Re: The Mother Of All Frauds
Shall we make the tea Earl Gray? I'm DEFINITELY ALL FOR another American Revolution. And I'll be your Patrick Henry. As for me and my house, "Give me Liberty or give me death!" My grandparents came over here with nothing and struggled here for years. I honor them by stepping up to take this country back for the next generations they came here to give freedom to.
I am totally and completely disgusted with what has happened. How many of you saw former President Clinton on the daily show with Jon Stewart. I don't think I've seen anyone so pi$$ed off and so ready to shout from the rooftops about how badly we have been abused by this administration. Even though many have stuff against him and Hillary, too. I also watched Oprah's show with Suze Orman. And that woman could hardly contain her anger either. She got down and dirty and told the people like it was. It is time for us to stop our spending and start living within our means. And she said it to the audience,"what THIS United States government did to You!" She made no bones about it. Both were very good shows, if you can, catch either one on the net. http://www.comedycentral.com/ http://www.oprah.com/index (tues show Sept 23) |

Re: The Mother Of All Frauds
Even before any congressional deal has been made, details are already starting to emerge of behind-the-scenes activities by the Fed and the major banks to help themselves to major heaps of cash. This just in from Elliott Wave International:
http://www.elliottwave.com/freeupdates/archives/2008/09/24/$138-Billion----Just-Inferences,-We-Hope.aspx: $138 Billion -- Just Inferences, We Hope Lehman, J.P. Morgan, The Fed and Citi (and $138 billion) By Robert Folsom Wed, 24 Sep 2008 19:30:00 ET Email | Print | RSS | My Updates Bookmark and share It! It may seem like a long time ago, but it was only Monday of last week (Sept. 15) that Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy; the equally big news was that the Federal Reserve declined to bail Lehman out. I've read several details regarding Lehman's demise and learned some interesting facts. The bankruptcy filing was "pre-dawn" on the 15th, according to Bloomberg. The filing document is available in pdf form on the internet: it names Lehman's largest unsecured creditors, and the dollar amounts of their claims. "Citibank, N.A., as indenture trustee" is listed as Lehman's largest unsecured creditor, with a claim of "Approximately $138 billion" in "Bond Debt." Following Lehman's filing, J.P. Morgan transferred $138 billion in two payments to Lehman Brothers -- $87 billion on Sept. 15th and $51 billion on Sept. 16th. Bloomberg reported that the transfer of funds was "keep financial markets stable," and to settle Lehman's "securities transactions with customers...and clearance parties, according the [court] filing." After these transfers, also according to Bloomberg, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York made two subsequent payments to J.P. Morgan: $87 billion on Sept. 15th and $51 billion on Sept. 16th, for a total of $138 billion. Lehman's bankruptcy court filing said that J.P. Morgan's $138 billion transfer to Lehman was "At the request of... the Federal Reserve Bank of New York." I have not been able to find an explanation -- in media reports or from the Federal Reserve -- of why J.P. Morgan needed to be a party to the $138 that Lehman received, and that the Fed transferred. I'm also unable to find an announcement from the Fed that it was making the transfer. One could infer that J.P. Morgan was used as a third party in order to avoid the perception that the Fed was assuming $138 billion in obligations that were in default upon Lehman's bankruptcy -- despite the Fed's statements regarding not bailing out Lehman Once could also infer that such an action by the Fed was specifically a $138 billion bailout of Citibank, which was the dollar value of the Lehman-issued bonds Citibank held. Citibank issued a Sept. 15 press release saying that its "role in this issue is administrative in nature and does represent exposure for Citi to Lehman." The statement did not identify who or what owned the $138 billion in bonds. I hope that more facts become available showing that the inferences are mistaken, and I invite journalists and others to bring any such relevant facts to light. |

Re: The Mother Of All Frauds
This **** sickens me. I don't know how we can revolt against this totalitarianism. I think the general populace is too ignorant to be willing to join a revolution, so the next option is to leave the country? I'd like to move to a country that has something similar to the rights given under the constitution but i've no knowledge on foreign countries.

Re: The Mother Of All Frauds
Hi GenerationIke,
I completely agree with your view. We are Co-creators, we can change ourselves and the World, for the Reality is but what we choose, decide, think and do/or refrain from doin. What is once done, could also be undone. Thanks for the links - truly to the point! Regards to the Noble Lady Semjase. Salome. RaKaR futureofmankind.co.uk |

Re: The Mother Of All Frauds
The 700 Billion dollar bailout is a nefarious number, most predictions are it will be closer to 2 Trillion or more.
This was a comment posted at Ron Paul's campaignforliberty.com website today. The new and improved campaignforliberty.com debuts tomorrow. Check it out. Ron Paul introduced a bill back in June to abolish the Fed. You can search for a copy of it on his website: campaignforliberty.com COMMENT: EVERYONE LISTEN UP THE VOTE IS MEANINGLESS. THE FED DOES NOT NEED CONGRESS' APPROVAL. THEY STILL MADE 600 BILLION OUT OF THIN AIR TODAY. THE ONLY THING TO STOP THE FED IS TO ABOLISH IT. IN APRIL 2008 GWB GAVE THE FED TOTAL CONTROLL OVER ALL MONETARY POLICY. WE LOST OUR FREEDOM IN APRIL. SITE MANAGER TELL THESE PEOPLE THE TRUTH. THIS VOTE DOES NOT MEAN A THING. HERE IS A LINK IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE ME. http://www.jbs.org/index.php/jbs-new...ederal-reserve STOP BEING SHEEP. |

I can understand him doing it on the HELOCs, because until the housing market turns around, they are worth nothing. The HELOCs bad paper should be handed over to the Treasury for 5 cents on the dollar, to hold until the market turns around. So would bailing out each bank be better than just freeing their credit? for each Nickel these are sold for to the Treasury, the bank can loan 9 times as much, so they instantly recover 50% of what they just lost... I think this is a pretty quick way to get the wheel turning again. Last edited by Rocky_Shorz; 10-01-2008 at 05:32 PM. |
