By Shah Gilani: The Daily Reckoning: Port Philip Publishing Co Central Banks: The Ultimate Tool of the Rich and Powerful Central banks - of which the Federal Reserve is, by far, the world's largest & most powerful - serve banks first & foremost. Secondly, they serve their host govts.They are the ultimate tool of the rich & powerful.If you don't realize that, think about what just happened in Cyprus. The Euro Central Bank, with the backing of Germany (whose banks have the most at stake in Europe) just reached into private depositors' accounts in two Cypriot banks to legally take out as much money as they needed.To do what?To give the money to the ECB to give to its constituent member banks (that want upfront cash) so the ECB can in turn make another loan - out of thin air - to Cypriot banks to give them the time to get...

"...I am convinced that the agreement [Bretton Woods] will enthrone a world dictatorship of private finance more complete and terrible than and Hitlerite dream. It offers no solution of world problems, but quite blatantly sets up controls which will reduce the smaller nations to vassal states and make every government the mouthpiece and tool of International Finance. It will undermine and destroy the democratic institutions of this country - in fact as effectively as ever the Fascist forces could have done - pervert and paganise our Christian ideals; and will undoubtedly present a new menace, endangering world peace. World collaboration of private financial interests can only mean mass unemployment, slavery, misery, degradation and financial destruction. Therefore, as freedom loving Australians we should reject this infamous proposal. -- Labor Minister of Australia, Eddie Ward, during the inception of the World Bank and Bretton Woods, he gave this warning."

BFCSA: RBA quietly increases Bankster Bailout Buffer $380 Billion at 3.4%

Posted by Denise on Wednesday, 06 March 2013 in Bank Bandits

RBA quietly increases banks’ bailout buffer afr 6/03/2013 CHRISTOPHER JOYE In a globally unique policy, the Reserve Bank of Australia will supply banks with a permanent bailout facility worth up to $380 billion by 2015. The policy has been designed by the RBA to help banks satisfy stringent new liquidity tests which simulate “acute stress scenarios” that deny banks funding for 30 days under the post-GFC rules, Basel III. Local regulators argue that insufficient liquid assets such as government bonds meant they had no choice but to give the banks a new taxpayer-backed “line of credit” that could be tapped at a cost just above the RBA’s cash rate. Smaller building societies and credit unions are not subject to the liquidity tests and will not, therefore, have access to the bail-out fund. Remarkably few people inside or outside financial markets are familiar with, or understand, this “committed liquidity facility”, which will...

BFCSA: PHILIP SOOS ; 150 year history of Australian Property Prices

Posted by Denise on Friday, 15 February 2013 in Bank Bandits

The history of Australian property prices Date February 13, 2013 Philip Soos Magnificent set of charts showing housing prices, mortgage debt, inflation and tracking consequences over 150 year history. We urge all our readers to take a look at the Macro Business website. http://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2013/02/the-history-of-australian-property-values/ For those interested in the Australian residential property market, a long history makes for fascinating reading. Australians are fortunate because much data on real estate and financial markets is publicly available, going into depth not seen in other countries. Careful scrutiny can yield useful ratios that go back over a century and offer context for where the market is now. Comparing housing prices to inflation is one of the more common indicators in property market analysis. If the trend is fairly even over time, then there is no indication that people are favouring housing relative to other goods and services. On the other hand, if...

It seems timely to resurrect this Americanism from the 1930s - one of many evocative words the United States has contributed to the English language, says Harold Evans. Americans are pretty good at adding words to the English language. We owe them pin-up girls, highbrows, killjoys, stooges, hobos, drop-outs, shills, bobby-soxers, hijackers, do-gooders and hitchhikers who thumb a ride. During the time Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain was cost-cutting, he spent $1.1m doing up his office - $86,000 for a rug Hear Radio 4's A Point of View The Americanisms are so much more concise and vivid. Instead of saying "sorry we're late but drivers ahead of us slowed us down when they craned their necks to look at a crash" you can say "we were held up by rubberneckers". Words pop in and out of our language as social conditions change. The American gangster, which is still with us, has...

Didn’t see the Forest Fire for the Trees by Steve Keen

Posted by doyla66 on Friday, 01 February 2013 in Bank Bandits

Into oblivion with an oblivious Fed by Steve Keen Published 8:18 AM, 28 Jan 2013 One of the beauties of the modern age is that documents that once would have been either inaccessible, or taken years of sleuthing to locate, are now readily downloadable from the Web. One such set of documents is the transcripts of the meetings of the US Federal Reserve's Federal Open Market Committee in 2007, all of which have now been released. Everyone who wants to understand why we’re now mired in a permanent economic slump should read these documents – not because it will explain the slump itself, but because it confirms that those who were supposed to ensure that such calamities didn’t occur were clueless about the approaching crisis. Jim Cramer famously ranted precisely the same message at the time, and copped a lot of flak about it, but he was dead right – and...

Does one 'super-corporation' run the global economy

Full story Does one 'super-corporation' run the global economy? Study claims it could be terrifyingly unstable Research found that 147 companies formed a 'super entity' within group, controlling 40 per cent of its wealth By ROB WAUGH A University of Zurich study 'proves' that a small group of companies - mainly banks - wields huge power over the global economy. The study is the first to look at all 43,060 transnational corporations and the web of ownership between them - and created a 'map' of 1,318 companies at the heart of the global economy. The study found that 147 companies formed a 'super entity' within this, controlling 40 per cent of its wealth. All own part or all of one another. Most are banks - the top 20 includes Barclays and Goldman Sachs. But the close connections mean that the network could be vulnerable to collapse. 'In effect,...

FRB 'Permit': An extraordinary privilege & just another fraud bank$ters pulled off

Posted by doyla66 on Monday, 19 November 2012 in Bank Bandits

What's important here is "fractional reserve banking" (FRB) and who creates the 'real money' -v- who issues money? It might seem odd, but through much of history money was created by banks not governments and this practice of privately issued money, especially once combined with FRB made bank$ters immensely powerful. They [bank$ters] got 'free spending power' each time they created a "bank$ter note", without any gold to back it up --just another fraud bank$ters pulled off as a core part of their everyday business. If normal laws had been enforced on bank$ters, FRB wouldn't have existed --because you can't lend out money that someone has given you for 'safekeeping' ; the bank$ters quickly figured out that people never redeemed the gold; realised they could issue far more bank$ter' notes than they had gold --and nobody would notice. " But it is remarkable that a criticism of FRB is published by [IMF] a mainstream institution. We've been ridiculed for making this argument for years....

Steve Keen: Banks central function as creators & destroyers of money.

Posted by doyla66 on Monday, 05 November 2012 in Bank Bandits

"The critical feature of our theoretical model is that it exhibits the key function of banks in modern economies, which is not their largely incidental function as financial intermediaries between depositors and borrowers, but rather their central function as creators and destroyers of money. A realistic model needs to reflect the fact that under the present system banks do not have to wait for depositors to appear and make funds available before they can on-lend, or intermediate, those funds. Rather, they create their own funds, deposits, in the act of lending. This fact can be verified in the description of the money creation system in many central bank statements, and it is obvious to anybody who has ever lent money and created the resulting book entries."

BFCSA reveals: Big 4 Mortgage Service Agreement

Posted by doyla66 on Saturday, 06 October 2012 in Bank Bandits

.......More Secret, shall I tell you? Hmm?..... a Big 4 ......... current mortgage service agreement I bring...... .........ask your bank if its sold your mortgage....... "Indeed, there was fraud at every step of the mortgage process. The big banks intentionally signed up borrowers with insufficient income and assets, threw out the documentation because it would prove fraud, racked up loan fees and received short-term payments before all of the new borrowers ran out of money, and then laundered the bad loans into securitized instruments to sell to the suckers." A mortgagee and a lender have intertwined rights that defy a clear separation of interests, especially when such a purported separation relies on ambiguous contractual language. The law generally understands that a mortgagee is not distinct from a lender: a mortgagee is "[o]ne to whom property is mortgaged: the mortgage creditor, or lender.". By statute, assignment of the mortgage carries with...

Nazi Money and Looted Gold in Swiss Banks: The attitude of Banks appalling

Posted by doyla66 on Saturday, 29 September 2012 in Bank Bandits

Holocaust Money in Swiss Banks The offer of the three Swiss Banks - Union Bank of Switzerland, Swiss Bank Corporation and Credit Suisse to pay $600 million to Holocaust victims is insulting. 90 percent of the money represents interest over a period of over 50 years that the Banks refused to acknowledge that there was any money to return. In 1934, a year after Hitler's rise to power sent tremors of fear across Europe, the Swiss legislature passed a law guaranteeing anonymity to anyone who transferred his savings to a Swiss bank. Soon deposits were coming in from all over Europe, particularly from Jews who feared the Germans would plunder their savings. It appears there was a conspiracy between Nazi Germany and Switzerland to lure Jews under cover of confidentiality, to send their money to Swiss banks, who in due course sent the details to Germany. Who thus forced the Jews...

Banking Inquiry Speech by Senator John Williams in the Australian Federal Senate March 12, 2009

Posted by doyla66 on Saturday, 08 September 2012 in Bank Bandits

I rise tonight to talk about what I consider to be the greatest oxymoron in Australia at the moment—that is, ethical banking. I wish to relate some of my experiences during the early 1980s when my family were involved in a foreign currency loan in Swiss francs. We drew down the loan in January 1985. Shortly after that, we saw the depreciation of the Australian dollar. There was only one way to protect yourself from those loans and that was to hedge your loan. I went to my bank manager, Peter Neil—a good man who lives out here near Goulburn these days—and requested that I hedge my loan. He informed me that I could not, that that would change our currency and you could do that only at rollover periods. The rest is history because Mr Neil was wrong. The bank had not trained their staff properly and it led to...

Macquarie Bank - new digs for victims Nick-some-Moore?

Posted by Denise on Thursday, 06 September 2012 in Bank Bandits

Dear Mr Moore May I suggest you and your staff all clean out your desks immediately, take your service calculators and start marching out the Pitt St side entrance with your heads bowed in shame, carrying your little card-board boxes, as if in a scene from Lehman Bros, Bear Stearns etc. When the removalists have cleared away all the expensive trappings ready for auction, the proceeds can go to refurnishing the building to house the 100,000 clients of this scandal that we believe your bank engineered in the first place. To say the Lo Doc and No Doc scandal has been the worst bank heist during the past century is an understatement. Did your colleagues wake up one morning in 1993 and think: "lets stitch as many citizens up in debt as we can possibly grab, and then we can escape in 2008?" "Lets flag it to all other banks so it becomes the norm"....is that what you did? "Lets all...

Rescue for Imprudent Banks? Back to 1929 Please!

Posted by doyla66 on Sunday, 02 September 2012 in Bank Bandits

ECONOMIC AFFAIRS: Should we rescue imprudent banks? by Colin Teese News Weekly, August 30, 2008 Those running financial institutions are seldom chastened by the experience of over-lending and the collapse that inevitably follows, writes Colin Teese. To parody a cliché, "Nothing succeeds like excess." The finance industry proves it. But for this we can't really blame market failure. Financial markets don't fail; the normal characteristics of market operation - the possibility of failure as well as of success - have never been allowed to exist. A senior Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) official once conceded as much to this writer. Banking and finance, she insisted, were too important to allow ordinary market considerations to prevail. Governments, even in market-dominated economies, have long agreed. For a century, perhaps longer, the finance industry has been permitted the luxury of pursuing the "glorious irresponsibility" of free-ranging deregulation to the point of destruction. And so,...
