Fed wants their money back?


Posted: Mar 31, 2011

By LIZ MOYER And DAVID BENOIT  from WSJ online.

One of the biggest secrets of the financial crisis was disclosed Thursday when the Federal Reserve released thousands of pages of data showing heavy discount-window borrowing by foreign banks, regional U.S. banks and institutions fighting for survival.

It was the first time the Fed has given details about banks that borrowed from the central bank's oldest emergency-lending facility. Thursday's move was forced by lawsuits filed by Bloomberg LP's Bloomberg News and News Corp.'s Fox Business Network, and last year's Dodd-Frank law requires the Fed to disclose future borrowings after a two-year lag. Details of other rescue programs by the Fed were made public in December.

One of the biggest surprises was multiple loans to a bank owned by the Central Bank of Libya. Arab Banking Corp., of Bahrain, got a $100 million, monthlong loan in September 2008 and borrowings in the hundreds of millions of dollars throughout 2009.

The bank also borrowed $1.2 billion in July 2009 and $1 billion in January 2010. In December, Libya's Central Bank increased its interest in ABC to more than 59% from its previous stake of about 30%.

The "FED" is NOT FEDERAL!!! - BusyBee

[ In Reply To ..]
The "Federal" Reserve is a PRIVATE CORPORATION. It is not "federal" because it is NOT part of the government. That is why for many years the Federal Reserve was not listed in the government pages in your local phone book but rather the white, business pages.

The INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE (IRS) is the ENFORCEMENT ARM of the Federal Reserve. Its role is to make sure that the INTERNATIONAL BANKSTERS (private, not government) get their cut of your money.

If you don't believe me, Google it. This stuff is well documented, has been known by those in the know for many years, and in fact has come out in several court cases.

THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE!

Yes, indeed, let the truth set us free... - The "Fed" is NOT federal, BUT...

we the people are now helping fund it.

...and THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE.

And "Fed" wasn't mean to imply - Fed Govt.

Extreme Fatigue, Tingling In Back, Back Pain Mar 05, 2013
I know it is the most common complaint doctors hear - and for years I have had the stressed-tired-overworked fatigue - I know how that one feels.  But this has been going on a couple of months.  I am bone tired even after I sleep a lot.  My blood work showed I am hypothyroid so I started on medicine and also some supplements for that.  But nothing seems to be helping.  I have pain/fatigue across the area of my back right at the braline.  My arms and neck feel heavy. ...

Men And MoneyJan 05, 2012
As a single women nearing 50, and having MANY male friends, there is one observation that just MUST be made. Men constantly complain that women are "only after (my) money," yet all of the men whom I know well who are even moderately "successful," whether married or single, have male friend(s) whom they fork money over to constantly.  Usually these take the form of "loans" that are NEVER actually repaid.  I don't know if my married buddies tell their wives about these "loans" or ...

Asking Husband For Money.May 11, 2011
I don't know about you all, but I HATE having to ask my husband for money, for anything! I make enough money to cover my personal expenses and the household bills and he pays the mortgage, loan on the cars and his personal expenses.  We take turns buying the monthly groceries.  It comes out pretty even, the only differences is, he has left over money from his check and I  do not. I stopped asking years ago because he'd give me the "where did all your money go" with att ...

Why Does Money Have To Be Such An Issue?Jun 23, 2010
Even when it's not the lack of it, but more the equality in spending it. My DH gets very upset and defensive when I suggest to him that he has a whole lot more money in his checking account than I do in mine, yet I'm paying ALL the household expenses, all the vet bills, and ALL the remodeling expenses on the house. He'll make some lame excuse, and then he closes up, shuts down, and sulks. I have more than enough to live on, but that's not the point. I've decide ...

Saving Money With CouponsDec 06, 2009
Hey ladies - I have a new website that is a great help in saving money while using coupons.  It is called thegrocerygame.com.  It does cost a nominal fee after the first month, but I have found it so worth it.  I think it is about a dollar a week plus the cost of buying your newspapers weekly to get the coupons.  It really works good for you though. I had never used coupons until I was at my sister's last week and she had a closet full of stuff that she was st ...

MOVE YOUR MONEY DAY! Do Yourself A HugeNov 05, 2011
I've been talking about it, and today I did it.  I took my money out of the big national bank I'd been with for over 20 years, Greed-of-America. The bank that had hidden fees up the wazoo.  The bank that charged me overdraft fees, even when I never overdrew my account. The bank that continually raised its minimum balance to a point where I was getting more money siphoned out of my account, even though I couldn't afford to put any more in, which is why I fell below the mi ...

I have a brother who is wealthy and has always been very generous to me. I am in the process of selling my house, and things are taking longer than expected. I am short of money and screwed up my courage to ask my brother for a loan until my house is sold (I have never asked him for anything in my entire life). It was a very difficult thing to do as I was embarrassed that my finances are so tight.He said not to worry about it and that he would write me a check, and then he called back and n ...
