"Genom uppköpet ville den amerikanska centralbanken i samarbete med JP Morgan Chase & Co hindra Bear Stearns, USA:s femte största investeringsbank, från att gå omkull. Det hade kunnat utlösa en omfattande kris på kreditmarknaden."

"Före krisen låg bankens aktie på 50 dollar styck. Aktien stängde på 30 dollar i fredags kväll och nu sätts prislappen på Bear Stearns till cirka 2 dollar per aktie, vilket värderar Bear Stearns till runt 236 miljoner dollar (cirka 1,43 miljarder kronor), en bråkdel av dess forna värde. Enligt uppgörelsen kommer centralbanken Fed att bidra till finansieringen med flera miljarder."

Det sista, just den enorma värdeminskningen, påmminner en hel del om något i början av förra seklet.. minns inte riktigt vilken händelse dock... hjälp mig någon... Det kan ha varit något från "from freedom to fashism"

Detta lär nog tolkas som en ren panikåtgärd och få negativa följder, eftersom affären gjordes klar på en söndagseftermiddag.

Det är ganska lustigt om man ser nationer till deras ålder, då är USA inget annat än en brunstig tonåring som ska visa sig duktig hela tiden utan att begripa så mycket. Jag kommer också ihåg att jag själv inte var så duktig på att hushålla med pengar och fick ofta låna.

Dollarn under magisk gräns

'Den amerikanska dollarn kostar för första gången sedan början av 1990-talet under sex kronor. Det senaste raset kom efter Federal Reserves extraordinära åtgärder under söndagsnatten.

En dollar kostade vid 7-tiden imorse 5,97 kronor, det är den lägsta nivån sedan kronan släpptes fri i början av 1990-talet. Det senaste dollarraset kommer efter de senaste händelseutvecklingen i vad som utvecklats sig till en allvarlig kris för hela det finansiella systemet.

På söndagkvällen kom först beskedet att USA:s tredje största bank JP Morgan Chase tar över landets femte största investmentbank Bear Stearns som drabbats av kris. JP Morgan Chase tar över Bear Sterns samtliga åtaganden i en affär som värderar Bear Stearns till endast 236 miljoner dollar, eller 2 dollar per aktie. När USA-marknaden stängde på fredagen noterades Bear Stearns-aktien till 30 dollar, efter ett fall på 47 procent på fredagen.

Därefter kom beskedet att Federal Reserve skapar en ny lånefacilitet som ger marknaden tillgång till finansiering mot säkerhet i ett brett spektrum av "investeringsklassade" värdepapper.

Fed sänker också omedelbart diskontoräntan med 25 punkter, till 3,25 procent, samtidigt som låneperioden förlängs till 90 dagar från 30 dagar tidigare.

"Dessa steg kommer att erbjuda finansinstitutioner en större säkerhet om tillgång till finansiering", sade Fedchefen Ben Bernanke på en för honom mycket ovanlig telefonkonferens.

Men marknaderna blev inte lugnade, tvärtom. I Asien föll börserna brant på de flesta håll, dollarn rasade kraftigt, till sin lägsta nivå på 13 år mot den japanska yenen och till under sex kronor mot den svenska valutan.

Samtidigt som dollarn rasade mot europeiska valutor och den japanska yenen stärktes den mot högräntevalutor som Australien dollar och Nya Zeeland dollar, en signal om ökad riskaversion. Den sydkoreanska wonen rasade brant, det största raset sedan 1998, när investerare fortsatte att dumpa sydkoreanska tillgångar.'

Konsolidering utförd av the FED!! Börjar det på allvar nu när dollarn rasat under 6 kr..?

Lite konstigt hur en centralbank kan gå in och köpa en vanlig bank, dom sitter ju därmed på två stolar, borde ju vara olagligt? Centralbankens roll är ju inte att driva en vanlig bank..

Det var väl JP Morgan Chase som köpte Bear Stearn? Centralbanken är väl Federal Reserve och inte JP Morgan Chase? Fast jag har kanske fel.

Dom köper sig själva, alla banker ägs av samma personer, allt är ett teaterspel för publiken.

Jp Morgan Chase och FED är samma ägare, dom äger aven Bank of england, och ECB, europeiska centralbanken, liksom alla andra banker du kan nämna namnen för.

Usa's centralbank är en privat bank.

Jag menar inte bakum kulisserna... Jag menar vad som är officiellt

"Genom uppköpet ville den amerikanska centralbanken i samarbete med JP Morgan Chase & Co hindra Bear Stearns, USA:s femte största investeringsbank, från att gå omkull."

http://www.dn.se/DNet/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=3130&a=752704

Ser ut som om Centralbanken ( The FED ) tillsammans med Chase köper upp Bern Stearns.. Ett samarbete är väl ett partnerskap detta gör väl att dom har köpt Bern tillsammans? Eller..

A lot has happened in the global financial markets in the last few months. The value of the U.S. Dollar has plummeted at an unprecedented rate. The Federal Reserve has cut interest rates and injected liquidity into markets, causing the devaluation to accelerate.

This newsletter installment will focus on Jim Rogers. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Jim Rogers, let me provide some background. Jim Rogers is the co-founder of the Quantum fund. He founded the fund with George Soros in the 1970s. He is also an author and in 1999, he accurately predicted the current boom in commodity prices. He also served in the U.S. Military. Mr. Rogers is a billionaire and runs a fund of his own from his new home in Asia.

Earlier this week, Jim Rogers appeared as a guest speaker on CNBC. In the interview, he discussed the recent actions of the Federal Reserve and the impact they are having on the U.S. Dollar and, in turn, the wealth of ordinary Americans. The interview is self-explanatory, so I will not provide any more details other than to say that his comments are enlightening and alarming.

It's not just some banks that took risks; it's us. We, as a nation, took a great risk by letting a few big bankers control our money supply, so that instead of earning it fair and square, we get much of it as loans, both personal and national, and then owe our souls to the company store, for generations to come.
With the collapse of the greenback (federal printed money, not bank notes in exchange for federal bonds) after Lincoln's assassination, with the failure of the federal government to regain control of our nations money after McKinley's assassination, with the completion of the transfer of control of our nations money to the big banks (such as JP Morgan and Chase) by the formation of the so-called Federal Reserve in 1913, we are now increasingly owned by the debt that controls us, our mortgages and the national debt, which collects interest in perpetuity for the banks.

The Federal Reserve is misnamed, as it is a consortium of large banks, centered in New York, and as its only significant reserves are U.S. debt -- the American tax payer, paying off the interest in perpetuity.

John F Kennedy tried to regain control of our nations currency from the Federal Reserve with Executive Order 11110.

From http://www.john-f-kennedy.net/executiveorder11110.htm:

On June 4, 1963, a little known attempt was made to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the government at interest. On that day President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order No. 11110 that returned to the U.S. government the power to issue currency, without going through the Federal Reserve. Mr. Kennedy's order gave the Treasury the power "to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury." This meant that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation. In all, Kennedy brought nearly $4.3 billion in U.S. notes into circulation. The ramifications of this bill are enormous.
Five months later, JFK was assassinated, and no more U.S. Notes were printed.
The last man to seriously threaten the control of our nations money by the worlds wealthiest families, and live, was Andrew Jackson. The guns of his would be assassin, Richard Lawrence, missfired.

This is not our government bailing out firms in trouble.

This is the firms that own our government, and much of our future tax revenue in perpetuity, trying not to kill the goose that is laying their golden eggs.

Yes - they are above the law. They own it, paid for fair and square, with our own money. And now that they control the main stream media and liberal schools, those who would protest can be successfully marginalized as moonbats and such.

Mayer Amschel Bauer, who founded the Rothschild family had said, "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws"
His son, Amschel Mayer Rothschild said, "Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws."
Another son, Nathan Mayer Rothschild bragged, "I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply."

Who Traded 55,000 Bear $30 Puts Tuesday?



This past Tuesday, when Bear Stearns(BSC - Cramer’s Take - Stockpickr) was trading around $65 a share, there was huge put volume in the March $30 strike.



Over 55,000 contracts traded that day at an average price of 15 cents a contract. This is an extremely unusual trade in terms of the number of contracts and how far out-of-the money those options were at the time. This begs the question of why someone would execute such a transaction.



First, it’s important to understand that buying a put gives you the right to sell the stock at the strike price. So to buy a put that requires the stock to decline over 50% is essentially a bet that the company is possibly on the brink of going out of business or about to deliver some terrible news.





Remember, these options expire on March 20, so that left only 10 days for some event to occur that would cause these puts to go into the money and have some value. So it appears that as rumors began swirling early in the week that Bear was having liquidity problems and might possibly be bordering on insolvent, someone took that to heart and bought the puts as disaster insurance. And today came news that several banks, including Goldman Sachs (GS - Cramer’s Take - Stockpickr), would no longer act as a counterparty to any transactions with Bear. The inability to execute trades would essentially put Bear Stearns out of business.



Hence, we have today’s selloff in which shares of Bear are down some $25, or 44% to around $30 a share. It’s not a surprise that those $30 puts are the most active strike today. With an hour left in the trading day, over 40,000 contracts have traded. This surpasses the open interest of 36,000 contracts that were open as of this morning.

US Prepares For 'Doomsday' Rule As British Forces Arrive In America
Sorcha Faal


Russian Military Analysts are reporting in the Kremlin today that China's President Hu has refused the United States request for over $2 Trillion in emergency assistance to bolster the collapsing American Dollar, and asked for in a personal meeting with the former US President Bush, the father of the current President Bush.



Of the worst fears of the American Bush-Clinton Monarchy, which has ruled the US these past 20 years, these reports state, is the collapse of their privately owned hedge fund called the Carlyle Capital Fund and which is owned by their secretive war profiteering International behemoth Carlyle Group led by the Bush Family, Former British Prime Ministers, and others of the West's ruling elite, and as we can read as reported by Britain's Independent News Service:

"A fund managed by the US private equity giant Carlyle Group has become the latest to be hit by demands from lending banks making calls on loans secured on mortgage bonds.

Carlyle Capital Corp, a publicly traded fund that holds $21.7bn (£10.8bn) of securities, said it had received a default notice from one of its lending banks and expected at least one more after it failed to meet demands for extra security from jittery counterparties.

The Guernsey-based fund has struggled to meet more than $60m of margin calls and demands for extra collateral since the start of the month. It met the calls until Wednesday, when it was landed with more than $37m of demands and missed four out of seven calls."

To the greatest concerns, however, of Russian Military Commanders are the reports of President Bush's younger brother Neil's 'sudden' visit to the South American Nation of Paraguay as a guest of the secretive South Korean backer of the Bush-Clinton Monarchy, and self-proclaimed "messiah" Reverend Sun Myung Moon, and as we can read as reported by the Associated Press News Service:

"Neil Bush, younger brother of U.S. President George W. Bush, called on Paraguay's president as the guest of a business federation founded by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon.

A presidential press office source, who spoke on condition of not being named, confirmed the younger Bush met President Nicanor Duarte on Thursday along with a delegation from the Universal Peace Federation, a group associated with Moon."

[It is important to note that the Bush Family has reportedly already made plans to relocate from the United States to Paraguay, and as we had reported on in our October 15, 2006 report titled "US President Bush Makes Massive Land Purchase In Paraguay Ahead Of Expected War Crimes Charges", but denied by the US State Department, as that South American Nation has long been a refuge for Nazi War Criminals and their Western backers, of which the Bush Family were one of.]

The timing of this Bush Family-Moon visit to Paraguay during that Nation's horrific outbreak of yellow fever, and which has caused its President to declare a 'State of Emergency', meant, these reports say, that 'normal' abilities of [deleted] to track the whereabouts of these subjects was severely hampered due to the many restrictions placed upon the free movement of people within the country.

This has led Russian Commanders to believe that the Bush-Clinton Monarchy may be preparing for what the Americans themselves have titled a 'Doomsday' scenario under new laws passed in the US in 2005 and which has been described as:

"No longer do Capitol Hill legislators need a quorum to do the people's business. Now under a piece of hotly contested legislation passed without media attention on Jan. 5,[2005] only a few members of Congress are needed to do official business in the event of a catastrophe instead of the usual 218. Critics claim H. Res. 5 paves the way for tyranny, allowing "only a few to decide for so many."

As we had previously reported on in our February 24, 2008 report titled "Canadian Troops To Patrol US Cities As Food Riots Feared", and where Russian Military Analysts had voiced their fears of the agreement signed by the Americans and Canada to allow their troops on each others soil, these new reports detail an even darker picture that details that British, and not American, Officers are currently being trained to 'control' US citizens, and as we can read as reported by the LJWorld News Service in their report titled "Brits overrun town for training exercise", and which says:

"Thursday may have seemed like any other day for most in Leavenworth, but for about 180 British officers, an enemy was on the loose threatening civilians. Tactical forces were moved in, and soldiers took their positions outside schools and churches preparing to isolate the terrorist activity. While it may have been a fictional enemy in theory, for visiting officers with the United Kingdom's Intermediate Command and Staff Course who were roaming the streets of Leavenworth, the tactical solutions they used to end the threats were real."

In previous reports we had detailed how the US Military had begun asking their soldiers if they would fire on American citizens and which has led to their War Leaders request to have Canadian and British Military Forces take command in putting down the expected rebellions in the United States as they are more likely to have no problems killing those not of their own nationality.

Facing the American people now is the very real coming destruction of their Nation, and which their leaders have planned both for the success, and failure of, no matter the cost in human lives.

But, in viewing from outside this destruction of the United States, it remains unsettling how few of these people realize the great danger they are in. It is as if they believe that by their not knowing the truth of the monsters who are leading them they themselves will somehow be protected.

And, as their once World-valued currency plummets into worthlessness, as tens of thousands of them begin to lose their jobs, as the price they pay for fuel and food continues skyrocketing, as they continue to be forced out of their homes by the millions, as many millions more of them have watched the value of their homes crumble into dust, virtually none of them are preparing for the catastrophes to come.

One cannot help but believe that these peoples are all insane.
