Other trivia:

- US Federal Reserve is a private institution; not a Government agency. It was created in 1913 by private financiers and the name "Federal" was picked on purpose.

- Income Tax does not have to be paid. There is no law in existence stating that it does. ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/4628/Lehman%20Brothers%2C%20Barnum%20and%20Bailey/#komentari Tue, 30 Sep 2008 04:50:07 GMT milezr http://blog.b92.net/text/4628/Lehman%20Brothers%2C%20Barnum%20and%20Bailey/ budget heist in trouble http://blog.b92.net/text/4628/Lehman%20Brothers%2C%20Barnum%20and%20Bailey/#k339530
I think that this is the first significant muscle-flexing of the american public since 60ies. There will be short-term turmoil in financial worls, as some very rich people will discover that they have no friends any more, but this is essentially a pruning from the top, and that is always good in the long run.

You are wrong, Obama is not a fake. Live the American voters decide whether Obama is good for them or it is the other candidate.

Voters just vote... they cannot DECIDE on something like that. Only Obama himself can.

Anyway, the more you listen to McCain & Obama these days, the harder is to make a difference. They say the same and they are the same to me.... OK, Sarah Palin had an interesting viewpoint though :)

USD 700 billion to bailout the Greatest Financial Show on Earth, the American taxpayer's elected representatives decided to give the poor silly bankers another chance, thus ushering in the thing that no one wants to talk about:
"The Great Depression II: The Revenge"

and not about the presidential candidates. You are wrong, Obama is not a fake. Let the American voters decide whether Obama is good for them or it is the other candidate John McCain).

Nota bene: As for this financial crisis, I wouldn't like to be in the American boots. ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/4628/Lehman%20Brothers%2C%20Barnum%20and%20Bailey/#komentari Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:13:00 GMT vladimir petrovic http://blog.b92.net/text/4628/Lehman%20Brothers%2C%20Barnum%20and%20Bailey/ It's spreading http://blog.b92.net/text/4628/Lehman%20Brothers%2C%20Barnum%20and%20Bailey/#k339366 Fortis bailed out by three Governments

And who can blame him? He has only 2 optable destinies:

1.ESTABLISHMENT with all its privileges and a chance to be voted and have media behind him

2.MARTIN LUTHER KING who is as we all now very dead (partial comparison/different times)

Having some company somewhere in Europe or elsewhere pay for your war trough buying AIR is a genius temporary patch for a huge deficit caused partially by 700 bil worth of war! But long term ...who knows... I am optimistic that people will realize at least trough economic endeavors... but again..history has proven us wrong..very wrong... greed is an effective tool!

Obama realized that it is not the taxpayers that will bear this but the companies elsewhere that have bought these shares. That’s why he is on board with these crooks. So called NATIONAL INTEREST!!!

Does it make any sense to you?

In the beginning not at all because you would expect politician to lie in favour of the system, to exaggerate success and to underestimate loss and problems in the country, at least the politician on power, right?

But not, their rhetoric just calls for crisis, like they welcome it for some reason. And then I start thinking they all work on the same project of deceiving the public, causing stocks prices to drop down and buyng them for close to nothing.

Brooklyn, thanks for explaining in simple words.

But, what I still want to know is - where is the money with which they are going to buy all that - coming from?
I do know they are not going to actually print it, but does it have a "backup"? Long time ago, we used to learn in school, that money has to have a back up in gold or something. Do they have that? Or are they just pulling the money out of thin air?

ok i'll try and help you wrap your brains around this as well. now, i'm not sure what you are thinking, but they are not going to literally print the money, pack it in suitcases and bring it to the banks.

they are going to issue state bonds (treasuries), and buy all kinds of other bonds. these bonds were at some point worth, let's say a 100. now they are worth considerably less, no one quite knows exactly how much and no one quite wants to buy them.

treasury is going to buy them for some price that is going to be less than that 100 it was originally paid for. once they buy, those securities are going to provide them with some return. if they buy them cheap enough, they can make money. if they buy them for more they are worth they end up loosing money. but they are going to do something no one in the private sector currently wants / can do: buy all that crap and put the bottom under the market. ]]> http://blog.b92.net/text/4628/Lehman%20Brothers%2C%20Barnum%20and%20Bailey/#komentari Mon, 29 Sep 2008 12:43:40 GMT Brooklyn http://blog.b92.net/text/4628/Lehman%20Brothers%2C%20Barnum%20and%20Bailey/ Re: Good luck America! http://blog.b92.net/text/4628/Lehman%20Brothers%2C%20Barnum%20and%20Bailey/#k339188

The planned pullout according to the latest news is hmmmm lets see 2010

Ref: BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- An Iraqi politician said Thursday that the Iraqi and U.S. governments are close to reaching a deal under which combat troops would leave Iraq by December 2010 and other troops would leave by the end of the next year. Haider Al-Ababdi, a Shiite parliament member from Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Dawa Party, also told CNN that U.S. troops would leave Iraq's cities to remain inside their bases by June 30, 2009, under the deal....

So the war started in 2003 and ends in 2010? CUmulative price of war is 700 BILLION.... binnnggggg!!!!! number sounds familiar?

Do not want to choke anyone here with my theories as I am not sure if I had captured the right audience but I would be extremely happy to elaborate.

Just think when and how did Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (government sponsored enterprises or GSEs) loose regulations come in place?

)yesAre they mad??
i'm just joking. $700 bilion is not money.

$100 is money
even $10.000 is money

$700 bilion is politics

ps - now serious - it's about how to bail out a american financilal organisatons. nobody expects to see $700 bilion. usa is going to stay behind that debt. and tax payers are going to pay for it. in time. but in return usa are going to come in to assets of banks whose debt they are buying.

While we are all in AWE WaMu (Washington Mutual) has been bought for pennies. Greatest bank collapse in the history of the world went quite unnoticed. Off course bought by JP Morgan who earlier bought Chase ....spiral of unstoppable one bank control system to come in the form of federal reserve who is a private entity by itself.

Where is the free market , the new weapon of neocons in their conquest of the world? While they are eradicating all world economies trough bombing and cheap buyouts in transition (buy a glass factory in Hungary , put a lock on it and sell them glass from China)

THEY ARE PRIVATISING THE GAINS AT HOME AND SOCIALISING THE LOSSES... HEY !!! LETS THINK HERE!

Oh well , politic is the whore and every whore has its price. The power of people in US was long gone and given to small group of greedy people running THE SHOW by Woodrow Wilson on a secret meeting at Jekyll Island in exchange for a campaign funding!

Later he wrote:

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence

What is next ? One currency ? One bank ? One government?

In this new colonial system achieved trough complete submission of peoples by their consent (??? how genius of a plan) no one is spared! Resources are few and money is air! Let’s sit and think before we lose everything in this CASINO ECONOMY of the NWO.

With an ensuite garage.

And no car?

I am no economist either, though we here have all sort of been forced to get familiar with some economic parameters that we would have rather stayed ignorrant about, if we were given any choice - like, hyperinflation, for example.

I keep wondering - where on earth are they going to dig up this fantastic amount of money?
Are they just going to print it?
