what i gathered was the fed's release banks from having to hold on to the current minimum cash requirements, which allows them to loan out more cash reserves.. from: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20218020/.
one of the broadest tools the fed can apply to the supply of money in the system is raising or lowering the amount of reserves that banks are required to hold in their accounts.
raising reserves means banks have to hold onto more money, which tends to tighten credit.
Here's a great video from the Ludwig von Mises Institute about the Federal Reserve:

BA... I'm sorry, but that site is a joke. Chemtrails? REALLY? AIDS conspiracy theories... Herbal tea cancer cures... ROFL.
It serves you right if you judge the one good article on the site as flawed because other articles on the site are flawed. I don’t think you’ll find any site that isn’t flawed in some way. Google Federal Reserve, look at any article you like then. You’ll find the facts are well collaborated.
This is a systemic financial crisis. No help found for the global investment banks would mean: the next step would be the great tribulation. Chaos, bank-runs, global crisis and so on...
What you describe is inevitable at this point- all the loans and bailouts do is delay what must come, while making the coming crisis worse.
The elite are devaluing the dollar in this way on purpose. Why? Because very shortly they will push the NAU and the Amero on the US, Canada and Mexico- one currency to "unite" North America. The writing is on the wall, but the actions won’t happen until after the elections.
BA- Watching it all go down.

I think this is just the beginning of pangs of distress. Who said that?
Sylvia
Yes, pangs of distress, indeed. Babylon the Great has cast her spell in the form of worthless fiat money, and most people remain committed to running in the hamster wheel, trying to make more worthless money, all their lives. As Christ said, you can not serve God and Mammon. You must choose one or the other. Choose wisely.
Oh, and by the way, your dollar just got seriously devalued by the bailing out of AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.Probably
. But at least in the case of AIG, the 18 billion dollar loan has an 11% interest rate. Also, the Feds are holding 80% of AIG as collateral. AIG is a trillion dollar company, so that is good security. The Feds might actually profit off this in the end. Let's hope so.BTS
Well, to simplify it, let’s focus on how the Fed works. In order to loan AIG 18 billion dollars, they must pay the Treasury to print 1.8 billion dollars in currency. Assuming the mean bill to be printed equates to a 20 dollar bill, then the Fed pays the treasury 1.8 million dollars (1.8 billion/20*.02) to print that money so the loan can be made. Now, I’ll break this down into three issues:
1- AIG now pays the Fed around 200 million per year in interest (simple interest since the term is unknown). So the Fed makes around 198 million dollars per year for this "loan" that they created out of thin air. Keep in mind that the Fed is a privately owned corporation. Now, do the math on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The Fed gets paid interest on those bail-outs as well, of course.
2- If there is 10 trillion dollars in circulation, and the Fed pays the Treasury to print 1 Trillion dollars, they just devalued the dollar in your hand, the one you work for, by 10%. But, since it is truly worthless already, based on faith alone, your really just like Pavlov’s dog. Except the dog actually got something of value.
3- The Ponzi scheme is being exposed, and the only Presidential Candidate running on a platform that would abolish the Federal Reserve is Ron Paul. But as long as people choose to remain ignorant of what is causing the problems, they will vote for the candidates the elite have propped up through their lobbies- Obama or McCain, two sides of the same coin.
Brother Apostate:
I looked up what you said and it seems to be very true..... for those doubting see the following link.
http://www.federalreserve.gov/generalinfo/faq/faqfrs.htm
That link is misleading, as it states that the Fed is not a privately owned corporation.
This link tells all the juicy details that the foxes guarding the henhouse don’t like folks to know:
http://www.healthfreedom.info/Federal_Reserve_Fraud.htm
I'm not a big fan of Keith Olbermann on MSNBC, but he was really nailing Rupert Murdoch for saying it was good for these banks to be suffering losses.
As BTS stated, there should be no bailout for failures. Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, AIG, should all have been allowed to bleed to death. This move by the Fed will only encourage more failures. As I stated previously, look for around 1000 failures by the end of 2009. Interesting that the CEOs of the two failures, Fannie Mae's Daniel Mudd and Freddie Mac's Richard Syron, will each get around 7 million as part of a severance package for failing miserably. Rewarding failure only encourages more failure.
Perhaps he is one of the owners of the Federal Reserve.
No, the owners of the Fed (Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, Lazards- full list here, though it’s out of date: http://www.save-a-patriot.org/files/view/whofed.html ) are craftier than that. They create a weak economy by manipulating markets, then wait for the failures to occur, then profit from loans to and bailouts of the failures. It’s the elites way of getting richer while they devalue your money, making you poorer. Fun stuff.
My mom and Dad grew up during the Great Depression. Their Mantra was pay off your home as soon as possible and stay out of debt. They kept their money out of the stock market. They followed their own advice. My father is gone but my mom at 74, is very financially secure....home paid for and no worries of losses in the market.
r.
That’s good advice, and everyone should follow it.
BA- Enjoy.

raising reserves means banks have to hold onto more money, which tends to tighten credit.
The Federal Reserve (The Fed) is not:
- Federal (It is privately owned by many of the world's Billionaires)
- Reserve (They pay $0.02 for each note they tell the Treasury Department to print, be it a $1.00 note, or a 5, 10, 20, 50, or $100.00 note. They then charge "the Federal Reserve rate" (currently around 2%)in interest on that money.)
In other words, the create money of thin air, "Fiat Money".
Once the money is printed, say, 10 billion dollars, it is then portioned up to the five (actually 12) regional Fed Reserve banks. Let's say each gets 2 billion to keep the math simple. Each of the five regional Fed Reserve banks can then make loans to all the US banks in the amount of 10 times what they have on deposit, so in this case, each of the five regional Fed Reserve banks can loan out 20 billion to all the US banks.
Now, all the US banks can loan out 20 times what they have on deposit.
To summarize, the "Fed" pays 2 cents to print each note, and in the end, loans are made by banks that total 200 times what has been printed.
In other words, it's a ponzi scheme. It is also unconstitutional. The elite Billionaires paid three senators to stick around and sign the bill after all the other senators left for Christmas break in 1913.
There's nothing behind the currency but faith.
Oh, and by the way, your dollar just got seriously devalued by the bailing out of AIG, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, etc.
Plan on roughly 1,000 banks failing by the end of 2009.
BA- And that, folks, is the truth.
PS- I forgot to mention that these crooks at the Fed get paid that interest on the money they told the Treasury to print. Yes, the Fed, a privately held corporation, owned by the elite, gets PAID interest on all these transactions. Most of the Federal debt is paid to BILLIONAIRES. Don't ya love it?
...when he said "the one that has endured to the end will be saved"?.
thanks for your thoughts.. /newborn.
.
brother apostate makes it sound so simple, But as I pointed out the bible is so very complex. Are you then saying that the end that requires a preaching to the whole world is the end of the individuals life. You can see how convoluted it can all become. And yes the context is so very important. This just can't be talking about the end of the person.
I answered the question correctly. What other "end" makes sense? None. It isn't "complex" if you have critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. Perhaps you do not and that is why you find it "so very complex"? Or is it just intellectual laziness, or just not wanting to believe? I truly don't understand how anyone could have trouble with this, it is plain as day. The other "end" (Matthew 24:14) is obviously talking about Armageddon, which hasn't come yet. Do I really need to explain to you why there is nothing "convoluted" here?
BA- Bewildered.
...when he said "the one that has endured to the end will be saved"?.
thanks for your thoughts.. /newborn.
.
What do you think Jesus meant...when he said "the one that has endured to the end will be saved"?
First, read the context of that statement:
All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes. "A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for the student to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebub, how much more the members of his household! "So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. -Matthew 10:22-28
"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. -Matthew 24:9-14
He is referring to the end of an individual Christian's life, whether that end be from martyrdom or death by natural causes. If you think about it, that is clearly what He taught here. True Christians are to live their life for God, up to and including death. He made it clear that it won't be easy, but it will all be worth it when we see him face to face.
BA- Cheers.
http://money.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=632789 discusses that "the collapse of these pillars of the us financial system inevitably will result in the decline of the us as a financial power.
" i have received emails from jws saying this proves the end is near.
(surprise surprise, i hasten to remind them that hurricanes, floods and us economic issues are not part of the sign of the end.
To directly answer your question: Maybe in the short term.
To expound on the issue: All the exuberant buying in this worldwide economy, all the exports, all the imports, are based on one thing that most do not understand the significance of:
Fiat money.
Money made from nothing, that most put their faith in.
Credit made from nothing, that most put their faith in.
Power made from nothing, that most put their faith in.
BA- Wake up- the house of cards is falling, and you will have your eyes opened, willingly or unwillingly
i am so sick of the "team" mentality on both sides.
for instance, i am a fiscal conservative, right?
but the conservatives in office are spending like drunken sailors.
BTTT because, dammit, the name calling and dogmatic responses on here are driving me nuts. The Dems? Not all peace loving, poor helping, corporation hunting watchdogs. Republicans? Not all ahole warmonger price big business helpers. Christians? not all bigots, fundie, my way or the highway folks etc. Also not all peaceful, christ loving folk either. Same on both sides for athiests, jews, muslims, etc. Did'nt we all learn enough about being polarized, dogmatic, "I'M RIGHT and your an idiot, satanic, of the "world" etc. if you don't agree with me?"
Yeah, I'll bite. The "bickering" (in reality parroting the "party line") is disconcerting. More accurately, it sickens me to see how easily most of humanity is led willingly to the slaughter. The elite of the world we live in are bringing everything to a head. When you realize the fiat currency you work for is valueless, you will wish that you had realized it beforehand, rather than be disillusioned when that time comes. Wake up. Things are getting worse, but God's deliverance for his chosen ones is in sight.
BA- (In my best Star Trek impression) "There is no intelligent life on this planet, Scotty, please beam me up".
we have seen many times over the years where jurys make their judgements based on emotions and not on the rule of law or the facts.
-the menendez brothers after killing their parents were found not guilty by the jury.
being asked why they decided the case that way the reason given was "those boys are so handsome and now they don't even have a mother.
The biggest part is that we criminalize what are called "victimless crimes". If there are no victims, something should not be a crims. A large part of the problem is the drug war.
BTS
Amen, Brother! The "war on drugs" is a disastrous failure. I'm all for putting drug abuse issues in the hands of employers, not the government. Employers currently have the right to have employees submit to random drug testing. Employers can make whatever rules they wish regarding use or non use of certain substances, and provide penalties (including firing) for breaking the rules. That would eliminate the DEA, 40% of the prison population, as well as a corresponding decrease in attorneys, judges, police, corrections officers, and other related jobs. That is clearly why "they" don't want it- the fox is guarding the hen house.

No way. The US "justice" system is anything but just. 1 out of 150 Americans are now in prison, 1 out of every 36 black americans are in prison. The system is broken- too many archaic laws, a court system that in actuality presumes guilt rather than innocence before trial, minimum mandatory sentencing, are just some of the more common travesties of justice currently infecting the system.
The last thing we need are "professional" jurors- not only would that be unconstitutional, it would make a corrupt system that much worse. For every OJ that walks, there are busloads of innocents that get railroaded. Pray that you don't become one of them. Freedom is an illusion, open your eyes and see.
