Chris Whalen: New Bank Bailouts Under Dodd-Frank For Bank Of America, Wells Fargo Within 12 Months (VIDEO)
Editor's Note: A look back at one of the best Whalen clips of 2010.
---
Video: Chris Whalen - AEI - Nov. 9, 2010
- "2011 will be a year of massive pain and restructuring for big banks."
Brand new. No other sites have found or posted this one. Another first for DB readers. Best clip I've seen this week. Runs just 3 minutes. Huge government restructuring and intervention is on the way. Next year will be a killer.
- "Foreclosures are going to overwhelm Bank of America and Wells Fargo."
You will hear that Lehman's estate owns Whalen's mortgage and they can't legally foreclose. Not due to the Lehman bankruptcy, instead because they never changed the record 7 years ago when they purchased the loan from Bank of New York.

This is a great clip...that everyone needs to see...
I put my condo up for sale about a month back. Now I'm reconsidering that decision.
In my bankster system takedown fantasy, I stop making mortgage payments right away. The TARP servicer will come after me sooner rather than later because there is considerable equity there (for now at least). When that happens, I sue the servicer in federal court (diversity jurisdiction) for fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress--the whole kitchen sink, including a declaratory judgment that the servicer does not have the promissory note. Now the only thing I owe are taxes and assessments.

i won't vouch for all of it but it gives some good background...
I have stated before that all expansions and contractions are controlled, the depression was used to wipe out non FED controlled banks and buy up real assets at pennies on the dollar. As well as get rid of that pesky gold thing...

This money will be added to the Federal Reserve’s plan to increase government and mortgage linked bond purchases by $500 billion to $1.5 trillion (QE2). Fed purchases to date already exceed $1.5 trillion so this move may double its money printing efforts.
I wish that this site had a spreadsheet that tracked all of the big numbers. I have suggested this many times to DB and his partner to no avail.
I found this by CNN…

These figures are as of Nov 2009 so who knows?
To not have the important numbers is like auditing Coca Cola without getting to look at the balance sheet and income statement.
Do you know where I could find a site that does track the numbers? Thanks.
BERLIN (AFP) – Germany's attempt to create a multi-cultural society has failed completely, Chancellor Angela Merkel said at the weekend, calling on the country's immigrants to learn German and adopt Christian values.

Many other countries in Europe have already learned this difficult lesson such as Denmark, Italy and France. Yes, they have been slow to realize their mistake. There is a reason why nations formed, there is a reason why they are so important. The liberal socialist elites don’t respect tradition and don’t value borders. They are so fucking stupid that they think they can combine socialism with nationalism and made Disney World. Germany knows why it is dangerous to combine the two.
Denmark is boosting cash incentives to entice immigrants to return to their homelands if they 'can't or won't' assimilate into society.
The offer now on the table is close to £12,000 for every person who takes up the offer to leave.

i didn't know that. something to look out for.
Completely agree. I was so pissed off in 10/08 about the bailout... well, I did some things out of emotion that weren't smart, like not file income tax returns. But I've since come to my senses... and am still mega pissed. That said, however, I expect the same bs to persist until it can't anymore, which, as I envision it, involves the complete collapse of the U.S. dollar.
Gomp, I don't know about you, but I don't think there is any gold left in Ft. Knox or NYC or in any official U.S. location. Not any metal that doesn't have claims on it, at least. What the last two years has revealed is that bankers lie about everything. Why would they be telling the truth about the only real money in the world? Answer: they wouldn't, and they aren't.
DB--lemme know when Whalen will be in Terre Haute next. I'm within striking distance from there and would like to see. Also, my paternal grandfather lived there for decades and I'd like to see it again. Thanks in advance.
That is the key.
Although there were alternatives to TARP available in 2008 and 2009 (Whalen has explained some of these ad nauseum), the Dodd-Frank provides a "TARP Alternative For Dummies" option that even people like Bair and Geithner can be expected to understand. But FDIC receivership under the new "resolution authority" is optional. There are some decent provisions against taxpayer losses if it comes to that (the bill implicitly recognizes that FDIC would need to borrow tons of cash from the Treasury if a TBTF bank were to be resolved), but is it really credible that Geithner or any other Treasury Secretary would actually allow a TBTF get to the point where it had to go through resolution? I don't think it is.
The same situation maintains today as we had in 2008 -- large, interconnected banks, with tons of CDS exposure. That scared the crap out of the regulators in 2008. Can we really expect them to not be scared next time?
And who really believes that new "TARP" legislation, repealing certain provisions in the Dodd-Frank re creditor losses, couldn't be rushed through congress in a moment's notice? In 2008, and especially in early 2009, resolving the zombie banks was a matter of will power, not legal authority. Consider AIG for just a moment if you don't think Goldman Sachs or Citi or whoever couldn't have been wound down. The Fed just made up a lending facility for AIG in September 2008 and it started borrowing billions the very next day. One way or another, politicians will always choose rescue over resolution. They are free, of course, to prove me wrong.
Those are my thoughts, - what say you..??
All this from the man who said "Alinsky's Rules for Radicals is the new Republican Bible". Did you back any pro choice, gun banning "in the name of responsible gun laws", cross dressing, "Bankers choice" candidates on super Tuesday this year?
Your views are still way to left for most of us, but Happy New Years just the same.

Ever ask yourself how three liberals rose to the top of the 2008 Republican primaries?
Damn Gobie, multiple name changes in a few weeks, and you still are getting bumped for being a dumb ass. I will give you a hint, it is not the names you are using, it is just you being a moron that gets you booted.
How's that hopey changey workin' for ya?
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Happy New Year you Crazy Fun Libs!!!
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,

Gomp...Tell the dungeon master to grow a pair and then we can chat again.
