A test for the next banking crisis: Eurozone TBTFs to eliminate competitors!

Do it like the USA!

According to latest information, the US tax authorities have declared in a secret workshop of representatives of the EU, how to close a bank overnight, if it is broke. Before the announcement of the ECB stress tests, nervousness increases in the EU and the Member States: Apparently, several banks from the ECB's perspective will not be able to survive. If they can not be transferred quickly to a competitor, there will be threatening bank runs.

Between representatives of the EU and the United States Deposit Insurance Fund, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) are practiced secret bank closures overnight. The United States had handled more than 500 banks during the financial crisis. Close to an ailing bank is almost a 'cloak and dagger operation', because this must be done within a very short time.

From November, the ECB will take over the banking supervision. For this purpose, a unified processing mechanism is established, which includes a process for closure of banks in the euro zone.

In the stress test of the ECB, allegedly 25 banks have not been able to meet the capital requirements of the ECB. That's amazing: Because the stress test has been applied rather harmless and certain risks were not considered.

The technical "assistance" by the US authorities is not accidental, as they have good experience in closing competitors and make Too Big To Fail (TBTF) monsters ... even bigger! According to chapter 20 conclusions of the US Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission: “As a result of the rescues and consolidation of financial institutions through failures and mergers during the crisis, the U.S. financial sector is now more concentrated than ever in the hands of a few very large, systemically significant institutions.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/11/official-financial-crises-favor-banking.html)

TBTFs secure their dominance through ECB's increased power, started two years ago: http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2012/09/lea-jacta-est-by-emperor-draghi.html But also, decisions like the one concerning “bail ins”, could be turned to a useful tool for TBTFs according to various scenarios: http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2013/07/why-banksters-laugh-with-recent-ecofins.html

Furthermore, banksters promote additional financial deregulation on both sides of the Atlantic, using also TTIP agreement: "... the EU suggests a number of mechanisms that will both scale back existing regulation, and prevent future regulation that might contradict the interests of financial corporations from both sides of the Atlantic. The leak follows news that EU negotiators have increased political pressure on the US to accept negotiations on 'financial regulatory cooperation', which the US negotiators have so far refused.” (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2014/07/leaked-banksters-promote-further.html)

Obviously, the TBTF banks strengthen further their position inside the eurozone, also with the help of the ECB this time. These "tests" are clearly focused on how they could eliminate competitors in a potential general banking crisis inside the eurozone.

Norman Finkelstein & Jeremy Corbyn: THE INTERVIEW ISRAEL WANT TO BAN

Double Down News In a powerful and deeply personal conversation, political scientist Dr. Norman Finkelstein sits down with MP and former UK Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn to analyse the ongoing crisis in Gaza, Western diplomatic inaction, and the media's framing of the conflict. From evaluating ICJ proceedings to dismantling mainstream media "gatekeeper" tactics, Finkelstein and Corbyn provide an unsparing critique of current geopolitical realities and explain why Gaza has become a defining moral touchstone for a new generation. Beyond foreign policy, the pair explore the broader societal shifts shaping world politics today. Drawing on four decades of political activism, they compare today's student movement to historical anti-Apartheid and anti-Vietnam War struggles, while examining the decline of social mobility, the commercialisation of higher education, and the impact of digital media on critical thinking and long-term political engagement.

Ben Gvir, Smotrich TRAPPED In Britain? Israel in PANIC after UK STUNS World

OPTM The United Kingdom has just dropped a political bombshell that has sent shockwaves through the occupation regime. In an unprecedented move, Britain—alongside France, Canada, and nine other nations—has banned all trade in goods produced in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank. Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband accused settler terrorists of carrying out ethnic cleansing, declaring that the UK would ban imports of all settlement goods and restrict services including financing and construction. The reaction from the occupation's far-right ministers has been nothing short of hysterical. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich called for the immediate expulsion of the British ambassador, while National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir—in a fit of delusional whataboutism—demanded that the occupation government recognize Argentine sovereignty over the Falkland Islands and impose sanctions on Britain. Ben Gvir and Smotrich are trapped, and they know it. This is the colonial master fina...
