'Out on a Limb': Erdogan 'Trapped Between Major Powers Tired of His Game'

Amid his attempts to salvage a collapsing situation in Syria's Idlib Governorate, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has few friends to turn to, having alienated every major power by playing them against one another for so long, an expert tells Sputnik.

In northern Syria in the past few weeks, a shooting war has broken out between Turkish forces in support of their proxies occupying Idlib and the Russian forces fighting alongside the Syrian Arab Army to retake the province for Damascus. Erodgan has tried and failed to invoke Article 5 of the NATO charter, which would have brought his European and American allies into the war on Ankara's side, and on Thursday, he is traveling to Moscow to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin directly.

Tom Luongo, independent politics, culture and market analyst at Gold Goats 'n Guns, told Radio Sputnik's Political Misfits Tuesday the Moscow summit would be "the tale of the tape, as it were," spelling out in no uncertain terms just how much - or how little - capability Erdogan has in this fight.

"I firmly believe that from the moment the Syrian operation began that Erdogan was promised most of Idlib and a 30-mile buffer zone between Turkey's southern borders and Syria's northern borders ... in order to effectively break up the two Kurdish cantons, two Kurdish enclaves in Syria. That's what Erdogan wants, and he also wants most of Idlib," Luongo said.

"I think he's been very - well, in his mind - skillfully managing both the United States and Russia to weasel them to get what he wants, playing both sides against each other at strategic times. He flip-flops constantly," Luongo noted. "One week he's hugging Putin for saving his life, and the next week he's asking [US President Donald] Trump for Patriot missile batteries … It goes back and forth, but Idlib has been kind of the thing that he's bargained for in all of his negotiations with Putin."

Luongo said that when Erdogan won the establishment of the de-escalation zone in September 2018 after the invasion of Idlib by Turkish forces earlier that year, that he firmly believed he had established a new southern border of Turkey by doing so.

"I think Erdogan has overplayed his hand. I think he's now into desperation mode. Remember two or three years ago, certainly right after the [2016] coup attempt, his popularity was still very strong. But he's lost two major regional elections in Turkey in the last 12 months - one in Istanbul and one in Ankara - and the latest poll that I've seen has his approval rating down in the low 40s. Salt that to taste, it's one poll, but it's been trending in that direction for a long time now."

"Unemployment is rising again. He's demanding the central bank get interest rates down into single digits while inflation is beginning to rise. None of this has anything to do with any kind of hybrid war pressure being placed on the lira because he's buying S-400s from the Russians, like in 2018. He's got real fiscal problems now. He's got $168 billion in Turkish corporate debt, which has to be rolled over in the next 12 months, and they don't have the money. And now he's ticked off everyone who helped him get through the last funding crisis in 2018, which stabilized the lira," Luongo said.

"So, he's going to Moscow on Thursday to try and cut a deal with Putin to get some of Syria and say 'Well, just give me something,' so he can save face at home and stay in power," he noted. "I don't think Putin's going to give him anything, because ultimately, at the end of the day, Putin doesn't need Erdogan. He needs Turkey, but he doesn't need him. I think at this point, everybody's tired of this guy constantly playing everybody against each other, and he finds himself trapped between major powers who are tired of his game. I don't think it's going to work for him here."

"I'm becoming convinced that, within a year, he's going to be out of power, and this time no one's going to save him," Loungo told hosts Bob Schlehuber and Jamarl Thomas. "He's out on a limb."

President Trump called for further rate cuts after the Federal Reserve slashed rates by half a percentage point

WASHINGTON/TOKY0 (Reuters) - The U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rates on Tuesday in an emergency move to shield the world's largest economy from the impact of the coronavirus, as Group of Seven finance officials pledged unspecified "appropriate" policy moves.
The Fed said it was cutting rates by a half percentage point to a target range of 1.00% to 1.25%. The decision was unanimous.

"The fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain strong. However, the coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity," it said in a statement.

President Donald Trump said a half point cut was not enough.

The coronavirus, which emerged in the central Chinese city of Wuhan late last year, has spread around the world, with more new cases now appearing outside China than inside.
It has decimated international air traffic and hit sports events, trade exhibitions, concerts, book fairs, prayer meetings and other large gatherings worldwide.

There are almost 91,000 cases globally of which more than 80,000 are in China. Infections have appeared in 77 other countries and territories, with Ukraine the latest to report its first case.

China's death toll was 2,943, with more than 125 fatalities elsewhere.

Finance ministers from the G7 group of rich countries were ready to take action, including fiscal measures where appropriate, Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said. central banks would continue to support price stability and economic growth.

"We reaffirmed our commitment to adopt all appropriate policy steps to protect the economy from downside risks posed by the coronavirus, and that we stand ready to cooperate further on timely and effective measures," Aso told reporters after a G7 call.

He offered no quick fix and said the desirable policy response would vary from country to country. Asked if all appropriate policy steps would include both monetary and fiscal measures, Aso said: "Yes, anything will be included."

Trump said the Fed needed to ease rates further to "come into line with other countries/competitors," Trump tweeted.

"We are not playing on a level field. Not fair to USA. It is finally time for the Federal Reserve to LEAD. More easing and cutting!" he tweeted.
AGGRESSIVE CONTAINMENT

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin applauded the "non-political" Fed move and told the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee that G7 finance ministers and central bank governors had agreed to "do everything possible" to limit economic harm.

He said the United States was not considering lowering tariffs on goods from China, after a bruising trade war with the world's second-largest economy, but would look at all options.

Global stock markets seesawed in volatile trade and gold prices rose more than 2% after the Fed move. Shares in Europe rose to trade more than 2% higher on the day.

Global stocks suffered a rout last week on fears that the disruption to supply chains, factory output and global travel caused by the epidemic could deal a serious blow to a world economy trying to recover from the U.S.-China trade war.

About 3.4% of reported coronavirus patients had died, World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in Geneva. As a percentage, seasonal flu, which infects hundreds of thousands each year worldwide, kills far fewer.

But the coronavirus outbreak, also known as COVID-19, could be controlled, he said.

"To summarize, COVID-19 spreads less efficiently than flu, transmission does not appear to be driven by people who are not sick, it causes more severe illness than flu, there are not yet any vaccines or therapeutics, and it can be contained."

China - where new coronavirus cases have been falling sharply and Tedros said the 129 in the last 24 hours was the lowest number since Jan. 20 - is increasingly concerned about the virus being brought back into the country by citizens returning from new hotspots elsewhere.

Travellers entering Beijing from South Korea, Japan, Iran and Italy would have to be quarantined for 14 days, a city official said. Shanghai has introduced a similar order.
SIX DIE IN SEATTLE

The worst outbreak outside China is in South Korea, where President Moon Jae-in declared war on the virus, ordering additional hospital beds and more masks as cases rose by 600 to nearly 5,000, with 34 deaths.

In the United States, the virus is now believed to be present in at least four communities in the Pacific Northwest.

Six people have died in an outbreak in Seattle. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists more than 90 cases nationwide, many of them patients repatriated from the Diamond Princess cruise liner that was quarantined in Japan.

US Equities Drop Despite Emergency Rate Cut By Fed, 10-Year Yield Sinks

The Federal Reserve cut interest rate by 50 basis points to the 1% to 1.25% range
Stocks initially rose on news of rate cut, then declined again
Australia, Malaysia central banks cut their interest rates

U.S. stocks were sharply lower in erratic trading at noon on Tuesday even though the Federal Reserve announced an emergency rate cut of 50 basis points to the 1% to 1.25% range in response to the threat from the coronavirus. The yield on the 10-year Treasury sank to another all-time intraday low of 1.031% as of 12 p.m.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 256.79 points to 26,446.53 while the S&P 500 fell 20.59 points to 3,069.64 and the Nasdaq Composite Index tumbled 52.59 points to 8,899.57.

In its statement the Fed said: "The fundamentals of the U.S. economy remain strong. However, the coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity."

The central bank added that it "is closely monitoring developments and their implications for the economic outlook and will use its tools and act as appropriate to support the economy."

In a subsequent press conference, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said: "My colleagues and I took this action to help the U.S. economy keep strong in the face of new risks to the economic outlook. The spread of the coronavirus has brought new challenges and risks."

However, the Fed's move only deepened worries about the magnitude of the virus' impact on economies.

"It's great that the Federal Reserve recognizes that there's going to be weakness, but it makes me feel, wow, the weakness must be much more than I thought," said Jim Cramer of CNBC. "I'm now nervous. I'm more nervous than I was before."

Earlier, the Group of Seven industrial powers and central bank chiefs issued a statement calling for a coordinated response to the effects of the coronavirus.

"We reaffirm our commitment to use all appropriate policy tools to achieve strong, sustainable growth and safeguard against downside risks," G7 stated. "G7 finance ministers are ready to take actions, including fiscal measures where appropriate, to aid in the response to the virus and support the economy during this phase. G7 central banks will continue to fulfill their mandates, thus supporting price stability and economic growth while maintaining the resilience of the financial system."

The Reserve bank of Australia on Tuesday reduced its cash rate by 25 basis points to 0.5%, a new all-time low. This was the RBA's fourth cut in less than a year. The central bank's governor Philip Lowe stated the coronavirus outbreak has a "significant effect" on Australia's economy and said the rate cut was designed to "provide additional support to employment and economic activity."

Fed cuts rates by half a percentage point to combat coronavirus slowdown

The Federal Reserve announced an emergency rate cut Tuesday of half a percentage point in response to the growing economic threat from the novel coronavirus.

The move was the first such cut since the financial crisis. It comes amid a volatile patch on Wall Street and amid a steady stream of hectoring from President Donald Trump, who has called for lower rates to stay competitive with policy at other global central banks.

"The coronavirus poses evolving risks to economic activity," the Fed said in a statement. "In light of these risks and in support of achieving its maximum employment and price stability goals, the Federal Open Market Committee decided today to lower the target range for the federal funds rate."

Markets had been widely expecting the U.S. central bank to take some type of action, with anticipation of a 50 basis point cut by the next Federal Open Market Committee meeting later this month. Goldman Sachs economists over the weekend said they anticipated a 50 basis point cut that could come before the meeting.

The move comes the same morning the G-7 announced that it would commit unspecified tools to help the global economy deal with the threat, and as Wall Street was in the midst of another market sell-off.

Markets immediately turned higher on the announcement.

In addition to the cut on its benchmark overnight borrowing rate, the Fed also announced a half-percentage-point cut on the interest it pays on excess bank reserves. The IOER is used as a guardrail for the fed funds rate.

Bernanke's reasoning in saying no to the muni bond facility was that he lacked the statutory tools.. The Fed is limited by statute to buying municipal government debt with maturities of six months or less that is directly backed by tax or other assured revenue, a form of debt that makes up less than 2% of the overall muni market.

The Federal Reserve Act was drafted by bankers to create a banker's bank that would serve their interests. It is their own private club, and its legal structure keeps all non-members out. A century after the Fed's creation, a sober look at its history leads to the conclusion that it is a privately controlled institution whose corporate owners use it to direct our entire economy for their own ends, without democratic influence or accountability. Substantial changes are needed to transform the Fed, and these will only come with massive public pressure.

Congress has the power to amend the Fed - just as it did in 1934, 1958 and 2010. For the central bank to satisfy its mandate to promote full employment and to become an institution that serves all the people, not just the 1%, the Fed needs fundamental reform.

Earlier central bank Ventures into Commercial Lending

That sounds like a radical departure today, but the Fed has ventured into commercial banking before. In 1934, Section 13(b) was added to the Federal Reserve Act, authorizing the Fed to "make credit available for the purpose of supplying working capital to established industrial and commercial businesses." This long-forgotten section was implemented and remained in effect for 24 years. In a 2002 article on the Minneapolis Fed's website called "Lender of More Than Last Resort," David Fettig noted that 13(b) allowed Federal Reserve banks to make loans directly to any established businesses in their districts, and to share in loans with private lending institutions if the latter assumed 20 percent of the risk. No limitation was placed on the amount of a single loan.

Fettig wrote that "the Fed was still less than 20 years old and many likely remembered the arguments put forth during the System's founding, when some advocated that the discount window should be open to all comers, not just member banks." In Australia and other countries, the central bank was then assuming commercial as well as central bank functions.

Section 13(b) was eventually repealed, but the Federal Reserve Act retained enough vestiges of it in 2008 to allow the Fed to intervene to save a variety of non-bank entities from bankruptcy. The problem was that the tool was applied selectively. The recipients were major corporate players, not local businesses or local governments. Fettig wrote:

Section 13(b) may be a memory, . . . but Section 13 paragraph 3 . . . is alive and well in the Federal Reserve Act. . . . [T]his amendment allows, "in unusual and exigent circumstances," a Reserve bank to advance credit to individuals, partnerships and corporations that are not depository institutions.

In 2008, the Fed bailed out investment company Bear Stearns and insurer AIG, neither of which was a bank. Bear Stearns got almost $1 trillion in short-term loans, with interest rates as low as 0.5%. The Fed also made loans to other corporations, including GE, McDonald's, and Verizon.

In 2010, Section 13(3) was modified by the Dodd-Frank bill, which replaced the phrase "individuals, partnerships and corporations" with the vaguer phrase "any program or facility with broad-based eligibility." As explained in the notes to the bill:

Only Broad-Based Facilities Permitted. Section 13(3) is modified to remove the authority to extend credit to specific individuals, partnerships and corporations. Instead, the Board may authorize credit under section 13(3) only under a program or facility with "broad-based eligibility."

What programs have "broad-based eligibility" is not clear from a reading of the Section, but it isn't individuals or local businesses. It also isn't state and local governments.

No Others Need Apply

In 2009, President Obama proposed that the Fed extend its largess to the cash-strapped cities and states battered by the banking crisis. "Small businesses and state and local governments are having serious difficulty obtaining necessary financing from debt markets," Obama said. He proposed that the Fed buy municipal bonds to cut their rising borrowing costs.

The proposed municipal bond facility would have been based on the Fed program to buy commercial paper, which had almost single-handedly propped up the market for short-term corporate borrowing. Investors welcomed the muni bond proposal as a first step toward supporting the market.

But Bernanke rejected the proposal. Why? It could hardly be argued that the Fed didn't have the money. The collective budget deficit of the states for 2011 was projected at $140 billion, a drop in the bucket compared to the sums the Fed had managed to come up with to bail out the banks. According to data released in 2011, the central bank had provided roughly $3.3 trillion in liquidity and $9 trillion in short-term loans and other financial arrangements to banks, multinational corporations, and foreign financial institutions following the credit crisis of 2008. Later revelations pushed the sum up to $16 trillion or more.

A Helicopter Drop That Missed Its Target

All this is far from the helicopter drop proposed by Ben Bernanke in 2002 as a quick fix for deflation. He told the Japanese, "The U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost." Later in the speech he discussed "a money-financed tax cut," which he said was "essentially equivalent to Milton Friedman's famous 'helicopter drop' of money." Deflation could be cured, said Professor Friedman, simply by dropping money from helicopters.

But there has been no cloudburst of money raining down on the people. The money has gotten only into the reserve accounts of banks. John Lounsbury, writing in Econintersect, observes that Friedman's idea of a helicopter drop involved debt-free money printed by the government and landing in people's bank accounts. "He foresaw the money entering the economy through bank deposits, not through bank reserves which was the pathway available to Bernanke. . . . [W]hen Ben Bernanke fired up his helicopter engines he took the only path available to him."

Bernanke created debt-free money and bought government debt with it, returning the interest to the Treasury. The result was interest-free credit, a good deal for the government. But the problem, says Lounsbury, is that:

The helicopters dropped all the money into a hole in the ground (excess reserve accounts) and very little made its way into the economy. It was essentially a rearrangement of the balance sheets of the creditor nation with little impact on the debtor nation.

. . . The fatal flaw of QE is that it delivers money to the accounts of the creditors and does nothing for the accounts of the debtors. Bad debts remain unserviced and the debt crisis continues.

Thinking Outside the Box

Bernanke delivered the money to the creditors because that was all the Federal Reserve Act allowed. If the Fed is to fulfill its mandate, it clearly needs more tools; and that means amending the Act. Harvard professor Ken Rogoff, who spoke at the November 2013 IMF conference before Larry Summers, suggested several possibilities; and one was to broaden access to the central bank, allowing anyone to have an ATM at the Fed.

Rajiv Sethi, Barnard/Columbia Professor of Economics, expanded on this idea in a blog titled "The Payments System and Monetary Transmission." He suggested making the Federal Reserve the repository for all deposit banking. This would make deposit insurance unnecessary; it would eliminate the need to impose higher capital requirements; and it would allow the Fed to implement monetary policy by targeting debtor rather than creditor balance sheets. Instead of returning its profits to the Treasury, the Fed could do a helicopter drop directly into consumer bank accounts, stimulating demand in the consumer economy.

John Lounsbury expanded further on these ideas. He wrote in Econintersect that they would open a pathway for investment banking and depository banking to be separated from each other, analogous to that under Glass-Steagall. banks would no longer be too big to fail, since they could fail without destroying the general payment system of the economy. Lounsbury said the central bank could operate as a true public bank and repository for all federal banking transactions, and it could operate in the mode of a postal savings system for the general populace.

Amend the Fed: We Need a central bank that Serves Main Street
by
Ellen Brown

December 23rd marks the 100th anniversary of the Federal Reserve. Dissatisfaction with its track record has prompted calls to audit the Fed and end the Fed. At the least, Congress needs to amend the Fed, modifying the Federal Reserve Act to give the central bank the tools necessary to carry out its mandates.

The Federal Reserve is the only central bank with a dual mandate. It is charged not only with maintaining low, stable inflation but with promoting maximum sustainable employment. Yet unemployment remains stubbornly high, despite four years of radical tinkering with interest rates and quantitative easing (creating money on the Fed's books). After pushing interest rates as low as they can go, the Fed has admitted that it has run out of tools.

At an IMF conference on November 8, 2013, former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers suggested that since near-zero interest rates were not adequately promoting people to borrow and spend, it might now be necessary to set interest at below zero. This idea was lauded and expanded upon by other ivory-tower inside-the-box thinkers, including Paul Krugman.

Negative interest would mean that banks would charge the depositor for holding his deposits rather than paying interest on them. Runs on the banks would no doubt follow, but the pundits have a solution for that: move to a cashless society, in which all money would be electronic. "This would make it impossible to hoard cash outside the bank," wrote Danny Vinik in Business Insider, "allowing the Fed to cut interest rates to below zero, spurring people to spend more." He concluded:

. . . Summers' speech is a reminder to all liberals that he is a brilliant economist who grasps the long-term issues of monetary policy and would likely have made an exemplary Fed chair.

Maybe; but to ordinary mortals living in the less rarefied atmosphere of the real world, the proposal to impose negative interest rates looks either inane or like the next giant step toward the totalitarian New World Order. Business Week quotes Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office: "We've had four years of extraordinarily loose monetary policy without satisfactory results, and the only thing they come up with is we need more?"

Paul Craig Roberts, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, calls the idea "harebrained." He is equally skeptical of quantitative easing, the Fed's other tool for stimulating the economy. Roberts points to Andrew Huszar's explosive November 11th Wall Street Journal article titled "Confessions of a Quantitative Easer," in which Huszar says that QE was always intended to serve Wall Street, not Main Street. Huszar's assignment at the Fed was to manage the purchase of $1.25 trillion in mortgages with dollars created on a computer screen. He says he resigned when he realized that the real purpose of the policy was to drive up the prices of the banks' holdings of debt instruments, to provide the banks with trillions of dollars at zero cost with which to lend and speculate, and to provide the banks with "fat commissions from brokering most of the Fed's QE transactions."

Gold ends sharply higher after biggest daily drop in nearly 7 years

Gold futures rebounded on Monday, tacking on nearly 2% after suffering the sharpest drop since 2013 in the previous session, finding support as central banks promise to act appropriately to mitigate the effect of a viral outbreak that is expected to hurt global economies and supply chains.

bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda said the central bank would take steps to steady markets, and bolster liquidity through short-term lending operations and asset purchases. On Friday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell issued a rare, unscheduled statement, emphasizing the central bank's intention to act appropriately to address the risks posed by the coronavirus.

A second death from the virus in the U.S., has raised fears of a wider spread of the disease domestically and investors are starting to believe that the Fed and other central banks will act to tamp down expected economic shocks from COVID-19, the infectious disease that originated in Wuhan, China late last year and has rapidly spread across the globe.

The global death toll from the illness stands at more than 3,000, and deaths in China stand at 2,900, according to recent reports. There are fewer margin calls in the stock market Monday and growing expectations of Fed moves as markets are signaling rate cuts, said George Gero, managing director at RBC Wealth Management, in a note.

Expectations for a Fed interest rate cut at the March 18 meeting are rising "and gold's appeal as a safe haven is still strong" as the likelihood of "further coronavirus problems and upcoming political headlines in the U.S., Israel, South America, Greece, eurozone and Middle East worries are still intact." In Monday dealings, gold for April delivery GCJ20, +1.97% on Comex rose $28.10, or 1.8%, to settle at $1,594.80 an ounce. It fell nearly 5% on Friday-the biggest one-day percentage loss since the week ended June 20, 2013. The metal last week also booked a weekly slide of about 5%. Still, gold is up more than 4% so far this year, according to FactSet data, based on the most-active contracts.

May silver SIK20, +1.99%, meanwhile, rose 28.2 cents, or 1.7%, to $16.739 an ounce, after registering a more than 7% drop on Friday, which contributed to a weekly skid of about 11.6%. The white metal marked its sharpest weekly slide since the period ended April 19, 2013. Silver is down around 7% so far this year.

Providing an added boost to haven demand for the precious metals, the Institute for Supply Management said its U.S. manufacturing index dipped to 50.1% last month from 50.9% as most U.S. manufacturers said business began to slow to a crawl. Among other metals, May copper HGK20, +2.32% added 2.2% to $2.595 a pound, April platinum PLJ20, -0.38% fell by 0.6% to $859.40 an ounce and June palladium PAM20, -2.79% shed nearly 2.6% to $2,427.70 an ounce.

both. The had an actual earthquake on land that was very benign. The bombs placed in the pacific trench were set off at the same time. If you look at the footage from the incoming tsunami the houses are not quake damaged to the extent that a 9.1 quake would have produced. The USGS also suppressed data from the real earthquake on land- think it was low 6. Japan is built for that shit and would have withstood that size so control structure decided to get back at Japan for stating in public that they would start uranium enrichment for Iran.

It was also a point , financially speaking, that the BOJ had to start printing massively and they balked…hence a message was delivered. The financial markets got a two-fer with that. Crisis and a massive infusion.

A Brief History of the Federal Reserve's Emergency Rate Shifts

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and bank of America Corp. economists are among those suggesting Federal Reserve policy makers could deliver an emergency interest rate cut if fears about the coronavirus continue to roil financial markets.

Goldman's economists say Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and colleagues will cut their benchmark by 50 basis points at or by the time they are set to meet on March 17-18. At bank of America, economists say "an emergency cut" is possible by that scheduled gathering.

Such a move would be rare, yet not unprecedented. Here's a brief history of when Fed officials have convened by conference call and delivered an inter-meeting shift to monetary policy:

Oct. 8, 2008
As the September collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. roiled financial markets and raised recession fears, the Fed cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points to 1.5% as part of a coordinated action.

"The Committee took this action in light of evidence pointing to a weakening of economic activity and a reduction in inflationary pressures," the Federal Open Market Committee said. It would go on to ultimately cut its main rate as low as 0.25%.

Jan. 22, 2008
The Fed cut its key rate by 75 basis points to 3.5% after stock markets tumbled amid increasing signs of a U.S. recession.

Policy makers said in a statement that they acted "in view of a weakening of the economic outlook and increasing downside risks to growth."

this was the instance of a Societe Generale trader (it being one person is entirely bullshit) dumped a massive amount of futures contracts (derivatives) trying to mask the upcoming loss that SocGen was about to report so the FOMC panicked and dropped rates by the reported amount
As in most of these cases it's not a 'rogue' trader as there is NFW any one person can amass a position this large without compliance knowing it. The excuses, at the time, was that he "hacked " the compliance desk…total bullshit..they knew what was going on and if he made money this would have never seen the light of day.

Aug. 17, 2007
The Fed lowered its discount rate – the rate it charges banks – by 50 basis points to 5.75% as the subprime-mortgage collapse continued to roil financial markets.

"The Federal Reserve is providing liquidity to facilitate the orderly functioning of financial markets," the statement said.

Sept. 17, 2001
Days after the 9/11 attacks, the Fed cut its main rate by 50 basis points to 3% and promised to provide markets with "unusually large volumes of liquidity."

central banks in Europe and Canada matched the action.

April 18, 2001
Policy makers cut their benchmark interest rate a half-percentage point in an effort to shore up a slumping economy. It lowered its target rate for overnight loans between banks to 4.5% from 5%.

The Fed "has reviewed prospects for the economy in light of the information that has become available since its March meeting," the Fed said in a statement.

Jan. 3, 2001
With the technology stock bubble having burst the previous year, the central bank began a new year cutting its benchmark by 50 basis points to 6%. It was quite a shift from a few weeks earlier when the Fed had said the economic risks leaned towards inflation.

"These actions were taken in light of further weakening of sales and production, and in the context of lower consumer confidence, tight conditions in some segments of financial markets, and high energy prices sapping household and business purchasing power," officials said.

Oct. 15, 1998
As Russia's financial crisis and the collapse of Long Term Capital Management threatened a credit crunch, the Fed cut by 25 basis points to 5%.

"Growing caution by lenders and unsettled conditions in financial markets more generally are likely to be restraining aggregate demand in the future," it said.

April 18, 1994
The Fed can also hike rates outside of its normal schedule. That's what happened here when it increased its rate to 3.75% from 3.5%.

"Chairman Alan Greenspan announced today that the Federal Reserve will increase slightly the degree of pressure on reserve positions," the statement said. "This action is expected to be associated with a small increase in short-term money market interest rates."

Chinese Exchanges open for a little less than 30 minutes. Looking for the PBOC to intervene again. Cap #2 is current Asian index look


Stock futures rose on Monday(they were down as much as 1.3% about an hour ago) even as investors were presented with weekend data from China that showed its fastest ever contraction in factory activity, raising fears of a global recession from the coronavirus.
Munchkins summoned the ESF-Exchange Stabilization Fund.
China's official manufacturing PMI plunged to 35.7 in February, a record low, from 50 in January. A reading below 50 indicates contraction in a sector. Gaming revenues in Macau also plunged nearly 88% last month.
Oil prices dropped to their lowest in more than a year and even gold plunged as holders liquidated what they could to cover margin calls (COUGH!) on riskier investments.
The implied yield on U.S. 10-Year Treasury futures TYv1 traded below 1% for the first time, as investors grew increasingly unnerved by the spread of coronavirus. Treasury futures jumped at the open of trading on Sunday night as investors took little solace from weekend comments by U.S. officials that aimed to soothe panic about a pandemic. Stock futures opened lower. Stock markets plunged last week, with an index of global stocks setting its largest weekly fall since the 2008 financial crisis, and more than $5 trillion wiped off the value of stocks worldwide. At one point on Friday afternoon the 10-year yield reached 1.1159%, marking a record low for the fourth consecutive day, after comments by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cast doubt on whether the U.S. central bank would act quickly on rates. The movement also steepened the portion of the U.S. Treasury yield curve
Later in the week, central bank meetings in Australia, on Tuesday, and Canada, on Wednesday, will be closely watched.

Oil bounces from multi-year lows as hopes of OPEC+ cut, stimulus offset virus impact

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Oil prices pared losses after earlier hitting multi-year lows on Monday as hopes that a bigger than expected production cut from OPEC and stimulus from central banks could offset economic gloom from the coronavirus outbreak. Flight cancellations and travel bans by countries worldwide sparked fears about the global economy, leading to the biggest weekly stock market rout since the 2008 financial crisis last week. China's factory activity also shrunk at the fastest pace ever in February, underscoring the colossal damage from the coronavirus outbreak on the world's second-largest economy. Several key members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) are mulling an additional production cut of 1 million barrels per day, more than the 600,000 bpd proposed last month, on growing fears that the virus outbreak will hit oil demand badly. OPEC and its allies including Russia, a grouping known as OPEC+, have already been curbing oil output by 1.7 million bpd under a deal that runs to the end of March.

Goldman Now Sees 2 Rate Cuts In Next 2 Weeks, Expects "Coordinated" central bank Easing

It was just Friday that Goldman finally gave up on its bizarrely optimistic global outlook that it had adopted in late 2019, and instead of seeing no rate cuts - or hikes - in 2020, the bank's chief economist Jan Hatzius capitulated, and said that the Fed will likely cut at least three times in the first half to offset the global economic slowdown due to the coronavirus, late on Sunday, just 48 hours after its first rate forecast revision, Goldman has officially thrown in the towel on even a trace of optimism for the foreseeable future, and now expects not only the Fed to cut 4 times by the end of Q2, but also cautions of a a high risk that the easing it expects over the next several weeks could occur "in coordinated fashion, perhaps as early as the coming week", which of course is disappointing for all those who were hoping the Fed would step in as soon as Sunday afternoon/evening.

In justifying the implosion of its outlook, Haztius writes that "on Friday morning, we downgraded our baseline view of global GDP growth in 2020 from just over 3% to around 2% on the back of developments related to the coronavirus, with weakness concentrated in the first half of the year. We also changed our Fed call to project 75bp of rate cuts by June, starting with a 25bp cut on March 18."

This was on Friday morning. Since then, so over the weekend, it appears that newsflow has taken a decided turn for the worse, and as Goldman adds, "the news on the outlook has remained negative, with significant further increases in infections outside of China and an exceptionally weak China PMI release. Moreover, the statement by Fed Chair Powell on Friday afternoon that the Federal Reserve is "closely monitoring" developments and "will use [its] tools and act as needed to support the economy" strongly hints at a rate cut at or even before the March 17-18 FOMC meeting."

Based on these developments, Goldman is making further adjustment to its Fed call and now projects a 50bp rate cut by March 18 followed by another 50bp of easing in Q2, for a total of 100bp in the first half. Which means that the US Fed Funds rate will be just above zero as the US enters the second half, and has a high chance of tipping negative around the time of the election. Hatzius explains:

The clear signal in Chair Powell's statement has led the bond market to price in more than 25bp of easing, and the FOMC will not want the cut to come as a disappointment in the present situation.

But wait, there's more: Goldman is now also forecasting rate cuts by most other G10 (and some EM) central banks, including a cumulative 100bp of cuts in Canada, 50bp in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, India and South Korea, and 10bp in the Euro area and Switzerland. The chart below shows Goldman's new central bank forecasts along with market pricing as of Friday's close.

U.S. bank lobby economist predicts global rate cut coming … this Wednesday

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Investors battered by the breathtaking drop in global stock markets on coronavirus fears are ever more convinced the world's big central banks, including the Federal Reserve, will soon step in to try to quell the storm.

Against that, the top economist for the U.S. bank lobby - a former Fed insider - issued a remarkably specific prediction on Sunday that the rescue is nigh.

In a blog titled "Don't keep your powder dry" here, Bill Nelson, chief economist at the bank Policy Institute who worked on the Fed's responses to the 2007-2008 financial crisis, predicted:** A coordinated global interest rate cut by the top central banks, such as the one executed at the height of the crisis in October 2008 by the Fed and five other central banks. They will possibly include in this action the People's bank of China and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the two banks whose economies have so far suffered most from the outbreak.

** It will happen this Wednesday, March 4. Nelson noted that the previous big coordinated actions in December 2007, October 2008 and November 2011 all occurred on a Wednesday.

** It will happen before the U.S. stock market opens, either 7 a.m. or 8 a.m. ET (1200 or 1300 GMT).

** It will be big: half a percentage point at least. The Fed's current benchmark lending rate is set in a range of 1.50-1.75%, and rate futures markets are pricing in a cut of at least a quarter percentage point at the Fed's next scheduled meeting March 17-18. "The only way to get a positive market reaction is to deliver more than expected," he wrote.

** It will include "forward guidance" - a central bank term for some form of pledge regarding future policy action. Nelson said he would not be surprised to see something aimed at preventing a further erosion of inflation, something the Fed and other central banks have been battling for most of the past decade. His suggestion: The Fed pledges not to raise rates or take other policy tightening actions until its preferred measure of inflation is above its formal target of 2% for six months. Alongside his predictions for a globally coordinated move - something many investors and economists worry could well fall short of what's needed because of depleted tool kits at the world's big central banks - Nelson in a related post here said the Fed could loosen a number of requirements and other regulations on U.S. banks to help keep credit moving.

Regarding the rate cut, however, Nelson does offer one big caveat: "If markets are calm Monday and Tuesday, I'm not sure what will happen."

He would not be off-base as the CME FED watch is now at 100% for rate cut at the March 18th mtg. See Cap.
Bond markets already cut rates-just a question of when the FOMC delivers the news..early or wait until the March 18th scheduled announcement.

China's Vulnerable Markets Face Deluge of New Shares, Bonds

China's cracking stock market recovery may soon face a real test: a flood of share sales and corporate-bond issuance as firms rush to make the most of favorable policies.

The number of mainland-listed companies that announced plans in February to sell additional shares was the highest since April 2016 at 40, according to Bloomberg-compiled data. CICC analysts predict as many as 30% of firms may plan non-public stock sales the next year, which would exceed the level in 2015, when a stock bubble formed and burst. Meanwhile, the value of onshore corporate debt issued by Chinese borrowers last month more than doubled year-ago levels.

While Chinese regulators expect greater corporate access to financing to help cushion the coronavirus impact on an economy that was already slowing, a spike in equity and bond supply is likely to siphon off cash from existing securities.

The resilience of Chinese financial assets last month was built on little more than optimism about government liquidity, but showed signs of falling apart last week with surging volatility amid a global stock rout. Yet while the Shanghai Composite Index had its worst week in 10 months, some stock benchmarks globally had their worst in 10 years or more. Last month, China's central bank vowed to guide borrowing costs lower, and the country's securities regulator significantly relaxed the grip on public companies' follow-on stock offerings. They're among myriad government efforts to bolster economic growth amid persisting production hiccups due to the virus outbreak.

Among key changes to the rules on selling additional equity, the China Securities Regulatory Commission shortened by half the lock-up period for shares placed privately and allowed companies to provide bigger discount to lure investors. Also, firms on the small-cap ChiNext no longer have to be profitable for two straight years before being qualified to hold non-public stock offerings.

Most of the firms announcing equity-sale plans in February were cash-strapped, not-state-owned entities. "The private sector has been suffering from severe funding crunch in the past several years" due to the government's deleveraging campaign, said Li Changmin, managing director at Snowball Wealth in Guangzhou. "So nearly all companies in the private sector are likely in demand to raise money."

One firm not low on cash but still announcing a stock-sale plan last week was profitable Chinese battery giant Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., a supplier of Tesla Inc. CATL is looking to raise as much as 20 billion yuan in a private share placement to fund research and expansion efforts. Its stock fell 11% in the two days following the announcement, cutting 2020's gain to 28%. Policy makers will have to tread a fine line between meeting the financing needs of companies, particularly small businesses, and preventing a stock market rout as the coronavirus' domestic economic impact becomes clearer. The Shanghai Composite fell 12% in 2016, the most in five years and among the world's worst performers, as a record 1.1 trillion yuan of additional shares was sold. Authorities clamped down on such offerings, and just 135 billion yuan was issued last year.

Modern Monetary Theory is an old Marxist Idea

There is nothing new under the sun

Modern Monetary Theory, or "MMT", has been getting a lot of attention lately, often celebrated as a revolutionary breakthrough. However, there is absolutely nothing new about it. The very basis of the theory, the idea that governments can finance their expenditures themselves and therefore deficits don't matter, actually goes back to the Polish Marxist economist, Michael Kalecki (1899 - 1970).

MMT as a centralisation tool

MMT says that the national debt means that we owe the money to ourselves, so the central bank in combination with the approval and blessings of the political branch can now together spend as much as they want without facing any consequences. In other words, we can print our way to prosperity. The only real problem according to the theory is that there is not enough money and not that resources are scarce and therefore limited. To understand the basic idea behind this, let's use the game "Monopoly" as an example. If players decide to double the amount of monopoly-money to play with, the logical outcome will be that people start to pay much higher prices e.g. for the same amount of locations. Whenever more money is chasing the same amount of goods, prices will rise. Another lesson is that the bank will always win, especially when it has the power to change the rules at any time during the game.

The main cause for most of the problems of our days is the current central banking system. But how many people have ever thought about what money is, or how did it came into existence? How many know whether it was always used a debt security by government declaration or if it once was a property title, as it still pretends to be? Well, I can tell you that over the past decades, I haven't met a lot of people who really thought about these questions. At the same time, our public education system and the mass media ensure that the next generation won't think about them either. Meaningless distractions, alternative facts and daily doses of fear effectively crush most inquisitive instincts. It's a process that Immanuel Kant recognized a long time ago and described in the following way: "First, these guardians make their domestic cattle stupid and carefully prevent the docile creatures from taking a single step without the leading strings to which they have fastened them. Then, they show them the danger that would threaten them if they should try to walk by themselves. Now this danger is really not very great; after stumbling a few times they would, at last, learn to walk." However, examples of such failures intimidate and generally discourage all further attempts."

PUBLISHED 54 MINUTES AGO
The bank for International Settlements said on Sunday that financial markets had functioned resiliently during last week's coronavirus-sparked sell-off and this was a sign that post-crisis reforms were doing their job.

The BIS, dubbed the central bank to central banks, called the near $6 trillion wipeout in world stocks last week a "rude awakening" for investors, but said there were no signs of it having the potential to turn into a financial crisis.

"For all the turmoil and anxiety, both market functioning and financial intermediation more generally proved resilient," the head of the BIS' Monetary and Economic Department, Claudio Borio, said in the umbrella group's latest quarterly report.

Some of the diplomats were appointed by al-Bashir himself and the others were picked through his now dissolved National Congress Party, said Taha Othman, a member of the committee.

Earlier this month, the committee dissolved the boards of the country's central bank and 11 other state-owned banks and fired the managers of eight of the banks.

It also seized the assets of the former ruling party last month.

Global Demographic Fact Vs. central bank Sorcery

Summary

The annual growth of the working-age population is the organic baseline for growth in national, regional, and global consumption.
However, since World War II, interest rate policy has moved inversely of annual working-age population growth, to incent ever more debt as working-age population growth has decelerated to nothing.
Interestingly, total annual change in energy consumption has mirrored annual working-age population growth.except where synthetic growth has been temporarily substituted to maintain the appearance of growth (aka, China).
Eventually, the inorganically rising consumption and asset prices will return to their organic baseline.and that will be a very rude new dawn for those who believed in infinite growth.

The 1st world economy lives within a fractional reserve banking system. In a fractional reserve system, one persons debt is the systems new money, as money is lent into existence. At a progressive rate since 1980, it has been the combination of decelerating working-age population growth, declining interest rates, and ramping utilization of privately loaned debt that has simultaneously been the basis for increasing consumption and the creation of new money. As borrowers undertook new loans prior to 2008, this borrowing was the primary means of monetary growth. However, the changing demography since 2008 has changed everything as population growth has shifted from young to old...and federal governments and central banks have taken over money creation via monetization resulting in asset inflation.

New debt is primarily undertaken in the 1st world nations where income and savings are higher but also credit is readily available and standards for this credit vary widely, by asset type (zero for student loans, low for vehicles, moderate to high for homes...since '07).
It is primarily the working-age population that undertakes new debt while those in the post working age population tend to deleverage and pay down existing loans (this has the opposite monetary effect of destroying money).
From 1950 to 2008, it was the significantly larger developed world growth of the working-age population over that of the post working-age population that supported new debt, money creation, and rising asset prices...the current and future reversal of these proportions is the likely rationale for federal governments and central banks to engage in ZIRP, NIRP, QE, and other activist / experimental policies to offset the demographic driven collapse in the money supply.
The lending amid the declining working age population among the developed world and the decelerating growth among Asia cannot be made up by accelerating demographic growth in Africa. Global inequality and lack of broadly shared wealth means Africa hasn't the income, savings, and/or access to credit to provide significant global demand.

So, it's the growth of the working-age population in the developed world that is critical for the growth of money within a fractional reserve system. And that working-age growth need be significantly greater than the growth of the credit averse post working-age population. Growth among the working-age population in Asia (excluding East Asia + Singapore) and/or Africa has relatively little impact as the vast majority there have relatively little income, savings, and/or access to credit.
I divide the world into three mega-regions: developed world, Asia, Africa.
They consist of the following and as of 2020, with following proportions...
Developed World = Western Hemisphere, Oceania, West/East Europe Including Russia), East Asia (China, Japan, Taiwan, S/N Korea)

Trump Admin Considering Tax Cuts, Pressuring Powell To Cut Rates In Hopes Of Containing Coronavirus Fallout

It appears that every response offered by the Trump administration to contain the coronavirus pandemic, is wrong.

In a late Friday article, the WaPo reported that the Trump administration officials are holding preliminary conversations about economic responses to the coronavirus, and with stocks suffering their worst week since the collapse of AIG, "among the options considered are pursuing a targeted tax cut package". Additionally, Trump cronies are also discussing whether the White House should lean even harder on the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates, even though in a surprise announcement on Friday afternoon, Fed Chair Powell the central bank on Friday afternoon said it would step in if necessary.

While the explanation is hardly necessary, the WaPo also points out that "these ideas would not be designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus, but they would seek to arrest the economic fears spreading through the economy. And some of the ideas would need cooperation from Congress or the Fed, as the White House has limited powers to unilaterally rewrite tax policy or direct the central bank to act."

And yet the reason why the market barely even glanced at this report from WaPo, is that if a business revenue has collapsed as global supply chains implode and as consumer demand tumbles as Americans opt to stay locked up inside until the pandemic passes, there is no pre-tax income, and thus no taxes to pay, so cutting the tax rate has zero effect on anything.

What's worse, if this is the best the Trump admin can come up with, it means the president refuses to even acknowledge how serious the situation is, when instead by this point Trump should at least be grasping the catastrophic dilemma the entire world is now facing, one which BofA called "an impossible trade-off" facing authorities:

Adopt the Draconian quarantine measures seen in China and trigger a global recession as worldwide economic activity grinds to a halt
Risk a pandemic by failing to take more aggressive action on Covid-19, also resulting in a global recession

That Trump is unwilling to proceed with either one of these two options - and only two as there is nothing more Trump can do absent pulling a page from the Hong Kong playbook and handing out $10,000 to every US citizen - means that the Coronavirus pandemic in the US will only get worse… assuming the CDC ever starts running the right tests to find out just how many Americans are infected.

Britain bought a record amount of Russian gold last year, spending over $5 BILLION

Sales of Russian gold abroad jumped eight-fold last year to $5.7 billion, with almost all of that volume purchased by the United Kingdom.

According to customs data seen by RBC business news outlet, gold exports to Britain have grown more than 12 times in terms of value, to $5.33 billion.

Supplies to the UK accounted for 93 percent of all Russian gold exports. Twelve other countries, including Kazakhstan and Switzerland, bought only $409 million-worth of Russian gold.

In physical terms, gold exports from Russia to the United Kingdom in 2019 increased 11 times, from 10.4 tons to 113.5 tons.

Almost the entire volume of deliveries to the UK is gold bullion. Taking into the account the London standard (an ingot weighing about 12.5 kg), it turns out that Russia delivered at least 9,000 ingots to the UK last year.

In addition to gold, Russia also increased the export of platinum (doubled to $936 million) and silver (2.5 times, to $100 million) to the UK.

Experts say that, in general, the scale of gold inflows to the United Kingdom most likely reflects global trends in demand for the precious metal and the country's traditional role as a center for its trade and storage.

According to Oleg Shibanov, a professor of finance at the New Economic School in Russia, there was certainly a Brexit factor which could affect British investors, along with "many other uncertainties," such as the US-China trade war.

Russia has continued filling its coffers with gold, having added almost seven tons of the precious metal to its reserves in January. The country's total gold holdings amounted to 73.2 million troy ounces (2,276.8 tons) as of February 1, and are worth around $116 billion, according to the latest data from the central bank of Russia.

Libor Plunges Most Since 2008 After Virus Spurs Bets on Fed Cuts

One of the world's most important borrowing benchmarks on Friday staged its biggest one-day drop in more than a decade.

The three-month London interbank offered rate for dollars – a benchmark for trillions of dollars in financial products globally – sank 11.8 basis points to 1.46275%. That's the biggest one-day slide since December 2008 at the height of the global financial crisis. The move Friday reflects a market that's pricing a more aggressive pace of monetary-policy easing from the U.S. central bank to cope with the economic impact of the coronavirus.Futures traders are pricing in 86 basis points of Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts in 2020. That's the equivalent of more than three standard quarter point cuts, and the first of these is almost fully priced in for as soon as March. A week ago, the market was pricing in just 48 basis points by year-end, but traders have amped up bets drastically this week as virus concerns have battered stocks around the world and sent investors rushing into haven assets.

I suggest you screen shot this. You guys have no idea what really is taking place!

Take a good look at what is going on around the world. Now, take a good look at what's taking place in this country. The media won't show you. It doesn't take a genius to know that you are all being lied to and clearly no one here is smart enough to see the forest for the trees because you follow the "plants" here like a bunch of mindless fools! You are serving their needs; everything as they have planned for so long!

Do you really think an unknown identity on the internet is trying to help the President to "save humanity and to end corruption?" Do you know who Satoshi Nakamoto is? I suggest you find out more about this if you don't - Do you know "HE" really is, who they are? Has the identity ever been made public/verified? There is a very vital reason why bitcoin/crypto/blockchain was created. A very specific reason! Along with all the other technical advances that have been made. What's the difference between "q" and Satoshi?

If my true goal was malintent, and I succeed in getting others to convince you that I am good, then I have influence. If I can get them to convince you that I am for you, then I have your trust. If I can get them to convince everyone around you to think and feel the same, then I have I authority, and if I convince you that those that lead you to me as being evil, then I have control. Full control over all of you! This control wouldn't come easy or "free." RED or BLUE, it doesn't matter.

Why did Trump tell the parable about the snake? What does the snake represent?

Understand that free will is an important part of this plan. What YOU reap, you sow.

You are given the truths, although it's a lie. You are given lies that are actually true, and you are given the truth that only half-truth but ultimately you are given the chance to decide. How you interpret it all is important because you set the path for yourself and others to follow.

The biggest event in history is taking place to set the stage. If none of you take to the streets, take your local/state/government back, protest and do something now to take it all back, humanity is lost! Wake the fuck up! I can assure you that I am well aware of what's really going on because of the part I had taken; many of us do. Many are just too afraid to draw too much attention to the TRUTH (internals). We have tried our best to expose their plans to you but we can't be as direct as we want. This is not allowed. It is up to you to listen, and decide, and to search out what is being pointed out, to see things as they really are! The world you live in is not.

As of right now, how many countries are without a RothsChild owned central bank? Once they are all gone, what's next to take place?

Now - why is this "pandemic" needed? Do you really think this virus got out by accident? Should you trust your leaders? Will it really be gone for good? Will it come back? Will it serve a greater purpose?

There are two groups at the highest levels fighting for position. This is important to understand. The compartmentalization at the highest levels of the pyramid is an important part to make things work as planned, for it to be effective. Why? You live in the pyramid. Do you understand? When I leader has been established, what type of leader will he really be? Will you awe at his every wonder? There are only two beliefs in the great pyramid - for those that believe they are doing what's right.

They talk in secret. In hiding. In code. In front of your eyes. Colors/Dogs/the use of Z/dates/times/phrases and more, and all in plain sight.

Everything is going as planned. The great plan serves the master. Do you know what you have been sprayed with all these years? Do you know what was in the GMO foods you have all ingested? Is there a reason why 5G is really needed other than for cell phones? Why Starlink important vital? Why are company's/industry's/governments/countries are so interested in AI and why they all work together in secret? Do you know that they know everything there is to know about you and your loved ones? You will be at their beck and call when this is all said and done - if you do nothing now


Now take time to think... why are whistleblowers/good guys/those with Damning information being taken out?

Don't believe me? I suggest you find the previous post where you were warned in detail about this event taking place and where it would start. The previous posts will validate.

You are all running out of time.

ECB's Lagarde Pours Cold Water On Trader Hopes For Imminent central bank Bailout

With the Dow Jones entering a correction just 6 trading days after it hit an all time high, the market which has no idea how to trade in a down tape, is freaking out and predictably has spawned a rumor that an emergency rate cut is imminent, a rumor which may have been sparked by Kocherlakota's recent Bloomberg oped as well as Janet Yellen's hints last night at Brookings for coordinated global central bank action, and which has helped stocks recoup half their intraday losses.

Unfortunately for the bailout-starved investors, ECB head Christine Lagarde poured cold water on expectations of an imminent coordinated central bank market rescue, when she downplayed the chances of the ECB providing an imminent response to the spread of the coronavirus, which has prompted economists to slash their eurozone growth forecasts.

The ECB president told the Financial Times the ECB was monitoring the outbreak "very carefully" but said it was not yet at the stage where it would have a lasting impact on inflation and, therefore, require a monetary policy response.

"It is a fast-developing phenomenon, which requires that we monitor very carefully," said Ms Lagarde. "It is clearly not an area where a central bank has actually an opinion. It is really for the health service and health experts to give us their take . . . on the evolution and particularly importantly on containment."

Lagarde said all of the bank's base-case scenarios are "based at the moment on containment in reasonably short order".

"I was very pleased to see that the numbers in China on deaths relative to contagion seem to have declined for the third or fourth day, which seems to indicate that there is a degree of improvement," she added.

Lagarde's amusing faith in Chinese numbers aside (as the former IMF head she knows better than anyone just how fake Beijing's "data" is) her comments indicate that not only is an emergency intervention by the ECB (and likely Fed) unlikely, but that the central bank is hoping to keep interest rates on hold when it meets to discuss monetary policy in two weeks according to the FT, despite calls from economists for it to cut rates and step up its bond purchases.

At the same time, she said the bank would have to determine whether coronavirus was set to cause a "long-lasting shock" that would impact supply and demand as well as inflation. "But we are certainly not at that point yet," she added.

Needless to say, this stance by the head of the ECB, which has kept its deposit rate unchanged at minus 0.5% since a cut last September, could disappoint investors who are pricing in more rate cuts by the central bank in coming months. Earlier in the day, Europe's Stoxx Europe 600 tumbled 4%, as it entered a 10% correction it hit just over a week ago.

After ignoring the dire consequences of the coronavirus for weeks, economists finally started paying attention after the pandemic spread to other nations, rising fear that the impact of the virus will continue to disrupt global supply chains and compound the woes of European manufacturers, which have suffered two years of falling orders and production. They also worry the health crisis could weigh on weak growth in the eurozone, which last year fell to its lowest level in seven years.

Earlier in the day, bank of America cut its 2020 global growth forecast to 2.8%. This would be the lowest reading since 2009 as the world careens into its first recession since the financial crisis.

Q Research General #10581: Pope Ain't Feel'n So Dope Edition

U.S. fourth-quarter GDP unrevised; weakness in business spending persists

The U.S. economy grew moderately in the fourth quarter, the government confirmed on Thursday, and is facing a bumpy road in early 2020 amid the fast-spreading deadly coronavirus that has roiled financial markets. Gross domestic product increased at a 2.1% annualized rate, supported by a smaller import bill, the Commerce Department said in its second estimate of fourth-quarter GDP. That was unrevised from last month's advance estimate and matched the growth pace logged in the July-September quarter.

The economy grew by an unrevised 2.3% in 2019, the slowest annual growth in three years and missing the Trump administration's 3% growth target for a second straight year.

Financial markets have been spooked by fears that the coronavirus, which has killed more than 2,000 people, mostly in China, and spread to other countries, could undercut the longest U.S. economic expansion on record, now in its 11th year.

Risky assets such as stocks have been sold off in favor of safe-haven government bonds. Money markets have boosted their bets on the prospect of more Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. The U.S. central bank cut rates three times last year and has signaled its intention to keep monetary policy on hold at least through 2020.

Though there is so far no real evidence that the coronavirus epidemic is impacting the U.S. economy, economists expect the struggling manufacturing sector to take a hit through supply chain disruptions and exports.
Pain for the services sector could come via the travel and tourism industry. Despite the unrevised reading to last quarter's GDP growth, which was in line with economists' expectations, consumer spending slowed more than previously reported. There were also downgrades to business investment and government spending.

That offset upward revisions to investment in home-building and inventory accumulation.

10-year Treasury yield pushes below 1.30%, falling further into record territory

Treasury yields extended their drop into record territory on Thursday as jitters around COVID-19 spreading within the U.S., drew investors away from stocks to the benefit of bonds, with more new cases of the virus reported outside China than inside. The 10-year Treasury note yield TMUBMUSD10Y, -3.80% was down 2.1 basis points to 1.289%, setting an all-time low, while the 2-year note rate TMUBMUSD02Y, -5.74% slipped 4.2 basis points to 1.103%. The 30-year bond yield TMUBMUSD30Y, -2.64% edged 2.3 basis points lower to 1.775%, also a new record low. Bond prices move in the opposite direction of yields. An official from the Food and Drug Administration said COVID-19 was on its way to becoming a pandemic, and a confirmed case of the coronavirus in California that had no history of travel have raised worries that the virus could be spreading despite the travel restrictions imposed on China.

Also supporting bullish sentiment in Treasurys, Microsoft warned that the supply chain disruptions from the virus would have an impact on sales.

Futures for the S&P 500 SPX, -0.38% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.46% point to a lower open for U.S. stocks on Thursday. The broad-based S&P 500 benchmark is down 6.6% this week.

The potential for a spillover into the U.S. has heightened expectations for the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy, on top of the three interest rate cuts the central bank carried out last year. Traders wagering on the direction of the Fed's benchmark interest rate in the fed fund futures market see close to a 50% chance of a quarter percentage point rate cut in March, according to the CME Group.

On the U.S. economics docket, weekly jobless claims, January durable goods and fourth-quarter gross domestic product data are all due at 8:30 a.m. ET, followed by last month pending home sales data at 10 a.m. Chicago Fed President Charles Evans will speak later at 11:30 a.m.

cap #3 is the CME Fedwatch futures for interest rate cuts at March 18th mtg-they have adjusted to the route in the bond mkt. 58.7% for a cut of 25 basis pts and 41.3% for "no change"-this was pegged at 90% for no change just recently
the FOMC does not set rates-the bond market does-they are in the process of doing this now. It habbens over a period of time and the FOMC is just the grocery clerk.

Q Research General #10575: These People Are Sick Edition

Stock markets in the three countries with the most coronavirus cases are all up today. It can't be just because of central bank action. At this point, why a certain country is up by wide margins on a bad coronavirus news day is anybody's guess. Someone said the sky is blue and the birds are singing. Buy it!

China, home to more than 78,000 hospitalized Covid-19 patients, is up 1.65% based on the XTrackers China CSI-300 A-Shares (ASHR) exchange traded fund.

South Korea, where 1,261 people are hospitalized with the bug, is up 2.06% as measured by the MSCI South Korea Index.

Stockman Warns "The Jig Is Up!" - Covid-19 And The Defenestration Of The central bankers

Let it be said that historians will surely marvel - and at some point soon - about the grand delusion of the present era. Namely, the near universal belief that central bankers could print, peg and palaver the main street economy into unfailing expansion and ever rising prosperity and that there were essentially no macro-risks to soaring stock prices that their toolkits couldn't contain and counteract.

That misbegotten belief had huge untoward consequences. It made economies brittle with too much leverage, financialization and speculation; and fragile with too few shock absorbers and insurance mechanism such as just-in-case inventories, second suppliers and local sources for physical production and back-up liquidity lines and balance sheet reserves for financial operations.

Then came the Black Bat of 2020 (or whatever) with its toxic economic contagion. Racing with virtually lightening speed through an infinitely complex and deeply integrated global supply chain anchored in the Red Ponzi, the breakdown of economic activity is already proving that the central banks are not omnipotent after all.

Just as they cannot print antibodies to stop the coronavirus disease, they can't print raw materials, intermediates, components and sub-assembly to restart broken supply chains. Super-QE wouldn't do it; double digit subzero rates wouldn't help; and openmouth forward guidance would only call to mind King Canute shouting at the incoming sea.

It is too early to tell, of course, as to whether the Covid-19 is the Big Bang or if it will be soon wrestled to ground by public health authorities around the planet, thereby eventually relieving the global supply chains of quarantined workers, grounded planes, ships and trains, depleted inventories and paralyzed business decision processes.

But even assuming the latter, the predicate of central bank omnipotence should now be swept into the dustpan of history. Not only can the Fed not repair and revive disrupted supply chains, but it can't even accomplish the conventional tasks it has defined for itself. Namely, making domestic inflation rise by 2.00% annually and causing output growth to adhere unfailingly to the path of full-employment GDP, world without end.

That's because in a world of Peak Debt--$255 trillion globally and $74 trillion in the U.S. alone-the Fed's policy tools are not only impotent; they are actually malignant.

It is now more than evident that the impact of massive bond-buying/balance sheet expansion (QE) and brutal repression of money market interest rates never goes beyond the canyons of Wall Street. It just inflates, inflates and inflates further the price of financial assets owing to the symbiotic confluence of carry trade speculators on Wall Street and the huge financial engineering joints that have been fostered in the C-suites of corporate America by central bankers.

As a consequence, capital has been artificially drafted into financial speculation and money dealing. At the same time, household and business balance sheets have been deeply impaired in order to live high on the hog today rather than investing for the long haul and positioning to weather the unpredictable vicissitudes of individual and collective life-illness, accidents, wars, pestilence, droughts and plagues, one of which we are now experiencing.

But virtually none of that vaunted "stimulus" makes its way to main street. Neither output, employment nor inflation is materially impacted by the Fed's incessant interventions and machinations in the financial markets.

More than $130 billion wiped off ASX 200 as coronavirus bloodbath deepens

Australia's share market has been rocked for the third day in a row, shedding around $50 billion in value as investors spook over fears the coronavirus will halt global trade.
As of 15.30 AEDT, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 had dropped 2.47 per cent or 169.8 points.
Since the market opened on Monday morning more than $130 billion has been wiped off local stocks.
For context, during the Global Financial Crisis in October 2008, the ASX200 lost 8.3 per cent in a single day and a staggering 16 per cent in a single week.
At the time, that equated to around $80 billion - although the market capitalisation of the local market has grown considerably since that day 12 years ago.

Bilderberg again.
Been reading this Global Research article again. It exposes the Bilderberg wish list discussed at the 2009 meeting. There was some dissagreement about which would be better; a prolonged agonizing depression or a short, intense depression.

A report on the meeting said,
"One of Bilderberg's primary concerns....is the danger that their zeal to reshape the world by engineering chaos (toward) their long term agenda could cause the situation to spiral out of control and eventually lead to a scenario where Bilderberg and the global elite in general are overwhelmed by events and end up losing their control over the planet."

Topics also included:
- establishing a Global Treasury Department and Global central bank, possibly partnered with or as part of the IMF;
- a global currency;
- destruction of the dollar through what longtime market analyst Bob Chapman calls "a stealth default on (US) debt by continuing to issue massive amounts of money and credit and in the process devaluing the dollar," a process he calls "fraud;"
- a global legal system;
- exploiting the Swine Flu scare to create a WHO global department of health; and
- the overall goal of a global government and the end of national sovereignty.

"…exploiting the Swine Flu scare to create a WHO global department of health…"?

https://www.globalresearch.ca/the-true-story-of-the-bilderberg-group-and-what-they-may-be-planning-now/13808

Anon does not believe, for an instsant, that Bilderbergers have given up on their scheme. Corona virus replaces Swine Flu and causes markets to tank? Two goals achieved with one stone?

"…the end of national sovereigty."?
By failing to secure national boarders? By flooding nations with "migrants"?
By resisting a self proclaimed nationalist President and his supporters at every turn?
This sounds like Pelosi's (and her team's) playbook.

Market fuckery: The bets placed now are that FRB/FOMC are forced to cut rates in coronavirus response

CME Fed watch was pegged at upper end of 90th percentile for "no change" until today.-cap #1

Financial markets on Monday ratcheted up bets the U.S. Federal Reserve will be pressed to cut interest rates to cushion a feared hit to economic growth from the spread of the coronavirus. U.S. interest rates futures surged to their highest levels since last fall as evidence the virus was spreading further outside its original epicenter of China spurred a global sell-off in stocks and panicked buying of government bonds.

The federal funds futures contract tied to the Fed's July policy meeting FFN0 reflected a greater than 85% probability the central bank's benchmark overnight lending rate would be at least a quarter percentage point lower after that meeting's conclusion, according to the CME FedWatch tool. A month ago that was seen as a roughly 50-50 prospect.

Contracts expiring in early 2021 FFF1FFG1 were priced for a Fed policy rate of around 1% or lower, compared with the current level of between 1.50% to 1.75%, where it sits after three rate cuts last year.

Top U.S. central bank officials have signaled repeatedly that they see no need to cut rates further any time soon because they see the American economy performing well and it is too soon to judge the risk from coronavirus.

Still, as the virus spreads, their resolve is likely to be tested in the weeks ahead. Monday's stocks swoon followed a sharp increase in the number of cases reported in Italy, South Korea and Iran. In the U.S. Treasury market, the yield on the 30-year bond US30YT=RR (cap#2) - often viewed as a proxy for growth expectations - tumbled to record low of around 1.81%.

Perhaps more tellingly for the Fed, the 2-year note's US2YT=RR yield slid to below 1.25%, the lowest in nearly three years, taking it further below the Fed's rate. As the shortest duration of so-called coupon debt - bonds with a maturity longer than a year - the 2-year note's yield reflects bond market investors' expectations for Fed policy.

A month ago it was generally aligned with the fed funds rate. As concerns about the coronavirus have grown, however, the gap between the two has widened at roughly the pace seen last spring before the Fed's run of three rate cuts between July and October.

On Friday, a survey of U.S. purchasing managers indicated that activity in both the services and manufacturing sectors appeared to have stalled this month because of the outbreak, which upended global supply networks when goods production in China ground to a halt.

Apart from that report from IHS Markit, little evidence has yet to emerge of the virus denting U.S. growth, although economists have begun predicting it will.
Goldman Sachs on Sunday cut its estimate for first-quarter gross domestic product growth to 1.2% from 1.4% because of the disruption to supply chains.

Podcast: bank of Finland's Aleksi Grym on a 1990s' digital currency
Avant was launched to establish a new payments network but failed due to competition from ATMs

Discussions around whether central banks should issue a digital asset of their own have become more urgent following Facebook's Libra announcement

Speaking in central banking's latest TechTalk episode, Alexi Grym - digitalisation adviser to the bank of Finland - reveals central bank digital currencies are not a new phenomenon. In fact, they have been around since the 1990s; they were just not talked about.

In 1993, the bank of Finland launched its Avant project, which in some ways preceded the attempts to create current central bank-issued digital currencies. "The thing with Finland is we are very good at technology but very bad at marketing," he says.

Avant was essentially a digital version of a prepaid top-up card, with a chip that effectively stored 'digital money'. At the time, Avant accounts could be refilled with up to 2000 markka (equivalent to ?436 euro today). But it cost 2 marrka (then ?0.34) to load or unload the digital "card".

Avant was run by Toimiraha, a company owned by the bank of Finland, which was later sold to a group of commercial banks. The idea behind the card, Gym explains, was to establish a single national electronic payment system. The commercial banks would bring their customer bases and their ATM networks.

No global digital tax by end-2020 would mean digital tax chaos: France

Failure to reach a global deal on where and how much to tax digital giants like Google, Amazon or Facebook would result in many digital tax regimes emerging all over the world, France's Finance Minister said on Sunday. Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of a meeting of world financial leaders, Bruno Le Maire said the gathering had been very useful in establishing consensus on such global tax rules.

Finance ministers and central bank governors from the world's 20 biggest economies, the G20, met in Riyadh for talks on global economic issues, with digital taxation topping their two-day agenda. "For the first tine there is wide consensus among the G20 members on the necessity of having a new international taxation system," Le Maire said.

"We have to address the issue of digital companies making profits in many countries without any physical presence, which means without paying the due level of taxes," he said.

"And we also have to address the key question of minimum taxation and the risk of having a race to the bottom on taxation," he said.

France has already adopted its own digital tax, but suspended it until the end of the year to give the G20 time to work out a global deal to which all countries would subscribe.

The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the G20's think tank, wants to agree on technical details of such a tax by July and a full agreement among the G20 is expected by the end of the year. "There is a consensus to build a solution by the end of 2020," Le Maire said, noting the alternative - no agreement - would create a proliferation of different tax systems making life more difficult for companies.

"Lets be clear - either we have at the end of 2020 an international solution… clearly in the interest of all countries and digital companies, or there is no solution and … then it will be up the national taxes to enter into force," Le Maire said. "Instead of having one single, simple solution, we would have many different digital taxes, all over the world," he said.

The United States, home to most of the digital giants, has been wary of committing to a solution on taxing them before U.S. presidential elections later this year, and has threatened to slap tariffs on French goods if Paris did not suspend the implementation of the tax.

IMF downgrades China GDP growth outlook to 5.6%

The finance chiefs of the Group of 20 major economies on Saturday agreed to coordinate efforts as the new coronavirus outbreak in China emerges as a potential risk to the global economy, Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said.

It is the first G-20 gathering since the outbreak of the pneumonia-causing virus has brought the Chinese economy nearly to a standstill amid efforts to contain the disease. The epidemic has already claimed the lives of more than 2,000 people and has spread to more than two dozen countries including neighboring Japan.

"The spread of the new coronavirus is a public health crisis that could pose a serious risk to the macro economy through the halt in production activities, interruptions of people's movement and cut-off of supply chains," Aso told reporters after the first day of the talks ended in Riyadh.

"We talked about the need to collaborate," he said.

China did not send its finance minister or central bank governor to the gathering that will continue through Sunday, as the world's second-largest economy struggles to contain the disease that first emerged in central China's city of Wuhan in December.

During the G-20 meeting, the International Monetary Fund reported the 2020 growth forecast of China to be 5.6%, a decrease by 0.4 percentage point from its earlier estimate in January and the lowest level of growth since 1990.

While noting that the uncertainties are "too great to permit reliable forecasting" and many scenarios can play out depending on how quickly the virus is contained, IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva said that her institution is currently expecting China's economy to "return to normal" in the April-June quarter.

"As a result, the impact on the world economy would be relatively minor and short-lived," she said at the meeting, according to a statement by the IMF.

In that scenario, global growth would also be affected downward by about 0.1 point, it said.

Japan, the world's third-largest economy, could be affected by slowing exports to China, supply chain disruptions and a drop in the number of Chinese tourists, bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda told reporters ahead of the meeting.

"We must pay attention to these three channels… we don't know when this coronavirus epidemic will come to an end, so the uncertainty remains high," he said. The BOJ chief, however, said the Japanese economy remains on a path of moderate recovery.

Another key topic during the two-day discussions will be international taxation rules for information technology giants such as Apple Inc. and Google LLC's parent Alphabet Inc. amid criticism they are not paying their fair share of taxes despite making profits in countries where they are not physically present.

The G-20 finance ministers and central bank governors are expected to endorse a proposal outline on the issue agreed by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development members in January, which would enable countries to tax major multinationals including digital companies based on the location of their customers.

The goal is to agree on a new international tax system by the end of this year, but the process could be complicated in the course of fleshing out the details.

With the envisioned new rules likely to affect U.S. technology companies, Washington has proposed a "safe-harbor" regime that tax experts have said would allow companies to choose to continue operating under the current taxation rules.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a symposium held on the sidelines of the G-20 meeting that the matter is a "complicated issue that challenges a fundamental premise of the international tax system, which is physical presence."

Additionally, the G-20 finance chiefs are expected to discuss challenges and possible regulations over digital currencies, according to Japanese officials.

The finance ministers and central bank governors plan to issue a communique upon wrapping up their talks on Sunday.

Saudi Arabia is the first Arab nation to hold the G-20 presidency after taking over from Japan late last year.

Did The Fed Just Reveal Its Plans For A Digital Dollar Replacement?

Thanks to the Federal Reserve, the idea that you can go into a store and anonymously purchase something with cash might soon be obsolete.

Why? Because they're developing something called Fedcoin, which would be based on blockchain technology.

If you're unfamiliar with blockchain technology, you're not alone. Here's how a piece on Motley Fool describes it:

The digital and decentralized ledger that records all transactions. Every time someone buys digital coins on a decentralized exchange, sells coins, transfers coins, or buys a good or service with virtual coins, a ledger records that transaction, often in an encrypted fashion, to protect it from cybercriminals. These transactions are also recorded and processed without a third-party provider, which is usually a bank.

Right now, Bitcoin is a popular form of cryptocurrency that operates using blockchain technology. Like the description above, Bitcoin is decentralized, its transactions are anonymous, and no central bank is involved.

But the irony is, the blockchain tech behind the Fed's idea isn't likely to be used the way Bitcoin uses it. Not even close.

Originally, the "Fedcoin" idea appeared to be a security enhancement to a century-old system used for clearing checks and cash transactions called Fedwire. According to NASDAQ in 2017:

This technology will bring Fedwire into the 21st Century. Tentatively called Fedcoin, this Federal Reserve cryptocurrency could replace the dollar as we know it.

The idea didn't seem to move very much three years ago, but now the idea of a central bank-controlled "Fedcoin" seems like it could be moving closer to reality, according to a Reuters report from February 5.

According to the report, "Dozens of central banks globally are also doing such work," including China.

Of course, there is risk, according to Federal Reserve Governor Lael Brainard. For example, there is the potential for a country-wide run on banks if panic ensued while the Fed "flipped a switch" and made Fedcoin the primary currency for the United States.

But blogger Robert Wenzel warns the risks of the Federal Reserve issuing its own cyber currency may run even deeper than that.
"This is not good."

Lawmakers try to package and sell whatever ideas they come up with, no matter how intrusive or ineffective they might be.

According to Brainard, Fedcoin has the potential to provide "greater value at a lower cost" for monetary transactions. Sounds reasonable, if taken at face value.

But no matter how the Fed may try to "sell" the idea of utilizing Fedcoin in the future, Wenzel's warning is pretty clear:

A Federal Reserve created digital coin could be one of the most dangerous steps ever taken by a government agency. It would put in the hands of the government the potential to create a digital currency with the ability to track all transactions in an economy-and prohibit transactions for any reason. In terms of future individual freedom, this would be a nightmare.

If you use cash at a grocery store, no one will know who you are or what you bought unless it was caught on video or you use a reward card. In the rare instance a store accepts Bitcoin, the same would be true.

But if you were to use a centrally-controlled digital currency like Fedcoin, who knows what the Fed will decide to track now or in the future? Or what meddling they could come up with to deny your transaction?

Q Research General #10496: Leslie Wexner L Brands Edition

Sweden is now testing its digital version of cash.

The Riksbank, Sweden's central bank, has announced the launch of a year-long pilot project of its proposed e-krona. The project will use distributed ledger technology inspired by the blockchains that run cryptocurrencies.

Physical cash is headed toward obsolescence in Sweden. Nearly everyone uses a mobile payment application called Swish, and it's been estimated that retailers could stop accepting cash by 2023. This concerns the country's central bankers, for two reasons. First, they fear if the payment infrastructure is left completely to the private sector certain groups might be excluded. Second, if people lose the ability to convert their commercial bank account money into a form of "cash" backed by the government it might undermine their faith in the money system.

That's why, a few years ago, the Riksbank began investigating the possibility of a state-backed digital currency that might play a similar role that physical cash does today.

For a recent article on the future of cash, I spoke with Riksbank economist Gabriel Söderberg, who argued that whereas private companies are motivated by profit, the central bank would be focused on offering a public good. It has an incentive to focus on making a digital payment system that is user-friendly and accessible to everyone.

According to a press release, the pilot project will run until the end of February 2021. But there could be more tests. "There is currently no decision on issuing an e-krona, how an e-krona might be designed or what technology might be used." Söderberg told me that the decision over whether to issue a sovereign digital currency will need to involve the Swedish public. "This decision is too big for a central bank alone, at least in the Swedish context."

Gold futures post highest settlement since mid-February 2013

Settlement price is taken at 1:30pm EST even though it continues to trade on the COMEX.

Gold futures climbed Thursday, sending bullion up for a sixth straight session to its highest finish in seven years,as persistent worries about China's coronavirus and a benign interest-rate environment provide a runway higher for the precious metal.

Gold for April delivery GCJ20, +0.58% on Comex rose $8.70, or 0.5%, to settle at $1,620.50, after a similar rise on Wednesday. Prices for the most-active contract posted the highest finish since Feb. 14, 2013, according to FactSet data. Gold has climbed in tandem with the U.S. dollar, something that doesn't usually occur as a stronger greenback can weaken the appeal for dollar-pegged safe haven assets like gold. The U.S. dollar index DXY, +0.14% climbed for a third day Thursday to a three year high.

On Thursday, the China's central bank cut its benchmark one-year loan prime rate by 10 basis points, and the five-year loan prime rate by 5 basis points.
That followed its recent cut in the one-year medium-term lending rate.

The PBOC "sent another solid signal to investors to sway them that the bank is ready to support the economy through its monetary policies," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at AvaTrade.

Gains for metals come as fears about stress to the global economy from the virus has pushed the 10-year Treasury note yield TMUBMUSD10Y, -2.71% down to 1.525%, while the ICE Dollar Index DXY, +0.14%, a gauge of the buck against a basket of a half-dozen currencies, was up 0.1% at 99.831, trading around 0.7% higher week to date.

"Gold rise and US dollar index rising simultaneously is symbolic of safe haven demand. I had mentioned last week that global spread of coronavirus is the key. Coronavirus is infecting more and more people worldwide," said Chintan Karnani, chief market analyst at Insignia Consultants.

If U.S. bond yields "continue to trade at historically low levels for the rest of the month," then gold will rise to $1,672.50 and then $1,707.80 by early March, Karnani told MarketWatch. Low bond yields have resulted in switch over to gold investment over bonds, he added.

Although the daily rate of new cases of COVID-19, the infectious disease that reportedly originated in Wuhan, China, has gone down, investors have been keying in on the spread of coronavirus in other parts of the globe.

South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said COVID-19 has claimed the nation's its first life. The mayor of the South Korean city of Daegu urged its 2.5 million people to refrain from going outside, according to the Associated Press. Meanwhile, Japan reported the death of a pair of elderly passengers who had been on a ship that had quarantined because of the virus.

Precious metals pulled back slightly after U.S. economic data early Thursday. Initial jobless claims edged up by 4,000 to 210,000 in the seven days ended Feb. 15, the government said Thursday. The figures are seasonally adjusted. Economists polled by MarketWatch had forecast a 210,000 reading. A reading on manufacturing, meanwhile, the Philadelphia Fed Business Outlook Survey, produced a reading that was its highest in three years, outstripping analysts' estimates.

Among other metals, March silver SIH20, +0.08% settled at $18.319 an ounce, up less than penny, or 0.04%. Prices are holding at their highest levels since January of this year. March copper HGH20, -0.71% shed 0.7% to $2.588 a pound.

April platinum PLJ20, -2.45% shed 2.5% to $979 an ounce, but March palladium PAH20, +1.07% climbed by 0.1% to $2,573.90 an ounce-just enough to eke out another record settlement.

Peter Schiff: Printing Money Is Not The Cure For Cononavirus

In his most recent podcast, Peter Schiff talked about coronavirus and the impact that it is having on the markets.

Earlier this month, Peter said he thought the virus was just an excuse for stock market woes. At the time he believed the market was poised to fall anyway. But as it turns out, coronavirus has actually helped the US stock market because it has led central banks to pump even more liquidity into the world financial system.

All this means more liquidity - central banks easing. In fact, that is exactly what has already happened, except the new easing is taking place, for now, outside the United States, particularly in China."

Although the new money is primarily being created in China, it is flowing into dollars - the dollar index is up - and into US stocks. Last week, US stock markets once again made all-time record highs.

In fact, I think but for the coronavirus, the US stock market would still be selling off. But because of the central bank stimulus that has been the result of fears over the coronavirus, that actually benefitted not only the US dollar, but the US stock market."

In the midst of all this, Peter raises a really good question.

The primary economic concern is that coronavirus will slow down output and ultimately stunt economic growth. Practically speaking, the world would produce less stuff. If the virus continues to spread, there would be fewer goods and services produced in a market that is hunkered down.

Why would the Federal Reserve respond, or why would any central bank respond to that by printing money? How does printing more money solve that problem? It doesn't. In fact, it actually exacerbates it. But you know, everybody looks and central bankers as if they've got the solution to every problem. They don't. They don't have the magic wand. They just have a printing press. And all that creates is inflation."

Sometimes the illusion inflation creates can look like a magic wand. Printing money can paper over problems. But none of this is going to fundamentally fix the economy.

In fact, if central bankers were really going to do the right thing, the appropriate response would be to drain liquidity from the markets, not supply even more."

Peter explained how the Fed was originally intended to create an "elastic" money supply that would expand or contract along with economic output. Today, the money supply only goes in one direction - that's up.

The economy is strong, print money. The economy is weak, print even more money."

Of course, the asset that's doing the best right now is gold. The yellow metal pushed above $1,600 yesterday. Gold is up 5.5% on the year in dollar terms and has set record highs in other currencies.

Because gold is rising even in an environment where the dollar is strengthening against other fiat currencies, that shows you that there is an underlying weakness in the dollar that is right now not being reflected in the Forex markets, but is being reflected in the gold markets. Because after all, why are people buying gold more aggressively than they're buying dollars or more aggressively than they're buying US Treasuries? Because they know that things are not as good for the dollar or the US economy as everybody likes to believe. So, more people are seeking out refuge in a better safe-haven and that is gold."

Peter also talked about the debate between Trump and Obama over who gets credit for the booming economy - which of course, is not booming.

China cuts lending rate to help coronavirus-hit economy

central bank's first reduction in 3 months aims to support small companies.

The People's bank of China lowered the benchmark lending rate for February, the central bank announced Thursday, in a sign to support small and mid-sized enterprises which are severely hit by the outbreak of the new coronavirus.

The one-year loan prime rate (LPR) was cut by 0.1% to 4.05% from the previous monthly fixing. The LPR is a lending reference rate set monthly by 18 banks at which they lend to customers with good credit. It was first announced in August 2019, as a means to substitute the bank's base rate used for policy interest rate. The bank announces the LPR on the 20th of every month.

The last rate cut was in November 2019, which marked a smaller decrease of 0.05%. The aim this time is to support the cash flows of small and medium companies, as the end of the coronavirus is still unclear, while retail, food-service, tourism and leisure sectors are confronting massive reduction in their sales.

Such companies may lack in cash reserves. The PBoC seeks to lighten their burden of repayment through the rate cut. The PBoC instructs banks to decide their interest rate for corporate financing based on the LPR. As the lending rate is fixed by adding credit risks of individual companies on top of the LPR, the interest rate for small and mid-sized companies is likely to be lowered by cutting the LPR.

Meanwhile, the five-year LPR, which guides housing loans, was lowered by 0.05% to 4.75%. The last rate cut was also in November. The central bank seems to help increasing households who have difficulties in repayment as they see their wages being cut due to the epidemic.

Fed staff float plan to end term-repo after April, minutes show

Senior Federal Reserve staff proposed ending longer-term loans to banks after April as part of a broader blueprint laying out how the central bank could scale back the support provided to money markets, the minutes from the January policy meeting showed. The proposal, which received a warm reception from policymakers, explained how the Fed could gradually reduce interventions in the market for repurchase agreements, or repo, and slow its balance sheet expansion.

The central bank began the repo operations in mid-September, when a cash shortage led to a surge in short-term borrowing costs and caused the federal funds rate to trade outside of the Fed's target range. The Fed is also purchasing $60 billion a month in short-term Treasury bills to raise the amount of permanent reserves in the banking system to a level where the interventions are no longer needed.

Lorie Logan, manager of the open market account at the New York Federal Reserve, told policymakers she expected the central bank could slow the pace of Treasury bill purchases in the second quarter. In the meantime, the Fed could continue reducing the scale of its repo operations, with a plan to potentially phase out longer-term repo operations after April, the minutes showed.

The central bank began gradually reducing the size of its repo offerings this year after avoiding a potential repeat of money market volatility in December. This week, for example, the Fed lowered the maximum offerings to $100 billion for daily repo operations and to $25 billion for term operations. The Fed is likely to offer some repo support at least through April to make sure there are enough reserves in the banking system during the tax season, Logan told officials. And after reserves return to "durably ample levels," the Fed would only have to conduct market operations as needed to expand the balance sheet in line with the Fed's liabilities.

Policymakers said they were "comfortable" with the proposal for bringing reserves back to ample levels, emphasizing once again that the efforts to boost liquidity are "technical" in nature and "not intended to represent a change in the stance of monetary policy."

Several Fed officials also suggested that the committee should return "before long" to the discussion over a potential standing repo facility, which would allow banks to borrow reserves as needed at a fixed rate. Creating such a tool could reduce demand for reserves, some participants noted.

Q Research General #10473: Muh Ghost Protocol Edition

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/yellen-says-fed-should-buy-stocks-next-crisis

More…

Speaking via video conference with bankers in Kansas City, Yellen said that the Fed would take a page out of the SNB and BOJ playbook, and "might be able to help the U.S. economy in a future downturn if it could buy stocks and corporate bonds." Of course, by "US economy" she meant the "top 1%" and their political cronies.

And while Yellen was quick to walk back this "hypothetical" scenario, saying that "the issue was not a pressing one right now" and pointed out the U.S. central bank is currently barred by law from buying corporate assets, the idea was already "incepted" in the heads of America's political rulers (whose fate is just as tied to the vagaries of the stock market) and the law can be changed literally overnight. And after all, it is only a matter of time before a crisis does hit, and now Yellen has explained has to happen to avoid an all out social catastrophe in a country where financial assets account for nearly 6x of GDP.

However, thanks to Yellen we now know that the Fed won't go down without a fight… or at least without monetizing everything before the Marriner Eccles building is finally burned down.

Last month, Yellen told a conference the Fed would fight a future recession by buying government debt and jaw boning interest rates lower with pledges on future policy. But she said other tools might be necessary, including expanding the range of assets it would purchase.

And so, thanks to Janet Yellen, we now we know that before the current fiat regime of central banks finally ends and before stocks go limits up as the revolution starts, the Fed will order a POMO of, well, everything in one final, last ditch effort to keep social stability by creating the impression that stocks are stable and rising even as society implodes.

Will it be successful? Normally we would say "not a chance." But when one considers that that's precisely what has happened for the past decade, and one has to think really hard just how much further the Fed can keep kicking the can before it all comes crashing down.

HSBC sets new cost cutting, profit targets after 2019 profit falls 33%

HONG KONG/LONDON (Reuters) - HSBC Holdings PLC on Tuesday unveiled plans to cut costs and simplify its structure to boost earnings, after its 2019 profit dropped 33% hit by one-time write-offs linked to its investment banking and commercial banking businesses in Europe. The wider strategy overhaul comes amid slowing economic growth in HSBC's major markets, an outbreak of a fast-spreading coronavirus, Britain's protracted withdrawal from the European Union, and lower central bank interest rates.

While the London-headquartered bank has benefited from billions of dollars of investment in Asia over the last few years - mainly in China - sluggish performance in Europe and the United States has pulled down its returns.

Europe's biggest bank by assets, which makes the bulk of its revenue in Asia, reported profit before tax of $13.35 billion for 2019 versus $19.89 billion a year earlier. That compared with the $20.03 billion average of brokerage estimates.

The profit drop was a result of $7.3 billion in write-offs linked to its global banking and markets and commercial banking business units in Europe, HSBC said in its earnings statement.

The bank said it planned to achieve a reduced adjusted cost base of $31 billion or below in 2022, underpinned by a new cost reduction plan of $4.5 billion, and return of tangible equity in the range of 10% to 12% in the same period.

HSBC is in over 50 countries across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia - with the latter accounting for roughly half of its revenue and 90% of profit.

The strategy update was presented by interim Chief Executive Noel Quinn. HSBC said the process for appointing a permanent CEO was ongoing and that it expected to make an appointment within the six to 12 months as earlier outlined.

This Is What Hedge Funds Bought And Sold In Q4: Complete 13F Summary

Many years ago, hedge fund 13-F reporting season was a time of excitement for all those who find perverse delight in reverse-engineering what hedge funds owned some 45 days ago (without even having a glimpse of their offsetting short book), as if it would give them the magic key to outperforming the market (it wouldn't). That excitement faded away about 5 years ago when it became painfully clear that in a time of central planning and activist central banks which would never allow another bear market, and as a result hedge funds failed to outperform the S&P500 (which charges 0 and 0 compared to the 2 and 20 demanded by the "smart money") every single year of the past decade. It's also why, with a few notable exceptions (such as Dan Loeb, Warren Buffett and a handful of others), almost nobody cares about 13F filings anymore.

For those who still do, and have yet to grasp that in our day and age only buybacks, ETFs, HFT stop hunts, and central bank balance sheets matter, here is a summary of what the most prominent hedge funds did in the fourth quarter.

First, as noted last week, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway unexpectedly added a position in supermarket operator Kroger, which gained as much as 7.3% in extended trading on Friday. The fund also added Biogen, while trimming its holdings in bank stocks including Wells Fargo & Co., Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and bank of America Corp.

Meanwhile, according to Bloomberg, Google owner Alphabet saw hedge funds including Eminence Capital and Soroban Capital trim their holdings in its Class A or Class C shares. Viking Global exited its stake in the company's Class C shares while trimming its position in the Class A shares. Balyasny exited its position in the Class A shares. Tiger Global added a stake in Alphabet's Class A shares.

Appaloosa Investment added a position in Intelsat S.A., which has fallen 89% from an October high, while two of the top reported holders, BC Partners Advisorsand Silver Lake Group, trimmed their positions in the satellite operator.

Tiger Global tripled its holdings in Uber Technologies Inc., as Viking Global more than doubled its stake in the company. Balyasny and Eminence both added positions in the company, while Arrowgrass and Lansdowne exited.

Some investors trimmed or exited their stakes in Axalta Coating Systems Ltd.amid the company's prolonged sales process. Corsair Capital Management sold its shares in the car-paint maker as Jana Partners trimmed its holding in the stock. Soroban added to its stake.

Notably, former hedge fund darling Beyond Meat saw funds including Tiger Global and Eminence sell off their shares in the company. Coatue, on the other hand, added a position in the faux-meat maker.

A quick recap of what the rest did is below, courtesy of Bloomberg:

'''Zimbabwe central bank to Settle $1.2 Billion of Legacy Debt

The Reserve bank of Zimbabwe approved the payment of $1.2 billion in legacy debt, but rejected claims for a further $861 million as the nation battles the twin effects of currency depreciation and a crippling shortage of foreign currency. Settlement of the verified foreign debt will be amortized over an extended period, "with forex-denominated savings bonds" being issued to some of the creditors, the central bank said in its monetary policy statement Monday. The southern African nation owes foreign entities, including airlines, and fuel and grain suppliers, about $2.6 billion in legacy debt since it dropped the 1:1 peg of its local dollar to the U.S. unit a year ago, but hasn't been able to meet payment obligations due to the severe shortage of foreign currency. Another 350 transactions valued at $457 million will be finalized by Feb. 29, the bank said. Senior government officials have previously said they would ask creditors to take a cut on some of the debt, to save on the much-needed foreign currency.

Foreign debt of $361 million owed by the bank was not included in the amounts, Governor John Mangudya said.

BOJ's Kuroda flags more easing if virus impact worsens: Sankei

TOKYO (Reuters) - bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said the central bank would consider additional rapid easing if the coronavirus outbreak significantly threatened Japan's economy and price trends, the Sankei newspaper reported on Monday. "We would need to consider monetary policy steps if (the virus outbreak) significantly affects Japan's economy," Kuroda was quoted as saying in an interview with the daily.

Kuroda called the coronavirus outbreak the "biggest uncertainty" for the domestic economy and flagged "additional easing steps without hesitation" if the economic risks from the virus heightened, Sankei said.

The virus has killed more than 1,700 people in China, and it has already taken a toll on China's economy - Japan's largest trading partner - hampering supply chains for car manufacturers to smartphone makers and causing the number of Chinese shoppers visiting Japan to plunge.

Japan's economy - the world's third-largest - shrank at the fastest pace in six years (see article below) in the December quarter as domestic demand took a hit from the sales tax hike, underscoring the fragile nature of an economy teetering on the brink of a recession.

Kuroda played down the possibility that global and Japanese economic growth in 2020 would significantly lag last year's and echoed views that China's domestic output would bottom out this quarter and recover from April. However, he said much depended on when the outbreak would peak, adding that it took six months for the SARS outbreak in 2002-2003 to be resolved.

Many market players expect the BOJ to stand pat on monetary policy for the foreseeable future, barring big economic shocks and a spike in the yen sharp enough to derail a fragile economy.

The Federal Reserve system as a central bank is actually a very good system. There really is not much wrong with it except one thing.

Where do the profits of the nation's efforts flow to?

Fix that by having those profits flow into Federal coffers and you have a reasonable system. Install better governance that cannot profit from the system, and proper open oversight, and you have something America could be proud of.

Of course, if all that profit is flowing into Federal coffers there is no need for Income Tax at all. And the rest of the money can go to building infrastructure, cross-continental passenger train systems. The USA could plant 1 trillion trees. At 1000 million trees, planted at a rate of 50 million per year, that would take 20 years. And although 50 million per year is ambitious, by getting private landowners to join in by giving permission for tree planting, there is enough territory in the USA that it could be done.

PBOC Cuts Interest Rate for One Year Loans to Support banks-makes a cash injection
central bank withdrew a net 700 billion yuan from market. Economists forecast loan prime rate to drop on Feb. 20. China's central bank provided medium-term funding to commercial lenders and cut the interest rate it charges for the money, a move widely anticipated by analysts to cushion the economy from the virus epidemic.

The People's bank of China offered 200 billion yuan ($29 billion) of one-year medium-term loans on Monday. The rate was lowered by 10 basis points to 3.15%, the lowest since 2017. The central bank also added 100 billion yuan of funds via 7-day reverse repurchase agreements, resulting in a net 700 billion yuan withdrawal of money from markets as some 1 trillion yuan of reverse repos matured on Monday.

The rate reduction is "in line with expectations, while the injection amount is relatively small as interbank funding is sufficient after the new year," said Zhou Guannan, an analyst at Huachuang Securities Co. in Beijing. Zhou expects additional MLF funding to be supplied in March. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus worsened in late January, China's central bank and government have announced small rate cuts, early bond sales, and various other targeted measures to calm financial markets and support companies. So far, there's not been a massive increase in stimulus, although that may change if and when the coronavirus is brought under control.

Monday's rate cut is likely to be matched by a similar reduction in the loan prime rate, which is the basis for pricing corporate and household loans. A Bloomberg survey showed economists expect the rate for 1-year loans to fall by 10 basis points when it's announced on Feb. 20. Futures on China's 10-year government bonds reversed gains after the operation, falling as much as 0.14%. The yield on sovereign notes due in a decade rose 1 basis point to 2.87%, the highest level this month. China's CSI 300 Index recouped all of its losses since trading resumed after the Lunar New Year break.

There's a possible way to do it without abolishing central banking altogether: Nationalize it. Give the power of central banking to the treasury.

Someone wise once said: It's absurd that the government can print a dollar bond but not a dollar bill. The same principle that makes the bond good makes the bill good as well.

The problem is money made out of debt. When every dollar in existence is accompanied by an obligation to pay that back to the central bank plus more, then poverty rules the land because there isn't enough money in the world to pay the debts owed. So we have to fight against our neighbors and push them deeper into debt to get out of debt ourselves, guaranteeing poverty for all.

If the treasury prints the money, money is created and spent, not created and loaned at interest. Yes, more money exists and its value will decrease if too much is printed, beyond the increase in goods and services. But that is normal. It's not usury.

If a society wants to finance infrastructure, bridges, roads, space exploration, science and so on, it can do that without taxing anybody when the economy grows, by printing and spending the right amount of new money to match the growth in the economy.

Without that power, it's necessary for a taxman to go and confiscate gold or bitcoin or whatever commodity money there is from the hard working laborer who earned it and hoped to feed his family with it.

The Multi-Billion-Dollar Mystery Of The Great British Gold Sale


A chart that has all sorts of consequences, including misleading ministers, distorting our view on the nature of the UK economy and creating a genuine mystery about what's going on in the bowels of the UK economy.

Here's the chart in question: exports of gold from the UK…For the vast majority of history they were near zero (average monthly level apt £126m). Then, suddenly, in the last two months of last year, gold exports were catapulted higher.

It's a staggering chart.

Just to put that spike into context, £12bn (what those two months of gold exports add up to) is the total annual output of a country like Jamaica. It is more than we typically export, over a two month period, to ANY single country, including US or Germany (our biggest trading partners).

It has serious consequences. Since comparable records began in 1998, there hasn't been a single month where the UK was a net goods exporter. We've always had a deficit. In December, thanks to the £12bn gold exports, Britain recorded its first monthly trade surplus on record…The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has started trying to strip gold out of the figures. Indeed the gold chart above is a new series they've just published.

However ONS are bound by international regulations to include gold in the headline numbers. That massively distorts them. After all, the UK is the world hub for gold trading. Any movement/change of ownership of gold bars counts as imports/exports even though it's hardly what anyone would consider an "export."

You might've thought all of that would mean our politicians would think twice before boasting about those dodgy headline trade figures. Not a bit of it. This week, Liz Truss, MP for South West Norfolk, and UK Trade Secretary, tweeted this about them:

📢Record breaking year for UK exports.

New @ONS data out today shows that in 2019...

💼UK businesses exported £689.0 bn of goods and services
?This is a 5.0% increase on 2018
📈Exports of goods to non-EU countries grew by 13.6%https://t.co/YRerqQGXw7
- Liz Truss (@trussliz) February 11, 2020

Every bullet point in her tweet is wrong if you strip out gold exports:

UK biz exported £674bn of goods & services (not £689)

A 2.9% increase on 2018 (lowest since 2016; not 5.0%)

We don't know how much exports to non-EU countries rose; ONS hasn't worked them out ex-gold

It's not like exports are doing badly. They're at 30.4% of GDP once you strip out gold. That's one of the highest levels in decades, though it is down on last year. Perhaps that's why Liz Truss used the dodgy headline numbers which look far better because of that £12bn of gold exports. But none of that solves the real mystery here.

Why did gold exports spike so dramatically?

One thesis doing the rounds is that it has something to do with this story: Poland repatriating some of the gold that's been in the bank of England's vaults since WW2…But it's not that, because central bank gold movements (monetary gold) aren't included in these gold statistics. Anyway all that Polish gold still wouldn't account for all the gold that changed hands in Nov/Dec. It's equivalent to Barbados's GDP, not Jamaica's. As far as I can divine here's the answer.

A US bank with London gold vaults shifted some of that gold from being "unallocated" to being "allocated".

Effectively it moved it on its balance sheet.

The gold stayed in the same vault but technically it shifted from UK ownership to US.

In other words, a couple of clicks in a bank's spreadsheet caused the biggest fluctuation in Britain's trade figures in modern history. At least that's the most plausible explanation.

Though it raises further questions: Why? Is the bank in trouble? And who owns the gold anyway? And is it just a coincidence that all of this occurred as The Fed was forced to unleash unprecedented liquidity to support the repo market…

Short answer: we may never know. No other sector is as cloak-and-dagger as gold. What we do know is that crazy stuff is happening beneath Britain's national statistics and it's time we started paying attention to it.

The NZ Police are "Independant".

What does that mean?

It means they act on their own volition, free from Govt controls, sound good ,eh?

But if we the people vote for the Govt, does this not mean that the Police are independant of the people?

So, if the Police dont act for the Govt, and they dont act for the people who voted for the Govt, then who are they acting for?

The 3 things you get when you get a central bank, is an Tax department to collect the interest for the loans of our own money, a Court system to punish those who do not pay the taxes, and a Police department to enforce the collection of taxation.

The tax dept works for the Crown Corporation, that's were that taxes go, The Courts use Lawyers who swear allegiance to the Temple Bar Association, also part of the Crown Corporation, so would it come as any great surprise to learn that the Police act for the Crown as well?

Look what happen's when the people rise up, and demand change from the current system; the Police attack them.

The Police take their orders from the Crown/ Rothschilds bankers. There will be no disscent.

Senate Requests Interviews with Deep State Actors, Including Kieran Ramsey, Related to Deep State Actions in Italy!

In May we reported that rumors were swirling that the firings of top Italian spies were related to Obama and a plot to set up candidate and President Trump in a scandal involving Hillary's emails. Nellie Ohr documents provided additional support that this was the case. The Senate is now asking for testimonies from Deep State actors related to Italy.

We reported in late May 2019 that Italian Prime Minister Conte asked for the resignations of four top intelligence officials after his call with President Donald Trump.

We also reported that Neonrevolt had uncovered some shocking news related to the recent removal of these top Italian intelligence ministers from their positions as top spies in the government.

The story begins in January 2017 when Computer World wrote about alleged crimes committed by Italian Giulio Occhionero:

The Tuesday arrest of Giulio Occhionero and his sister, Francesca Maria, has brought to light what appears to be the biggest, and highest-profile, hacking of institutional and corporate accounts ever reported in Italy.

The siblings have been planting the Pyramid Eye remote access Trojan on computers using a spear-phishing technique over several years, according to the arrest order.

They attacked at least 18,000 high-profile targets, including former Prime Ministers Matteo Renzi and Mario Monti, President of European central bank Mario Draghi, as well as employees and heads of various ministries including Internal Affairs, Treasury, Finance and Education.

But Giulio Occhionero claimed that he and his sister, Francesca Maria, were set up. A piece reported by Frederico Punzi, writing in The Atlantico, notes their denials and more:

Occhionero complained to the Prosecutor of the Republic of Perugia and wrote to the U.S. Congress and the FBI. In fact, there are a number of contradictions and suspicious circumstances in the case.

Occhionero provided the letter that he claims he sent US Congress and the FBI:

Khazarian Jews Kicked Out of Russia

1-20-2020 Ben Fulford:
Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 
Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:
"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."

POTUS Fed nominee Shelton hits bipartisan skepticism in Senate hearing

Federal Reserve board nominee Judy Shelton faced deep skepticism from Republicans and Democrats on the Senate banking Committee on Thursday, as lawmakers challenged her independence from President Donald Trump and characterized her thinking as too far outside the mainstream to trust with the nation's economy.
Over the course of the roughly two-hour hearing she found herself having to back away from prior views, explain that she would not pursue a common North American currency with Canada and Mexico if confirmed as a Fed governor, and even apologize for comparing a currency forger's challenge of the federal government's dominance over money to civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks' challenge of segregation laws.

"I apologize for the comparison. I truly do," Shelton said of an incident raised by Alabama Democratic Senator Doug Jones in which a North Carolina man issued millions of dollars of his own precious-metal backed currency. "I believe he was testing the idea" that money needed to be backed by gold and silver, Shelton explained.

"Is that something you want to test?" Jones shot back, summing up committee concerns about past Shelton writings seeming to support a return to something like a gold or other asset-backed standard to keep the value of the dollar stable.

"No, senator," said Shelton, a member of the Trump transition team and a long-time conservative author and commentator on financial issues.

It was one of a series of pointed exchanges between senators and Shelton, an economist with a long track record criticizing the Fed and questioning, at least in theory, whether central banks can even do the job assigned to them.

Three Republican senators were notably sharp in their questions, and two indicated afterwards she had not fully resolved their concerns - enough to sink her nomination on a committee divided between 13 Republicans and 12 Democrats. Four previous Trump appointees to the Fed failed to clear the Senate, a sign of the weight Congress has put on keeping the country's monetary policy as free as possible of political interference, given Trump's open verbal attacks on the Fed and demand for lower interest rates.

Asked about Trump's war-by-tweet against the Fed, Shelton responded "I don't censor what someone says."

But during the hearing Pennsylvania Republican Senator Patrick Toomey called her views about using the Fed to manage the value of the dollar against other currencies "a very very dangerous path to go down." Trump has often blamed the Fed for a rising dollar, which he argues has hurt exports. Shelton has often written about the need for a "sound" dollar.

A spokesman for Toomey said afterwards that the senator was undecided and that Shelton's answers "didn't alleviate" his concerns.

Alabama Senator Richard Shelby also "has not decided at this point, I know he still has some concerns," the senator's communications director, Blair Taylor, told Reuters.

Shelton, who holds a doctorate in business administration and has been sharply critical of the Federal Reserve in her writings and commentary, pledged broadly that she would be an independent thinker who would work well with existing Fed officials.

"I pledge to be independent in my decision-making, and frankly no one tells me what to do," Shelton said, deflecting questions about her past writings that, for example, characterized the Fed's setting of a short-term interest rate as similar to Soviet central planning.

"I don't claim to be in the mainstream of economists….I would bring my own perspective. But I think the intellectual diversity strengthens the discussion."

Senate Democrats said flatly that they do not trust her.

"Shelton has flip-flopped on too many issues to be confirmed," said Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown. "She is far outside the mainstream. She is outside the ideological spectrum." A second nominee, Christopher Waller, a career economist who is currently the research director of the St. Louis Federal Reserve, faced few questions about his views.

Both were nominated by Trump to fill vacant seats on the Fed's seven-member Washington-based Board of Governors.

Both Waller and Shelton released opening statements on Wednesday ahead of their hearings that offered few clues about their views on monetary policy beyond promising to promote policies that support financial stability and help the Fed meet its goals of full employment and price stability. The two emphasized the Fed's accountability to Congress, which oversees the central bank.

The architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach designed Karlskirche or Saint Charles Church dedicated to Cardinal Charles Borromeo. ABN AMRO is primarily owned by the Dutch House of Orange-Nassau through proxy share holding companies and has a Zurich branch. The Nassau-Weilberg family of Luxembourg have part ownership over some banks in Luxembourg where banking is also private. Mid Eastern royal families also have proxy banks set up all over Switzerland and keep their hidden wealth of trillions from oil profits usually in private banks in Luxembourg before being siphoned through the BIS.

These banks are in contract with other larger Swiss banks including the bank for International Settlements which is located in Switzerland and it works as a central bank for dozens of central banks around the world and is siphoning off wealth and redistributing this wealth as payments to criminals and criminal government agencies disguised as loans. The BIS is involved in siphoning off wealth from nations through fraudulent tax contracts and also oversees and regulates international financial transactions which are used for making bribes disguised as investment loans. The BIS provides loans to governments used for financing oppression, militarized gang stalking, and criminal military operations. Charitable foundations are involved in making criminal payoffs as well. These pay offs go to regional or local managers of secret societies and criminal organizations which tend to be Freemasons, papal knights, royal knights, and crime bosses which all generally own private businesses.
They receive payoffs and bribes disguised as loans which they then distribute to their wage earners in secret societies and organized crime through cash or fake online donation accounts and these wage earners are involved in organized gang stalking, harassment, vandalism, making threats, spreading propaganda, cyber stalking, hacking, censorship, and even murder.

So if an investment firm gives a loan to a private company and that company never pays it back and the investment company does not go after them it was probably a bribe or criminal financing. This is similar to what the Nazis did in Germany. The German-Swiss Baden-Zahringen family were the founders of Berne, Switzerland and the Erlachs work for them. The German Hohenzollern family ruled Neuchatel, Switzerland and they established Deutsche bank which was in a Nazi contract with the BIS during WWII. The House of Hohenzollern have a portion of covert ownership of the BIS. The bank for International Settlements has foreign agents from various nations involved and especially agents from Italy which lead this international criminal banking movement with Mario Draghi, Fabia Panetta, and Ignazio Visco as Board Directors for the BIS and they are all connected to Rome.

Agustin Carstens is the General Manager of the BIS and a Mexican banker. The bank for International Settlements is designed as a tower and really operates as a loan tower managed by the Torlonia banking family of Rome. The Torlonia family are the treasurers of the Vatican and they have French ancestry. The House of Torlonia owns the Banca del Fucino in Rome. The word Tor in French means tower and lonia is similar to the word loan. The Torlonia name means Loan Tower which is what the BIS is. Prince Giulio Torlonia is President of the Banca del Fucino and a top overseer of the bank for International Settlements.

Both Switzerland and the Vatican City State used the square shaped flag and the Swiss flag is the same as the Italian royal family's coat of arms. The Torlonia family are intermarried with the royal family of Luxembourg and Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg worked for the IMF and former Minister of Finance in Luxembourg Luc Frieden was Chairman of the Board of Governors for the IMF and World bank Group. The BIS works with the IMF.

The International Monetary Fund and World bank Group are both headquartered in Washington DC and operate in the same way making criminal pay offs disguised as loans to corrupt bureaucrats and politicians managing nations and also loans to corporations for the purpose of globalization and enabling organized crime. The Group of 30 oversees the IMF and World bank Group. Mario Draghi is a member of the G30. Cornelius Brandi and his criminal tax counsel are enabling these crimes and he is a German relative of the Venetian Brandolini family of Venice. John-Maximilian Henry Fane de Salis the 10th Count de Salis-Soglio is a Swiss-Italian-Holy Roman noble. His father was a Knight of Malta whose wife was of Venetian nobility.

Just some international banking corruption digging:
p1/2
The royals and nobles in Europe have been concealing trillions in private bank accounts in Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein. They provide loans to the bank for International Settlements which then provide loans to banks. Through this fraudulent system using interest rates and fees they steal taxes from nations.

The Erlach family are an old Bernese Swiss nobility that ruled in Berne for centuries and were involved in politics and military. They take their name from the town of Erlach which produced a division of Swiss Guard and mercenaries that served German princes and the French monarch. Today their Erlacherhof mansion is the office for the mayor of Berne. The family still lives in Switzerland and is involved in banking and law. Rudolf von Erlach and Andreas von Erlach are international corporate lawyers. The company CMS von Erlach Poncet operates in Switzerland providing tax law services internationally and is headed up by Chairman Cornelius Brandi.

Cornelius Brandi is an expert with corrupt loopholes involving tax law and financial transactions and he is a ruthless psychopath with high authority over banking in Switzerland. Ernst Brandi and his son Albrecht Brandi were involved with the Nazis. Ernst Brandi was a top member of the Secret Meeting of February 20th which were German industrialists that organized the financing of the Nazi Party. The Nazis were involved in creating and running the bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland (BIS).

banking in Switzerland is private and enables the concealment of wealth and more importantly making criminal pay offs which they conceal as loans. The BIS works as a middle man for smaller banks for international transactions as well as with central banks. The bank for International Settlements has major leverage over central banks. It is called the central bank for central banks. Criminals working at CMS von Erlach Poncet are the advisers for Swiss bankers and their clients.

Eric Sarasin is of Swiss nobility and involved in wealth management, banking, and tax advisement. Count Philippe de Felice-Grin-Ruttley is a Swiss noble with Italian titles and works as an international lawyer. He worked for Rome, United Kingdom, European Union, and currently works for Ince & Co. The Gutzwiller family are the top Swiss banking family and they own their Gutzwiller private bank headed up by Stephane Gutzwiller and Francois Gutzwiller. The Gutzwillers also manage about 35 other Swiss banks with Jurg Gutzwiller as CEO of Entris Holding. Some top criminal Swiss bankers include Baron Frederic Hottinger and Baron Rodolphe Hottinger as the primary owners of Hottinger & Cie Groupe Financiere and Financiere Rodolphe Hottinger. Peter Hottinger is the CEO of the global wealth management company called Pilotage.

Prince Lorenz of Belgium is a managing partner at Gutzwiller bank in Basel, Switzerland. Archduke Sigismund of Habsburg-Lorraine covertly manages Swiss accounts for some royals and has been covertly overseeing Landolt & Cie Banquiers. Arch Duke Rudolf von Habsburg-Lorraine runs Triple A Gestion in Switzerland with his brother. Prince Eric Sturdza of the Romanian Sturdza family owns the Swiss Banque Eric Sturdza. Baron Benjamin de Rothschild owns Edmond de Rothschild Group and handles finances of criminals in Israel. Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein is an owner of Liechtenstein Global Trust which includes Swiss branches. Lorenzo Rocco di Torrepadula is from an Italian noble family and works at REYL private bank in Switzerland. Eric Sarasin sold his family's Swiss bank bank Sarasin & Company to the Safra family with Joseph Safra who is worth about 24 billion. Safra Group has about 70 billion in assets. The Sella family of Piedmont are a merchant banking family which established Banca Sella Group in Italy with offices in Switzerland and they are working as the Court Factors for the merchant-banking House of Borromeo.

A demonrat House, demonrat Senate and demonrat president (not deserving of a capital p) committed outright treason, violated the American Constitution, allowing the setting up of a foreign pond-scum central bank and giving control over the American currency - a control given by the Founding Fathers to ONLY the elected government - to those same foreign scumbags and turning 100's of millions of Americans into debt slaves to globalist pigs who feel it is their right to control all the money in the world and if people in any country want to use their own currency…they can borrow off the scum at interest.

Americans must never forget the last 114 years of slavery of ALL Americans orchestrated and implemented by the treasonous demonrat party!

ALL AMERICANS must keep this uppermost in mind - demonrats have always been slave owners. demonrats owned ALL slaves, demonrats created the kkk, demonrats voted against ending slavery, demonrats voted against allowing their slaves to vote, the demonrats voted against giving female slaves the right to vote, or be equal.

Anyone in America, ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who thinks the demonrat slave-owners should be voted for is NOT American!

RBNZ launches direct phone line and email for whistleblowers in banking

The Reserve bank of New Zealand is formalising its procedures with a phone line and dedicated email inbox for whistleblowers.

The move comes as the regulator beefs up its prudential function and as it continues with its review alongside the Financial Markets Authority on the conduct of banks and major insurers.

The work so far has found weak governance within financial institutions and regulators have been critical of the pace of change within them.

RBNZ general counsel Nick McBride said the bank typically heard from two to three whistleblowers each year, but since the conduct review began there have been more. In the past, emails had often come through the central bank's general enquiry system and so the RBNZ wanted to streamline this.

"It's been triggered by the conduct and culture review and we've been behind the times honestly, and want to remedy that," he said.

Phone calls and emails will be dealt with by the bank's compliance team. The central bank stressed it does not take complaints from customers but is looking for employees or former bank employees with information.

The move surprised the NZ bankers' Association, which has been working on its own industry-wide scheme to provide an independent alternative to the banks' current whistleblowing services.

A spokesman said its initiative was a response to the regulators' reviews but was still in progress.

McBride said its offering was "complementary" to what the banks provide and it was natural for a regulator to have something that employees would trust.

The RBNZ encouraged employees to look at their own internal policy first. If they did not feel that was appropriate, either because they thought their employer may cover up the issue, or had not resolved the matter despite the disclosure, they should get in touch with the regulator.

"The banks' internal whistleblower schemes are actually quite good and we have had some people take issues through to their head office and we've been impressed by the extent to which complaints have been taken seriously. There's no evidence to say they are not taken seriously but we should have something external," McBride added.

The lawyer said the move was part of a wider beefing up of the central bank's enforcement and investigations function.

Victoria University of Wellington professor of public administration Michael Macaulay said it was always good to have independent avenues but whether more whistleblowers would now come forward was unknown.

"In the vast majority of cases the reason why people don't blow the whistle isn't because they are scared of the consequences, it is because they don't even realise what they are in," the whistleblowing expert said.

The Commerce Commission already has a whistleblowing tool which allows users to submit information through an anonymous mailbox.

Corona Virus? The Chinese central bank Has a "Solution"

In response to the economic paralysis brought about by the coronavirus, the Chinese central bank has pumped $243 billion into financial markets. On Monday February 3 2020, China's equity market shed $393 billion of its value.

Most experts are of the view that in order to counter the damage that the coronavirus has inflicted, loose monetary policy is of utmost importance to stabilize the economy. In this way of thinking, it is believed that the massive monetary pumping will lift overall demand in the economy and this in turn is likely to move the economy out of the stagnation hole.

On this way of thinking consumer confidence, which has weakened as a result of the coronavirus could be lifted by massive monetary pumping.

Now, even if consumers were to become more confident about economic prospects, how is all this related to the damage that the virus continues to inflict? Would the increase in consumer confidence due to the monetary pumping cause individuals to go back to work?

Unless the causes of the virus are ascertained or unless some vaccine is produced to protect individuals against the virus, they are likely to continue to pursue a life of isolation. This means that most people are not going to risk their life and start using the newly pumped money to boost their spending.

It seems that whenever a crisis emerges, central banks are of the view that first of all they must push plenty of money to "cushion" the side effects of the crisis. The central bankers following the idea that if in doubt "grease" the problem with a lot of money.

It did not occur to all the advocates of the aggressive loose monetary policy that this is going to transform a given economic crisis into a much larger one.

Most advocates would respond that it is the central bank's duty to defend individuals against various bad side effects. The only way they can defend individuals is by not adding more damage.

If loose monetary policy could counter the bad side effects of the coronavirus then we should agree that money pumping is an effective remedy to eradicate side effects of viruses. In this sense, central bankers should be nominated for the Nobel Prize in medicine.

Most experts still don't get it that money is just the medium of exchange. It produces nothing and it can only provide the services of the medium of exchange. If we begin to consider money as something magical that can fix everything, including eradicating the economic side effects of the coronavirus, this opens the gate for nasty economic surprises.

Having a PUBLIC central bank would do that. "Gold standard" will not. There are major, major problems with "gold standard" or pegging the currency to any scarce resource. Remember what happened to Spain; gold didn't save them it ruined them when the market was flooded. True currency doesn't need to be pegged to any commodity, simply backed by the productive power of the people of that country. That and a public central bank are all a free country needs to be free of the Rothschilds vampire squid.

As new details emerge, congressional critics such as Pompeo and Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) are beginning to suspect the U.S. government laundered the money in order to provide Tehran with immediate access.
"Think about this timeline: the U.S. withdraws $400 million in cash from the Swiss National bank and then physically transports it to another city to hand-off to Iranian officials-three days before Iran releases four American hostages," Pompeo said. "But it gets worse: less than a week after this, the U.S. again sends hordes of cash to Iran. As we speak, Iran is still holding three more Americans hostage and I fear what precedent this administration has set."
The initial $400 million payment to Iran was initiated on Jan. 14, 2016, according to information sent by the Treasury Department to Pompeo.
"For the first settlement payment in January, Treasury assisted the Defense Finance and Accounting Services (DFAS) in crafting a wire instruction to transfer the $400 million in principal from the Iran FMS [Foreign Military Sales program] account on January 14, 2016," the document states.

"Treasury worked with DFAS and the Federal Reserve bank of New York (FRBNY), which was acting as Treasury's financial agent, so that the funds were converted from dollars to Swiss francs and credited to a FRBNY account at the Swiss National bank (SNB), which is the central bank of the Switzerland [sic]," it adds.
The U.S. hostages were released shortly after Iran received this initial cash payment.
The additional $1.3 billion cash payment was facilitated by the Dutch central bank, which helped the United States transfer the money to an account before it was converted into euros.
The Dutch bank "then disbursed the funds as euro banknotes in the Netherlands to an official from the central bank of Iran."
The payment was broken down into two separate transactions that occurred on Jan. 22 and Feb. 5.
Senior administration officials maintain that the transaction was completely legal and not paid out as part of a ransom to Iran. These officials have said that cash was the "most reliable" method to ensure Iran received immediate access to the funds, as its banking system is still under sanctions.

The proxy war being fought in the Ukraine was long denied by Russia. It was about gas lines, weapons (including nuclear) and keeping Ukraine out of NATO. Russia committed arms and troops and denied any were there. Russia even uses false flags against it's own forces to legitimize it's occupation in parts of Ukraine.

Obama secretly funded Ukrainian forces and provided arms. In the case of the United States, $1.8 Billion was laundered through Ukraine's central bank through Cyprus and Latvia. This was almost an open secret. Congress had authorized no such thing, making it illegal. However, the Obama administration, including Obama, Biden and John Kerry approved the transfer of the funds. Hawks and those compromised in Congress on both sides of the aisle turned a blind eye to an unauthorized proxy war with Russia.

This is typical of how the Obama Administration conducted itself. The result of shady deals with China, Iran, Russia, North Korea allowed individuals to launder large amounts of taxpayer dollars. Hunter Biden was the Obama Administration's "skin in the game" that if the money-laundered proxy war was exposed, the Obama Administration would be implicated. An even bigger game was played in China.

This worldwide network of bribes and extortion of government officials destroys nations from within. Who got a cut to bring down our government? Why was this a motive?

When Ukraine nationalized Privat bank it signaled Trump to release the funds to help Ukraine. Otherwise, he couldn't be certain that Ukrainian President Zelensky wasn't compromised. Privat bank was owned by a Ukrainian oligarch who also owned the media company that broadcast a show Zelensky starred in before his election. Nationalizing Privat bank also signaled the IMF to start loaning Ukraine money again ($5B), the same day Trump released military aid.

When Trump, on July 25, mentioned Crowdstrike in his call with the Ukrainian President, it was because Crowdstrike was funneling laundered money back to the Democrats during the Obama era.

Trump promised to drain the swamp. Trump has beaten back every attempt to stop him, even the impeachment hoax. Exposing just how treasonous elected officials, intelligence agencies, CEO's etc. have been to their respective nations will be the catalyst that crumbles the facades of legitimate governments worldwide.

Many have left the U.S. government as they were exposed. Others remain holding out hope that Trump will fail and they can avoid the consequences of treason. Patriots press forward to stop the otherwise certain demise of representative government.

The United States, since Trump was elected, has been building the military and economy to survive the storm. The swamp has been being drained. Foreign influences (Iran, China, etc) and traitors have been systematically been being dealt with to allow our Republic to survive.

Can the USA survive the chaos that will certainly bring down nations? Could the storm descend into a world war?

God wins.

bank of Japan taps China hand to lead international division

Departure from Western focus comes at trying time for world's No. 2 economy.
TOKYO – When bank of Japan Gov. Haruhiko Kuroda was asked by a lawmaker this week about the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak sweeping through China, his reply acknowledged the increased importance of the economic superpower across the East China Sea. Compared with the severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, outbreak of 2002 and 2003, "China's economic presence has grown much larger, and we need to be conscious of the possibility that the impact will be greater," he said. China's share of global gross domestic product has swelled from 4% then to 16% now, and the BOJ's appointment last month of its top China expert to lead the International Department shows that the central bank is keenly aware of the shift in the economic balance.

Leadership of the department, which handles analysis of overseas economic conditions and cooperation with other central banks, had been dominated by officials with experience in Western financial centers such as New York and London. But the post of director general is now occupied by Tomoyuki Fukumoto, a former chief of the BOJ's representative office in Beijing. "It's an appointment that's representative of an era when Asia's influence has strengthened," a senior bank official said. "It seems like a sign of a focus on China at the top."

After joining the BOJ in 1989, Fukumoto studied in Hong Kong and served at the Japanese Embassy in China before taking over the bank's Beijing office in 2012 for a three-year stint. Fukumoto delivers economic speeches in fluent Chinese. He also produces fine-grained analysis – backed up by what another senior BOJ official called a "staggering" amount of Chinese connections from his time on the ground there – that Kuroda and other top BOJ officials pay heed to. Beijing's growing economic importance is hardly a new development. But other China experts from the BOJ who could have filled the role have moved on to new pastures.

central bank of the year: bank of Ghana
The African central bank has carried out extensive reform of Ghana's banking sector

At the end of March 2017, Ghana's newly elected president, Nana Akufo-Addo, nominated Ernest Addison as governor of the bank of Ghana, after which Addison was rapidly confirmed by the country's council of state. With a PhD in economics from Canada's McGill University, Addison was previously the lead regional economist at the African Development bank. He had accumulated considerable experience, having also served as the director of research at the bank of Ghana from 2003 to 2011, after a year as the chief economist of the West African Monetary Institute. His appointment led to one of the most notable performances by any central bank over the last decade

Transparency: Reserve bank of New Zealand
Publication of new MPC handbook and minutes increases RBNZ's openness


The Reserve bank of New Zealand is known for punching well above its weight in the central banking world. Some 30 years ago, it was the first central bank to adopt an inflation targeting regime, starting a trend that was followed by institutions in many of the world's largest economies.

But the RBNZ was different from some of its peers, in that it did not have external members sitting on its rate-setting committee. That changed in April 2019, when three external members joined a newly formed monetary policy committee (MPC). This modification came as part of a series of wide-ranging reforms, including a move to a dual mandate and a wide range of structural changes, all pushed through by a newly elected coalition government

In the years since Ukraine's revolution ushered in a pro-Western government, the United States, the International Monetary Fund and other donors loosened the purse strings to offer Kiev foreign aid.
But at the same time, anticorruption groups have been raising questions over where those billions of dollars have gone, concerns that have been amplified after Ukraine's central bank chief resigned amid an investigation into a bailout of the country's largest bank, a lender once owned by a pro-government oligarch.
The government in December spent $5.6 billion on a recapitalization of Privatbank, which is owned by Ihor V. Kolomoisky - the pro-Kiev commander of a battle-hardened militia and the governor of a crucial region that is on the front line of the Russian conflict.
Among the moves she oversaw were deals offering Privatbank central bank refinancing to strengthen the lender's balance sheet. But at least $1.8 billion of that money quickly vanished into bad loans, according to the Anti-Corruption Action Center, an independent organization tracking fraud in Ukraine that is financed in part by United States government grants. By December, Privatbank faced a huge capital shortfall.
archive.md/AljDz

While two million dollars is chump change in comparison to size and history of Ukrainian corruption, such quick action by the (until now) very shy Ukrainian prosecutors has raised eyebrows in political circles around the world. This is in sharp contrast to 2014, when in one of the biggest heists of aid money anywhere-an estimated two billion dollars in IMF aid for Ukraine-speedily exited the country via Privatbank, owned by the politically-connected oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky.
https://observer.com/2016/05/the-u-s-is-missing-millions-in-ukraine/

Ukraine's post-coup regime is facing what looks like a falling-out among thieves as oligarch-warlord Igor Kolomoisky, who was given his own province to rule, brought his armed men to Kiev to fight for control of the state-owned energy company, further complicating the State Department's propaganda efforts, reports Robert Parry.
Jaresko will be in charge of dispensing the $17.5 billion that the International Monetary Fund is allocating to Ukraine, along with billions of dollars more expected from U.S. and European governments.
Kolomoisky also is believed to have purchased influence inside the U.S. government through his behind-the-scenes manipulation of Ukraine's largest private gas firm, Burisma Holdings. Last year, the shadowy Cyprus-based company appointed Vice President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, to its board of directors. Burisma also lined up well-connected lobbyists, some with ties to Secretary of State John Kerry, including Kerry's former Senate chief of staff David Leiter, according to lobbying disclosures.
As Time magazine reported, "Leiter's involvement in the firm rounds out a power-packed team of politically-connected Americans that also includes a second new board member, Devon Archer, a Democratic bundler and former adviser to John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign. Both Archer and Hunter Biden have worked as business partners with Kerry's son-in-law, Christopher Heinz, the founding partner of Rosemont Capital, a private-equity company."
According to investigative journalism in Ukraine, the ownership of Burisma has been traced to Privat bank, which is controlled by Kolomoisky.

A State Of Denial

Once again investors are made to believe that nothing matters. Only 2 trading days after Friday's sell off $NDX made new all time history highs. Only 3 days after Friday's sell-off $SPX made a new all time closing high. Only 4 days after Friday's sell off $DJIA, $SPX and $NDX make new all time human history highs in premarket. Fours day, four up gaps, all unfilled at the time of this writing. The market of the overnight gap ups.

Why? Because the economic impact of the coronavirus is over or contained? Of course not, it's far from any of that. Shutdowns persist, warnings of individual companies are mounting i.e. $TSLA, tumbling a day after the technical warning issued, global economic growth estimates are coming down and with them invariably take downs in earnings estimates.

What do markets do? Make new all time highs, back on the multiple expansion game from 2019 when no slowdown in earnings mattered as the liquidity injections from our central bank overlords overrode everything.

This week the PBOC injected liquidity, the Fed kept flushing repo liquidity into the system, and of course a continued buying of treasure bills.

And so markets continue on their path of never pricing in any bad news and continue to disconnect farther and farther from the underlying size of the global economy no matter the ongoing data:

German factory orders:

But there are no bubbles central bankers tell us. Don't insult our intelligence I say. Especially since they perfectly well know that policies and words are closely followed by markets and are market impacting:

Don't blame our negative interest rate policies for housing price increases or bank profitability issues.

And besides there is no housing bubble when ordinary people struggle keeping up with ever rising house prices:

We don't believe you.

And central banks in denial about the distortions they have created and continue to create is not a recipe for long term success.

Fact is they remain trapped and beholden to a market whose entire valuation scheme and price discovery mechanism remains entirely dependent on ongoing central bank intervention.

It's a historic absurdity we are witness to and an ultimate tragedy unfolding before our eyes.

central banks are in denial about the existence of the financial bubbles and distortions they themselves have created.
For to admit them would be to take responsibility and acknowledge that asset prices are sky high overvalued which in itself could lead to a risk off event as the admission of bubbles would lead to a loss in confidence, confidence which must always be maintained.

central banks are residing in glass tower la la land. There is no trust, no transparency, no accountability. Only denial.

And so we see a market running on nothing but optimism despite continued disappointment about the reality on the ground:

Overnight futures ramped on the news that China proactively cut tariffs. You think that's a sign of China thinking the economic impact of the virus is contained and happy days a here again?

I wonder:

Fedcoin? The U.S. central bank is looking into it

The Federal Reserve is looking at a broad range of issues around digital payments and currencies, including policy, design and legal considerations around potentially issuing its own digital currency, Governor Lael Brainard said on Wednesday. Brainard's remarks suggest more openness to the possibility of a Fed-issued digital coin than in the past.

"By transforming payments, digitalization has the potential to deliver greater value and convenience at lower cost," Brainard said at a conference on payments at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. She did not touch on interest rates or the current economic outlook.

"But there are risks," Brainard said, in a partial reprisal of her own and other global central bankers' worries about the rise of private digital payment systems and currencies, including Facebook's Libra digital currency project.

"Some of the new players are outside the financial system's regulatory guardrails, and their new currencies could pose challenges in areas such as illicit finance, privacy, financial stability and monetary policy transmission," she said. central banks globally are debating how to manage digital finance technology and the distributed ledger systems used by bitcoin, which promises near-instantaneous payment at potentially low cost.

The Fed is developing its own round-the-clock real-time payments and settlement service and is currently reviewing 200 comment letters submitted late last year about the proposed service's design and scope, Brainard said.

But the Fed is also, she said, "conducting research and experimentation related to distributed ledger technologies and their potential use case for digital currencies, including the potential for a CBDC (central bank digital currency)."

Dozens of central banks globally are also doing such work, a recent international study showed, with China moving ahead on plans to issue a digital coin. Less than two years ago Brainard told a conference in San Francisco that there is "no compelling demonstrated need" for such a coin.

But that was before the scope of Facebook's digital currency ambitions were widely known. Fed officials, including Brainard, have raised concerns about consumer protections and data and privacy threats that could be posed by a currency that could come into use by the third of the world's population that have Facebook accounts.

At Wednesday's conference, Brainard said the Facebook Libra project "imparted urgency" to the conversation around digital currencies. "We are collaborating with other central banks as we advance our understanding of central bank digital currencies," she said. With more countries looking into issuing their own digital currencies, Brainard said, that adds to "a set of reasons to also be making sure that we are that frontier of both research and policy development."

In the United States, Brainard said, issues that need study include whether a digital currency would make the payments system safer or simpler, and whether it could pose financial stability risks, including the possibility of bank runs if money can be turned "with a single swipe" into the central bank's digital currency.

Other issues include privacy and fraud protection, and even whether the coin would be considered legal tender.

central bankers to forge ahead on digital currencies in April

Chiefs from Japan, Canada and Europe will meet and focus on cross-border transfers.

TOKYO – The heads of six central banks and the bank for International Settlements in mid-April will hold their first meeting on developing their own digital currencies, which can serve as alternatives to Facebook's Libra or the digital yuan.

The central banks of the U.K., Switzerland, Sweden, Canada and Japan as well as the European central bank formed a working group with the BIS in January for joint research on central bank digital currencies.

The central bankers aim to create standards that will govern how digital currencies are used to make international payments between the banks. Security measures will be another key topic. As this group researches digital currencies, "it's quite natural to consider how to make international transactions more convenient," Masazumi Wakatabe, deputy governor of the bank of Japan, said Wednesday, an area that is currently notorious for high fees.

China leads research on central bank digital currencies, which have the potential to reshape the financial system, and the People's bank of China plans its own digital yuan.

The BOJ currently has no plan to issue its own digital money.

Senior representatives of the banks, such as deputy governors and directors, along with working-level officials will prepare their findings before the leaders meet on the sidelines of an international conference in Washington. The group intends to issue an interim report in June and a final report in the autumn.

Rabobank: "central banks Will Save Us Not Just From The Business Cycle And Climate Change, But From Global Pandemics"

Chinese stocks are up; the Chinese currency is up, slightly (though still weaker than 7); global stocks are up; and US Treasury yields are slightly higher.

Yet at the same time we have the first reported death of a 39-year old resident in Hong Kong, where medical workers are on strike over the refusal to totally close the border with China; China reporting 425 deaths and over 20,000 cases despite massive quarantine efforts; China's Global Times reporting that the virus can be transmitted via the digestive system and contact with surfaces such as doorknobs or mobile phone screens, computer keyboards, etc. (which is also the case with many other coronaviruses); Xi Jinping publicly stating the virus "directly affects" China's economic and social stability and has again cracked the whip against the bureaucracy to act better and faster; and the US Centre for Disease Control (CDC) stating it is planning as if this will become a global pandemic. The WHO remains relatively upbeat, however, stating the virus's progression will remain "minimal and slow" if it is fought at the source and countries cooperate - which does not include closing their borders, apparently.

Who aside, something doesn't seem to fit in that market reaction, perhaps? The missing link here is that the PBOC injected CNY400bn (USD57bn) in market liquidity this morning, the equivalent of one month's QE in the US in recent times past. (Ah, the good old days!) Lots more is to follow apparently. Naturally, this relieves some immediate liquidity pressures. It also allows the PBOC to scoop up all the assets that nobody else wants to hold right now via reverse repo - which the Fed knows a thing or two about. What I fail to see is how this is in any way positive for CNY. Only the USD can operate on such a profligate basis without risk of collapse due to its global role: who is stockpiling CNY right now?

Hypothetically, if this virus were to follow the dreadful path mapped out by the CDC, even just within China, would more central bank money really ease our pain? It's almost as if all of the believers in Adam Smith's free markets also have no idea what he wrote (following Plato and others) about the relative value of water and diamonds in different circumstances, an intellectual argument that ended up with Marxism via the labour theory of value - and here we come full circle back to China and the PBOC.

The underlying market hope is clear: central banks will save us, not just from the business cycle, and not just from climate change, but now from global pandemic too. The same people who can't generate 2% y/y CPI sustainably will ensure we all stay at 36.5 - 37.5 degrees centigrade body temperature range. As Bloomberg helpfully summarises today, "Coronavirus Won't Restrain Global Stocks For Long". This is because, as the detail and irony of the article become clear, "It's a bullish sign for global stocks that facts have taken a back seat in much of the market 'analysis' of how to react to the coronavirus." How true that is. Nonetheless, in such an uncertain dynamic, I would still wager that if one wants to be brave enough to dive in to these markets aggressively, one should also be brave enough to stand next to someone who has recently been in Asia coughing without wearing a mask: if you won't do the latter, are you really sure about the former?

Wall Street rallies as China measures ease virus fears

U.S. stocks surged on Tuesday and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq were on pace to unwind losses from last week as fears of a heavy economic impact from the coronavirus epidemic tapered off after China's central bank intervened for the second day. China injected 1.7 trillion yuan ($242.74 billion) via reverse repos on Monday and Tuesday, helping Chinese stocks reverse some losses and lifting the world equity index

The stimulus boosted investor sentiment even as several economists cut forecasts for 2020 global growth as the fast-spreading virus hampers business operations in the world's second largest economy.

The S&P 500 .SPX has so far recouped 2% loss from last week, which was its the steepest weekly drop in six months. The Nasdaq .IXIC was just shy of a record high.

Technology stocks .SPLRCT, which are typically sensitive to growth related concerns in China, led the charge with their 2.5% gain. The China-focused Philadelphia SE semiconductor index .SOX climbed 2.8%.

Alphabet Inc (GOOGL.O) dropped 3.3% after Google's advertising business and new data about YouTube and Google Cloud broadly disappointed.

At 11:29 a.m. ET the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI was up 484.06 points, or 1.70%, at 28,883.87, the S&P 500 .SPX was up 53.26 points, or 1.64%, at 3,302.18 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC was up 170.28 points, or 1.84%, at 9,443.68.

Adding to the optimism was data that showed new orders for U.S.-made goods rose by the most in nearly 1-1/2 years in December. It comes a day after a surprise rebound in factory activity in January.

The fourth-quarter earnings season is half done and nearly 70% of companies that have reported so far have surpassed earnings estimates.

Ralph Lauren Corp (RL.N) jumped 9.1% after the retailer's holiday-quarter profit beat market expectations.

Health insurer Centene Corp (CNC.N) slipped about 1.5%, weighed down by a surge in quarterly medical costs.

Investors were also keeping an eye on the U.S. Democratic presidential nominating race, where officials blamed "inconsistencies" for an indefinite delay in Iowa's caucus results.

Advancing issues outnumbered decliners by a 3.18-to-1 ratio on the NYSE and by a 2.94-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

The S&P index recorded 58 new 52-week highs and two new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 99 new highs and 30 new lows.

central bankers Pull Out Their Monetary Bazookas to Try to Avert a Coronavirus Crash

The emerging coronavirus pandemic is already crimping global commerce. In response, the S&P 500 has thus far put in two weeks' worth of declines (the index fell 2.1% last week) since making new highs to start the year.

Even though the U.S. stock market hasn't even entered a true "correction" phase yet, Wall Street is already clamoring for more Fed stimulus.
Mainstream stock market mavens figure the central bank will step in to limit downside - and they are probably right.
Following the Federal Open Market Committee's decision on Wednesday to keep rates unchanged, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell said he is "carefully monitoring the situation" with regard to the Chinese virus.

It is hitting inflation-sensitive commodities copper and crude oil especially hard. Oil prices dipped 5% last week while copper plunged more than 6%.
Powell is vowing to push the inflation up to a "symmetric" target of 2% - which in practice means pushing it above 2% for a sustained period to counteract the prolonged period of sub-2% inflation (at least officially).

China Bloodbath: Stocks Crash; Oil, Iron Limit Down Despite Emergency PBOC Intervention, Rate Cuts

China's reopening from the long Lunar New Year holiday was set to be ugly, and sure enough with Chinese stocks resuming trade at 9am on Monday, a wave of selling was unleashed culminating in nothing short of a bloodbath with the Shanghai Composite crashing 9% at the open, down by the most since the bursting of China's 2015 stock bubble, and wiping out 12 months worth of gains in a corona moment. Not even the hilarious beat in China's Manufacturing PMI (this time from Caixin), which somehow surpased expectations of a 51.0 print by the smallest amount possible at 51.1 (down from 51.5) despite a major portion of China's population under quarantine and the economy hitting a brick wall, had any impact on stocks. What is odd is that this is happening even as China earlier in the day barred short selling, which only means the central bank made a huge oversight and should have also banned all selling altogether.

As stocks collapse the flight to safety is predictably on with 10Y Chinese bond tumbling in yield to 3%, matching the lowest yield since late 2016….. while spiking in price.
The selloff wasn't limited just to stocks, however, with China's benchmark iron ore contract falling by its daily limit of 8%, with copper, crude and palm oil also plunging by the maximum allowed. As Bloomberg notes, regions accounting for about 90% of copper smelting, 60% of steel production, 65% of oil refining and 40% of coal output have told firms to delay restarting operations until at least Feb. 10.

This is bad news for anyone still holding on to dreams of a Chinese economic renaissance, as the following correlation between China's macro surprise index and copper demonstrates. China's bloodbath is taking place even as the PBOC scrambled earlier in the day to inject a gross 1.2 trillion in liquidity which however as we explained, was woefully inadequate because when netting off the 1 trillion in short-term reverse repo funds scheduled to mature on Monday, the liquidity injection amounted to a far more modest 150BN yuan, or just over $27BN.
The lack of any notable impact from China's reverse repo injection probably explains why shortly after the catastrophic open, the PBOC also cut rates on both its 7 day and 14 day-reverse repo from 2.5% to 2.4%, and from 2.65% to 2.55% respectively. Any additional selling will only beget even more selling, which is certainly on the mind of whoever is buying US futs even as China is crashing.

The Kolomoisky Pyramid: Hillary Clinton, Victoria Nuland and Christine Lagarde

When Igor Kolomoisky financed anti-Russian units operating with the Ukrainian Army in the Ukrainian civil war, he was a staunch ally of Petro Poroshenko's government in Kiev and the Obama Administration's chief Ukraine policymakers, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her Assistant Secretary for European Affairs, Victoria Nuland.

They in turn dominated the voting on the board of directors of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), led by managing director Christine Lagarde. Following the US regime change which installed Poroshenko's regime in the spring of 2014, the IMF voted massive loans for the Ukraine to replace the Russian financing on which the regime of Victor Yanukovich had depended. More than a third of the fresh IMF money was paid out by the National bank of Ukraine (NBU), the state's central bank, into Privatbank controlled by Kolomoisky and his partner, Gennady Bogolyubov.

At the time, investigations of Kolomoisky's business and banking practices, and the special relationship he cultivated with the NBU, reported he was stealing the money through a pyramid of front companies lending each other the IMF cash which was not intended to be repaid. Clinton, Nuland, Lagarde and the IMF staff and board of directors ignored the evidence, as they continued to top up Kolomoisky's pyramid. Criminal investigations by the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) were also reported at the time; they were neutralized by their superiors.

China to inject $174 billion of liquidity on February 3 as markets reopen

China's central bank said it will inject 1.2 trillion yuan ($173.8 billion) worth of liquidity into the markets via reverse repo operations on Monday, as the country prepares to reopen its stock markets amid a new coronavirus outbreak. China's authorities have pledged to use various monetary policy tools to ensure liquidity remains reasonably ample and to support firms affected by the virus epidemic, which has so far claimed 305 lives, all but one in China.

The People's bank of China made the announcement in a statement published on its website on Sunday, adding the total liquidity in the banking system will be 900 billion yuan higher than the same period in 2019 after the injection. According to Reuters calculations based on official central bank data, 1.05 trillion yuan worth of reverse repos are set to mature on Monday, meaning that 150 billion yuan in net cash will be injected. Investors are bracing for a volatile session in Chinese markets when onshore trades resume on Monday after a break for the Lunar New Year which was extended by the government. China's stock, currency and bond markets have all been closed since Jan. 23 and had been due to re-open last Friday.

There will be no further delays to the reopening, the country's securities market regulator said in an interview published by the state-backed People's Daily newspaper on Sunday.

The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) said it had taken the decision after balancing various factors, and believed the outbreak's impact on the market would be "short term". To support firms affected by the epidemic, the CSRC said companies that had expiring stock pledge agreements could apply for extensions with securities firms, and it would urge corporate bond investors to extend the maturity dates of debt.
The CSRC is also considering launching hedging tools for the A-share market to help alleviate market panic and will suspend evening sessions of futures trading starting from Monday, it said.

Ukraine money-go-round: how $1.7 billion in bank loans ended up offshore

ARTSYZ, Ukraine/LONDON (Reuters) - When Ukrainian company Profit signed a $48.5 million deal with a British firm in 2014, it became part of what prosecutors in Ukraine say was a potentially criminal scheme that moved $1.7 billion from the country's biggest lender to offshore accounts.

The deal between Profit and Trade Point Agro is part of a pre-trial investigation that is still under way into whether officials at Privatbank illegally took money from the lender through shady loan practices involving dozens of companies.

Privatbank, which was nationalized in December 2016, and Ukraine's anti-corruption bureau are also investigating whether the bank illegally provided loans to companies linked to two wealthy tycoons who owned the bank before the state takeover.

Privatbank, now controlled by the state, said the court order was granted on the basis of detailed evidence to the court that they extracted almost $2 billion from Privatbank through dishonest transactions.

An investigation commissioned by the central bank in 2017 found that Privatbank had for at least a decade been used for money-laundering and shady deals where 95 percent of corporate loans went to companies related to the former owners. Kolomoisky dismissed the findings, made public this month, as "nonsense".

General Prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko said in December there was "no easy legal answer" to the question of whether Kolomoisky and Privatbank stole money, and that Kolomoisky believes he agreed to the nationalization under duress.

"Who is responsible for the stolen money? Kolomoisky's answer: nobody stole money," Lutsenko said.

Postmaster General is a misleading title, it should be something more like "Pirate Captain"

https://understandcontractlawandyouwin.com/maritime-admiralty-law-conspiracy-fact-or-fiction/

What is admiralty law? Admiralty law is the law of the sea and banking law is international maritime law. Maritime admiralty law was originally for the purpose of governing ships that were importing and exporting products abroad.


Maritime admiralty law does not deal with civil affairs; it's supposed to deal only with banking or merchant transactions.



So, when a ship arrives at a foreign dock, its merchandise is taken off the ship and unto the land. Of course there has to be a way to transfer custody of the merchandise, so a certificate is issued to account for each product. The certificate would state on its face the "berth date" of the products into the custody of the nation taking ownership.



Does any of this sound familiar yet? This brings to mind the birth certificate. So, why exactly is it required for all babies born to have a certificate of live birth? If certificates can establish ownership of something, then who exactly owns us?



It is said that when we are born, and have had a birth certificate application filed, our vessel (flesh and blood body) is considered lost at sea. For this reason, a trust is created in our name, and we are the beneficiary of that trust. As the beneficiary, we do not get to choose what happens with the trust or the estate within the trust. The executor or trustee decides for us what benefits we get from the trust. This trust is actually a private international trust, and there is no need for its existence to be divulged to the beneficiary. This trust is actually also never "expressed"; it is 100% constructive. Which means that when you're in court, the judge can "construe" the trust however he/she chooses to be for their benefit. Usually, they make you the trustee, which makes you liable for whatever the trust(strawman) did wrong since the trustee is always a slave to the trust.



So, back to the birth certificate... It has been proven that the birth certificate is a bond. And as such, financial instruments are created from it and traded on the stock markets. The proceeds of these transactions go into the estate of the "private international trust" that the you are unaware even exists. So there is all this "money" being made off of all of us.



This all began in 1910 when a group of 6 bankers and economic policy-makers held a secret meeting at Jeckyll Island(you can read all about this in The Creature From Jeckyll Island). These 6 men represented the wealthiest and most elite people's interests. The purpose of this meeting was to figure out a way to trick the American people into allowing a central bank into the country(there were several central banks before this that were taken down by the people). Then in 1913 the Federal Reserve Act was signed into effect by President Wilson. This was recounted in 1916 by B.C. Forbes, the founder of Forbes magazine. It was this act that put us into Maritime Admiralty law.



A few years later, in 1921, the Sheppard-Towner Maternity Act was passed by Congress. This Maternity Act forced all birth to be registered with the state under the excuse that it was for health benefits for the people. This leads us up to 1933 when the government took away all the gold and silver with HJR192 and switched the country over to using Federal Reserve Notes(these are the dollars we use today). 1933 was also the year in which the government went bankrupt, again. So what exactly happened?


This whole process switched the country from common law, to maritime admiralty law because we were no longer allowed to pay for anything with real money(gold or silver).



We now walk around exchanging negotiable instruments, which is done only in maritime admiralty law.



So what does this mean for us? It means we can never actually fully own anything (allodial title) because we have no money of substance to pay with. We are only able to pay with promissory notes, which are either in the form of a promissory note(such as when you sign a note to purchase a house) or in the form of Federal Reserve Notes. What this also means for us is that since we can never legally pay with money of substance, the government is actually obligated to discharge any debts we may incur(HJR192). The tricky part, is figuring out how to access this holy grail of administrative processes. You can't write out a promise to pay on a napkin and hand it to the bank, making the treasury the drawee, and think that you're going to walk away unscathed. There is definitely more to it than that.

BlackRock operates globally with 70 offices in 30 countries and clients in 100 countries. Due to its power and the sheer size and scope of its financial assets and activities, BlackRock has been called the world's largest shadow bank.

BlackRock: The secret world power

One name has been haunting Wall Street for years. Still, it remains a mystery to most. Even Heike Buchter admits it only began appearing on her radar recently. "bankers started talking about [it]. They were analyzing central bank portfolios, and the name Larry Fink kept popping up," the German correspondent, who's been covering Wall Street for more than a decade, told DW.

It stuck with Buchter, who set out to find out all she could about Fink and his financial colossus BlackRock - "one of the world's preeminent asset management firms," as the New York-based corporation boasts on its website.

"Prior to the financial crisis I was not even familiar with the name. But in the years after the Lehman [Brothers] collapse [in 2008], BlackRock appeared everywhere. Everywhere!," Buchter said. On Monday, her 280-page exposé - the first-ever of its kind - appears in German.

Lack of transparency

The author recalls a lunch with an insider. He asked her, only half-jokingly, to speak quietly. He was concerned someone from BlackRock might be hiding in the kitchen, spitting in his soup. Accordingly, she titled the first chapter in her book: "The most powerful company no one's heard about."

BlackRock manages $4.7 trillion (4.2 trillion euros) worth of assets. All told, their platforms juggle $14 trillion - the equivalent of 5 percent of all financials assets worldwide. But BlackRock's reach goes further than just buying and holding stocks and bonds.

Follow the Real Money Behind the New Green Agenda

Within little more than a year everyone imaginable seems to have jumped on the bandwagon of the new green agenda of radical measures to "stop" climate change. Now the bastion of corporate economic globalization, the Swiss Davos World Economic Forum, has made its main theme this year, "Stakeholders for a Cohesive and Sustainable World," with major focus on such notions as "How to Save the Planet." Of course, featured speaker was the young Swedish activist Greta Thunberg. What few realize is how carefully all this is being orchestrated to prepare a massive shift in global capital flows where a handful of financial giants stand to gain.

From Greta to Bonnie Prince Charles, the themes at Davos 2020 were dominated for the first time by the climate change agenda. What comes through the interstices of the meeting of some 3,000 of the world's corporate giants, is that a major global campaign is being orchestrated and it includes the world's largest capital investment fund heads and the world's major central bankers.

Davos trustees

It was no accident that Davos, the promoter of globalization, is so strongly behind the Climate Change agenda. Davos WEF has a board of appointed trustees. Among them is the early backer of Greta Thunberg, climate multi-millionaire, Al Gore, chairman of the Climate Reality Project. WEF Trustees also include former IMF head, now European central bank head Christine Lagarde whose first words as ECB chief were that central banks had to make climate change a priority. Another Davos trustee is outgoing bank of England head Mark Carney, who was just named Boris Johnson's climate change advisor and who warns that pension funds that ignore climate change risk bankruptcy (sic). The board also includes the influential founder of Carlyle Group, David M. Rubenstein. It includes Feike Sybesma of the agribusiness giant, Unilever, who is also Chair of the High Level Leadership Forum on Competitiveness and Carbon Pricing of the World bank Group. And perhaps the most interesting in terms of pushing the new green agenda is Larry Fink, founder and CEO of the investment group BlackRock.

Khazarian Jews Kicked Out of Russia

1-20-2020 Ben Fulford:
Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:
"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

Putin also wants to Remove all Dual-Citizens from Government

Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege.  He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year.  A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Virus anxiety weighs on Asian stocks, boosts safe-haven bid

Asian stocks slipped while gold and bonds were in demand on Thursday as worries about the spread of a new virus from China sent investors heading for safety. The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, as expected, although bank Chairman Jerome Powell's comments about a low inflation outlook added to U.S. government bonds' appeal.

Yields on benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasuries, which fall when prices rise, tumbled nearly 9 basis points overnight to 1.5790%, and drifted lower to 1.5750% in Asian trade US10YT=RR, not far above a three-month low of 1.5700% hit on Tuesday.

Gold extended overnight gains to rally 0.2% to $1,579.60 per ounce XAU

U.S. Fed chairman Jerome Powell said, after keeping rates on hold as expected, that the central bank "is not satisfied with inflation running below 2% and it is not a ceiling."

With the Fed's targeted core inflation running at 1.6%, the remark was interpreted as scene-setting for a rate cut, with markets now pricing in a 10% it could come in March. Powell also snuffed a small rally in equities on Wall Street, saying the new coronavirus, which has been spreading rapidly from its origin in Wuhan, China, added to global uncertainty.

China's National Health Commission said on Thursday the total number of confirmed deaths from the coronavirus in the country climbed to 170 as of late Wednesday, as the number of infected patients rose to 7,711. The World Health Organisation's Emergency Committee is due to reconvene on Thursday to decide whether the rapid spread of the virus now constitutes a global emergency.

Oil prices, which have been sliding in anticipation of the virus hurting global demand, sat close to lows touched on Monday.

New Report Reveals Goldman Sachs' Crime Wave Under Last Three CEOs (Who Got Obscenely Rich in the Process)

Yesterday, the nonprofit Wall Street watchdog, Better Markets, released an in-depth and scathing analysis of the past 20 years at Goldman Sachs. A bold headline summed it up as follows: "$874 Billion in Bailouts, 36 Major Legal Actions, $9.8 Billion in Fines and Settlements with Billions More Coming." One key takeaway from this crime spree, write the authors, is this:
"Goldman Sachs has amazed a RAP sheet showing that the financial crash of 2008 did little if anything to slow the pace of illegal activity that was well underway in the years leading up to the crash. Goldman Sachs was heavily engaged in illegal activity before the crash; they reached new heights of lawlessness in connection with the crash; and they continued to violate the law in the post-crash era...."

Senator Bernie Sanders has repeatedly stated that the business model of Wall Street is fraud. We've refined that to the business model of Wall Street is monetizing fraud. And based on this latest report, Goldman Sachs takes the top prize for its panoply of innovations in monetizing fraud.

The Better Markets report raises serious concerns on multiple fronts. First, it traces the Goldman Sachs' crime wave from 1998 through 2019. Three separate CEO's served during that period, all of whom became obscenely rich and none of whom curbed the crime wave. Despite all of the federal and state investigations that arose as a result of the Wall Street corruption that brought on the crash of 2008, the report found that the pattern of illegal conduct actually increased at Goldman Sachs after the 2008 crash.

Henry (Hank) Paulson was the CEO at Goldman Sachs from 1999 until he took his seat as U.S. Treasury Secretary under President George W. Bush in 2006. (His full career at Goldman Sachs spanned 32 years.) Failing up is the new normal today on Wall Street. (See Goldman Sachs: The Vampire Squid's Alum Control Two Fed banks, the U.S. Treasury, the European central bank and the bank of England.) Paulson could not have timed his exit any better. Goldman's role in shorting subprime debt that it was selling to its customers as a solid investment had yet to be exposed so its publicly traded stock had not yet collapsed. Right after Paulson's confirmation as U.S. Treasury Secretary by the Senate, he filed to sell approximately $500 million of his Goldman stock. Under rules established for private sector persons having to sell their stock holdings to take a position in the federal government and avoid conflict of interest concerns, Paulson was going to be able to potentially save upwards of $200 million in capital gains taxes on that $500 million stock sale.
Paulson was also a heavy supporter of Web-Van and called it "the future"…

Blankfein, who had served under Paulson as President of Goldman, took the reins as CEO when Paulson left. Blankfein became the wily defender of the Goldman Sachs' crime wave and a billionaire in the process, avowing at one point that he was "doing God's work." Blankfein stepped down in 2018 - a few months ahead of Malaysia filing a criminal indictment against the firm in the 1MDB matter. According to media reports, Goldman is expected to settle the criminal investigation of that matter by the U.S. Department of Justice early this year.

The new CEO at Goldman is David Solomon, who served as President under Blankfein, and has been with the firm for the past two decades of its crime wave and thus likely knows where all of the smoking guns are buried.

Fed Repos Have Plowed $6.6 Trillion to Wall Street in Four Months; That's 34% of Its Feeding Tube During Epic Financial Crash

According to the data made available on the public website of the New York Fed, since September 17, 2019 it has funneled a cumulative total of $6.6 trillion to some of the 24 trading houses on Wall Street that are known as its "primary dealers." The giant sum has been sluiced to Wall Street in the form of repurchase agreement (repo) loans without any details being provided to the elected representatives in Congress as to which firms are getting the money or what it's being ultimately used for. But since the stock market has set repeated new highs since the program launched, some veteran market watchers believe the Fed is fueling a Ponzi-like rally in stocks.

When the nonpartisan investigative arm of Congress, the General Accountability Office (GAO), tallied up the cumulative total that the Federal Reserve had secretly sluiced to Wall Street from December 2007 through July 21, 2010, it came to $16.1 trillion. (See chart below.) But the GAO did not include all of the programs that came out of the New York Fed. When those other programs are added, the Levy Economics Institute, using the Fed's own data, arrived at the tally of $19.559 trillion to the Wall Street trading houses and another $10 trillion in central bank liquidity swaps, bringing the bailout figure to over $29 trillion.

Today's repo loans are being made at 1.55 to 1.57 percent interest by the New York Fed. On September 17, 2019 the free market wanted to price those loans at 10 percent. That's when the New York Fed jumped in with both feet with a pile of money priced at fictitious interest rates.

The cumulative tallies also allow us to measure this current unnamed crisis that has prompted the New York Fed to plow $6.6 trillion into Wall Street in a period of four months versus prior crises. For example, during the first week of the Fed's repo loan program in 2019 - from September 17 through September 24 - the New York Fed cumulatively plowed $373.9 billion into the trading houses of Wall Street using repo loans.Compare that dollar figure to the amount the New York Fed pumped into its primary dealers during the pivotal week of the worst financial collapse since the Great Depression. On Monday, September 15, 2008, the century-old Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy; the giant insurer, AIG, which was the counterparty to tens of billions of Wall Street's derivative bets, was put into receivership with the U.S. government; and 94-year old Merrill Lynch was teetering so badly under subprime debt losses that it had to merge with bank of America. From September 15, 2008 through September 22, 2008, the New York Fed provided cumulative liquidity of $285 billion under its repo loan program - $88.9 billion less than during its first week of repo operations last year.

See cap#2

Last September was the first time the New York Fed has used this repo loan operation since the financial crisis. And, yet, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell refuses to say that there is any crisis on Wall Street. On November 13, 2019 Powell testified before the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, stating: "The core of the financial sector appears resilient, with leverage low and funding risk limited relative to the levels of recent decades."

That statement comes despite the fact that the Federal regulator of national banks, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), reported in December that just four Wall Street banks hold 87.2 percent of all derivatives in the entire banking industry. Those four Wall Street banks (JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs and bank of America) have notional exposure (face amount) of $175 trillion in derivatives.

See cap#3

This morning at 8:37 a.m. (ET), Dow Jones futures were showing a loss of 454 points, suggesting a deep red ink open for the stock market at 9:30 a.m. The New York Fed had already this morning pumped $49.60 billion in repo loans to its Wall Street trading houses, at an interest rate of 1.55 percent.

Negative Debt Pile Surges by $1.2 Trillion in Dash for Havens

The global rush for safer assets has fueled a huge jump in the world's stockpile of negative-yielding bonds, snapping months of decline in the value of subzero debt.

The pool of securities with a yield below zero surged by $1.16 trillion last week, the largest weekly increase since at least 2016 when Bloomberg began tracking the data daily. Another injection looked certain on Monday, as investors worldwide ditched riskier assets and piled into bonds amid mounting fears over a deadly virus spreading from China. It all threatens to reignite a debate about the phenomenon of bonds guaranteed to post losses for buy-and-hold investors. While the total fluctuated day-by-day, it shrank for four straight months through December on signs a slowdown in global growth may be bottoming out and that central banks may pause their easing cycle.

That means no immediate relief for markets that had started to feel the burden of negative yields lift. Last week brought the addition since mid-January to about $1.5 trillion and the pile overall to $12.4 trillion – the highest level in two months.

The resurgence is a potent reminder that the market distortions synonymous with loose monetary policies have not gone away. Their impact and effectiveness was one of the key topics at a gathering of world and business leaders in Davos last week. Among the voices, Cantor Fitzgerald LP President Anshu Jain said repercussions for insurers and pension funds "will be felt for years to come." U.S. President Donald Trump wanted to know who was buying it all. Even with the handwringing at Davos and growing sub-zero stockpile, policy makers setting ultra-low rates have assured markets the easy money will keep flowing. European central bank President Christine Lagarde said last week policy must remain "highly accommodative" with inflation struggling to stay much above 1%, though she did reiterate the bank will keep looking at the impact of negative rates.

The risk-off mood sparked by the coronavirus and worries about its impact on companies and growth may yet prove temporary. The total of negative-yielding debt remains well below its high of more than $17 trillion in August, and many analysts expect it to stay that way.

Hedge Fund CIO: "Are We On The Cusp Of Economic Regime Change And Unprecedented Wealth Destruction"

Submitted by Eric Peters, CIO of One River Asset Management

"One man's debt is another man's asset," said the CIO, lifting his palms evenly, bringing them into perfect balance. "The weight of one is perfectly offset by that of the other." So in theory, it should not matter how large either grows. "But debt creates asymmetric behavior between borrower and lender," he explained. "When the economy comes under stress, borrowers are forced to retrench, and lenders must then choose whether to fill the economic void left by that adjustment." By repairing their balance sheets, the borrowers do additional economic damage.

"Lenders tend to wait and see how things shake out before stepping in," continued the CIO. central banks provide stimulus to lure them back. "Therefore, the higher the debt level in an economy, the more susceptible it becomes to catastrophic failure and the less responsive it is to stimulus." So central bankers must work harder. "But by doing so, they slow the necessary adjustments in parts of the economy where balance sheets are unsustainable. And this incentivizes leveraging up in places where balance sheets are strong - creating new excess."

"In a global financial system, these dynamics spill across borders," he said. 10yr German bunds yield -0.34%. Greeks pay +1.28% to borrow for 10yrs (40bps less than the US). Tesla market capitalization is $102bln. "This is good for the short-term performance of asset prices and economic growth, but down the line, it makes the financial system more prone to catastrophe." And less responsive to stimulus.

"In each downturn, central bankers must step in more and more aggressively. The process is reflexive and ultimately leads to a Minsky extreme."

Anecdote:

"Financial markets have capitulated to the secular stagnation narrative," said the CIO, high atop his prodigious pile. "And in so doing, they have tethered themselves to the wrong inevitabilities - to low interest rates forever, to asymmetric central bank reaction functions, to a negative bond-equity correlation," he added, peering into the distance. "And now a financial system which is structurally intolerant of inflation faces a political-economy regime change which makes inflation an imperative."

Seeking to escape the 1970s inflation, policymakers inadvertently engineered an equally powerful deflation machine. The 2001 ascension of China into the WTO global trading system - combined with decades of Moore's Law compounding our computational speeds - amplified the machine's deflationary force.

Q Research General #10135: 3 Days of Arguments Dismantled in 2 hrs Edition

While the populations of China and India are known for liking physical gold, Germany flies under the radar. An astounding +26 million Germans have investments in gold bars and coins. In fact far more Germans have savings in physical gold than in the stock market - a statistic hard to imagine in the United States or Canada.

According to a recent survey by the Research Center for Financial Services on behalf of Reisebank, Germans currently own 8,918 tonnes of gold worth 330 billion euros (USD$367.5 billion), just over half (55% or 4,925 tonnes) in bars and coins.

Gold fans may also be surprised to know that Germany's central bank is loaded up with more bullion than any other's, except for the United States, 3,366.8 tonnes versus 8,133.5t held by the US Treasury, most of which is in Fort Knox, Kentucky.

A four-year plan to repatriate 674 tonnes of German gold held at the Banque de France and the Federal Reserve of New York was completed in 2017.

Yet these facts and figures indicating strong gold buy-in are incongruous with a new German law that severely limits the anonymity of citizens' gold purchases. In this article we are asking, "Why are Germans lining up for gold?"

Khazarian Jews Kicked Out of Russia

1-20-2020 Ben Fulford:
Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:
"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."
Sauce: https://tass.com/top-officials/1043741

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege.  He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year.  A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week.  A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.

Putin also want amendments, to limit the Presidency to 2 terms and to remove all dual-citizens from government.

Do you know what the 'real' WMD (Weapon of Mass Destruction) was in Iraq that caused us to invade? The Iraqi banking system didn't have a central bank.

That's right. Soros, the Sauds and the Rothschilds used the Federal Government and it's Military Forces to install a central bank in Iraq, and Libya.

See how it works? America was not in control of it's 3 branches of Government. The triangle of power of the Sauds, Soros and the Rothschilds controlled our Government and the US Military. That's why we've been at War for the last 100 years.

THAT'S what this is about.

Soros - Controls Rinos and the Dem Party
Rothschild - Controls the money supply
House of Saud - controlled US Politicians and regulated energy, the commodity that nations live and die by.

Wake up. The World is not what you think it is.

Moar Climate Change Bullshit Hysteria

Financial Crisis: BIS Warns On 'Green Swan' Climate Event

Mimicking the concept of a Black Swan event, the bank for International Settlements (BIS) is warning that a 'Green Swan' climate event could trigger a financial crisis

Nassim Nicholas Taleb popularized the concept of a Black Swan event in his 2007 book, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable. Taleb laid out three requirements: the event must be unknown and unpredictable, it must cause a massive impact and people then try to rationalize that it really was predictable after all.

Now that the BIS has guzzled the green global warming Kool-Aid, it suggests that a 'Green Swan' event is unpredictable as to when it will occur, but is absolutely certain that it will occur.

Many central banks already contribute to the effort by monitoring climate-related risks through stress tests, incorporating environmental, social and governance criteria in pension funds, or working with banks on disclosing carbon-intensive exposure to assess potential financial-stability risks. [bank of France Governor] Villeroy says that's simply not enough however.

"The stark reality is that we are all losing the fight against climate change," Villeroy said, advocating two solutions the European central bank could discuss in its upcoming strategy review: integrating climate change in all economic and forecasting models, and overhauling the collateral framework to reflect climate-related risks.

"If central banks are to preserve financial and price stability in the age of climate change, it is in their interest to help mobilize all the forces needed to win this battle," he said. [emphasis added]

Governor Villeroy apparently reflects consensus among central bankers: we are already losing the battle against climate change, so we had better double- or triple-down our efforts to assure victory.

Nigeria Says Official Got Bag of Cash from 'Sham' Energy Firm

Nigeria, trying to overturn a $9.6 billion legal debt, is alleging that suspicious payments were made to officials involved in the award of a 20-year gas supply contract to a little-known offshore firm.

New evidence from an investigation into the 2010 deal between Africa's largest economy and Process & Industrial Developments Ltd. leaves no doubt that it was a "sham," Nigeria said in documents presented at a hearing in London Friday. P&ID, which has won several judgments against Nigeria for failing to honor the agreement, has denied all wrongdoing. The disputed sum is worth a quarter of the country's foreign reserves.

A probe by the Nigerian anti-fraud agency into the P&ID case is ongoing, and "continuing to uncover new evidence of fraud and corruption on a regular basis," Nigeria said in the documents. Its lawyers pointed to a recent admission by Taofiq Tijani, a technical adviser to the petroleum ministry at the time, that he had received $50,000 in a "black bag" after meeting P&ID founder Michael Quinn.

Tijani used a $44,000 payment from a P&ID-linked company in 2014, four years after the deal was signed, to fund his son's wedding, according to Nigeria's filings. Both Tijani and a government lawyer who witnessed the contract "received suspicious payments from offshore companies connected to P&ID," Nigeria alleged.

Tijani wasn't present at the London hearing, where P&ID is trying to enforce its claim, and Nigeria is trying to overturn the earlier decision.

"I have the right to remain silent," he said when reached by phone.

The P&ID case began as a private legal dispute in a London arbitration forum and has erupted into a corruption scandal that has affected Nigerian central bank policy and hurt the country's ability to borrow on debt markets. Nigeria has argued that P&ID had neither the ability nor the intention to build a gas power plant in the oil-rich Niger Delta, and that its deceased founder Quinn, a former music manager, was involved in fraud.

A tribunal of arbitrators ordered Nigeria to pay P&ID damages of $6.6 billion plus interest in January 2017 and the English High Court authorized the firm to enforce the award in September.

P&ID's spokesmen didn't immediately comment when reached by email. The firm said in December that the probe was "bogus" and "a desperate ploy by Nigeria to evade a legal judgment," after investigators issued an arrest warrant for Quinn's son in Ireland.

The hearing in London on Friday was held to determine a timetable for resolving Nigeria's appeal. P&ID is seeking a swift determination of the issues, Nigeria's lawyers said, "no doubt aware that fuller consideration will show the vast fraud perpetrated on Nigeria, and P&ID's attempt to use the English courts as a vehicle of that fraud." A trial on the validity of the contract may be held as soon as April 2020.

WEF Debuts Framework For central bank Digital Currency

TN has documented the headlong rush of central banks toward digital/blockchain currency in order to replace physical currencies. This will be the new financial system for Sustainable Development, aka Technocracy. ? TN Editor

The World Economic Forum (WEF) - together with some of the world's major central banks - has created a central bank digital currency (CBDC) policymaker toolkit.

According to an announcement on Jan. 22, the toolkit is the WEF's attempt to help policy-makers understand whether deploying a CBDC would be advantageous and guide them through its design.

The WEF collaborated with regulators, central bank researchers, international organizations and experts from over 40 institutions to develop the framework. The head of blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT) at the World Economic Forum Sheila Warren explained:

"Given the critical roles central banks play in the global economy, any central bank digital currency implementation, including potentially with blockchain technology, will have a profound impact domestically and internationally. [...] It is imperative that central banks proceed cautiously, with a rigorous analysis of the opportunities and challenges posed."

World's Richest Are Stashing 'Large Sums' Of Cash In Vaults As Swiss bankers Rage Against Negative Rates


Finally, somebody at Davos is talking about something other than the weather…

Davos's wealthiest denizens have reportedly been laser-focused on the issue of climate change and it's potential impact on the global economy and markets this year - and the Trump vs. Greta drama has only stoked interest - but apparently at least one of the hundreds of reports combing the town's ritzy resorts has found a couple of bankers willing to discuss what's really bothering the industry.

And to our complete lack of surprise, that boogeyman is negative interest rate.
Now that the Fed has finished with its 'midterm adjustment', no other central bank in the developed world is going to have the courage to lift rates off the zero bound, particularly as the Continental economy careens toward a recession.

But as the rate compression continues to punish European banks, placing them at a significant disadvantage to their American peers (just look at what's going on with Deutsche bank), some of the wealthy customers whom the banks have leaned on to try and make up for their lost revenues are deciding to pull their money and stash it under the mattress instead.

Because at least then they won't need to pay points on their deposits.

According to CNN, several Swiss private bankers roaming the halls of Davos have said that clients have asked to withdraw large sums of cash so they can store it themselves, in a vault or in some other type of secure facility. The trend is beginning to wear on Switzerland's reputation as a safe and amenable locale for the world's wealthy to stash their cash.

"A lot of people [are] thinking about what they should do, and alternatives to this," said Adriel Jost, head of economics at Wellershoff & Partners, a consultancy based in Zurich.

Davos denizen Norman Villamin, chief investment officer for private banking at Switzerland's UBP, said a limited number of clients have moved their cash into private storage. Some may have sold their business or a home recently, and "can't deploy the cash all in one go," he explained.

Private banker Rahn+Bodmer also said some clients had asked for at least some of their money back in cash.

"We tell the client, watch out - it's your money," said R+B partner Martin Bidermann. Many have chosen to move their money anyway.

According to CNN, Swiss banks generally try to avoid passing costs on to customers like this, and will only charge such outrageous fees when net interest margin no longer exists. For five years, Swiss banks have struggled with some of the steepest negative rates in Europe, a monetary framework designed to keep the Swiss franc from appreciating (remember the explosion of volatility that ensued when the Swiss de-pegged the franc from the euro five years ago?).
But banks are being charged an outrageous rate to store excess reserves at the central bank. The SNB has maintained a policy rate of -0.75% at its December meeting, while signaling that rates will likely remain on hold at least through next year. This has forced many large Swiss banks, including Credit Suisse and UBS, to charge a negative interest rate on some of their largest customer deposits.

Of course, for clients who insist on holding their money in physical cash, devising a storage plan will take some work. Clients will need to figure out the logistics of safely storing the money. It would also be wise to ensure the cash, which will eat into the profit margin of keeping it in a vault instead of a bank.

Interestingly, CNN noted that according to SNB data, the amount of cash in circulation hasn't climbed in recent years. That could mean one of two things: either this 'trend piece' is based on conversations with one or two boastful individuals, or the SNB is being deliberately obfuscating.



Either way, if large cash deposits are flowing out of the banking system, at some point, the franc should depreciate, which in turn might put the SNB in the uncomfortable position of trying to justify for continuing with its negative rates even as the currency sinks.

>>7896524 (pb)

There was a comment in this past bread notable post-
"Next on the horizon is central banks. POTUS, Putin and Xi are already strangling their respective central banks (for us the Fed Reserve) through trade and the central banks (Fed) are getting desperate."

How does trade agreements strangle the central banks? Is money sent to the Treasury from tariffs isolated from central bank?

I've been under the impression that POTUS is out to bankrupt the Fed by excessive borrowing coupled with cutting tax revenues. Is there something with tariffs that play into this?

$180 Billion Asset Manager: "There Is No Way Out, Fed Policies Can No Longer Be Exited Without Provoking The Next Crisis"

When just over three years ago, TCW's Chief Investment Officer in Fixed Income, Tad Rivelle, who oversees roughly $180BN in assets, or more than Jeff Gundlach, stated that we are now living through the third consecutive asset bubble in a row, "the central bankers' bubble" which followed the dot com and housing bubbles…

… he naturally caused a stir as back then he was still one of the first established professionals to confirm and admit that this particular "tinfoil conspiracy theory" website had been right all along: the market's performance was entirely due to the Fed, and that the longer the Fed's "emergency" measures continued, the more locked in the central bank would be as the reverse process, namely price discovery without Fed intervention, would result in a catastrophic crisis that could even lead to global war.

A few years later, Tad Rivelle's then shocking report would have barely registered, as it is now common knowledge that every single market is distorted beyond comprehension due to Fed policies (with a handful of idiots still pretending that's not true), and while everyone knows that continued central bank intervention will only make the ensuing final crash that much greater, nobody has any idea how to detach the Fed from capital markets.

Which brings us to Rivelle's latest note, which while far less controversial this time, still manages to hit the nail on the head with punchlines which once again excoriates the "free market" for becoming more centrally planned than the USSR had ever hoped to become.

We urge everyone to read it.

Goldman Sachs: The Vampire Squid's Alum Control Two Fed banks, the U.S. Treasury, the European central bank and the bank of England

The head of the Federal Reserve bank of Dallas (Robert S. Kaplan), the head of the Federal Reserve bank of Minneapolis (Neel Kashkari), the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury (Steve Mnuchin), the President of the European central bank (Mario Draghi) and the head of the bank of England (Mark Carney) all have two things in common: they sit atop vast amounts of money and they are all alums of Goldman Sachs. In addition, the immediate past President of the Federal Reserve bank of New York, William Dudley, which secretly sluiced over $29 trillion to bail out Wall Street banks during the financial crisis and has now opened its money spigot for trillions of dollars more, worked at Goldman Sachs for more than two decades, rising to the rank of partner and U.S. Chief Economist.

Today, Goldman Sachs is under a criminal investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and under a criminal indictment by Malaysia for its role in bribery and embezzlement of its sovereign wealth fund known as 1MDB.

Gary Cohn, the sitting President and Chief Operating Officer of Goldman, was picked by Trump to lead the National Economic Council and be his chief strategist in developing his economic policy. In the two years prior to the 2008 financial crash on Wall Street, Cohn was Co-President of Goldman. Cohn became a multi-millionaire from the business done in those years, earning $27.5 million in restricted stock and options just in the year 2006.

Mnuchin is hardly the first Goldman Sachs alum to serve as U.S. Treasury Secretary. Robert Rubin was U.S. Treasury Secretary in the Bill Clinton presidency. Rubin was a long-tenured partner at Goldman Sachs who rose to the rank of Co-Chairman of the firm. Rubin was a key player in the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act during the Clinton administration. Glass-Steagall had kept the U.S. financial system safe for 66 years by banning Wall Street's trading houses from owning federally-insured, deposit-taking banks. Just nine years after the repeal, Wall Street would collapse again in a replay of 1929 - another period when Wall Street's trading houses owned deposit-taking banks and used the funds to make fatal, speculative gambles.

Henry (Hank) Paulson served as U.S. Treasury Secretary in the George W. Bush administration and was on hand to make sure Wall Street got its massive bailout in 2008 during the worst financial crash since the Great Depression. Paulson received a massive windfall on his sale of his $480 million in Goldman Sachs' stock when he left Goldman as CEO to become U.S. Treasury Secretary in 2006, getting out ahead of the details of Goldman's role in the subprime debt crisis.

Sometimes the revolving door swings the other way at Goldman Sachs. E. Gerald Corrigan served as the President of the New York Fed from 1985 to 1993. One year later, Corrigan was on the payroll of Goldman Sachs as a Managing Director. He made partner two years later and worked there for the next 22 years.

After landing at Goldman, Corrigan co-chaired a secretive group that was made up of the chief risk officers of the Wall Street banks. It was called the Counterparty Risk Management Policy Group (CRMPG). The group's plan was to periodically release erudite-sounding reports to regulators suggesting that Wall Street could police itself under a set of "Guiding Principles" in order to escape further scrutiny or regulation of its insane levels of derivatives.

Representatives from banks like Lehman Brothers, Citigroup, Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch sat on key committees of the Group and helped to formulate the "Guiding Principles" for Wall Street. Lehman Brothers filed bankruptcy on September 15, 2008 - just five weeks after a report from the group on managing risk was released. One day before the Lehman collapse, Merrill Lynch had collapsed into the arms of bank of America. In March of that year, Bear Stearns had flamed out spectacularly and was absorbed by JPMorgan with billions of dollars in help from the New York Fed. Also in 2008, Citigroup received the largest taxpayer bailout in U.S. history. It was later revealed by the Government Accountability Office that Citigroup had also secretly received over $2.5 trillion in cumulative, below-market, loans from the New York Fed - a significant part of which were made against collateral of junk bonds and stocks, which were in freefall at the time the New York Fed accepted them as collateral.

Khazarian Jews Kicked Out of Russia

1-20-2020 Ben Fulford:
Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."
Sauce: https://tass.com/top-officials/1043741

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege.  He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year.  A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week.  A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.

Watch ECB's Christine Lagarde Explain How Greenwashing central bank Policy Will Save Europe

Having kept rates unchanged and done nothing to signal a slowdown in money-printing malarkey, most investors eyes and ears will be glued to ECB President Lagarde's 'strategic review' and how her new-found focus on virtue-signaling climate change management will affect the European central bank's mandate.

As Bloomberg notes, her efforts to modernize the ECB include potentially resetting the inflation goal of "below, but close to, 2%," studying alternative measures of price growth, and assessing its policy tools. She's benefiting from signs that a deep manufacturing slump in the 19-nation economy is bottoming out before it causes greater harm to the labor market and consumer spending. That should allow policy makers to focus on the review, which will last most of the year and also tackle issues including financial stability, climate change and communication.

The ECB press conference is due to start 0830ET:

Ukrainian corruption has been a global show for how many years?
Now . . . while Russia is, and the US is hoping to, get rid of central banks in order to reclaim our justifiable economies . . .
Ukraine is looking to borrow from the IMF to START their very own central bank?

Could that smell any more like Hillary just walked by?

Ukrainian PM Says $5.5 Billion IMF Deal Can Be Sealed by April

Ukraine can finalize a $5.5 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund in the first quarter, according to the eastern European country's prime minister.

The government reached a staff-level agreement in December that needs sign-off from the Washington-based lender's board following the completion by Ukraine of conditions known as prior actions.

"We don't have any disputes," Oleksiy Honcharuk said Wednesday in an interview on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos. "It's a working process that requires some time."

The government had hoped for preliminary approval of the loan in September, with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy looking to lift economic growth and attract foreign investors who view the IMF as a guarantor market-friendly reforms. But question marks over central-bank independence and legal challenges to the 2016 nationalization of the country's biggest bank have delayed a pact with the fund.

Still on Ukraine's to-do list is passing legislation to protect the state's takeover of Privatbank from its billionaire former owners – a step that could be taken as soon as next month, according to Honcharuk. But after meeting IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva, Honcharuk signaled that lifting a ban on the sale of farmland – a key plank in Zelenskiy's economic overhaul – may not be needed to secure the loan.

"I won't link directly the land reform with the IMF deal," he said. "Land reform is the key reform of the president and the government."

A court revamp and other structural reforms were discussed at the meeting with Georgieva, which Zelenskiy also attended, according to a statement on the presidential website. The government wants to spur economic expansion in the country of 42 million to 5%, compared with this year's "conservative" forecast of 3.7%, Honcharuk said, suggesting an even faster pace is possible in the future. "There would be nothing extraordinary in 7% growth," he said. "Ukraine is now the most interesting emerging market. The most serious and deep reforms are being implemented" here.

Supporting that view, Ukraine this week raised 1.25 billion euros ($1.4 billion) by selling Eurobonds with a record-low yield of 4.375%.

"We're replacing more expensive debt with cheaper" debt, Honcharuk said. "Today's placement will allow our budget to save 2 million hryvnia ($81,600) a day."

Mark Carney hints at need for radical action to boost ailing economies

2012

Mr Carney, the current bank of Canada governor who takes over from Sir Mervyn King next June, said central bankers should consider committing to low interest rates until inflation and unemployment met "precise numerical thresholds", or even changing "the policy framework itself" to stimulate a desperately weak economy.

His words were directed at the bank of Canada but will be seen as a hint that he will push for radical action in the UK, where the economy has been stagnant for two years. On his appointment, he said that he would be going "where the challenges are greatest".

Addressing the Chartered Financial Analyst Society in Toronto, Mr Carney said that in major slumps: "To achieve a better path for the economy over time, a central bank may need to commit credibly to maintaining highly accommodative policy even after the economy and, potentially, inflation picks up.

"To 'tie its hands', a central bank could publicly announce precise numerical thresholds for inflation and unemployment that must be met before reducing stimulus."

He added: "If yet further stimulus were required, the policy framework itself would likely have to be changed. For example, adopting a nominal GDP level target could in many respects be more powerful than employing thresholds under flexible inflation targeting."

ECB Keeps Rates, QE Unchanged; Launches First Strategy Review In 17 Years

As expected, the ECB announced that it is keeping its rates and QE (?20BN/month) unchnaged, reiterating the familiar forward guidance that "interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels until it has seen the inflation outlook robustly converge to a level sufficiently close to, but below, 2%", while QE will continue "for as long as necessary to reinforce the accommodative impact of its policy rates, and to end shortly before it starts raising the key ECB interest rates."

Notably, the Governing Council also announced that it would launch the first review of its monetary policy strategy for the first time since 2003 in a rethink after years of radical monetary stimulus struggled to revive inflation. The institution said it will provide details about the scope and timetable of the exercise in a press release today at 3:30 p.m. Frankfurt time, following Lagarde's press conference.

As Bloomberg notes, her efforts to modernize the ECB include potentially resetting the inflation goal of "below, but close to, 2%," studying alternative measures of price growth, and assessing its policy tools. She's benefiting from signs that a deep manufacturing slump in the 19-nation economy is bottoming out before it causes greater harm to the labor market and consumer spending. That should allow policy makers to focus on the review, which will last most of the year and also tackle issues including financial stability, climate change and communication.

At today's meeting the Governing Council of the European central bank (ECB) decided that the interest rate on the main refinancing operations and the interest rates on the marginal lending facility and the deposit facility will remain unchanged at 0.00%, 0.25% and -0.50% respectively. The Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels until it has seen the inflation outlook robustly converge to a level sufficiently close to, but below, 2% within its projection horizon, and such convergence has been consistently reflected in underlying inflation dynamics.

The Governing Council will continue to make net purchases under its asset purchase programme (APP) at a monthly pace of ?20 billion. The Governing Council expects them to run for as long as necessary to reinforce the accommodative impact of its policy rates, and to end shortly before it starts raising the key ECB interest rates.

The Governing Council intends to continue reinvesting, in full, the principal payments from maturing securities purchased under the APP for an extended period of time past the date when it starts raising the key ECB interest rates, and in any case for as long as necessary to maintain favourable liquidity conditions and an ample degree of monetary accommodation.

The Governing Council also decided to launch a review of the ECB's monetary policy strategy. Further details about the scope and timetable of the review will be published in a press release today at 15:30 CET.

The President of the ECB will comment on the considerations underlying these decisions at a press conference starting at 14:30 CET today.

Khazarians Kicked Out of Russia

1-20-2020 Ben Fulford:

Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us. 

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:
"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order.  It will be very painful."
https://tass.com/top-officials/1043741

The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized.

Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege.  He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year.  A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week.  A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.

Angola's dos Santos named suspect over alleged fraud, selling Eurobic stake

Angola's billionaire former first daughter, Isabel dos Santos, has decided to sell her stake in Portuguese bank Eurobic, the small lender said on Wednesday. It made the announcement soon after Portuguese news agency Lusa reported that Angolan prosecutors had named dos Santos as a formal suspect over alleged mismanagement and misappropriation of funds while she was chairwoman of state oil firm Sonangol.

Lusa quoted Angola's attorney general, Helder Pitta Gros, as telling a news conference in the Angolan capital Luanda that dos Santos had not directly shown any interest in collaborating with Angolan authorities.

Dos Santos, who was chairwoman of Sonangol from June 2016 to November 2017 and amassed her fortune during her father Jose Eduardo dos Santos' decades-long presidency, could not immediately be reached for comment but has denied wrongdoing.

Isabel dos Santos is Eurobic's main shareholder but the bank said she had decided to withdraw from the bank's shareholding structure and sell her stake.

In a statement sent to Reuters, Eurobic said the selling process of the 42.5% stake had already started and dos Santos' decision was "final".

It said her exit would take place "as soon as possible", and that bank of Portugal, the central bank, had been informed of the decision.

Hundreds of thousands of files about dos Santos that were obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) were released by several news organizations on Sunday. The media reports focused on alleged financial schemes used by dos Santos to build her business empire, including transfers between Angola and Dubai.

On Monday, bank of Portugal said in a statement it had asked Eurobic about transfers between Angola and Dubai and Portugal's prosecutor's office said it would investigate the media reports. Dos Santos said on Sunday that allegations made against her were "completely unfounded".

Angolan authorities froze dos Santos' assets in the African country in late December following allegations by prosecutors that she and her husband Sindika Dokolo had steered payments of more than $1 billion from state companies Sonangol and Sodiam to firms in which they held stakes. Dos Santos and Dokolo denied wrongdoing.

I can't believe it but they did it. They scrubbed the News of Putin firing the Director & Governors of the Russian central bank then nationalizing it.

I was literally reading articles about it 2 days ago from several sources. Wow.

I'm not sure what that says but I found some other central bank stories. Bottom line - central banks are being strangled world wide and are starting to crumble. Governments are taking back their monetary policy control…

"The FSB sources also report that when Elvira Nabiullina, the head of the Russian central bank, was fired last week, all cellphones of central bank employees were confiscated and a huge stash of documents was seized."

We don't have proof that Elvira Nabiullina was fired. It's only this guy that's saying this. I suspect that if it was true, there would be more than this guy saying it.

>What if we no longer had a central bank and no longer owed them 23 Trillion $?
A PUBLIC central bank can issue currency from the treasury.
Currency is different than money, it's not a debt instrument. Currency does not have to be "backed" by any commodity (which leaves it open to manipulation by certain people who control the commodity), it's backed by the productive power of the people of the State.This is why Germany's economy soared while the rest of the world went into the Great Depression.
PRIVATE central banks are separate from the gov't and charge the gov't just to print up their debt notes. The US gov has to pay the FED something like $1.20 for each 1 dollar FRN!!
IF we have a public central bank, we can cancel the debt to the FED, which is the vast majority of the debt of the US government!

I'm watching the impeachment show just because it's historic, but don't make the mistake that people can't watch and do other things at the same time. High-functioning autists can multi-task. :)

Khazarians Kicked Out of Russia

Basically, David Rothschild was kicked out and the Russian central bank was nationalized, which is why half the government was fired, FSB sources tell us.

Here's what our FSB sources have to say on the subject:
"It was supposed to start back in November 2019 when Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev was killed at FSB headquarters, but due to the presence in the country of a huge number of the richest Jews in the world (the Rothschilds, Sheldon Adelson, etc.), this operation was postponed".

On January 18th, Gref told Tass News, "We should brace for the collapse of the existing world order. It will be very painful."

https://tass.com/top-officials/1043741

Rothschild-slave President Emmanuel Macron of France is also under siege. He was forced to flee for his life from a theater last week amid rioting that has gone on now for over a year. A new French revolution is coming, French resistance sources promise.

Equally dramatic, if less public, events were going on in Japan last week. A first cousin of former Emperor Hirohito tells us the bank of Japan has been nationalized and the Rothschilds as well as the Rockefellers have been removed from control of this country.

Global central banks Fueling a Ponzi Market

Ultimately, investors will awaken to the rising tide of defaults and downgrades

One of the topics that I am focused on in Davos is the deterioration in the quality of the corporate bond markets.

The disturbing trend is that despite the rally in risk assets in the prior year, the number of defaults rose by approximately 50 percent, according to data compiled by J.P. Morgan. Additionally, the number of distressed exchanges increased by 400 percent.

This correlates well with our observation that the number of idiosyncratic defaults has been increasing. Ultimately, markets will need to reprice for this rising risk with increased bond spreads relative to Treasury securities. However, that day of reckoning when spreads rise is being held off by the flood of central bank liquidity and international investors fleeing negative yields overseas.

And let's not forget downgrade risk of BBBs: today 50 percent of the investment-grade market is rated BBB, and in 2007 it was 35 percent. More specifically, about 8 percent of the investment-grade market was BBB- in 2007 and today it is 15 percent. It has more than quintupled in size outstanding, from $800 billion to $3.3 trillion. We expect 15-20 percent of BBBs to get downgraded to high yield in the next downgrade wave: This would equate to $500-660 billion and be the largest fallen angel volume on record-and would also swamp the high yield market.

Ultimately, we will reach a tipping point when investors will awaken to the rising tide of defaults and downgrades. The timing is hard to predict but this reminds me a lot of the lead-up to the 2001 and 2002 recession.

The prolonged period of tight credit spreads experienced in the late 1990s lulled investors into unwittingly increasing risk at a time they should have been upgrading their portfolios.

This brings to mind the famous observation by economist Hyman Minsky, who stated that stability is inherently destabilizing. That is to say that long periods of relative stability in risk assets causes investors to keep upping the risk during a long period of calm.

Ultimately, this leads to what he called a Ponzi Market where the only reason investors keep adding to risk is the fear that prices will be higher tomorrow (or in the case of bonds, yields will be lower tomorrow).

Daniel Kahneman observed this behavior in his own work, when he identified that investors' fear of missing an opportunity induces them to buy when they should be selling.

Even though the recession clearly has been put off until 2021 and perhaps 2022, in the lead-up to the 2001 recession, credit deterioration started to be evidenced three years earlier in 1998 as defaults and credit spreads were rising.

This would sound like good news for yield starved investors and I would agree.

But patience will lead to bigger opportunities for disciplined investors who don't wander off into exotic asset classes or chase current returns.

The Fed Is Stuck In QE Hell

Imagine doing the same thing over and over again, with little progress and no relief. Sounds like most people's vision of hell - or the Federal Reserve's current predicament.

Since September, the central bank, through the Federal Reserve bank of New York, has been purchasing securities hand over fist to alleviate short-term pressures in the overnight money markets. It has used repurchase ("repo") and reverse repurchase ("reverse repo") agreements to provide liquidity and keep overnight borrowing rates from spiking.

But these complex money market operations already have caused the Fed to buy a net $400 billion worth of securities, after Chairman Jerome Powell shrank the Fed's balance sheet by $700 billion. That "normalization," which also included raising the federal funds rate through late 2018, is now effectively dead and the Fed's balance sheet is growing again.

Powell and the Fed have repeatedly denied this is a new phase of "quantitative easing (QE)," three rounds of which added $3.6 trillion to the Fed's balance sheet in the years after the financial crisis. And indeed, in the earlier rounds of QE, the central bank bought Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities of various maturities. The current buying has been focused on Treasuries with maturities of 12 months or less.
On the way: QE4

But that may not continue, says Danielle DiMartino Booth, CEO and chief strategist at Quill Intelligence, a Dallas-based boutique research firm. Booth, who worked on both Wall Street and in the Federal Reserve bank of Dallas, has been a critic of Fed policies since the central bank pushed fed funds down to near zero and launched its three rounds of QE after the financial crisis. (She also was one of the few people to connect the dots between the housing bust and Wall Street before the crisis hit.)

Reserve (Rothschild) bank Australia

RBA told to 'mobilise all forces' to save the economy from climate change

The Reserve bank has been warned it may have to buy up coal mines and fossil-fuel power stations as part of extraordinary actions to save the economy from climate change-induced financial disaster.

As Australian business leaders grow increasingly worried climate change will hit their bottom lines and the International Monetary Fund warns global warming is now a major financial risk, a new warning issued by the world's top central bank says the RBA could be forced into rescuing the economy and the environment.

Three separate reports released on the same day, coinciding with Australia's worst bushfire season and ongoing political division over environmental policy, point to increasing fears among economic policy leaders that climate change could cause the next global financial breakdown.

The bank for International Settlements, which acts as the central bank to the world's central banks, overnight told its members they had to start incorporating climate change into their thinking about the stability of the economy.

"They're starting to understand that a new form of capitalism is emerging, one that considers a broader group of stakeholders and measures societal impact alongside financial performance," the report found.

Up to 89 per cent of the 150 Australian executives surveyed viewed climate change and environmental sustainability as the "societal issue of greatest focus," compared to 54 per cent world-wide.

More than 80 per cent, half of whom were aged between 45 and 54, viewed it as their generation's responsibility to solve. The same amount believed it would have a "negative impact on business operations".

How the US Wages War to Prop up the Dollar

At Counterpunch, Michael Hudson has penned an important article that outlines the important connections between US foreign policy, oil, and the US dollar.

In short, US foreign policy is geared very much toward controlling oil resources as part of a larger strategy to prop up the US dollar. Hudson writes:

The assassination was intended to escalate America's presence in Iraq to keep control of the region's oil reserves, and to back Saudi Arabia's Wahabi troops (Isis, Al Quaeda in Iraq, Al Nusra and other divisions of what are actually America's foreign legion) to support U.S. control of Near Eastern oil as a buttress of the U.S. dollar. That remains the key to understanding this policy, and why it is in the process of escalating, not dying down.

The actual context for the neocon's action was the balance of payments, and the role of oil and energy as a long-term lever of American diplomacy.

Basically, the US's propensity for driving up massive budget deficits has created a need for immense amounts of deficit spending. This can be handled through selling lots of government debt, or through monetizing the debt. But what if there isn't enough global demand for US debt? That would mean the US would have to pay more interest on its debt. Or, the US could monetize the debt through the central bank. But that might cause the value of the dollar to crash. So, the US regime realized that it must find ways to prevent the glut of dollars and debt from actually destroying the value of the dollar. Fortunately for the regime, this can be partly managed, it turns out, through foreign policy. Hudson continues:

The solution [to the problem of maintaining the demand for dollars] turned out to be to replace gold with U.S. Treasury securities (IOUs) as the basis of foreign central bank reserves. After 1971, foreign central banks had little option for what to do with their continuing dollar inflows except to recycle them to the U.S. economy by buying U.S. Treasury securities. The effect of U.S. foreign military spending thus did not undercut the dollar's exchange rate, and did not even force the Treasury and Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to attract foreign exchange to offset the dollar outflows on military account. In fact, U.S. foreign military spending helped finance the domestic U.S. federal budget deficit.

944 Trillion Reasons Why The Fed Is Quietly Bailing Out Hedge Funds

On Friday, Minneapolis Fed president Neel Kashkari, who just two months earlier made a stunning proposal when he said that it was time for the Fed to pick up where the USSR left off and start redistributing wealth (at least Kashkari chose the proper entity: since the Fed has launched central planning across US capital markets, it would also be proper in the banana republic that the US has become, that the same Fed also decides who gets how much and the entire free democracy/free enterprise/free market farce be skipped altogether) issued a challenge to "QE conspiracists" which apparently now also includes his FOMC colleague (and former Goldman Sachs co-worker), Robert Kaplan, in which he said "QE conspiracists can say this is all about balance sheet growth. Someone explain how swapping one short term risk free instrument (reserves) for another short term risk free instrument (t-bills) leads to equity repricing. I don't see it."

To the delight of Kashkari, who this year gets to vote and decide the future of US monetary policy yet is completely unaware of how the plumbing underneath US capital markets actually works, we did so for his benefit on Friday, although we certainly did not have to: after all, the "central banks' central bank", the bank for International Settlements, did a far better job than we ever could in its December 8 report, "September stress in dollar repo markets: passing or structural?", which explained not just why the September repo disaster took place on the supply side (i.e., the sudden, JPMorgan-mediated liquidity shortage at the "top 4" commercial banks which prevented them from lending into the rep o market)…

1913!
A demonrat House, demonrat Senate and demonrat president (not deserving of a capital p) committed outright treason, violated the American Constitution, allowing the setting up of a foreign pond-scum central bank and giving control over the American currency - a control given by the Founding Fathers to ONLY the elected government - to those same foreign scumbags and turning 100's of millions of Americans - Generations! - into debt slaves to globalist pigs who feel it is their right to control all the money in the world and if people in any country want to use their own currency…they can borrow off the scum at interest.

Americans must never forget the last 113 years of slavery of ALL Americans orchestrated and implemented by the treasonous demonrat party!

ALL AMERICANS must keep this uppermost in mind - demonrats have always been slave owners. demonrats owned ALL slaves, demonrats created the kkk, demonrats voted against ending slavery, demonrats voted against allowing their slaves to vote, the demonrats voted against giving female slaves the right to vote, or be equal.

Anyone in America, ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who thinks the demonrat slave-owners should be voted for is NOT American!

Political dispute over Ukrainian central bank intensifies

The National bank of Ukraine has been implicated in another political dispute seemingly linked to its attempts to clean up the country's banking sector.

The NBU released its strategic plan for the coming year on January 16, saying that one of its major priorities was the "improvement of interactions with the government of Ukraine".

Libyan Oil Exports Blocked Ahead of Berlin Peace Conference


Libya declares Force Majeure as output cut by 800,000 barrels. Germany hosting conference aimed at ending country's civil war.

Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar blocked oil exports at ports under his control, slashing output by more than half and posing a potential setback for an international conference on Sunday that aims to broker an end to a civil war in the OPEC nation.

As a result of the blockage of ports in the central and eastern parts of the country, oil output will fall by about 800,000 barrels a day, costing $55 million daily, the National Oil Corp. said in a statement on Saturday. The NOC declared Force Majeure, which can allow Libya, which holds Africa's largest-proven oil reserves, to legally suspend delivery contracts. The show of force comes as Haftar prepares to attend an international conference in Berlin hosted by German Chancellor Angela Merkel where the general will face pressure to agree to a cease-fire. Haftar, whose troops have been bogged down in the southern suburbs of the capital of Tripoli, has so far refused efforts to end his offensive and agree to a compromise. The ports closure is an attempt by Haftar to condition the negotiations in Berlin," said Arturo Varvelli, head of the Rome office and a senior policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations. "It could be counterproductive as it could make the Europeans, who are the largest consumers of Libyan oil, very upset."

By shutting down the oil fields, Haftar is denying a key source of revenue to the internationally elected government of Prime Minister Fayez al-Sarraj. Funds from oil production go the country's central bank and have been used by Tripoli to buy weapons for its defense.

An earlier round of peace talks held in Russia this week broke down after Haftar rejected a proposed truce agreement that had already been signed by Sarraj. The commander abandoned Moscow early Tuesday after refusing to stamp the deal that had been brokered by Russia and Turkey, which supports Sarraj's government. Russian mercenaries back Haftar's forces, as do Egypt and the United Arab Emirates. Former colonial power Italy also has a military training mission numbering several hundred troops in the country. Turkish soldiers are training forces loyal to Sarraj, and Turkish-backed Syrian rebels have also joined the fray.

Russia and Turkey, which have assumed increasingly assertive roles in the Libyan conflict as they jockey for influence in the Mediterranean, brought Libya's feuding leaders to the talks after concluding their intervention in the country was too costly.

Haftar will face additional pressure at the Berlin conference. Apart from Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish Leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan, French President Emmanuel Macron, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and U.S. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo will also be on hand.

POTUS' Fed pick Judy Shelton faces obstacles to confirmation

The White House said this week that President Trump intends to nominate economists Judy Shelton and Christopher Waller to Fed governorships. While Waller is likely to face easy confirmation, Shelton's prospects are less clear.
One question she will have to clear is residency. Two governors cannot come from the same district.
Speculation also has swirled over whether Shelton may be Trump's pick for chair after Jerome Powell's term expires.
that is the sole reason for nominating her imo.

President Donald Trump's intention to nominate economist Judy Shelton to the Federal Reserve comes with two pressing questions - whether she could be a future chair at the central bank, and if she even will be able to serve if confirmed.

The first is largely a political question and would only come into play if Trump continues to be dissatisfied with Chairman Jerome Powell and chooses not to renominate him when his term expires in 2022.

The second, though, is a sticky legal question and centers around a provision in the Federal Reserve Act that prohibits two governors from the same district. Governor Lael Brainard hails from the same Richmond region, though it's not clear that there wouldn't be a way around the rule. In an announcement Wednesday, the White House said Trump plans on sending Shelton's name to the Senate, along with that of fellow economist Christopher Waller of Missouri, whose nomination is expected to face few obstacles.

Selgin pointed specifically to former governors Elizabeth Duke (2008-12) and Sarah Raskin (2010-14), both of whom also were from the Richmond district, which encompasses Washington, D.C.

A Fed spokesman referred the issue to the White House, which declined comment. Shelton did not respond to a request for comment.

The Federal Reserve Act states that "In selecting the members of the Board, not more than one of whom shall be selected from any one Federal Reserve district, the President shall have due regard to a fair representation of the financial, agricultural, industrial, and commercial interests, and geographical divisions of the country." One strategy that could be employed is if Shelton had a residence elsewhere. A White House release Wednesday stated that she is from Virginia, though she could be named to represent another district.

On the political issue, speculation has been growing that Shelton would be a strong contender for the chair position should Trump not renominate Powell. The president has been a fierce critic of Powell for the chairman's lead in raising interest rates four times in 2018 and for rolling back the trillions of dollars in asset purchases instituted by his predecessors.

Shelton's record on interest rates is somewhat complicated - she has criticized both the near-zero rates instituted during and for several years after the financial crisis, and the more recent moves to raise rates. Trump has pushed the Fed to cut rates and even urged the central bank to look at the negative rates pervasive in parts of Europe. Shelton also has spoken in favor of returning to the gold standard that backs the issuance of U.S. dollars, and opposes the practice of paying interest on reserves that banks store at the Fed.

As part of its vital national security mission, the U.S. Treasury Department issues subpoenas to the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) - a Belgium-based company with U.S. offices that operates a worldwide messaging system used to transmit financial transaction information - seeking information on suspected international terrorists or their networks. Under the terms of the subpoenas, the U.S. Government may only review information as part of specific terrorism investigations.


At the end of 2009 SWIFT stopped storing certain sets of these critical data on its U.S. servers and hosts those data in the European Union. The United States negotiated an agreement with the European Union on the processing and transfer of this information to the U.S. Treasury Department. The Agreement became effective on August 1, 2010.


Based on information that identifies an individual or entity, the U.S. Government is able to conduct targeted searches against the limited subset of records provided by SWIFT in order to trace financial transactions related to suspected terrorist activity.


SWIFT information greatly enhances our ability to map out terrorist networks, often filling in missing links in an investigative chain. The U.S. Government acts on this information - and, for counter-terrorism purposes only, shares leads generated by the TFTP with relevant governments' counter-terrorism authorities - to target and disrupt the activities of terrorists and their supporters.


By following the money, the TFTP has allowed the U.S. and our allies to identify and locate operatives and their financiers, chart terrorist networks, and help keep money out of their hands.

SWIFT is overseen by a committee drawn from major central banks - including the U.S. Federal Reserve, the bank of England, the European central bank, the bank of Japan, and the lead overseer, the National bank of Belgium. The overseers have been informed about SWIFT's participation in Treasury's TFTP efforts and the safeguards and assurances put in place.

Fed Plans Shift From Writing Rules to Watching How banks Behave

Vice Chairman Quarles outlines changes in industry supervision

The Federal Reserve is shifting its focus from writing and revising rules aimed at limiting risk in the banking system to a concentration on how lenders interpret the restrictions, the agency's supervision chief said Friday.

Having finished the bulk of its work on major rules, the Fed can now devote more attention to behind-the-scenes interactions between bankers and their government overseers, Vice Chairman Randal Quarles said at a meeting of industry lawyers in Washington. He said the central bank will be more transparent about its supervisory work, sharing guidance documents with Congress and seeking public comment on them as it does with new rules.

"Supervisors promote good risk management and thus help banks preemptively avert excessive risk-taking that would be costly and inefficient to correct after the fact," Quarles said. "Where banks fall materially out of compliance with a regulatory framework or act in a manner that poses a threat to their safety and soundness, supervisors can act rapidly to address the failures."

Financial-industry regulators appointed by President Donald Trump have overhauled restrictions put in place after the 2008 credit crisis, and they've blunted the sting of some strictures that Wall Street hated most. The Fed last year completed some of those items and finished a major project to tailor regulations to banks based on their size, complexity and business models.

Quarles said the new emphasis on supervision and the proposed incremental changes are meant to "increase transparency, accountability and fairness" without jeopardizing the strength of the financial system.

In another potential change, he said the Fed could also clarify how banks are added to list of complex institutions overseen by the Large Institution Supervision Coordinating Committee. That's meaningful because those dozen lenders including JPMorgan Chase & Co., bank of America Corp., Deutsche bank AG and Credit Suisse Group AG are compared with their peers when evaluated by supervisors. Quarles said he wants to move the four foreign banks – Deutsche bank, Credit Suisse, UBS Group AG and Barclays bank Plc – to a lower category.

He also said he favors codifying the Fed's assurances that it won't treat guidance – such as the 2013 directives on leveraged lending – as enforceable rules.

The vice chairman said the Fed intends to be clearer with the banks about what it wants and why, opening more two-way communication with the industry. His agency has earned a reputation for opacity, rarely revealing its evaluation methods or sharing specifics about its expectations, but Quarles' tenure has been marked by a relaxation of the secrecy around the stress tests introduced after the 2008 meltdown to ensure the banks can weather another crisis.

Quarles didn't address the status of some pending rules. The Fed is still working with other agencies on a new proposal to govern Volcker Rule limits on banks' investments, and it's also completing work on significant measures dealing with bank liquidity and leverage.

Venezuela Cash Hoard Sinks Below $1 Billion With Gold Locked Up


-Total reserves at a three-decade low of just $6.61 billion. Limited liquid reserves may bode ill for food, medical imports.

Venezuela's international reserves, already at a 30-year low, have hit a grim new milestone as cash holdings fall below $1 billion amid crippling economic sanctions.

Venezuela's central bank now has only about $800 million left in cash and an additional $200 million of other liquid assets, according to three people with knowledge of the bank's balance sheet. While the country holds some 73 tons of gold in local vaults, selling it has become increasingly difficult amid the U.S. efforts to cut off Nicolas Maduro's regime from a global network of buyers, banks and middlemen. The shrinking coffers mark a new low for Venezuela, where an economic crisis rooted in the collapse of its all-important oil industry has been exacerbated by wide-reaching U.S. sanctions that have cut the nation off from international capital markets. A shortage of cash could threaten the Maduro regime's ability to continue food subsidy programs, import basic goods and maintain support from top military officials.

Press officials for Venezuela's central bank didn't respond to requests for comment. A significant chunk of Venezuela's gold, 32 tons worth about $1.6 billion, remains in London after the bank of England declined multiple requests from Maduro to repatriate the gold. While the central bank is independent, the U.K. government doesn't recognize Maduro as the country's legitimate leader and says his regime shouldn't have access to overseas assets. Total reserves fell by $832 million this month to $6.11 billion, the lowest since July 1989. The drop is largely due to cuts in cash holdings of Chinese yuan, one of the people said.

The reserves also include about $400 million of special drawing rights that are hung up at the International Monetary Fund, which has also shut Venezuela out. The country had already whittled down its SDR holdings from almost $1 billion in March 2018.

Opposition leader Juan Guaido has been recognized by more than 50 nations as Venezuela's rightful president since early 2019, and the sanctions that have cut Maduro off from the global financial system are part of efforts to oust his administration.

Trump Nominates Chris Waller, Judy Shelton To Fill Fed Vacancies

President Trump intends to nominate Christopher Waller and Judy Shelton to fill the two vacant posts on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, according to a White House memo released to the press Thursday evening.

Both have been rumored to be candidates for the two open seats, with rumors about Shelton's candidacy inspiring an intense discussion over her reputation as a "gold bug" and opponent of liberal central bank monetary policies. In the past, she has advocated a return to the gold standard. She currently serves as the US director for the European bank of Reconstruction and Development.

Capitalism in America: How a Dismal Decimal is Robbing Americans Blind

There is no hiding anymore, the United States has become an oligarch owned banana republic with nukes, and with a monopoly currency which has allowed it to rig the markets for half a century. But now we are only a couple of hours from curtain - Midnight in America.

With the stock market at all-time highs, virtually no unemployment (or so they say), and brisk GDP growth (supposedly) in the last decade, economic analysts would declare that the US economy is in excellent shape. But, it isn't. The stock market is a central bank inflated asset bubble, and what GDP growth there has been, is an illusion brought about by the very same financial bubble and by pumping the economy up with record federal borrowings to finance the deficits that America cannot afford. Rigged statistics showing artificially low inflation serve to hold together the Trumped-up American economic narrative. (About the rigged inflation statistics, see this report https://www.awaragroup.com/blog/the-inflation-measurement-scam/?fbclid=IwAR0qmpe4i0sp5Uce9UlyEDt0_NkIv-aiDTSgvzHh5EMfZn5WQboZz_mB-XU). And the low unemployment figure is nothing but a chimera based on misleading statistics.

In reality, the US economy is failing - and the country with it. At least two-thirds of the population has seen dramatic declines in living standards and half are back to levels of developing nations - without the development.

The big story covered up by all the happy macroeconomic figures repeated by rote by the US establishment - everybody from the president to cable television pundits and Trump fanboys - is the gradual impoverishment of the American worker. That's an inconvenient truth increasingly difficult to hide as the American dream has turned into a nightmare for huge swathes of the population. As the figures we present below show, the rich are really getting richer, the middle class has been decimated, and half of Americans are poor and destitute of any financial wealth. The super-rich are gobbling up an ever-increasing slice of the American pie at the cost of all the rest who get nothing but table scraps on one side and leftover crumbs on the other, if anything. The resulting stratification of society has brought back a medieval servant economy, where the have-nots are doing odd jobs, cleaning houses, fetching groceries, running errands and deliveries for the feudal rich and the remaining shrinking middle class.

Thanks to the Fed (the American oligarch owned central bank) pushing easy money into the hands of the privileged elite, the super-rich Dismal Decimal - the top 0.1% - have by now amassed as much wealth as they had just before the Great Depression that started with the stock market crash in 1929. A lesson not learned. Back to square one. How will it end this time?

This article is based on an Awara Accounting https://www.awaragroup.com/ study titled "Widening Income and Wealth Gap and Stagnating Wages in America." https://www.awaragroup.com/blog/widening-income-and-wealth-gap-and-stagnating-wages-in-america/ Links and source references to all the facts presented here can be found in said study.

BTW all the data in this report is derived from official US government sources and American experts analyzing them.

During the last decades, the financial rewards from the rigged markets first flew exclusively into the pockets of Top 10%, but later it was increasingly Top 1%, which pocketed most, perfectly illustrated by below charts.

1. The income of Top 1% has grown five times as fast as that of Bottom 90% income since 1970, who now earn double the amount of income than 160 million poor of the lower 50% stratum.

Q: Who owns the stock of the Federal Reserve banks?

A: The dynastic families of the ruling World Order, internationalists who are loyal to no race, religion, or nation. They are families such as the Rothschilds, the Warburgs, the Schiffs, the Rockefellers, the Harrimans, the Morgans and others known as the elite, or "the big rich".

Q: Can I buy this stock?

A: No. The Federal Reserve Act stipulates that the stock of the Federal Reserve banks cannot be bought or sold on any stock exchange. It is passed on by inheritance as the fortune of the "big rich". Almost half of the owners of Federal Reserve bank stock are not Americans.

Q: Is the Internal Revenue Service a governmental agency?

A: Although listed as part of the Treasury Department, the IRS is actually a private collection agency for the Federal Reserve System. It originated as the Black Hand in mediaeval Italy, collectors of debt by force and extortion for the ruling Italian mob families. All personal income taxes collected by the IRS are required by law to be deposited in the nearest Federal Reserve bank, under Sec. 15 of the Federal Reserve Act, "The moneys held in the general fund of the Treasury may be ….deposited in Federal reserve banks, which banks, when required by the Secretary of the Treasury, shall act as fiscal agents of the United States."

Q: Does the Federal Reserve Board control the daily price and quantity of money?

A: The Federal Reserve Board of Governors, meeting in private as the Federal Open Market Committee with presidents of the Federal Reserve banks, controls all economic activity throughout the United States by issuing orders to buy government bonds on the open market, creating money out of nothing and causing inflationary pressure, or, conversely, by selling government bonds on the open market and extinguishing debt, creating deflationary pressure and causing the stock market to drop.

Q: Can Congress abolish the Federal Reserve System?

A: The last provision of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, Sec. 30, states, "The right to amend, alter or repeal this Act is expressly reserved." This language means that Congress can at any time move to abolish the Federal Reserve System, or buy back the stock and make it part of the Treasury Department, or to altar the System as it sees fit. It has never done so.

Q: Are there many critics of the Federal Reserve beside yourself?

A: When I began my researches in 1948, the Fed was only thirty-four years old. It was never mentioned in the press. Today the Fed is discussed openly in the news section and the financial pages. There are bills in congress to have the Fed audited by the Government Accounting Office. Because of my expose, it is no longer a sacred cow, although the Big Three candidates for President in 1992, Bush, Clinton and Perot, joined in a unanimous chorus during the debates that they were pledged not to touch the Fed.

Q: Have you suffered any personal consequences because of your expose of the Fed?

A: I was fired from the staff of the Library of Congress after I published this expose in 1952, the only person ever discharged from the staff for political reasons. When I sued, the court refused to hear the case. The entire German edition of this book was burned in 1955, the only book burned in Europe since the Second World War. I have endured continuous harassment by government agencies, as detailed in my books "A WRIT FOR MARTYRS" and "MY LIFE IN CHRIST". My family also suffered harassment. When I spoke recently in Wembley Arena in London, the press denounced me as "a sinister lunatic".

Q: Does the press always support the Fed?

A: There have been some encouraging defections in recent months. A front page story in the Wall Street Journal, Feb. 8, 1993, stated, "The current Fed structure is difficult to justify in a democracy. It? an oddly undemocratic institution. Its organization is so dated that there is only one Reserve bank west of the Rockies, and two in Missouri…Having a central bank with a monopoly over the issuance of the currency in a democratic society is a very difficult balancing act."

Questions and Answers [SECRETS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE By Eustace Mullins]

While lecturing in many countries, and appearing on radio and television programs as a guest, the author is frequently asked questions about the Federal Reserve System. The most frequently asked questions and the answers are as follows:

Q: What is the Federal Reserve System?

A: The Federal Reserve System is not Federal; it has no reserves; and it is not a system, but rather, a criminal syndicate. It is the product of criminal syndicalist activity of an international consortium of dynastic families comprising what the author terms "The World Order" (see "THE WORLD ORDER" and "THE CURSE OF CANAAN", both by Eustace Mullins). The Federal Reserve system is a central bank operating in the United States. Although the student will find no such definition of a central bank in the textbooks of any university, the author has defined a central bank as follows: It is the dominant financial power of the country which harbors it. It is entirely private-owned, although it seeks to give the appearance of a governmental institution. It has the right to print and issue money, the traditional prerogative of monarchs. It is set up to provide financing for wars. It functions as a money monopoly having total power over all the money and credit of the people.

Q: When Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act on December 23, 1913, did the Congressmen know that they were creating a central bank?

A: The members of the 63rd Congress had no knowledge of a central bank or of its monopolistic operations. Many of those who voted for the bill were duped; others were bribed; others were intimidated. The preface to the Federal Reserve Act reads "An Act to provide for the establishment of Federal reserve banks, to furnish an elastic currency, to afford means of rediscounting commercial papers, to establish a more effective supervision of banking in the United States, and for other purposes." The unspecified "other purposes" were to give international conspirators a monopoly of all the money and credit of the people of the United States; to finance World War I through this new central bank, to place American workers at the mercy of the Federal Reserve system? collection agency, the Internal Revenue Service, and to allow the monopolists to seize the assets of their competitors and put them out of business.

Q: Is the Federal Reserve system a government agency?

A: Even the present chairman of the House banking Committee claims that the Federal Reserve is a government agency, and that it is not privately owned. The fact is that the government has never owned a single share of Federal Reserve bank stock. This charade stems from the fact that the President of the United States appoints the Governors of the Federal Reserve Board, who are then confirmed by the Senate. The secret author of the Act, banker Paul Warburg, a representative of the Rothschild bank, coined the name "Federal" from thin air for the Act, which he wrote to achieve two of his pet aspirations, an "elastic currency", read (rubber check), and to facilitate trading in acceptances, international trade credits. Warburg was founder and president of the International Acceptance Corporation, and made billions in profits by trading in this commercial paper. Sec. 7 of the Federal Reserve Act provides "Federal reserve banks, including the capital and surplus therein, and income derived therefrom, shall be exempt from Federal, state and local taxation, except taxes on real estate." Government buildings do not pay real estate tax.

Q: Are our dollar bills, which carry the label "Federal Reserve notes" government money?

A: Federal Reserve notes are actually promissory notes, promises to pay, rather than what we traditionally consider money. They are interest bearing notes issued against interest bearing government bonds, paper issued with nothing but paper backing, which is known as fiat money, because it has only the fiat of the issuer to guarantee these notes. The Federal Reserve Act authorizes the issuance of these notes "for the purposes of making advances to Federal reserve banks… The said notes shall be obligations of the United States. They shall be redeemed in gold on demand at the Treasury Department of the United States in the District of Columbia." Tourists visiting the Bureau of Printing and Engraving on the Mall in Washington, D.C. view the printing of Federal Reserve notes at this governmental agency on contract from the Federal Reserve System for the nominal sum of .00260 each in units of 1,000, at the same price regardless of the denomination. These notes, printed for a private bank, then become liabilities and obligations of the United States government and are added to our present $4 trillion debt. The government had no debt when the Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913.

Tesla investors are convinced that fundamentals are driving the stock higher, but that might not be the case, as central bank liquidity has been pouring into anything with a CUSIP.

The company has lost money over the last 12 months, and to be fair, Elon Musk reported one quarter that turned a profit, but overall - Tesla is a blackhole. Its market capitalization is larger than Ford and General Motors put together. When you listen to Tesla investors, near-term profitability isn't important because if it were, the stock would be much lower.

The Wall Street Journal notes that in the past 12 months, 40% of all US-listed companies were losing money, the highest level since the late 1990s - or a period also referred to as the Dot Com bubble.

Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida, provided The Journal with a chart that shows the percentage of money-losing IPOs hit 81% in 2018, the same level that was also seen in 2000.

Turkey Deploys 2000 al Qaeda Militants to Libya to Fight Haftar

Turkey and the Tripoli regime claim "it ain't so," bit it is. Turkey is shipping terrorists by the thousands to Libya to free that nation from what looks like a CIA backed coup.

In fact, every faction inside Libya is backed by a different American Deep State capo. That's what gangsters are like it seems.

The US backed Tripoli government, and Trump is backing Haftar and his army of Russian mercenaries fighting the US backed government (no, you can't make stuff like this up) has "rented" thus far 2000 al Qaeda jihadists who had previously been fighting with and against ISIS, the US, Syria, Russia but always aligned to either Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Israel, one, two or all three, depending on what day of the week it is.

The terrorist jihadists are being paid $2000 a month, more than 4 times what they were receiving from Saudi Arabia and Israel while working with the White Helmets to murder Syrian civilians and will now, undoubtedly, gain a foothold for ISIS and al Qaeda inside Libya as they had in both Syria and Iraq.

The Erdogan regime has promised all the jihadists Turkish citizenship when they are finished in Libya.

Guardian: Turkey or will arrive imminently to fight on the battlefields of Libya, Syrian sources in all three countries have said, in an unprecedented development that threatens to further complicate the north African state's intractable civil war.

The deployment came after Turkey agreed last month to come to the aid of the Libyan prime minister, Fayez al-Sarraj, who is backed by the UN, in the face of a months-long campaign by his rival, the warlord Khalifa Haftar.

Ankara has supported the Syrian opposition since the early days of the battle against the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, even as the original Free Syrian Army umbrella group grew weak and splintered because of infighting and the growth of Islamist elements within rebel ranks. (understatement) Turkey now uses some rebel fighters as proxies against Kurdish-led forces despite allegations of human rights abuses from watchdogs."

Tripoli is supported by the US, part of it at least and a number of VT personnel as well who run the central bank among other things while Haftar is a fascinating guy, longtime CIA asset, an American citizen, supposedly supported by Russia, France and the UAE.

A month ago, 3000 Sudanese joined Haftar's forces though Sudan is nominally controlled by Washington.

If you know less, or perhaps nothing, after reading this, then you understand totally.

U.S. producer prices nudge up as inflation remains benign

U.S. producer prices edged up in December as a rise in the cost of goods was offset by weakness in services, the latest indication of tame inflation pressures that could allow the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged this year. The report from the Labor Department on Wednesday came in the wake of data on Tuesday showing a small rise in consumer prices in December. Inflation has remained tame even as the unemployment rate has dropped to near a 50-year low and the longest economic expansion on record entered its 11th year.

"There is still little sign of any significant rise in price pressures at the start of the inflation pipeline, underlining our view that the Fed will keep interest rates on hold for the foreseeable future," said Andrew Hunter, a senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics in London.

The producer price index for final demand ticked up 0.1% last month after being unchanged in November, the government said. In the 12 months through December, the PPI increased 1.3% after gaining 1.1% in November.

For all of 2019, the PPI rose 1.3%. That was the smallest gain since 2015 and followed a 2.6% increase in 2018.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the PPI climbing 0.2% in December and advancing 1.3% on a year-on-year basis.

Excluding the volatile food, energy and trade services components, producer prices also nudged up 0.1% in December after being unchanged in November. The so-called core PPI rose 1.5% in the 12 months through December after gaining 1.3% in November. Core PPI increased 1.5% in 2019, also the smallest advance since 2015, after rising 2.8% in 2018.

The Fed, which has a 2% annual inflation target, tracks the core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index for monetary policy. The core PCE price index rose 1.6% on a year-on-year basis in November, and undershot the Fed's target in the first 11 months of 2019. December PCE price data will be published later this month.

The U.S. central bank last month left interest rates steady and signaled monetary policy could remain on hold at least through this year after it reduced borrowing costs three times in 2019. Inflation could remain tame, with the government reporting last Friday that the annual increase in wage growth retreated to below 3.0% in December even as the unemployment rate held at 3.5% and a broader measure of labor market slack dropped to a record 6.7%.

Inflation has been muted despite the United States imposing tariffs on billions of dollars worth of imported Chinese goods. President Donald Trump and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He signed an initial trade deal on Wednesday, a first step toward defusing an 18-month trade war.

JP Morgan's Historic Earnings Confirm that Fed Loans Are Subsidizing Profits on Wall Street

Yesterday, JPMorgan Chase reported that its profits for the quarter ending December 31, 2019 hit an all-time record. (The bank has been around for more than a century, so that's saying something.) The quarterly profits were $8.52 billion - for the same three-month period in which the New York Fed has been flooding unnamed Wall Street trading houses with hundreds of billions of dollars each week in super cheap loans. The so-called "repo loans" by the New York Fed are being made at a fraction of where the free market would price loans to these Wall Street trading houses. On September 17, 2019, the first day the Fed began this open money spigot to Wall Street, the market wanted to price these loans at 10 percent. The New York Fed intervened with a flood of cheap money to bring the rate down and has been making the loans at less than 2 percent since then. Yesterday, the New York Fed pumped out $82 billion to unnamed trading houses on Wall Street at interest rates of between 1.55 and 1.57 percent. "The six biggest U.S. banks' share of the estimated subsidy was $4.8 billion, or 23 percent of their combined net income during the time they were borrowing from the Fed."
One of the six largest U.S. banks, is, of course, JPMorgan Chase.
In a March 26, 2010 letter to shareholders, Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan Chase, attempted to spin his bank's use of the Fed's money spigot:
First he wrote this: "We do not borrow 'cheap' from the Federal Reserve or any other source; we borrow at market rates, like everyone else does." Then he must have had a pang of conscience and wrote this later in the same missive to shareholders:

"We did participate in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) guarantee program, under which we issued $40 billion of debt with an FDIC guarantee. Many banks that used this program would not have had access to the capital markets without this guarantee and possibly could have failed. For JPMorgan Chase, it was not a question of access or need - to the extent we needed it, the markets always were open to us - but the program did save us money. As part of this program, we have paid the FDIC $1.3 billion, and, after paying the FDIC, it will save us a significant amount of money over the next few years.

"Our company was highly criticized for accepting the TARP capital and for using the FDIC program. After April 1, 2009, even though we were eligible to continue using the FDIC program, we stopped using it. There were many other government programs (with acronyms such as TALF and PPIP) that we believe were beneficial to the capital markets, but that we did not need and chose not to use, so as to avoid the stigma. (We did use the Term Auction Facility (TAF), a special government-sponsored depository facility, but this was done at the request of the Federal Reserve to help motivate others to use the system.)"

TAF is not the only cheap-interest-rate Fed program that JPMorgan Chase tapped during the financial crisis. According to the academic researchers who compiled data on Fed loans during the financial crisis for the Levy Economics Institute, JPMorgan Chase received a cumulative tally of $456.9 billion just from the Fed - not including its help from the FDIC. According to the audit of Fed loans to Wall Street belatedly conducted by the Government Accountability Office in 2011, it showed that JPMorgan had tapped the following cheap-interest loan programs offered by the Fed (cumulative totals): $99 billion from the Term Auction Facility; $112 billion from the Primary Dealer Credit Facility; $68 billion from the Term Securities Lending Facility; and $111 billion from the Asset-Backed Commercial Paper Money Market Mutual Fund Liquidity Facility for a cumulative total of $390 billion. That number falls short of the dollar amount calculated by the Levy Economics Institute data because the GAO did not include all of the Fed's cheap money programs.

The statutory mandate of the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, is to maintain maximum employment and stable prices. The mandate has never been to subsidize trading profits at the serially miscreant banks on Wall Street that have a long, recidivist history of ripping off Main Street. But the New York Fed has carved out this role for itself because Congress refuses to hold meaningful hearings or use its subpoena power to investigate what's really going on today on Wall Street.

China Injects $58 Billion Into banking System as Holiday Nears

China added liquidity to the financial system Wednesday, helping to offset a cash squeeze ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday. It kept interest rates on the loans unchanged. The People's bank of China added 300 billion yuan ($44 billion) through the medium-term lending facility at 3.25%, according to a statement from the central bank Wednesday. It also injected 100 billion yuan via open market operations after a 15-day hiatus, selling 14-day reverse repurchase agreements at 2.65%. There were no funds maturing Wednesday. Some 257.5 billion yuan worth of targeted medium-term loans will come due on Jan. 23.

Analysts estimate a 3.8 trillion yuan liquidity gap may need offsetting in January as Chinese companies and residents withdraw cash ahead of the week-long holiday. banks also have to build cash levels for tax payments and reserve requirements, among other needs. Authorities have signaled they will continue to reduce borrowing costs for companies in 2020 in part of a broader government drive to stabilize economic growth, even though signs of a recovery have emerged.

The injection comes after the central bank earlier this month lowered the amount of cash banks must keep in reserve, unleashing about 800 billion yuan into the financial system. It had also lowered the cost of the key one-year funding facility in November. The measures are expected to help with this year's earlier-than-usual sale of local government debt, which is largely used to finance infrastructure construction. banks are the main buyers of the bonds.

WTI Dips After Surprise Crude Build

After 5 straight down days, oil managed modest gains today with WTI bouncing off $58.00 on the heels of some optimism surrounding the imminent signing of the trade deal. Fundamentals are largely bearish due to oversupply concerns, especially given the huge build in stockpiles reported in the refined products last week, so all eyes will be on tonight's API data (barring any geopolitical headlines)…

API
-Crude +1.1mm (-1.1mm exp)
-Cushing -69k (-1.0mm exp)
-Gasoline +3.2mm (+3.4mm exp)
-Distillates +6.78mm (+1.1mm exp)
After the prior week's surprise build, analysts expected a small draw in crude (but continued builds in products). However, crude saw a build and products saw significant builds. WTI hovered around $58.40 ahead of the data, and dropped modestly on the surprise build.

Fed Announces Plans For Repo Operations Through to Mid-February

The Federal Reserve bank of New York on Tuesday announced plans to conduct repurchase agreement operations through until at least Feb. 13, although the size of term operations will be trimmed to $30 billion from the start of next month. The central bank did not elaborate on plans beyond that.

The move extends a program that has been in place since it stepped in to combat funding-market turmoil in September, but indicates the central bank may have one eye on the exit.

It announced plans to conduct a series of term repo operations from Jan. 16 through Jan. 30 of $35 billion apiece, in line with the most recent similar actions. Those scheduled from Feb. 4 to Feb. 13 will have a maximum offering size of $30 billion. The newly scheduled operations will provide liquidity through to Feb. 27. The maximum size of the central bank's daily overnight operations, meanwhile, will be kept steady at $120 billion. These are slated to continue until Feb. 13, according to the New York Fed. The Fed has been conducting repo offerings and Treasury-bill purchases in a bid to keep control of short-term interest rates and bolster bank reserves. That has calmed markets since the September spike that took overnight repo rates as high as 10% and helped to quell concerns about a potential cash crunch at the end of December 2019.

The Fed also announced Tuesday that it planned to keep unchanged the pace of Treasury purchases it conducts. The central bank will buy $60 billion a month of Treasury bills for reserve management and $20 billion a month of Treasuries of various types for reinvestment purchases, according to the New York branch's website.

Citigroup beats estimates on credit card, trading revenue growth

Citigroup Inc beat analysts' estimates for fourth-quarter profits on Tuesday, boosted by growth in its credit card business and a jump in trading revenue. North American branded cards, which account for a majority of the bank's consumer banking revenue, clocked double-digit revenue growth for the second straight quarter, rising 10% from a year earlier. The third-largest U.S. bank by assets has been leveraging its robust card business to help grow deposits by pitching checking and savings accounts to card holders. The bank gathered $6 billion in digital deposits last year. Markets and securities revenue rose 28% as markets steadied during the last three months of 2019, with the gains driven by a 49% surge in fixed-income trading. Equities trading fell 23% due to weak performance in derivatives.

Citi also reached a key profitability target. The bank hit a return on tangible common equity (ROTCE) of 12.1% for 2019, above the goal of 12% it promised investors for the year. ROTCE is a widely watched measure of how well a bank uses shareholder money to generate profits.

The bank, however, reduced its guidance for 2020 ROTCE to a range of 12% to 13%, down from prior guidance of 13.5%.

'Maintaining this sort of equidistant type of relationship … is going to be put to the test,' said Gary A. Grappo, a former US ambassador to Oman. 'Whoever that person is is going to have an immensely, immensely difficult job.

'And overhanging all of that will be the sense that he's not Qaboos because those are impossible shoes to fill.'

The sultan had been believed to be ill for some time, though authorities never disclosed what malady he faced.

A report released in December by the Washington Institute for Near-East Policy described the sultan as suffering from 'diabetes and a history of colon cancer.'

Sultan Qaboos spent eight months in a hospital in Germany, returning to Oman in 2015, with the royal court only saying that the treatment he received was successful.

In December 2019, he traveled to Belgium for a week for what the court described as 'medical checks.' Days of worry about his condition ended on December 31, with the royal court describing him to be in stable condition.

The sultan's greatest diplomatic achievement came when Oman hosted secret talks between Iranian and US diplomats that led to the 2015 nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers.

The agreement, which limited Iran's atomic program in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions, has come unraveled since President Donald Trump withdrew from it in May 2018.

Even while mediating negotiations with Tehran, the sultan maintained ties to those in the Pahlavi dynasty that Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution overthrew.

Sultan Qaboos' outward-looking worldview could not have contrasted more sharply than that of his father, Sultan Said bin Taimur, under whose rule the sultanate more resembled a medieval state.

Slavery was legal, no one could travel abroad and music was banned. At the time, the country, which is nearly the size of Poland, had only 10 kilometers (6.21 miles) of paved roads.

Yet Sultan Said let his son Qaboos, born in Salalah on November 18, 1940, travel to study in England.

Sultan Qaboos' time abroad included schooling at Britain's Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst and training with the Scottish Rifles Regiment in what was then West Germany.

He returned to Salalah in 1964 but found himself locked away in a palace. Music cassettes sent to him from friends abroad included secret messages from the British.

London was frustrated with Sultan Said, who had grown increasingly eccentric after surviving an assassination attempt and as Communist rebels kept up their offensive in the sultanate's Dhofar region.

On July 23, 1970, a palace coup ended with Sultan Said shooting himself in the foot before going into exile in London. Qaboos then took power.

'Yesterday, Oman was in darkness,' Sultan Qaboos said after the coup. 'But tomorrow, a new dawn will rise for Oman and its people.'

Sultan Qaboos quickly moved toward modernizing the country, building the schools, hospitals and roads his father didn't.

With the help of Iranian forces under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the British and Jordan, the sultan beat back the Dhofar rebellion.

'You can see the sultan's fingerprints,' Grappo said. 'They're just everywhere.'

Over time, Sultan Qaboos introduced what amounted to a written constitution, created a parliament and granted citizens limited political freedoms. But the sultan always had final say.

In a sign of his strong grip, he also served as prime minister and minister of defense, finance and foreign affairs, as well as governor of the sultanate's central bank.

Fed Considering Lending Cash Directly To Hedge Funds In Next Repo Market Crisis

At the beginning of December, the bank of International Settlements, presented a formerly unknown explanation for the September repocalypse, one which in addition to a sharp drop in liquidity by the "Top 4" banks, was amplified by an imbalance in demand for repo by hedge funds: "High demand for secured (repo) funding from non-financial institutions, such as hedge funds heavily engaged in leveraging up relative value trades," was a key factor behind the chaos, said Claudio Borio, head of the monetary and economic department at the BIS.

The BIS's finding was novel, and surprising, as it highlighted the "growing clout of hedge funds in the repo market" which in retrospect is to be expected: as we noted over a year ago, hedge funds such as Millennium, Citadel and Point 72 are not only active in the repo market, they are also the most heavily leveraged multi-strat funds in the world, taking something like $20-$30 billion in net AUM and levering it up to $200 billion. They achieve said leverage using repo.

In short, and as shown in the chart above, some of the world's biggest hedge funds are active in the repo market to boost their returns. The problem is what happens when repo rates get unhinged as happened on September 16: for the best example of how market players react when their underlying correlations go tilt, look no further than what happened to LTCM in 1998.

So with hedge funds now emerging as the weakest market transmission link in any future repo market flare up, the Fed has to act, and sure enough, as the WSJ reports, in order to minimize risk during any and all upcoming repo market crises, Fed officials are considering a new tool to ease repo market stress: namely bypassing the existing system entirely, and lending cash directly to smaller banks, securities dealers and hedge funds through the repo market's clearinghouse, the Fixed Income Clearing Corp., or FICC.

How is this different from the current system?

Well, as the BIS explained last month, hedge funds currently borrow through a process called sponsored repo, in which a large bank effectively act as a middleman or guarantor, pairing their government bonds with money-market funds willing to lend cash. The bank then guarantees that the parties will fulfill their obligations-repaying the cash or returning the securities. In the new proposal, firms trading through the FICC, would contribute to a fund that would cover a borrower's default.

Yet while the former regime is so convoluted only a few individuals, and the BIS, get it, the new approach makes the Fed's backstop of hedge funds far more explicit, and could also political problems for policy makers. The problem, as the WSJ notes, "centers on the central bank lending directly to hedge funds", which already only cater to ultra high net worth clients.

Are they really the ones that so desperately need a bailout when the next crisis hits?

It doesn'y really matter because hedge fund leverage is now so intertwined with the repo market, any bailout of the banks or the financial system, also explicitly bails out hedge funds, even though "some fear that lending directly to hedge funds could lead to the perception the Fed is fueling risky bets."

The idea of using the clearinghouse appeals to some investors and analysts because the Fed has had trouble getting cash into the hands of the smaller banks, securities dealers and investors who need it the most. That is because the Fed trades exclusively with a small group of large banks and securities firms, known as primary dealers. Even among these firms, activity is tightly concentrated. A study recently published by the bank for International Settlements said that liquidity in the repo market rests in the hands of the four largest banks in the U.S. system.

Of course, if hedge funds at least used the repo funding for some noble, original purposes, that could at least put some favorable spin on this debate. Alas, hedge funds mostly use the borrowed repo funds just to boost leverage and increase potential gains from investments, as shown in the top chart. Of course, such leverage can also magnify losses. And while policy makers typically haven't encouraged the use of levered investment strategies, the wide availability of repo has made it the preferred means for hedge funds to leverage up as much as 10x.

Wells Fargo quarterly profit slumps as legal costs mount

Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.N) reported a 55% slump in fourth-quarter profit on Tuesday, as the fallout from a sales scandal that erupted in 2016 drove the bank to set aside another $1.5 billion toward legal expenses. Shares of the bank fell about 3% to $50.50 in premarket trading.

The lender is operating under heavy regulatory scrutiny, including an unprecedented cap on its balance sheet by the Federal Reserve, as it tries to rebuild its reputation since it was revealed that the bank had opened potentially millions of bogus accounts. Since then, the fourth-largest U.S. bank by assets has paid billions of dollars in fines and penalties.

San Francisco-based Wells last year appointed Charles Scharf, a one-time Jamie Dimon protégé, as its new chief executive officer, to help it rebuild its reputation with customers, investors and regulators.

"Wells Fargo is a wonderful and important franchise that has made some serious mistakes, and my mandate is to make the fundamental changes necessary to regain the full trust and respect of all stakeholders," Scharf said in a statement. "Our cost structure is too high, and I believe there are many areas where we will be able to increase our rate of growth," he added.

Net income applicable to common stock fell to $2.55 billion, or 60 cents per share, in the fourth-quarter ended Dec. 31, from $5.71 billion, or $1.21 per share, a year earlier. Analysts had expected a profit of $1.12 per share, according to Refinitiv data.

Wells Fargo's net interest income fell 11% from a year earlier as the U.S. central bank lowered borrowing costs three times last year, in a bid to sustain the more than decade-long economic expansion amid the prolonged U.S.-China trade war. The lender's mortgage income, however, rose to $783 million from $467 million a year earlier, benefiting from the lower interest rates.

Mortgage applications have increased in most weeks since the Fed began reducing rates, according to a Mortgage bankers Association index.

The bank's efficiency ratio was 78.6%, compared with 63.6% a year earlier. The ratio measures non-interest expenses as a percentage of revenue.

How do banks fail, softly or with a hard crash? Politicians and the wealthy would prefer the system survive the coming passage of Nibiru, and thus will do all they can to disguise the distress that banks are experiencing. They hope for the common man to learn of Nibiru late, preferably during the Last Weeks, so they have no time to stop paying their mortgage, else foreclosures would increase. This is anticipated to be a temporary burden on the banks, though they can then auction the properties off.

We have long predicted banking failures going into the Pole Shift, due to a worldwide economic collapse from crop failures, earthquake damage to the infrastructure, insurance company bankruptcy, and consequent job loss with loss of income to the individual and to the GDP. Governments will at first respond by printing or producing more money, though fragile countries will be forced to declare bankruptcy. Weak banks will be closed to be absorbed by larger and stronger banks, but this process does have an end point.

central banks are at present pumping more liquidity into their banks. banks make their money when the loans they make are paid back with interest, but if loan failures occur, or the public fails to make new loans, then the banks do not have their anticipated income. Fat cat bankers and their stockholders are distressed. By pumping liquidity, the banks have more funds to loan and more funds for their expenses. This process can continue until the central bank can no longer risk running the currency at its base into insolvency.

We have predicted that the world will go into the barter system as the Pole Shift approaches. As foreclosures increase, banks will find they do not have the resources to monitor these properties, and they will be repossessed by their former owners or by strangers. Stocks and bonds will lose their value, with the Stock Markets being considered a joke. Tricks like a negative interest rate are already considered a joke. Why would someone buy a bond when it will cost them money? A currency, such as the Yuan or US dollar, or Euro will continue to be used as a medium of exchange on the street and in shops, however.

US To Remove China "Currency Manipulator" Designation Ahead Of Treade Deal; Yuan Jumps

For anyone still seeking definitive confirmation that the Treasury's "Currency Manipulator" designation is nothing more than a political tool, here it is: moments ago Bloomberg reported that just five months after the Treasury slammed China as a currency manipulator on August 5 when the trade war between the two nations was near its apex, the US would lift said "manipulator" tag hours ahead of the Phase One trade deal which is now set to be announced to much fanfare on Jan 15.

According to the report, the Treasury Department will make the move in the latest semi-annual currency report, which is expected to be released ahead of Jan 15 after being delayed as the U.S. and China finalize a "phase one" trade pact.

As we reported at the time, On August 5 Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin first formally labeled China a currency-manipulator since the days of the Clinton administration, a move that further escalated the trade war with Beijing after the country's central bank allowed the yuan to fall in retaliation to new U.S. tariffs. The designation followed just hours after the Yuan tumbled below the critical level of 7 against the dollar.

And since it is now clear that this designation was merely a political ploy to push China, now that a deal is in sight, the designation is being lifted.

The administration had at one point considered maintaining the label and instead announcing it would monitor the yuan with the possibility of lifting the designation in August of this year, according to the people.

Mnuchin's August 2019 announcement prompted authorities in Beijing to increase transparency around how they manage the yuan. Some of that data has provided support for Treasury's view that the People's bank of China engages in competitive devaluations of its currency, the people said.

ronically, when China branded a currency manipulator it was for devaluing its currency when in reality Beijing has been fighting tooth and nail to keep its currency stronger than it should be based on the shadow outflows from the country's closed capital account; as a result economists slammed the August decision: the IMF said in September the yuan is fairly valued and that there's no evidence of manipulation, noting that China's weakening currency could also be attributed to a slowdown in growth.

More to the point, China also doesn't meet the criteria outlined in a 2015 U.S. law for formally designating a country a currency-manipulator. Mnuchin instead relied on a 1988 trade law that has a looser definition of currency manipulation to justify the claim. He did so after the yuan broke the 7 per dollar level for the first time since 2008, drawing Trump's ire.

As a reminder, the August announcement was made in a press release, outside the normal issuance of the report. That left currency strategists and policy experts without a full explanation for the decision. Treasury's currency report examines 20 countries for possible currency manipulation, a number that was increased from 12 in May.

And, as Bloomberg discloses, "Trump was involved in drafting the press release, which on his direction refers to China as a "Currency Manipulator," using capital letters."

Hinting at what's to come, last October Mnuchin said that if a trade deal with China were signed, he would consider removing the manipulator tag, saying that signing an agreement would be "a big step in the right direction." And now that a deal is imminent, this is precisely what has happened.

Following the bloomberg report, the Yuan rose to fresh session highs, with the USDCNH dropping to levels not seen since July.

It has been called the largest airborne transfer of currency in the history of the world. But finding out what happened to all the money involved has become one of the biggest financial mysteries of all time.

US troops get ready to unload cash transported inside Iraq by helicopter.
Beginning in the very earliest days of the war in Iraq, the New York Federal Reserve shipped billions of dollars in physical cash to Baghdad to pay for the reopening of the government and restoration of basic services.

The money was packed onto pallets inside a heavily guarded New York Federal Reserve compound in East Rutherford, New Jersey, trucked to Andrews Air Force Base outside of Washington, and flown by military aircraft to Baghdad International Airport.

By one account, the New York Fed shipped about $40 billion in cash between 2003 and 2008. In just the first two years, the shipments included more than 281 million individual bills weighing a total of 363 tons. But soon after the money arrived in the chaos of war-torn Baghdad, the paper trail documenting who controlled it all began to go cold.

Since then, investigators have spent years trying to trace what happened to the enormous amount of money shipped in the frantic days of the occupation of Iraq. Although there have been hundreds of pages of reports, Congressional hearings, and inquiries from Washington to Baghdad, no one in Congress, a special inspector general's office, the Department of Defense or the Iraqi government itself can say with certainty what exactly happened to all of that money.

Much of it may have been spent on the things it was intended for-but billions of dollars may have simply been stolen. The thefts likely ranged from complicated contracting schemes to brazen appropriations of billions in cash still in their New York Fed plastic wrappers.

To find out what happened, a special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction has focused on the chain of custody-who was responsible for the money, minute by minute, as it made its way to Baghdad.

And although the money was handled by a variety of trained American officials and military officers in the first legs of its trip halfway around the world, CNBC has learned that something unusual happened on the Baghdad side of the transaction: Each of the money flights to Baghdad was met at the airport in Iraq by the same man.

The previously unknown Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) official was tasked with picking up the bales of billions as they were unloaded from C-17s and arranging for them to get to the central bank of Iraq in downtown Baghdad. It was a perilous journey of about seven miles over a road the U.S. military called "Route Irish" through territory often controlled by insurgents. Travelers faced the threat of rocket propelled grenades, mortars, car bombs and IEDs.

Transit was so dangerous that returning American GI's often posted YouTube videos of their trips on Route Irish, just for the bragging rights of having been there.

The CPA official was a stocky, middle-aged naturalized American citizen of Lebanese descent who was born in Saudi Arabia. His first name is Basel. At his request, CNBC has agreed to withhold his last name from this story. Basel ferried cash in Baghdad for the CPA and the American embassy from 2003 until 2008-all told handling, he said, about $40 billion in cash.

Agree central banks not necessary.

Ron Paul wrote an interesting paper years ago about transitioning away from the central bank system by running a parallel choice of money (not currency) side by side and let the people choose. A weaning off period.

In a way, to a limited degree this is happening w/cryptos. The only faults I see in cryptos is security from hacking (or losing a key or wallet) and the issue of a fixed value, since diluting the amount of money/currency has always historically led to the same problem.

VZ was going to or did come out with a gold backed crypto. I haven't followed up on what happened with that.

Goldmoney married to something along the lines of a debit card?

I don't know the solution. Just know it can't be a chaotic unwind from the current system. There aren't very many people prepared to handle chaos.

4/10/20 is our target date from Q and 'Spring to Early Summer' is the forecast by Bill Barr.

That means we have 93 days in the wake up of good digging weather.

To me, 93 days of digging should be broken down in priorities.

So, what are the priorities?

1. Human Trafficking (Child/sex/human sacrifice, adrenochrome, consumption)
2. Corrupt Federal Congress, both House and Senate (Pelosi/Waters worth more than their complete Salaries over their careers).
3. The Foreign Aid/central bank/Fed/credit-banking laws scam
4. Failure of the Churches and Education System.
5. Dumbing down of the Medical Industry / cures for diseases.

It seems to me if we just pick those 5 or something like them and do 2 or 3 digs on each one + the current event digs and advertise them so that everybody can dig.

I think we should take this down time and really start getting some good investigations going.

If 8kun does indeed go down, it'd be great for everybody to have the dig plan in hand to continue offline. At some point 8kun will come back up.

The Fed Can't Reverse the Decline of Financialization and Globalization

The global economy and financial system are both running on the last toxic fumes of financialization and globalization.

For two generations, globalization and financialization have been the two engines of global growth and soaring assets. Globalization can mean many things, but its beating heart is the arbitraging of the labor of the powerless, and commodity, environmental and tax costs by the powerful to increase their profits and wealth.

In other words, globalization is the result of those at the top of the wealth-power pyramid shifting capital around the world to exploit lower costs of labor, commodities, environmental regulations and taxes.

This manifests as offshoring of jobs, the stripmining of forests, minerals, etc., the degradation of local ecosystems, the decline of tax revenues derived from capital and the explosive rise in stock market valuations as wages stagnate or decline.

A key element in globalization is the transfer of risk from the owners of capital to the workers and public resources. Examples of this transfer of risk abound: rather than pay workers benefits, corporations game part-time/full-time labor laws so workers' health insurance is paid by taxpayers (Medicaid). Corporations pay wages too low to survive so workers depend on public-sector assistance (food stamps, etc.)

Rather than provide vehicles to workers who drive for a living, corporations such as Uber and Lyft transfer all the risks of ownership, maintenance and enterprise to the drivers. And so on.

Financialization is the exploitation of assets/income that were previously safe from predation by those with access to low-cost central bank credit. While definitions vary, mine is:

Financialization is the mass commoditization of debt collaterized by previously unsecuritized assets, a pyramiding of risk and speculation that is only possible in a massive expansion of low-cost credit and leverage for those at the top of the wealth-power pyramid: financiers, banks and corporations.

One example is the student loan "industry," which prior to financialization did not exist. A previously safe from predation asset/source of income–college degrees–has been securitized so that loans issued to students for largely worthless diplomas can be sold globally as "secure assets with guaranteed yields."

That the exploited class of students have little to no income and no guarantee of income doesn't matter. What matters is a previously unexploited asset can be turned into debt that can be sold at an immense profit.

And so student loan debt has skyrocketed from near-zero to $1.6 trillion in less than a generation. This rapacious, ruthless exploitation would not have been possible without the central bank (Federal Reserve) and federal government enabling and enforcing the supremacy of private capital and the predation of the higher-education cartel.

The subprime mortgage loan bubble was another example of financialization: a previously inaccessible asset/income–the earnings of households with poor credit ratings–was suddenly available for exploitation, and guaranteed-to-default subprime mortgages were packaged with lower-risk mortgages and sold globally as "secure assets with guaranteed yields."

That this was outright fraud didn't matter to either the Federal Reserve or federal government.

Alas, all good predations end when the herd of prey has been dragged to the ground and consumed. All the fruit of financialization and globalization have been plucked by the powerful, and now both the engines of "growth" are sputtering.

The Federal Reserve and other central banks enabled this exploitation, but they're powerless to extend it: central banks can create nearly free credit for the powerful, but they can't conjure up new herds to be preyed upon.

As a result, the global economy and financial system are both running on the last toxic fumes of financialization and globalization, the final extremes of exploitation and predation as the pack of predators has exploded in size and influence while the herd of prey has been decimated.

In the dying light of the predators' last feast, the Fed is worshipped as an omnipotent entity with god-like powers to levitate markets higher forever. But since the Fed is powerless to restore the upward trajectory of financialization and globalization, its omnipotence is about to expire.

The prey always seem limitless to the predators, but this illusion expires when suddenly there is no longer enough for the ravenous pack of financial predators. At that point, the predators turn on each other. That is the narrative that will come to the fore in 2020 and play out in the decade ahead.

Summers Calls Bernanke Speech 'Last Hurrah' for central bankers

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers dismissed the optimism of former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who recently said the central bank could likely fight off the next recession despite the low level of interest rates. Bernanke's speech was "a kind of last hurrah for the central bankers," Summers said in a taping of Bloomberg Television's "Wall Street Week" with David Westin, which will debut Friday at 6 p.m. in New York. "He argued that monetary policy will be able to do it the next time," Summers said. "I think that's pretty unlikely given that in recessions we usually cut interest rates by 5 percentage points and interest rates today are below 2%." The Fed's target range for its benchmark policy rate is currently at 1.5%-1.75%.

Speaking Jan. 4 at the annual meeting of the American Economic Association in San Diego, Bernanke said crisis-era policies of large-scale bond purchases, known as quantitative easing, and commitments to keep rates low for a very extended period via forward guidance, could be used effectively again if rates drop to zero. Combined, they packed the equivalent of 3 percentage points of additional rate cuts, Bernanke estimated.

Summers disagreed.

"I just don't believe QE and that stuff is worth anything like another 3 percentage points," he said. "We're going to have to rely on putting money in people's pockets, on direct government spending." Also at the AEA conference, Summers presented a paper written with ex-International Monetary Fund chief economist Olivier Blanchard saying governments should put in place "semi-automatic stabilizers," or policies that would automatically increase government spending – perhaps through temporary tax cuts or credits – once certain economic measures like unemployment passed agreed thresholds. Summers also said investors shouldn't expect the kind of returns they enjoyed over the past decade, especially from the stock market."Because interest rates are much lower and maybe risk premiums are the same as they always are, returns going forward are going to be substantially lower than they have been over the last decade," he said.

Iran Refuses to Hand Over Black Box From Fatal Boeing Crash Near Tehran - Nose of SAM Missile Discovered Near Crash Site...

In the aftermath of Ukraine Airlines Flight 752 exploding and crashing just north of Tehran airport, the Iranian government is refusing to turn-over the black box flight data recorders recovered from the crash site. Combined with the timing and location, their refusal is leading to increased speculation the flight may have accidentally been targeted by Iranian air-defense systems. The tragedy is being compounded by Iranian politics. The Boeing 737-800 is a very dependable aircraft with three decades of service. This specific Ukraine aircraft was built in 2016 & just had a service inspection on January 6th. Immediately after the crash, Iranian officials stated the cause was "technical difficulties", and after video surfaced showing the plane was on fire heading to the ground, Iran later stated the cause was one of the engines on fire. However, there was no distress call or report of issue, from very experienced Ukraine pilots to Tehran air-traffic control. There were 176 passengers and crew aboard: 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainian passengers and crew, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three Britons on board. Additionally, what appears to be the nose of an M1 Surface to Air Missile (SAM) has been identified in a debris field near the crash site.

Google Offers Help to Fed Reserve to Create New Currency

Google sent a letter to the Federal Reserve, asking the U.S. central bank to consider modeling FedNow after the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) framework used in India, The Economic Times (ET) reported on Sunday (Dec. 15). FedNow is the new interbank real-time gross settlement (RTGS) service that will offer integrated clearing functionality for faster digital payments.

Mark Isakowitz, Google's head of U.S. government affairs and public policy, said in a letter to the Fed that Google "worked closely" with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to build Google Pay for the Indian market. NPCI, the payment regulator governed by the Reserve bank of India (RBI), launched real-time payments in 2016.

"First, UPI is an interbank transfer system. ... Second, it is a real-time system. Third, it is 'open' - meaning technology companies can build applications that help users directly manage transfers into and out of their accounts held at banks," Isakowitz wrote, according to ET. […]

Following the LIBOR scandal, the EBC has launched its own benchmark interest rate
In 2012, an international investigation confirmed that some banks had been rigging LIBOR to inflate their profits. With several financial markets publishing alternative benchmarks, the European central bank is aiming to consolidate its own. The world's most important number is on its last legs. The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) may not be particularly well known outside of financial circles, but most people will have been affected by it in some way or another.

Gold, Silver, Oil soar, Nikkei shares slip as U.S. and Iran trade threats

Japan's Nikkei .N225 slid just over 2% in a sour return from holiday, while E-Mini futures for the S&P 500 ESc1 fell 0.5% in very choppy trade. Oil prices added to their gains on fears any conflict in the region could disrupt global supplies. Brent crude LCOc1 futures rose $1.46 to $70.06 a barrel, while U.S. crude CLc1 climbed $1.24 to $64.29.

Iraq's parliament on Sunday recommended all foreign troops be ordered out of the country after the U.S. killing of a top Iranian military commander and an Iraqi militia leader. Spot gold XAU= surged 1.5% to $1,579.55 per ounce in jittery trade and reached its highest since April 2013.
Silver is up 2.1x%-cap #3-it's mentioned rarely becuase they don't want you to know.
MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS slipped 0.7%. Chinese shares opened in the red too, with the blue-chip CSI300 index .CSI300 off a shade while Australian shares were off 0.4%. Sovereign bonds benefited from the safety bid with yields on 10-year Treasuries US10YT=RR down at 1.769% having fallen 10 basis points on Friday. Treasury futures TYc1 gained 5-1/2 ticks. In currency markets, the Japanese yen remained the favored safe harbor courtesy of Japan's massive holdings of foreign assets. Investors assume Japanese funds would repatriate their money during a true global crisis, pushing the yen higher. On Monday, the dollar was last at 107.98 yen JPY=, after falling to a three-month trough of 107.78 earlier in the session. The euro likewise eased to 120.55 yen EURJPY= having hit a three-week low. The dollar was steadier against the other majors, with the euro little changed at $1.1161 EUR=. Against a basket of currencies, the dollar was holding at 96.86 .DXY.

The risk sensitive currencies of Australia AUD=D3 and New Zealand NZD=D3 were on track for their fourth straight session of losses.

FTSE chief executive 'earn' average salary within three days.

FTSE 100 chief executives starting work on 2 January will by 17:00 GMT today have been paid more than the average wage of £29,559, the report suggests.

The data was compiled by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development and the High Pay Centre think tank.

Business Secretary Andrea Leadsom said the apparent pay gap was "concerning".

The figures - based on the latest available data - suggests the average FTSE 100 chief was paid £3.46m in 2018, equivalent to £901.30 an hour.

BOJ's Kuroda says will guide policy carefully with eye on Iran tensions
bank of Japan Governor Haruhiko Kuroda said on Monday the central bank would conduct monetary policy "carefully" while scrutinising overseas economic risks, such as escalating tensions between the United States and Iran.

"Conditions regarding the U.S.-China trade tensions and geopolitical risks are such that we can't have any preset idea on how things could unfold," Kuroda said in brief remarks at a New Year's gathering of commercial bankers.

Q Research General #9883: There Is No Step 5 Edition

2020 will be all about the great unmasking and control.

In 2019 central banks once again succeeded in masking all the underlying problems in the economy, the underlying structural problems of debt, deflation and demographics, and the slowing of global growth and offering the pretense that 2019's policy responses were nothing but a complete system failure acknowledging that markets can't stand on their own two feet without central bank intervention. In process asset prices were artificially inflated across the board and valuations pushed far above the growth and size of global economies and volatility once again compressed.

2020 is then all about whether control over asset prices can be maintained and whether reflation can be achieved to support exaggerated asset prices or whether failure on either count will bring about the great unmasking of the largest asset bubble since the year 2000.

Bond markets and economic data so far shows few signs of true reflation as key individual stocks ($MSFT, $AAPL) are vastly extended and markets are in a state of imbalance partying like it's 1999.

Optimism is high for 2020 and bulls enter the year in full control. The price target charade offers again positive outlooks despite all economic and growth projections having been off base.

Trust is placed in a phase one China trade deal to be signed on January 15 that nobody has seen or read or has any insight into specifics as to how it will bring about reflation.

Trust is placed in an administration keen on continuing to push asset prices higher into the US November election, even outlining specific asset price targets. (DJIA 32K).

Trust is placed in central banks to keep all troubles contained and to continue to "calm markets" as unexpected events such as the most recent Iran crisis pop up.

Markets are priced to perfection and the first quarter is likely to see a larger first correction. The historical script suggests that the first sizable correction of 2020 will get bought for a new rally to either new highs or lower highs.

It is the unfolding of economic data and earnings throughout the year that will then need to show evidence and match the high expectations priced into markets. Without such evidence markets and global economies may well proceed on the path of the great unmasking that the structural economy has been pointing toward for a while.

While central banks have successfully again kicked the can, they have yet to prove that reflation can be achieved. Non confirmation signals keep increasing as does the list of factors that need to be ignored to keep the 'it's different this time' narrative alive.

Join me in this week's market video for an in-depth discussion of technicals and key macro factors/concerns that suggest risk may be greatly misprized :

Soleimani has a long terror history, globally.
Tower: The United States Treasury Department, working with authorities in the United Arab Emirates, broke up a money laundering scheme that provided millions of dollars to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF), Reuters reported Thursday.
Treasury designated six individuals and three business entities for their role in the scheme. The UAE, where companies facilitating the money laundering were located, but the same people and entities on its list of terrorists and terror organizations that do business with the IRGC-QF.
In a statement announcing the new sanctions, Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin said, "The Iranian regime and its central bank have abused access to entities in the UAE to acquire U.S. dollars to fund the IRGC-QF's malign activities, including to fund and arm its regional proxy groups, by concealing the purpose for which the U.S. dollars were acquired. As I said following the President's announcement on Tuesday, we are intent on cutting off IRGC revenue streams wherever their source and whatever their destination. Today we are targeting Iranian individuals and front companies engaged in a large-scale currency exchange network that has procured and transferred millions to the IRGC-QF."
Mnuchin thanked the UAE for its "close collaboration" in disrupting the money laundering and called on all nations to "be vigilant" in fighting Iranian attempts at money-laundering to "fund the nefarious actors of the IRGC-QF and the world's largest state sponsor of terror."

Argentina Minister Signals 'Strict' Currency Rules to Stay

Argentina's "strict" foreign-exchange regulations will remain in force as the government seeks to stabilize the economy, the Pagina/12 newspaper reported Saturday, citing Production Minister Matias Kulfas. Lawmakers last month handed President Alberto Fernandez extraordinary powers to renegotiate debt terms with creditors and increase taxes, marking a victory on his first legislation since taking office last month.

"In the current context, strict exchange rate regulations are inevitable," Kulfas, a former central bank official with unorthodox views and close ties to the president, said in an interview with the newspaper. Ensuring the stability of the economy is "absolute priority," Kulfas told the newspaper. While the currency policies could be reviewed as growth normalizes, "for the medium term, we will have to live with the current system," he added.

Argentina is looking for novel ways to finance its upcoming foreign-denominated coupon payments, including recent peso-denominated bond sales. Its total debt load stands at $332 billion, including loans from the International Monetary Fund. Outstanding debt with private bondholders is about $148 billion. The country needs a mechanism to lower the value-added tax for consumer products, targeting the poorest, Kulfas told the paper. The government will renegotiate electricity and gas rates, and ensure fuel prices are close to those of international crude.

The government will also analyze a trade deal between Mercosur, the South American trade bloc, and the European Union, and the impact on the productive sector.

FOMC Minutes Give Timeline Of Fed "Transitioning Away" From Repo Liquidity Bailout

Since statement and press conference on Dec 11th, where Powell reiterated that The Fed would be on hold unless something yuuge "material reassessment in the outlook" happened, gold is the best performing asset-class (outpacing stocks) as the dollar has been the laggard…And while it has been volatile, expectations for Fed actions (implied by the market) in 2020 are now slightly more dovish than before the Fed meeting…once again pricing in at least one rate-cut this year.

Thirteen of 17 officials forecast rates would be unchanged through the 2020 U.S. presidential election year, according to updated economic projections issued at the time, with four penciling in a quarter-point increase.

Of course, the big issue that The Fed was quietly panicking about was the repo crisis, which they have extinguished (for now) thanks to hundreds of billions of dollars puked across the 'turn' to ensure the holes are filled. As we noted previously, the price of year-end stability was $414 billion… $256 billion in repo injections ($211.4 term and $44.3 in overnight) and $157.5 bn in Bill purchases. All of which has lifted stocks globally…And as a reminder, The Fed has begun - for all intent and purpose - monetizing US debt.

* * *

So what exactly are investors looking for in the Minutes that could spook markets? Not much in the traditional sense. "The Fed is trying to keep the market liquid. Their comfort with the repo market is much less clear-cut. It does feel like a work in progress."

But money-market participants are anxiously awaiting any signals that The Fed might give on its longer-run operational plans (as Fed's Evans hinted earlier today at a standing repo facility - bailout fund - going forward).

"Any views on repo markets outlined in the minutes should probably be adjusted for the year-end results, which on net have likely bolstered the Fed's confidence that they have regained control of repo markets," NatWest strategists led by Blake Gwinn say in Friday note

Information on the Fed's longer-run operational plans or even their "perceived role in stabilizing funding rates or tolerance for volatility," would be welcomed, they said. NatWest expects the central bank to start pulling back on their direct repo involvement in early 2020, and to start tapering their reserve-adding bill purchases in 2Q

And so the highlights from the Minutes include:


*FED: RATES LIKELY APPROPRIATE FOR A TIME ABSENT MATERIAL CHANGE

*FED: MANY SAW RISKS SOMEWHAT TO DOWNSIDE, SOME RISKS HAD EASED

But…

*FED: EXPECT TO TRANSITION AWAY FROM ACTIVE REPO OPS MID-JAN

That is not what the market was hoping for.

central bank of Iceland completes merger with regulator

The central bank of Iceland completed its merger with Iceland's financial regulator on January 2. The central bank now has responsibility for supervision and macro-prudential policy, as well as its previous monetary policy mandate. "The merger gives rise to a strong and independent institution whose objective is to enhance trust, transparency and efficiency in the administration of economic affairs and financial supervision in Iceland," the central bank said in a statement.

Q Research General #9856: Iran Next? DS Losing more Ground Edition

Turkish State banks Sell $1 Billion to Spare Lira From Rout

Turkish state lenders sold between $1 billion and $1.5 billion to stem the lira's decline on Friday, according to three people with knowledge of the matter. The sales appear to have been triggered by a global flight from riskier assets as tensions between the U.S. and Iran escalated, two of the people said.

The lira slipped as much as 0.4% amid the rout to a seven-month low of 5.9781 against the dollar, posting one of the smallest declines across emerging-market currencies. State banks have sold dollars to prop up the lira over the last year, especially in times of heightened volatility, traders say. The currency is a key economic barometer for voters and a driver of consumer confidence. But the practice has been a source of controversy, with speculation mounting the sales amount to veiled intervention by the central bank. It's also made trading the lira less attractive for foreign investors.

In the run-up to municipal elections in March, state banks sold as much as $15 billion to support the currency, according to traders' estimates. In the second week of October, transactions amounted to at least $3.5 billion amid fears that punitive measures from Washington could deal a fresh blow to the Turkish economy.

They shipped that gold to UAE
Some went to France and some went to Germany - as this was right at the time that Germany asked for it's gold reserves back from the US Gov.

The US Gov didn't have it, and to save face they had to do something quick.

Mali was next - France went in there and scooped their gold next.

https://www.libyaobserver.ly/economy/55-tons-libyan-gold-smuggled-uae

Official records have revealed that 50 to 55 tons of Libyan gold - worth 3 billion dollars -have been smuggled to the UAE in recent years, according to the database of foreign commerce authority of the planning ministry of the Presidential Council's government.

The database did not specify the time of smuggling or whether or not the gold belonged to the central bank of Libya (CBL), however; sources confirmed that the smuggling happened after 2011.

The New Arab newspaper reported the CEO of the authority Ali Grira that gold smuggling to UAE has been on the rise lately, calling for ceasing to such acts.

"We have issued very accurate data about the smuggling and we have documents for it." Grira added.

Smuggling of Libyan gold has seen a hike lately due to lack of security and inspection. Observers say the gold is being sent to Dubai to make easy money out of currency exchange rates.

Libya's gold reserves are 143.8 tons in fourth place on the Arab world after Algeria and Lebanon and Saudi Arabia - the number one country in terms of gold reserves.

Many Libyans have resorted to selling gold due to the dire economic conditions in the country and lack of cash at the banks.

3. Qaddafi has nearly bottomless financial resources to continue indefinitely, according to the latest report we have received:
On April 2, 2011 sources with access to advisors to Salt al-Islam Qaddafi stated in strictest confidence that while the freezing of Libya's foreign bank accounts presents Muammar Qaddafi with serious challenges, his ability to equip and maintain his armed forces and intelligence services remains intact. According to sensitive information available to this these individuals, Qaddafi's government holds 143 tons of gold, and a similar amount in silver. During late March, 2011 these stocks were moved to SABHA (south west in the direction of the Libyan border with Niger and Chad); taken from the vaults of the Libyan central bank in Tripoli.
This gold was accumulated prior to the current rebellion and was intended to be used to establish a pan-African currency based on the Libyan golden Dinar. This plan was designed to provide the Francophone African Countries with an alternative to the French.franc (CFA).
(Source Comment: According to knowledgeable individuals this quantity of gold and silver is valued at more than $7 billion. French intelligence officers discovered this plan shortly after the current rebellion began, and this was one of the factors that influenced President Nicolas Sarkozy's decision to commit France to the attack on Libya. According to these individuals Sarkozy's plans are driven by the following issues:


a. A desire to gain a greater share of Libya oil production,
b. Increase French influence in North Africa,

UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05779612 Date: 12/31/2015
c. Improve his intemai political situation in France,
d. Provide the French military with an opportunity to reassert its position in the world,
e. Address the concern of his advisors over Qaddafi's long term plans to supplant France as the dominant power in Francophone Africa)
On the afternoon of April 1, an individual with access to the National Libyan Council (NLC) stated in private that senior officials of the NLC believe that the rebel military forces are beginning to show signs of improved discipline and fighting spirit under some of the new military commanders, including Colonel Khalifha Haftar, the former commander of the antiQaddafi forces in the Libyan National Army (LNA). According to these sources, units defecting from Qaddafi's force are also taking a greater role in the fighting on behalf of the rebels:


After Gaddafi's murder: Al Qaeda flags fly proudly over Benghazi.

And interestingly enough, this letter is among those which Clinton did NOT classify; apparently she didn't see anything particularly damning in it.

After all, what would the Libyans have done with all that gold anyhow? Just built schools, hospitals, irrigation projects, and funded African development? All laughably unimportant, compared to such goals as:

Strengthening Sarkozy's political position at home
Putting Hillary Clinton into the White House; or
Solidifying Bernard-Henri Lévy's reputation as the "moral conscience" of our time. (If "moral conscience" includes such notions as promoting colonial wars and genocide.)

Helicopter Money Is Here: How The Fed Monetized Billions In Debt Sold Just Days Earlier

The Fed's charter prohibits its from directly purchasing bonds or bills issued by the US Treasury: that process is also known as monetization and various Fed chairs have repeatedly testified under oath to Congress that the Fed does not do it. Of course, the alternative is what is known as "Helicopter Money", when the central bank directly purchases bonds issued by the Treasury and forms the backbone of the MMT monetary cult.

But what if there is at a several day interval between Treasury issuance and subsequent purchase? Well, that's perfectly legal, and it's something the Fed has done not only during QE1, QE2 and QE3, but is continuing to do now as part of its "QE4/NOT QE."

Here's how.

On December 16, the US Treasury sold $36 billion in T-Bills with a 182-day term, maturing on June 18, 2020, with CUSIP SV2. And, as shown in the Treasury Direct snapshot below, of the total $34.3 billion in competitive purchases, Dealers acquired $23.7 billion.

Helicopter Money Is Here: How The Fed Monetized Billions In Debt Sold Just Days Earlier

The Fed's charter prohibits its from directly purchasing bonds or bills issued by the US Treasury: that process is also known as monetization and various Fed chairs have repeatedly testified under oath to Congress that the Fed does not do it. Of course, the alternative is what is known as "Helicopter Money", when the central bank directly purchases bonds issued by the Treasury and forms the backbone of the MMT monetary cult.

But what if there is at a several day interval between Treasury issuance and subsequent purchase? Well, that's perfectly legal, and it's something the Fed has done not only during QE1, QE2 and QE3, but is continuing to do now as part of its "QE4/NOT QE."

Here's how.

On December 16, the US Treasury sold $36 billion in T-Bills with a 182-day term, maturing on June 18, 2020, with CUSIP SV2. And, as shown in the Treasury Direct snapshot below, of the total $34.3 billion in competitive purchases, Dealers acquired $23.7 billion. What happened next?

For the answer we go to the Fed's POMO page, which shows which specific T-Bill CUSIPs were purchased by its markets desk on any given POMO day when Dealers sell up to $7.5 billion in Bills to the Fed.

Exhibit 1: on December 19, just three days after the above T-Bill was issued and on the very day the issue settled (Dec 19), Dealers flipped the same Bills they bought from the Treasury back to the Fed for an unknown markup. Specifically, of the $7.5BN in total POMO, the SV2 CUSIP which had been issued earlier that week, represented the biggest bond "put" to the Fed, amounting to $3.9 billion, more than half of the total POMO on that day, and by far the most of any CUSIP sold to the NY Fed's markets desk on that day.

But wait, there's more.

Exhibit 2: during the next POMO conducted the very next day, or December 20, and just four days after the issuance of T-Bill SV2, which as a reminder saw $23.7 billion in Dealer purchase, those same Dealers flipped more of the same Bills they "bought" from the Treasury back to the Fed. Why? To once again pocket the unspecific markup the Fed generously provided to them just because they are Dealers. Of the $7.5BN in total POMO held on Dec 20, the SV2 CUSIP once again represented the single biggest bond "put" to the Fed, amounting to $1.6 billion, the most of any CUSIP sold to the NY Fed's markets desk on that day.

So what is going on? Well, for all those saying the US may soon unleash helicopter money, and/or MMT, we have some 'news': helicopter money is already here, and the Fed is now actively monetizing debt the Treasury sold just days earlier using Dealers as a conduit… a "conduit" which is generously rewarded by the Fed's market desk with its marked up purchase price.

In other words, the Fed is already conducting Helicopter Money (and MMT) in all but name. As shown above, the Fed monetized T-Bills that were issued just three days earlier - and just because it is circumventing the one hurdle that prevents it from directly purchasing securities sold outright by the Treasury, the Fed is providing the Dealers that made this legal debt circle-jerk possible with millions in profits, even as the outcome is identical if merely offset by a few days.

Perhaps during Fed Chair Powell's next Congressional hearings, someone actually has the guts to ask the only question that matters: why is the Fed now monetizing US debt, and pretending it isn't doing so just because it grants Dealers a 3-day "holding" period, for which it then rewards them generously?

Q Research General #9832: Scavino for the Sauce! Edition/

China Cuts Reserve Ratio By 50bps Ahead Of January's $400 Billion "Liquidity Hole"

Just three days after China quietly cut rates by 20bps when it ordered banks to switch from the traditional Benchmark 1 year rate to the new Loan Prime Rate (aka China's LIBOR) as the reference rate for new short-term loans, effectively lowering the prevailing rate from 4.35% to 4.15% (in the process further pressuring bank net interest margins), on the first day of the new 2020, the PBOC unveiled widely expected another boost for the slowing Chinese economy: the central bank announced that starting Jan 6, it will lower the required reserve ratio (RRR) - or the amount of money banks are required to have on hand - by 50bps for commercial lenders, in the process releasing about 800 billion yuan ($115 billion) in liquidity from the cash-strapped financial system.

Currently the required reserve ratio is 13% for large banks and 11% for small banks. The cut, which is the first since September, will bring the blended reserve ratio for Chinese banks to the lowest level since October 2007.

The 50bps RRR cut is meant to help banks reduce their lending rate to businesses, the PBOC said in a separate statement, which is ironic because while on one hand the PBOC pressures commercial banks by ordering them to lower the amount of interest they can charge customers by 20bps (with the benchmark rate recalibration), on the other it boosts systemic liquidity to offset the adverse effects of its first action, something we predicted would happen earlier this week, to wit:… with more than half of China's banks failing a recent central bank stress test, the only guaranteed outcome from this weekend's effective rate cut is that, paradoxically, it will only accelerate the rate of failure of China's already cash strapped, and in many cases insolvent, banks. As such we expect that the PBOC will promptly follow through with another RRR cut to offset the adverse side-effects of this particular rate cut, by injecting more liquidity in the banking system.

Of course, it wasn't just us predicting an imminent RRR reduction: the cut was first signaled by Chinese premier Li Keqiang in December 2019. It's also in line with market expectations that the PBOC will increase funding to the financial system in January to ease a liquidity crunch caused by rising local government debt sales and increasing cash demand during the Spring Festival holidays.

As a reminder, two weeks ago we warned that China is facing a potentially destabilizing "liquidity hole" of 2.8 trillion yuan ($400 billion) in January as people across the nation will withdraw cash for the Lunar New Year holiday, which this year falls on Jan 25. China's most important annual holiday is a time when companies and individuals typically need large amounts of cash on hand to pay bonuses, clear debts and cover other expenses. In addition to seasonal cash needs, China's bond market also faces a major maturity deluge, as more than 2 trillion yuan in notes mature in early 2020, and fresh debt to refinance the borrowing thus shoring up economic growth will probably start hitting the market soon.

Sure enough, in addition to offsetting the reduced net interest margin, the PBOC said that the injection will be offset as banks provide more cash to the public before the Spring Festival, and the overall liquidity level at banks will be kept stable. "Prudent monetary policy stance remains unchanged," it added.

It was fears about an impending liquidity shortfall that sent China's 1Month SHIBOR to the highest level in one year, briefly touching 3% a few days ago.However, now that China is engaged in a delicate balancing act, on one hand reducing the amount of cash banks can earn by lending money to customers, and on the other releasing systemic liquidity, the question is whether the PBOC's latest efforts to stimulate the economy will destabilize the banking sector further.

Addressing just this, the PBOC said the planned reduction will save about 15 billion yuan in funding costs for banks in a year, indicating that the benchmark loan prime rate will likely be lowered as banks reduce their submissions for the rate's calculation in late January, which in turn will force the PBOC to cut the RRR further, resulting in an even lower loan prime rates and so forth, which brings to mind a recent striking op-ed published in the Global Times, which predicted that China would be the next major country to cut rates to zero.

nothing in Q posts about the netherlands that i can find, other than their central bank mentioned

may be noteworthy or not, but

the rothschilds oil company BP used to have split HQs in both london and the netherlands

when soros launched his first quantum fund, it immediately had offices in london, nyc and the netherlands

while the netherlands own a very disproportional share of US equities, the the largest foreign owners of US equities by far are the money laundering corruption centers such as the cayman islands, england, canada and luxemberg.

in general, europe as a whole owns our equities and much of it appears to be criminal wealth from offshore money laundering centers. Asia holds our long term debt by contrast.

Angola hits 'Princess' dos Santos with asset freeze

Angola has frozen the assets of Isabel dos Santos, the billionaire daughter of the country's previous leader, in a sign that President João Lourenço is taking a tougher line against the former first family. Since ending José Eduardo dos Santos' nearly 40-year grip on power in 2017, Lourenço has been trying to erase the influence of his predecessor and reform sub-Saharan Africa's third-largest economy.

The move against Isabel dos Santos comes as the ex-president's son, José Filomeno de Sousa, faces corruption charges, accused of helping transfer $500 million from the sovereign wealth fund.

Called "Africa's wealthiest woman", Isabel dos Santos amassed a fortune estimated at more than $2 billion through stakes in Angolan companies including banks and the telecoms firm Unitel, earning her the nickname "the Princess". She chaired the state oil company Sonangol before being sacked by Lourenço months after he came to power.

A court document dated Dec. 23 said the government believed Isabel dos Santos, her husband Sindika Dokolo and Mário Leite da Silva, chairman of Banco de Fomento Angola (BFA), had caused the state losses of more than $1 billion.

"The state through its companies Sodiam (a diamond marketing firm) and Sonangol transferred enormous quantities of foreign currency to companies abroad whose beneficiaries are the defendants, without receiving the agreed return," the court said. "The defendants recognize the existence of the debt but allege that they do not have the means to pay." A Lisbon-based spokesman for Isabel dos Santos said she had not yet issued an official statement on the court ruling.

Dokolo said a statement was being prepared. Reuters was unable to reach da Silva, and BFA did not answer calls seeking comment.

Isabel dos Santos has previously denied wrongdoing during her father's time in office.

She tweeted late on Monday: "I would like to leave a message of tranquillity and confidence to my teams … We will continue, every day, in every business, doing our best and fighting for what I believe in for Angola. The road is long, the truth will prevail. United we stand stronger."

The asset freeze applies to personal bank accounts of dos Santos, Dokolo and da Silva in Angola and stakes they hold in Angolan firms including Unitel, BFA and ZAP MIDIA. Dos Santos is believed to live in Portugal and Britain and to have a significant portion of her wealth offshore. The court said the central bank would ensure that no funds leave the Angolan bank accounts of the three accused.

The boards of each of the nine Angolan companies affected by the asset freeze must ensure that the relevant stakes are not sold and that no profits from the shares are transferred to the accused.

Maritime Law - and how the different Law`s is for different kinds of people - People vs Individuals.

How the courts see the jurisdiction on land, vs sea

Are most people actually under Maritime law?

If every Birth Certificate are sold, the people are basically under something called corporate law? since their own birth cerificate are "sold" then the legal "parent" of that person if now the "state"? Unless you pay off all your debts, then create your own business in your own "copyrighted" name to get your own person to be the sole authority over the self?

Different laws and juridstictions will have to apply here.

Birth certificate sold = slave to another who own your number?

"When I looked at my own Birth Certificate, I noticed it was a copy of the original. So I went through old boxes and baby books that my Mom had saved before she died and found what I was looking for - my original Birth Certificate. It was brittle and yellowed with decades of age but - wow - it was NOT the original!

What I have learned since is kind of like discovering that you are part of the Matrix. It seems none of us have our original Birth Certificates - they are all copies. And the copies have a serial number on them, issued on special bank Bond paper and authorized by "The American bank Note Company." Huh?

The truth is stranger than fiction. But here it is:

It seems that back in 1913 the United States was short of cash. By the end of World War I, wartime costs had depleted the treasury and there were several really bad financial panics. The country needed to print more money than it had as equity to restore confidence in the money supply and get the economy back on its feet.

When you or I need more money, we use something as collateral and go to a bank for a loan. When a country needs more money it has to go somewhere also. But in 1913 there wasn't anywhere to go. So the US created the Federal Reserve Act. This established a private central bank (The Federal Reserve bank) that would regulate the amount of money the US government was allowed to borrow and put in circulation. It also would expect to be repaid, like any bank, with interest.

After only 20 years things went from bad to worse. During Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency, in 1933, the US was unable to pay its debt. The county was bankrupt. The private banks that made up the Federal Reserve demanded their money and Roosevelt responded. He had to use the only thing left of any value to pay the banks and continue doing business with them - the citizens of our country. Us."

The American bank Note Bldg. American bank Note Company is a subsidiary of American banknote Corporation and products range from currencies and credit cards to passports, driver's licenses, and birth certificates.

In the USA, citizens have never obtained their original Birth Certificates - what they possess is a copy. Furthermore, these 'copies' have a serial number on them, issued on special bank Bond paper and authorized by "The American bank Note Company". (More on this later).

The original birth or naturalization record for every U.S. Citizen is held with Washington, D.C. and the property and assets of every living U.S. Citizen is pledged as collateral for the National Debt.

China's digital yuan takes shape with new encryption law

Beijing enhances control over tools crucial to developing blockchain. China rolls out new rules governing online encryption Wednesday, paving the way for a digital version of the yuan and taking greater control over cyberspace. The national cryptography law, established in October, makes government responsible for setting encryption standards covering both the state and industries. Encryption is divided into three categories – core, common and commercial – and the law grants the Communist Party authority over all three.

Core encryption protects highly classified state secrets, while common encryption safeguards sensitive national data. Beijing will exert strict control over these two categories. The law encourages commercial encryption, geared toward business and private use, as a tool for developing industries. Meanwhile, the central bank is preparing to make China the first large country to mint its own digital currency. The People's bank of China plans a virtual yuan, anticipating that it will decrease the workload at financial institutions. The digital currency also is expected to provide China with greater insight into the financial activities of its citizens.

This virtual yuan will depend on blockchain technology to prevent fraud, and the continued development of blockchain demands advances in encryption. Around the time the cryptography law was enacted, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced plans to devote state resources toward blockchain technology. The legislation thus is seen as crucial for advancing both blockchain and the digital currency. Chinese authorities have tightened regulations on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Officials look to employ blockchain in preventing fraud related to wiring funds overseas and falsifying records along the supply chain as well as the manufacturing and distribution networks.

China's blockchain industry will grow to 459 million yuan ($65.6 million) in 2022 with the help of state support, the Qianzhan Industry Research Institute estimates, up from just 67 million yuan last year.

central bank Gold Hoarding Hits 50-Year High

While dozens of the world's economic leaders participate in extreme monetary easing policy, central banks have also been hoarding gold. central banks accumulated over 668 tons in gold purchases this year, which is more than 2018's record numbers. In fact, the key drivers in gold demand this year stemmed from central bank purchases, most of which were bought (390 tons) during the first two quarters of 2019.

central bank Gold Purchases in 2019 Surpass Last Year's 50-Year Milestone

During the last few months of 2019, economists have been warning of worldwide economic calamity. Moreover, at least 37 developed central banks have participated in significant monetary easing practices like large-scale overnight repos and slashing interest rates. Every time one of the banks cuts a nation's interest rate or fuels the country's private banks with stimulus, they cite a weak economy, lack of liquidity, and rising inflation. However, most people don't know that while central planners are toying with the global economy, they're also purchasing gold in mass quantity. Despite gold bug Peter Schiff's recent opinion, BTC prices outshined gold gains this year. Still, gold had a very good year touching an all-time high at $1,542 per ounce and gained more than 10% this year. One of the biggest reasons for gold's significant rise was due to central bank purchases.

Chinese President Xi Installs Finance Experts To Avoid "Lurking, Devastating Debt Bombs"

The Chinese president has put 12 former executives at state-run financial institutions in top posts across the nation amid fears of a financial meltdown.

As China struggles to deal with the slowdown of the world's second-largest economy, it has embarked on a new strategy of placing financial experts in provinces to manage risks and rebuild regional economies.

Since last year, Chinese President Xi Jinping (???) has put 12 former executives at state-run financial institutions or regulators in top posts across the nation's 31 provinces, regions and municipalities, including some who have grappled with banking and debt difficulties that have raised fears of a financial meltdown. Only two top provincial officials had such financial background before the last leadership reshuffle in 2012, according to Reuters research.

Among the experts promoted is Beijing Vice Mayor Yin Yong (??) a former deputy central bank governor, and Shandong Deputy Provincial Governor Liu Qiang (??), who rose through the nation's biggest commercial banks, from Agricultural bank of China (??????) to bank of China (????).

Another newly promoted official, Chongqing Vice Mayor Li Bo (??), had until this year led the central bank's monetary policy department.

The appointments - overseeing economies larger than those of small countries - would appear to put those officials in the fast lane as China prepares a personnel reshuffle in 2022, when about half of the 25 members of the Politburo could be replaced, including Chinese Vice Premier Liu He (??), who is leading economic reform while doubling as chief negotiator in trade talks with the US.

"bankers are now in demand, as local governments are increasingly exposed to financial risks," said Feng Chucheng, a partner at Plenum, an independent research platform in Hong Kong. "These ex-bankers and regulators are given the task of preventing and mitigating major financial risks," he said.

The appointments have come as economic growth has slowed to its weakest in nearly three decades, while government infrastructure investment has fallen. Five regional banks were hit with management or liquidity problem this year, raising the prospect of devastating debt bombs lurking in unexpected corners. "We need to be well-prepared with contingency plans," Xinhua news agency said after a major annual economic meeting headed by Xi this month. The economy faced "increasing downward economic pressure amid intertwined structural, institutional and cyclical problems," it said.

With pressures mounting, local governments are expecting to take the lead in managing their financial scares and cutting the cost of rescue with local intervention, analysts said. "Appointing financial vice governors to provinces can help better integrate financial policies into local practice, and to prevent financial risks beforehand," said He Haifeng (???), director of Institute of Financial Policy at the Chinese Academy of Social Science, a government think tank. "Such appointments have also showcased a change of manner in official appointments," He said. Financial executives were long shunned for leadership positions.

banks were nationalized after the Chinese Communist Party took power in 1949 and many bankers were purged during the Cultural Revolution. Xi started to stress the importance of financial expertise and to elevate the status of executives in 2017.

"Political cadres, especially the senior ones, must work hard to learn financial knowledge and be familiar with financial sectors," Xi said in a national meeting on financial affairs.
Half of the 12 former financial executives elevated to provincial leadership posts under Xi were born after 1970.

Liaoning Vice Governor Zhang Lilin ( ???), 48, a veteran banker who spent two decades in the nation's third-largest lender, Agricultural bank of China, was appointed days after three state-controlled financial institutions announced investment in the then-troubled bank of Jinzhou (????)

Trading a Dove for Two Hawks: A Look at the Fed's 2020 Voters

Dove Kashkari, centrist Kaplan replace hawks George, Rosengren. Somewhat hawkish-leaning Mester and Harker also gain the vote.
Federal Reserve projections show no interest-rate changes next year but the annual rotation among voters could still influence policy as incoming members include an outspoken dove while two hawks depart.

Minneapolis Fed chief Neel Kashkari, who called vocally for rate cuts during 2019,
(and has never done ANYTHING remotely tied to the level of power he has now-also thought he was going to be Cal's governor too)
is the clear dove among the four new voters. He joins alongside Robert Kaplan from Dallas, Philadelphia's Patrick Harker and Loretta Mester from Cleveland. Each of them, along with every other Fed official, forecast no change in rates in 2020 in the dot plot published on Dec. 11 – a striking demonstration of unity as the country heads into a U.S. presidential election year.

They replace Kansas City Fed President Esther George and Boston's Eric Rosengren, hawks who both dissented against all three rate cuts this year. The others departing are dove James Bullard from St. Louis, who wanted a half-point rather than quarter-point cut in September, and Chicago's Charles Evans, who also supported easier monetary policy to ensure the Fed lifts inflation to its 2% target on a sustainable basis.

The yearly voter rotation among regional Fed presidents can foreshadow looming splits over policy that generate dissents, depending on who gets the vote and how strongly they disagree with their colleagues. But it generally won't dictate the path of policy. That's because Fed Chairman Jerome Powell can probably count on the support of the Board of Governors, plus New York Fed President John Williams, who also wields a permanent FOMC vote. That means Powell has six votes against the four in the hands of the remaining regional Fed chiefs, in the rare event that all four voted the same way against him.
Here's what the four new voters have recently said about their outlooks.

Mester (somewhat hawkish)

The Cleveland Fed president is probably the most hawkish of the four, though her recent comments that policy is now in a "good spot" following three cuts don't show any current pressure for a change. That said, the PhD economist and long-time Fed insider said she hadn't favored cutting rates three times. As a result, she may start pushing for tighter policy if inflation picks up with unemployment at a 50-year low.

Kashkari (dove)

Minneapolis Fed chief Neel Kashkari was an outspoken advocate for cutting rates last year when inflation failed to pick up as expected. He's argued the central bank should commit to not raising rates again until core inflation rises back to 2% on a sustained basis. The remarks suggest Kashkari won't be pushing to raise rates any time soon, and will make the case for allowing inflation to run above 2% without the Fed hitting the policy breaks – in order to demonstrate its commitment to achieving that target on a sustainable basis.

Kaplan (centrist)

The Dallas Fed chief sees a sluggish economy in 2020, so things would have to deteriorate for him to back easing policy further. He'd been open to easing earlier in 2019 after the yield curve inverted. But he told Bloomberg Television on Dec. 18 that with the curve sloping upward, Fed policy is probably in the right place. Nor did he sound worried about inflation, saying the pricing power of businesses has been eroded by technology and he expects inflation to be "muted for some period of time." He has never dissented since joining the Fed in 2015.
Harker (centrist with hawkish bent)

Philadelphia's Harker spoke out several times against the Fed's rate cuts this year, which he said were unwarranted because the economy appeared to be weathering uncertainty caused by trade tension between the U.S. and China. That could signal he'd favor raising rates sooner rather than later to stay ahead of inflation amid very low unemployment. He has never dissented at an FOMC meeting since joining the Fed in 2015.

Q Research General #9775: Night Shift On It 5:5!!! Edition

China to Scrap Benchmark Lending Rate in Shift to New System

China's central bank ordered lenders to adopt a new loan-pricing regime for all credit from next year, marking an end to the previous benchmark and another step toward liberalizing the financial system.

Financial institutions should stop using the old lending rate as the pricing reference for all credit from January, while gradually converting existing loans to a new base – the loan prime rate – from March to August, the People's bank of China said Saturday. The one-year lending rate had provided the previous anchor for loans across the economy. The move could lower costs for some of the 152 trillion yuan ($21.7 trillion) in yuan-denominated outstanding loans held by financial institutions and boost economic growth, even though it won't involve a straightforward cut to interest rates. The LPR – set at 4.15% for one-year tenor in December – is lower than the benchmark rate at 4.35%.

Against the backdrop of the long-term slowdown in the economy, policy makers are opening the financial system to outsiders more while making it more market driven in some respects. At the same time, officials are keen to control the pace of change as they try to weed out bad debt while keeping the system stable.

The transition is "in line with the need to further reduce the financing costs for the real economy, although there's still a long way to go," said Fan Ruoying, an analyst at the bank of China's Institute of International Finance in Beijing. The move will present more challenges for commercial banks because the interest margin will be squeezed and lenders will need to improve their pricing ability, she said.
Revamped Rate

The LPR, revamped to become the benchmark for new loans this year, is based on the interest rate for one-year loans that 18 banks offer their best customers. banks submit the quoted price each month in the form of a spread over the rate of the PBOC's medium-term loans. "By now close to 90% of new loans are priced with the LPR, but outstanding loans with floating rates are still based on the benchmark lending rate," the central bank said in a separate statement. That means the real lending cost "can't reflect changes in market interest rates," it said.

The move may help make monetary policy more effective, resolving a long-standing problem in which cheap funding that the PBOC offers banks doesn't result in cheaper loans to businesses. In the new scenario when all borrowing is based on the LPR, the supply of central bank funding or cuts to the rates of medium-term loans will in theory push down the LPR, and reduce the cost of all lending to businesses.
Old System

Most central banks govern the price of money in an economy via the rate that banks are charged to borrow cash over short time periods. In China, that approach had been divided into two steps. First, the PBOC guided prices for funding in the inter-bank market via its reverse repurchase agreements and medium-term lending facility. Then, it set the benchmark rates that were used to price mortgages, business loans and other commercial lending – the one-year and five-year lending rates.

While the interest rate of home mortgages should also be converted to the LPR, the new borrowing cost must be the same as the current charges to "reflect the request to regulate the property market," the central bank said in the statement. Home mortgages could be repriced in the future, based on the LPR, it said.

The PBOC's latest efforts show its commitment to making the interest-rate system more market-driven, though controls on deposits remain for now. The step-by-step approach appears to be trying to open up the system without shrinking interest margins too rapidly and adding more pressure to smaller lenders.

Finality?

You'll be lucky to see finality in 50 years. It could take a century.

Look at Russia (easier to do for those who followed Q's advice to Learn Russian)
Putin has been cleaning up corruption for 19 years now. He is only just beginning to disentangle from the central bank this year. And there are still plenty of Globalists entrenched in power who are being careful to keep the bulk of their lawbreaking outside of Russia. But that does not make them good guys.

The USA is going to have a similar long wind down. Criminals will keep trying to get the corruption restarted, and will need to be sniffed out and taken down. The culture needs to be changed and that requires minimum 2 generations, 2 * 20 years = 40 years.

THE PLUTOCRACY CARTEL

AN ENTRENCHED GLOBAL ELITE OF VAST WEALTH HAS SPREAD ITS TENTACLES OVER THE EARTH WIELDING EXTRAORDINARY POWER OVER WORLD AFFAIRS

.-=====================-.

According to this site, with its extensive leads for additional digging, the book Bloodlines of the Illuminati is too simplistic to explain the full depth and breadth of the Globalist Financial Criminal Conspiracy Network. You also need to look at groups and organizations and their interconnections.

While there may indeed be 13 major powerful bloodline families mostly in control, there are likely to be many other bloodlines that serve them in various sorts of minion roles, and it is these minions (remember what the yellow color means) that manage the flow of wealth into the Cabal. The vigorish always goes through several levels before it gets to the Godfather of the family.

So, there are Nordic Royal Families, Jewish banking Families, artificial families like the Roman Catholic Church, corrupt Masonic Lodges, Corporations, organized crime gangs like Mafia, nDrangheta, Hezbollah and Russia's Thieves-By-Law and even many NGOs.

There is a shadowy group of Plutocrats running multinational corporations, controlling the media narrative, manipulating the money supply, influencing governments, generating chaos, and provoking wars in order to further their agendas. These people are very real and extremely dangerous. They operate in the shadows, safely out of the light of public scrutiny. They manage by proxy, using cut-outs to do their bidding, never allowing themselves to get their hands dirty? Politicians are used and discarded, giving the illusion that they are the ones in control. The controllers' identities are hidden through a corporate shell game of holding companies and secret banking tax havens, in places like the Cayman Islands and Luxemburg. A thirst for publicity and a lust for the spotlight are liabilities if you want to excel in this endeavor. Better to rule from the shadows where your identity and intentions are unknown.
… The people running the show are mostly driven, professional, sociopaths with no discernible traces of compassion.
… Some of our best-known leaders and public figures are actually psychopaths, and what makes a psychopath most effective is their overall lack of empathy. They simply do not have the ability to imagine or feel someone else's pain, and this frees them up to cross boundaries that the rest of us would never dream of crossing. They can operate without limits, giving them an advantage over everyone else. They are professional liars and damn proud of it.
… You do not make it to the top of the food chain by being nice, honest and fair; you get there by force, deception, and influence. You get there through violence, if necessary. You get there through blackmail and extortion. It takes planning and funding, patience and practice, and a mastery of how to use fear to control other people. Those running the world are playing a much different game than the rest of us, and the way they see it, there are no rules. Or at least the rules do not apply to them.
… Their plan is to change society in every country in a way that provides them a reason to impose a world government. The creation of a world central bank and an electronic world currency, in conjunction with the elimination of cash, would allow them complete control to dictate financial policy around the globe. Their policies would be enforced by their world army, and a micro-chipped population would live in fear of having their electronic currency deleted if they ever crossed the world government.

Cryptocurrency Act of 2020 Hits U.S. Congress - Big Tech vs The bankers

106 years ago almost to the day, the Federal Reserve Act was created, written in secret by the elite bankers, passed under the cover of darkness on December 23rd, 1913 in Washington DC while nobody was looking. It brought to life a new paradigm of control over the world's monetary system which has shaped the last century.

Fast forward to today, the Federal Reserve, which is a private central bank, is pumping unsustainable amounts of money into the system to the tune of roughly $100 billion a day, prolonging its inevitable collapse.

So what is the real, current situation of the US & global financial system? If you listen to the government, doesn't matter which government, everything is fine. In fact, everything is better than fine, as the US stock markets continue to hit new all-time highs seemingly every week.

Find out how the US government and the bankers are scrambling to get ahead of big tech in the next industrial revolution which will transform the global monetary and financial system.

The Wealth Redistribution Scam that Is "Inflation"

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/wealth-redistribution-scam-inflation

Authored by Thortsen Polleit via The Mises Institute,

The world over people are told that central banks pursue "price stability" by making sure that consumer goods prices do not rise by more than 2 percent per annum. This is, of course, a big sham. If the prices of goods rise over time, it does not take that much to understand that prices do not remain stable. And if the prices of goods increase over time, it necessarily means that the purchasing power of the money unit declines.

As money loses its purchasing power, income and wealth are stealthily redistributed. Some individuals and groups of people are enriched at the expense of others. Savers and workers are swindled out of their deserved income and retirement benefits, while those who own goods that rise in value or who borrow money typically reap a windfall profit. Clearly, the banking industry is a major beneficiary of monetary debasement.

"Inflation" Is a Rise in the Quantity of Money
central banks are the very source of the phenomenon that all prices of goods tend to rise over time. They hold the money production monopoly and increase - in close cooperation with commercial banks - the outstanding quantity of money through credit expansion, an increase in the supply of credit that is not backed by real savings. It goes without saying that it is rather profitable to be active in the money-production business.

The increase in the quantity of money results, and necessarily so, in higher prices compared to a situation in which the quantity of money has not been increased. This is no arbitrary assertion but stems from logical reasoning: a rise in people's money holding lowers the marginal utility of the additional money unit, meaning that the marginal utility of other goods that can be exchanged against money rises.

Consider the case in which the quantity of money in the hands of market agents rises. People will then exchange money balances (which have, from the viewpoint of the money holder, lost in marginal utility) against other vendible items (which have gone up in marginal utility). As people exchange money units against other goods, money prices go up (compared to a situation in which the quantity of money has not been increased).

The Mainstream Explanation and Its Problems
Of course, in real life additional factors (such as, for instance, demand changes, market introduction of new products, etc.) interfere with the link between the increase in the quantity of money and the rising prices of goods. This, however, by no means refutes the economic insight that a rise in the quantity of money in the economy leads to goods prices that will be higher than if the quantity of money not been increased.

The increase in the quantity of money is what deserves to be called inflation; rising prices are just a possible symptom of an increase in the quantity of money. However, mainstream economists typically define inflation as rising consumer goods prices. This, however, is problematic for at least two reasons. First, by equating inflation with rising prices, the real reason for higher prices, namely the rise in the quantity of money, is obscured.

This, in turn, gives rise to arbitrary explanations of why goods prices may go up: sheikhs who force up oil prices, unions that cause wages to rise, an overall buoyant economy that creates shortages in production factors, and so forth. All these pseudo-explanations deflect from the real culprit - the central bank, in cooperation with commercial banks, which issues new money, so that people no longer understand who, in fact, harms them.

Asset Price Inflation
Second, changes in consumer goods prices do not tell us the entire story, for they do not take into account asset prices such as, for instance, stock prices, housing prices, and land prices. However, the newly injected money can be expected to not only push up consumer goods prices, but also drive up asset prices. And like rising consumer prices, rising asset prices diminish the purchasing power of money.

In other words: asset price inflation destroys the purchasing power of money in the same way that price inflation of consumer goods does. Take, for instance, stock market prices. If prices rise from, say, $100 to $200, the purchasing power of the money unit would drop by 50 percent. The owner of the stock becomes richer, while the holder of dollars become poorer. In fact, this is precisely what has been happening in the last decades.

Russian government plans to use rainy day fund to buy Sberbank from central bank: two sources

MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Russian government plans to use the country's National Wealth Fund (NWF) to buy the central bank's stake in Sberbank (SBER.MM), a state banker and a source familiar with the plan told Reuters on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said that Russia was discussing whether the central bank should continue to hold a controlling stake in the country's largest lender Sberbank, confirming an earlier Reuters report. The second source said that under the plan the central bank would transfer any profits it earned from the sale of Sberbank to the state budget. A third source, a well-placed financial market insider, said the same. The first two sources did not say how much the government, via the Finance Ministry, was ready to pay for the central bank's stake in Sberbank.

The central bank currently owns 50% plus one share in Sberbank, which is worth 2.8 trillion roubles ($45.45 billion)based on Sberbank's current market capitalization. The Finance Ministry, which is managing the NWF, declined to comment. The central bank also declined to comment. Oleg Osipov, spokesman for Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, told Reuters that the government was continuing to discuss the issue but that no final decision had been made.

Is Open Societies the bagman for Planned Parenthood?

Soros is in every Congressional hearing. Soros is in every Town Hall. Soros is in every City Council

Soros is the key. Collapsing his empire is key.

China Widens Economic Policy Blitz With Cash Injection Pledge

The Chinese government is trying to set the economy up for a stronger start to 2020, with a multi-pronged policy push ranging from easier monetary settings to freer trade.

The latest pledge came late Monday, when Premier Li Keqiang signaled that further cuts in the amount of cash that banks have to park as reserves will be forthcoming.
In theory, that will free up funds to lend to private-sector companies that have struggled to access loans this year.
not….gonna….work.

The funding promise follows a wide-ranging set of initiatives to boost the non-state sector announced Sunday, and a fresh round of tariff cuts designed to spur domestic demand released on Monday.

After a bruising year that's seen economic output growth slow to the weakest pace in almost 30 years, modest signs of stabilization have begun to appear in incoming data. On top of that, trade negotiators this month succeeded in staving off another increase in tariffs on Chinese exports by U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking in the western city of Chengdu on Monday, Li said the government will continue to cut the reserve ratio for banks and look into increasing re-lending and re-discounting quotas, steps that can also help reduce overall borrowing costs for small firms.

The private sector this year has faced difficulty accessing credit, amid a multi-year effort to reduce financial risk and rising defaults among corporate bond issuers. Despite an increase in overall credit growth, there's evidence that not all lending is going to productive purposes.
Upgraded Outlook

Nevertheless, economists have upgraded their outlook for economic growth in 2020. Gross domestic product expansion will come in at 5.9% as easing trade tensions and the prospect of lower bank borrowing costs boost confidence, according to a survey of analysts and traders last week. Survey respondents see policy makers maintaining a measured pace of easing into next year, trimming the price of central bank medium-term lending by 15 basis points with the first cut coming in the first quarter.

The Ministry of Finance on Monday published a list of 859 types of products that will enjoy tariffs lower than the standard rates for this year. It included frozen pork as a key item aimed at alleviating shortages of the meat due to the outbreak of African swine fever.

In 2018, imports of the listed items totaled some $389 billion, or about 18% of China's total imports of $2.14 trillion, according to Bloomberg calculations.

Steps announced Sunday by the State Council, China's cabinet, aim to help private firms gain better market access and equal regulatory treatment to their state-owned peers. Among actions to be taken are the further opening of key industries to non-state investors, including energy and finance, and also facilitating equity and bond sales by private-sector businesses.

The private sector, which accounts for 9 out of every 10 new jobs created in China, has been hardest hit thanks to what critics say is a regulatory regime that tilts business conditions in favor of state-owned companies.

Deutsche bank whistleblower hits back at regulator

A whistleblower who highlighted suspicious activity at a Dubai firm has hit back after the publication of a damaging finding against her. In October Anna Waterhouse said Dubai regulators had failed to investigate "suspicious circumstances" at Kaloti, the emirate's biggest gold refiner. Subsequently the regulator found she "acted without integrity" in another matter. That finding was designed to discredit her, Ms Waterhouse has told the BBC. The DFSA said it had followed "full and fair process". Both Kaloti and the DFSA have denied any wrongdoing.

Ms Waterhouse, a former general counsel at Deutsche bank, revealed to the BBC's Panorama on 28 October that the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) had failed to investigate a "catalogue of suspicious circumstances" at Kaloti.

Kaloti was used by a drug gang to launder money, Panorama found. But less than eight weeks after the film was broadcast, the DFSA published a finding in a separate matter claiming Ms Waterhouse had "acted without integrity". Ms Waterhouse sought to appeal against that finding and prevent it from from being published. But permission to appeal was refused. "With this decision the Dubai Financial Services Authority has sent a very loud, very clear message to the market about what happens to whistleblowers in their jurisdiction. They get punished," she said. "I reported serious money laundering suspicions about Kaloti and financial transactions facilitated by my former employer. "Instead of investigating the suspected wrongdoing, the DFSA turned on me and have campaigned for years to discredit and undermine me." As head of compliance and general counsel at Deutsche bank in the Middle East, Ms Waterhouse was legally and ethically obliged to report suspicions of money laundering to the authorities.

Colleagues told her in 2012 that Kaloti was withdrawing sums of cash that were so large the money had to be transported in wheelbarrows.
Years later, a joint investigation by BBC Panorama and the French media agency Premieres Lignes discovered that Kaloti had also used cash to pay for 3.6 tonnes of gold from a gang that laundered money from the sale of illegal drugs all over Europe.

Ms Waterhouse filed suspicious activity reports with the Dubai Financial Services Authority and the central bank of the United Arab Emirates. That prompted the DFSA to launch investigations, but its focus quickly turned not on Kaloti, but onto her and her employer. The DFSA investigation eventually found bankers in Deutsche bank's Dubai office had broken regulations in a separate case involving its private wealth division. No clients lost money but the breach of the rules meant the bank faced serious sanctions. However, Ms Waterhouse was the only manager at Deutsche bank sanctioned - a finding which she has been fighting through the courts for six years.

On 10 December she was unable for medical reasons to attend a hearing of the DFSA's Financial Markets Tribunal, sitting in London, where she was seeking permission to appeal the DFSA's decision. She applied for a postponement to the Dubai courts, headed by retired British judge Sir Jeremy Cooke, attaching a medical certificate. This was refused. The DFSA said the Court determined that the medical certificate supplied by Ms Waterhouse was "wholly inadequate to support the question of adjournment."
'Fair process'

The DFSA told the BBC the release of the decision was "not in any way linked to the story on BBC Panorama". It said the decision represented "the final outcome of a full and fair process" in which Ms Waterhouse had availed herself of avenues of review and appeal. Following the publication of the DFSA's decision, the Dubai court has also awarded legal costs against her, likely to run into tens of thousands of pounds. However Ms Waterhouse said the hearing her case was staffed and paid for by the DFSA. "The process is inherently unfair," she said.

Steven Mnuchin Explains Why $1.5 Trillion In $100 Bills Have Disappeared
……………continued…………………
In 2018, the Federal Reserve bank of Chicago illustrated a correlation between low interest rates and high currency demand, though it also noted outside factors could help explain swelling demand.

The bank estimated that 80% of all $100 bills last year were actually in circulation in foreign countries, and explained that residents in other countries, particularly those with unstable financial systems, often use the notes as a safe haven.

It's not just US dollar that are disappearing, however.

Few are as perplexed by the fate of the missing cash as the German central bank: according to the Bundesbank more than 150 billion euros are being hoarded in Germany. This has led the European central bank, and others, to ask the public for help.

"Everyone says that they are not hoarding cash but the money is clearly somewhere," said Henk Esselink, head of the issue and circulation section in the ECB's currency management division.

"People hide their money everywhere," said Sven Bertelmann, head of the Bundesbank's National Analysis Centre in Mainz, Germany. Sometimes bank notes are buried in the garden, where they start decomposing, or hidden in attics, where they are used by mice for building nests. "It happens again and again that people keep money in an envelope and then they shred it by mistake," Bertelmann said. "We pick up the bank notes with tweezers and then start to put them together, like a jigsaw puzzle."

Australia's central bank says its best guess is that only around a quarter of the bank notes in circulation are used for everyday transactions. Up to 8% of cash is used in the shadow economy-tax avoidance or illegal payments-while as much as 10% could have been lost. That is $7.6 billion Australian dollars ($5.2 billion) missing at the beach or in couch cushions… Or simply lost in a "boating accident" to avoid the taxman until the rainy days arrive.

The biggest use of cash is as a store of wealth "in safes, under beds and at the back of cupboards, both here in Australia and elsewhere around the world," Mr. Lowe, the RBA governor, said.

Swiss National bank officials likewise found that hoarding of Swiss francs jumped around the year 2000, likely motivated by fear of the Y2K bug infecting computer systems, the bursting of the dot-com bubble, the September 11 terrorist attacks and introduction of the euro. The financial crisis that began in 2007 encouraged people to stash even more.

Meanwhile, with a financial crisis looming - and getting closer by the day - for some countries, such as New Zealand, making money disappear is becoming a national pastime. Around a third of New Zealand's new bank notes headed overseas in 2017, up from 6% four years earlier. That happened around the time that tourism overtook dairy as the country's main export money-spinner, leading officials to speculate on the role played by currency exchanges, especially in Asia.

The trail mostly ran cold after that. The bank could only identify the whereabouts of around 25% of New Zealand's cash. The rest, of about 75%, has disappeared.

"Our sense is that we're in the same boat as a lot of other central banks out there," said Christian Hawkesby, assistant governor at the RBNZ. "We can't fully explain why holdings of cash are rising and where they are going."

China Faces "Systemic Risk" From Debt Cross-Default "Chain Reaction", Top central bank Advisor Warns

Just days after China's "moment of reckoning" in the dollar bond market arrived, when China was rocked by not only the biggest dollar bond default in two decades but also the first default by a massive state-owned commodities trader and Global 500 company, when Tianjin's Tewoo Group announced the results of its "unprecedented" debt restructuring which saw a majority of its bondholders accepting heavy losses, and which according to rating agencies qualified as an event of default, last week a top adviser to China's central bank warned of a possible "chain reaction" of defaults among the country's thousands of local government financing vehicles after one of these entities nearly missed a payment this month.

Besides the record number of default in the local bond market and the recent groundbreaking default of the dollar bonds issued by the state-owned Tewoo, concern has grown in recent months over the vast accumulation of debt in LGFVs, especially after the near default of one such financing platform, Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone Investment Development Group, in the Chinese autonomous region of Inner Mongolia earlier this month.

To avoid a cascading collapse in confidence among China's creditors, Ma proposed one potential measure to allow for distressed LGFVs to be taken over by healthier one, very much similar to how a record number of China's small and medium banks were "resolved" in 2019, despite at least two bank runs being triggered last month as previously reported.

The comments by Ma, a former Deutsche bank economist, come as concerns grow in China's central government about rising systemic risk. At a high-level planning session in Beijing earlier this month, at which many of the next year's economic challenges are discussed among senior officials, the avoidance of systemic risk was listed as a priority.

"At the meeting, China's top policymakers stressed stable macro policy with flexible fine-tuning, and pledged to prevent systematic financial risks," Mizuho Securities economist Serena Zhou said in a report to investors this month, noting that "such a pledge came the same day as Hohhot Economic and Technological Development Zone Investment Development Group, a LGFV 100 per cent owned by the Hohhot local government, reportedly missed its bond payment."

And while the Hohhot group's repayment deadline was eventually extended after the group failed to repay a 1 billion yuan ($142 million) privately placed bond earlier this month, the situation grabbed the attention of both creditors in other similar LGFV situations as well as analysts.

As the FT notes, China's LGFVs have been key drivers of economic growth in China since the mid-1990s, backing many of the local infrastructure projects that have boosted growth rates in recent years. But they are also closely connected to China's shadow banking sector, making it difficult for central authorities to fully assess the risk connected to the groups.

Meanwhile, adding to Beijing's list of "default domino" default woes, in addition to rising fears about the stability of LGFVs, Bloomberg points out that the rising default tide is now impacting even one of China's wealthiest provinces, namely Shandong, where six privately owned companies have defaulted on their debt or come close to doing so in the last three months. With 68.1 billion yuan ($9.7 billion) in outstanding debt among those six companies alone, "the distress in Shandong has rattled even seasoned investors."

So to loosely paraphrase Ernest Hemingway, "How did you go bankrupt? Two ways: Gradually and then suddenly… and when you do, you take down all your friends down with you''.

That's precisely what China has in store for bondholders of its massive $40 trillion financial sector in the coming years.

Angry French Pensioners Cut Power To central bank, Hint At More To Come
"France's trade unions on Wednesday defended a series of illegal power cuts to 150,000 homes, thousands of companies and the bank of France in an effort to force the Macron government to quash its wide-ranging pension reform, according to Reuters.
The power cuts, illegal under French law, deepened a sense of chaos in the second week of nationwide strikes that have crippled transport, shut schools and brought more than half a million people onto the street against President Emmanuel Macron's reform."

Imagine this here. Macaroni lighting candles.

Day 8: Technocracy And central banks

t is common knowledge that the central banks of the world, like the Federal Reserve, control monetary policy for everyone, everywhere. central banks are an exclusive lot because in each case, each bank has only one customer - namely, the host nation's government. The Federal Reserve serves only the United States Treasury, for instance. The bank of England serves only the British government, and so on.

The influence wielded by central banks is felt in all areas of economic activity within the home nation as well as in surrounding countries. In the case of the Federal Reserve, which manages the most important reserve currency in the world, its activities are closely watched by economists and forecasters everywhere.

What most people don't know, however, is that the central bank collective has a central bank of its own: the bank for International Settlements (BIS). The BIS is located in Basle, Switzerland, and the vast majority of its operations and policies are shrouded in total secrecy. The BIS invents and directs policies for all other central banks and conversely, no central bank acts outside the policy structure set by the BIS.

In a 2018 Bloomberg Markets Special Report titled Welcome to the Elite Private Club Of the World's central bankers, a key fact about the BIS was revealed:

A Desperate ECB Wants To Eliminate The Eurozone's "Only Saving Grace"

Economists, conservative investors, and market observers have been issuing stern warnings for years regarding the severe impact of the current monetary policy direction.

In a recent statement, European central bank (ECB) Vice President Luis de Guindos warned of potential side effects and risks to the economy resulting directly from the central bank's policies. He outlined how a decade of extremely aggressive monetary interventions have resulted in an erosion of financial stability and now pose a threat to the eurozone's economic outlook. While he defended the bank's negative interest rate strategy as "supportive" of the overall economy, he did admit that, because of it, "we also note an increase in risk-taking which could, in the medium term, create financial-stability challenges".

This is a point that was also highlighted in the ECB's latest financial stability review, which found that the ultra-low interest rates have triggered excessive risk-taking, mainly by investment funds, insurers, and in certain real estate markets, thereby creating considerable stability concerns going forward. The report identified four main threats to financial stability for the block: asset mispricing, which sets the stage for a correction, corporate overindebtedness, which raises debt sustainability concerns, dangerously weak banking sector profitability, leading to increased risk-taking, and excessive risks taken in the non-bank financial sector, which could be facing "profitability and solvency challenges."

Although none of this is news to the responsible investor and to the reader who understands monetary history and the inevitable consequences of trying to forcibly twist basic economic laws, it still remains surprising that the ECB would publicly acknowledge it. The timing is even more striking, as the report, outlining the risks associated with the current monetary policy direction, came out very soon after the bank announced its decision to double down on it, cutting rates even lower and launching a new round of quantitative easing (QE).
Lagarde's "Solution"

As the ECB appears to be finally acknowledging the limitations and terrible side effects of its own monetary "cures," and as the eurozone economy continues to struggle, the central planners' focus seems to be shifting to other measures and tools in hopes of a growth revival. Their "solution" is for governments to deploy fiscal measures and to try to stimulate the sluggish euro area economy through spending.

The Federal Reserve is investigating the second significant disruption in 2019 of a payments service administered by the U.S. central bank.

Certain bank transactions were delayed Thursday after ACH – which stands for the automated clearinghouse system – experienced delays but is now up and running.

"ACH is operational," said Jean Tate, a spokeswoman at the Atlanta Fed. "There was an internal processing issue that delayed delivery of some files this morning. Technical teams are investigating the root cause of the issue."

The Atlanta Fed hosts the central bank's Retail Payments Office, processing ACH transactions.

ACH, or the automated clearing house, is a national system that processes batches of electronic funds transfers such as payroll, social security benefits, tax refunds, corporate payments to vendors and utility payments, according to the Fed's website. The commercial service handled 58.5 million transactions a day on average in 2018 with an average value of $1,760.

Earlier on Thursday several banks tweeted that they were experiencing issues.

ASTANA KAZAKHSTAN - NWO CAPITAL CITY PARADIGM [ASTANA = A SATAN]

A new capital of the New World Order.

These NWO directives to destroy the nationalist Trump are originating from the Trans-nationalist
army of the central bank - and New World Order leaders such as Soros, Clinton Foundation,
globalist world leaders who hate trump (EU Merkel, Theresa May, Brussels, London and now the
first & only new 21st Century capital of ASTANA.

A Multi-Billion Dollar Government City Built in the Desert from natural gas sales, and
Sales from it's Military Industrial Complex Named ASTANA in 1998; It has arisen as one
of the world's top ten intelligent communities in just 15 years!

Strangely, it has a Twin Towers memorial and murals of American Founding fathers in it's
gambling casinos though soon to become an ISLAMIC State which is now viciously persecuting
its freedom loving and Christian population.

Globalist Church leaders, the Pope, Cardinals, Saudi Oil Sheiks, government leaders,
top global business executives, banking cartel heads etc. all convene in Astana Ostensibly;
to promote world peace, Islam and plan the eventual replacement of Western capitals like
Washington DC as centers of culture, commerce and government.

What's really creepy here is that like Washington; It is a PLANNED REPLICA in so many aspects
of Washington DC and plans (along with Brussels, Rome Etc) to create a physical paradigm for
what a NEW WORLD ORDER city of light should look like!

John Kerry, Bill Clinton and Obama all visited Astana, Kazakhstan

Is the Fed's $3 Trillion in Loans to Trading Houses on Wall Street Legal?

By Pam Martens and Russ Martens: December 3, 2019 ~

Randal Quarles, Vice Chair for Supervision at the Federal Reserve
The House Financial Services Committee has released its memorandum outlining the topics that will be raised in its hearing tomorrow with Federal bank regulators, which will include Randal Quarles, Vice Chairman of Supervision at the Federal Reserve. Noticeably absent from the list of topics is what legislative authority the Federal Reserve has that gives it the legal power to be pumping out hundreds of billions of dollars each week in revolving loans to the trading houses of Wall Street.
Since September 17, the Federal Reserve has allowed its New York Fed branch to funnel approximately $3 trillion to unnamed trading houses on Wall Street, much of it at interest rates of less than 2 percent while the behemoth banks that own those trading houses charge their mom and pop credit card customers 17 percent on their credit cards. This looks like more of what Senator Bernie Sanders calls "socialism for the rich, and rugged, you're-on-your-own individualism for everyone else."
Since the Fed turned on its money spigot to Wall Street on September 17, not one hearing has been called in Congress to examine what gives the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the United States, the legal authority to provide cheap loans to the trading houses on Wall Street. These are the same Wall Street trading houses that blew themselves up with derivatives in 2008 and took down the U.S. economy in the greatest financial collapse since the Great Depression. Why should the Federal Reserve encourage more of that activity by providing cheap money?

Q Research General #9647: Page Does Madcow Edition

It's A Systemic Looting On A Massive Scale

Authored by Michael Krieger via Liberety Blitzkrieg blog,

The United States has historically bragged about its free and transparent markets. But what the Fed is doing today is pulling a dark curtain around the financing of this so-called free and transparent market. The public has no idea which Wall Street firms have received this $3 trillion or why they can't borrow it elsewhere. This kind of obfuscation by the Federal Reserve could actually stimulate distrust in the U.S. banking system. The Fed admitted as much in its most recent Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) minutes, writing that participation in the Fed's loan program "could become stigmatized."

- Wall Street on Parade: Is the Fed's $3 Trillion in Loans to Trading Houses on Wall Street Legal?

The business model of Wall Street is fraud.

- Bernie Sanders

Financial services as currently structured is the most pernicious, predatory and corrupt industry on earth. Moreover, it's the deliberately complex and opaque nature of the industry which then limits public debate when some problem arises and governments and central banks are called upon to take emergency measures to "save the system," which is just a euphemism for enormous sums of corporate welfare being funneled to people and institutions who couldn't survive otherwise.

It is systemic looting on a massive scale and the primary patrons of this ongoing and seemingly endless scheme are central banks. In the U.S. this means the Federal Reserve, which recently came back into the "market" with enormous new interventions in both the repo market and via renewed balance sheet expansion. I've read many of the smart takes on the repo crisis and still don't feel confident I know precisely what's going on. This is intentional.

Unelected central bankers throwing around billions upon billions gets almost no scrutiny, while impeachment theater dominates mass media 24/7. Which of these deserves more scrutiny?
This is how the public gets scammed. Look over here, while we loot the system quietly here.

- Michael Krieger (@LibertyBlitz) December 16, 2019
One of the main reasons big finance is able to pull off scam after scam in plain sight relates to the complexity, opacity and esoteric jargon associated with the industry. Repo is a perfect example. The market had a spasm in September and the Fed immediately rushed in with billions to bring the rate down without offering any transparency or a credible explanation of what was going on. Meanwhile, as the crisis continued over subsequent months and the central bank response grew larger and larger, we actually seem to be learning less with each passing day.

Instead of providing the public with the transparency it deserves, Fed officials run around pretending to be financial surgeons called in to perform an unexpected emergency operation on a patient after a freak accident. In reality, central banks are merely pumping billions into an already dead body while enriching connected and powerful individuals and institutions in the process. They know exactly what they're doing and we need to stop pretending otherwise.

When you hear QE, the only thing that should pop into your mind is upward wealth transfer. In addition to keeping a pernicious system afloat, that's all it does.

- Michael Krieger (@LibertyBlitz) December 17, 2019
While I'm grateful to those who've spent time trying to thoughtfully explain the mechanics of the repo crisis and why it happened, I think that's a sideshow at this point since nobody who really knows what's going on is talking. Instead, we should focus on the absurd and unconscionable lack of transparency with regard to Federal Reserve actions. As far as I know, we have no idea which parties are taking up this expanded central bank funding. Think about how criminally insane that is. We have no idea if it's driven by a troubled institution like Deutsche bank, hedge funds with over-leveraged trades, treasury issuance, a combination of these factors, or something else.

We don't know because they don't want us to know, and they don't want us to know because they don't want the public thinking or talking about it. It's at times like these when the totalitarian nature of central banking comes into crystal clear focus. What we have is government via unelected, unaccountable bankers. It's the opposite of self-government, and understanding this simple fact blows apart all the myths about our so-called democracy and freedom. Nothing of the sort exists in reality, and when push comes to shove, you're just a peasant living in an imperial oligarchy.

Latvian parliament approves Kazaks as next central bank governor

Latvia's parliament confirmed M?rti?? Kaz?ks as the next governor of the country's central bank today (December 12), local media reported, as his predecessor prepares to face trial on corruption charges.

Kaz?ks has been a member of the bank of Latvia's five-member council since August 2018. Before then, he worked in both the private sector and in academia. He was the deputy chief economist for the Swedish-based lender Swedbank from 2010 until taking up the central bank role,

central bankers in favour of climate change goals in mandates

A majority of officials at central banks and other public-sector institutions said they supported adding climate change risks to central bank mandates, at central banking's first Climate Risk Summit on December 12.

In the gathering held in Frankfurt, most participants embraced the adoption of green guidelines in policy areas ranging from reserves management, financial stability and monetary policy implementation.

Could be, and that seems to be the -or close to the- explanation given, but that's not something unforseen, sort of like the subprime bubble - they have extensive experience creating, inflating and popping bubbles throughout history. bankers (top level) pay attention to the Institute for Cyclical Research because everything operates on cycles, whether we know it or know why or not. Finance is no exception so they try to steer things in the direction they want (they clean up and get richer when the bust happens).

But also, if the FED calls in it's loans, other banks would have to compensate and that would throw them all off, don't you think? I don't see any way for any private central bank to insulate itself, they are all together and contagion will spread quickly.

central banks should collaborate on multicurrency CBDC - research
Lithuania's central bank notes national CBDC projects will not solve global payment inefficiencies

A co-ordinated approach from central banks is needed to understand the potential of a multicurrency central bank digital currency (CBDC), research from the central bank of Lithuania claims.

In an extensive report detailing the progress of CBDC development around the world, the Baltic central bank says the "little-researched idea" of a multi-currency CBDC "deserves more consideration".

"Multi-currency CBDC would help to avoid the danger of 'digital dollarisation' and a race among central banks,

Lagarde promises wide-ranging review of ECB monetary policy
ECB to form digital currency task force as Lagarde calls for EU action on green finance

Christine Lagarde made no surprise announcements in her first monetary policy announcement as president of the European central bank, keeping interest rates at their record low levels.

But she did signal that the ECB's forthcoming strategic review of its policy framework would be a wide-ranging exercise, in her press conference today (December 12). She said the ECB would convene a task force on creating a central bank-issued digital currency, or "digital euro", which should report in mid-2020.

Christine Lagarde convicted: IMF head found guilty of criminal charges over massive government payout
But former French finance minister, who faced potentially one year in jail, will not face any punishment

International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde has been convicted over her role in a controversial ?400m (£355m) payment to a businessman.

French judges found Ms Lagarde guilty of negligence for failing to challenge the state arbitration payout to the friend of former French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

The 60-year-old, following a week-long trial in Paris, was not given any sentence and will not be punished.

Q Research General #9618: Operators Are Standing By Edition

Why is Gold, Cash Worth Hundreds of Billions of Dollars Vanishing Into Thin Air?

While banks are printing more money than ever before, bunches of them inexplicably disappear, much like gold caches that are heavily relied on at times of political crisis.

As Goldman Sachs has pointed out, there are several strange trends in today's global economy, with one showing central banks (CBs) increasingly injecting money into electronic coins to better feed markets and simplify money exchange processes.

Meanwhile, billions of dollars in physical currency and precious metals are literally disappearing, as Zero Hedge points out in a recent overview.

Goldman Sachs wrote earlier this week "gold's strategic case is still strong" in light of "geopolitical uncertainty", with governments eagerly zeroing in on cash and gold caches. As the investment titan noted, "CBs globally have been buying gold at a very strong pace" and "2019 looks to be a record year for CB gold purchases with our target of 750 tonnes combined purchases likely to be met".

However, there is one peculiar side to the gold-related trend: the bank says there has been an eye-watering 1,200 tons or "unexplained" gold flows worth around $57 billion over the past three years.

"Rising political risk - together with negative European rates - may be an important reason behind the large share of unaccounted gold investment over the past several years", says Goldman's Mikhail Sprogis, analysing that the "cumulative unexplained gold demand based on World Gold Council (post 2010) and GFMS (pre 2010) balances data".

He further remarks that since the end of 2016, the "implied build in non-transparent gold investment has been much larger than the build in visible gold ETFs."

The observation is, as the analyst notes, fully consistent with reports that vault demand shows an upward trend:

"Political risks, in our view, help explain this because if an individual is trying to minimise the risks of sanctions or wealth taxes, then buying physical gold bars and storing them in a vault, where it is more difficult for governments to reach them, makes sense", Sprogis writes.

Goldman thereby portrays the way there has been tens of billions in gold flows which have vanished into thin air, away from the official records, but are purported to be behind the scenes as the world is bracing itself for a new economic shock.

"central banks don't know where they have gone, or why, and are playing detective, trying to crack the same mystery", The Wall Street Journal writes about the same trend, but vis-à-vis hard material money.

"People hide their money everywhere", said Sven Bertelmann, head of the Bundesbank's National Analysis Centre in Mainz, Germany, adding:

"Sometimes bank notes are buried in the garden, where they start decomposing, or hidden in attics, where they are used by mice for building nests.

"It happens again and again that people keep money in an envelope and then they shred it by mistake", Mr Bertelmann said. "We pick up the bank notes with tweezers and then start to put them together, like a jigsaw puzzle," he explained.

The German central bank is one of those deeply worried about the trend: according to the Bundesbank, more than 150 billion euros are currently hoarded in Germany, with Australia's central bank reporting that an average of $7.6 billion Australian dollars ($5.2 billion) is missing "at the beach or in couch cushions… or simply lost in a "boating accident" to avoid the taxman until the rainy days arrive".

Along with printing more cash, a vast number of countries, including Russia, has of late been boosting its gold reserves, mostly by buying gold on the domestic market. Moscow became the biggest buyer of the precious metal in 2018 and is aiming to claim the status in 2019, too.

This trend started roughly at the same time as Russia kicked off its sale of US Treasury bonds, reducing their value in the nation's portfolio from $92 billion to $10.07 billion in US debt.

>Remember when we were seeing the Rothschilds liquidate their assets and couldn't figure out why
I do remember that. Many countries are demanding a repatriation of their gold back from the NY FED.

You may remember in the early 2000, Germany did the same. They sent someone over to the NY FED to audit their gold and it didn't happen. So Germany wanted it all back and the FED absolutely balked, and gave all sorts of excuses as to why they couldn't return it all in a timely manner, so they worked out a schedule. But - the FED only made the first delivery and then stopped.

Other issue are other countries that are buying gold, almost hoarding it.

Many goldbugs here will be mad but real currency doesn't have to be backed by a commodity, it just needs to be issued by the government (not a debt note), it's backed by the productive capacity of the people.

The issue of money isn't that it is not backed by a rare commodity (that + people control) but that it is issued by a PRIVATE central bank and not the government. That's why Germany had to be destroyed.

bank of Israel digs in for long fight against strong shekel

The bank of Israel has been grappling with a steady rise in the value of the shekel, but policy-makers say they are willing to be patient.

The currency is up 8% against the dollar over the past 12 months, and its strength is one factor holding inflation below target - prices rose just 0.4% year on year in October. The central bank has been intervening to resist the currency's rise.

"We evaluate the effectiveness of our policy over longer horizons,"

Q Research General #9579: Chill Greta Chill! Edition

Christine Lagarde's First Press Conference As ECB President

Having got through the ECB statement release unscathed with no changes or surprises, all eyes are now on Christina Lagarde's first press conference appearance as ECB president.

The focus will fall on how Lagarde intends to run the central bank, and its upcoming strategic policy review, which will likely be formally announced at the December confab; but there is a risk that this meeting will be light on details, which may possibly result in horizontal price action. Many believe Lagarde's first task will be uniting a divided Governing Council, where there are mixed views on the efficacy and risks of loose(r) policy, as well as the practicalities of the ECB's decision-making functions.

Lagarde is also expected to reiterate her call on fiscal authorities to do more to support the Eurozone economy. Elsewhere, updated economic projections may see near-term growth forecasts nudged up slightly, though further forecasts are subject to downside risks; inflation forecasts are seen little changed.

Today's press conference may reveal more information about this, and could come with a formal announcement on the review. And among many other policy/mission tweaks for the convicted criminal-cum-central banking climate crusader, Rabobank sarcastically adds, "will it include a pledge to also do 'whatever it takes' to get to the Eurozone to net-zero carbon emissions?"

ECB keeps generous stimulus unchanged in Lagarde's first meeting


FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European central bank kept its ultra-easy monetary policy unchanged at Christine Lagarde's first meeting in charge on Thursday, even keeping the door open to more stimulus while the bank gears up for a broad review of its operations. With growth still well below potential in the 19-member currency bloc and inflation short of target, the ECB unleashed a fresh stimulus package in September. That means policy is effectively on auto pilot for months to come, giving Lagarde time and space to find her footing.

"The Governing Council expects the key ECB interest rates to remain at their present or lower levels until it has seen the inflation outlook robustly converge to a level sufficiently close to, but below, 2% within its projection horizon, and such convergence has been consistently reflected in underlying inflation dynamics," the ECB said.

The ECB's press release did not deviate from the previous statement, suggesting Lagarde is comfortable with the stance devised by her predecessor, Mario Draghi, over the objections of many policymakers.

Attention now turns to Lagarde's first news conference at 1330 GMT, where she will unveil the ECB's new economic projections and may discuss the bank's strategic review, due to start early next year.

With Thursday's decision, the ECB's rate on bank overnight deposits, which is currently its primary interest rate tool, remains at a record low of -0.50%.

The main refinancing rate, which determines the cost of credit in the economy, remained unchanged at 0.00% while the rate on the marginal lending facility - the emergency overnight borrowing rate for banks - remains at 0.25%.

Xi moves right-hand man to Japan affairs as ties with West sour

China turns to a familiar crisis management formula: flatter thy neighbor.

TOKYO – In his last speech to the nation before stepping down as the head of the Chinese Communist Party, Hu Jintao, the predecessor to current leader Xi Jinping, declared that China's gross domestic product and per capita GDP would double by 2020, compared to 2010 levels.

That was seven years ago. Today, Xi's China faces the possibility of not being able to deliver on those goals, a potential outcome that has tongues wagging in the economic corridors of Chinese officialdom.

"There was a real possibility that Xi would fail to reach the goal passed on to him by Hu," one person said. "But they appear to have found a way, somewhat forcibly, to achieve it."

Once ridiculed as an incompetent leader who accomplished little, Hu suddenly finds himself being praised for having had a steady economic hand and for overseeing perhaps the end of a golden period for China's economy.

Immediately after the party's 2012 national congress, where Hu made his prediction, a Chinese central bank official expressed confidence that doubling GDP "can be achieved one or two years ahead of schedule."
But the situation has changed dramatically, with the Chinese economy growing 6% in real terms in the July-September quarter of 2019, its slowest pace of growth since 1992, when quarterly figures became available.

The handling of macroeconomic policy and China's trade war with the U.S. continue to add downward pressure on the economy.

Now, somewhat in desperation, the Chinese government is expected to inflate past GDP figures based on a new survey of small companies.

Originally, China was said to need at least 6.2% growth in 2019 and 2020 to achieve the GDP target. But with upward revisions of past GDP figures, the target can be achieved even if growth slips slightly below 6% in 2020.

Call it a magic wand.

China's GDP figures are a politically sensitive issue in a country that tightly regulates what people can say about the economy.

An influential economist who is said to be an adviser to Premier Li Keqiang recently predicted that growth over the next decade "will not exceed 5% on average."

In a video widely circulated within China, the economist said, "Given the severity of the Chinese economy, it is important to secure growth of 4% first."

The video was later scrubbed from the internet, as Chinese authorities decided it was too sensational for this moment.

But there is little doubt that Chinese economic statistics are inflated. The Xi administration itself has continued to warn local bureaucrats not to pump up local growth figures and make false reports to the central government.

Xiang Songzuo, an outspoken professor at Renmin University of China, pointed out that the rate of growth in the July-September quarter might be lower than the official figure of 6%.

In a recent interview with the Nikkei, Xiang said China's growth figures simply do not add up, given factors such as government tax revenues and corporate earnings. He is quite right, and alarm bells are ringing among party leaders.

On Friday, the party's powerful 25-member Politburo held a meeting and reaffirmed the "six stabilities" in relation to next year's economic policies. Topping the list is employment stability, suggesting there are job concerns despite 6% growth, a pace many countries would envy.

Second on the list is financial stability, hinting that China is concerned about the risk of a systemic financial crisis. Meanwhile, there are no references to reducing debt or curbing property speculation. This suggests that greater importance will be attached to boosting the economy than to implementing structural reforms.

There was another interesting passage. The Politburo talked of "transforming external pressure into motivation for deepening reform and further opening-up, and focusing on running China's own affairs well," according to the official Xinhua News Agency. The unfamiliar pronouncement suggests a departure from the hard-line rejection of U.S. demands for structural reforms that the Xi administration has maintained since May.

All in all, Xi is on rough terrain. China's relations with the U.S. are tense. The Chinese economy is in dire straits. And Beijing is coming under international criticism for its hard-line approach to the Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region and Hong Kong.

The Wealthy Are Hoarding Physical Gold

The world's rich are hoarding gold - this according to data buried in a recent Goldman Sachs note to clients.

In the note published over the weekend, Goldman recommended diversifying long-term bond holdings with gold, citing "fear-driven demand" for the yellow metal.

Hedge funds and other large speculators boosted their bullish bets on gold by 8.9% through the week ended Dec. 3, according to government data released last Friday. That represents the biggest gain since the end of September.

The Goldman note cited political uncertainty and recession fears as the catalyst for the move toward gold. It also mentioned worries about a wealth tax, increasing interest in Modern Monetary Theory (essentially money-printing) and the current loose central bank monetary policy.

Data buried in the note also revealed that owning physical gold appears to be the preferred method to "hedge against tail events" by the rich.

"Since the end of 2016 the implied build in non-transparent gold investment has been much larger than the build in visible gold ETFs."

The Mormons have a very close relationship with the BSA.
Imagine all that in the US under the control of a single family. They would be very powerful at manipulating people, and the church. The Great Awakening ring a bell? The actual Great Awakening from the 1800s.
So if some how Vanderbilt connects to the Mormon church out west through Joseph Smith and his early life in Vanderbilt territory, and if Soros replaced Vanderbilt in the power hierarchy after he broke the bank of England in the 1900s (a Rothschilds controlled central bank) then its logical that Soros took over all aspects of Vanderbilt control. That includes Mormonism (Romney).

Now to dig into Pelosi's connection to Soros. My guess is its through her catholic family and the catholics control over Maryland/Baltimore.

Aramco Stock Soars Limit Up In Debut After Saudis Force Locals To Buy

s Jamie Dimon about to get the old bonesaw for leaving $180BN on the table?

Saudi Arabia's oil company Aramco soared 10% limit up on its first day of trading, reaching a valuation of $1.88 trillion, higher than any other publicly traded company in the world. This means that after pricing its IPO at $1.7 trillion, Jamie Dimon left about $180 billion on the table, which will hardly impress the Crown Prince.The record valuation reflects an oversubscribed book of mostly local investors who bought shares on the Saudi Tadawul stock exchange after they were forced by Riyadh to pump the stock.

Aramco only sold a tiny 1.5% sliver in the company, meaning that the kingdom and Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia (PIF) could easily manipulate the price with such a small fraction of the stock public. Aramco listed on the Tadawul exchange because of other international exchanges and their investors found it hard to value the oil company near the $2 trillion levels.

"They have had to launch the IPO on their own stock exchange as the valuation was unlikely to be achieved elsewhere," said John Colley, associate dean at Warwick Business School in the U.K, who spoke with Reuters.

Colley said the IPO pump is likely buyers affiliated with the kingdom. Aramco sold .50% of its shares to individual retail investors, many of whom were Saudi nationals, financially incentivized by the kingdom. The remaining 1% were domestic institutional investors and other financial institutions from surrounding countries.

Reuters noted that Aramco would be offering a dividend of at least $75 billion in 2020 to entice investors to hold. Also, investors who hold for more than six months could be rewarded with up to 100 bonus shares.

Saudi Arabia's central bank doubled leverage for retail investors ahead of the IPO.

State investment funds, like Public Pension Agency and PIF's Sanabil Investments unit, are among domestic institutions who were buying shares in the open market, reported Financial Times, adding that wealthy Saudi families were ordered by the kingdom to purchase stock.

As the FT reported ahead of the IPO, Saudi Arabia was "persuading" local institutions and wealthy families to buy shares in Saudi Aramco after its initial public offering, as part of a plan to drive up the stock price: the focus was to reach company's $2t targeted valuation, and as of this morning, the company is more than halfway there from $1.7 trillion.

Families have been asked to pledge further funds, one unidentified adviser to families say

State investment funds were also "encouraged" to buy shares.

Public Pension Agency, the Public Investment Fund and the PIF's Sanabil Investments unit are among institutions likely to be called on to support the shares once they are trading, FT reports

Aramco declined to comment; PPA did not respond to FT's requests for comment, PIF denied it would intervene to support the price although clearly that's precisely what it was doing this morning.

The result of this massive pump spurred by the kingdom, which sent shares soaring by the 10% limit on opening day, was Mohamed bin Salman's attempt to catapult Aramco's valuation over the $2 trillion level.

"Aramco should easily get to the $2 trillion valuation as soon as tomorrow; there is plenty of appetite for it," Marie Salem, the head of institutions at Daman Securities in Dubai, told Bloomberg. The Aramco IPO proceeds ($25.6 billion) will be used by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) to fund his Vision 2030 initiative and
As MbS and Aramco can claim fame to the world's largest IPO, there was very little participation from foreign institutions, hence why the kingdom incentivized domestic funds and citizens to buy the stock on the day of the IPO.Monica Malik, the chief economist at Abu Dhabi Commercial bank, told Reuters while Ice Brent Crude futures trade around $63-$64, the kingdom needs about $87 per barrel to balance its budget.Last month, former director of the central Intelligence Agency (CIA) David Petraeus told CNBC that he believed Saudi Arabia is "gradually running out of money," which could explain why Aramco was rushed to IPO. Sustainability of the Aramco IPO is questionable considering international participation is weak, and the kingdom not only forced domestic buyers to load up as much as they could but also were told to use leverage.

Macroeconomic headwinds of a slowing global economy, dropping Chinese demand and declining fuel consumption across the world could put down pressure on oil prices heading into the new year, but none of that matters because the kingdom has orchestrated one of the most significant one day stock pumps the country or maybe the world has ever seen.

Husband Of Democrat In Impeachment Hearings Took $700K From Firms Tied To Ukrainian Oligarch 'Accused Of Ordering Contract Killings': Reports

4 Dec

The husband of Democrat Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (D-FL), who sits on the House Judiciary Committee, reportedly took $700,000 from firms connected to a Ukrainian oligarch who has allegedly been "accused of ordering contract killings."

Democrats are set to move their impeachment hearings from the Intelligence Committee to the Judiciary Committee this week with hearings to officially begin tomorrow.

The Miami Herald reported last year:

Public records show that Debbie Mucarsel-Powell's husband, Robert Powell, spent much of the last 10 years as general counsel for companies owned at least in part by Igor Kolomoisky, a wealthy Ukrainian businessman involved in banking and mining. In federal financial disclosures, Mucarsel-Powell reported that her husband of 15 years earned most of their household income during the previous two years - at least $695,000 - from a ferroalloys trading corporation associated with Kolomoisky.

The connections between Robert Powell and Kolomoisky were first reported by Daily Beast reporter Betsy Swan last year - who also highlighted some of the allegations that have been made against the Ukrainian oligarch.

Swan reported in April 2018 that the FBI was "investigating" Kolomoisky over "potential financial crimes, including money laundering, according to the sources, who say the probe is wide-ranging and has been under way for quite some time. Kolomoisky has not been charged with any crime, and a lawyer representing him said he denies any wrongdoing."

"Kolomoisky has a host of enemies. He's been accused of commissioning contract killings," Swan continued. "And in 2016, Ukraine's central bank nationalized Kolomoisky's Privatbank because it didn't have enough cash. Billions of dollars disappeared from its coffers because it lent so much to Kolomoisky associates, according to the FT. The move was widely viewed in the West as a victory for transparency and good governance, in a country whose politics are impoverished on both counts."

Robert Powell's connections to Kolomoisky could create a significant distraction for Democrats during their impeachment hearings since they launched their inquiry into President Donald Trump over a July 25 phone call that he had with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Democrats claim that Trump pressured Zelensky into investigating former Vice President and current Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden in exchange for U.S. military assistance to Ukraine, which Democrats claim amounts to a quid pro quo or bribery.

So far, Democrats' claims that Trump engaged in a quid pro quo or bribery have largely not been substantiated in their public impeachment hearings as multiple witnesses, including Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, Senior NSC official Tim Morrison, Ambassador Kurt Volker, and Ambassador Gordon Sondland all testified that there was no quid pro quo during the phone call.

In a separate report, The Daily Beast noted that the connections between Debbie Mucarsel-Powell's husband and the Ukrainian oligarch left many concerned. "Anders Aslund, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council who focuses on Russia and Ukraine, said the link is concerning, citing accusations that Kolomoisky has been involved in billion-dollar criminal schemes and contract killings," The Daily Beast reported. "He called the ties 'highly suspicious."

"When you work for a guy like that, you know what you're dealing with," said Edward Chow, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "There should be no illusion of what you're dealing with, even if the business you have to conduct for him in the United States is completely clean. You know where the wealth came from. There should be no reason not to know, because everyone knows."

central banks worldwide buying up massive amounts of gold in a shift away from US dollar - Goldman Sachs

Gold prices will climb to $1,600 per ounce over the next year, Wall Street bank Goldman Sachs projects. It says that central banks are consuming a fifth of the global supply of the yellow metal.

"De-dollarization in central banks - demand from central banks for gold is biggest since the Nixon era, eating up 20 percent of global supply," the head of global commodities research at Goldman, Jeff Currie, told Bloomberg. "I am going to like gold better than bonds because the bonds won't reflect that de-dollarization."

Citing "fear-driven demand" for the precious metal, Goldman analysts said last week that investors should diversify their long-term bond holdings with gold.

"Going long-term depends on what is going to happen to global growth. The further out you go, the higher the probability that the US is going to hit a recession. We have $1,600 holding out through 2021," Goldman Sachs analyst Mikhail Sprogis told Kitco News. Gold was trading at $1463.30 per ounce on Tuesday.

Sprogis said that central bank gold demand will be driven by demand from Russia, Turkey, China, and other countries, including Poland.

Statistics showed that hedge funds and other large speculators boosted their bullish bets on the precious metal by 8.9 percent in the week ended December 3. That is the biggest gain since late September.

Rabobank: "The Key Reason We Are In This Mess Is Due To Volcker"

Tall Tales

Markets were relatively quiet Monday, with key bond yields drifting lower to reverse Friday's payrolls-induced spike, and the USD likewise reversing some its gain. Even equities ended slightly lower.

Perhaps the most eye-catching news was the sad death of former Fed Chair Paul Volcker. Besides his post-2008 regulatory 'Volcker Rule' being infamous to those working in markets, "Tall Paul" is being eulogised as the man "who broke the back of US inflation in the 1980s". Even before his death others had stated that if there were a Nobel Prize for government serviced that his name would be on that list.

For those weaned on ultra-low rates and central-bank liquidity on demand, it must seem odd that once upon a time there was a Fed Chair prepared to raise rates to eye-watering levels regardless of the cost, who worked for tighter regulation after leaving office, and who publicly wanted to see big banks broken up. By contrast, yesterday saw the current Fed pump in another USD25bn in a 28-day repo operation yesterday - and USD43bn was bid for that USD25bn on offer (so many people so short of cash: is it all really a year-end squeeze?); and let's not forget the weekend had that USD150,000 banana taped to a wall (up USD30,000 in a day because of the controversy over the first USD120,000 banana being eaten). For all the chatter that Jay Powell 'was going to be the next Volcker', the truth is that lower for longer will be lower forever if markets continue to require permanent liquidity support, which they still do a decade after the actual crisis ended.

However to think that we need a Volcker now is a "Tall tale". Why? Because one also needs to underline that, ironically, the key reason we are in this mess is due to Volcker. He didn't just break the back of US inflation: he also deliberately broke the back of US labour power. Recall that at the time of soaring US inflation the economy was dealing with the aftermath of an oil shock, the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the messy end of the expensive Vietnam War, and the start of the US political mania for tax cuts for the wealthy as a cure-all. Most countries would have seen high inflation against that backdrop - and lots of potential policy-combinations might have worked as a palliative. (Tax hikes for the rich, for example, or an early refusal to allow the USD to assume its current global role as absorber of excess global capital and production.)

Volcker decided that the working class needed to pay the price of victory against inflation. He explicitly aimed at breaking the power of organised labour, and just after being appointed as FOMC Chair declared "The standard of living of the average American has to decline". When looking at the trend of median rea- wage stagnation in the US–something now broadly acknowledged as the root cause of most of our socio-economic problems, and of our distorted markets–this started with the first oil shock, and became entrenched under Volcker. Subsequent Fed Chairs, and indeed most central banks, may no longer be tough on rates and may doll out liquidity like candy - but not to workers, only to banks (and soon, perhaps, to shadow banks). Whatever the Fed does or doesn't say at this week's meeting, don't expect that to change.

Muh Fed…..

You're a sheeple. The Fed is just a corrupt bank that skims a few tens of million here and there for their services….pocket change in the overall scheme of things. Replacing it won't change banking cycles and may be worse because if the new central bank is directly controlled by the government it will probably be an equally bad shitshow if not worse.

Argentine governor resigns before new president takes over

Argentina's central bank governor Guido Sandleris, announced his resignation as president-elect Alberto Fernández is due to take office on December 10.

Sandleris said Argentina needed a central bank that was independent in practice, and not just according to the law, in a farewell speech appealing for better economic management. The outgoing central bank of Argentina (BCRA) governor also acknowledged policy failures under the administration of president Mauricio Macri

Q Research General #9524: Comfy Saturday with Patriots! Edition

The federal reserve is a central bank owned by Roths. They create our currency unconstitutionally. Most of our national debt is owed to the federal reserve. Why? Because they charge us interest on every dollar they create. Immediate debt is placed on it as soon as it is, "created." That is why we can NEVER pay it, because we have to keep going to the guy who prints it for us to pay the extra. A never ending loop.

Tell the fed to shove their debt up their butt, dismantle the fed, go back to constitutional money and boom, back in business.

Ummmm….
It is against anon.

The founders were very specific on this point: They clearly understood that "money" had to be based on something of intrinsic value to avoid fraud in the monetary system.
They selected gold and silver coin and named it as such in our Constitution:
"No State shall make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;"

We are currently living beyond our means as a society.
We are allowing desperate, destitute people to flood into our country.
We are exporting our jobs and manufacturing base to nations historically hostile to us and we have debased our currency and allowed criminal fraud to run rampant in our banking and financial systems.
At some point a certain inevitably will present itself clearly.
How long until this harbinger arrives and who will suffer the consequences?

Alan Greenspan explains it in this short six page summary

Gold and economic freedom

Editor's note - It may surprise more than a few gold devotees to learn they have an ideological friend in none other than Federal Reserve Board chairman Alan Greenspan. Starting in the 1950s, in fact, Greenspan was a stalwart member of Ayn Rand's intellectual inner circle. A self-designated "objectivist", Rand preached a strongly libertarian view, applying it to politics and economics, as well as to religion and popular culture. Under her influence, Greenspan wrote for the first issue of what was to become the widely-circulated Objectivist Newsletter. When Gerald Ford appointed him to the Council of Economic Advisors, Greenspan invited Rand to his swearing-in ceremony. He even attended her funeral in 1982. In 1967, Rand published her non-fiction book, Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. In it, she included Gold and Economic Freedom, the essay by Alan Greenspan which appears below. Drawing heavily from Murray Rothbard's much longer The Mystery of banking, Greenspan argues persuasively in favor of a gold standard and against the concept of a central bank.

"In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation There is no safe store of value. If there were, the government would have to make its holding illegal, as was done in the case of gold. If everyone decided, for example, to convert all his bank deposits to silver or copper or any other good, and thereafter declined to accept checks as payment for goods, bank deposits would lose their purchasing power and government-created bank credit would be worthless as a claim on goods. The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves."

"This is the shabby secret of the welfare statists' tirades against gold. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard."

"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."
-Henry Ford

The few who can understand the system will be either so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors, that there will be no opposition from that class, while, on the other hand, that great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantage that Capital derives from the system, will bear its burden without complaint and, perhaps, without even suspecting that the system is inimical to their interests."

Federal Reserve V.P. Grilled at House Hearing on Hundreds of Billions in Fed Loans to Wall Street

While the Democrats focused on the continuing predatory practices of U.S. banks and the Federal Reserve's coziness with those same banks, three Republicans at yesterday's House Financial Services Committee hearing delved into why the Federal Reserve is showering Wall Street's trading houses with super cheap loans on the pretext that it's simply part of the Fed's routine monetary operations. Since September 17, the Federal Reserve, through its New York Fed branch, has been funneling hundreds of billions of dollars each week to Wall Street's trading houses, intervening in what had been a private overnight lending operation (called repurchase agreements or repo loans) between banks and other financial institutions. Since September 17, the Fed loans have grown in both size and duration with some loans extended out as far as 42 days - suggesting to many on Wall Street that there is one or more banks in trouble that peer banks simply don't want to lend to. The Fed, however, has stuck to the mantra that this is just a routine response to a liquidity blip. The Republican Co-Chair of the Committee, Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC), began the questioning on the repo matter early in the hearing, asking the Fed's Vice President for bank supervision, Randal Quarles, to explain what has necessitated these loans on the part of the Fed. Quarles responded:

"There were a complex set of factors that contributed to those events in September. Not all of them were related to our regulatory framework. But I do think that as we have considered what were the driving factors in the disruption in the repo market in September, we have identified some areas where our existing supervision of the regulatory framework, less the calibration or structure of the framework itself, may have created some incentives that were contributors. "They were probably not the decisive contributors but they were contributors. And I think we need to examine them. Particularly among them are the internal liquidity stress tests that we run that create a preference, or can create a preference at some institutions, for central bank reserves over other liquid assets including Treasury securities for the satisfaction of their liquidity requirements under the liquidity framework that's put in post the crisis." This garbled response, which effectively said nothing, triggered a request for clarification from McHenry. Quarles answered:

"The regulation was intended to be structured so that banks would be indifferent between central bank reserves and other forms of liquid assets, particularly Treasury securities in satisfying their High Quality Liquid Asset (HQLA) retention requirements and the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) itself does not make any distinction." McHenry responded that there appears to be a distinction. Quarles said: "Some banks, from their internal assessment of how their liquid assets will perform in a future period of stress have put a heavy emphasis on central bank reserves as the most liquid assets. Treasury securities take a day to settle, markets can be disrupted in the event of extreme unexpected events. So that does create a thumb on the scale for central bank reserves. So I think it is worth reviewing, and we are reviewing some of these supervisory measures." Later in the hearing, Congressman French Hill (R-Arkansas) brought up the Fed's repo loans again, saying that he had had discussions on this matter with Quarles over "the last few weeks." Hill wasn't buying Quarles' earlier response to Congressman McHenry. Hill said:
"When you see the amount of the reserves held by the banks they're extensive; they're far above any requirement by the Dodd-Frank rules. The four largest banks collectively have more cash with the Fed than the next 24 combined. How does the Fed make clear to the banks that interday lending is a good thing, that is, that other banks have access to those amounts of cash that are far in excess of what they need regulatorily." Quarles said the Fed is looking at its supervisory role to make sure it is not creating incentives for "hoarding" by these big banks.
(Clearly, the biggest banks are hoarding and/or backing away from questionable financial institutions that they don't want to lend to.)

Congressman Warren Davidson (R-Ohio) asked about the Fed "injecting $100 billion or so a day into the repo market" and asked Quarles "Do you see a moral hazard in that?" Quarles said "I don't think actually that there is a moral hazard there."
what a douche..it's the very definition of it!

And just to interject with a reminder regarding the greatest act of treason in American history!

1913!
A demonrat House, demonrat Senate and demonrat president (not deserving of a capital p) committed outright treason, violated the American Constitution, allowing the setting up of a foreign pond-scum central bank and giving control over the American currency - a control given by the Founding Fathers to ONLY the elected government - to those same foreign scumbags and turning 100's of millions of Americans into debt slaves to globalist pigs who feel it is their right to control all the money in the world and if people in any country want to use their own currency…they can borrow off the scum at interest.

Americans must never forget the last 113 years of slavery of ALL Americans orchestrated and implemented by the treasonous demonrat party!

ALL AMERICANS must keep this uppermost in mind - demonrats have always been slave owners. demonrats owned ALL slaves, demonrats created the kkk, demonrats voted against ending slavery, demonrats voted against allowing their slaves to vote, the demonrats voted against giving female slaves the right to vote, or be equal.

Anyone in America, ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who thinks the demonrat slave-owners should be voted for is NOT American!

As market matures central banks conclude that a formal gold agreement is no longer necessary

26 July 2019

Signatories of the fourth central bank Gold Agreement no longer see need for formal agreement as market has developed and matured
Signatory central banks confirm gold remains an important element of global monetary reserves and none of them currently has plans to sell significant amounts of gold
The European central bank (ECB) and 21 other central banks that are signatories of the central bank Gold Agreement (CBGA) have decided not to renew the Agreement upon its expiry in September 2019.

The first CBGA was signed in 1999 to coordinate the planned gold sales by the various central banks. When it was introduced, the Agreement contributed to balanced conditions in the gold market by providing transparency regarding the intentions of the signatories. It was renewed three times in 2004, 2009 and 2014, gradually moving towards less stringent terms.

Since 1999 the global gold market has developed considerably in terms of maturity, liquidity and investor base. The gold price has increased around five-fold over the same period. The signatories have not sold significant amounts of gold for nearly a decade, and central banks and other official institutions in general have become net buyers of gold.

The signatories confirm that gold remains an important element of global monetary reserves, as it continues to provide asset diversification benefits and none of them currently has plans to sell significant amounts of gold.

The fourth CBGA, which expires on 26 September 2019, was signed by the ECB, the Nationale bank van België/Banque Nationale de Belgique, the Deutsche Bundesbank, Eesti Pank, the central bank of Ireland, the bank of Greece, the Banco de España, the Banque de France, the Banca d'Italia, the central bank of Cyprus, Latvijas banka, Lietuvos bankas, the Banque centrale du Luxembourg, the central bank of Malta, De Nederlandsche bank, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank, the Banco de Portugal, banka Slovenije, Národná banka Slovenska, Suomen Pankki - Finlands bank, Sveriges Riksbank and the Swiss National bank.

Q Research General #9490: Preview Q's "The Con", Now showing on projectDcomms! Edition

>>7420510
In September 2013 , representatives of the US, the EU, Ukraine and Russia met for a conference in Crimea. They gathered in the Liwadija Palace in Yalta , where in 1945 Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin decided to reorganize Europe after World War II.

Since 2004, the annual conference "Yalta European Strategy" (YES) takes place. Organizer and financier of the conference is Viktor Pinchuk. The oligarch became rich with his company Interpipe, which produces steel tubes and, above all, supplied to Gazprom. With one of Forbes estimated fortune of around 3.1 billion US dollars Pinchuk is one of the richest Ukrainians, and describes himself as an "art lover and philanthropist". He is considered a "bridge to the West" and has long been committed to Ukraine's integration into the EU.

The Economist described the conference in Yalta as a "meeting of the global elite" .

"The future of Ukraine , a country with 48 million inhabitants, and Europe was decided in real time," said The Economist. The conference had been a "show of militant diplomacy and impressive intellect" attended by reputable representatives of the European elite.
https://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/82260

In addition to Yanukovych, who was expelled five months later from office, was also the future President Petro Poroshenko present . Poroshenko was already one of the most important contact persons of the US secret services, as can be seen from Wikileaks documents (more here ).

According to Wikileaks, the new Ukrainian president has been very close to the Americans for years. He kept the US Embassy informed of current political developments. The Americans considered Poroshenko's activity as the central bank of Ukraine especially useful.

European Deep Pockets Are Preparing For New Big War

Large financiers and central banks are preparing for a new global economic crisis and a possible global war.

On November 29th, Bloomberg reported that "Gold is the new obsession of East Europe's nationalist leaders."

"Just this week, Poland's government touted its economic might after completing the repatriation of 100 tons of the metal. Over in Hungary, anti-immigrant Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been ramping up holdings of the safe-haven asset to boost the security of his reserves.

The gold rush mirrors steps by Russia and China to diversify reserves exceeding $3 trillion away from the dollar amid flaring geopolitical tensions with the U.S. Motivations in Europe's ex-communist wing, however, can vary."

Former Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico urged parliament to vote for the central bank to return the country's gold reserves from the UK.

"You can hardly trust even the closest allies after the Munich Agreement," Fico told reporters. "I guarantee that if something happens, we won't see a single gram of this gold. Let's do it as quickly as possible."

Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic ordered the central bank to boost reserves and prompted the purchase of nine tons of gold in October.

While Russia began to actively build up gold in its reserves, the Netherlands organized the export of 122 tons of gold from London, and the Netherlands isn't an Eastern European country.

Financial Times, published an article in which Rana Foroohar, a columnist who is known for her skepticism about gold, admits that even she is starting to get intimidated by the intensity with which interest in gold is rising:

"Gold bugs have always struck me as paranoid. You have to really believe the sky is falling in order to hoard physical bars in a digital age. So, it's rather worrying that some investors and central bankers are talking up gold."

Recently, billionaire financier Ray Dalio explained that the dollar and, accordingly, dollar debt obligations may depreciate due to the US budget policy and the actions of the US Federal Reserve and that in this context it is worth remembering the old financial saying.

"Gold is the only asset that you can have and which it will not be someone's debt obligation."

the pretence that economics is a science is ludicrous -
the cult wanted to make Babylon money manipulation look life a science so they did.

n 1968, Sveriges Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) established the Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, founder of the Nobel Prize. The Prize is based on a donation received by the Nobel Foundation in 1968 from Sveriges Riksbank


Alfred Nobel's family initially objected to the fraud but more generous cult donation eased the pain .

Is Lebanon's central bank a Ponzi scheme ?


In the current political landscape, pursuing a simultaneous fight against corruption does not seem possible. Gebran Bassil (Free Patriotic Movement) announced that all the leading members of his party would make public their bank accounts. He also tabled a bill aimed at verifying the assets of civil servants. However, several hurdles would render such measures unworkable (the waiver of bank secrecy being prohibited by law in these circumstances; nothing has been said about the bank accounts belonging to the family members of political leaders; etc.).

Actually, corruption in Lebanon is not a violation of the law; it is the law itself that generates it. For example, there are import taxes, which nobody pays since the law grants an exemption to the 17 recognized religious communities. It is therefore sufficient to have the import declared by a person from one of these communities to avoid paying the tax. Thus, the port of Beirut loses out on US$ 3 billion every year.

The liquidity crisis, which sparked the 17 October protest movement, has worsened. banks only allow cash withdrawals in Lebanese pounds up to a maximum amount equivalent to US$ 500 per week. All the rating agencies (Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's) have downgraded Lebanon's credit rating. Lebanon's central bank Governor, Riad Salamé, maintains that the country holds US$ 38 billion in foreign currency reserves, but according to Moody's they do not exceed 5 to 10 billion. On 28 November, Lebanon paid off a Eurobond of US$ 1.5 billion but may be unable to cover the next payment. The possibility of a bail-in targeting all Lebanese bank accounts is increasingly being brought up.

The personal fortune of the Prime Minister, Saad Hariri, has come under scrutiny. As was previously reported by the Saudi press, Mr. Hariri had to reimburse astronomical sums to the Saudi state. No one seems to know what has become of that unfathomable amount of debt. A lawsuit was filed against Hariri's personal bank to constrain it to return one billion dollars to one of its clients.
The Lebanese think tank "Triangle" regards the entire Lebanese financial system as a scam devised by the central bank Governor, Riad Salamé, to emulate the Ponzi scheme investment fraud. According to Sami Halabi and Jacob Boswall, the attractiveness of Lebanese banks stems from the high interest rate they offer on dollar deposits. But this rate can only be honoured provided there is a continuous flow of new deposits (see the full note below for details). A close confidant of deceased president Rafic Hariri, Riad Salamé has been at the helm of Lebanon's central bank since 1993, and is universally celebrated as one of the best central bank directors. His system only works because it benefits the country's historic warlords.

Such a system has never been observed in any other country since the Second World War, except in Albania in the 1990s. However, the scam in Albania consisted of a misappropriation of funds that benefited private companies, while in Lebanon it was designed to favour political leaders, to the detriment of taxpayers.

Lagarde: European central bank Demands 'Key Role' In Climate Change

Note also that the Minneapolis Fed chair states that its time for central banks to decide how to redistribute wealth.

The two go hand in hand, but confirm that the central banking system is fully complicit, if not causative, in the master plan to implement Sustainable Development, aka, Technocracy.

Ottmar Edenhofer, lead author of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report in 2007 stated, "One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with environmental policy anymore." ? TN Editor

Having failed miserably to "trickle down" stock market wealth for a decade as was their intention, something Ben Bernanke made clear in his Nov 4, 2010 WaPo op-ed, central banks have moved on to more noble causes.

Over the weekend Minneapolis Fed chair Neil Kashkari suggested it was time to allow central banks to directly decide how to redistribute wealth, stating unironically that "monetary policy can play the kind of redistributing role once thought to be the preserve of elected officials", apparently failing to realize that the Fed is not made up of elected officials but unelected technocrats who serve the bidding of the Fed's commercial bank owners.

Failing to decide how is poor and who is rich, central bankers are happy to settle with merely fixing the climate.

A Murdered central banker's Warning Changed Everything for SEB

Not all money laundering scandals are equal.

When the world learned that billions in dirty funds had flowed through Danske bank A/S and Swedbank AB, it proved disastrous for the two lenders. But when SEB AB was accused of similar offenses, people were more forgiving.
The difference can be traced back to a single point in time. SEB's chief executive officer, Johan Torgeby, says his bank made a clear choice back in 2006. That's when SEB started to tackle the kind of non-resident flows that have been at the epicenter of every Nordic-Baltic laundering scandal. Torgeby says SEB's choices are largely thanks to a dead central banker from Russia.

Dodgy Flows -

*Danske had about $220 billion in Estonian non-resident flows in 2007-2015
*Swedbank reportedly had about $155 billion in high-risk transactions
* SEB says it had about $93 billion in Estonian non-resident flows in 2005-2018

SEB, like Swedbank, is based in Stockholm. Together, the two dominate the Baltic banking market in which large-scale money laundering is alleged to have taken place. For Russian criminals eager to get their funds to the West, the setup was perfect, providing access to some of the world's most respected lenders via a region that was geographically close and familiar.

In 2006, SEB received a warning from Andrei Kozlov, a deputy chairman of Russia's central bank who was visiting Estonia. Kozlov made clear that the Baltic region was being used as a conduit for money launderers. Oligarchs and criminals from the former Soviet Union were systematically targeting the region to channel questionable funds into the West. Once there, the money would be plowed into luxury real estate, yachts, fur coats and even private school tuition.

"Three days after Kozlov, we started to work with police," Torgeby said in an interview.

Not long after he visited Estonia, Kozlov was shot dead. A subsequent trial attributed the murder to bankers angered by his efforts to fight money laundering.

The warning from Kozlov "was a really important event," Torgeby said. It "kind of kick-started what we today would call the modern way of trying to limit risks associated with money laundering."

SEB is still trying to figure out what went on over a decade ago, and is still going through "a lot of documents" from 2005 and 2006, he said. Management is "trying to do a forensic review of what happened 15 years ago."

According to ABG Sundal Collier, the decline in SEB's non-resident flows after 2006 show it was serious about trying to stop criminals from using its Estonian unit. ABG says that should limit the risk of costly probes and "huge fines."

SEB was founded in 1856 by the Wallenberg family, which owns large chunks of corporate Sweden. The Wallenbergs were quick to throw their support behind the lender after it emerged that about $30 billion in non-resident Estonian flows were exposed to the risk of money laundering. Swedish media also claim that about $50 million that moved through SEB can be linked to Russian tax fraud that Sergei Magnitsky died trying to investigate. Magnitsky was the lawyer of Hermitage Capital Management co-founder Bill Browder, who has made it his mission to chase down those tied to the case.

To be sure, the $30 billion in suspicious flows that SEB itself identified may well be enough to attract the attention of U.S. investigators, according to Elliott Stein, senior litigation analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence in New York.

"The key question will be how much of that touched the U.S. financial system via SEB," he said. "The possibility that U.S. sanctions may have been violated also increases the likelihood that the U.S. would be interested."

But SEB's decision to quell the flow of suspicious transactions well over a decade ago may influence how the U.S. responds.

"The statute of limitations is five years for money laundering but if earlier transactions are considered to be part of the same scheme as later transactions, they might be considered part of a continuing offense, which would essentially make the statute of limitations issue moot," Stein said. "But if the bank took steps to stop the activity by 2017, that could help mitigate a penalty."

China will not resort to quantitative easing: PBOC governor

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's central bank governor Yi Gang said in a signed article published on Sunday that Beijing should maintain "normal" monetary policy as long as possible since economic growth is still within a reasonable range and inflation is mild overall.

China will not resort to quantitative easing even as the monetary policies of the world's major economies are approaching zero interest rates, People's bank of China Governor Yi Gang wrote in an article published by the leading Communist Party theoretical journal Qiushi.

"We should not let the money held by the Chinese people become worthless... Maintaining positive interest rates and upward-inclined yield curve is generally conducive to the economic entities, and in line with the Chinese people's saving culture, thus beneficial to the sustainable development of the economy," said Yi.

He reiterated the central bank will continue to implement prudent monetary policy, conduct counter-cyclical adjustments, improve monetary policy transmission and keep liquidity reasonably ample.

China's economic growth slowed to near 30-year lows in the third quarter and industrial profits continued to shrink, and speculation is mounting that Beijing needs to roll out stimulus more quickly and more aggressively, even if it risks adding to a pile of debt.

The exchange rate of China's yuan is decided by supply and demand, we will not play the yuan as a tool and will not resort to competitive devaluation of the yuan, said Yi.

China's central bank will continue to promote reform of the yuan, and maintain its flexibility and keep it basically stable on a reasonably balanced level, the governor said, adding that Beijing will conduct necessary macro-prudential management in the foreign exchange market when needed.

Yi also said China will strengthen the supervision of property financing markets.

Q Research General #9462: Thanks to POTUS from the Troops Edition

>>7398649
There is also the long standing hatred of Putin BY the [DS]. Their hatred of Putin stems from what he has done for Russia and it is very mutual except President Putin hates the [DS] for what they have done TO Russia.

When Putin was elected in 2000 the first major step he took against the [DS] scum was to start paying off Russia's national debt to the rothschild banking cult. In 2006 Putin gave the rothschilds their last penny…and kicked them out of the country, setting up the Rossiya central bank as Russia's bank and taking over Russian Currency for Russia.

Now, if Russia needs money, the government fulfills THEIR mandate and "spends money into existence" and all profits go to the nation instead of some globalist scum bag.

So yes, the [DS] hates Putin and he hates them and even though President Trump and President Putin haven't any public contact I have no doubt letters have been sent between ALL concerned: Presidents Trump, Putin, Xi…and Kim have likely communicated through snail-mail for a long time and each, in their own way and in their own country are fighting the same fight.

This is global and like-thinking allies with the courage to go against the vested interests in their own country and government just don't grow on trees (just look how the Lunatic Fringe - the demonrats - act, there are useless corrupt, treasonous politicians just like the slimey demonrats in all countries)…these people are at war for a reason and once this enemy, the greatest enemy, is dealt with, we will have sovereign nation states again; independent, free from foreign oppression. free from evil within…but likely bitching at each other over minor things that get settled rather than turn into a major war so scum orchestrating the [DS] can get richer.

The Rush To A Cashless Society Only Serves Globalist Interests

fundamental pillar of true free markets is the existence of choice; the availability of options from production to providers to purchase mechanisms without interference from governments or corporate monopolies. Choice means competition, and competition drives progress. Choice can also drive changes within society, for if people know a better or more secure way of doing things exists, why would anyone want to stay trapped within the confines of a limited system? At the very least, people should be allowed to choose economic mechanisms that work best for their particular situation.

This is NOT how our society functions today, and free market do not exist anywhere in modern nations including the US. Whenever I hear someone (usually a socialist) blame free market "capitalism" for the oppressive ailments of the world, I have to laugh. The alliance between governments and corporate monopolies (what Mussolini called national socialism or fascism) makes free markets utterly impossible. What we have today is an amalgamation of socialist economic interference and corporatocracy. Our system is highly restrictive and micro-managed for everyone except the money elites, who do not have to follow the same rules the rest of us do.

Of course, I might be preaching to the choir when it comes to these issues. But, there are some underlying developments being pushed forward by globalists hell-bent on a one world monetary system and a one world government that even many liberty activists are not fully aware of.

In alternative economic circles, the US dollar is seen as the end-all-be-all of fiat currency dominance. Many activists see it as the key to the power of the global elites and they think the Federal Reserve is the top of the globalist pyramid. This is not exactly true.

The US dollar is itself just another tool of the banking cabal, and tools sometimes lose their usefulness over time. While it could be said that for the past several decades the dollar as the world reserve currency was the core of globalist influence, this is about to change and we can see the signs today. The rush towards a cashless society in the past few years is startling and unfortunately too many liberty activists have been suckered into thinking that it's is a good thing.

There are a number of reasons for this. As mentioned above, activists see the dollar (or Fed note) as fuel for the globalist machine, and so obviously they would like to see it go down in flames. They also are generally proponents of free markets, and the exploding trend of cryptocurrencies has given them the illusion that "choice" is returning to economy through "monetary competition". I understand the basis for this attitude, and I appreciate where it's coming from. I also have never been a proponent of the dollar or any other central bank fiat system. This article should not be misinterpreted as a defense of dollar hegemony.

That said, there is a much bigger agenda at play here, and the dollar is only one fading part of it as it is being quietly replaced by a completely digital framework. We have to once again ask ourselves - Who really benefits from a sudden shift in the economic and monetary world? Who gains political and social power through a cashless society? Is it the public? Or, is it the same banking elites and globalists that have always held sway over our economic structure?

In 2017 I published an article called 'The Globalist One World Currency Will Look A Lot Like Bitcoin'. In it, I warned that the trendy marketing of cryptocurrencies to the general public by the mainstream media was extremely suspicious and contrary to the notion that the establishment was "terrified" of Bitcoin or blockchain tech putting them out of business. I also warned of the deep involvement of international banks like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan in the progress of blockchain infrastructure and more specifically Goldman Sachs and the IMF's love affair with digital monetary systems. Goldman Sachs even referred to the blockchain as "the new technology of trust…"

Clearly, the banking elites are not worried about this technology. In fact, they have been investing in it heavily. But why? I have long held that current popular cryptocurrencies are nothing more than a beta test for a global digital currency system controlled by the elites.

You know that the Queen has been told to dissolve the monarchy, which is why she didn't wear her crown to open parliament.

But something far more profound is occuring, and I suspect it's worldwide. She is no longer stealing our income taxes.

In case you don't know, the main reason we pay taxes, is to pay back the Crown for the roads, ports, railways etc that the Crown paid for before we "earned" our "independence".

All nations that have a central bank pay the Crown 21% of their GDP annually. Its collected by the tax department, enforced by the courts, and punished by the police.

Incredibly, the New Zealand Labour Party, led by Jacinda "dick swinger" Ardern, posted a $7.5 billion (NZD) surplus. Given the acute fiscal incompetence of the left, this can only mean the Crown has stopped stealing that 21%…….

Good times ahead……

Mauldin: We're On The Brink Of The Second "Great Depression"

You really need to watch this video of a recent conversation between Ray Dalio and Paul Tudor Jones. Their part is about the first 40 minutes.

In this video, Ray highlights some problematic similarities between our times and the 1930s. Both feature:

a large wealth gap

the absence of effective monetary policy

a change in the world order, in this case the rise of China and the potential for trade wars/technology wars/capital wars.

He threw in a few quick comments as their time was running out, alluding to the potential for the end of the world reserve system and the collapse of fiat monetary regimes.

Maybe it was in his rush to finish as their time is drawing to a close, but it certainly sounded a more challenging tone than I have seen in his writings.
Currency Wars

It brought to mind an essay I read last week from my favorite central banker, former BIS Chief Economist William White.

He was warning about potential currency wars, aiming particularly at the US Treasury's seeming desire for a weaker dollar. Ditto for other governments around the world. He believes this is a prescription for disaster.

One possibility is that it might lead to a disorderly end to the current dollar based regime, which is already under strain for a variety of both economic and geopolitical reasons. To destroy an old, admittedly suboptimal, regime without having prepared a replacement could prove very costly to trade and economic growth.

Perhaps even worse, conducting a currency war implies directing monetary policy to something other than domestic price stability. There ceases to be a domestic anchor to constrain the expansion of central bank balance sheets.

Should this lead to growing suspicion of all fiat currencies, especially those issued by governments with large sovereign debts, a sharp increase in inflationary expectations and interest rates might follow. How this might interact with the record high debt ratios, both public and private, that we see in the world today, is not hard to imagine.

I called Bill to ask if he thought this was going to happen. Basically, he said no, but it shouldn't even be considered. It was his gentlemanly way of issuing a warning.

Currency devaluations against gold were part of the root cause of the Great Depression. Coupled with protectionism and tariffs, they devastated global economic growth and trade.
The Repeat of the 1930s?

Do I think it will happen in any significant way in the next few years?

It is not my highest probability scenario. But imagine a recession that brings the US deficit to $2 trillion, possibly followed by a governmental change that raises taxes and spending.

Peak Irony: Fed Paper Admits Fed Policy Can Lead To Economic Ruin

A paper by Scott A. Wolla and Kaitlyn Frerking for the Federal Reserve bank of St. Louis warns that the Fed's own policy could lead to "economic ruin.

The paper titled "Making Sense of National Debt" explains the pros and cons of national borrowing in typical Keynesian fashion. In a nutshell, a little debt is a good thing, but too much debt can become a problem.

But in the process of explaining national debt, Wolla and Frerking stumble into an ugly truth - Federal Reserve money printing can destroy a country's economy.

So, when does the national debt become a problem?

According to Wolla and Frerking, debt only becomes an issue when it outpaces GDP, or national income, as they call it. If debt grows at a faster rate than income, eventually the debt might become unsustainable.

They note that according to the GAO, the US national debt is on an unsustainable path.

The federal debt is projected to grow at a faster rate than GDP for the foreseeable future. A significant portion of the growth in projected debt is to fund social programs such as Medicare and Social Security. Using debt held by the public (instead of total public debt), the debt-to-GDP ratio averaged 46 percent from 1946 to 2018 but reached 77 percent by the end of 2018. It is projected to exceed 100 percent within 20 years."

Note that the total public debt is even higher. Most analysts put the total debt to GDP ratio at around 105%.

As Wolla and Frerking point out, rising levels of debt elevate the risk of default. Normally, investors holding government bonds bear this risk. While governments never have to entirely pay off debt, there are debt levels that investors might perceive as unsustainable.

Enter the central bank. Wolla and Frerking explain how it can step in and "print money" in an effort to rescue the overleveraged government.

While governments never have to entirely pay off debt, there are debt levels that investors might perceive as unsustainable. A solution some countries with high levels of unsustainable debt have tried is printing money. In this scenario, the government borrows money by issuing bonds and then orders the central bank to buy those bonds by creating (printing) money. History has taught us, however, that this type of policy leads to extremely high rates of inflation (hyperinflation) and often ends in economic ruin."

The process that Wolla and Frerking describe is called debt monetization. And it's exactly what the Federal Reserve is doing today.

Last month, the Fed announced a massive bond-buying program.

The Federal Reserve will buy $60 billion in short-term Treasury bills each month. According to a statement, the purchases will continue, "at least into the second quarter of next year." That would amount to around $400 billion worth of Treasurys added to the Fed's balance sheet.

But the balance sheet will likely expand more than that. The Fed also plans to use interest it earns off its portfolio to buy more Treasurys. And as they mature, it will take that money and buy more bonds, thus pumping up the balance sheet.

Powell insists this is not quantitative easing. When he announced the plan, Powell said, "This is not QE. In no sense is this QE." But as Peter Schiff said, this is precisely QE - no matter what you call it.

Part 1

The one, overriding impression that Democrats, media and the left have left on many Americans after two weeks of the "impeachment" circus" is not what they intended. They have left the unmistakable impression of fear; near-panic levels of terror. And from what is now seeping out, they have every reason to feel this way.

You see, their con-game is about to be exposed. The merciless corruption and venal disregard for the American people that has become their entire operating model is on the verge of being dragged through the streets for all to see and ridicule.

At every turn, the true matter before the nation is becoming more and more obvious - the deep and systemic corruption that the Obama administration imposed on America, the disdain of the American people by the globalist elite, and the desperation to hide the facts from the public even at the cost of the legitimacy America's most central institutions.

The list is long. From the vile action of the communist-supporting John Brennan of Obama's CIA to the likely criminal "leadership" of the FBI under Comey, to the globalist hit-squad at the State Department, the picture is one of arrogant disregard for the law, an almost adolescent rebellion against the nation that has given them so much. And while the list of violators is long, it is fitting that the crux of the current debate starts with the outright, open corruption of the Biden family, especially Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden is the essence of the modern leftist movement; self-important, narcissistic to the extreme and greedy beyond words. Once the Democrats and their quislings inside the bureaucracy learned that the President was looking into the Ukrainian natural gas company, Burisma, accused of stealing from the Ukrainian government during the Viktor Yanukovych administration, that had funneled millions to Hunter Biden, they knew they had to double down. And in classic fashion, Democrats and the left have engaged in an orgy of casting accusations against other people of their own worst crimes.

Hunter Biden could owe the millions he made in Ukraine from Burisma back to the people of Ukraine as a part of an asset recovery process under U.S. law. Under 22 U.S.C. Section 8904(a): "The Secretary of State, in coordination with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury, shall assist, on an expedited basis as appropriate, the Government of Ukraine to identify, secure, and recover assets linked to acts of corruption by Viktor Yanukovych, members of his family, or other former or current officials of the Government of Ukraine or their accomplices in any jurisdiction through appropriate programs, including the Kleptocracy Asset Recovery Initiative of the Department of Justice."

And now we know the new Ukrainian Prosecutor General Ruslan Ryaboshapka has expanded his office looking at the theft by Burisma and the company's head, Mykola Zlochevsky, of stealing $33 million from the country's central bank. The monies are all fungible, so it is likely Biden profited from this alleged theft while at Burisma, even if it was years later. It looks like he was hired to keep this investigation from happening, so giving the money back is the least the younger Biden could do.

Hunter Biden's China connections plagued by ethics questions and national security concerns

As the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry into President Trump deepens, a spotlight has been cast on Hunter Biden ventures abroad not only in Ukraine but in China, where he set about investing while his dad served as vice president.

The questions come as Republicans are demanding that Hunter Biden - the 49-year-old son of Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden - appear before Congress to testify on his work.

For almost six years, the firm connected to Hunter Biden in China has moved more than $2.5 billion into various automotive, technology, energy, and mining endeavors.

Analysts point to the plethora of "ethical challenges" of Hunter doing such deals in China while his father was in the White House.

"At a time when the Obama administration was trying to pivot to Asia, a policy that ultimately fell flat, one has to at least stop and think what connections between policy and personal interests were there," said Harry Kazianis, senior director for the Center for the National Interest. "While chances are Hunter Biden was doing what a lot of family members of famous politicians do - cash in on their name - it looks dirty."

Biden served as one of nine directors of the private equity firm Bohai Harvest RST - better known as BHR Partners - which is 80 percent mandated by shareholders in the Chinese government, according to the Wall Street Journal.

The firm was registered less than two weeks after Biden flew with his then-vice president father on Air Force Two for official business in China in December 2013, but his lawyer has previously stated that talks were in place months earlier.

In the closing days of that December, China's central bank, the bank of China in conjunction with Rosemount Seneca - the firm Biden founded in 2009 with John Kerry's stepson Christopher Heinz and family friend Devon Archer - set up the $1 billion investment joint venture called Bohai Harvest RST. The "RS" signifies Rosemount Seneca, and the "T" is in reference to the Thornton Group, a Massachusetts-based international consulting company established by James Bulger, the nephew of infamous mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger.

Eustace Mullins: Communism is Jewish Cabalism

A plank in the Communist Manifesto was the establishment of a private central bank. Every country with one will gradually become Communist because the Cabalist Jewish central bankers must protect their fraudulent monopoly over the national credit by extending it to a total political, economic and cultural monopoly i.e. Communist tyranny.

Communism is Cabalism, a Satanic cult which inverts reality and morality. It dehumanizes and degrades Jew and non-Jew alike. We have been inducted into this cult. Just look at the hysterical cult-like reaction to Trump by mainstream media, politicians and corporate CEOs who are all central bankers lackeys. There is very little independent thought or investigation. Say goodbye to Western civilization and hello to the NWO. Ezra Mullins (1923-2010) was a pioneer in exposing the subversion of humanity by Cabalist bankers.

Disclaimer- I disagree with Mullins' assertion that the "parasitism" of the bankers represents all Jews. I am not a parasite nor is my family nor are many Jews. They work as hard as anyone else. Nor do they know anything about their "religion" or the bankers' pernicious agenda. I realize that Jews are at the forefront of the NWO but most other Jews are dupes like everyone else. Mullins was a racist in that he imputed certain characteristics to all Jews regardless of their actual beliefs and individual behavior. People who feel aggrieved are the first to victimize other innocent parties.

Pope names new financial regulator chief following police raid

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-vatican-raid-regulator/pope-names-new-financial-regulator-chief-following-police-raid-idUSKBN1Y11FK

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis named a respected senior bank of Italy official on Wednesday to head the Vatican's financial regulator, following unprecedented police raids on the organization as part of an investigation into the purchase of luxury London real estate.
Pope Francis leads the weekly general audience at the Vatican, November 27, 2019.

Carmelo Barbagallo, 63, former head of supervision at Italy's central bank, succeeds Swiss lawyer Rene Bruelhart as head of the Vatican's Financial Information Authority (AIF).

Bruelhart left last week after five years in the post when the pope did not renew his mandate.

Vatican police entered the offices of the AIF and of the Secretariat of State - the administrative heart of the Catholic Church - on Oct. 1, as part of their investigation of an investment the Secretariat had made in London real estate.

The officers, operating under a search warrant secured by the Vatican's own prosecutor, seized documents, computers and cellphones during the raids.

Q Research General #9436: Moar Memes,Diggs n Bewbs for the cause! Less Whine! Edition

I'm looking ahead to the next GREAT battle The Maestro and the Q Team will need to undertake after the initial orgasm of cutting off the minions of the globalist pigs who believe <<they>> "own" the world.

This battle relates directly to the [DS]/globalist scum takeover in the late 70's/early eighties when they began to buy up all of the publishing houses that produce education materials, replacing truth and actual history with the globalist scum propaganda. That is why we now have moronials, brain-dead wastes of oxygen like the basement-dwellers in the anti-first amendment fascist organization and about 99.88 percent of those "identifying" as the non-existent "democrat" party…non-existent because it is impossible to have a "democratic-socialist" as those two terms cancel each other out…you either believe in a "democratic" form of government or you believe in a socialist dictatorship.

We now have at least 2 generations of children who have been brainwashed since they were in kindergarten into believing they are the problem and that the only solution is to give up ones money, freedom, dreams, hopes, homeland and true history to a group of decidedly sub-intellect worker-bees for the globalist scum trying to destroy all forms of "of, for and by the people" in nations all over the world to replace it with socialist nightmare dictatorships with absolute pond-scum like bernie sanders, pocahontas and the entire lineup on the socialist side…except for - to be fair - tulsi gabbard who, while still an idiot for espousing demonrat talking points and fighting against freedom FOR the people is far above the other sub-intellects in the demonrat race for the bottom…and they will ALL destroy everything good in life in America if they EVER get into power again.

Remember: 1913! The year of the greatest treason in American history when a demonrat house, demonrat senate and demonrat (and VERY racist) president committed treason by violating the American Constitution and their Constitutionally mandated responsibilities by allowing the setting up of a foreign-scum "central bank" owned and controlled by these foreign-scum and their intellectually, ethically and morally bankrupt servants in the demonrat party, turning hundreds of millions of Americans (and Canadians) into debt-slaves for generations just so the globalist scum and their fawning minions can have a comfortable, stress-free, money-rich existence while standing on the corpses of the people.

Want to take freedom back? Excise the pond scum from all public life. Excise the propaganda-filled globalist owned/controlled educational publishing houses. Re-do exams for all graduates from universities to make sure those people holding "degrees" (in anything other than basket weaving or navel gazing) have actual, real, truthful knowledge and are not just parroting the globalist scum doctoring of reality.

Americans must never forget the last 113 years of slavery of ALL Americans orchestrated and implemented by the treasonous demonrat party!

ALL AMERICANS must keep this uppermost in mind - demonrats have always been slave owners. demonrats owned ALL slaves, demonrats created the kkk, demonrats voted against ending slavery, demonrats voted against allowing their slaves to vote, the demonrats voted against giving female slaves the right to vote, or be equal.

Anyone in America, ABSOLUTELY ANYONE who thinks the demonrat slave-owners should be voted for is NOT American!

China central bank Warns Downward Pressure On Economy Increasing

Several weeks ago, the People's bank of China (PBOC) said it would "increase counter-cyclical adjustments" to prevent downward pressure on the economy. Now the PBOC is warning that it might not be able to ward off these downward pressures in the short term, reported Reuters.

The PBOC's annual financial stability report said China would continue to deploy fiscal and monetary policies to support the economy but warned economic deceleration would continue through year-end.

Policy maneuvering by the PBOC will be limited as it will likely need to cut rates and the amount of money banks put down as reserves to promote credit growth.

The PBOC recognizes the rapid deterioration in the economy, along with the limitations of monetary policy to revive growth.

Likely, credit creation via the PBOC won't be in magnitude seen in the last ten years used to save the world from escaping several deflationary crashes.

The government will likely stabilize its economy or at least create a softer landing through tax cuts and infrastructure spending, the annual report said.

What this all means is that China's economy isn't going to save the world as it has done since 2008. China's credit impulse has rolled over, the probabilities of a massive global economic rebound in the coming quarters are unlikely as China continues slow.

Sri Lanka's central bank Governor Submits Resignation


Coomaraswamy says his decision is for personal reasons. Governor to chair his final policy meeting this week.

Sri Lankan central bank Governor Indrajit Coomaraswamy said he submitted his resignation earlier this month and plans to leave his post in December.

The decision was due to personal reasons and not related to recent political changes following last week's election, Coomaraswamy said by phone from Colombo. He'll chair his final monetary policy decision on Nov. 29 and leave the bank on Dec. 20, he said.

"I tended a letter of resignation on Nov. 4. It has nothing to do with elections and politics," he said. "It has been in the making" since last year, but had been put on hold due to the 2018 political crisis and April terror attacks, he said.

Under his leadership since July 2016, the central bank has raised interest rates to a six-year high to curb inflation and took measures to stem the currency's slide. The bank cut rates twice this year after economic growth took a knock from political turmoil and the Easter Sunday bomb attacks, which hurt tourism to the island nation.
Sri Lanka's presidential election this month was won by Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, brother of strongman President Mahinda Rajapaksa, who ruled from 2005 to 2015.

The governor said he tendered his resignation to President Maithripala Sirisena. Mohan Karunaratne, a spokesman for new president Rajapaksa, wasn't immediately available to comment.

Bitcoin slumps below $7,000 mark for first time in 6 months

Digital currencies slump on fears of China crackdown

Bitcoin fell below the $7,000 mark on Sunday for the first time since May.

The price of bitcoin BTCUSD, -3.90% was last around $6,850, according to Coindesk, after slumping about 24% over the past month. In June, the leading cryprocurrency topped $9,000 for the first time in more than a year, eventually topping out above $13,000.

The recent tumble is being attributed to China's recent announcement that it will crack down on crypto trading. A statement by the People's bank of China on Friday warned it was increasing "supervision and control to combat virtual currency transactions."

—-"Investors should be careful not to mix blockchain technology with virtual currency," the central bank said, warning of the many risks of cryptocurrency trading.—-

There has also been speculation in recent months that China is preparing to launch a state-run digital currency, though the PBoC denied such a report earlier this year.
Bitcoin is not the only digital currency to suffer - Ethereum ETHUSD, -3.81% is down 22% over the past month and Ripple XRPUSD, -6.35% is off 25% over that span.

Still, the price of bitcoin is up 85% year to date, while Ethereum is up 8% and Ripple is down 37% in 2019.

As of Sunday night, bitcoin's market cap was $126.3 billion, according to Coinmarketcap.com, while Ethereum was $15.5 billion and Ripple was $9.7 billion.

Asia Stocks Set for Worst Day of Year as FX Meets Trade

Bruised by the Federal Reserve and beaten by President Donald Trump's comments on trade, Asian stocks lost over $700 billion in market value last week. It didn't get any better Monday.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slumped as much as 2.2%, set for the worst slump this year as trade tensions escalated and the yuan hit a record low.

Let's start with the trade war. The trade tension heightened when Trump ratcheted up his rhetoric late Friday by saying he could boost levies on China to a "much higher number." In response, China's government has asked state-owned enterprises to suspend imports of U.S. agricultural products, people familiar with the situation said.

China Asked State Buyers to Halt U.S. Agriculture Imports

The Chinese government has asked its state-owned enterprises to suspend imports of U.S. agricultural products after President Donald Trump ratcheted up trade tensions with the Asian nation last week, people familiar with the situation said.

China's state-run agricultural firms have now stopped buying American farm goods, and are waiting to see how trade talks progress, the people said, declining to be identified as they're not authorized to speak to the media. China's commerce ministry didn't respond to a fax seeking comment.
https://www.bloomberg.com//news/articles/2019-08-05/china-asked-state-buyers-to-halt-u-s-agriculture-imports

Meanwhile in Hong Kong, the city's protests also escalated with a general strike and commute disruptions. The city's chief executive Carrie Lam condemned protesters challenging China's sovereignty, saying they wanted to "completely ruin Hong Kong".

The Hang Seng Index slumped as much as 3% to its lowest since January, almost wiping out gains for the year. "The ongoing protest and riot has started to erode investor confidence about the city's future, in particular the real estate, luxury retail, tourism and even the public transportation sector," said Margaret Yang, a market analyst at CMC Markets Singapore Pte Ltd.

Also in the region, there was no let up in the tension between Japan and South Korea, with South Korean Prime Minister Lee Nak-yon on Sunday urging Tokyo to correct its "reckless and risky" decision to curb exports to the country.

Meanwhile, market participants were readying for the week's central bank meetings in India, Philippines, New Zealand and Australia. Click here to read Bloomberg Intelligence's estimates on these events.

Of course one thing the more optimistic investor could pin their hopes on is further monetary support amid all the macro uncertainty. They will be happy to hear from bank of America Merrill Lynch strategists including Helen Qiao, who wrote in a note that the escalation in trade tensions may lead to further policy easing in China. The team believe the PBOC will gradually pump more liquidity into the economy when needed, and it may also tolerate more currency adjustment to counter the trade shocks.

Putin's Pledge to Ditch the Dollar Is Slowly Becoming a Reality

Euro closes in on dollar as top currency for exports to EU. India agreed to pay Russia in rubles for defence sales.

Russia is acting on a pledge by President Vladimir Putin to shrink the role of dollar in international trade as tensions sour between Washington and Moscow.

The shift is part of a strategy to "de-dollarize" the Russian economy and lower its vulnerability to U.S. sanctions. But while the central bank was able to quickly dump half of its dollar holdings last year, progress in trade has been slow due to ingrained use of the greenback for many transactions.

The share of euros in Russian exports increased for a fourth straight quarter at the expense of the U.S. currency, according to central bank data. The common currency has almost overtaken the dollar in trade with the European Union and China and trade in rubles with India surged. The dollar's share in import transactions remained unchanged at about a third.

"There's been a strong incentive to change, not just for Russia but for its trading partners too," said Dmitry Dolgin, an economist at ING bank in Moscow. "The European Union is also now facing trade pressure from the U.S." pushing them to try to reduce dependence on the dollar, he said.

The euro came close to replacing the dollar as the currency of choice for Russian exports to the European Union, with its share climbing to 42% in the first quarter from 32% a year earlier.

Russia still relies on the dollar for more than half of its $687.5 billion annual trade, though less than 5% of those deals are with the U.S. Part of Russia's motivation to shift is that companies suffer delays on as much as a third of international payments in dollars because Western companies have to check with the U.S. whether the transactions are allowed, Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov said in December.

The euro's share also increased in Russia's $108 billion annual trade with China, jumping to more than a third of export settlements in the first quarter from almost nothing at the start of 2018. This shift, which covers commodity sales and big state contracts, has been accelerated by the development of payment infrastructure at the central bank and other lenders, according to Sofya Donets, an economist at Renaissance Capital in Moscow.

Trade in yuan is difficult because of capital restrictions that limit foreigners' access to Chinese assets, Dmitry Timofeev, who heads the Finance Ministry's sanctions department, told the RBC newspaper.

"The yuan isn't completely convertable, which means it can't play a significant role in world trade," Timofeev said.

The most dramatic shift is visible in Russia's $11 billion trade with India. The ruble accounted for three quarters of total settlement in exports between the two emerging markets after they agreed on a new payment method through their national currencies for multi-billion-dollar defense deals.

"The trend is likely to continue because the infrastructure for transactions in alternative currencies is improving," Renaissance Capital's Donets said. "Russia won't be able to give up using the dollar completely though, especially for trade of oil."

this is why VP was let out of the US treasury notes starting in 2017 and accelerated in 2018. You can't do this without the help of the the original issuer, US treasury-he used most of the proceeds to buy gold.
still has to exist with the EU so you can't just shut off yourself from them, hence the using of euro's will continue to rise as long as the chinese use them to settle trade balances-the yuan is not usable(on a large scale) because they are in massive printing mode to save themselves-no one wants to be "caught" holding them during an inflationary currency cycle.

Rates Markets Ripe for Shake Up as Five Asia central banks Meet

Rate cuts expected in New Zealand, India and Philippines.
This week looms as a key one for Asian financial markets with no less than five central banks set to hand down decisions that may set the tone for the rest of the year.

Markets are predicting policy makers in India, the Philippines and New Zealand will all cut interest rates to shore up faltering growth, while those in Australia will pause after back-to-back moves, and Thailand looks set to avoid lowering borrowing costs at all.

The Reserve bank of Australia is first up on Tuesday, with markets expecting it to stay on hold after cutting rates in June and July to a record 1%. The next reduction is currently priced for December, with a further one expected in mid-2020.

There's a growing perception the RBA may be unwilling to lower its benchmark below 0.5%, suggesting there is a possible floor for rates just a few basis points below next year's pricing. This would appear to create an asymmetric risk, i.e., there's a much more room for rates to rise than fall.

The Reserve bank of New Zealand announces policy Wednesday. Markets are fully pricing in a 25 basis-point cut from the current 1.5%, a follow up to a similar move in May. Swap markets suggest the central bank will cut again later this year, and possibly once more by April.

A lot is priced in, but RBNZ has said it may allow interest rates to fall as low as minus 35 basis points, according to a Treasury paper prepared earlier this year looking at options for unconventional monetary policy. That means there's plenty of room for rates to go lower.
The Reserve bank of India also announces Wednesday, and markets are broadly pricing in a rate cut this week and another in the next six months. The central bank lowered its repurchase rate to a nine-year low of 5.75% in June and paved the way for more easing. Significant rate cuts would do a lot of good for the country, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said last week.

More easing is coming and that should be bullish for Indian swap rates, especially as there's plenty of room to keep cutting if inflation stays in check. Data released earlier this month showed consumer prices rose 3.13% in June from a year earlier, below RBI's target of 4%.

Some economists are predicting a rate cut when the bank of Thailand meets Wednesday but the market isn't pricing one in. The central bank has preferred to use verbal intervention and reducing bond supply to guide the local currency rather than adjusting interest rates. The stronger dollar has taken some pressure off the baht (and the central bank) and may help push up short-dated rates as well.

The forward curve has shifted lower since the end of May with three-month money-market rates fixing about 30 basis points below the central bank's benchmark. This would typically signal lower rates, but in this case appears to reflect a stronger baht, and the flat-term structure argues against any change in central bank rates.

The diverging outlooks for the five central banks announcing policy this week throws up a number of potential trades. Signs of stability in Australia and a possible floor under rates provides some room for Aussie short-end rates to rise, particularly against those of New Zealand where there is plenty of scope to ease.

Turning to Southeast Asia, Thai swap rates may be set to underperform as the baht has room to soften, while rates in the Philippines and India have scope to reset even lower. In the world of cross-market positions though, it's important to remember everything is relative.

Below are key Asian economic data and events due this week:

*Monday, Aug. 5: China Caixin composite PMI;
expect MUCH PAIN HERE
Indonesia GDP; Taiwan foreign reserves
*Tuesday, August 6: Reserve bank of Australia policy decision; New Zealand jobs; CPI release from Philippines, Taiwan; South Korea current account balance
*Wednesday, Aug. 7: Reserve bank of India policy decision; Reserve bank of New Zealand policy decision; bank of Thailand rate decision; Taiwan trade balance
*Thursday, Aug. 8: Philippine central bank rate decision; China trade balance (and PAIN here too)
*Friday, Aug. 9: Japan GDP; China CPI, PPI (good ruck here as well)

EU settles on World bank official Georgieva to lead IMF

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Union governments picked Bulgaria's Kristalina Georgieva as the bloc's candidate to lead the International Monetary Fund after more than 12 hours of talks on Friday that highlighted the EU's internal divisions.

The 65-year-old chief executive of the World bank got the backing of a majority of the 28 EU states, defeating the Dutch candidate Jeroen Dijsselbloem after two rounds of voting and prolonged negotiations among EU nations.

"Congratulations Georgieva for being selected as European candidate to lead the IMF. In the face on rising global tensions, it is imperative to uphold the IMF as symbol of multilateralism," said the chair of eurozone finance ministers, Mario Centeno.

Georgieva is a center-right politician who grew up in Bulgaria under communism before a career that brought her to the top of the World bank and the European Commission.

Most EU states backed Georgieva even though her candidacy will force a change in IMF rules that require the managing director to be younger than 65 years old when appointed. The need for that change could weaken the European candidate if a sufficiently large number of IMF member states oppose the reform.

However, a European official said support from EU countries and the United States would be enough to overhaul the rules in the global fund that has historically been dominated by the Western bloc. According to an IMF fact sheet, a bylaw change to remove or modify the age limit would require approval by a majority of board votes cast.

The source added that France, which is leading the European selection process, had already secured Washington's support on this change.

A U.S. Treasury spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment on Georgieva's nomination, but U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin spoke highly of her work in a Reuters interview last month.

The top job at the Washington-based world lender has always been filled by a European. The former IMF chief, France's Christine Lagarde, resigned in July after EU leaders chose her to replace Mario Draghi as European central bank president.

"Great news and well deserved," said World bank President David Malpass in an emailed statement to Reuters. Georgieva "brings strong leadership and deep country knowledge," he added.

Georgieva said in a tweet that she was relinquishing her World bank resonsibilities and would take administrative leave during the nomination process.

A group of countries led by the Netherlands and Germany preferred Dijsselbloem, but were outnumbered by southern and eastern states who backed Georgieva, in a new sign of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's fading clout in the EU bloc.

Since an informal compromise was impossible among increasingly split EU nations, France decided to use a complex voting system, under which only the candidate who obtained 55 percent of the votes of the 28 EU states, representing at least 65 percent of its population, would win.

Georgieva got the backing of 56 percent of EU states, which represented only 57 percent of the bloc's population, falling short of one requirement.

But Dijsselbloem conceded defeat. "I congratulate Kristalina Georgieva with the outcome of today's European votes. I wish her the utmost success," he said on Twitter after the second voting round in which he had remained as the only opponent to Georgieva.

Dijsselboem, a former head of eurozone finance ministers, steered the eurozone out of the debt crisis, orchestrating with the IMF the bailout of Greek, Cypriot and Spanish banks.

But he was opposed by high-debt EU countries for the austerity measures attached to the rescues.

After the first round of voting earlier on Friday, Finland's central bank Gov. Olli Rehn and Spanish Economy Minister Nadia Calvino withdrew from the race. Mario Centeno had pulled out on Thursday.

Britain opposed the plan to select a candidate now, saying it was "premature" and did not allow London enough time to propose one of its own as the country has just formed a new government, according to a confidential note seen by Reuters.

Hillary transfers $1.8 billion from the Clinton Foundation to Qatar

I don't know if this is true, but media reports that on Saturday October 15, 2016 Hillary Clinton and John Podesta met with Jamie Dimon at The Chappaqua Compound outside of New York City.

Within 12 hours of the Hillary Clinton-John Podesta-Jamie Dimon meeting, the bank of International Settlements registered the transfer of $1.8 billion from the Clinton Foundation to the Qatar central bank.

Sounds suspicious. Why would Hillary transfer $1.8 billion out of the country?

Well, recently a backup data device called a "Datto," containing a full record of Hillary Clinton's 33,000 deleted private emails was found to exist. Judicial Watch has discovered the "Datto" device is in the possession of the FBI.

Should be interesting.

Irish central bank Says Country Needs More Migrants to Keep Wages Down
1 Aug 2019

The central bank of Ireland believes that not enough migrants are arriving to have a "wage-dampening effect", and that "if wages are not downwardly flexible" it could become a "concern".

The Irish central bank, roughly equivalent to the bank of England in the United Kingdom or the Federal Reserve in the United States but less independent insofar as it is subject to the European System of central banks, under the broad purview of the European central bank (ECB), insisted that the country is "is likely to require significant inflows of workers from abroad over the coming years, provided the economy remains on a favourable growth trajectory".

Reports published by the bank recall that mass immigration "was a major feature of the Irish labour market during the period from 2004 to 2007" - before the financial crash - but that while net migration "increased to 34,000 in 2018, the third consecutive year of strong gains", the inflow now skews towards more highly-skilled migrants, allowing wages to rise.

"As the supply of labour is scarce relative to demand, workers' bargaining power increases and the price of labour increases," the report notes, claiming that that "sustained increases in net inward migration will be needed in the coming years to ensure that growth will be not impeded by labour supply constraints."

Not enough migrants arriving to keep pay down - central bank https://t.co/1AwgTqV4jh pic.twitter.com/6CyXfTgJMC

- Independent Business (@IndoBusiness) July 30, 2019

The bank's reports do acknowledge that mass immigration does tend to increase "both rents and prices" and that "increased numbers of migrants will create overheating pressure in other areas of the economy, and particularly in the already congested housing market" - but appears indicate that policymakers should ultimately come down on the side of employers who insist they must retain access to large pools of foreign labour, in the name of sustaining "growth".

The report suggests that the bank's preferred way to alleviate the inevitable pressure on housing would be to simply build more of it, as "continued focus on addressing housing supply shortages can help ensure that Ireland remains an attractive location for the migrants who will be needed to fill vacancies in the labour market".

The impact on the Irish countryside, congestion, social cohesion and so of this sort of exponential expansion of the foreign-origin population and housing stock appeared to receive little consideration.

Q Research General #9337: Placeholder Population Start August 2019 Edition

US Market Report

Was a great day going until the Chinese Tariffs were announced. This is POTUS playing hard-ball as he knows the Chinese are trying to wait him out
and think they can upset him in the 2020 election. The longer they wait the worse of a deal they will get as the screws will get tighter and tighter.
The answer, regarding who took this action with the announcement comes from CNBC's Eamon Javers, who tweets that far from unilateral, Trump's tweet came
"in the wake of an 11:30 meeting this morning at which President Trump got a report from Treasury Secretary Mnuchin and Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer on their meetings in Shanghai this week."
So time to put the adults in charge as these two had three days to do something and when that lack of progress was rpeoted to POTUS guess what?
Nevermind the Chinese markets are full-on retarded with printed yuan. If you think ours are bad they grew too far, too fast
and will only pay moar of a price the longer the extend these negotiations. pepe warned ya it would get bumpy as this is the consequence of high-stakes chess.

POTUS said in a series of tweets that the U.S. would slap 10% tariffs on $300 billion of Chinese goods starting Sept. 1.
It also affected the retail sector dramatically, The SPDR S&P Retail ETF plunged more than 3%, on pace for the worst day since May. Best Buy, Office Depot and Abercrombie & Fitch all tanked about 10% following the news.
Department stores are also under pressure following the tariffs announcement. Macy's and Nordstrom both dropped about 7% while Kohl's tanked more than 8%.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce said in a statement on Thursday the new tariffs "will only inflict greater pain on American businesses, farmers, workers and consumers, and undermine an otherwise strong U.S. economy."
Really Nigga's????, haven't you done enough damage with your globalist pandering bullshit?-FUCK OFF!!

The move immediately rippled across financial markets, sending stocks DJIA, down more than 200 points and causing the yield on the 10-year Treasury TMUBMUSD10Y, -6.34% to slump to its lowest level since November 2016-See Cap#3-BIG PAIN here.
This is impacting the short-end moar than the long end as 2 yr notes are down almost 8% and 30 yr notes are just under -4% for the day.
Not helping this is the ISM numbers, just moar fuel to the fire, The Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing gauge for July came in at 51.2%, the lowest since August 2016, below analysts' expectations for 51.9%.
Any number above 50% represents an expansion of economic activity, but the factory indicator has fallen sharply in the past few months.
In other economic data, construction spending in the U.S. fell 1.3% in June.

Expectations for the Fed to cut rates by 25 basis points at the September meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee climbed to 70.4%, from 48.6% a day ago, CME Group data show-See Cap#4
This is going to get moved around just like it did prior to last week settling down in front of the FOMC meeting. Each time a news item comes out it will move.
Already covered in morning report but bears repeating is the BOE doing nothing: The bank of England left the policy rate unchanged at 0.75%, but cut its economic growth forecast for 2019 to 1.3% from 1.5%.
The U.K. central bank noted the impact of Brexit-related uncertainty on business investment, adding that the economy had a one in three chance of falling into a recession.
The 10-year U.K. government bond yield TMBMKGB-10Y, -2.63% fell 3 basis points to 0.589%.

Irish central bank Says Country Needs More Migrants to Keep Wages Down

The central bank of Ireland believes that not enough migrants are arriving to have a "wage-dampening effect", and that "if wages are not downwardly flexible" it could become a "concern".

The Irish central bank, roughly equivalent to the bank of England in the United Kingdom or the Federal Reserve in the United States but less independent insofar as it is subject to the European System of central banks, under the broad purview of the European central bank (ECB), insisted that the country is "is likely to require significant inflows of workers from abroad over the coming years, provided the economy remains on a favourable growth trajectory".

Reports published by the bank recall that mass immigration "was a major feature of the Irish labour market during the period from 2004 to 2007" - before the financial crash - but that while net migration "increased to 34,000 in 2018, the third consecutive year of strong gains", the inflow now skews towards more highly-skilled migrants, allowing wages to rise.

"As the supply of labour is scarce relative to demand, workers' bargaining power increases and the price of labour increases," the report notes, claiming that that "sustained increases in net inward migration will be needed in the coming years to ensure that growth will be not impeded by labour supply constraints."

EU members at odds over IMF chief to replace Lagarde


EU members have yet to reach a consensus on a candidate to replace Christine Lagarde as head of the International Monetary Fund, missing a July deadline they set themselves to fill the job, the French finance ministry said Thursday.

"At this stage, although some candidates' names gather more support than others, there is not yet a full consensus around one name," the ministry, which is spearheading efforts to find a replacement for France's Lagarde, told reporters in a message.

The post of IMF managing director goes to a European by convention while an American heads the World bank.

The post became vacant after Lagarde was tapped by EU leaders to head the European central bank.

Several names, including Spain's Finance Minister Nadia Calvino and former Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem and bank of England governor Mark Carney, have been floated as possible successors.

Some headlines
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.
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-fanniemae-results/fannie-mae-net-income-falls-seen-paying-3-4-billion-to-u-s-treasury-idUSKCN1UR4OT
what this tells pepe is that they have an ASS-ton of interest rate swap derivatives that are not performing due to already mentioned fall in rats. This will only get worse as they all expected rates to rise over time.

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."

>FED Announces 0.25% Rate Cut

CNBC - FED CUTS RATE BY A QUARTER POINT

KEY POINTS
The policymaking Federal Open Market Committee drops the target range for its overnight lending rate to 2% to 2.25%, or 25 basis points from the previous level.
The Fed cites "implications of global developments for the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures" in its first rate cut since December 2008.
The Fed also leaves the door open to future cuts, saying it will "act as appropriate to sustain the expansion."
The central bank also ends its balance sheet reduction two months earlier than planned.

Chief Economist Loses It After Historic Rate Cut, Slams Fed In Epic Rant
'dey mad
The following epic rant from MUFG chief economist Chris Rupkey hardly needs any commentary, as it is about as close to a perfect reaction to the idiocy unleashed by the Poiwell Fed as can get.

Congratulations to all of you down in Washington who have lowered the boom on interest rates today. We guess you must be feeling pretty proud of yourselves. US central bank policymakers have learned nothing from the experience of low interest rates in Japan or Europe. The economies of Japan and Europe aren't going up like a rocket ship and it is doubtful economic growth will see any greater liftoff here in the good old USA.

Go ahead and eliminate interest rates. Wall Street is already eliminating thousands of jobs in sales and trading and more rate cuts mean reduced margins and less volatility and thousands more will be told to go. Hedge interest rate risk. What interest rates?

Countries with low rates have economies with low growth. The Fed's decision today is like in the days when doctors bled their patients to heal them. Fed officials made a very unwise decision today and buckled to the president's demands by manufacturing reasons to cut interest rates despite a strong economy with no recession signs apparent anywhere out on the horizon.

The stock market may be partying today, but it will wake up with a huge hangover tomorrow as the Fed alters the way the country saves and spends and borrows and invests forever. I think they are probably proud of themselves, but they should really be more ashamed.

The Federal Reserve threw away their independence today and with each future rate cut they will gradually eliminate their relevance to the economy forever.

Team Obama Cash Aid & Their ISIS Gold

How US sent $12bn in cash to Iraq & watched it vanish: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/feb/08/usa.iraq1

US Seizes $2.1 Billion ISIS Gold:https://www.americancryptoassociation.com/2019/03/02/us-seizes-2-1-billion-isis-gold-no-bitcoin/

US Seizes $2.1 Billion ISIS Gold, No Bitcoin
March 2, 2019 / Bitcoin, Commodities, Crypto, News

Under cover of darkness, 50 tons of gold worth some $2.1 billion was lifted by US helicopters from the al-Baghouz area in Syria's Deir Ezzor according to state run news agency Sana.

The gold was transported to the U.S. military base in Kobani and then left for the United States with a portion of it given to the Kurdish led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) which have been fighting ISIS.

Sana claims a deal was struck which spared hundreds of ISIS field leaders and experts in return for the gold, citing unnamed local sources.

Voice of America (VoA) previously reported that "the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), told VOA that it had confirmation from the ground that IS was holding 40 tons of gold bars in Syria."

"This gold was stolen from the central bank of Mosul, from the economy in Syria that was under the control of IS, and from the selling of Syrian and Iraqi antiquities, like smuggled antiquities from Palmyra that were sold to smugglers and traders through Turkey," Rami Abdulrahman, head of SOHR, said.

It's unclear how many ISIS fighters were let go, with no official confirmation of this alleged deal as it stands, but SOHR previously said:

"The U.S.-led coalition forces and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) deliberately do not target the areas under the control of the ISIL terrorists and commanders in Eastern Euphrates in Deir el-Zour as they are trying to locate this treasure by forcing the ISIL militants to speak about its location after surrendering."

With the treasure now seemingly located and transported out of the country, the final assault has begun with 15,000 SDF forces moving into the northeast Syrian village of Baghouz.

An evacuation of civilians was previously underway, with 50,000 mostly women and children streaming out of Baghouz since December.

An estimated 3,000 ISIS fighters are determined to fight to death according to SDF, with the last battle now unfolding.
No Bitcoins?

Previous reports have suggested that ISIS raised funds in bitcoin with Europol stating they had asked for bitcoin and Zcash donations.

Reported crypto amounts, however, have been very small with ISIS at its height making most of its revenue from clandestine oil sales or looting of newly occupied areas.

The stupendous hotness of the region would have made crypto mining very difficult, with any bitcoin coming from sparse donations due to the public nature of the blockchain.

There are suggestions some of these donations may have been used to buy hosting for ISIS affiliated websites, but most of their funds were clearly held in gold or in cash.

That gold has now been seized with it unclear whether US is to hold it or return it to Mosul. Just as it is unclear how the peace can now be won if the war is indeed over.

US Market Report

The three major U.S. stock indexes were in the red, pressured by consumer discretionary and technology stocks. apple earnings are due in a few minutes, they always make people wait.
Some analyst chatter out during the day: Pfizer Inc's stock dropped 6.6%, weighing the most on the healthcare index, after brokers downgraded the stock following the drugmaker's announcement on Monday that it would spin off its Upjohn unit and merge it with Mylan.
Merck & Co Inc edged higher after reporting better-than-expected second-quarter results and raising its full-year earnings forecast.
Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the NYSE by a 1.15-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 1.72-to-1 ratio favored advancers.
U.S. Treasury yields came off session lows on Tuesday (See Cap#3) after investors saw additional signs of strength in the U.S. economy, with healthy consumer spending and consumer confidence indicators reported.
The two-day Federal Reserve meeting also kicked off, with investors expecting at least a 25 basis point interest rate cut from the U.S. central bank.
Irish government bonds softened up amid growing questions over what a no-deal Brexit would mean for the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
What else is on investors' radar?
Most will look towards the all-important U.S. monthly jobs report at the end of the week. Muh "academics' expect about 160k jobs for friday's report.
As trade talks between the world's two biggest economies resumed in Shanghai on Tuesday, Trump warned China against trying to wait out his first term in office to finalize a deal.
Commerce Department data showed U.S. consumer spending and prices rose moderately in June, pointing to slower economic growth and bolstering the case for monetary easing.
The Conference Board's indicator of consumer confidence for July jumped to 135.7 from a previous 124.3 in June-remember much of this is credit so take it with a grain of salt, it's a survey too.
The BOJ declined to lower rates, however they don't have much room either way so not a surprise. The usual rhetoric about "waiting to see etc".
Seeing how they own over 50% of the ETF and equity markets they are trapped to say the least. Thanks Kuroda and Aso you spergs!!
The CME Fed Watch Futures are at this level now: 78.1% for .25bps cut and 21.9% for larger. This has been steady for about 10 days now +/- a few points either way.

Now on to Commodity's, Silver kicking some paper ASS today and looks realy good here. The expected dumps have not materialzed as they have in the past. Save a small attempt yesterday morning that
was quickly bought and it had a v-bottom and marched upwards from taht bottom. A good sign that traders (it's still paper so keep taht in mind) have less of an itchy trigger finger on this. In the past
any sign of weakness was sold INSTANTLY and that beget moar selling-feedback loop that the COMEX idiots counted on. That seems to be gone for now. See comments in Cap#4
Oil is covered in part two today with a good article discussing the reality of over-supply and why prices should have dropped. They will as soon as this speculators get reigned in.
When that habbens is anyone's guess. Here is where to see the Open interest for COMEX silver: https://ycharts.com/indicators/comex_silver_futures_open_interest
Thye also have link for another metric called the COT or Committment of Traders report however it is a useless one as in the past it has portrayed many millions of OZ's being moved yet no one has ever been able to see
any evidence of this. you'd think a picture would have been snapped by now. This goes back t JPM getting a vault on a fast-track application process. This report is and has always been garbage yet it exists.

Saudi Arabia deposits $250 million into central bank of Sudan

Saudi Arabia has deposited $250 million into the central bank of Sudan to support its financial position, the Saudi Finance Ministry said in a statement on Tuesday, reports Reuters.

The financial grant is part of a package with the United Arab Emirates worth $500 million announced in April. Both countries pledged an overall $3 billion in aid, with the rest going towards fuel, wheat, and medicine.

The grant is aimed at alleviating pressure on the Sudanese pound and achieve stability in its exchange rate, the ministry said.

In April, mass protests led the Sudanese army to topple President Omar al Bashir.

However, Sudan's economy is still haunted by Bashir's legacy - the penalties imposed for his support of militant groups and for the offensive he launched to crush rebels in the western region of Darfur.

Because Sudan is still listed by the United States as a state sponsor of terrorism and has $1.3 billion of IMF arrears, it is unable to tap the IMF and World bank for support. Sudanese banks have struggled to re-establish correspondent relationships with foreign banks.

POTUS warns China not to wait for 2020 U.S. election to make trade deal
U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday warned China against waiting out his first term in office to finalize any trade deal, saying if he wins re-election in the November 2020 U.S. presidential contest, the outcome could be no agreement or a worse one.
"The problem with them waiting … is that if & when I win, the deal that they get will be much tougher than what we are negotiating now…or no deal at all," Trump said in a post on Twitter, as the latest U.S-China trade talks began in Shanghai.

Futures were down at a decent clip and follow-on action confirms this at the open however it has made it's way back up nicely in the ensuing first hour of trading.
Gold had a slow steady rise from our close into world-wide trading later in our evening into early morning. Still nice and stable but has a small dip as it works it's way into the "meat" of our session.

pepe has followed thi smarket for many years and knows it well. Please take note of the continued GREAT pressure being applied to the nutsack of the money-changers.
Overnight the bank of Japan declined to make any changes to it's monetary policy, this could be a harbinger of what ewe see tomorrow as they cited these two factors:
*First, USD/JPY was quite consistently parked in the 108.5-109.0 range in the immediate run-up to the meeting.
*Second, the BOJ may have worried that frequent adjustments to forward guidance might give off the impression that the bank had used up all of its actual monetary policy ammunition.
well no shit sherlock but you already shot your was over the last several years. Kuroda and his band of idiots have nowhere to go either way as your two emergency meetings earlier this year shows that when the yen appreciates
you will print to contain it. Then there is this from April, it was 40% last March (2018)and it's no wonder they choose to do nothing:

BOJ NOW TOP 10 SHAREHOLDER IN 50% OF NIKKEI
Japan's central bank is quietly nationalizing its entire market. The BOJ has gone from being a Top 10 holder in 40% Japanese stocks last March, to 50% just one year later.
bank of Japan now owns a stunning 75% of all Japanese ETF
As of March 2018, the Japanese central bank had become a major shareholder in nearly 40% of all listed companies.
This, of course, in addition to the BOJ's trillions in Japanese JGB holdings, which at last check were over 100% of GDP and 43% of all outstanding.

Overstock CEO says FBI encouraged him to have a sexual relationship with Russian spy Maria Butina

The multimillionaire CEO of Overstock.com engaged in a sexual relationship with Russian spy Maria Butina with the encouragement of the FBI but did not follow their directions when they told him to rekindle it, he has claimed.

Patrick Byrne met Butina for the first time at FreedomFest, an annual libertarian convention in Las Vegas, in July 2015. He told the Washington Examiner that Butina approached him after his keynote speech, telling him she was the leader of a gun rights organization in Russia, but he "brushed her off." Butina later approached him again and said she worked for a top official at the central bank of Russia and invited him to speak there.

By his account, the 57-year-old CEO, who said he holds a low-level security clearance, reported the contact with Butina, 30, to the U.S. government. The FBI then gave him a "green light" to get to know Butina. The two began a romantic relationship, which ended in March 2016. Four months later, he said, the FBI asked him to rekindle the relationship with Butina.

"The second period, I did it because I was instructed to rekindle it. However, I decided that was not the right thing to do," Byrne said. "But I was told where the orders came from, and the orders came from high enough that I accepted the orders. I just want America to know that I didn't lay a finger on her that second time."

Byrne said this second phase with Butina lasted until March 2017, and that he was swept up in "political espionage," meeting with the FBI to discuss her.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-7-4-tons-of-venezuelas-gold-landed-in-africaand-vanished-11560867792

ENTEBBE, Uganda-The government of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is selling off his country's gold reserves. Some of it has passed through a secretive operation in East Africa, a gambit that evades U.S. sanctions.

On two early-March flights, at least 7.4 tons of gold with a market value over $300 million moved from Venezuela to a refinery in Uganda, say officials in Venezuela and Uganda, a foreign diplomat and Venezuelan opposition lawmakers, who have concluded Mr. Maduro's government exported the ingots.

The gold arrived on a Russian charter jetliner in two shipments at the international airport in Entebbe, says Ugandan national-police spokesman Fred Enanga. The accompanying paperwork identified the ingots, some with stamped labels partially scratched off, as Venezuelan central-bank property, says a senior Ugandan police officer who saw the bars and documents. Flight records show the trips originated in Caracas, Venezuela.

The shipments expose one link in a global underground economy

Overstock CEO Says FBI Pimped Him Out to Russian Spy; FEDS Instructed Tech Exec to Trade Sex for Intel

https://truepundit.com/overstock-ceo-says-fbi-pimped-him-out-to-russian-spy-feds-instructed-tech-exec-to-trade-sex-for-intel/


The multimillionaire CEO of Overstock.com engaged in a sexual relationship with Russian spy Maria Butina with the encouragement of the FBI but did not follow their directions when they told him to rekindle it, he has claimed.

Ironically, The DOJ had alleged Butina offered sex in exchange for influence in DC but now the FBI is being accused of the same charges.

Patrick Byrne met Butina for the first time at FreedomFest, an annual libertarian convention in Las Vegas, in July 2015.

"The second period, I did it because I was instructed to rekindle it. However, I decided that was not the right thing to do," Byrne said. "But I was told where the orders came from, and the orders came from high enough that I accepted the orders."

He told the Washington Examiner that Butina approached him after his keynote speech, telling him she was the leader of a gun rights organization in Russia, but he "brushed her off." Butina later approached him again and said she worked for a top official at the central bank of Russia and invited him to speak there.

The FBI then gave him a "green light" to get to know Butina. The two began a romantic relationship, which ended in March 2016. Four months later, he said, the FBI asked him to rekindle the relationship with Butina.

The revelation of Butina's relationship with Byrne marks another twist in the case in which Butina was portrayed as using sex to infiltrate political groups, including the National Rifle Association. Prosecutors later walked back that assertion, which Butina's lawyer slammed as sexist. READ MORE:

Guggenheim Expects Stocks to Crash 50% In The Next Recession

One could get whiplash listening to Guggenheim's Scott Minerd's rapidly changing opinions these days.

Back on May 29, the weightlifting CIO of the $265 billion asset manager, made a gloomy forecast on CNBC, predicting that the stock market sell-off is likely far from over, and said stocks would go "somewhere below the lows in December." Near term, he saw an "immediate move" down to around 2,730 on the before it drops further. Oh, and he also said the next move by the Fed will be a rate hike.

Oops.

Not even two months later, everything miraculously changed, and on July 15, again on CNBC, Minerd changed his tune by 180 degrees, and no longer seeing any crash, said that he now thinks the S&P 500 could rise 15% and approach 3,500 before the end of year, comparing the current market environment to a 1998 rally amid interest rate cuts.

"This rally - whether you're looking at bonds, you're looking at stocks, high yield, pick whatever you want - is all being driven by liquidity. And the central banks around the world have basically signaled that they are going to step on the accelerator," Minerd said adding that the Fed has "kind of hit the panic button" and that "you're going to see the money flow out of the central banks into bonds, which will free up capital and that will naturally find another place to migrate to and ultimately it will end up in the hands of stocks."

And so, Minerd now had all bases covered, with a soundbite to say he was right if stocks crashed, and another if they melted up by another 500 points. Actually, there was one base that needed covering: the same one that Trump has been pounding every single day, namely that if it all goes pear-shaped, it will be the Fed's fault (he is actually right about that), and today, Minerd - undaunted by his recent dismal track record in making public predictions - slammed the Fed saying that the Fed should hike interest rates, not cut them.

The consequences of the Fed's actions in the next week - the U.S. central bank is expected to cut interest rates by a quarter of a percentage point - could be with us for much longer than we think, culminating in the next recession and increasing the risk to financial stability.

In the meantime, the Fed could be delivering yet another sugar high to the economy that doesn't address underlying structural problems created by powerful demographic forces that are constraining output and depressing prices.

Like we said, this time Minerd was correct, though we wonder: why does it take all these sophisticated financial professionals a decade to realize (or admit) what we have been saying since 2009. Must have something to do with vested year-end bonus options…

In any case, just in case everyone wasn't completely confused yet, today's Minerd released yet another research report in which he tried to predict not only when the next recession would hit ("we maintain our view that the recession could begin as early as the first half of 2020, but will be watching for signs that the dovish pivot by the Federal Reserve (Fed) could extend the cycle"), but also how severe it will be.

It is here that things get ugly, because as Guggenheim notes, credit markets "are likely to be hit harder than usual in the recession. This stems from the record high ratio of corporate debt to GDP and the likelihood of a massive fallen angel wave." With that in mind, the bank notes that "when recessions hit, the magnitude of the associated bear market in stocks is driven by how high valuations were in the preceding bull market." And given that valuations reached quite elevated levels in this cycle, Guggenheim expects "a severe bear market of 40-50 percent in the next recession."

Here are some additional details, starting with Guggenheim's framework for when the next recession will hit: here, the bank notes that its Recession Probability Model rose across all horizons in the first quarter of 2019, and while near-term the recession probability remains subdued, over the next 24 months recession probability more than doubled compared to the third quarter reading. The deterioration in leading indicators, further flattening of the yield curve, and tightening of monetary policy all contributed to rising recession risks through the first quarter. And since Guggenheim expects these trends to continue and growth to weaken in 2019, it expects recession risk to rise throughout the year.

Fiat based currencies inherently collapse. Confiscate central bank assets and put the proceeds in the Treasury. The Donald has only had 4 bankruptcies, I thought? We need a 21st century banking system, not the post WWII out of date system we have now.
