I have so much questions on all your initial assertions that commercial banks could sabotage Trump via a ratchet overnight borrowing as Jay Powell the Fed Chair has been injecting too much currency into the market.

Your assumptions I believe is wrong considering that i don't see any evidence of proof where you've taken the issue. Powell is not over the president and his actions when wrong could trigger the economic failures which the president tries to avoid. In addition, your report was obtained via the Washington Post which has not objective but to provide f**e news reporting, and I don't trust that outlet.

You've dismissed the fact that the 2008 Sub Prime failures were the most devastating event in the US economy. About $2 trillion dollars were lost . The Federal Reserve and its decision making body the FOMC (Federal Open Marker Committee) were slow in providing solutions due to the complexities of the problems. But finally later on Congress designed an act to issue initial amount of $720 billion for 91.5 % for the 3 fiscal years. These were the $189 billion for 2009, $400 billion in 2010, and $135 billion on 2011.

All these under the administration of Obama, and I was not sure if they were all properly used to the intended purpose. Additional funding was added later to reach total amount to $865 billion, money I did not see how it was allocated to the projects intended purpose. For I am aware so much was diverted to areas not useful to stimulate the economy. I wrote this because you've ignored the gravity of the problems.

Another concern I have is how president Trump got involved in your assertions about the Australian economy along with that of China. Those events I believe happened prior to his administration. You did not provide source of your information. Your theories and speculations, in which I have no basis to depend on.

This second reply was written because of the other unanswered questions bothering me. Good night.

Sorry; I didn think you were serious, the $2 trillion wasn't lost because it was wasn't there to begin with, the $2 trillion wasn't anything to do with those sub prime mortgages that triggered the run on the banks the sub prime mortgages were genuine commitments by home owners who signed up without much of a deposit.

The $2 trillion was speculative asset adjustments of value which first took hold in the futures markets that all turned bearish, and then that contagion spread to all equities and property markets, and after that then resulted the original home owners who has signed up for a debt found that the value of their property was much less than the amount owed by them on the mortgage.

Some banks were given bail out money and Congress was involved but the Fed has authority to inject funds where necessary with the oversight of the Treasury Dept I think the figures you drew our attention to were to begin the nascent process of Quantative Easing, the Fed has never been audited so how much they give out and get back is always only ever conjecture.

The mortgages that ended up oversees as bundles were not bad debts until the banks started to fight each other and that was when Obama arrived a couple of year's later the repco market were one of the first signs that the Banks were digging into survival trenches, but last weeks injection were 10 times bigger sums of $ needed to prop up the inter bank over night lending market than was needed in 2008, officially the story is as you point out something to do with companies borrowing to pay taxes, well see.

The sub prime mortgages were Bushes bright idea to consolidate support for the invasion of Iraq, almost identical to Modern Monetary Theory just pust the $ out there as fast as possible.

Bank employees got a bonus for every mortgage they sold the builders got work people who otherwise couldn't afford homes were set for life, but property values plummeted when Obama came to Office.

Obama was a charismatic leader like Trump both above party politics so the deep State Henry Kissinger didn't have as much authority over the Government because of the charisma of the President.

The deep State controls the Party machine at branch level and when there is no charismatic leader, the deep State control everything that's why they call it deep.

If McCain and Palin would have won 2008 all hell would for sure have broken loose WW 3.

It's the Party machine that Powell will respond to because his home base is the branch banks same as a lack luster President is always threatened by the rank and file unless he has something over them, it all becomes very local grass roots family against family when there is no ultimate authority.

Australian Banks got involved when the Australian Wheat Board was had-up-for violating sanctions in the wheat for oil scheme which was said to be corrupt like Huawei is now, you'd probably find Trump wasn't responsible for that.

The Australian Wheat Board was smashed out of existence and became a private company owned by the growers in 1999, but now is much less effective especially in times of drought. .

The reason Australian banks were set upon by US deep State is because they didn't like us being strong and healthy so the Over Night Lending Rate was used to create liquidity problems for us by pushing up over night interst rates, that was Obama you're right to deduce that it was his Term.of Office but I'm sure he wasn't pulling the strings.

However it also happened in the Asian Financial crisis late 1990's and the one before before that was early 1990''s, I had a Government protected mortgage so was OK but 2 work mates were on the open market their interest rate went from 6% to 15% one had to sell up.

Australian Banks balance their day to day ledgers using the US banking overnight market.

You believe that president Trump is a failure because your also believe that countries do not like what president Trump has been doing. That countries are deserting him. Wrong. US is now respected because of president Trump.

After president Reagan in 1989, no one had faithfully served the American people faithfully, but they focused to their own political ambitions. The abuses of China over the United States had been ignored and neglected. They focus on their self-interest keeping their power.

That neglect allowed China taking advantage over the US trade imbalance, and at the same time stealing the US Intellectual Properties. Perhaps those presidents did not want conflicts, or perhaps because of ignorance how economy works, they didn't realize that China had been materially taking advantage of the US. As a result, that enabled China to rapidly advance on its economy over the US and above every country in the world. China had enriched against the US in trillions of dollars during those years before president Trump.

When president Trump came in, he noticed the problems. If US continue allowing China taking advantage over its trade business, and allowing to continue stealing US intellectual properties, the end results could be US economic failures that could never be restored.

But he dared put up a solution to correct the trade imbalance, and the intellectual property thievery. The only way to correct that was the tariffs imposition on China's exports to the US. Effects: US consumers could be paying a little more, but the tariffs go to the US Treasury anyways.

The China problems have gone so huge, and precisely correcting the problems require time, risks, and a lot of patience and works to be done.

President Trump has created the lowest unemployment since 59 years ago. B****s, Hispanics, and women have the lowest unemployment since history. Wages have gone up at least 3.5% to 5%. President Trump has corrected the i*****l i*********n that has been abused to much our sovereign rights. That is why you conclude that countries don't like president Trump. I don't care, but those countries illegally violating our own. What I care is the welfare of the American people and our safety. That is what the president is doing. No more Muslims please!!

The whole world economy is slowing down including China. It is possible that US could be affected. But at present US is more stable than other countries.
You are blaming that the US banks are slowing and the Federal system has been pumping amount of cash to restore its liquidity. We know that banks have cash reserves at the Federal system to protect the peoples' money in case of insolvency.

The Federal system pumps its liquid assets to banks, but that has been a normal process when the banks get more repos. It is a solution to restore its operating capacity. Except the effects could trigger higher interest rates. Banks have to do that to restrain inflation.

I believe you h**e president Trump and all your negative critics are focused on him, but ignored the travesties and failures of Obama. Having that kind of biased support for Obama, won't persuade me. For I know that Mr. Obama had lots of more failures and destruction made during his tenure which left marks of his footprints all over his failed policies.

. China is a very clever country. It has been expanding all over the world for dominance, and even the islands in the Pacific that don't belong to China have been taken and made strategic defense against any country that could interfere its global ambitions.

President Trump is working for the American people. Unfortunately, you dislike him, discredit him for all the achievements he does for the American people. He has no self-interest but his attention is to serve the American people. Unlike the prior presidents whose ambitions were all focused to elevate their position of power and greed.

Notice that the democrats in Congress since January have focused on the impeachment of president Trump. Taxpayers pay them so much salaries and benefits, but all they do is political ambitions for their own. That itself is a constitutional violation.

President Reagan was an exception. He was one of the greatest presidents.

I never said Trump was a failure, I said he's able to be played by both sides, so Trump can't be a failure, that's impossible one side definitely will but T***p w*n't be on it, Trump will be looking good when the end is nigh.

Nigh means incredibly difficult to accomplish.

Political ambitions was all what Trump's speech at the General Assembly yesterday was about, so Trump is unconstitutional according to you, if I was proud republican I'd put you on an ignore list, but I'm not so I will address your concerns about inflation which hasn't happened this century because Reagan tilted the field so all benefits trickle to the lowest order, bankers real-estate dealers, or Capital Gains going down on interest rates. Only hope no ladies read that one, I haven't been the same since I watched Trump's speech.

Do you think pundits are going over the top when they say it was the best ode to the Universal Soldier never written just popped up out of thin hair.

Your easily taken in, I guess your too young to remember Donovan, his rendition of Universal Soldier was great, I didn't realise just how old I was since I watched Trump's speech, I've been lying down ever since I don't even really feel like breathing, maybe I'm dying, that surely was a powerful speech, if I die on proud republicans thread do you think she will honour me, maybe Donovan can come sing at my funeral, I went to see him when he came to Sydney 1970 I remember asking, when is the show going to start, never got a reply and never found out but I sat through it all , Trump was at the wrong venue same as me.

That could be delusional, Hillary thought the same thing, depends on who the Dems come up with, I think, Democrats think that the people want another alternative, if the people didn't want another radical alternative like Reagan, Obama and Trump, then Mike Pence would be promoted by the Republicans as the stable face of the Party, but stability is not what people want, they want an alternative to the status quo not more of the same.

US has to change direction, most people think that, Trump is not tied to anyone and can get away with rolling around the deck making changes without any ropes holding him down, people like that, but the Dems can offer more stable radical alternatives.

Ron Paul Liberty Report has been tracking this public attitude since 2016 and has noticeably moved further away from their previous policy promotions due to this public opinion, check out his latest show "Impeachment Hysteria! But Who's Guilty, Trump or Biden" in 3 hours 770 views.

I don't appreciate your focus on attacks against president Trump's economy, but ignored the destruction that Obama left.

The 2008 stimulus of more than $2.3 trillion, did not help but made it worst after Obama left, the fact that his share of the stimulus of $865 billion did nothing to correct the problems but made it worst.

If not for president Trump who rescued the US from the abuses of China, that run the uncontrolled rapid rise of its GDP due to its dishonest trade imbalance and Intellectual Property thievery that no prior presidents except Trump dared to fix it or control abuses against the US. Now the president is fixing it, but since the problems have grown so huge, there are also many risks on the way.

You focus on the rising cost of the repo market, but that banking activities happen every day. Banks have deposit requirement reserves at the Federal System.

It could not be denied that the world economy slowing down. Japan, Germany, Brazil, and the UK are showing signs of trouble. Could the US be affected? Perhaps. China and the US economies are the most dominant factor due to the neglected problems that allowed China to practice against the US, for so many years. This is not easy to fix. Do you have any solution, but criticize the improvements that the current president has been doing.

Perhaps you are a member of the George Soros team. You and the US Labor Union greed in a quid pro-quo with the Socialist-Democrats are in cahoots to destroying president Trump in order to achieve their goals for US Socialist government.

I don't agree with Soros, true the Labour Unions are now Gov or protected industries employees and have lost the plot, but that opposition you think is united is part of Trump's wavering supporters who actually in 2016 they were strong Trump MAGA, but now see Trump as a failure, and want to bail before it's too late.

The Commercial Banks in order to sabotarged Trump all they have to do is ratchet up overnight borrowing no matter what, Trump supporters are very well aware of the situation which is why Fed Chair Jay Powell is injecting all this new issue currency, once $ are issued they can't be unissued except by inflation, this is type of injection at these levels is unheard of, never before has it happened, and it's much greater than QE ever was.

Again I repeat, this is unprecedented, in 2008 there was only minor Fed incursions into the overnight market, although when Australia was doing fine a bit after 2009 because of "trade with China", made possible because China retained the only credible currency because it wasn't floating, the US Commercial Banks pushed overnight borrowing for Australian Banks way up to cause a problum for Australian dealings with China, who were being approached by IMF officials to make massive investments in the Fund which China did and was accepted into the IMF's Special Drawing Rights currency Basket of 5 influential fiat currencies in March 2015, the IMF even suggesting in 2012 partnership with the US operations in the IMF and World Bank.

This was badly upsetting the Bankers, so they attacked Australia because they weren't game to attack China then, now behind Trump the do attack China but many are thinking about giving up, that's how come I know about this Bankers tactict.

However Trump's strategy, reluctantly implemented by Powell, is not fool proof, sure the Banks won't be able to ratchet up overnight lending but they will be able to pay into the Repo Money Pool using worthless collateral and recover it years laterwhile extracting $ and filtering them through real "inter bank giving", the Regulators will say nothing because that would undermine credibility probably worse the soaring borrowing costs.

If Trump wins the the Trade War and Sanction strategy, two things will change Trump will be the first ever World Leader and the $ will be " pegged against" by 194 other Nations.

This is the reason Trump"s camp is suffering desetions at the highest level, all he has to do is flip flop, but then he might lose even more credibility, there is no answer that can come from mere mortals.

Fortunately I am connected to Extraterrestrials but am forbidden to divulge information except under rewarding circumstances.

Kim Iversen says the Fed dumped another $75 into Repo market on Friday that's makes 4 times last week making $203 +$ 75 = $ 278 billion and the Fed announced it's dumping $75 billion "a day" into the Repo market for the next 2 weeks.

At the height of QE. 3 which began at $80 billion a month on September 2012 and ended January 2013 when it was tapered down by $10 billion a month and the Fed stopped purchasing assets on October 2014.

This is very suspicious with enormous sums of $, I think it's connected to the reserve requirements as a fraction of new loans Banks have to invest in the Central Bank as a security, so seemingly the Banks don't trust each other and Commercial Banks are still willing to loan mainly to investment banks and credit unions but only at high interest rates because of risk.

Supposedly the Fed alleviating jitters by injecting this enormous amount, which could be, over $1trillion over the next 2 weeks, if none gets paid back, but of course some will be, all the same over $1 trillion is guaranteed, as if that won't be pilfered..

So the Commercial Banks suspect collateral to be over valued, but Commercial banks are using that same collateral to keep up to scratch with their reserve requirements.

Are the banks threatoning to take Trump out with a financial crash.?

I believe you must differentiate the various groups within the Democratic Party Coalition. All political parties are coalitions of interest groups. The leaders and intellectuals in the party are motivated by the desire to get power back, which is always the most important part.

You could talk about the more recent wars like that and it bounces off people unless it conflates with their considered vested interests, which is why I mentioned cotton, the South in the Soviet Union were the Bolshevicks I didn't figure anyone would cotton on, and the North was the White's.

The Southern Peasants won because the North wanted s***ery revisited.

Marx wasn't a Jew but every other Bolshevik was except for Stalin hence his ascent, but the Jews in Poland were know as the "Bund" and they turned on the Bolshevicks so in many ways like the American Civil War it was sort of an "inter in-law war", seriously internecine war or Civil War, actually what tipped the difference was vested interests the luddites lost then won in 1997 lost in 2012 and the, maybe, final outcome is now in the balance.

History has forced Putin's conversation he's no longer a Luddite, but he could convert again who knows with him and Trump anything goes.

The Jews in the South weren't peasants but they knew how to excite emotions by murdering Tsar Alexander 111.

The Jews in the North became Z*****ts and the Southern Jews "assimilated no more" the F*****ts didn't k**l them the Z*****ts did so the Russian Civil war is on going only the Muslims are standing in for the Jewish Assimilationists, aka Bolsheviks.

I support Christopher Read's assessment of the Russian Revolution "The Making and Breaking of The Soviet Union " but OPP is not about history it's about proselytizing, everybody knows that, this is my personal Theologica view which raises all kinds of interesting question.

Why did the Soviet Union prevail, why did the West ensure C*******m's development as a Welfare state. ?

What caused C*****e C****e ? and would C*******m have done the same since suburbanization and consumerism was not allowed.?

That's on the secular side, Theologically thinking why does Christianity support Talmudic Judaism ?.

Medical science in the 19th century was not all that advanced. I am going from memory, but as I remember the book, after Moby Dick bit off Ahab's leg, he spent months suffering in the bowels of a rolling stinking wooden sailing ship, fighting for his life. That pain and suffering left insanity, and an overwhelming need to avenge himself at any cost on the White Whale. It later cost the lives of every man on his ship, save one, and it cost the ship.

When Hillary lost the 2016 e******n, Liberals spent months in deep suffering. Add in the 2 year Mueller investigation farce and I would imagine the pain and suffering left plenty of insanity. Like Captain Ahab, they will pay any price to destroy the object of their h**e.

A lot of assumptions taken for granted in that analogy, I was familiar with the story of Moby Dick when I read your topic and I sort of knew that the politics behind Hanson's Moby Dick analogy would be a black and white presentation.

I didn't figure it worth reading, and just wanted to watch who jumped on and why, but since I got a reply I read it in the "National Review" and it is what I expected.

Technically the motivation of the Democrats can't be simply a vendetta because of the bipartisan nature of Trumps policies and also Democrats have won 7 times since FDR and Republicans have also won 7, so it's Democrats turn 2020, although extra weeping is showing itself as unbalanced perhaps a smidgen under psycho perhaps not.

Trump went one better and offered an alternative based on other than race or sex which the Democrats willingly brokered in Hillary and Obama.

But t don't think that made much difference, the Democrats are split between old establishment and Anarchist type Libertarians causing paranoia.

Foreign Policy has alarmed the Democrat camp, the Democrats caused the Vietnam War and the Republicans caused Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, so that's about even too but I think Democrat compulsive behaviours are genuine concerns, their wounded but the War causing the wounds hasn't yet started.

I think Trump is using ideas that Democrats care about in a way that brashness hurts and decisiveness doesn't.

Democrats just sense failure and have panic attacks based on a lack of trust in Trump, or did I just make that one up ?.

Only us historical purists are worried about the The Great White Whale becoming a Red Herring in real time after leaving "once upon a time " Democrats are philistine.

Dems are more wrong headedness rather than vengence, although Trump could be a hero at home get made up into a few statutes all because of unintended consequences.

Trump Has Become the Democrats’ Great White Whale

By Victor David Hanson


One way of envisioning the Democratic obsessions with Donald Trump is as an addiction.
We have seen the initial impeachment efforts; the attempt to get him under the emoluments clause, the Logan Act and the 25th Amendment; the Russian collusion h**x; the Mueller investigation; the demand for his tax returns; and the psychodramas involving Michael Avenatti, Michael Cohen, and Stormy Daniels.
Relentless progressives have needed a new Get Trump fix about every two months.
More practically, their fixation also substitutes for a collective poverty of ideas. The Democratic Party has no plan to secure the borders other than to be against wh**ever Trump is for.
The liberal Left continue to push their radical agenda against American values. The good news is there is a solution.
It would not build a wall, deport illegal entrants, end sanctuary cities, fine employers, or do much of anything but allow almost anyone to enter the U.S.
The homeless crisis is reaching epidemic proportions in our cities, almost all of them run by progressive mayors and city councils. None have any workable plan to clean the sidewalks of needles and human excrement.
None know what to do with the hundreds of thousands who have camped out in public spaces, endangering their own health and everyone around them due to drug addiction and inadequate sanitation and waste removal.
On a******n, the new Democratic position seems to be that the unborn can be aborted at any time the mother chooses, up to and including the moment of birth.
The Green New Deal has been endorsed by most of the current Democratic primary candidates, even though they privately know its utopian fantasies would shut down the U.S. economy and destroy the present prosperity fueled by record energy production, deregulation, and tax reform and reduction.
Abroad, were Democrats for or against abrogating the Iran nuclear deal, moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, and prodding China to follow reciprocal trade rules?
How do they propose to deal with North Korean nuclear-tipped missiles that seemed to suddenly appear as Barack Obama left office?
Have Democrats proposed canceling the new pipeline construction that Trump has fast-tracked? Would they scale way back on the natural gas and oil production that has made America energy-independent and on the cusp of becoming the world’s greatest energy exporter?
Democrats have occasionally talked of implementing r********ns for s***ery, a wealth tax and free college tuition, and of eliminating college debt, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the E*******l College.
Yet they have never spelled out exactly how they would enact such radical proposals that likely do not appeal to a majority of the population.
Would they reverse Trump tax cuts, stop hectoring NATO members to pay their promised defense contributions, restore NAFTA, or revive the T***s-Pacific Partnership trade agreement?
For now, no one has much of an idea what Democratic candidates would actually do, much less how they would do it.
Instead, the fallback position is always that “Trump stole the 2016 e******n,” “the Mueller report did not really exonerate Trump of collusion and obstruction,” and “Trump must be impeached or somehow stopped from finishing his first term.”
When the Mueller report found no collusion and no indictable grounds for obstruction of the non-crime of collusion, for a moment progressives suffered an identity crisis.
The temporary paralysis was prompted by the terror that without a crusade to remove Trump, they might have to offer an alternative vision and agenda that would better appeal to 2020 v**ers.
The Democratic establishment has become something like novelist Herman Melville’s phobic Captain Ahab, who became fatally absorbed with chasing his nemesis, the albino whale Moby Dick.
The great white whale once ate part of Ahab’s leg, and he demands revenge—even if such a never-ending neurosis leads to the destruction of his ship and crew.
Democrats can never forgive Trump for unexpectedly defeating supposed sure winner Hillary Clinton in 2016 and then systematically—and loudly—undoing the eight-year agenda of Obama.
So far, Trump seems to have escaped all of their efforts to spear and remove him before the 2020 e******n. Trump, like Moby Dick, seems a weird force of nature whose wounds from constant attacks only seem to make him more indestructible and his attackers even more obsessed with their prey.
Even if the quest to destroy Trump eclipses every other consideration and entails the destruction of the modern Democratic Party, it seems not to matter to these modern Ahabs.
Getting Trump is all they live for—and all they have left.
(C) 2019 TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

America’s trust in the mainstream media is at a historic low—and rightfully so, given the behavior of many journalists in Washington, D.C. and across the country.
Ever since Donald Trump was elected president, it’s been painfully clear that the mainstream media covers liberals glowingly and conservatives critically.
Why? Because they are determined more than ever to give the government more control over your lives. Restoring your liberty and embracing freedom is the best thing for you and the country.

Are you saying Moby Dick wasn't a nutter or Trump is a nutter ? I'm confused.

Certainly the Topic for discussion indicates that the Great White Whale is actually the Great Red Herring of C*******m which is now a spent force dead love letter, interestingly enough though, a real red herring is a dead fish turned red by the smoke used to dry it.

Ones real ones not.

Trump is going after the Reds making the same mistake as the W****s, this is true story, the W****s lost the Civil War because they wanted to give the land back to the Feudal Lords, the land reform of 1861 made Surfdom illegal there was enormous push back the W****s supported that push back which turned out to be Religious smoke and mirrors, which is why the Peasants supported the Bolsheviks and Religion became the opium of the people.

I'm not sure if this is what your Great White Whale analogue was referring too because there was no leader of the White armies and the only thing they could agree on was that the Lords should rest and the Peasants work.

Trump is the leader and is not saying Lords rest while Peasants work, but Bernie Sanders is not saying it better.

Furthermore I think the Democrats are coming on board with Bernie because they seem to be shafting Biden with the Ukraune story, good job, Biden and H****r are totally corrupt.

[quote=Ricktloml][quote=RT friend]This is more of a world wide trend than the seeds of revolution, Popularism is a superficial political trend that comes about from affluence and scarcity rubbing up against the elephant in the room.

The elephant is a phantom that has many identities some say it's Trump others say it was Clinton's now being replaced with one of the others except for Bernie Sanders who is not elephant like.

The US is turning in on itself same as Britain and Italy with Popularist Leaders who can only cause division because the historical circumstances are not present for them to lead the Country to a revolution.

Without starvation desperation doesn't develop into revolution and nobody is starving in Britain or Italy.

Popularism is cultural collapse, and has been overcome recently in Pakistan, Imran Kahn and Bernie Sanders have got a lot of similarities, the US could do itself a favour by supporting Bernie Sanders.

Good grief. Socialism/c*******m,/collectivism has failed EVERY timed it's been tried. By all means, if you want a Venezuelan style nightmare in the U.S., ANY Democrat/socialist candidate will gladly give it to you.[/quote]

Who said C*******m failed, the South reall won but was tricked in thinking otherwise when a dark cloud came upon everyone and cotton was spin not spun.


I think something when wrong I'll try again. The South reall won but we were tricked into submission when a rumour was put about that cotton was spin not spun.

There is no defence against drones or cruise missiles and never will be because radar only points up, US can obliterate Iran but not before Iran obliterates Gulf States, my guess is after that Avigdor Liberman and his Russian Settlers would have to move back to Russia, since the Queen Kings of Saudi Arabia will be out of a job and moved to Tal Aviv- Yafo to groove in the night life.

However Putin wouldn't like Power sharing with Liberman so he likely will offer Netanyahu Russian Citizenship, all's well that ends well.
