Kathimerini Pulls Its "Emergency Liquidity Assistance" Article

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As we reported moments ago, Greek Kathimerini caught the world's attention when it reported that "Banks already requesting ELA," an article we transcribed in an earlier post. And yet, a mere click on the story's URL after the article had been noticed by the major wire services, reveals something disturbing:

Since we can only assume this is due to a technical glitch, and does not involve the censorship of critical information about the Greek banking system, information that has huge consequences for the Greek population, which some unelected bureaucrat decided was too subversive and too truthy, and made a very angry if persuasive phone call to the editors of Kathimerini, we represent the article in its entirety again for anyone who may have missed it.

The EU died the day the "Inner Party" overthrew the Ukrainian governmnet and started a dick measuring contest with Putin.

Putin made it official yesterday in cutting off gas shipments to 6 vulnerable EU nations, and, though not a part of the EU, the Swiss took off in one of the lifeboats today--"Adios bitches!" or the equivalent in Swiss.

The banksters need to repay us.

2: Central Banks fail to communicate.

3: News Articles mysteriously disappear.

4: Self preservation takes precendence.

The thing about acid is that you might end up playing both roles multiple times and never know it until the youtube video makes the rounds.

Missie, I mean play him, oh God that doesn't even sound right.... as in the character role.... but on acid.
I didn't mean to infer like Bay of Pigs said that I was gonna "do" the midget.  On acid.  I've never been big into height impaired people sex.  But I can understand somebody wanting to explore the Bearded Lady.  Interesting role play or.. role play. 
Like Reg first thing in the morning with a day's growth.  I can see it now, with a pair of Mike's panties over his head.  On acid.
No, I'm not so sure that's not that far from reality these days.
The acid I mean.
The rest is just humor.  I'm really OK.

Hope you're thriving on the road of happy destiny.

Hey sweetness!

Doing very well for the most part, thanks for asking. Not too much reason to be scared unless they shut the planet down. Which they may have to...

The midget gets to have fun, but he is also abused by Roarke some. The acid does give it an edge. 

I'll play Roarke, but I will play it more like a female Joel Grey from the movie Cabaret. It will be marvelous...

Years ago Mrs K and I went on a cruise.  She hemmed and hawed about what dresses to get... were formal dinners, etc.  (Was a long, long time ago in a Cockaigne far, far away when people still dressed for dinner and civility abounded.  Wonderful times, now gone from mankind's very zeitgeist.)  I talked her into a tux.  The ladies were should we say, quite Jealous.

Be well

When you find something interesting page, cache it yourself over at archive.org for all of us (put the URL in the Wayback machine) - if it doesn't already have it it will offer to save it, which you should do.  I then bookmark the cached URL ( archive.org/[target_page]) as well as the original

The wayback machine periodically snapshots the target URL over time.

LONDON, January 13 (Fitch) The Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) has waived the reporting of certain asset encumbrance data with the aim of avoiding detection by the market of emergency liquidity assistance (ELA) provided by the Bank of England (BoE). Non-disclosure of ELA makes it more difficult for market participants to assess banks' liquidity positions in a timely manner, especially during periods of stress, Fitch Ratings says. The PRA's approach is permitted under the European Banking Authority's guidelines for encumbrance disclosure, which specifically envisages an exemption for liquidity assistance provided by central banks via collateral swaps.

Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

 

I hit the city and

I lost my band

I watched the needle

take another man

Gone, gone, the damage done.

 

I sing the song

because I love the man

I know that some

of you don't understand

Milk-blood

to keep from running out.

 

I've seen the needle

and the damage done
