ECB Backs Dijsselbloem's Liquidation Policy "Template"
It appears the European Central Bank is having trouble keeping its lies straight. When Jeroen Dijsselbloem ("Diesel-BOOM", "D-Boom", or just "Diesel") made his now infamous "template" comment last week, reality was shattered for many trend-following, momentum-monkey, hope-and-dreamers that actual real monetary pain could exist for a bank that was entirely incompetent (and insolvent). Instantly the rest of Europe stepped up to deny-deny-deny (as did D-Boom himself) explaining this was a 'unique' situation with French ECB Director Benoît Coeuré explicitly stating that Cyprus is not a model for future bank rescues.
However, as Reuters reports, it appears fellow-Dutchman and ECB Governing Council member Klaas Knot said last night that there was "little wrong" with J-Boom's comment and that "the content of his remarks comes down to an approach which has been on the table for a longer time in Europe. This approach will be part of the European liquidation policy." Further confirming D-Boom's perspective, Knot added that, "there has to be transparency about losses in the banking sector... and banks have to wind down their loss-making operations."
It seems that in 2012 the ECB split was between the Germans and Draghi on unlimited inflation threats; in 2013 it will be between those who want bail-ins and bail-outs.
European Central Bank Governing Council member Klaas Knot said on Friday there was "little wrong" with Eurogroup chair Jeroen Dijsselbloem's recipe for dealing with future euro zone banking crises, a newspaper reported.
...
Those comments - which Dijsselbloem later rowed back on -prompted a market selloff and led two other ECB policymakers, including executive board member Benoit Coeure, to say on Tuesday that Cyprus was a unique case.
But Knot, who sits on the bank's main decision-making body, said: "There is little wrong with Dijsselbloem's remarks.
"The content of his remarks comes down to an approach which has been on the table for a longer time in Europe. This approach will be part of the European liquidation policy."
...
In a speech on Thursday night in Amsterdam, Knot said euro zone banks needed to clean up their balance sheets by winding down loss-making operations.
"Firstly, there has to be transparency about losses in the banking sector. Secondly, banks have to wind down their loss-making operations," Knot said.
And now, once more, this time with feeling: Diesel-BOOM.

EDIT: Don't watch that muppet video if you're on peyote. Freaky shit.
Speaking of Denmark, what's going on in th silber 'market'?
Nothing. It's closed today. Prices seem to be moving up and down at random.
Not random. It may say that the market is closed, but that does not mean no trading is taking place. As a matter of fact I believe Tyler explained this last year or maybe it was two years ago. "Market closed" just means that us mortals don't get to see the whole picture for a while. Shit happens in that time nonetheless. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
I refer to yesterday's after hrs cmi trading.

Sudden, what do you see and hear from other Europeans as regards leaving their Euros in a European bank?
terrible... most realise the shit is dangerous but... they don't do anything!
It's still to far!
And when I tell them cyprus is europe... they don't seem to care or realize it!
today I was talking to a guy who has a few 100k in his account.
well off.
He says he's kind of worried but won't his money, doesn't really believe in gold ... he says he'll buy some but he's been saysing that for 2 years now.
and he's about 60years old.
I tell him he'll mist likely won't get a pension at 65 because by than the system will be imploded...
it's hard for most people to graps the situation I guess.
The econemy has been perfect for the last 20 years! don't forget that.
it's a mirrage that nobody wants to see to end and that's why they don't want to thik about it.
I am now officially almost broke. I moved it all these last 3 years. It's all hidden. 3 houses sold, and the money is also transfered into PM.
I even took a loan to lower my net value and put it in PM's.
I can wait. got a great job and so does the misses so as long as the economy floats we'll do fine. when the shit breaks down, we'll move out of europe and start over with a little treasure chest :)
We are now applying for a second citizenship in the Antilles and I might buy a small appartment there if there's more time to keep all options on the table.
Most people just don't want to think like this.
DID YOU KNOW THAT ONLY 1 IN 7000 PEOPLE INVEST IN PM'S?!?!
AND 87% of them do that in paper!?!?
PEOPLE ARE DOOMED WHEN THE SYSTEM BREAKS!!
Would someone mind explaining to me how in the face of massive global asset seizures and strict bank deposit controls this is bullish for pm's ? Seems to me the pm's would get absolutely crushed during the time frame.. at least at first. At some point if they reset the system assuming they anchor it to gold I could see it launch higher to what ever mix they use to tie it to the new currency. I would think there might be a chance to buy pm's dirt cheap in those initial panic flights. I'd sure like a chance to add more gold if the opportunity presents itself.
At least at first, yes. There may be some panic selling of just about everything in the desperation to get liquid, but as SD points out, not that many people in the US or Europe own PMs. PMs are valuable, transportable, and relatively fungible (easy to buy and sell with low costs). All that is defensive, the least awful option given what is coming.
There are dozens of opinions here, but I think most would agree that there is a lot more paper than physical in gold, and manipulation in silver. Once that becomes known, the party starts.
I buy silver right now at a 40% discount in france.
i never thought this would happen.
Sure I curse my for buying a shitload on newyear but that's why I constantly buy.
There's a lot of antique silverware on the markets right now that's dirtcheap. auctions are pilling up to the sky right now.
and silver coins like eagles carry a 30% premium. go fish...
I'll take Lesbos island...if they are sincerely liquidating Europe.....just give me Lesbos and I'll have a Happy Ending.
We all are figuring out that they are going after the "rich" for their money (which really means the middle class businesses and corporations because we all know that if you have a few billion you can bribe the bank official to allow you to send whatever money to wherever and if not you can remind him you can pay for him to be killed). Who's next, Reggie was going to write about who may be next for next week I can't wait and see. I think it will be Spain.

This is the tragedy that SHOULD have befallen the United States in 2008...but did not. I've been chewing over possible alternatives to "this" but I can't think of any right now. Obviously I find it hard to believe anyone would be advocating the end of the euro from inside Europe...and I'm unclear if that's what's being done here. If I was using the euro in any capacity I would like to know of course. The same goes if I'm charged with protecting the Continent in some capacity. Is there a cost to a peace which has lasted well over 65 years now? I would like and would like it if many others said no of course.
"This is the tragedy that SHOULD have befallen the United States in 2008...and will end the dollar" Fixed, FYI, Texas wants their gold back.
Better get in line behind zee Germans. Swiss are getting all uppity about "their" gold, too.
You can only rehypothecate Libya's gold so many times.
Patience.

Better get in line behind zee Germans.
The Germans are fucking pussies; Texas will get its godamned gold back, bet on it.

You call this peace?
I think you'll find the moniker "hostage crisis" is far more fitting.

When you tell one lie, it leads to another
So you tell two lies to cover each other
Then you tell three lies and, Oh Brother,
You're in trouble up to your ears!
So you tell four lies to try to protect you
Then you tell five lies so folks won't suspect you
Then you tell six lies and you'll collect
A life filled with worries and fears
'Cause you can't remember how many lies you've told
And half the things you say aren't true
And sometime you'll slip up, you'll trip up and then
Whatever will become of you?
So you lie and lie without even trying
And each lie you tell will keep multiplying
'Till the whole wide world will know you're lying
Then you'll be
Suspected
Detected
Rejected
Neglected
Disliked
And you should!
When you lie, you're closing the door
On everything good

Got a liquidity problem, call 1-800-PtrNrth and ask for Diesel Boom to get prompt service
Oh dear. it is going to be the savers vs the takers for the next while as banks and governments start to run out of new sources of money. What we are seeing in Cyprus and Spain is unnerving for many people – especially savers as the takers get more bold and desperate. The government, the Banks and supra-national organizations are creating new policies that say they can take your savings http://tinyurl.com/d9d74qf

The two quotes below might have been accurate - if they included a qualification to the effect "EXCEPT THE ECB"
In a speech on Thursday night in Amsterdam, Knot said euro zone banks <<EXCEPT THE ECB>> needed to clean up their balance sheets by winding down loss-making operations.
"Firstly, there has to be transparency about losses in the banking sector <<EXCEPT BY THE ECB>>. Secondly, banks have to wind down their loss-making operations," Knot said.

Not sure I like term liquidation...
People might find out that "liquidation" has a slightly different meaning to any Russian Oligarchs (if any actually got ripped off) in Cyprus.
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/lew-to-head-to-europe-for-talks-with-officials-2013-03-29?link=MW_home_latest_news
And the cluless Lew is going to europe.
How come you americans appoint traeas sec somebody who has absolutely no clue about finance?
We Americans didnt appoint him....CONgress did
LOL.
No. No. No.
Lew worked for Citi. Citi appointed him. That is the same as saying the NY Fed did it.
Maybe Lew wants to see firsthand the Shit spew from these idiots mouths, you know, on site training...
It's so obvious how "leaks" happen, right on time.
It's just "coincidental" that FT and Reuters are publishing this stuff now, purely "coincidental".
This has implications for other tax havens as well. New Sheriff in town? We shall see...
Dijsselbloem has no choice but to say what he did, the EU has no choice but to rubber stamp what Dijsselbloem said.
The EU has a 'bank run' problem = liability imbalance problem = Target2 problem = big headache for both ECB and Germany. The EU is hinting that there will be 'levies' in all countries not just ones on the edge. The idea is to keep people from running into Germany or Finland ... and causing the balance sheet 'issues' that emerged in Cyprus!
The REAL big problems are:
a) People refuse to discuss the real problem (energy).
b) Europe attempts to solve an energy shortage with money, That is, by lending more or less money into circulation.
c) The energy problem solves itself, there is conservation by other means ... the bankrupting of entire countries. Just now Cyprus has been bankrupted. Next up are Slovenia and Hungary. Afterward, France and UK.
d) Instead of getting rid of the cars and keeping some residual functioning economies, the cars are clung to like baby rattles and entire economies are annihilated.
Good choice Dijsselbloem! I like Dijsselbloem the same way I like hard currencies: he's getting rid of the cars ... in his own way.
As long as one car runs in these god-forsaken countries there is more ruin ... until there is nothing at all left, not one stone standing atop another ... then there are no cars anyway.
CLewless Lew ...better!
We Amerikans appointed Lew the same way you Europeons appointed Draghi.
Easy, "plausible deniability."
How do you think Bernanke got his job?
I am getting weary of this Aaron Dieselblum
Admitting they were lying... Moar loss of credibility.
Moar proof they're really just making it up as they go along. Not an inspiration for unbacked fiat currency. Guess they really do want depositor money to flood out of banks.
Default already... this is getting so repetitive....
Or maybe it's the music....
Still plenty of people, music and a few chairs left...
And plenty of money. They will do it the moment the bank runs start.

This one is for you European Union . Couldn't resist with all the other great comments posted. :-D
Keep your money away from banksters. If they have it they act like drug addicts. If a bankster is caught with money he needs to be locked up. Arrest them.
Liquidation policy.......
Liquidation suits the more extreme entrepot economies of the North.
What they really want is a transfer of PIiG consumption so that they can consume.
But they don't produce anything net either.
Indeed because they produce more industrial goods they consume energy at a faster rate.
The French at least produce Nuclear energy........
The Dutch & Germans produce nothing but painnnnnn.
Amerikans will just roll over and let them take everything in the account. Dumb asses

Quote " The EU/IMF raiding bank accounts in Cyprus to bail out the country's financial system sets a dangerous precedent and investors should " run for the hills ".
bail out =SQuid + FED ; aka Pax americana meme.
Bail in = Merkel meme; core europe banks only.
Can they do both...??
Bail-ins will inevitably lead to interest hikes as banks fight for equity consolidation amongst themselves to stay alive. The bad banks, LTRO tarred, will be the first to fall. That is what the Diesel Bloom doctrine of transparency implies.
Which is poison to USD/QE/ZIRP/FED.
"This approach will be part of the European liquidation policy". It is also part of the US and British liquidation policies. Ellen Brown, author of Web of Debt, has written an article that explains it here:http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/03/28/the-confiscation-scheme-planned-for-us-and-uk-depositors/#.UVSwp9sfiB8.
The worst part is that derivative exposure is senior to depositors, so if B of A or Chase or any bank goes under, she says, "In the US, depositors have actually been put in a worse position than Cyprus deposit-holders, at least if they are at the big banks that play in the derivatives casino. The regulators have turned a blind eye as banks use their depositaries to fund derivatives exposures. And as bad as that is, the depositors, unlike their Cypriot confreres, aren’t even senior creditors. Remember Lehman? When the investment bank failed, unsecured creditors (and remember, depositors are unsecured creditors) got eight cents on the dollar. One big reason was that derivatives counterparties require collateral for any exposures, meaning they are secured creditors. The 2005 bankruptcy reforms made derivatives counterparties senior to unsecured lenders."
Anyone with an account in a bank that has derivative exposure is asking for trouble. Fortunately, I closed my account with Chase and opened one at a local bank last year.
At this point, the only way to know who's lying and who's telling the truth is to get on with another liquidation.
So, is everybody ready? Start the music.

This estimate was from July-2012. You can fill in the blanks.
FACT: D-Boom made that comment.
FACT: markets jittered, so for political expediency they did a backtrack Pr exercise.
FACT: markets calmed ( a bit) so the IDIOTS think - "we pulled it off, haha template works"
FACT: THEY WILL TRY IT AGAIN!!!

This is NOT the template: They are developing it. This is the basic idea, being refined as we speak. Testing, evaluating the responses (How did the population react?) They have eyes on the ground observing.
Once they are satisfied, they will move this up the ladder, to a country, not big, but not as small as Cyprus.
To add further refinements to the model.
Then they will try a smaller country.
Once they are satisfied?
Spain. Italy. Portugal.
The Amercian and Canadian banks will fall, as the shadow banking relationships will draw them into the mess.
