In an unprecedented move, the Fed and the International Swaps and Derivatives Association allowed derivatives trading today, on a Sunday, to “reduce risk associated with a potential Lehman . . . bankruptcy.”
Lehman holds $ 800 billion in derivatives.
As the very even-keeled and level-headed chief executive of Pimco, the world’s biggest bond fund, said:
“This is an extremely, and I stress extremely, rare event. It also speaks to the more general notion that, in today’s highly disrupted financial markets, the unthinkable is thinkable.”
What is the “unthinkable” he’s referring to?
Another great depression. Perhaps even a world-wide depression.
To see why derivatives are the key to the financial crisis in the U.S. and the world, and why the Fed allowed derivatives trading today, read this.

THE SUNDAY SALE WAS TO MINIZE SCRUTINY – IF EVER THERE WOULD BE – AND HIDE ANY & ALL ‘THEFT OF ASSETS’, PRICE-FIXING & ‘INSIDER TRADING’ VIOLATIONS while the OLD WEALTHY WHITEBOYS smoked HABANAS & STOLE AMERICA while its Citizens sat in CHURCH!
How FITTING ALL Americans would get RAPED as about 1/2 of them – the WHITE ONES – prayed DESPERATELY for a MCCAIN/PALIN VICTORY as they prepared themselves to make that LAST-EVER ‘RACIST’ vote for PRESIDENT of this NEAR-DEAD REPUBLIC. RACE OVER REASON!!!

Actually Sunday is the 1st day of the week. Roman emperor Constantine changed the solemnity of the sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. This Sunday worship will figure in with the mark of the beast.
Baalism is alive and well.

Special interests groups and investment bankers run America. Howl ye rich men. For in 1 hour all your wealth has come to nothing. God’s will shall be done. Personal salvation with a personal relationship with Yeshua is the ticket out of wrath. Amen

Hey julian C. #4, Good points keep up the good work. However please consider the Name alittle closer…Yah-u-shua! Yeshua actually means ‘to blott out’ the Name of Yah as the Mashiach! You’ll find the Name Yah in Psalms 68v4! So Yah is, not Yesh! Keep up the WORD–s though! Repent AmeriKa! Yah will judge you all according to His standards! not your own beliefs or your own norms, only according to His written Law whom is Yahushua! The written WORD made flesh, He died on a STAKE, not the mithra cross, and He arose leading captivity captive! Repent! Do not use the Name of the Father in vain!

I expect they were hoping for soem miraculous religious event on Sunday in Lehman brothers…
Like “turning the toilet paper into gold” or something on that level.. There is a form of justice after all. Money is not the root of all eveil.. The love of it is.. And those who lived for money are feeling the burden of their ways..
Maybe it will make better people of them… But I doubt it.

Sunday Bloody Sunday
The Wall Street Shuffle

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged & plundered & ripped her & bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
& tied her with fences &
Dragged her down!

They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

Funny, brokerages don’t allow trades on a Sunday. Were govt marketmakers getting an edge over the public?

So much for a fiat money system. Americans should have kept to the Constitution. So, we reap what we sow. Diffinitely deviratives are the same way to cause a crash as a margin call was to the average American in the late 1920’s.

Perhaps they were hoping the Salvation Army would give them back all the money they donated over the yeras?
Or
1. ) They were hoping a charity would buy them at what they were actually worth and $20 over?
2. ) The were hoping the ground under Lehman Bros would open and spew oil forth in uncontrolable amounts securing everuy job with Lehman Bros so they could spit in every American and any other borrower’s face/
3. ) They though God himself thought they were more imporatnt than anything else on earth that day and decided to save them?
4. ) They didn’t give one s--- about another human being..only smoke and numbers to “create bonuses” off imaginary funds borrowed at taxpayer expenses?
5. ) The employees were so shortminded and selfish they thought they would be immune to their own actions?
6. ) ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MORE.. The list could go on for pages..But why bother..they wouldn’t care anyway…

Very interesting article, about how derivative-based financial system collapse contributes to the neocons’ world depopulation agenda.

This collapse of our financial system will be so bad that the great depression will seem like good times. Don’t expect a solution from government. In fact, it’s the problem.

Aren’t you people tired of complaining? If one took news seriously he’d be suicidal by now.

If the government dares to bail out Lehmen, and the people do not rise up, then the country is doomed. The problem is getting the truth out there and for Americans to take off the blinders.
The Constitution and the Republic of these United States must be fought for by every American.
The only solution, though slow, is to abolish the Federal Reserve. Thomas Jefferson warned and fought hard against a Federal Reserve, foretelling what would happen. He was right.
Our people and our nation was the most prosperous when we were a true Republic. No income taxes were ever needed because each state had its banks lend money to the people. The interest on the loan went toward the needs of the state, such as roads, etc., thanks to Ben Franklin.
We must become a true Republic once more.
