BoE's Tucker Preparing To Self-Immolate... And Take Others Down
Paul Tucker, the Bank of England executive at the center of the Barclays/Diamond trigger-conversation, has issued a statement requesting a Treasury hearing to show his "keenness to clarify the position with regard to the events" of that hanging chad of a phone-call. What is most troublesome (for every major banker and politician) is his apparent willingness to take more down with him. As the M.A.D. escalates, MNI reports that minutes from 2007 show Tucker (who was/is in line as we noted yesterday for the top-job once King leaves next year) was fully aware from the early days of the financial crisis that market participants believed Libor was rigged. The Group’s November 2007 minutes, from a Tucker-chaired meeting, state “Several group members thought that Libor fixings had been lower than actual traded interbank rates through the period of stress.” The minutes show that not only was the issue raised back in November 2007 but that the BOE went to great lengths as the crisis deepened the following year to keep its finger on the money markets’ pulse. It seems that instead of mounting the 'plead-da-fif' defense Tucker is coming all-guns-blazing and is willing to drag more names into this miasma as a suicide-bomb of a hearing where the truth is realized could well bring every high ranking banking official to admit the continued unreality of Libor rates.

This is such a bad movie, it`s all smoke and mirrors.
My advice would be to round up the high class hookers in the City of London and then interriogate them. You will learn more about dirty finance than from 20 government enquirys.
Especially the transvestite ones
Rook a few of the PTB, walk away clean, and write a best-seller about the corruption ten years after the fact.....
The Ollie North position. Be the scandal, then write about the scandal and get paid 10k for guest meetings.
Yeah right, just round em up and "interrogate" them. That'll get you lots of good intel for sure. Why not just ask them respectfully? They probably hate the bankers as much as anyone.
We could send Anderson Cooper to 'interrogate the suspect.'
Only b-cos there's no 'plead-the-fif' in UK? Da.
Let's change the movie. Dvd.
"high class" and hooker in the same sentence is an oxymoron... Although the interviews would still be interesting.
"high class" and "expensive" are synonymous to most 'Gringos', regardless of the object being qualified... conditioning works.
Nothing will happen. This is just another puppet show to entertain the muppets.
This is such a bad movie, it`s all smoke and mirrors.
If only I could believe it -- a room full of bankers and central bankers all stabbing each other in the back.
If you'll allow me to borrow the McDonalds trite ad:
I'M LOVIN' IT!
JERRY! JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!
Send in Leroy Jenkins!!
EPIC! Free fireworks in the UK to celebrate our independence!
Seems its all going down... Turd Ferguson states that the other bullion bank cartel members have all just turned on JP Morgan.

How long until Blythe says 'The Bernank made me do it'!?!?!
"...celebrate our independence!..."
What independance ?
Indepen-'dance'...:
Bread and circuses all..
more Popcorn pls...
How 'bout "More Cowbell"...!!!!!!!!!!
I've got a fever. And the only prescripton...
what with Goldmans Flopbook, JP Morgans hedged/un-hedged trading losses, the EZ bwankers meltdown, this new Liebor rigging scandal banking isn't looking too healthy
the Davos agenda is filling up ...how will the village idiots, sorry Bankers Showcase Event, resolve so many issues amongst the finger-dips and bubbly?
Every year seems to bring more problems than answers to Davos... mainly because they keep propping the problems/shit up ..anyone heard of the Free Market solution at Davos?
Remember, according to the bankers it's a "victimless crime", so there should be no punishment.
In other news, a homeless man was thrown in jail today for possession of half an ounce of marijuana. He claimed it was for personal use, but one can never be too safe.
If Nigel Farage has anything to say about this, it will be that it was all Tucker's fault, Mervyn King knew nothing & that Tucker's offer to resign shows his good character, since he doesn't want to see the reputation of such a fine institution as the Bank of England further sullied.
Farage Rant: buffering... buffering... buffering...
+1 for knowing on which side Farage's bread is buttered and +100 for making this statement so deadpan hilarious
How English it would be of the Little Englander.
Reddit posters must be suffering heart attacks - corrupt central bankers? That does not compute. Their textbooks SPECIFICALLY point out that central bankers are incorruptible, and always act entirely in the interest of the public.
Their textbooks also state that modern Economics is about prosperity of the common people.
Yep all of that, but remember.......Never trust a sqealer!!!!

The royal family + cronies call all the shots through the Bank of England. Anybody who believes its the parliament would be dead wrong. Becasue thats just as phony as the two party system over here.
Someone needs to go to jail or gets shot between the eyes so that the law of the land means something once. All these fines, step down, etc just make the public and the laws look even more stupid.
If he tries to bring people down with him, he could end up being found dead in the forest.
... Give all partys a 20 Million dollar bonus and thank them for their distinguished career service.
In that event lets hope he "Goes in good company, and lots of em.......
tucker will spill the beans.
name the names unless he has an mi6 heart attack or david kelly suicide.
the fat faced fucking actor tucker will name the names he is told to name.
they will all leave with massive pensions.
the toothless fsa will rearrange the decks yet again.
the rothschild goldman sachs choosen new clean team will parachuted in to a shiny new uk central bank.
a little multi million pound redecoration will be done as the subtle masonic symbolism will be to understated for the new brash bob diamond type goldmans.
the full tilt cranked up printing of money from nothing will start again for the mega collapse and new order.
medicated gordon brown,liar blair,alistair i like sodomy darling and george nice but dim osbourne will all be put before yet another sham masonic enquiry and say.

When we are successful, and we will be, we have a real chance at this new world order, an order in which a credible United Nations can use its peacekeeping role to fulfill the promise and vision of the U.N.'s founders." - george skull and bonesman bush
Let's not get carried away here. Tucker will do nothing other than deny all charges, and defend himself and the BoE. He will not name names, he will not admit anything.
I believe Tucker will experience an event that leaves him speechless. Wanna bet?
The best explaination of the whole charade is this http://youtu.be/cP70v45IL10
From a turnaround management perspective, when a firm goes bankrupt, the creditors all play friendly, and then it becomes everyone for themselves.
In this case, the BoE vs. Barclays is indicative of the desperation now that independent financial reporting like Zero Hedge, Max Keiser etc inform the shareholders of the various inside deals’ that were done to keep the firm / ponzi going....this reaches a 'shareholder critical mass' and then the cosy relationship suddenly breaks.
If / when these banks go down, the government and BoE will be implicated.
Hence the damage control done by the BoE at the moment.
The kiddies are fighting among themselves now…..which means more prosecutions likely as the government seek to protect themselves.
your thoughts reek of Hopium! But I share it freely as well.. we can at least hope! its preferable to the alternative...
If When rates go up, it all comes apart. Mortgage resets for those that can't refi, gov't debt. What's that ticking?
On a side question, why does my strikethrough not work? Looks fine in the editor.
It is about interest rates for Pete's sake. Who are the market makers for this financial product? Time to pull the curtain back.
Anyone for State- and Nation-owned banks yet? Anyone see a problem with capitalist free-market "we can regulate ourselves" banks yet?
Um yeah: Iran.
That guarantees nothing but would be a start nonetheless.
I don't remember the "free-market" ever establishing the Bank of England.
"I care not what puppet is placed upon the throne of England to rule the Empire on which the sun never sets. The man who controls Britain's money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply." Nathan Mayer Rothschild (abt 1838)
No way...big banks rigging the market in their favour. Wouldn't happen in the US, they have the Fed for that.
Someone check my math here (I only have a masters degree in economics, not a PhD). 2007 < 2008. Therefore 2007 occurred before 2008.
"It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place, which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.
Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money. Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth? Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.
Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
In the name of God, go!"
speech by Oliver Cromwell to the House of Commons, 20 April 1653
"gold is your god"
Aaahh, the good old days.
Let's hope. Such is the path of idolitror's when their faith has been under attack for so long.
When things get hot, they begin like this:

in the end they get like this:

IMO, when it comes to actual life or death and leadership, I can understand the passion and dedication. Virtually all in the military love the Jessup character. They do so because the movie so clearly displays the perversions of reality the MSM & Hollywood promote about the military culture; Jessup speaks for them.
However, when it comes to a cabal seeking to maintain control over their pocket picking operations of the people. Well then a code red with a mace is in order.
"God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty. ... what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms" ~ Jefferson & Jessup are two sides of the same coin.
Happy 4th of July
What do all bankers want?
Tree fitty.
