even more to help fight the destructive influence of money in politics and rebuild the trust between Washington and the American people.
Details of the STOCK Act:
Answers the President's Call to Ban Insider Trading for Members and Congressional Staff: The STOCK Act expressly affirms that Members of Congress and staff are not exempt from the insider trading prohibitions of federal securities laws and gives House and Senate ethics committees authority to implement additional ethics rules. The Act makes clear that Members and staff owe a duty to the citizens of the United States not to misappropriate nonpublic information to make a profit.
Increases Transparency in Financial Disclosure Reporting: The STOCK Act amends the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 to require a government-wide shift to electronic reporting and online availability of public financial disclosure information. The STOCK Act provides additional transparency for Members of Congress, legislative staff and other government employees currently required to make public financial disclosures:
- Trade Reporting: requires that Members of Congress and government employees report certain investment transactions within 45 days after a trade.
- Online Availability: mandates that the information in public financial disclosure reports (currently made available on request) be made available on agency websites and ultimately through searchable, sortable databases.
New Ethics Requirements:
- Expands Pension Forfeiture for Corrupt Members: the STOCK Act requires forfeiture of federal pension if a Member of Congress commits one of several corruption offenses while serving as an elected official. Current law forfeits a Member's pension for conviction of offenses committed while serving in Congress. The STOCK Act expands forfeiture to apply to misconduct by Members committed in other federal, state and local elected offices and adds further federal crimes, including insider trading, for which forfeiture will be required.
- Requires Disclosure of Terms of Mortgages: the STOCK Act will require Members and certain high level government officials to disclose the terms of personal mortgages.
- Bans Special Access to Initial Public Offerings (IPOs): the STOCK Act limits participation in IPOs by Members and senior government employees to purchases available to the public generally.
- Requires Report on Political Intelligence in the Financial Markets: the STOCK Act requires GAO and CRS to produce a report on the role of political intelligence firms in the financial markets.
- Requires Job Seekers to Disclose: the STOCK Act requires that Members of Congress and senior federal employees file a written notification with their ethics office when starting a job negotiation to leave the government.
Bans Bonuses for fannie & Freddie Executives: the STOCK Act bars senior executives at fannie mae and Freddie Mac from receiving bonuses during any period of conservatorship after enactment.

A GSE is a government sponsored enterprise, like fannie mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie mae. I wonder if this is worth digging on. I remember seeing something recently in the press about Mel Watt, the director of the FHFA, being investigated for sexual harassment, but I wonder if there is more that needs to be investigated. I also read a while back that the GSEs were used as a slush fund by the Obama administration after the financial crisis in 2008 when the government essentially confiscated fannie mae and Freddie Mac, which were shareholder owned at that time. Is this worth a look?

Q Research General #2887 IMAGINE if we Hadn't Been Manipulated by MKUltra Faggotry Edition
Bernanke, Geithner and Paulson 'have invented alternative history' of Lehman collapse, professor says
In MarketWatch interview, Laurence Ball talks about his new book 'The Fed and Lehman Brothers'
Nearly ten years ago, Lehman Brothers, declared bankruptcy after a frantic weekend of unsuccessful talks to find a buyer at the New York Fed. Lehman's collapse followed the takeover of Bear Stearns in early March by J.P. Morgan Chase JPM, +0.90% that was assisted by a Fed loan and the government takeover of fannie mae FNMA, -0.68% and Freddie Mac FMCC, -0.93% . The outcome has always been controversial.
An economics professor at Johns Hopkins University, Ball says there was no discussion of Lehman's collateral or the legality of a loan during the crucial weekend. In addition, he said that Lehman did have enough collateral, if anyone had looked. Other analysts, including Joseph Gagnon of the Peterson Institute for International Economics, have argued that Lehman was probably deeply insolvent at the time of its bankruptcy.
"They could have made a loan, it would have been legal, it would not have been very risky, and probably the whole financial crisis and Great Recession would have been less severe."

Nugan Hand Bank….
You speak of inflated assets making the banking world "upside down." Yes, that is because President Bill Clinton redefined the housing market as a "commodity," allowing the Federal Housing Bank's assets to be traded on Wall Street in blocks as a hedge fund risk management tool while the Russian Mafia and international drug cartels money laundered dope through fannie mae and Freddie Mac and other international Marxist central banks. Read Gretchen Morgansen's "Reckless Endangerment" expose on the collapse of the world housing market banks.
But there is more to this sordid tale. The Democrat's biggest financial backer, real estate investment bank, Stephens Inc., bought into a startup banking computer programing company, Systematics back in 1968. Jackson Stephen's bank is also one of the recipient banks of the CIA's Black Op gold reserves (Black Eagle and Project Hammer) compiled of wartime booty seized Nazi gold, Japanese Golden Lilly (General Yamashito's stash buried in the Philippines) and Soviet Union gold reserves in 1989 as the Berlin Wall came down. Much of this gold was stashed in the Nugan Hand Bank of Australia until Frank Nugan was murdered and John Hand disappeared. Once the Australian bank was dissolved, its treasures passed to Household Bank of Chicago, bought into by Jack Stephens real estate investment bank, Stephens Inc. Jack Stephens hired Hillary Rodham Clinton at the Rose Law Firm in Arkansas to "track the money" of Household using Systematics which eventually would include the Russian Mafia's raid on the Kremlin gone astray under Project Hammer.

Q Research General #2330: Drain The Swamp Cabinet Meeting Edition
White House proposes re-privatizing mortgage giants fannie, Freddie
The White House proposed Thursday to move fannie mae and Freddie Mac out of government custody and back into the private sector, the most comprehensive statement of the administration's preferences on housing finance reform yet. It calls for allowing fannie and Freddie to enter the private sector after being in government conservatorship since 2008. Then, they - and their competitors that might enter the market - would be given an explicit government guarantee on mortgage-backed securities that they issue. fannie and Freddie help create a secondary market for home loans by buying mortgages from banks and other lenders, and packaging them into securities for investors to purchase, with a guarantee that they will be covered if the loans fail. The two also have affordable housing mandates and are required to shunt some earnings toward affordable housing trust funds. In the administration's proposals, the Department of Housing and Urban Development would administer aid to low-income households.
A major question is whether that part of the plan could win support from affordable housing groups. They have opposed the Corker draft, which in turn has failed to gain Democratic support. Outside conservative groups, too, are likely to oppose the administration's plan on the grounds that it would provide a government backstop for mortgage-backed securities. Opposition from all sides has doomed past efforts to take fannie and Freddie out of government hands or shutter them entirely. In 2013, House Republicans advanced a conservative bill that would have ended the two government-sponsored enterprises, but it failed to get a vote in the full chamber. Similarly, in 2014 a bipartisan bill passed the Senate Banking Committee, but it didn't get a floor vote thanks to a lack of interest from Democrats and Republicans.

Eric Ueland is an American political advisor and government official. He is President Donald Trump's nominee to become Under Secretary of State for Management.[1]
From 2007 to 2013, Ueland was vice president of the Duberstein Group.
who is kenneth duberstein ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Duberstein
Kenneth M. "Ken" Duberstein (born April 21, 1944) served as U.S. President Ronald Reagan's White House Chief of Staff from 1988 to 1989.
Prior to joining the Administration, he was Vice President and Director of Business-Government Relations of the Committee for Economic Development. He returned to the private sector between his various White House assignments as Vice President of Timmons & Company Inc, one of Washington's top lobbying firms.[4] Some of the firm's clients include the American Petroleum Institute, Anheuser-Busch, Chrysler, Teva Pharmaceuticals, the American Council of Life Insurers, the American Medical Association, and VISA.[5]
Among the Board of Directors on which Mr. Duberstein serves are: The Boeing Company, ConocoPhillips, the Fleming Companies, Inc., and The St. Paul Companies, Inc.[6] He also is on the Board of Governors for the American Stock Exchange and NASD, and has served on the Board of Directors of fannie mae.[7] He serves on the advisory board for Washington, DC based non-profit America Abroad Media.[8][9]
Duberstein is a trustee of Franklin & Marshall College and Johns Hopkins University and serves as well on a wide range of commissions, task forces, and cultural, educational and volunteer boards, including: Vice Chairman of the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts, Harvard University's Kennedy School Harvard's Institute of Politics Senior Advisory Committee, the board of directors of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Brookings Institution,[10] the Ronald Reagan Institute of Emergency medicine, the National Alliance to End Homelessness,[11] Ford's Theater and The American Council for Capital Formation.[12]
In January 1989, Duberstein was awarded the President's Citizens Medal by President Reagan. [14] He is chairman of the Ethics Committee for the U.S. Olympic Committee and served as vice chairman of the independent Special Bid Oversight Reform Commission for the U.S. Olympics Committee.
>He also appeared on Bloomberg alongside John Podesta.[citation needed]
>Duberstein has been a "political adviser" to former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, according to syndicated columnist Robert Novak, who says Duberstein was a source for David Corn's and Michael Isikoff's book about the Valerie Plame affair in which Armitage was found to be the one who leaked Plame's CIA status to Novak.[15]
In an interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria aired November 2, 2008, Duberstein announced his support of Democratic candidate Barack Obama for president. This came after he was rebuffed by Sen. John McCain, the GOP nominee, for the position of director of his presidential transition, according to ABC News.[16][17][18][19]
Duberstein has been hired by Russian authorities, via Goldman Sachs (an international investment banking firm), to
>lobby against the Magnitsky Bill (as known as the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act), a bill in the U.S. Congress "to impose sanctions on persons responsible for the detention, abuse, or death of Sergei Magnitsky, and for other gross violations of human rights in the Russian Federation".[20][21]
In 2013, Duberstein was a signatory to an amicus curiae brief submitted to the Supreme Court in support of same-sex marriage in the Hollingsworth v. Perry case.[22] His position succeeded, as the court would go on to effectively legalize same-sex marriage in California.

http://www.wivb.com/news/local-news/four-buffalo-and-rochester-area-men-indicted-in-multimillion-dollar-mortgage-fraud-scheme/1193292197
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Four people from the Buffalo and Rochester areas have been indicted by a federal grand jury in a multimillion dollar mortgage fraud scheme.
The defendants, who were each charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud and fraud charges, are as follows:
Frank Giacobbe, 43, of East Amherst
Patrick Ogiony, 34, of Buffalo
Todd Morgan, 29, of Rochester
Kevin Morgan, 42, of Pittsford
Two of the defendants, Frank Giacobbe and Patrick Ogiony were arraigned U.S. District Court, in Buffalo, Wednesday.
Prosecutors handling the case said, between March 2011 and June 2017 the defendants conspired to defraud financial institutions and government-sponsored organizations including Freddie Mac and fannie mae.
They are also accused of inducing lenders to issue loans for apartment complexes for greater amounts than they would have issued if they had known the truth, resulting in fraudulent loans amounting to $167.5 million.
The properties include Morgan Ellicott Apartments and Amherst Garden in Buffalo, Rugby Square in Syracuse, Avon Commons in Avon, and Rochester Village, Southpointe, and Eden Square, all in the Pittsburgh, PA area.
The defendants are accused of conspiring to provide the lenders with false rent rolls suggesting that their properties had higher rental rates and more occupied units than they actually did. They also are accused of providing lenders with fraudulently altered leases and taking action to prevent inspectors touring the properties from discovering vacant units, such as hiring people to pose as tenants of vacant units.
The charges carry a maximum of 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.

GOP to investigate fannie mae's reported lobbying violation
The House Financial Services Committee will investigate fannie mae over a report that one of executives has been lobbying to get the bailed-out mortgage giant out of the government's hands, chairman Jeb Hensarling said Friday.
"It is a slap in the face of taxpayers that fannie mae thinks it can take their money and blatantly ignore the rules that came with it," the Texas Republican said. "The American people deserve better."
fannie mae's general counsel has been advocating with Trump administration officials for the company to be released from government conservatorship and placed back into private hands, Bloomberg reported Friday.
Under the terms of the 2008 bailout for the company, it is not supposed to engage in political advocacy.
Some legislators, including Hensarling, have sought to shutter fannie and Freddie Mac in order to ensure that there is not a repeat of the pre-crisis dynamic, in which the two companies took on risk to gain profits, but then got a taxpayer rescue when they failed.
Hensarling and other conservators have been particularly sensitive to the possibility that either of the two could be lobbying, engaging in activism, or otherwise becoming more politically engaged.
Congress has failed to advance reforms to the housing finance system, though, raising the likelihood of the Trump administration pursuing action on its own to resolve their status. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has said he is committed to getting them out of government conservatorship.
Asked for comment, a representative for fannie mae said that the company does not lobby and has not advocated for any specific housing finance reform.

Slush funds dig- it's way worse than we thought…
This started while digging into The Asia Foundation. I read about it being created in 1951 as the Committee for Asia, a proprietary CIA undertaking for cultural/educational activities that lie outside of official US channels. CIA funding was under Project DTPILLAR.
It was renamed to The Asia Foundation in 1954 and became a "quasi-nongovernmental organization" so it would appear private but have its core budget funded by we the taxpayers.
The Asia Foundation isn't the only entity set up like this, but good luck finding them all- there is no list and only a very few admitted to in the CRS Report: The Quasi Government: Hybrid Organizations with Both Government and Private Sector Legal Characteristics (2011).
These entities have ties to the executive branch but are not "agencies" of the United States. They are
1) quasi official agencies;
2) government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs);
3) federally funded research and development corporations (FFRDCs);
4) agency-related non-profit organizations; (like The Asia Foundation)
5) venture capital funds; (Loop capital?)
6) congressionally chartered nonprofit organizations; and
7) instrumentalities of indeterminate character.
GSEs have no established criteria defining standards to be met prior to establishment. Basically, GSEs are defined by Congress in its enabling legislation.
GSEs that are listed in the report are: National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), Legal Services Corporation, Smithsonian Institute, State Justice Institute, United States Institute of Peace, National Consumer Cooperative Bank, National Acadamy of Sciences, National Science Foundation, fannie mae, Freddie Mac, Farmer Mac, Federal Home Loan Bank System, Farm Credit System, National Park Foundation, In-Q-Tel, Communications Satellite Corporation (COMSAT), Corporation for Public Broadcasting
FFRDCs listed in the report (much more interesting)
RAND (created by the Air Force in 1947), Mitre Corporation, Aerospace, Institute for Defense Analyses, National laboratories at Oak Ridge and Los Alamos (government-owned, contractor operated -GOCO- facilities) and the Federal Aviation Administration
The IRS established an FFRDC as well as the Dept. of Homeland Security but it is not listed what they were.
GSEs and FFRDCs can be located within the Omnibus by their label of "Government sponsored enterprise."
In FY2009, FFRDC annual federal obligations were roughly $9.5 billion and were ballooning rapidly with accelerated creation of more (GSEs and) FFRDCs.
The slush fund aspect comes into government officials naming themselves a board member of one or more of these entities and drawing whatever paycheck they think they can get away with.
There's much more in this report and could really use some more eyes as well as digging into the Omnibus to try and uncover all these entities.

The one thing they sort of miss on is his wife, Sabina Menschel, who is not just some consultant, but the current head of the D.C. office of Nardello & Co. That's the top private-eye firm in the Beltway.
So the man the FBI has keeping all its secrets is married to the top private snoop in Washington.
It would be revealing, no doubt, to see what Democratic-affiliated law firms and media shops in D.C. use Nardello. Let's hope congressional investigators are looking into this. Ms. Menshel, by the way, is the daughter and niece of Goldman Sachs zillionaire brothers Richard and Robert Menshel, big-time Democrat donors.
A long time ago, a friend of mine who once worked in the intel community in D.C. told me all the agencies were just absolute cesspools of nepotism, and pretty much everybody advanced by playing leap-frog along with a spouse through the system. Use your connections to get your wife a better slot somewhere in the alphabet soup, then she does the same for you. A few detours on the way to congressional staffs, or well connected private law and media firms, can be part of the track as well.
That's how we got everyone from Bruce and Nellie Ohr to Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson. No surprise at all that Hillary Clinton's attorney is the super-connected Beth Wilkinson, married to NBC's David Gregory and an alumna of the Web Hubbell DOJ and the Jamie Gorelick fannie mae - you know, the same people in James Comey's FBI. Peter Strzok may have a variation on the game, using his mistress Lisa Page as his ladder-climbing pal in the DOJ.

Sherman has worked in a variety of positions in both government and non-profit organizations: chief of staff for three years for then Congresswoman Barbara Mikulski, campaign manager for Mikulski's first successful Senate campaign, Special Secretary for Children and Youth in Maryland (a cabinet-level position), Director of Maryland's Office of Child Welfare, supervising protective services, foster care, adoptions, and group homes
Sherman directed Campaign '88 for the Democratic National Committee, where she oversaw field and political operations, communications, Congressional relations, constituency operations, issue development and coordination with all federal, state and local campaigns during the 1988 general election.
From 1991 to 1993, Sherman specialized in strategic communications as a partner in the political and media consulting firm of Doak, Shrum, Harris and Sherman. Prior to that, she directed EMILY's List, the largest financial and political resource for pro-choice Democratic women candidates.
From 1993 to 1996, Sherman served under United States Secretary of State Warren Christopher as Assistant Secretary of State for Legislative Affairs, where she directed the legislative efforts of the State Department with the U.S. Congress. Among other issues, she led the efforts to obtain the funding for Russia and the newly independent states after the break-up of the Soviet Union and support for the Dayton accords.
After working as CEO and President of the fannie mae Foundation, she then returned to the State Department as Madeleine Albright's counselor, with the rank of Ambassador, appointed by President Bill Clinton and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. She advised Secretary Albright on issues of foreign policy, provided guidance to the Department and undertook special assignments.
She has been a Vice Chair of Albright Stonebridge Group, Albright's international strategic consulting firm, since the group's formation in 2009.

IOW, Wendy Sherman was directly responsible for deliberately creating the housing bubble in the late 90s and early 2000s, through the intentional creation of ABSURDLY BAD LOANS like option-arms and subprime mortgages. THESE ARE TWO OF THE STUPIDEST FUCKING THINGS ON THE PLANET.
Guess what else? She has ALSO been on the operating committee of fannie mae in the past. I'm still looking for details on her dates of service there. I'm especially interested to see if she served in that role when Obama started stealing from them for OCare subsidies.
What else can we find about Wendy Sherman, I wonder…?
In 2011, the GOP was criticized for "having its fangs out" when Wendy Sherman was nominated to be the Undersecretary of State for policy.
Almost like they knew she was corrupt as hell.
(link: http:// foreignpolicy.com/2011/06/17/gop-fangs-out-for-wendy-sherman/)
Now, absolutely none of this is a smoking gun. It confirms what we can safely assume about all of Obama's appointees: she was criminally corrupt in multiple ways. The question is…what is the smoking gun? I'm betting there's something out there.

Q Research #1124: Burn Baby Burn Edition
Clinton Arkancide's are easy to spot with 2 shots to the back of the head or someone zipping themselves up in suitcases inside showers. But what about Bush's? How many were missed?
Most here have probably heard of what was known as fanniegate. FNMA and FMCC were nationalized under George W. Bush and blamed for financial crisis by some. And then made national news again under Obama with the scandal where fannie mae and Freddie Mac were used as piggy banks to fund Obamacare.
If not, see sauce here:
https:// hooktube.com/watch?v=SmqRSFfkPtg
It has been proven that Bush's administration lied about needing to nationalize FNMA and FMCC to protect them. They were never insolvent.
Sauce here:
https:// www.cnbc.com/video/2017/07/25/unsealed-documents-show-fannie-freddit-bailout-details.html
Billions of dollars of pension funds were invested in these entities. So nationalizing took billions from retirees.
Besides outright theft of over $200 Billion, the plan was to give the secondary mortgage market to the Too Big to Fail Banks that caused the financial crash to begin with.
As noted in pic 1., the winding down of these entities would "reduce fair access to mortgage credit and the prevalence of the 30 yr fixed rate mortgage." Over time, that would create a nation of renters. Ownership of housing/realestate would be very concentrated.
A nation of renters would be very detrimental to creation of wealth, as housing is often the greatest source of savings for many families.
https:// www.thebalance.com/how-does-real-estate-affect-the-u-s-economy-3306018
All communities were affected by these Banksters, but the poor were hurt the most. http:// nlihc.org/article/report-shows-african-americans-lost-half-their-wealth-due-housing-crisis-and-unemployment
So this "conspiracy" has most of the ingredients an "evil doer" would enjoy, but it's lacking murder, or is it?
Pic 2 is from a Fox article about the CFO of Freddie Mac. The CFO committed "suicide" 1 month after the CEO resigned. And as noted above, the GSE's were actually never insolvent. Being the answer man, and being someone known as a straight shooter with high ethical standards isn't someone that the cabal would likely want hanging around during this theft of this proportion. I suspect that this is Bush's "suicide".

a few tidbits on Maxine Waters from Wikipedia.
Allegations of corruption[edit]
According to Chuck Neubauer and Ted Rohrlich writing in the Los Angeles Times in 2004, Maxine Waters' relatives had made more than $1 million during the preceding eight years by doing business with companies, candidates and causes that Waters had helped. They claimed she and her husband helped a company get government bond business, and her daughter Karen Waters and son Edward Waters have profited from her connections. Waters replied that "They do their business and I do mine."[35] Liberal watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington named Waters to its list of corrupt members of Congress in its 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2011 reports.[36][37] Citizens Against Government Waste named her the June 2009 Porker of the Month due to her intention to obtain an earmark for the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center.[38][39]
Waters came under investigation for ethics violations and was accused by a House panel of at least one ethics violation related to her efforts to help OneUnited Bank receive federal aid.[40] Waters' husband is a stockholder and former director of OneUnited Bank and the bank's executives were major contributors to her campaigns. In September 2008, Waters arranged meetings between U.S. Treasury Department officials and OneUnited Bank, so that the bank could plead for federal cash. It had been heavily invested in Freddie Mac and fannie mae, and its capital was "all but wiped out" after the U.S. government took them over. The bank received $12 million in Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) money.[41][42] The matter was investigated by the House Ethics Committee,[43][44] which charged her with violations of the House's ethics rules in 2010.[45][46][47][48] On September 21, 2012, the House Ethics Committee completed a report clearing Waters of all ethics charges after nearly three years of investigation.[49]

Maxine Waters: Congressional Corruption All-Star
2 years ago
Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D- CA) has long had a troubled relationship with the rules. During the financial crisis, Waters used her high- ranking position on the House Financial Services Committee to help a bank she had a financial interest in. Waters admitted that she made calls to the Treasury Department on "OneUnited?s behalf":
"In January, Ms. Waters acknowledged she made a call to the Treasury on OneUnited's behalf. The bank's capital, which was heavily invested in shares of fannie mae and Freddie Mac, was all but wiped out with the federal takeover of the two mortgage giants, and the bank was seeking help from regulators. OneUnited eventually secured bailout funds under the government's $700 billion Troubled Asset Relief Program, which was set up later that month."
The House Ethics Committee investigated Waters and her office, and eventually reprimanded her chief of staff, who happens to be her grandson. Waters? corrupt acts, throughout her time in Congress, have led her to be named one of CREW?s most corrupt members in 2005, 2006, and 2009. Waters is one of the few members of Congress with a record of unethical dealings that can compare with Hillary Clinton?s.

Jamie Gorelick's wall
April 15, 2004
The disclosure that Jamie Gorelick, a member of the September 11 commission, was personally responsible for instituting a key obstacle to cooperation between law enforcement and intelligence operations before the terrorist attacks raises disturbing questions about the integrity of the commission itself. Ms. Gorelick should not be cross-examining witnesses; instead, she should be required to testify about her own behavior under oath. Specifically, commission members need to ask her about a 1995 directive she wrote that made it more difficult for the FBI to locate two of the September 11 hijackers who had already entered the country by the summer of 2001.
On Tuesday, Attorney General John Ashcroft declassified a four-page directive sent by Ms. Gorelick (the No. 2 official in the Clinton Justice Department) on March 4, 1995, to FBI Director Louis Freeh and Mary Jo White, the New York-based U.S. attorney investigating the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. In the memo, Ms. Gorelick ordered Mr. Freeh and Ms. White to follow information-sharing procedures that "go beyond what is legally required," in order to avoid "any risk of creating an unwarranted appearance" that the Justice Department was using Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants, instead of ordinary criminal investigative procedures, in an effort to undermine the civil liberties of terrorism suspects.

Narrative Reframes discussion on the US Economy, con't.
Narrative Reframes, [31.01.21 13:05]
More regarding Economics that you NEED to understand.
Mortgage Lenders, even "Conservative" family owned ones, are selling their notes to Government Agencies - facilitated by large centralized State banks, ie: they funnel it right back to the Federal Government, you literally can't get free from the Fed unless you pay the Mortgage outright.
Example: American Finance is a family owned, highly rated "Conservative" valued and Conservative community promoted Mortgage Lender.
Either they have no clue what's going on, or don't care. Actions speak louder than words.
Ie: their Conservative "stance" is a DECEPTION that has lulled thousands of Patriots into a false sense of security.
Why? They sell their notes on the open market. Owning the notes of Patriots becomes easy targeting for corrupt entities. Most recently, Chase Bank is currently servicing it, while fannie mae & Freddie Mac own the notes. Now, thousands of Patriot notes, (homes and land) are actually owned by the Federal Government until payed in full.
This is accomplished through long term corrupt policy, unethically executed over the decades to force Lenders to normalize this as "accepted business practice," because they "have no other option."
State and Local Banks, Conservative Lenders, and Patriot Communities can unite together to fix these problems - and STOP the leveraged buy out of properties in the United States.
Think about this: ALL the interest you pay on your Mortgage and your Land Notes over time is going to support Corrupt Conglomerates that you would never actually CHOOSE to support, because you know they ultimately seek totalitarian control.
Narrative Reframes, [31.01.21 13:36]
Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck - all promoting American Finance - when all American Finance does is funnel Patriots notes back to the Federal Government, with interest payments supporting corrupt, controlling Conglomerates- without them even knowing it.
Refinancing or choosing American Finance may still save Patriots money over time - but the point is, if Patriots had the knowledge beforehand, and the option to CHOOSE, would they choose to allow their interest payments to support a Corrupt Conglomerate, or not?
This is what is meant when asking the question, is the sacrifice of convenience is worth the relentless pursuit of Liberty?
You are being called to change the system from the standpoint of the community level. And the Trump Administration has made that more possible than ever, in a long time, by putting the Federal Reserve in check.
The rise of Entrepreneurship makes We The People stronger, not the Federal Government, or the Corrupt Geopolitical Conglomerates.
The local and State levels are where you start to work together for Change. Your respective States must take advantage of the competitive opportunity with the Federal Reserve right NOW.

Mortgage Industry Soars to Record With $4.4 Trillion in Loans
Nearly $4.4 trillion of home mortgages are set to be originated this year, according to data provider Black Knight Inc. That record amount is about $300 billion more than the most optimistic forecast among estimates from fannie mae, Freddie Mac, and the Mortgage Bankers Association.
The Federal Reserve has helped fuel a housing rally by keeping interest rates low and buying mortgage bonds to stimulate the economy.The previous originations record was set in 2003, when the Fed cut interest rates and spurred a boom in refinancings that led to $3.8 trillion of new mortgages that year. Roughly 6.4 million homeowners have refinanced their mortgages this year through September, a figure that Black Knight experts to top 9 million by year's end.
Profit margins are at record levels in the mortgage industry, prompting at least nine companies to either go public this year or plan to do so in the coming months.
Next year could be even better for the industry, with more than $4.5 trillion of projected originations, according to a team of mortgage researchers at Bank of America Corp

Despite Its Five Felony Counts, the Federal Reserve Has Entrusted $2 Trillion in Bonds to JPMorgan Chase
Imagine that your neighbor across the street had been criminally charged with five felony counts for financial crimes in the past six years and admitted to committing each and every crime to the U.S. Department of Justice. Would you put one-third of all of your money in a safe, give that neighbor the combination, and ask him to hold the safe in his house for you? You would probably be suited up for a straight jacket if you did something like that. That's effectively what the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, has done when it comes to JPMorgan Chase. As of this past Wednesday, the Fed has a $7 trillion balance sheet and $2 trillion of its agency Mortgage-Backed Securities are sitting at JPMorgan Chase, the bank that the Department of Justice has charged with five criminal felony counts since 2014 - all of which it admitted to.
Since JPMorgan Chase first inked a contract with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on December 31, 2008, it has been the sole custodian of all of the agency Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS) that the Fed had bought in its long-running Quantitative-Easing programs. The contract was updated on January 30, 2017 and continues to this day. We confirmed that fact with the New York Fed yesterday. As of this past Wednesday, JPMorgan Chase was holding $2,000,305,000,000 (principal amount) in MBS backed by fannie mae, Freddie Mac or Ginnie mae that belongs to the Fed. The Fed apparently saw no need to find a new custodian for the $1.49 trillion of MBS that JPMorgan Chase was holding for the Fed on January 7, 2014 when the Justice Department charged the bank with two criminal counts for its role in the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme. The bank admitted to the charges; paid $1.7 billion into a Madoff victims fund; and was given a 3-year Deferred Prosecution Agreement and put on probation for the same period.
The Fed was apparently not worried about JPMorgan holding $1.7 trillion of the Fed's MBS on May 20, 2015 when the bank was charged with its third criminal felony count in less than a year and a half. On that occasion, JPMorgan Chase pleaded guilty to one criminal count brought by the Justice Department for its role with other banks in rigging the foreign exchange market. The bank paid a fine of $550 million and was put on probation again. And when the bank admitted to its fourth and fifth felony count on September 29 of this year, once again the Fed saw no reason to remove its $2 trillion in mortgage securities from the sticky palms of JPMorgan Chase. The latest felony counts, once again brought by the Justice Department, involved "tens of thousands of episodes of unlawful trading in the markets for precious metals futures contracts" and "thousands of episodes of unlawful trading in the markets for U.S. Treasury futures contracts and in the secondary (cash) market for U.S. Treasury notes and bonds," according to the Justice Department. The bank agreed to pay $920 million in fines and restitution to various regulators. It was given another Deferred Prosecution Agreement and put on probation for the third time.
Could this story get more outrageous? Yes it can. Not only did the Federal Reserve look the other way at five criminal felony counts, but it looked the other way as JPMorgan Chase was repeatedly charged with fraud involving the very same securities it was holding for the Fed. On November 15, 2013, JPMorgan Chase announced that it had agreed to pay $4.5 billion to settle claims by private investors that it had defrauded them in mortgage-backed securities. On November 19, 2013, JPMorgan agreed to pay $13 billion to settle claims by the Department of Justice, the FDIC, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and various State Attorneys General over its fraudulent practices involving mortgage-backed securities.

4.5% Mortgage Rates in 2023? That's the Latest Estimate from fannie mae
Mortgage rates are projected to decline next year - but that doesn't mean prospective homebuyers should necessarily delay a purchase for the prospect of lower financing costs. The rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage will fall to an average 4.5% in 2023, according to a recent housing forecast published by fannie mae, a government-sponsored lender. That dynamic would offer relief to would-be homebuyers who've seen mortgage rates balloon this year.
The Federal Reserve started increasing its benchmark interest rate in March to tame stubbornly high inflation, which has resulted in higher borrowing costs for consumers - who may feel a sense of whiplash from 2020, when rates bottomed out near historically low levels.

from yesterday
Mortgage Rates Continue to Move Up
The market's renewed perception of a more aggressive monetary policy stance has driven mortgage rates up to almost double what they were a year ago. The increase in mortgage rates is coming at a particularly vulnerable time for the housing market as sellers are recalibrating their pricing due to lower purchase demand, likely resulting in continued price growth deceleration.

A total of$2,189,3114,000,000Tin overall transactions on July 12th
These are explained in yesterdays post and links provided above
Reverse Repo:$2.153.750T for June 15th
Here is the meaning defined by the NYFRB: The New York Fed conducts repo and reverse repo operations each day as a means to help keep the federal funds rate in the target range set by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Operation results include all repo and reverse repo operations conducted, including small value exercises.
Doesn't really say much and pretty ambiguous sounding right? Reverse Repo is pulling 'cash out of the system' in exchange for Treasury Debt (in most cases or whatever the NYFRB and the counter-parties agree to) this is what triggered the 2008 crash and one of only $10B (they used it as the excuse and was completely planned-one of these caused the run on the money market system early in the morning on September 21st, 2008 AND it wasn't retail investors doing it as all of the outflows came from institutional accounts.....)so if one of over $2T-and EVERY NIGHT- doesn't crash it you must ask yourself are they being forced to this?...the answer is decidedly YESThe control aspect of this requires this to be "blown" up to the upside as if (((they))) crash it it will be bought back up 'cheap' and all legal and this whole process starts all over-we will be here MUCH longer.
from September 21, 2008 ALMOST ARMAGEDDON and they had been doing the Reverse Repos starting in early Sept so it basically 'caught' up to them-the hypothecation and rehypothecation problem-when everyone tries to claim the systems assets as collateral-so these Operations make sure that that doesn't habben again but they will try so don't think this is a guarantee that it won't habben-it is much moar highly levered now and they kind of have to do this too but they are being forced to this otherwise they would have crashed it and bought it back and then started the cycle again-they should have raised rates last year by what they are doing now but they did not....:p
....According to traders, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, money market funds were inundated with $500 billion in sell orders prior to the opening. The total money-market capitalization was roughly $4 trillion that morning.

A key point is that they are trying to manage rate expectations and why you've seen KANGZZZZ Bostic (Atlanta FED Pres.) be the goodcop/bad cop..today he was "bad cop" see here >>142840, >>142842 The GDPNow model estimate for real GDP growth in the second quarter of 2022 is -1.5 percent on July 15 and they use the 2 year note to telegraph what they want the FOMC to do with Prime Rates and then the shorter duration notes like 6 month, 1 year and 3 yea t o sortof "drive home the point. Nest week they will start working on the 10 year and 30 year Notes because they need to manage those for the mortgage markets-so you send a "message" with the shorter duration(s) in the 'Securities Lending Ops' and then manage the outcome of that with the 10 year and 30 year lending. You'll also notice that today the rate expectations for the next FOMC meeting are now showing 0.75% or 75 points and that may change again as the next GDPNOW update from the good/bad cop will be on Tuesday July 19th and only two full days between the last update today so they are working HARD to create,manage and get this recession "over" before they get caught out with inflation reading for Sept-that will show an increase-and then October's (releases after the Nov election) do NOT matter to them...it's all about getting to THAT day. A common misconception is that the Federal Reserve sets interest rates..they do NOT they are just the delivery boi....it is THIS process that sets rates.

Mortgage Electronic Registration Services (MERS)
This is where the FUGGERY starts in a big way (and they STILL do this-it's just under a different name now) this is key in the M.E.R.S. (Mortgage Electronic Registration System) mortgage and title problems-moar on that below-, possession, or ownership rights''' so they retain ownership of the asset but basically lend it out as collateral for a loan, or as a mechanism for Margin lending (if you trade they will give you a loan against the equities you hold in your account-it is costly and they really want you to do this-see Archegos Capital for when this process goes wrong in a big way but keep in mind that was a different arrangement where they had the banks hold the actual levered stocks they bought so they (Archegos) did not have to show them on the books. In a normal process if you take out a margin loan (and Elon Musk's attempted takeover of Twatter is a good example of this) as early there was a question on whether he had the funding and what he did was use equity from Tesla and took out a margin loan against that. He also sold $8.5B of Tesla to use as well as some of his remaining shares as collateral-he secured funding from other sources so his issue with a margin call on that part was removed at that point
Now imagine this on a YUGE scale with the banks, hedge funds , GSE's(fannie mae/Freddie Mac/Ginnemae-any Gov't/State and Municpal Debt, Mortgages, Commodities (yes even pork bellies and frozen concentrated orange juice, Stocks, Cryptos (yes even those)..essentially if it is debt or financial product-it is all hypothecated-NOTHING IS IMMUNE TO THIS. A key part of this process is what the Mortgage Backed Securities rely on-in some cases you can have a mortgage that exits many times AND in many places yet there is only one owner and this got really tricky in the early 2000s with the last housing bubble so the system developed a way to trade these back forth to each other while circumnavigating the municipal recording process that requires the owner of the mortgage to be recorded if it changed hands at the county (municipal) level. Well (((they))) din't want to do that as it's too time-consuming for them plus spend the $35 it cost them to do it each time. That doesn't sound like a lot but when we get to what they did with it all via the trusts that your mortgage (plus the title) are held in you'll see exactly why they wanted to do this-it was a MASSIVE cost savings to them for what they had planned for it. The other 'neat'.../s trick this allowed them to do what is called bifurcation of the actual mortgage note AND the title to the house. So, in essence splitting up the title from the actual mortgage so that they were never together.

Yen drops to fresh 24-year low vs U.S. dollar
The Japanese yen plunged against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday to its lowest since October 1998, as the Bank of Japan's ultra-loose monetary policy was in stark contrast to an aggressive Federal Reserve determined to stamp out soaring inflation. The yen dropped to a new 24-year low of 136.62 (it's low so far today-see cap #5 for current pricing and continuing to drop) per dollar , extending losses which have already seen it shed more than 18% of its value versus the greenback this year. https://www.reuters.com/markets/us/aussie-dlr-edges-up-rba-reaffirms-more-hikes-ahead-yen-struggles-2022-06-21/

QRB General #922: Devolution 22, Not For the Weak Minded Edition
Delinquencies, Foreclosures and REO
Last year, I pointed out that the foreclosure moratorium, combined with the expiration of a large number of forbearance plans, would NOT lead to a surge in foreclosures and impact house prices (as happened following the housing bubble). In September 2021, I wrote: With house prices up sharply year-over-year - up 16.6% nationally in May according to Case-Shiller - very few borrowers will have negative equity, and most seriously delinquent borrowers will be able to sell their house, as a last resort, and avoid foreclosure.
So, although foreclosures will increase from the record low levels, it will take some time (probably in 2022), and there will not be a huge wave of foreclosures like following the housing bubble.
Some simple definitions (for housing):
Forbearance is the act of refraining from enforcing mortgage debt.
Delinquency is the failure to make mortgage payments on a timely basis.
Foreclosure is when the mortgage lender takes possession of the property after the mortgagor failed to make their payments. "In foreclosure" is the process of foreclosure. REO (Real Estate Owned) is the amount of real estate owned by lenders. We will probably see an increase in REOs throughout 2022.
This graph shows the nominal dollar value of Residential REO for FDIC insured institutions. Note: The FDIC reports the dollar value and not the total number of REOs.
The dollar value of 1-4 family residential Real Estate Owned (REOs, foreclosure houses) increased slightly from $779 million in Q4 2021 to $788 million in Q1 2022. (Probably declined in 2020 and 2021 due to foreclosure moratoriums, forbearance programs and house price increases). We will probably see an increase in REOs throughout 2022.

The dollar value of 1-4 family residential Real Estate Owned (REOs, foreclosure houses) increased slightly from $779 million in Q4 2021 to $788 million in Q1 2022. (Probably declined in 2020 and 2021 due to foreclosure moratoriums, forbearance programs and house price increases). fannie mae reported the number of REO increased to 7,430 at the end of Q1 2022 compared to 6,918 at the end of Q1 2021. It is important to note that loans in forbearance are counted as delinquent in the various surveys, but not reported to the credit agencies.

QRB General #440: Patriots ARE In Control Edition
Biden administration unveils new measures to stave off foreclosures
Pandemic relief programs for homeowners are set to expire in coming weeks, months
The Biden administration on Friday unveiled plans to expand aid for homeowners with government-backed mortgages, an effort to stave off a wave of foreclosures for Americans who fell behind on payments during the coronavirus pandemic. The White House announced the new assistance as other pandemic relief programs for homeowners are set to expire: A federal ban on foreclosures will lapse on July 31, while a similar program that granted a reprieve to individuals with mortgages backed by fannie mae and Freddie Mac ends on Sept. 30. The latest steps are intended to allow homeowners who lost their income as a result of the pandemic to extend their monthly government-backed mortgage with lower payments, according to a White House fact sheet.
The three government agencies that back mortgages - the Departments of Housing and Urban Development, Veterans Affairs and Agriculture - will provide homeowners with a roughly 25% reduction in monthly principal and interest payments. The move is designed to bring the options available to homeowners with government-backed mortgages in line with what's offered to homeowners with mortgages backed by fannie and Freddie. In June, the White House extended the foreclosure moratorium for one final month until July 31 and the forbearance window until Sept. 30. An estimated 7.2 million American households took advantage of the forbearance option over the past 16 months, the administration said.
Lawmakers have cautioned that forbearance is not forgiveness: At some point, homeowners will owe the payments they chose to temporarily suspend. At the end of the forbearance plan, homeowners will be provided with several options to compensate for the missed payments -- but will not be required to pay everything back all at once in what's known as a "balloon payment," according to fannie mae. Frequently, mortgage lenders will tack on the balance that homeowners did not pay during the forbearance period onto the end of the loan.

QRB General #338: Troller In Chief Edition
U.S. Supreme Court bolsters presidential power over housing finance agency
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday made it easier for President Joe Biden to remove the head of the federal housing finance agency while also nixing separate claims brought by shareholders of mortgage finance companies fannie mae and Freddie Mac.
The court on a 7-2 vote upheld part of a lower court ruling that the Federal Housing Finance Agency's structure is unconstitutional under the separation of powers doctrine because the agency's lone director is insufficiently accountable to the president.
But the justices unanimously faulted the lower court for allowing the shareholders to pursue separate litigation challenging a 2012 agreement between the FHFA and the Treasury Department arising from the government's rescue of the mortgage finance firms following the 2008 housing crisis. The court, in an opinion authored by Justice Samuel Alito, sent the case back to lower courts on whether the shareholders can obtain compensation based on their constitutional claims. The court noted, however, that the shareholders could not seek to void the 20212 agreement altogether. Alito also cast doubt on the notion that any subsequent FHFA decisions implementing the 2012 agreement could be cast aside either, saying "there is no reason to regard any of the actions taken by the FHFA ... as void."
The ruling triggered the largest sell off in fannie mae and Freddie Mac in years in late-morning trading. The 37% drop in Freddie Mac shares was the largest since 2017 while the 39% plunge in fannie mae's stock was the largest since 2013. The FHFA is led by a single director who until Wednesday's ruling could be removed by the president only "for cause." The Supreme Court ruling, in line with a similar decision last year concerning the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, will give Biden and future presidents the authority to remove the head of the agency at any time. The FHFA's current director is Mark Calabria, who was appointed to the post by former President Donald Trump, and the ruling would make it easier for Biden to remove him if he chooses to do so.
The Supreme Court in a separate case involving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) ruled in June 2020 that the agency's single-director structure was unconstitutional, deciding that the president should be able to fire the director at any time. The 2012 agreement eliminated dividend payouts to various shareholders and required fannie and Freddie to pay the U.S. Treasury an amount equal to their quarterly net worth each quarter, which now totals billions of dollars. fannie and Freddie shareholders Patrick Collins, Marcus Liotta and William Hitchcock sued the FHFA and the Treasury Department in federal court in Texas in 2016 arguing that the 2012 agreement, sometimes referred to as the "net worth sweep," exceeded FHFA's authority and should be invalidated. Trump's administration appealed a 2019 ruling by the New Orleans-based 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that the lawsuit should not be permitted but agreeing with the challengers that FHFA's structure was unconstitutional because it infringed upon the power of president.
The U.S. government in 2008 seized fannie and Freddie, private enterprises set up by Congress, at the height of the financial crisis as they teetered on the brink of insolvency. The government took a majority stake in each and they were placed under the supervision of the FHFA, which was created at the same time.
The FHFA is headed by a director who is appointed to a five-year term by the president subject to confirmation by the U.S. Senate.

QRB General #187: Infinite Resilience Rollin [DS] Edition
Home Prices Are Soaring So Fast, They Are Negating The Benefits Of Low Mortgage Rates
A recent report in the Wall Street Journal that cited data from the National Association of Realtors and fannie mae caught our eye by highlighting an unfortunate reality of low interest rates: while they initially help even the playing field and make homes more affordable for more Americans, after a while, price appreciation will ultimately make housing less accessible for middle- and working-class Americans.
Using data combined with anecdotes from home buyers, WSJ illustrated how the rapid pace of price appreciation over the last year is affecting the outlook for the housing market, as high prices negate the impact of mortgage rates that are still near record lows.
Nationwide, the median existing-home sales price rose 16.2% in the first quarter to $319,200, a record high in data going back to 1989, NAR said. Prices are rising so rapidly that they are outweighing the benefit of rock-bottom borrowing rates. In the first quarter, the typical monthly mortgage payment rose to $1,067, from $995 a year earlier, NAR said, even as mortgage rates declined.
Of course, the frenzied state of the American real estate market is nothing new.
The other day, we reported that home sales prices in the country's hottest markets had risen by their widest level since 2006, according to the Case-Shiller Home Price Index, a closely watched measure of home prices in the US which offers a breakdown by region, as well as nationally. According to Case-Shiller, US home prices in 20 major cities are up a shocking 11.10% year-over-year. But outside the major metro markets, demand was even stronger, translating into the biggest YoY increase in median sales since 2006.
As for that data we noted earlier, the NAR found that 182 of the 183 regions it tracks are reporting higher median sales prices than the year prior. But even more notably, 89% of those areas are seeing prices up more than 10%.
Thus far, the housing boom has been so widespread in part due to low mortgage rates, which have made mortgages more affordable, and more obtainable, for middle-class Americans. But economists believe that the inflection point where buyers of more modest means are priced out of the market is near. In other words, it's one thing when ritzy markets like NYC and San Francisco see home prices boom. But when it starts happening in Boise, the outlook for price appreciation is much more limited, because the pool of potential interested buyers is much more limited.
Speaking of Boise...
In the Boise, Idaho, metro area, where median home prices surged 32.8%, Julie Cook struggled to find a house within her budget. She and her mother moved to Boise from Florida in January. Ms. Cook had looked at house listings before she moved and planned to buy a house in Boise for under $300,000. But by the time she arrived, there was little that amount could buy.
Ms. Cook ended up purchasing a townhouse for $330,000 in March. "It's really not my dream or anything," she said. "But I felt like I needed to, for mine and my mom's sake, find a place that we could afford."
Already, first-time home buyers are struggling with soaring prices, as those with limited budgets increasingly lose out to cash buyers, and economists at fannie mae are taking this into account. Record-low inventory is also a factor. Data show Americans are staying in homes longer, and that the number of homes on the market has tumbled as the pandemic has made many who already own comfortable homes less inclined to sell (whether that's due to the fear of letting strangers in their home in the middle of a pandemic, or the unwillingness to navigate the market as a buyer).
Across the country, and especially outside the big cities, brokers are warning that they have never seen demand so high. But for any investors looking for a potential opportunity to flip, just remember: while remote work is probably here to stay, the pace of this torrid market might not be as durable.
And if anything brings that home, it is this chart, as we noted earlier, showing home-buying sentiment has collapsed to its weakest since 1983.

Cryptocurrency Giant Binance.US Hires Former Top Bank Regulator
A former top U.S. banking regulator is set to join Binance.US, one of the world's biggest bitcoin exchanges, in the latest move by a cryptocurrency company to deepen its ties to Washington.
Brian Brooks, an acting head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency under the Trump administration, will become the new chief executive of Binance.US, the U.S. affiliate of overseas crypto-exchange giant Binance Holdings Ltd.
Mr. Brooks said in an interview that he would start the new job May 1. A spokeswoman for the crypto exchange confirmed the hire.
During his time at the OCC, Mr. Brooks was dubbed the "CryptoComptroller" on social media for his friendly attitude toward digital currencies. Under his watch, the OCC released guidance clarifying that banks could provide cryptocurrency custody services and use stablecoins to facilitate payment activities, moves that helped make it easier for traditional financial institutions to get into crypto. Stablecoins are a type of digital coin backed by a commodity or traditional currency like the U.S. dollar.
Mr. Brooks was acting head of the OCC, a unit of Treasury Dept, from May 2020 to January 2021. Before joining to OCC he was the cheid legal officer of Coinbase Global, Inc the US bitcoin exchange. He also previously worked as general counsel at mortgage giant fannie mae.

QRB General #36 The POWER of Anon Research Edition
Anons, some day you'll say, "I heard it on QRB first."
One day everyone will realize they owe quite a lot to a young intern with a penchant for blowjobs
Of course, it starts before 1993, but the foundation of the Cabal's attempt at a worldwide takeover really can be traced to Bill Clinton.
Epstain Island is a symptom. Think of JE as a control point. He extorted his way to money by getting proof of the pedo proclivities of a few wealthy victims and then began to take over their money. Imagine his influence if he was taking control of the heads of major corporations/banking/markets/governments. The first few were used to entice others into his sting. Of course, the nature of what these people were doing had to be so bad that their lives would be shattered if it came out....
...but what if not everyone who participated was actually a victim?
Some of the participants LIKED what they did, and wanted more. Enter Bill Clinton, whose rise to national politics was led by a compliant media. Why was the media compliant? Well, some are just on the take because they like $ and will say what they're told in order to get it. Some are compromised. Others are active participants, likely because they hoped to find themselves with the "in-crowd" when things went bad for our nation.
You see, the pedos refer to us as "normies" because we are not elevated to their perverted way of thinking, much like we refer to the "normies" as sheep. The pedos had (have) no intention of letting us continue, because their brave new world involves fucking kids (or worse) while enjoying fine dining in their favorite restaurants as part of THEIR normal course of living. Can't really expect to get away with that, not with US around, right?
So, Bill Clinton, a man who is provably willing to import drugs, bribe, extort, kill people and many other things to get his way, comes along. During his tenure as president (can't capitalize that word when referring to him, sorry), he was known for changing his position to the center. In actuality, what he was doing was playing his part in the long game to foment the racist divisions in America. People voted for a guy who refused to admit he smoked pot, might have had affairs, etc. In other words, he was a liar, but one who could "moderate." Americans expect their politicians to be douchebags, so we try to pick the most reliable ones in the hopes that a modicum of common sense will prevail.
And his choices in moderating, the give and take, led to the racial tensions and over-policing of America, as well as starting to weaken the country. His tenure also set the table for Sarbanes-Oxley, Dodd-Frank, fannie mae, Freddie Mac, and Obamacare. His tenure saw the NSA's tentacles expand, and he was the guy who put Lifelog into motion.
His downfall?
>Bill Clinton is a walking, talking hard-on.
His "untouchable" arrogance, long before he became president, led him to press his ham up against numerous women, some of whom you know about. But, his arrogance came with a price - it shined the light on his penchant for attempting to fuck everything that moved.
And Monica Lewinski was just dumb and young enough to not take rejection lightly.
So, bit by bit, people began to see Bill Clinton in a different light. And they also saw Hillary in a different light, when she failed to ditch the bum that quite obviously had fucked almost every woman in DC - EXCEPT HER.
Why not? Well, Hillary, you see, likes women more than she likes men. She likes kids more than she likes women. And she likes power most of all.
It turns out, enough of the women of America saw through her BS to avoid electing her. Guys weren't gonna vote for the old hag, anyway (assuming they weren't on the plantation or invested in Starbucks and soy futures).
And how did we get there?
A cum stain on a blue dress.
