Another Bandit Bernanke Multi-Billion $$$ Bank Bailout Blunder

The National Memo – Markets Surge As Federal Reserve Offers New Stimulus

Oh Pleeese, who does Ben Bernanke think he is kidding?!  Congress has the ability to say, “Don’t buy bad debt.”

The stock market surged today because the Federal Reserve announced it was going to take $40 Billion of our tax dollars per month “until further notice” and buy inflated, defective, fraudulent mortgage-backed securities (MBS) indefinitely from the banksters.

Does that really make any sense? Continue reading

RSN: Will the Peasants Go Medieval on Bankers?

February 10, 2022: Questions: Is the rush to vax to beat out the new COVID tests or the domino fall of the pension funds worldwide? Whose fault are the shortfalls aka pension deficits aka losses aka zero (0) funds? Now ask the title question.

“The pension industries in many countries are in a bad way. According to a Citibank report from 2016, the 20 largest OECD countries alone have a US $78 TRILLION shortfall in funding pay-as-you-go and defined benefit public pensions’ obligations. This shortfall is far from trivial. It is equivalent to about 1.8 times the value of these countries’ collective national debt.” CLICK HERE

So, what’s this? Another charade? Did Geithner or Bernanke suggest, “Hey Barack we’ll fix it, we’ll just file a big lawsuit against everybody and then we’ll cut a deal that let’s the banks off the hook for everything for the $20 billion the AG’s won’t settle on…”

The federal agency that oversees the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is set to file suits against more than a dozen big banks, accusing them of misrepresenting the quality of mortgage securities they assembled and sold at the height of the housing bubble, and seeking billions of dollars in compensation.

The Federal Housing Finance Agency suits, which are expected to be filed in the coming days in federal court, are aimed at Bank of America, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank, among others, according to three individuals briefed on the matter.

The suits stem from subpoenas the finance agency issued to banks a year ago. If the case is not filed Friday, they said, it will come Tuesday, shortly before a deadline expires for the housing agency to file claims. Continue reading

Obama Administration Tries to Protect Banksters Urging AG Cooperation

MaxineIt was midnight Sunday. I couldn’t sleep.  NY Times emails me an alert to Gretchen Morgenson’s article about how the Obama “I only care about the banks” Administration is trying to negatively influence the NY AG (my hero) Eric Schneiderman who is gunning after the Wall Street banks for their foreclosure fraud and Ponzi scheme that collapsed our country. I was angry, tossing and turning all night thinking about how I would blog my emotions. When I awoke there were several other well-respected bloggers that expressed my feelings for the leader of the unemployed, homeless, “free” world better than I ever could.

The Women Who Left Obama

When women continually walk out of your life it says a lot about your personality.  In business it says a lot about the operation of the company.  In the Obama administration good women have been bolting since the beginning of his term and a common theme seems to surface:

Ellen MoranEllen Moran, Communications Director.
Ms Moran lasted less than three months in the Obama administration, announcing her sudden departure in April 2009. Some commentators speculated that Ms Moran had had a difficult time breaking into Mr Obama’s tight-knit circle of close advisers – most of whom had worked with the president for many years – making it hard for her to carry out her role.
