A New World Order is Emerging as the Davos Banking System Collapses
With the collapse yesterday of the world's first SIFI (systemically important financial institution - "too big to fail") bank, Credit Suisse, the reality that the financial system of western culture is now on the brink of collapse is starting to sink in with Americans. While still not headline news in the American corporate media, financial headlines were notably pessimistic today, even with the stock market posting gains. The more dire outlooks are still being published as "opinion pieces," but it appears that more and more Americans are starting to face the reality that life as we have known it, is about to radically change. Here is an article that was featured on the Home Page of Market Watch for most of the day today, while the markets were open. And while it is listed as an "opinion" piece, it sure reads like a news article to me. "Opinion: The end of the ‘everything bubble’ has finally hit the banking system. Credit Suisse and SVB might be just the first of many shocks." The independent financial alternative media, without needing investors and editors' approval to print anything, was much more apocalyptic. Here are a few headlines from ZeroHedge News today: "The Banking System is On The Brink of Collapse," "This Financial Crisis Will Be Like None Other In History," "Nowhere To Hide In CMBS: CRE Nuke Goes Off With Small Banks Accounting For 70% Of Commercial Real Estate Loans." A New World Order is emerging, and it is NOT led by the Davos Crowd and the World Economic Forum.
Swiss Bank Fails! Bail-ins Implemented as Seniors’ Pensions Raided – Chaos in Europe as France Burns
Credit Suisse, which was the second largest bank in Switzerland, and considered a "too big to fail" bank, has failed. Swiss authorities rushed through a deal late Sunday in an attempt to prevent a whole-scale stock market crash before trading started in Asia, along with futures trading in the U.S. The deal involved a forced fire sale to its rival bank, the largest bank in Switzerland, Swiss National Bank (SNB), which included both bailout money from Switzerland's Central Bank for SNB, along with a bail-in of AT1 bonds with Credit Suisse used to fund seniors' pensions, which will be completely wiped out. The bail-in wipeout of senior pensions is sure to fuel protests already happening around Europe over pension reforms, especially in France where protests began Thursday night last week when President Emmanuel Macron invoked what is basically an "executive order" before the French Parliament was about to vote on, and DISAPPROVE, pension reforms. The French have been rioting in the streets since then, continuing through Sunday night, as at the time I am writing this there are still livestream reports being broadcast showing much of France burning. Could we see similar types of bail-ins and pension funds disappear in the U.S.? Here is what the CEO of the largest investment firm in the U.S. said a few days ago...
Bailout Failure! Bank Runs Drain $550 Billion In Deposits In One Week – Are we Looking at an Infrastructure Collapse that will be Blamed on “Cyber Attacks”?
After a brief reprieve of declining bank evaluations yesterday (Thursday March 16, 2023) due to some of America’s largest banks stepping forward to provide an infusion of $30 billion for San Francisco's troubled First Republic Bank, considered the next FDIC bank about to collapse, the financial system took another hit today in the Stock Market as it lost confidence in the ability of the larger banks to step forward and bail out smaller banks. If anything, it appears more likely that the criminal banking cartel is about to consolidate their power by driving the smaller banks out of business. And in the midst of bank runs and declining bank valuations this week, the Corporate Media published reports about possible cyber attacks being launched by Russia, according to a "research report" published by Microsoft. Big Tech, which we previously reported is now controlling the country's infrastructure in Ukraine, is also mostly running the operations for the U.S. military today. So when you discuss private companies who receive $billions from the U.S. Government in defense contracts today, you need to add Microsoft, Amazon.com, Google, and Elon Musk's Starlink, and other tech companies to the list of traditional private defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop, etc. If the U.S. Government cannot stop the bank runs and the collapse of the banking system, will they just turn to Big Tech to shut down the entire system, either by taking down the Internet or the electrical power grids, or both, and then blame it on Russia and use it as an excuse to start the World Economic Forum's "Great Reset" agenda?
U.S. GOP Senator Calls for Shooting Down Russian Planes as War with Russia Escalates
As the world stands on the brink of a total financial meltdown, the U.S. corporate media was controlling the narrative in a different direction today focusing on the downing of a U.S. drone over the Black Sea that they claim was shot down by Russians. U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham appeared on Fox News to state that the U.S. should now start shooting down Russian planes, because "that's what Ronald Reagan would do," and of course, this is all "Biden's fault."
Banking Crisis Worsens: Swiss Bank is First “Too Big to Fail” Bank to be Bailed Out as Saudis Withdraw Support
Switzerland's second largest bank, Credit Suisse, which has been experiencing bank runs and plummeting stock valuations since the end of 2022, became the first SIFI (systemically important financial institution), or "too big to fail" bank, to crash today forcing regulators to step in and ensure a bailout. The Saudis almost single-handedly crashed the U.S. Stock Market (and stock markets around the world) this morning when they announced that they were not going to put any more money into the failed Swiss bank. While the U.S. Stock Market did end lower today, it most assuredly would have been a blood bath if Swiss Regulators had not stepped in to ensure the world that it was going to bail out their troubled bank. This was after European markets had closed, however, and European banks' stock values lost 7% at end of trading in Europe today. Since a simple statement made by Saudi National Bank Chairman Ammar Al Khudairy almost crashed the entire world's financial system today, what does that tell you about the frailty of the current banking system?
Moody’s Downgrades Banking System from “Stable” to “Negative” – Crypto Takedown in Place with “Operation Choke Point”?
In spite of the fact that President Biden and U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen have told Americans that the U.S. Banking System is "safe and sound," Moody's Investors Service today announced that they had downgraded the U.S. banking system to "negative" from "stable" to reflect “the rapid deterioration in the operating environment.” They also announced today that they were studying First Republic’s debt rating for a potential downgrade, along with five other regional banks. Sifting through the plethora of news today regarding the banking industry's woes, there are some who are now questioning why the Feds closed down Signature Bank on Sunday, when other banks appeared to be worse off. This has led to speculation that cryptocurrency banks are being targeted, and the revival of the "Operation Choke Point" conspiracy theory.
Bank Runs Continue as Multiple Banks on Verge of Collapse
While the Fed's move yesterday (Sunday, March 12th) to bailout depositors from the Big Tech banks that crashed in recent days may have prevented a stock market crash today, it did not stop the bank runs, and more than 30 banks halted trading at one point today. Most banking is done online now, so long lines at banks to withdraw funds are not something most are going to see these days. What is happening instead is that customers are withdrawing their funds from the riskier, mostly smaller banks, and putting them into larger banks that they believe are "too big to fail" because they believe the Fed will step in to prevent that. While this is quickly turning into a partisan issue with each side blaming the other, open up your wallet and look at the color of your federal reserve notes (known as U.S. dollars). They are GREEN, not blue, and not red. You "reap what you sow" is a fact of life, not only in agriculture (you can't plant corn and expect to harvest watermelons), but also in the financial world, and after years of corruption in the business world and financial markets, the time to reap the consequences seems to be upon us. America has prospered for too long off the backs of cheap labor outside the U.S. while investments and start up firms have become just as risky and worthless as gambling in Las Vegas, throwing money around as entertainment without producing anything of real value. This is a MORAL issue, not a political issue. The time to pay off our debts that we have immorally been ignoring for decades, no matter which political office has been in power, is now upon us it would seem.
3rd FDIC-Insured Bank Fails in 5 Days but Feds Avoid Black Monday by Bailing Out Depositors
Sunday morning U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen appeared on Sunday talk shows to announce that the Fed was NOT bailing out Silicon Valley Bank or any other banks, as they did in 2008. However, faced with the possibility of bank runs and a Black Monday collapse of the stock market, the Feds apparently reversed course (or maybe this was their intention all along?) and did just exactly what they said they would not do, and put into place a program to bail out depositors who were not covered by the FDIC's limit of $250k per account. The FDIC also closed another bank, Signature Bank in New York, but assured depositors that they could get all of their money out of their accounts on Monday. And it worked, as futures trading that began Sunday night jumped up, instead of crashing, and Wall Street breathed a deep sigh of relief. We now have had 3 FDIC-insured banks fail in 5 days, but it doesn't matter if your account was insured or not, as the Fed is just going to give everyone their money back. So the financial Armageddon has been postponed, again. The Big Tech billionaires, like Mark Cuban, whined and complained over the weekend that the Fed was not stepping in to save them, so the Fed obliged. The banking system was saved, for now, so the $billions can continue to pour into Wall Street to fund the military industrial complex to continue their wars, as well as $billions flowing into Big Pharma to keep funding never-ending emergency use authorizations for new drugs and vaccines. This won't fix the systemic problem with our financial system, but at least depositors should be able to get access to their money Monday, even though that money will be worth far less than it was on Friday. Get ready for the mass consolidation of the banking industry now and the rollouts of Digital IDs and eventually Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
The Government May Stop Issuing Social Security Payments After the Debt Limit is Hit
There’s a very real possibility the government will stop issuing Social Security payments after the debt limit is hit. Scary as that prospect is, however, the alternative might be even worse: A little-known provision of a 1996 law could be interpreted to allow the Social Security trust fund to be used not only to pay Social Security’s monthly checks but also to circumvent the debt limit and pay all the government’s otherwise overdue bills. If that happens, any short-term relief to Social Security recipients would come with a potentially huge long-term price tag: The Social Security trust fund could be exhausted much sooner than currently projected—in just a couple of years, in fact.
2nd FDIC-Insured Bank in 3 Days COLLAPSES! Bank Runs, Trading Halted on Some Banks
Silicon Valley Bank became the second FDIC-insured bank to collapse in 3 days today. They are reportedly the 16th largest bank in the U.S., and the largest bank to collapse since the 2008 financial meltdown, and the second largest bank to ever collapse in the U.S. While it was still not the main headline news this morning in the corporate media, a glance at the headlines as I began to write this article shows that it is apparently now getting the headline news it should receive, as bank runs are starting, and some banks suspended trading today to stop the carnage. The Alternative Media is mostly still asleep, ranting and raving about new "Jan. 6 footage" and the Tucker Carlson show, or talking about the latest AI technology that is going transform everyone into transhumans and hack our brains. But this news about Silicon Valley Bank collapsing today has led to a dramatic drop in value in trading for ALL banks, and several of them reportedly suspended trading on the NYSE for a while today. Bank runs have also been reported across the country.
