The Fed’s Casino is in Flames, But Please Continue Gambling

Authored by Charles Hugh Smith via OfTwoMinds blog

Here’s the thing about gambling: risk cannot be made to disappear, it can only be transferred to others…

Those taking seats at the gaming tables in the Federal Reserve’s casino believe that they can’t lose. Or more precisely, any losses they suffer will quickly be made good by the house, i.e. the Fed, which can digitally print as much currency as needed to restore order to the gambling.

The punters crowding around the tables have forgotten that gambling is inherently risky. The Fed can digitally print currency, but it can’t force punters to play.

Unfortunately for all the punters crowding around the tables, the casino is on fire. The Fed’s rigged games are in flames, and Head Tout/Fixer Jay Powell is telling all the nervous gamblers who smell smoke to please stay at the tables and continue gambling, the fire is under control.

But of course it’s not under control, it’s raging out of control, and to maintain the illusion of control, the Fed is buying chips in its own games: buying junk bond funds and corporate bonds.

The Fed’s casino has operated on a simple principle: the Fed digitally prints trillions of dollars and hands the dough to broker-dealers in exchange for Treasury bonds, mortgage backed securities and now, junk bond funds and corporate bonds.

The new currency flowed into financial assets as banks, corporations and financiers borrowed money, leveraged it up and bought back their own shares or bought stocks.

What the punters don’t understand is this mechanism isn’t guaranteed. The players getting the freshly created dough don’t have to buy stocks or junk bonds. They only do so when they are confident that there are plenty of greater fools at the tables to buy these assets at higher prices.

The pool of greater fools is drying up, and so the Fed has been forced to start buying its own gambling chips directly. This is an act of complete desperation, yet the punters at the tables who smell the smoke don’t yet realize the fire is out of control and the entire casino will soon be engulfed in flames.

Here’s the thing about gambling: risk cannot be made to disappear, it can only be transferred to others. The absence of risk in the Fed’s casino is an illusion. The Fed’s casino has transferred all the well-hidden risk to the entire financial system, which is now in danger as the Fed’s burning casino triggers a conflagration few even imagine and virtually none think is possible.

So by all means, believe the soothing words of Head Tout/Fixer Jay Powell if you want, but realize that words and digitally printed currency won’t make risk disappear. Rather, they only increase the risk of the fire spreading to the entire financial system.

The Federal Reserve Has Its Own Police and is Part of a Vast Surveillance Center — Should You Worry?

Without any Congressional hearings on the matter, the USA Patriot Act in 2001 bestowed on the 12 regional Federal Reserve banks domestic policing powers. While the Federal Reserve Board of Governors in Washington, D.C. is deemed an “independent federal agency,” with its Chair and Governors appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, the 12 regional Fed banks are private corporations owned by the member banks in their region.

Bikers for Trump Plan Punitive Expedition to Reconquer CHAZ for United States

A Facebook event, purportedly run by Bikers for Trump, invites motor cycle enthusiasts from around the United States to descend on the Seattle Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone and reconquer the territory for the United States, in what may be described as a punitive expedition into the sovereign country.

Bikers for Trump leads a coalition that already has prominent groups from the American West Coast pledging to join together to recapture the autonomous zone, and claims that they had no right to “illegally” secede from the United States and form their own six-block nation.

Their punitive expedition is scheduled for July 4, 2020, the United States Independence Day. It is unknown if this date holds significance in CHAZ.

Exclusive: Drug Dealing Costumed Supervillain Emerges in CHAZ, Threatens Women

A former vigilante named ‘Phoenix Jones’ appears to have re-emerged in Seattle’s lawless Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone as a supervillain.

Phoenix Jones was previously a member of the ‘Seattle Superheroes’, a league of costumed social justice vigilantes who appear to have taken over law enforcement within the Zone following the abolition of the police there. However, he has since left the group and allegedly embraced a new identity as a rampantly misogynistic drug lord.

Investigative journalist Jack Posobiec, who has been reporting from within the CHAZ, provided an exclusive statement to the National File after talking to the Seattle Superheroes on Sunday.

Fauci Wants You to Remain Panicked, Insists You Follow Social Distancing Guidelines

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the already discredited United States health official wants Americans to remain in a panicked state of fear, and await the vaccine. Fauci insists that you must separate yourself from other humans and keep your emotional state in fear so the ruling class can continue to control you.

At this point, we should all know the idea behind comments from Fauci and the mainstream media outlets are designed to keep up in a state that makes us easily accepting of “authority” and our enslavement. People who are aware of this, are already free, and almost impossible to control, and the ruling class knows this:

The evidence is there that this “coronavirus” is not nearly as scary as they said it was. More damage has been done by the government’s response (which was an excuse to roll out the New World Order) than anything else. The good news is that Americans are waking up, but it’s always in our best interests to know who is trying to keep us afraid. Fauci says Americans are participating in “risky behaviors,” according to RT.

The protests over the police killing of George Floyd devolved into looting, vandalism, and arson across America that destroyed black lives, black livelihoods, and black monuments, and they started where George Floyd died, in Minneapolis.

It also released a map showing just how widespread the looting, vandalism, and arson spread.

The map breaks down the damage into four categories: cosmetic damage, minor damage, major damage, and wholly destroyed, CBS Local reported.

According to the map, twelve structures were “wholly destroyed” — and these buildings housed multiple businesses.

The goal was to force these sites to toe the line of what’s acceptable or notin the realm of user-generated content, in this case, the comments section.

Germany: Merkel Gave Antifa Supporter 1 Million Euros for Left-Wing Propaganda

Ever since Donald Trump announced he would designate “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, calls have emerged to pursue the violent far-left mobs and their shadowy backers internationally. Official budget number from the German government show this includes German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The budget for Angela Merkel’s Chancellery totaled €3.19 billion 2020, of which more than half, €1.82 billion, went to the Chancellor’s Office for Media and Culture. The office was created by Merkel’s forerunner Gerhard Schröder (Social Democrat) in 1998 even though the German constitution explicitly delegates cultural affairs to the states and not the federal government. Despite its apparent unconstitutionality, it now serves as a kind of propaganda ministry for the German Chancellor, with its own world-wide public broadcaster Deutsche Welle (German Wave).

Gun Rights Crushed by EU Court, Czechia Fights Back

The rights of the Czech Republic’s gun owners, and those in all of Europe, are under threat following a recent European Court of Justice decision to dismiss a Czech lawsuit challenging EU firearm restrictions, with the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating that the country will use all available statutory exceptions to mitigate the decision.

The Czech Republic complained to the EU Court that the EU directive is discriminatory as it interferes with the rights of firearms owners. At the same time, Czech representatives argued that MEPs did not sufficiently address the effects of the directive while approving it.

The European Court of Justice did not accept the argument from the Czech Republic and dismissed the Czech lawsuit against the EU directive.

Italy: Montanelli Statue Guarded After Being Attacked by Vandals

Late journalist admitted to ‘buying’ 12-year-old Eritrean

(ANSA) — Milan, June 18 — Municipal police guarded a controversial statue in Milan of late Italian journalist Indro Montanelli overnight after it was attacked by vandals at the weekend.

Montanelli is widely considered a great of Italian journalism but anti-fascist groups want the statue taken down because he bought and ‘married’ a 12-year-old Eritrean girl during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War in 1936.

A left wing student group claimed responsibility for the attack on the statue on the night between Saturday and Sunday, when they throw red paint over it and scribbled graffiti on it.

Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala has said that, while Montanelli made mistakes, he does not think the statue located in the Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli (Indro Montanelli Public Gardens) should be knocked down.

The ruling by the Constitutional Council on Thursday, June 18, 2020, is a win for free speech and even for big social media companies such as Twitter and Facebook. However, it is a disappointment for President Emmanuel Macron, who committed to restricting speech in the country and who wanted to make his country a pioneer in fighting misinformation, hate speech, and other illicit content on social platforms.

The extreme bill would have required social media companies to take down content with hate speech (content expressing prejudice against gender, race, disability, sexual orientation, and gender) within 24 hours. If a social platform failed to comply with the law, they would have been slapped with fines as high as 4 percent of their total global revenues.

Moscow (CNN) Russia has accused one of its leading Arctic researchers of treason, alleging that he gave sensitive information to China. This is the latest in a string of cases where high-profile Russian scientists have found themselves in a standoff with the security services over suspected foreign contacts.

The new species is enchanting yet deadly for its prey: insects attracted to its nectar glands are unable to keep their footing on the slippery waxed throat of the pitcher, sliding into the acidic enzyme stew waiting below, to be slowly digested. It is a beautiful plant, outwardly marbled with flecks of red on an acid-green background, the pitchers lined in a deep burgundy and hanging fatly in the shade of the montane forest understory like paper lanterns on living strings.

Someone should start a fund to hire some rough and no-nonsense guards to beat within an inch of their lives any orcs that might return to foul and destroy the church again. Also, some tattoo artists to tattoo orc faces with Christian crosses to identify miscreants and discourage further acts of desecration. That is a cause I would gladly donate to.

    • It would be much more effective to mark them with a simple piercing. A small piercing – say, about .22 inches diameter – could be placed between the eyes to mark the offenders. I bet they would remain pretty peaceful afterward.

  4. Anecdotal note about the unemployment stuff: my company filed for unemployment benefits on behalf of all staff whose hours were cut by 10% or more. Recently, my department director told us that we’re not going back to normal hours for the rest of the year and there’s a hiring freeze throughout the entire company. I wonder how common this is. It might explain why the unemployment numbers are so astronomically high. It’s not that everyone is unemployed, necessarily. But a lot of us are currently underemployed, and you can thank all the leftist scum and their communist scams for that. I would much rather work for my pay than live like this.

    • I believe it is very common.

      The company I work for has also followed suit, and has cut employees to the point it is affecting the ability to do our primary function. Work that could be getting done isn’t for lack of workers to do it while large swathes of employees remain furloughed. I will be furloughed too likely for good next month when a shop in another state is closed but seniority rules force those employees here and everyone here will be without a job.

      At least I can be happy in the knowledge that Mr Buffet still is raking in billions to add to his already inestimable wealth, his board of directors will still get their cut, and dividends will still get paid out to wealthy investors and hedge fund managers.

      I have believed in capitalism my whole life, but I have also believed in the concept of noblesse oblige. When the violent revolution begins and the wealthy and rentier class are rounded up and put to death along with their families, I will not shed a tear. And I don’t think I am alone in this belief.

      • I am also a believer in Capitalism, but there are things that are toxic to free market competition: Like monopolies, cartels cornering the markets, government interventions on behalf of friends of friends of politicians and bureaucrats, subsidies, taxes, etc, etc…

        The way capitalism is going right now, we gonna have one big umbrella corporation that will own everything from public toilets to the space programme, and that is not capitalism.
