The Post-Partisan Emporium

  EXPOSED: LONDON’S SECRETIVE “SMART STATIONS” ROLL-OUT by  winter oak The digital slave-system of the  Fourth Industrial Repression  is being imposed on us by stealth. Various aspects of the sinister technology have gradually crept in over the years under the excuse of fighting crime or terrorism or, more recently, of combating the spread of a so-called pandemic. As we saw in our  recent article  on “15 Minute Cities”, we are now being told that it is all about urban planning and making life generally more pleasant for everyone by reducing traffic congestion and pollution. Anyone who sees through this greenwashing attempt is dismissed as a paranoid fool or as a dangerous conspiracy theorist spreading fear and disinformation. And yet the whole premise of this official spin is blown out of the water by the fact that smart infrastructure (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) is being rolled out in contexts that have nothing to do with private vehicle use. We have got hold

  MARCH 13, 2023   BY SCHIFFGOLD In the wake of two bank failures, the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury announced a bank bailout program. Last week,  Silicon Valley Bank was shuttered  by federal authorities after the bank suffered significant losses selling bonds in order to raise capital. When that news hit, depositors rushed to pull funds from the bank, making it functionally insolvent. Then over the weekend, federal authorities  shut down Signature Bank . On Sunday,  the FDIC created “bridge banks” to handle both insured and uninsured customer deposits . Banking regulators assured depositors that they would have full access to all of their funds. Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve  announced a loan program  that will allow other banks to easily access capital “to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors.” The  Bank Term Funding Program  (BTFP) will offer loans of up to one year in length to banks, savings associations, credit unions, and other eli

  Silicon Valley Bank Was a Wall Street IPO Pipeline in Drag as a Federally-Insured Bank; FHLB of San Francisco Was Quietly Bailing It Out By  Pam Martens and Russ Martens  ~ If you want to genuinely understand why Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) failed and why Jerome Powell’s Fed led the effort yesterday to make sure $150 billion of the bank’s  uninsured  depositors’ money would be treated as FDIC  insured  and available today, you need to take a look at how the bank defined itself right up until it blew up on Friday. (That history is still available at the Internet Archives’ Wayback Machine  at this link . Give the page time to load.) This was a financial institution deployed to facilitate the goals of powerful venture capital and private equity operators, by financing tech and pharmaceutical startups until they could raise millions or billions of dollars in a Wall Street Initial Public Offering (IPO). The bank was also involved in managing the wealth of those startup millionaires or billi

Round 2!  If the following does happen... Absent JPMorgan, Citi or Bank of America acquiring SVB before the open on Monday, a prospect I believe to be unlikely, or the gov’t guaranteeing all of SVB’s deposits, the giant  sucking sound you will hear will be the withdrawal of substantially all uninsured deposits from all but the ‘systemically important banks’ (SIBs).  These funds will be transferred to the SIBs, US Treasury (UST) money market funds and short-term UST. There is already pressure to transfer cash to short-term UST and UST money market accounts due to the substantially higher yields available on risk-free UST vs. bank deposits.  These withdrawals will drain liquidity from community, regional and other banks and begin the destruction of these important institutions. ... This is one way the SRF & Billionaires are going to screw the herds of modern moron slaves around the Great USofT. Those that read the nonsense I write online may recall this little muffin! Well... I no DU

  Greetings from a Brand-New MENA (Middle East/North Africa) Iran-Saudi rapprochement reverberates all the way to Morocco Video link On  this week’s False Flag Weekly News  “J-Mike” Springmann fixed his audio glitch and joined me to comment on the week’s top news stories, which were almost all variations on an overriding theme: The Anglo-Zionist Empire has gone off the cliff and, like Wile E. Coyote, hasn’t yet looked down and realized it’s about to plunge to its demise. The neocons, who took over the empire on 9/11/2001 and have been driving it off the cliff ever since, seem to think they can lie their way out of any self-inflicted predicament. (“We’re an empire now, and we invent our own reality…”) People notice you blew the World Trade Center to kingdom come? Say it was jet fuel. Your bio-attack on China and Iran goes south? First blame batty pangolins, then the W.I.V. Sy Hersh exposes your pipeline terrorism? Start by blaming Putin, then invent some lunatic lie about a couple of lo
