Wtf is going on?
Full economic spectrum manipulation.
Expect crackdowns on "financial freedom" in the name of "preventing economic terrorism".
Man the swap lines pumps -- this is a Category 5 hurricane!
It's raining everywhere in the world but Texas.

everyone should take a look at this right now

fulford is a source of misdirection... none of the government stooges are going turn on their masters. they will lick boots to the bitter end.
maybe he is a source of misdirection. i'd be happy to read any documentation you have on that, if it's available
He wrote of the "311 nuclear tsunami attack" on Japan. Got tinfoil hat?
I was hoping aliens were somehow involved...
Holy M Oly! This has to be the biggest can kick attempted yet.
So, no dollar shortages means no dollar ramp? That means Japan is saved? Eur/USD steadied? SNB decision makes perfect sense in this scenario?
How do we take the controllers to task? Who takes them to task?
And Au/Ag? Watch, Au is doing the slide while Ag is holding a little better. Whut is up?
Crazy. Really not worth "trading" this market, how can you account for such intervention?
Go on, take your money and run!
ORI

And the markets jump up!
This is like having every fire truck in the county arrive at the door of your apartment building and the clown on TV is saying this is good news.
But, when the building is on fire, fire trucks showing up IS good news.

Yeah, I like the 2nd bank of the US history; I always compare Bernanke to Biddle when discussing Keynesians, but obviously, it's "totally different this time". They also usually refuse to discuss the origins of the 3rd bank of the US.
Anyway, just off Marketwatch;
Predictably, the market doesn't take notice.
When you say the market doesn't take notice, do you mean the algorithms have not yet been turned on?
9:10 to Yuma?
Reminds me of that movie 3:10 to Yuma. Good movie, but it's looking like things will end like in the movie. Most people die and the bad guy gets away.

Good citizen of Metropolis!
Here's my opinion.
Fuck. Shit. Fuck. Shit.
Now you can take that advice to the bank!

Endless printing and don't say a !!!!!!! word about it!
It's OK and that's the Law!
dollar flood...
Why are Ag and Au down 3%? Something's not clicking.
Just as described by Jefferies and ZH:
The bottom line is that it looks like a Lehman like event is about to be unleashed on Europe WITHOUT an effective TARP like structure fully in place. Now maybe, just maybe, they can do what the US did and build one on the fly - wiping out a few institutions and then using an expanded EFSF/Eurobond structure to prevent systemic collapse. But politically that is increasingly feeling like a long shot. Rather it looks like we will get 17 TARPs - one for each country.
Ah, 4 already running, 13 more to go...
They never learn. Hyperinflation is a certainty.
Always was.
The banks get dollars - crisis over.
Another kick of the can. The underlying problems remain.
It works each time they've done it, so why stop now?
oops! Looks like the manipulated BS rally is almost over already! We finish lower on the day!
PMs you mean.
May one ask what constitutes "eligeble material"? Shares in Lehman Bros at 2007 peak price?
Papers... business papers... also there were some Creedence tapes...
Big wheel keeps on turning ...
is that the reason for the EUR/USD spike?
That was probably due to the Greek crisis being solved once and for all a few days ago (for the 3rd time).
One step closer to the solution.
I wish I could get a bail out whenever I had a liquidity problem.
CENTRAL BANKERS ARE SO LUCKY!
Anyone see a connection here? http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-09-14/ferrari-proves-recession-proof-as-ultra-luxury-sells-out-cars.html
The bailouts will continue until morale improves - or the shooting starts - whichever comes first.
I've got some bad receivables I'd like to monetize. Can I get in line too?
PMs down - crisis over. Told you so.
Right. Cause infinite money printing is bearish for metals.
Who says it goes to the PMs? Apparently not.
Only real savings go to PM's. Play money goes down the UBS affirmative action rabbit hole.
Kweku Adoboli is now destined to be as famous as Didier Drogba the footballer. Or Jerome Kerviel his fellow scammer.

Not today. How long will this 'stick save' last?
Until the next crisis.
ironic timing
Gold dropping like a stone????????
Meh. Normal zig zag pattern so far. Wake me if we go below 1450
you recall post Lehman dropped like a rock
counter intuitive due to liquidity squeeze
I thought this was providing liquidity?
This isn't 2008...
stocks and oil pumping, paper metal IOU`S being written like confetti.
Sorry what happened, I was busy burying my gold in the backyard..
LMAO
So is the ECB version of buying bonds from the banks and the banks can do whatever they want with the cash?
Bingo -- there's the liquidity pump that the markets have been registering, as insiders bought hand over fist.
Look on their works, ye mighty, and despair!
Bread $10 a loaf....coming to a Kroger near you soon.

AND SO IT TRULY BEGINS...the trifecta!!!
A 2 in 1: both Eurobanks saved and QE3 commited. Bernanke is LOL. Crisis over. Merry Christmas.
what do you put in your xmas pudding?
Reality.
its funny this perception of reality : boring vs exciting. Its like ginger n spice, turns some on; not others.
Ever heard of good money chasing bad money; pouring precious water down a burst pipe, letting you wife buy on the mall with five credit cards? I could go on... But I like roast turkey just like the next guy.
Be honest: we were promised a major collapse because of the recent dollarfundingcrisis in the eurozone. And now Bennie Beard prints the bucks free! French banking stocks are spiking big time! The doomers better seek another job. Believe me, we're never to get rid of this system, the banksters rule. But merry Christmas, I think further than today. Boring world we live in.
Finally!!! How many posts of yours do I have to scroll through to read "Boring world we live in"..........PMSL
Tell me, does your wife know you pimp yourself for a living?
A pimp serves a useful task. But, the funding war is over, euro saved. Merry you-know. Boring world we live in.
This is emergency short term lending at low rates, coordinated globally. It signals big trouble.
On the Titanic, a fire breaks out due to a large explosion below deck. Captain and crew put out the fire and the cold, bored (boring), passengers give a courtesy clap and believe all is well. No one thinks to ask about the explosion or the steadily increasing tilt of the deck.
The show continues, you will have your tragedy served European style, in 9 courses. Bon Apetit!
and a happy new year?
Sure. With the euro, like it or not. I wish gold as money, but alas, it's not in. Happy 2012.
A broken market run by criminal private sector Oligarchs, a central banking cartel and its dictatorship, Politicians that run round in agitated circles like clock work orange and people that drown by numbers. George Orwell should be a proud son of Nostradamus in his resting place.

Hmmm, sounds like a Greek default, and everything else will be bought... Greece = Lehman... One must fall...
I'm having trouble paying my bills. Can I get some dollar liquidity provisions against some crappy collateral I can post? I have comic books? Baseball cards? I'd like to buy a new mansion, please...
U messin up liquidity and solvency ol chap
you have baseball cards? lulz
Haha...you're very civil! You use comic books and baseball cards, the Banksters use used condoms after screwing all the peasants!!
That they are even attempting this, given the half-life these interventions have... We are rapidly approaching the endgame.
my friend gold disagrees
So gold is finished? Your suggestion is what, exactly?
that the endgame is not near.
So another year or two?
They have precisely one tool at their disposal and they're going to use it until it breaks.
Well everyone says that Marc Faber is a terminator from the future to warn humanity....Bernanke will print and print and print.
there is so mush short in T1 uni especially on frenchies run people run!!!
It had to be done...
MAKE.MONEY.FAST.
Can someone please explain what this means in layman's terms?
if you are in the usa it means bend over and spread 'em.
fair enough.. when was the last time people were told to bend over?
Yesterday? And every day before that?
You correctly phrased your answers in the form of a question. Now, on to Double Jeopardy.
I'll take "Money For Nothing and Chicks For Free" for $500, please, Alex.
I'll take a shot at that. It means that central banks will be printing money and loaning it to needy banks who will pledge collateral of dubious value. In the short term all the holes get plugged. In the long term the price of everything will be going up, except your wages. Stagflation.
Thanks!
if I understanding is correct
European banks had trouble getting access to USD funds as no one would trust them. So all the cnetral banks decided that they would print the needed money and give it to them in exchange for Greek bonds and pieces of worthless papers. Am I right?
The contrarian view to hyperinflation that I have read is that the money never makes it to circulation since it is going to sit with the banks and so that would not cause any inflation. Is the correct?
Or they'll pledge their available gold which the Central Banks will gladly accept when they default.
(note) unlimited amount against pooled collateral.
Throw in all your gold and silver and we'll give you a nice little loan!
No one will lend European banks money short term because they don't trust them (banks don't trust banks). To stem this disaster, they have a coordinated global effort to provide liquidity using the wink wink approach (you give me you're collateral and I'll pretend it's worth what you say it is). Repos are supposed to be over collateralized but something tells me the collateral is "mark to unicorn."
Surreptitious swap line borrowing at the Fed was causing markets to worry, so they've expanded the program radically and announced all is well, business as usual, nothing to see here.
Markets will be fooled by the big, public action.
They are putting as many ad hoc things out there to buffer Greece's imminent default (when Tim Geitner says "no chance" it means in 3 weeks).
It is akin to the crew of the Titanic tossing anything not nailed down into the ocean, in the hopes that the flotsam may provide floatations once we're in the surf.
The Banking Cartel is in full-speed mode to further increase levels of agony for everyone else unless its demand for full control can be granted.
With gold on the way down, is it time to stock up?
kind of explains YESTERDAYS 50 handle straight up move in the s&p.
whocouldaknown.......
the system doesn't collapse when all of the participants on the planet (in charge of that system) have agreed to save it.
So all of the underwater mortgages have now floated to the surface and sovereign budgets are now all in balance? Sweet.
Tell me how this saves the system.. the way I see it this solves nothing, just makes prices higher, destroys wealth and savings, and brings higher and higher inflation. This just delays the collapse and makes it more painful. However when hyperinflaion comes, no one can stop that, and it's coming.
Fortress Central Banking has risen from the ocean. You may cast your waves of credit, your lack of liquidity, ships filled with the screams of the poor. We will absorb them with paper, cancel them with key strokes and the cries will be quieted and cancelled out. We are the beast of the apocalypse, the four horsemen work at our behest, all shall bow before us in our might.
Hey guys! Did someone remember to bring the gold?
is this a pseudo qe?
futures are up ...BUY BUY BUY...more liquidity, bitchez
Fade the Bazooka.
Just another short term fix i.e high on paper!
I wouldn't be surprised if our masters take the market down to new lows by a small amount just to throw everyone off the trail before we rocket up into xmas/new year
Price that in motherfuckers!!!
If I shit in a box would that be considered elligble collateral?
I think banks will only accept shit in a Dixie Cup now.

One Central Bank to rule them all?
Yes! One worldwide central bank is the end game. One worldwide police state then worldwide eugenics. These are loving people!
So mechanically how does this work? Digital money creation which is then lent to the banks? Is their additional government debt created?
European, USA, England, Japan, Swiss ? – oh dear, oh dear.
You will look back on todays affordable prices for the things like food and energy with fondness because they are all going to go up in the months and years to come and when everyone cannot afford to eat or travel or keep warm in the winter then these guys will say ‘we can make things better, you just have to give us more power.’
Thats right, well as long as the richest top .001% are made wealthier, well frankly...fuck the rest of you!
Remember the last time their was a rogue trader in euroland issue. Bernanke cut rate 75bp. QE3 the euro edition this time.
Correlation?
this is so disappointing, and to say I knew it makes me even more disappointed
I felt with Geithner flying off to Europe something really stupid was about to happen.
Stealt stupidity! I was looking to see if someone made the connection! Funny no one has commented in the media. Don't hold your breath for an in depth analysis on the nightly business report. Now we know why the euro turned a few days ago...
Wow! Major global economies are not producing enough good jobs in concert with ORGANIC economic growth, so central banks simply create more currency and put it into circulation. What a concept. I wonder when the great R-E-S-E-T button will get pressed and the whole thing starts over.
Central planning and such as..
They have no maps, the U.S. Americans.
Bernanke is no American.. hes a Zionist Central banker.. dont try and pin this on all of America.. we have nothing to do with this...
So the entire first world is going to go absolutely fucking apeshit with the printing, at the same time. That's a brilliant idea.
i can only imagine what passes as "elligible collateral" nowadays.
Well we now know why the market has been rallying and found this temporary bottom when we all know the market belongs MUCH MUCH lower... this market is so damn rigged that it boggles my mind. Equally if not more mind boggling is the fact that the US Fed is now, once again, bailing out the entire fucking world, destroying the middle class and the value of the dollar, to satisfy their wishes of a NWO. The thing that I am just unable to comprehend with this, is how 1% of the population seems to understand the game that these bankers are playing and what it actually means.. can someone help me out with this? How is it possible that the vast majority of people have no damn clue their wealth and savings are being stolen by devaluation and that an epic world depression is coming?
People just don't seem to care about anything anymore. Governments have done well in the West to dumb everyone down. Got to be the Fluoride in the water or something.....
History repeats itself:
- bread & circuses
- financial armegeddon
- government controls (martial law)
- revolution!
> see you on the other side...
Perhaps we need more rogue traders. Perhaps he was believing the market reflected reality and did not get the memo for the handlers.
Treason in the US if you ask me. Who approved this joint action with US tender?
He didn't lose anything... because that 2 billion is backed by nothing...
Well... when my future kids (if i'm ever sadistic enough to bring some into this fucked up world) ask what happened i'm just going to print out zerohedges blog and say 'go read that'...
UNLIMITED PRINTING BY EVERY CENTRAL BANK IN PLAIN VIEW OF THE PUBLIC... AND THIS WILL SAVE EVERYTHING!
I'm glad i have wine at home... I'm going to enjoy a celebratory bottle on the edge of the cliff that is global hyperinflation... this is the end of the beginning of the end...
Are we at QE-infinity yet?

holy shit....wait a second. if you were going to take the dollar and devalue it overnight...like 2 to 1.
wouldn't it be a great , grreat idea to buy europes' assets ...even the SHIT ones, RIGHT BEFORE you devalue?
i mean in 1 year....we'll have their crap securities and they'll have 50 cents on the amount paid. ---but we paid them as if they were getting fair value.
of course, you could just say we'll accomplish this by a year from now with qe4 qe5 qex.....there isn't a need for an overnight devaluation as they do it in 'less' developed countries with financial problems.
i'm just saying this swap looks like groundwork for qe4 by april or next summer....before the election.
