But, not enought agreement if it is still thought that somehow one party or the other is not a puppet to the fed and it's agents of which, goldman was their first born.

jim, it doesn't look as if anyone will be held accountable for any part of the fiasco...

Bankruptcy, and the ripple effect would have been preferable, and because of the massive nature of this, immediate and emergency action could have been taken to unwind, not paying 100% on the dollar for all claims. Lots of people were using CDS's to win a bet on Lehman going down, and that information has never been published--i bet there is plenty of scandal to be know if anyone were to find out who owned all the Lehman CDS's. L.Blankfein, when asked by a congressional panel if GS benefited from lehman and subsequent AIG bailout by the government, he said that it didn't help GS either way because they were protected...and the Washington post reported that the AIGFP division only had to pay out a net of about 4billion because of all the hedging that this division did to settle the lehman cds's...does that sound true to anyone? And so, why do they need 185Billion?

Wouldn't it be awesome if Oliver Stone was a regular and he got motivated to hurry up and make a movie about the biggest heist ever know to man pulled off by the Fed and their agents called something like "the bailout--and other lies" -there would be no need to dramatize ....truth is better than fiction.

Most excellent point and if only someone would look at the bets they had on for lehman going down shorts adn cds's...then look at all their affiliates and subsidiaries and total the whole thing--i bet a very big chunk, more than just 13billion, went from our government's coffers in the front door of AIG and out the back!!!

I don't care who would disagree, you know good and well that paulson knew the massive win that would be had for letting Lehman go down,...even if the win had to be paid with more press conferences telling the public that AIG was a systemic risk and to save the world, we have to save AIG....lies, lies, lies.

That would be good Bubby, but the Fed owns the president, so it will have to be that the public understands and insists on it--look what happened with TARP, the public understood yet it was passes, and yet, we the people still let it go by...this has to stop,and we all have to insist endlessly, and obsessively, that we want justice, and our country back and that starts back with revoking the 300 shares, or paying the private shareholders of the fed, the money they are due, then letting them go on with their other private business.

You know 1987, 2008, and other less terrible, but still terrible market downturns occur in October...since 1987, people start getting spooked by at least Sept.

Guess we need to keep on posting Thomas Jefferson's reminder, "When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty. "

It was very obvious to anyone who was paying attention that it was self-dealing to save AIG, instead of honest unwinding...

Additionally, for the 2-3 weeks that paulson&bernake lobbied to rob our country for their bankster friends, they could have easily told the truth--we need to unwind failed toobigtofail, so dear congress, we need authority...

instead lies for all of these months that extend into the psyche of all getting us to believe that there were no powers to save Lehman (even though they only asked for 6 billion--and two days later, AIG was given 85billion)---the bullshit is so deep it is choking the world and caused our integrity as a nation (currency) to be devalued and looked at with suspicion.

Astonishingly, it was the day that AIG bonus info came out that the long awaited AIG counterparty list was released (sure that was a coincidence) and noone seems to care about the obvious 13billion that flowed out the back door of AIG to GS...only that there was 165million in bonuses...the country understands bonuses, but they cannot fathom the magnitude of the scandal and thievery that is taken place under our noses and all in the name of saving the world.

I am sorry to report that i never did this, but someone out there, if you are more familiar with the counterparty list, and the list of all GS affiliates and subsidiaries... i keep wondering what the total on that list for allof the GS affiliates and subsidiaries on the AIG counterparty list, i wonder if the total isnt more than 13B?

It was clear that both MS and GS were going down in Sept--but by letting Lehman go down, all the affiliates and subsidiaries of MS and GS won the Lehman bet which had to tide them over to the secret Sat meeting that would occur in October if the lobbying by hank and ben worked....why couldn't these entities fail and be absorbed and sold off since they screwed up--why is the future of America dependent, with our last dollars, on saving the banks? Imagine if we had been honestly informed, markets had shut down for a few days, and then, honest companies that could afford to do so, could buy the valuable pieces of these companies, instead of leaving our future in the uncertain hands of debt that we may have to default on?

But, i don't think it should take a generation to unwind the Fed as Mr. Griffin suggests in the movie...we need to propose a law that IMMEDIATELY revokes all congressionally approved Fed capabilities...and that would only stop the income from flowing to the 300 shareholders--all the employees of the Fed could maintain their duties and so forth. The only difference is that it would be a HUGE savings for the value of the dollar since this sucking of 6% on 1% of reserves would stop, and stay with the treasury, and the power structure that is in place as a result of this 1.5 trillion dollar monopoly would be exposed and begin to be unwound. The bill to audit the Fed is only a slap in the face of a monster--the monster needs to be exposed, and their charter for their 96 year reign of silent rape of the US needs to be revoked.

I heard Dr. Steiglitz talk the other night, and he clearly exclaims an understanding of the scam/scandal and robbing of the US coffers that the bailout of last fall is and was, but he unfortunately talks about a global currency which is the next agenda to give the Fed adn other world bank cartels ultimate power. We need to retain our sovereignty but as long as the fed with it's monopolistic behemoth power, how can we expect our elected officials not to bow down? The House of Representatives has somewhat of a haven for non-corrupt government officials--i beg all of you, send the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform a thanks for their uncorrupt inquiry into the BAC MER scandal, but please, beseech them to not stop there, and to expose the Fed for what it is, and ask for them to revoke TARP and investigate the whole groupthink idea that we had to save the toobigtofail, adn make them bigger, while we sit back and watch them get bigger as the smaller banks around the country drop off, and know that it was always an agenda to protect the makers of the mess, strengthen them for the next round, while at the same time, enriching the 300 shareholders of the Fed for the money base increasing so dramatically adn the 6% on 1% that will stay in their operating expense hands.

Here is the link to contact the House's Committee on Oversight and Government Reform:

Excellent response Marla!

I couldn't help but thinking that the guy in the 'very, very wrong and very, very off topic film" was inspector Clouseau in a closet visit to the pickup bar with his sidekick Cato. ( But i loved Clouseau so that was a disconnect for me)

Mr. G. Edward Griffin made a great book and movie. But, the movie didn't mention anything about the 300 shares owned by private parties, and how the member banks pay the company (benefiting the 300 shareholders) 6% on every 1% of member bank reserves--imagine what a bonanza it is to have 9 trillion (that we don't know about) plus the other massive infusion that we do know about floating around and adding to that 6% dividend on the 1% of the reserves?

Anti-trust laws are more than anything, in existence to prevent the political corruption that monopolies can create-- it is such a joke everytime i hear the politicians saying we have to worry about the fed's independence---except the joke is on us because this is what the public believes to be true.

Hey Tyler,

Could you please repost the 'Paging the SEC" every day for a certain time frame, to let this record get larger yet!

Would you also consider an article that highlights the truth about the way the Federal Reserve corp functions. I heard Peter MoRico ( or was it Morici?, just a little joke) on C-Span today responding to callers and he, just like everyone in the public eye, said that the fed isn't a private organization and that the member banks own the fed but with the great job they are doing certainly there is nothing to worry about.

The Fed gets the 6 percent dividend from the member banks on all 1% of reserves as part of their operating expenses--there is no higher paid privately held corporation--and indeed this is a monopoly. With the Fed using SIV's, and the fact that they have hired an X-Enron lobbyist, wouldn't it be a good time to let the public know the framework of this organization (cartel/monopoly)

Please think about making a similar post to repost so maybe the truth can go farther than this site and maybe all of your readers will see the importance of knowing this truth. The Fed's independence isn't even an issue--the issue is do any elected officials have independence from this behemoth--and wouldn't antitrust issues apply--

Great point assumptionblindness--that was actually kind of a slip--with the memory of a conscious that he might have had as a child or what he thinks a conscious might be, it is painful to think about how far off they are from even something that resembles a force for good....
