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

Do it like the USA!

globinfo freexchange

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.

Operation Mindfuck: The origins of the Illuminati conspiracy fraud and how it became popular in our times

From the new documentary Can 't Get You Out of My Head by Adam Curtis globinfo freexchange The first settlers had come from Europe to America to flee from the corruption of power in the Old World. But although they had got away from the old power, they hadn't got away from their suspicious minds, and alone, out in the vast wilderness of the new America, that led them to imagining dark, hidden conspiracies in their own government, far away in Washington. One of the first of these, in the early 19th century, said that a secret group from Europe, called the Bavarian Illuminati, were running a giant conspiracy in America to destroy the new democracy. In reality, the Illuminati had been a utopian movement who wanted to replace religion with reason. But instead, they now became the first of a series of frightening suspicions that fed off the isolation of the settlers in the New World. One night (in 1958, somewhere in the vicinity of Whittier, Califo...

US Warships Under Fire: Iran Hits Back & Blasts UAE

MintPress News "PROJECT FREEDOM." Trump calls it humanitarian aid. We call it what he already admitted it is: piracy. On Friday, Trump boasted that US forces seizing Iranian ships and oil were "sort of like pirates, but we are not playing games." By Sunday, he had rebranded the blockade as "Project Freedom"—a military escort operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Today, that operation went live: 15,000 US troops, guided-missile destroyers, and over 100 aircraft are enforcing American "freedom" at gunpoint. Let's be clear: Washington didn't enter the Strait to defend commerce. It entered to monopolize commerce—to maintain imperial control over the world's oil arteries and strangle Iran's economy. Iran knows this. That's why closing the Strait and establishing its own transit protocols remains its strongest card in the fight for self-determination. When Trump confessed to piracy, he wasn't joking. He was c...

Russia & China Now OPENLY Backing Iran!

The Jimmy Dore Show

“Russia & China Preparing For War With The US!”

The Jimmy Dore Show Colonel Douglas Macgregor explains that as a result of recent military conflicts, Russia, China, and Iran have become allies, and that Beijing and Moscow have concluded that "if we let Iran fail, we're next on the menu" from what he describes as a "rogue state led by a rogue personality," meaning they will intervene to prevent Iran's collapse if the US threatens it. He tells Jimmy Dore that Putin called Trump for an hour and a half to make it clear that a military campaign in Iran would not succeed and would make the situation much worse, offering to store Iran's enriched uranium as a diplomatic gesture. Macgregor warns that if the US restarts the war, China could send 40 or 50 surface combatants and submarines to the Indian Ocean, and Russia could fly MiG-31s into Iranian airspace — not to provoke a direct confrontation but to "make a point." He concludes that the British Empire overreached and overextended with World War...

How Western societies lost their faith in Vision

Why people don't rise up massively today? Why there are no real revolutions? How we tolerate all things that have been imposed to us? These questions come up in people's minds more and more often today in Greece and abroad, due to the economic crisis. Some theories are circulated as an answer, among these, explanations which include, for example, the psychosynthesis of modern Greeks, but the truth is that there is something more fundamental behind this passive behaviour and concerns not only Greece, but the entire Western world. by system failure Prior to the beginning of the 20th century, Friedrich Nietzsche declares God's death and Western world will put all its hopes in science. Laplace's Determinism leads to the almighty man, who through science, can find all the answers for the world. Technology, which naturally comes from scientific discoveries, promises prosperity and a better life for the majority. Science becomes the central "pylon...

Iranian Women Resist Invasion, Hospitals Targeted & Petrodollar Collapse

MintPress News MintPress News founder Mnar Adley, this essential interview with University of Tehran professor Dr. Setareh Sadeghi reveals the devastating reality of US-Israeli aggression against Iran that corporate media refuses to report. With over 307 medical facilities destroyed in one month, schools bombed, and universities targeted, Iran faces what officials describe as a genocidal campaign. Dr. Sadeghi exposes: • How BBC journalists calling for Iran to be "nuked" are tied to CIA-backed regime change networks • Why Iranian women are leading mass rallies in defense of their nation—not against it • The collapse of Western propaganda as independent Iranian creators go viral worldwide • How Iran's regulation of the Strait of Hormuz is accelerating the petrodollar's decline • UAE's covert complicity in war crimes while positioning itself as a neutral party • Why Russia and China are aligning with Iran against unipolar imperial domination As Trump threatens to ...

Stephen Hawking confirms: The problem is Capitalism, not robots!

globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...

Iran’s Secret Weapon: The Undersea Cables That Could Shake the Global Economy

GVS Deep Dive Iran’s pressure over the Strait of Hormuz may no longer be limited to oil tankers, naval routes, and energy prices. New reports suggest Tehran is considering control over undersea internet cables passing through Hormuz, potentially requiring permits, fees, Iranian law, and Iranian companies for repair and maintenance. This video breaks down why the Strait of Hormuz is not only an oil chokepoint, but also a digital chokepoint connecting Europe, the Gulf, and Asia. Beneath the waters that carry global energy flows are fiber-optic cables carrying banking data, cloud services, AI traffic, telecom networks, financial messaging, and e-commerce. If Iran turns Hormuz into a digital leverage point, the consequences could reach far beyond the Gulf.

Why the US pressured the UAE to leave OPEC: Big Oil corporations benefit

Geopolitical Economy Report OPEC, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, is in crisis after the United Arab Emirates (UAE), its third-largest producer, left the group. Donald Trump openly praised the decision, saying it is good for the United States. Ben Norton explains why the US government opposes OPEC, which is rooted in the Third World nationalist movements of the 1960s, which sought more economic resources for the Global South. The USA wants its Big Oil corporations to dominate the industry.
