The day Americans went broke

noreply@blogger.com (Charleston Voice) — Tue, 21 May 2013 17:28:00 +0000

As it happened 75 years ago

The Bank Holiday of 1933

Over 9,000 banks failed in the US during the 1930s.

By 1933, over $140 billion in depositors' money went up in smoke. This was in an era when you could buy a luxury car for less than $1,000 and a mansion for $20,000.

When Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) first took office in 1993, his first act as President was to declare a "Bank Holiday," the closing of all banks throughout the nation.

Three interesting things about this talk:

1. It's coherent and detailed.

2. The government at the time seemed to have the capacity to rapidly evaluate the soundness of banks throughout the nation

3. The currency sent to replenish bank supply was, according to FDR, backed by sound assets.

Folks, by this this standard, we're in worse shape than in the 1930s.

Today we have idiots in the White House who can't string two sentences together that make sense; the government not only can't seem to examine banks, it doesn't seem to feel a responsibility to; and in today's case - Version 2008 - we're creating new money based on assets we already know are garbage.

Other than that, everything is just fine and dandy.

One of our problems is that the only people who actually lived through the reality of this time and were adults when it happened are 90 years and older...which is probably why we are repeating it again.

Listen to our related audio of FDR's bank holiday

The world is on now on the brink of a global credit crisis that could be far worse than the tumultuous events of 2008. The ongoing sovereign debt crisis in the southern reaches of the Eurozone indicate that bank runs in the region will continue, and that more bank closure "holidays" will be declared. Under a bank holiday, virtually all deposits could be frozen and irredeemable for days, weeks, or even months. The key question is: Will this crisis spread to the rest of Europe and then even to the United States? I urge SurvivalBlog readers--particularly those in Europe--to be proactive, to stay "ahead of the power curve." While the Generally Dumb Public (GDP) wakes up some morning to hear news of a bank holiday, you will have long hence prepared yourself.

Hong Kong Mercantile Exchange (Gold Silver) is surrendering all metal trades and will settle in cash. Defaulted! No Gold or Silver to be given!

noreply@blogger.com (Charleston Voice) — Tue, 21 May 2013 02:28:00 +0000

As we read into this, we can conclude nothing but this event is a de facto default on physical metals delivery in Hong Kong. Settlements at closing will be in "cash" only. Surely, this can be the template to be used to save the US banks in NY from their COMEX & LBMA paper metals contract fraud. Contracts promising other arrangements will be illegal. Nearly two years ago we posted a chronology of the developing Rothschild banking syndicate in China. The bank most likely the big player in this Hong Kong debacle is most likely RIT Capital or some Rothschild consortium.

Hong Kong Mercantile Exchange (Commodities: Gold Silver) is surrendering all metal trades and will settle in cash. Defaulted! No Gold or Silver to be given!

This is Super Huge news in my opinion!

The Hong Kong Mercantile Exchange, which is the gold and silver commodities trading house in Hong Kong is immediately stopping/discontinuing and will be settling all gold and silver trades in cash that are in house at this time. Besides that, they will determine what amount/price they will settle the trades/contracts at.

This is the exchange that began trading gold and silver in 2011 for the Pacific areas. This is the one we had all hoped would break the gold and silver manipulation. It seems the manipulation and physical amounts, broke them and they are not able to provide the physical.

On May 18, 2011, HKMEx formally began trading with a US Dollar gold futures contract. ^[9]In an interview with Reuters, Helmig said it plans to launch gold and silver futures contracts denominated in renminbi. He also said HKMEx will follow precious metals products with contracts in base metals, and then energy and agriculture.^[10] On July 22, 2011, the exchange launched a second product, a US Dollar silver futures contract.^[11]As of 5pm on February 13, 2012 trading on HKMEx’s gold and silver futures reached 1,003,210 contracts, representing total turnover of over US$50 billion (around HK$390 billion).^[12] Trading on the exchange's US-dollar gold futures for the first time surpassed the 10,000 contract mark on June 4, 2012.

You have to wonder if people in Asia were demanding the physical metals, compared to the paper as the Comex people are happy with. It seems to me they ran out of physical and can no longer operate with physical gold and silver as a commodity.

They are using the excuse of commodity trading not providing enough money for them. But lets face it. The fact that gold and silver have been hit super hard the last couple of months and the fact that the Asian's have been buying all the physical they can get their hands on..... doesn't leave much to the imagination of what the truth is.

It seems we now have an official Default of an exchange for gold and silver! When will the Comex put something out like this?

It will reapply later to trade gold and silver again with the Renminbi, but is ceasing all trading immediately.

There is no physical metals to be had from the exchange for anyone who put trades on it.

Media Release from Exchange:

HKMEx Voluntarily Surrenders Authorisation To Provide Automated Trading Services

HONG KONG, 18 May, 2013 – The Hong Kong Mercantile Exchange (HKMEx) announces today it has decided to voluntarily surrender the authorisation to provide automated trading services (“ATS”) granted by the Securities and Futures Commission (“the SFC”).

With immediate effect, no new orders may be placed and all open positions will be financially settled at the settlement price determined by HKMEx and its designated clearinghouse.

The voluntary surrender decision was made to enable the Exchange to re-align its strategy with the new industry environment since its trading revenues have not been sufficient to support operating expenses and, as a result, its inability to meet the required regulatory financial conditions.
While trading on the Exchange will discontinue, HKMEx as an organisation will continue to operate with its existing staff, and will focus on developing new products including renminbi-denominated precious and base metals contracts that will better meet customer needs. It also intends to re-apply at an appropriate time for an ATS authorization to launch these products with stronger and more effective market maker programs.

“The favourable conditions under which HKMEx was founded have not changed. Global commodity demand continues to shift towards Asia as the region undergoes sustained growth, presenting great opportunities that we will continue to exploit,” said Barry Cheung, Chairman of HKMEx. “Our priorities now are to protect members’ interests by ensuring effective closing of open positions while strengthening our shareholding base and developing new products that play to our distinctive strengths.”

In closing out the open positions, the Exchange has developed a plan in consultation with the SFC to ensure the process is orderly and that investors are well informed of the matter. The Exchange will disseminate settlement prices to its members the morning of next Monday, 20 May 2013. Investors may contact the Exchange’s hotline at +852 3900 9898 for any assistance or enquiry.

“One of the strangest things about the career of Jim Crow was that the system was born in the North and reached an advanced age before moving South in force.” ~~ C. Vann Woodward, The Strange Career of Jim Crow

The "Jim Crow" system is erroneously blamed on the Southern States, as well as erroneously claimed to have begun in 1898. This excerpt is from "The Real Lincoln, A New Look at Abraham Lincoln, Thomas J. DiLorenzo, Forum Books, 2002, pp. 25-28:

This is culled and abbreviated from a 12/14/2011 post of ours. We feel it is appropriate to review in light of the goings-on and increasing intensity to audit the Fed and gold reserves of our own, and those in Fed custody for other nations.

This is a very interesting video series by Eric deCarbonnel of Market Skeptics about the Exchange Stabilization Fund. It is a look into the secret slush fund that operates trillions of dollars of with no oversight. It is the nexus of money and the dark world of market intervention, covert operation, drug and other illicit activities the Elite run. The real purpose of this video series is very unsettling and turns out to be a very crafty piece of propaganda.

Earlier this year, the financial world was shocked when Germany asked for the return of its gold. The request came within 3 months of the Feds refusal to submit to an audit of its gold reserves by Germany’s Bundesbank. The request itself was unusual in that Germany only asked for 50% of its gold to be returned by year 2020.

We are not entirely in agreement with Prouty's views, notably his comfort levels with the Dulles brothers whom Prouty makes out to be "anti-communists", but are now recognized as key elements of the CFR and the subversion of our independence and merger with a world government.

PART II

An insider explains how we got to where we are today
Leroy Fletcher Prouty (January 24, 1917 – June 5, 2001) served as Chief of Special Operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff under President John F. Kennedy. A former colonel in the United States Air Force, he retired from military service to become a banker, and subsequently became a critic of U.S. foreign policy, particularly the covert activities of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) about which he had considerable insider knowledge. Prouty, along with Richard Case Nagell, was the inspiration for the character "Mr. X" in Oliver Stone's movie JFK.

Sherman’s March of Cruelty & Terror

by Al Benson Jr.

The internationalist and dictatorial mindset of the Sherman brothers was clearly evident in the statement made by John Sherman, brother of William Tecumseh, when he said “Nationalize as much as possible (and thereby) make men love their country before their states.” This quote was in the book Donnie Kennedy and I wrote Lincoln’s Marxists, on page 127. You have only to compare this quote with the rantings of former presidential candidate John McCain when he ranted about “country first.” It sounds so patriotic until you stop and think about it. Seems that if I recall correctly, that was the same tack that Hitler took.

Whistle-Blowers Become Investment Option for Hedge Funds

By DAVID KOCIENIEWSKI

Published: May 19, 2010

Hedge funds have found a new market to invest in: whistle-blowers.

Informants who turn in tax cheats have to wait years to get their share of any reward from the I.R.S.’s recently expanded whistle-blower program. So hedge funds, private equity groups and other big investors are offering an alternative. They are essentially agreeing to buy a percentage of those future payouts in exchange for a smaller amount upfront to the whistle-blowers.
