As with most things these days, it was a controlled demolition, a take down. SVB had vulnerabilities - they catered to the Silicon Valley tech startup world that boomed during the plandemic when everyone went online. Their customer deposits exploded. Interest rates were extremely low. To get some income they invested the deposits safely in long term US government bonds. As the Fed raised interest rates, the value of these bonds fell and their customers needed cash as the economy cooled. Banks only carry a fraction of their customer deposits in cash. As their customers made withdrawals, they had to sell some of the bonds at a loss, but they weren't in any financial distress. Then JP Morgan, Blackrock, and all of the deep state financial players told all of their customers to close their SVB accounts. Of course, as would be true for any bank in the world, they didn't have the cash to cover such huge withdrawals and before they could arrange loans, the Fed closed them down and took them over.

They could do this to any bank at any time, like they did to SVB and Lehman, or they could paper over the problem. As always it is up to them. They clearly are for the time being working to crash the system. To do this and retain credibility so as to be able to provide the solution, central bank digital currencies, is tricky and requires careful rollout of disasters and timing.

If the media hypes up the fear and the Fed doesn't support the banks, as they've done since the last crash, then it could get ugly. To repeat once again, it is up to them. They have created every crash just as they have created every boom. To give advice is to know their game plan. To trust that the Fed and the Gov't aren't working toward us "owning nothing and being happy" is being blind, deaf, and dumb.

Absolutely agree. They are ushering in the digital currency control matrix for everyone. Hubby says keep an eye out on what will be happening overseas too. It will everywhere, all at once, just like the covid control matrix.

Maybe not. Luongo says Powell is dead set against retail cbdc. There's a reasonable chance they will let VCs go down & bail out the little people banks. Also, apparently they prepared for fallout up front:

Luongo is a smart guy, true. But Powell is no more the head of the Fed than Biden is the President of the US. They are not billionaires. They do as they are told by billionaires. Who cares what they say or what they are for or against? Personally, I am a student of what people do, not what they say or what they profess to care about. Barack Obama is a case study of this truth. In the entire 8 years of his administration, what piece of legislation did he fight the hardest to pass? Was it for the principles that he told us he was going to uphold? No, he fought with every tool at his disposal to pass the TPP, the Trans Pacific Partnership, which would give corporations the legal authority to override sovereign nation's laws if among other things, any law passed were to reduce their profits, because as you know, corporations have a divine right to only have profits grow even if they exercise poor business judgment. LOL!

Powell's bosses know that CBDCs mean their grift is over. No need for commercial or retail banks if government/UN/wef/WHO decide who to give what "money" to.

It’s all educated guesses on my part. Like so much nowadays there’s a haze of official confusion and chatter around events.

I just follow a couple financial analysts that don't lose their shit in every crisis. Charles Hugh Smith is another one.

People are pushing fear like crazy. A few days ago Kim dot.com was tweeting the he sees what's coming & get out of the US & as far south in southern hemisphere as you can asap. Today he's tweeting get your money out of banks today. 🙄 Doubtless he wants a collapse so he can buy up a chunk of the world on the cheap.

I just read a ridiculous article in WaPo suggesting in title that

at complete bailouts are a done deal.

The rationales was that if they don't, people might move their $$ to safer banks!!!! Oh the horror if we make risk-takers lose. They might learn something, God forbid!!!

Only halfway through did they mention the necessary approvals: 2/3s of fed, Quidpro, & I forget who else, probably congress. And that they are looking for a buyer right now, & that is the 1st & best option.

And like that, (Luongo) & I are in wrong & it's a done deal. Fed folded & it's over. A complete bailout of SVP A some small NY bank.

This became apparent in 2019: the collapse of the financial system via debt. 2007/8 was the first attack and we can expect hyperinflation to follow. This will finish off most of the population's retirement and overall assets.

Whether this bank begins the process is beside the point. This was the entire purpose of Operation COVID to provide cover for this collapse, while actually perpetuating it.

Just one of many operations working to dissolve the dollar and concentrate wealth into the hands of the few. You'll lose everything and the way forward is CBDC

Forbes is giving Cramer major competition in the stupid recommendations department. Their "30 under 30" feature unerringly named all of the recent big fraudsters as heroes.

Also Forbes was big on Elizabeth Holmes and I believe outright lied about Kylie Jenner being a "Billionaire." Gimme a break, Forbes. I cancelled my subscription quite a while ago.

SVB lost control of it’s fiduciary duty to shareholders--returns. It went full frontal into the twisted “diversity, equity, inclusion” bs. Revisit Old Yeller’s recent Ukraine visit where Mz. Janet’s speech was about abortion, equity (not of the financial kind) & climate change. Bizarre. SVB loaned start up money, one another tech co. with an office in Kyiv. This was not an implosion but a takedown--the billionaire banksters like Dimon will grab the startups. In the meantime, let loose the bots to create panic on main street & get the people to beg the govt to save them, including “vax me”! Vax me!

As always, look to history. The great mind behind our Constitution’s “ gold & silver clause” - Article 1, Section 10 , said “ Gentlemen. This clause shall forever crush paper money.” It only took until 1913 for America to succumb to “ fake, manipulated News” to allow in the Federal Reserve Act- grossly unConstitutional on its face. Such is Life. Yuppies will learn ... again, that you CANNOT run gold or silver Coin off a printing press.

Mike Montagne had been warning us for decades now that any purported economy subject to interest ultimately terminates itself under insoluble sums of debt.

The computer models he provided the ‘84 Reagan administration projected the 2008 meltdown, as well as this, the final collapse.

And here we are.

The FDIC doesn't have enough money to cover this. Remember, we are $31TRILLION+ in debt. This where Obama's bank "bail-ins" will occur.

Expand full comment

Possible. I did see a vid of I think the fed board discussing bail-ins as a mean to send a message, from some time before current events. I think a few months ago ...

Yes, this is exactly why Obama passed Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Act in 2010, after the 2008 "Too big to Fail" fiasco, where the evildoers came out smelling like roses with the federal (taxpayer) bailout money. And NO ONE went to jail over that! Next time (now), the Feds won't bail them out, they'll just take the customer's money and it's perfectly "legal".

Also, 85% of SVB is not covered by the FDIC.

Also, when push comes to shove, what's another few trillion in debt on top of 31. Either way, your bankrupt ...

Perhaps, a Central Bank Digital Currency is "needed" to "stabilize" this "bank crisis?" Will US citizens soon be offered same "options" (CBDC implementation plan A or CBDC implementation plan B) the Bank of England is "proposing" to Brits?

Looks like Old Yeller has come out and made some TV appearances in an effort to let "us" know that "they" are on top of things.

The gold market will open tonight at 6pm. The link below is an easy way to follow gold's reaction for those interested in such things. If there is world wide stress it will show up in gold's price tonight I would imagine. If the move is not significant then that will likely be a good sign IMHO.

"Embracing a broader woke agenda that ESCHEWS UNDERWRITING PURELY BASED ON BUSINESS FUNDAMENTALS, a 16 page Jan '22 DEI brochure touted a SVB program "focused on increasing representation and funding for women, Black and Latinx founders, investors and. professionals in the innovation industry".

There it is , folks.

A bank lending based on identity politics not on whether that business has any basic financial business plan in place.

This is the planned economic take down so many warned about. It is all to induce fear so they can ram in CBDC. I am not afraid and that is my best advice. Do not let fear cloud your better judgement. We moved our money out of a bank a year ago and we keep just enough to cover bills in an account in a credit union. So I do believe people should get their money out while they can. It is safer under your pillow than in a bank. This is the advice I followed a year ago.
