Petition For Inclusion In The Fed's Early Distribution Newsletter
Today any lingering doubts that the market is a complete and manipulated farce were put to rest following the epic embarassment that was the early release of FOMC minutes due to what Steve Liesman announced was a leak of the March minutes yesterday to a hundred or so staffers and various lobby organizations, which means the minutes promplty became public knowledge to anyone and everyone connected to Washington, such as all hedge funds, banks, and other financial firms. Everyone, except of course, the general public. Which is why we politely petition the Fed to add us and all of ours readers to the early distribution list for the Minutes and all other releases that are leaked in advance of distribution to the general public. Since we have all given up on any pretense of a "fair and efficient" market, it is only "fair" (at least until such time that Chairman Bernanke decides to finally start throwing €500 and ¥100,000,000,000,000 bills out of helicopters).
We urge readers to make liberal use of the Fed's contact page and request "fair" and equal treatment with those who in the eyes of the Fed are more equal than all others.

Is anyone surprised by this?
@Capitalist
No, just a reminder who are lords and masters are. American liberty is a fairy tale. We are not free men, we choose to be enslaved.
What else does the Fed leak to those for whom frontrunning is still legal?
If you think they are going to regulate themselves, think again.

Thank you comrade.

thank you
benny and the inkjets
Thank you for sharing this one h_h!
I did send in an email asking to be included on their secret early release distribution list. Here is the response I just received:
Dear Mr. --------:
Thank you for your recent correspondence to the Federal Reserve Board regarding the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes.
The minutes of the March 19-20 were released at 9 a.m. on April 10--five hours earlier than scheduled. The reason is they were inadvertently sent early to a list of individuals who normally receive the minutes by e-mail shortly after their usual release time. The individuals on the distribution list--primarily congressional employees and employees of trade organizations--received the minutes shortly after 2 p.m. on April 9.
Again, we thank you for writing.
Sincerely,
LOD
Board Staff
No cigar. Thank you for playing. Next!
Waste of time....I would do it if it was Petition for Fed's Early Destruction Newsletter
Some congressional assistant, who got tickled too much, will end up getting the boot (after being promised a job emptying wastepaper baskets at the golden sack).
MAYBE THEY GIVE EVERYBODY WHO SIGNS UP A FREE GOLD COIN?!!
Its time to send a lynch mob to the eckles estate!

"Which is why we politely petition the Fed to add us and all of ours readers to the early distribution list for the Minutes and all other releases that are leaked in advance of distribution to the general public."
April 1st is over my friend
That's a pretty offensive statement considering we still have men and women fighting for our freedoms in Iraq and Afghanistan right NOW.
'Liberty' is NOT freedom...liberty is permission from a master.
Not really, but I guess I am a bit surprised at the blatantness of this federal reserve sponsored insider trading. I figured it would be a bit more informal than this.
S.H.I.T. !

Forget about getting on the Fed's inside information early distribution list.
I want to be on the Fed's QE++ IV drip.

Where's my bailout? After all, I'm entitled to it! Or is it that some bailouts and printing presses are more equal that others?
I signed up, but I think I hear a drone outsi-
smuckers?.....
OMG!! THEY KILLED SMUCKERS!!! BASTARDS!!
Hey....Rand Paul did all he could.
If you're Scott London, you get outed as a "rogue" inside trader, if you're a Fed toadie, you get rich with no legal worries.
Tyler stirring up some shit..I love it, but I'm sure the black helicopters are on the way....and not to dump any cash on us.
I don't like to read newsletters...
BUT I DO LIKE TO GET A BAILOUT!!!!
a trillion should be enough to cover expenses...
Access to minutes? Where's the discount window?
Gross was kicked out of the Boys Club for about a year after talking about an unreleased report
That's why he is currently bullish treasuries....

The US is now a total manipulated circus for the privileged and connected. A total farcical shitshow. Worse than a banana republic. State capitalism run amok. Disgraceful how the mighty have fallen.
End the FED...NOW!
We realize that you are still struggling with fax machines but we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the internet and it's efficient, information dissemination capabilities.
the internet and it's efficient, information dissemination capabilities.
the only reason we learn of this is the internet...what a marvelous thing it is!
The only ink i'll be scibbling on will be on the end the fed petition.
Where is the list of early recipients?
Probably stored in the address book of their fax machine or:
"Actually we just send the minutes to Lloyd and he takes care of all that for us at no charge."
This is an outrage! Somebody should do something.....(crickets chirping)
I just used the Feds "contact us" email. My email confirmation included a date for my IRS audit.

Subject : FOMC Minutes Release
Today's early release of the FOMC is hardly inadvertent. There's sufficient evidence that early releases to designated private entities who just happen to have impactful, meaningful and substantial access to world financial markets has been a "standard" practice for an extended period of time for the FED and other government reporting agencies.
This must stop now or just let us all (the majority public) know at the same exact time and not a nano second after anyone else including HFT trading platforms. Change out the Fax machine!
Already received a well thought out "boiler plate" response (see below). No mention of an investigation. How funny!
Dear Mr. RuBearish10

I do not want to participate in such a robbery. People, this is outrageous. I don't want to become crony myself, I want cronyism to end!
what if we have reached a 'terminal velocity' of truth-seekers? the voice dancing with the stars kardashians etc etc etc. drones in a drone world.
In Orwell's Animal Farm, the pigs in the main house were always a bit more equal than the rest.
<-- Gold goes where gold is loved.
<-- I love free money!
ppffft... if they gave you access to the early newsletter... they'd have to make a early early frontrun newsletter to frontrun the early newsletter readers...
TO MUCH WORK!!
The'll probably stick to the elites...
Hello Federal Reserve,
Can you please add me to the keyholders list for your gold vault in New York and any other Federal Reserve Banks and branch offices where you stash FRBNY gold such as San Francisco and Denver (not to be confused with the Mints).
Please also give me a key to the tunnel that goes from the 5th sub basement in FRBNY to the JPM vault in Chase Plaza.
Thanks,
I just phoned them and ordered a large pepperoni pizza and garlic bread. Am a bit confused though as the woman said they don't do delivery, only take you out or pick you up.
Screw early warnings. Where do I sign up to get millions of stimulus poured into my accounts?
Their response to me:
"Thank you for your recent correspondence to the Federal Reserve Board regarding the release of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting minutes.

I actually went to the Fed website and asked for addition of my email address to the list. I imagine the Black Helicopters will be arriving forthwith, and my guns will be confiscated.
