    Rep. Marcy Kaptur gets it right — sort of. Wall Street and the banksters are not irresponsible, as she claims, they are criminals who methodically plotted to loot as much money as they could from the markets and then turn the corpse over to the American people, who they know will be obliged to pay for the damages.

      Here’s a great short article I found that will explain a few things about Wall St. and the credit fiasco from brasscheck tv:

      A short explanation of how we got to where we are

      Today’s banking crisis is the THIRD trillion dollar plus
      US-caused financial meltdown in the last twenty years.

      Each one of these crises came into being through the same basic
      mechanism…the fraudulent over-valuing of financial assets by
      Wall Street – with a “wink and a nod” (and sometimes a lot more)
      from the White House and Congress.

      The fraudulently valued assets stimulate the economy, impart
      the illusion of health and then, inevitably, the fraud goes
      too far and the whole house of card comes painfully crashing
      back to earth.

      The three trillion dollar plus frauds were:

      Fraud #1: The so-called “Savings and Loan Crisis” of the late 80s

      Fraud #2: The so-called “Tech Bubble” of the late 90s

      Fraud #3: The so-called “Credit Crisis” of today

      *** How the scam works

      The mechanism of these frauds is simplicity itself…

      …Take a shaky financial asset and blow up its value
      and then sell as much of it as you can.

      In the “Savings and Loan Crisis,” the instrument was junk bonds.

      In the “Tech Bubble” it was Internet stocks.

      In the “Credit Crisis” it was individual mortgages collected
      into pools and then re-sold to investors.

      In each case, normal, well established “bread and butter”
      financial principles were consciously thrown away by Wall Street
      with no hint of protest from federal regulators.

      ***The “Savings and Loan Crisis” dissected

      Junk bonds caused the Saving and Loan crisis which
      resulted in the US taking over the assets of hundreds of
      banks and selling them back over time to the marketplace
      at fire sale prices.

      Junk bonds, which caused the “Savings and Loan Crisis” were
      shaky bonds that were pumped up by deliberate misrepresentation
      and what I call “staged dealing.”

      Bonds get their value from two things: the amount of interest
      they pay and how safe they are.

      “Junk” bonds have to pay higher interest because they are less
      safe. Therefore, until the “Savings and Loan Crisis,” savings
      and loan banks banks were not allowed by law to buy them and call
      them assets.

      Reagan/Bush changed all this and then a group of Wall Street
      fraudsters used the new loophole to kick off an orgy of junk
      bond creation and junk bond selling to banks and insurance
      companies.

      The crooks would deal the junk bonds back and forth
      amongst themselves thereby establishing their “value”
      and then they’d sell them to outsiders. The bonds
      then became “assets” which could be borrowed against
      and leveraged to buy even more bonds.

      When the bonds failed, the banks failed and in stepped the
      US government to “fix” the problem that it created at the cost
      of at least one trillion dollars to US tax payers.

      Deja vu, eh?

      ***The “Tech Bubble” dissected

      The instrument of fraud in the “Tech Bubble” was Internet
      stocks, start ups in particular.

      A stock gets its value from the underlying company’s sales,
      its growth and its overall prospects for the future.

      Pre-tech bubble, companies used to have to prove themselves
      by being in existence for several years before they could
      be sold on major exchanges. That standard was thrown away
      during the tech bubble.

      To pump of their values, the companies engaged in
      “staged dealing” just like the junk bond crooks.

      Company #1 would “sell” 20 million dollars in banner
      ads to Company #2 which would in turn “sell” 20 million
      in banner ads to Company #1.

      In fact, nobody sold anybody anything. Company #2 ran
      ads for Company #1 and billed it for them. Company #1
      ran ads for Company #2 and billed for an equal amount.

      These should have been called media trades not sales, but
      Wall Street was happy to claim them as legitimate cash sales
      and then use the sales numbers to fraudulently value these
      companies – many of them totally worthless – in the
      hundreds of millions and sometimes even the billions.

      ***The “Credit Crisis” dissected

      By now, you see how the scheme works.

      It’s not complicated at all.

      You take near worthless pieces of paper (junk bonds, stock
      of start up Internet companies, etc.) and declare them to
      be good as gold.

      Then you create as many junk bonds and Internet start up
      stocks as you get and sell them as fast as you can.

      In the case of our current crisis, the instrument of fraud
      was so-called sub-prime mortgages.

      Previously, sub-prime mortgages had very little trading value.
      Only people in the sub-prime industry itself dealt in them and for
      good reason. They’re tricky to value and packed with financial
      peril.

      But Wall Street changed all that.

      Wall Street said: “If we take LOTS of these mortgages and assemble
      them into large pools and then slice and dice the pools in various
      ways, we can sell the slices to banks and other investors as AAA
      paper.”

      It sounds crazy, doesn’t it?

      If the underlying pieces of paper are garbage, how does assembling
      a whole bunch of garbage into one place make it “better?”

      It doesn’t, of course, and this is a principle even a three year
      old child can understand.

      But greed and the need to pump up a shaky economy for propaganda
      purposes are two very strong motivators.

      Banks created these mortgage pools, sold them to each other,
      and they by virtue of these “staged sales” declared them valuable.

      Do you recognize the pattern now?

      If you do, then you are now smarter than all the assembled j@ck@sses
      who do financial reporting because they apparently can’t – or
      won’t.

      This is the THIRD trillion-dollar plus fraud driven financial
      meltdown in twenty years and apparently no one in the financial
      news media can see how it happened.

      ***But there’s more…

      Junk bonds were mass manufactured as fast as the crooks could
      invent them. Ditto for Internet stocks.

      But how did hundreds of billions of dollars worth of “toxic”
      mortgages suddenly come into being?

      Why did the mortgage industry change its lending standards so
      radically and so suddenly to make their creation possible?

      And why did real estate lending regulators in all 50 states –
      because real estate lending is a STATE-level issue not a federal
      - go along with it?

      Here’s where it gets very interesting…

      The fact is state-level lending regulators were VERY concerned
      about what was going on. They have been for years.

      And they not only expressed their concern clearly, they also
      took SERIOUS concerted legal action to stop lenders from making
      bad real estate loans to their citizens.

      (Most of the sub-prime loans in the news so much today were
      designed to screw the people who borrowed the money and can
      rightly be called “predatory” loans.)

      Guess who stopped the states from enforcing their own time-proven
      real estate lending laws and thus created the raw material that
      made the current “Credit Crisis” possible?

      *** The trillion dollar plus question

      If you’re a US taxpayer, you’re going to pay for this fraud
      so you might as well know who did it to you.

      His initials are GB. (George Bush)

      You know him well.

      But perhaps more interesting is the name of the person who
      single-handedly rallied first state attorneys general and then
      fellow governors to fight the creation of these loans and who
      in the process became Public Enemy #1 to the Bush Administration…

      His initials are ES. (Elliot Spitzer)

      If you follow “silly” US political scandals, you’ll recognize
      his name instantly when you hear it.

      And you will *finally* understand why he was quickly and
      permanently assassinated politically earlier this year.

      Had ES been allowed to “live,” he would have been in position to
      remind everyone every day of who made the current meltdown
      possible.

      Instead, he was silenced very effectively. Not with a bullet
      in the back of the head, but the net effect was just the same.

      So effective was his assassination that no one can even
      mention his name in connection with today’s crisis without
      risking ridicule, or worse.

We need names, bank account numbers, property ownership physical locations, business interests, phone records, criminal records, etc….

      Then we need a well-armed hit-squad, of legal eagles of course, to rummage through the lives of these good people.

      Leaving it to the tax payers? Bullshit. We didn’t sign papers to any of these bailouts. We didn’t create the circumstances or plot the ponzy scheme that hatched the rotten financial egg. Besides, when most or all of us are unemployed and destitute how will the bill be paid anyway?

    11. WakeTheFuckUp Says:

      I knew that there had to be an American with balls…i’m just surprised it was a woman. The reason i’m surprised is, for the last seven years all the “tough” Infowar talk has been from the male persuasion.

      One woman with the “guts” to tell it how it is!

      Thousands of “male” Infowarriors with not enough “guts” to stand up for the rights of “all” children!

      A very pathetic and cowardly lot are the American “male” persuasion of the modern era. Content to post comment, retort, reply and all fueled by an endless stream of Infowars article submitters. This constant flow of articles, of which a large percentage is conjecture to say the least, is distracting the serious “truth seeker” with information overload. As the site is operated by Alex Jones…he needs to take a good look at the way he gets the “truth” out there…is he providing a medium for information or distraction…you be the judge!

      And remember you “males” have had seven years to stand up to this Globalist corruption…when do you plan on growing some balls???

      Financial crisis: Default by the US government is no longer unthinkable
      By Liam Halligan
      Last Updated: 12:57am BST 21/09/2008Page 1 of 2

      So, here we are – the start of a new world order. After the tumultuous events of the last fortnight, the global economic landscape will never look the same again.

      Hard times: central banks have acted to avoid a repeat of 1929

      Power has tangibly shifted – away from the United States and the Western world generally, and towards the fast-growing giants of the East. That’s been happening for some years now.

      But September 2008 marks the moment when the scale of our excesses, the extent of our debts and the moral bankruptcy of our financial regulatory system finally began to be truly exposed.

      I say began to be exposed. Back in March, Standard and Poor’s, the US ratings agency, estimated some $285bn (£156bn) of mortgage-backed securities would eventually be written-off by the global banking sector. On Friday, almost unnoticed amid the panic, that forecast was upped to $378bn.

      In reality, total credit losses will be much higher – at least $750bn in my view. But the extent of the 33 per cent one-off increase in S&P’s estimate speaks volumes. It reflects just how little anyone truly knows about either the ultimate size of the sub-prime losses or who ultimately holds the related securities.

      advertisement
      But with one in ten US mortgages now “delinquent” or “in foreclosure”, and house prices still falling, such “toxic waste” is burning holes in balance sheets wherever it sits. That’s why this crisis is far from over.

      Don’t panic, this is not a 1930s rerun
      Comment: Capitalism is far from dead
      Dan Roberts: Putting the crisis on hold
      It’s difficult to overstate the enormity of what happened last week. By any standard, the collapse of Lehman Brothers was a dramatic – and alarming event. One of the biggest names on Wall Street, the 158-year old bank was consumed by the scale of its losses and crippled by executive feuds. Deemed by the US Federal Reserve to be “sufficiently unconnected” to the rest of the global financial system, Lehman was allowed to fold.

      In contrast, American International Group, the world’s largest insurer, was judged “too interconnected” to collapse. So the Fed effectively “nationalised” AIG – the biggest rescue of a private firm in human history. And it’s only a few weeks, of course, since the even more expensive bail-out of quasi-government lenders Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac – which, between them, account for a mind-boggling $5,300bn of mortgages, around half of America’s home loans.

      On top of all that, US Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson sent an $800bn financial rescue plan to Congress. He wants to create a second “Resolution Trust Corporation” – or government-owned asset management company – to take on illiquid mortgage-related debts. The original RTC was established to rescue the US Savings and Loans Associations that went bust in the 1980s.

      And by the way, the Fed has also just offered another $125bn of liquidity to banks outside the US that are desperate for dollars and can’t access America’s frozen credit markets – a move co-ordinated with central banks in Japan, the Eurozone, Switzerland, Canada and here in the UK.

      The combination of these measures – each of them of enormous significance in its own right – sent stock markets shooting-up on Friday. America’s S&P 500 rose 4.03 per cent and London’s FTSE 100 soared 8.84 per cent, its largest one-day rise ever. But, despite the end-of-week euphoria and trader-talk that “the only way is up”, despite America’s undoubted resolve and Paulson’s determination to do “whatever it takes”, the situation remains very fragile.

      Nothing better reflects the amount of fear among banks in America – banks everywhere – than the sky-high rates they’re continuing to charge when lending to each other. Ordinarily, inter-bank (or Libor) interest rates are only slightly above base rates. But with so much uncertainty remaining about the scale and occurrence of “sub-prime” – and with desperate bank executives still so reluctant to “fess-up” their losses – the US Libor rate on money to be paid back in three months is now a staggering 1.5 per cent above base. In recent weeks, Libor rates have shot up in other countries too.

      The week that broke the banks
      More on economics
      More Liam Halligan
      Paulson’s latest liquidity injection has lowered over-night Libor rates for now. But, despite the torrent of cash the US has directed at the credit markets, longer-term inter-bank rates have stayed stubbornly high, and some have gone up further. In other words, even the banks themselves don’t think the rescue plan will work. Expect more – and bigger – liquidity operations in weeks to come.

      The trouble is, though, as the bill for these bail-outs keeps rising, so does the possibility that the political consensus will crack and there’ll be an almighty, and debilitating, dust-up. Paulson’s RTC plan, in theory, could restore confidence. By taking sub-prime loans off banks’ books, it could de-ice the inter-bank market, restoring credit lines to households and firms and preventing the “credit crunch” from shifting wholesale, in that fabled phrase, “from Wall Street to Main Street”.

      my message previously was snatched by censorship desk jockeys

      the movement that is being put upon the nation is the transformation of the american public from:

      sovereign citizen, to naturalized citizen, to contractor citizen.

      they will do the last step two ways: a) US real ID b) the current reorganization underway to bail out the financial instutions

      Henry Paulson gave a contract to congress and said sign this quick : If they had, our nation would be changed on the spot.

      they are out of options, what they need to do is the suggested hostile proposals.

      COG, continuity of government is temporary, so they must make it permanent.

      ALL contractor agencies that willfully disregard the Constitution of the United States for the purposes of COG are invalid, illegal, and will not hold under national scrutiny.

      Do not engage agaisnt the american public, it is unlawful and will result in legal prosecution, fines and jail sentences.

      And pray that now in the final hours of the pre planned wanton destruction of the united states of america by financial and legal proxy that the resourcefulness of our own people makes the much needed difference to flip this monster off our backs.

      God Bless the USA.

And dont worry if noone will believe you, you will have more than enough believers (conspiricy nuts) soon.And if any of you are in the big cities GET OUT NOW, GET OUT NOW. If your buying a house in the big cities, rent it out and go in the country where you can easily retreat to wooded areas. I can assure you this will be a time of trouble such as not seen since the world began. God Bless.
