A Mess the 45th President Will Inherit

Taxpayers Now Stand Behind Derivatives Clearinghouses

 From the Wall Street Journal
Thursday, May 24, 2012

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405270230484090457742239316410627...

President Obama's standard gripe is that the economy has performed so 
poorly during his term because of the financial crisis he inherited from 
George W. Bush. But this week it is Mr. Obama who has bequeathed to his 
successors a landmark in financial regulation. It is bound to haunt 
them, though not as much as it will haunt taxpayers.

J.P. Morgan's recent trading loss and the resulting Washington blather 
about tighter regulation have grabbed headlines.

Little noticed is that on Tuesday Team Obama took its first formal steps 
toward putting taxpayers behind Wall Street derivatives trading -- not 
behind banks that might make mistakes in d

Greyerz - Customer Shocked "Allocated" Gold Not in Swiss Bank

Today Egon von Greyerz told King World News that a client went to move a 
significant amount of "allocated" gold from a Swiss bank, but the bank 
shocked the customer because they did not have the gold. Egon von 
Greyerz is founder and managing partner at Matterhorn Asset Management 
out of Switzerland. Von Greyerz also said, "the risk of having gold in 
the banking system is major." But first, here is what Greyerz had to say 
about the bank runs in Europe: "This is just amazing, Eric, you couldn’t 
write a better story than this. We have bank runs in Greece and Spain, 
and now a French bank, one of the biggest mortgage banks, is also having 
problems. Ireland, they thought they were alright, but they need more 
money."

[gsc] TSA Agents Conduct ‘Full Monty’ Pat-Down On Henry Kissinger

Kevin Wilkerson — 2012-05-16T19:45:48

As a convicted war criminal, Kissinger could arguably be considered a
potentially dangerous individual meriting a security pat-down.  But
alas, it appears the TSA drones were merely victimizing some old man in
a wheelchair without any clue who he was:

Preventing the "Ultimate"Bank Run.

To all; I titled this piece "preventing the ultimate bank run" because 
it is exactly what is being done every single day. Taking a step back, 
2007 to present has been all about preventing actual AND virtual bank 
runs. "Actual" being lines of human beings and "virtual" being 
electronic withdrawals. All actions taken in 2007 and since then, 
whatever they were named, were all about sustaining "confidence" in the 
banking system. If you remember, many sovereign governments stepped up 
to the plate in 2008 and '09 and actually "guaranteed" 100% of deposits. 
A "run" had to be avoided at ALL costs.

Oddly enough though, the implementation of ZIRP (zero interest rate 
policy) was short sighted and worked against "preventing a run". 
Depositors have had less and less incentive to leave balances in

Gold Cover Clause Guidance

...
The upcoming Eastern SWIFT bank transaction system is almost ready for 
prime time, its development in progress. The Chinese will take the lead 
position, taking the flack, pushing the process, which will not resemble 
the current SWIFT system in the flow vehicle. The transition of 
political power in Beijing makes the timing perfect. The Iran sanctions 
served to galvanize the anti-USDollar movement. One source involved in 
the barter system design, at the fringe of the new SWIFT system, 
reported that the Iran sanctions did them a great favor, by bringing 
several newer nations to the planning room for integration in the new 
global trade transaction system. DO NOT BE SURPRISED TO HEAR IT HAS A 
GOLD FEATURE TO HANDLE THE TRADE. Rumors to the effect that the Chinese 
want to implement a gold backed trade settlement system outside the 
USDollar, have been confirmed by my great reliab
