Tyskland överväger nya grekiska nödlån för att rädda bankerna

May 31st, 2011 4 comments

Wall Street Journal rapporterar att Tyskland överväger att överge sin påtryckning om att grekiska obligationsinnehavare skall dela på bördan och gå med på fortsatta nödlån oavsett, trots att detta går tvärtemot den inhemska opinionen och därmed med all sannolikhet innebär slutet för Merkel.

Inte för att detta kommer som någon direkt överraskning, då det återigen visar på hur oerhört angelägna De Styrande är av att se om sina egna, dvs bankerna, som annars skulle drabbas hårt. Tro inte för en sekund att fortsatta lån till Grekland handlar om något annat. Ni kommer kanske ihåg vad som händer om vi får se en grekisk default.

Här är ett utdrag från Wall Street Journal:

Germany is considering dropping its push for an early rescheduling of Greek bonds in order to facilitate a new package of aid loans for Greece, according to people familiar with the matter.

Berlin’s concession that it must lend Greece more money, even without burden-sharing by bondholders in the short term, would help Europe overcome its impasse over Greece’s funding needs before the indebted country runs out of cash in mid-July.

But some officials in Berlin hope that a short-term fix can be found that would allow a full deal including a bond rescheduling later this year.

Euro-zone officials have acknowledged for weeks that Greece will face a shortfall in financing of around €30 billion ($43 billion) a year in 2012 and 2013—even after a €110 billion bailout agreed last year. But agreement on how those gaps should be filled is proving difficult, thanks to growing political opposition in northern Europe to bailouts of profligate countries such as Greece.

Germany has for weeks argued that private investors in Greek bonds should, in some way, bear part of the burden of any new bailout package for Athens. But the European Central Bank staunchly opposes any form of debt restructuring. Meanwhile the International Monetary Fund is demanding clarity on Greece’s 2012 funding before it releases money that Greece needs to get through this summer.

Officials from the ECB, the IMF and the European Commission are currently in Athens to find a way to generate additional cash—including for the Greek government to generate more money on its own. The so-called “troika” are expected to issue their conclusions by early next week, officials said.

Greece’s government Monday stepped up preparations for billions of euros of new spending cuts, tax rises and privatizations that it plans to unveil in the next few days even as widespread public opposition to the measures continued to mount on the streets of Athens.

Och här är en försmak på hur det kommer se ut när De Styrande låter sina hantlangare påbörja utförsäljningen av grekiska tillgångar:

Greklands villkor för nya nödlån innebär att man delvis tvingas ge upp sin suveränitet

May 30th, 2011 1 comment

Financial Times rapporterar att villkoren för att Grekland skall få fortsatta nödlån enligt de senaste förhandlingarna skulle innebära “interventioner i den grekiska ekonomin från utomstående som saknar motstycke, inklusive inblandning i indrivning av skatter och privatisering av statliga tillgångar”.

Detta kommer väl knappast som en överraskning för regelbundna läsare. Det har länge varit uppenbart att denna utveckling inte bara har varit önskvärd utan även varit planen från första början. De Styrande kommer inte sluta förrän alla ekonomier är nere på knä och folket inte bara kommer att välkomna utan även kräva de totalitära lösningar som vi kommer att erbjudas. Folket kommer att gå med på ALLT för att livet skall återgå till som det var förut, vilket är en omöjlighet. Men genom att gå med på alla dessa ‘lösningar’ från De Styrande kommer vi definitivt ge upp den lilla frihet som vi fortfarande har.

Här är artikeln från Financial Times:

Greece set for severe bail-out conditions

European leaders are negotiating a deal that would lead to unprecedented outside intervention in the Greek economy, including international involvement in tax collection and privatisation of state assets, in exchange for new bail-out loans for Athens.

People involved in the talks said the package would also include incentives for private holders of Greek debt voluntarily to extend Athens’ repayment schedule, as well as another round of austerity measures.

Officials hope that as much as half of the €60bn-€70bn ($86bn-$100bn) in new financing needed by Athens until the end of 2013 could be accounted for without new loans. Under a plan advocated by some, much of that would be covered by the sale of state assets and the change in repayment terms for private debtholders.

Eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund would then need to lend an additional €30bn-€35bn on top of the €110bn already promised as part of the bail-out programme agreed last year.

Officials warned, however, that almost every element of the new package faced significant opposition from at least one of the governments and institutions involved in the current negotiations and a deal could still unravel.

In the latest setback, the Greek government failed on Friday to win cross-party agreement on the new austerity measures, which European Union lenders have insisted is a prerequisite to another bail-out.

In addition, the European Central Bank remains opposed to any restructuring of Greek debt that could be considered a “credit event” – a change in terms that could technically be ruled a default.

One senior European official involved in the talks, however, said ECB objections could be overcome if the rescheduling was structured properly.

Despite the hurdles, pressure is building to have a deal done within three weeks because of an IMF threat to withhold its portion of June’s €12bn bail-out payment unless Athens can show it can meet all its financing requirements for the next 12 months.

Officials think Greece will be unable to return to the financial markets to raise money on its own in March – as originally planned in the current €110bn package – meaning that the IMF is now forbidden from distributing any additional cash. Without the IMF funds, eurozone governments would either be forced to fill the gap or Athens could default.

To bring the IMF back in, the new deal must be reached by a scheduled meeting of EU finance ministers on June 20.

Några kloka ord om guld från Jim Rickards

May 29th, 2011 3 comments

Fann följande ord om guld från Jim Rickards intressanta, framförallt hans svar på Buffets ständigt återkommande argument (propaganda) att guld inte ger någon avkastning. Spot on!

- I’ve spent years, read thousands of pages and met folks on five continents to study gold. Conclusion: Only, like 3 people really “get it”

- Here’s the deal. Gold is not an investment. It is not a commodity. It is not even a speculation. It is money; that’s all.

- Buffett says gold has no yield. Right, but it’s not supposed to. Only investments have yield. But if you don’t have gold, you have no money

Fed subventionerade storbankerna genom hemligt låneprogram

May 27th, 2011 4 comments

Vi har otaliga gånger långt i efterhand fått reda på hur illa det verkligen stod till med det finansiella systemet i samband med kollapsen hösten 2008. Vår egen finansminister har ju som bekant vittnat om hur nära det var att flera av våra storbanken höll på att gå under samtidigt som man höll god min utåt för att lugna fårskocken.

Vi har också fått flera exempel på hur De Styrande inte bara pumpade in nya färska krediter i systemet men också hur man kom på finurliga sätt att skapa en förtäckt räddning och låta skattebetalarna stå för notan. Det bästa exemplet är helt klart AIG, där storbankerna fick 100% utdelning på sina spekulativa derivatpositioner.

Via ZeroHedge kan vi nu inte oväntat också läsa att Federal Reserve hade ett hemligt stödprogram mellan mars och december 2008 där man lät storbankerna (dvs Feds aktieägare) låna pengar till en så låg ränta som 0,01% samtidigt som den officiella utlåningsräntan låg på 0,5%. Som ZH påpekar så kan man fråga sig hur nära en implosion vi var om 0,5% bedömdes som för hög ränta. Man kan även fråga sig hur många fler hemliga räddningsprogram som var subventionerade av skattebetalarna som kommer att dyka upp.

De Styrande kommer knappast att tillåta att deras storbanker går omkull eller att de på något sätt tappar kontrollen över det finansiella systemet i samband med att QE2 slutar i juni. Därför är de inte osannolikt att vi i framtiden kommer att kunna läsa om liknande hemliga tilltag ifall Bernanke skulle tvingas fördröja introduktionen av QE3. Det är lätt att ryckas med av alla lögner och den smörja som skrivs i massmedia (över 80% av alla ‘experter’ är t ex överens om att det inte blir något QE3) , men det gäller sam alltid att fokusera på ‘the big picture’. Det finansiella systemet i nuvarande form är nu omöjligt att rädda. Det enda man kan göra är att köpa tid och fördröja den oundvikliga nollställningen.

Här är ett utdrag från ZeroHedge:

The Fed does it again. Following consistent allegations that the Federal Reserve operates in an opaque world, whose each and every action has only had a purpose of serving its Wall Street masters, led to repeated lawsuits which went so far as to get the Chairsatan to promise he would be more transparent, Bloomberg’s Bob Ivry breaks news that between March and December 2008 the Fed operated a previously undisclosed lending program, whose terms were nothing short of a subsidy to banks.

Says Ivry: “The $80 billion initiative, called single-tranche open- market operations, or ST OMO, made 28-day loans from March through December 2008, a period in which confidence in global credit markets collapsed after the Sept. 15 bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. Units of 20 banks were required to bid at auctions for the cash. They paid interest rates as low as 0.01 percent that December, when the Fed’s main lending facility charged 0.5 percent.”

0.01% interest is also known by one other name: “outright subsidy.” It doesn’t get any freer than that: 0.01% interest on one month cash. Just how close to a complete implosion was the financial system if 0.5% interest seemed too high?

Not surprisingly, this program was widely used: “Credit Suisse Group AG, Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc each borrowed at least $30 billion in 2008 from a Federal Reserve emergency lending program whose details weren’t revealed to shareholders, members of Congress or the public…Goldman Sachs, led by Chief Executive Officer Lloyd C. Blankfein, tapped the program most in December 2008, when data on the New York Fed website show the loans were least expensive. The lowest winning bid at an ST OMO auction declined to 0.01 percent on Dec. 30, 2008, New York Fed data show. At the time, the rate charged at the discount window was 0.5 percent.”

Yes, that Goldman Sachs. The same one that perjured itself when it said before the FCIC that it only used de minimis emergency borrowings. Just how many more top secret taxpayer subsidies will emerge were being used by the Fed to keep the kleptocratic status quo in charge?

So there it is again: a secret bailout program used to “rape” the peasantry by the entitled kleptocrats, which nobody thought would be exposed, and would allow those in control to lie blatantly to Congress. But have no fear: the wheels of justice are turning: instead of having those who rape millions under house arrest, we get the spectacle of those who allegedly rape one. The former, after all, are just a statistic.

And how long before the peasantry just snaps from the barage of endless lies?

Vitryssland visar vägen för Grekland

May 26th, 2011 4 comments

När Vitryssland tidigare i veckan devalverade sin valuta med hela 56% över en natt så var det föga överraskande inte många i landet som jublade. Undantaget var de få invånare som köpt guld då de precis som vi kunde se hur det keynesianska experimentet, inte bara i det egna landet utan i resten av världen, förr eller senare var dömt att misslyckas.

De naturliga konsekvenserna av en sådan devalvering har inte låtit vänta på sig utan rapporter har redan visat på skenande inflation på många varor i landet.

Precis som för Grekland förs diskussioner om utförsäljningar av statstillgångar för att få ordning på läget, men lika lite som det är lösningen på Greklands problem så kommer det att lösa några problem i Vitryssland varför befolkningen gör rätt i att göra motstånd. Noterade ni förresten att EU tidigare i veckan godkände användandet av guld som säkerhet vid utlåning, vilket ger en tydlig signal om hur intresserade man är av att konfiskera Greklands guldreserv. Det är också en tydlig signal om guldets verkliga (och framtida) värde i det kommande finansiella systemet, som vi talat om så många gånger tidigare.

‘Experter’ kommer givetvis få utrymme i massmedia att vifta bort utvecklingen i Vitryssland som icke relevant, men faktum är att vad som nu utspelar sig i landet kan vara en försmak på vad som väntar Grekland. Vi har sett hur lite vi kan lita på dessa experter, varför det är viktigt att göra sin egen analys och mer eller mindre bortse från vad de har att säga.

Här är ett intressant inlägg från ZeroHedge om utvecklingen i Vitryssland som jag varmt rekommenderar.

Som ytterligare en påminnelse om hur allvarlig situationen i Grekland är, vad sägs om följande uttalande från den Grekiska EU-kommissionären Maria Maria Damanaki (via Reuters):

– EU Commissioner Damanaki says Greece’s Eurozone membership is at risk
– EU Commissioner Damanaki says Greece must agree on tough measures or return to Drachma, according to state news agency

Här är mer information via The Telegraph.

Lögnare och bedragare

May 24th, 2011 1 comment

ZeroHedge har publicerat en sammanställning över vad man kallar tyska bedragare som med all sannolikhet mycket väl kände till de gigantiska riskerna med att investera i grekiska statspapper men som trots allt gick ut och rekommenderade dessa till allmänheten i maj 2010. Låt detta bli ännu en i raden av varningar om att man inte skall lyssna på vad sk ‘experter’ har att säga eftersom de är beredda att göra allt för att hjälpa till med att hålla skenet uppe.

Här är några av de positiva kommentarerna om grekiska statspapper:

A stabilization can only be achieved if Greece can access capital markets. What is needed is a contribution of major banks. What is also needed is a sign of trust by the citizens of Europe. This is the purpose of our action call “I am buying Greek government bonds”. Last Friday, as a sign of responsibility, I have ordered EUR 5,000 Greek government bonds.” – Gabor Steingart, chefredaktör, Handelsblatt

For the first time in my life I am buying government bonds – Greek government bonds! Because we have to keep the Euro-zone together. The Greek population has to bring great sacrifices, there is no way around that. But we should show our solidarity.” – Hans Eichel, fd finansminsiter Tyskland

En herre som man definitivt inte skall lyssna på är Luxemburgs premiärminister och mästerlögnare Jean Claude Juncker, som de de flesta nog känner till vid det här laget. Om inte så är här ett underbart inlägg, igen via ZH, som plockat upp en intervju som Der Spiegel gjort med Juncker.

Här är ett utdrag:

SPIEGEL: Mr. Prime Minister, you are a Christian Democrat and a Catholic, which is why we want to talk to you about the Ten Commandments.

Juncker: I already have an idea of what you are getting at.

SPIEGEL: Are you familiar with the Eighth Commandment?

Juncker: Of course. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

SPIEGEL: Apparently you don’t take it very seriously. More than two weeks ago, you denied a report by SPIEGEL ONLINE about a secret meeting of several European Union finance ministers to discuss the situation in Greece, even though the official limousines were already pulling up in Luxembourg.

Juncker: The most important commandment is not to inflict harm on others. Although it isn’t stated quite that way in the Ten Commandments, it follows from them. The finance ministers of several Euro Group nations had agreed to meet on Friday with the president of the European Central Bank (ECB), Jean-Claude Trichet. Because the financial markets in Europe were still open and trading was still underway on Wall Street, we had to deny the existence of the meeting. Otherwise the course of the euro against the dollar, which had already fallen as a result of your report, would have plunged disastrously.

SPIEGEL: When secret meetings are held and the truth isn’t always being told, people gain the impression that there must be something wrong with this Europe.

Juncker: People understand perfectly well that politicians have to discuss sensitive issues behind closed doors. I had 10 seconds to decide how to react to the report in SPIEGEL ONLINE. Let us say, hypothetically, that I had said: “Okay, we are having a meeting, but I’m not going to tell you what we intend to talk about.” That would have triggered a tsunami in the financial markets. Instead, I chose to produce a small wave of outrage over a white lie.

Dagens graf: Kina största köpare av guld

May 23rd, 2011 2 comments

[Chinagold]

I förra veckan framkom det att Kina gått om Indien och nu är största köpare av guld.

Den kinesiska guldaptiten tycks bara fortsätta att öka. Nyligen framkom det att Comex får konkurrens från Hong Kong Mercentile Exchange och idag kommer nyheten om att Shanghai Gold Exchange planerar att utmana bl a GLD genom att introducera guld ETF:er. Bara glöm allt snack om att guld är en bubbla.

Vad som händer när Grekland defaultar

May 22nd, 2011 6 comments

Många har frågat sig om vi överhuvud taget kommer att påverkas av att Grekland defaultar på sin statsskuld. Följande artikel från The Telegraph målar upp ett mycket tänkbart scenario för vad som kommer att hända NÄR, inte om, Grekland defaultar innan räddningspengarna tar slut om drygt ett år. Globaliseringen har gjort att det räcker med en nation som Grekland för att utlösa en dominoeffekt som kan (kommer) ta ner hela det finansiella systemet.

Det är därför inte svårt att förstå varför Jim Sinclair menar att vi inte behöver någon QE3 för att ta guldet långt över 2000 dollar, då centralbankerna har redan målat in sig i ett hörn med sina ‘räddningsaktioner’ istället för att rensa ut systemet. Inte konstigt att guldet steg kraftigt på fredagen efter beskedet om nedgraderingen av Grekland från Fitch med andra ord.

What happens when Greece defaults

It is when, not if. Financial markets merely aren’t sure whether it’ll be tomorrow, a month’s time, a year’s time, or two years’ time (it won’t be longer than that). Given that the ECB has played the “final card” it employed to force a bailout upon the Irish – threatening to bankrupt the country’s banking sector – presumably we will now see either another Greek bailout or default within days.

What happens when Greece defaults. Here are a few things:

- Every bank in Greece will instantly go insolvent.

- The Greek government will nationalise every bank in Greece.

- The Greek government will forbid withdrawals from Greek banks.

- To prevent Greek depositors from rioting on the streets, Argentina-2002-style (when the Argentinian president had to flee by helicopter from the roof of the presidential palace to evade a mob of such depositors), the Greek government will declare a curfew, perhaps even general martial law.

- Greece will redenominate all its debts into “New Drachmas” or whatever it calls the new currency (this is a classic ploy of countries defaulting)

- The New Drachma will devalue by some 30-70 per cent (probably around 50 per cent, though perhaps more), effectively defaulting 0n 50 per cent or more of all Greek euro-denominated debts.

- The Irish will, within a few days, walk away from the debts of its banking system.

- The Portuguese government will wait to see whether there is chaos in Greece before deciding whether to default in turn.

- A number of French and German banks will make sufficient losses that they no longer meet regulatory capital adequacy requirements.

- The European Central Bank will become insolvent, given its very high exposure to Greek government debt, and to Greek banking sector and Irish banking sector debt.

- The French and German governments will meet to decide whether (a) to recapitalise the ECB, or (b) to allow the ECB to print money to restore its solvency. (Because the ECB has relatively little foreign currency-denominated exposure, it could in principle print its way out, but this is forbidden by its founding charter.  On the other hand, the EU Treaty explicitly, and in terms, forbids the form of bailouts used for Greece, Portugal and Ireland, but a little thing like their being blatantly illegal hasn’t prevented that from happening, so it’s not intrinsically obvious that its being illegal for the ECB to print its way out will prove much of a hurdle.)

- They will recapitalise, and recapitalise their own banks, but declare an end to all bailouts.

- There will be carnage in the market for Spanish banking sector bonds, as bondholders anticipate imposed debt-equity swaps.

- This assumption will prove justified, as the Spaniards choose to over-ride the structure of current bond contracts in the Spanish banking sector, recapitalising a number of banks via debt-equity swaps.

- Bondholders will take the Spanish Banking Sector to the European Court of Human Rights (and probably other courts, also), claiming violations of property rights. These cases won’t be heard for years. By the time they are finally heard, no-one will care.

- Attention will turn to the British banks. Then we shall see…
